ANCIENT ROOTS OF BRITISH-ISRAELISM

The belief that the British and related peoples dwelling in Northwest Europe (and their descendants around the world) are the direct descendants of ancient Israel, has been around for centuries in some form or other.
The idea that this doctrine only arose in the late 18th century or sometime in the mid-19th is not true or an accurate record of history.
British-Israelism as it began to gain traction and books published mentioning it (such as that of the Richard Brothers and John Sadler's) it is important to note that "In either case, each of these grew out of earlier puritan works and Millenarism fervor." (Levi Keach, Justifying Belief within the Christian Identity Movement: An Exercise in Memetics, University of Kansas, Dec 2011, p. 4)

 
Aidan Cottrell-Boyce, "Jewish Christians in Puritan England, " 2021:

Queen  Elizabeth was crowned as a new Deborah, King James as a new Solomon(p. 31) And the King thought of an 'Israelite England' that he was ruling over (ibid).

'In the sixth century, the chronicler Gildas associated England with the polity of Israel.' (p. 33)

Noted Sabbatarian Thomas Totney believed that the Saxons were traceable back to the Biblical Israel:
Thomas Totney referred to himself 'as a Jew [i.e. Israelite] of the tribe of Reuben' (p. 161) and he 'traced his lineage back to ancient Israel.' (p. 188)
'The notion that a millennial reign of the saints would dawn, that the Jews [ie Israel] would be repatriated to Jerusalem ...'
But the Sabbatarians and pockets of Protestants such as the Fifth Monarchists held to this view.

A number of books and articles concerning the ancient roots of British Israelism are available online...:
