A fresh look at the early history of Israel, with special emphasis on the little-known and immensely important events that helped to shape our modern world. Here is the untold story of Israel's sojourn in Egypt and evidence that God's People visited distant lands in Europe and America in ancient times. Author Steven Collins retells the story of the Book of Genesis and the lives of the Patriarchs with a keen insight into the meaning of interesting clues that other authors have missed. This is not just a rehash of history, but a re-analysis of a foundational book of Holy Scripture in the light of subsequent events and Bible prophecy. In addition to all of that, it is quite a good read!!!
        A wonderfully-written and lucid account, full of little-known historical and Biblical details that take you "behind the scenes" to one of the most important periods of Biblical history. The central theme of this book is the Biblical covenant which God made with the Patriarchs and their descendants. This included the Biblical promise of numerous descendants who would build powerful, wealthy nations. Over 100 maps, charts, and illustrations, and extensive indexes and bibliography. Beautiful full-color cover artwork by a long-time member of CBIA/The Servant People, Ruth Lincoln, depicts Jacob's prophetic blessing found in Genesis chapter 48. One of the best examples of current Old Testament scholarship which upholds our belief. You will love and benefit from this book! Softcover 6 x 9 inches, 296 pages. (280 + xvi)

       Was ancient Israel a land-locked nation or a seacoast trading empire? In this fascinating study, historian Steven Collins details the little-known story of Israel's ancient empires. Not only did King David's land empire stretch clear across the Mid-East to Mesopotamia, but Israel boasted a navy rivaling the famed Phoenicians, and in fact dominated them. Hebrew ships plied the Mediterranean, establishing colonies along the European and North African coasts. Israel's influence in the ancient city-state of Carthage has never before been so thoroughly documented, nor her definite presence in early Britain. New evidence is presented also suggesting that her ships visited the North American continent, as well.
      This study plows much new ground in ancient history. Mr. Collin's knack for patient research and logical deduction is only exceeded by a lively and riveting writing style that will surely hold the reader's attention to the last page. Over 100 maps and illustrations complement this unique study! Softcover 6 x 9 inches, 296 pages (280 + xvi). Beautiful full-color cover art of the ancient city of Carthage by our long-time member, Ruth Lincoln, graces the front and back covers. Very well researched with 27 pages of appendixes. Another great book!

      This book details the history of the greatest Israelite empire in the post-exilic period. This ancient superpower rival of Rome that lasted for half a millennium was the Parthian Empire. Its Semitic-Israelite origins are well-documented as well as the fact that its single dynasty was descended from King David. Another surprise: The cover of the book shows a cutaway diagram of an ancient Parthian direct current battery, drawn from an original photograph by our own long-time artist and association member, Ruth Lincoln. A number of these batteries have been found, and this book documents the sensational discovery of electricity in Parthia and examines its possible ancient uses.
      Parthia rose to power as Carthage fell, and the names of Israelite tribes and clans are in evidence within the Parthian Empire. Parthia's first capital city was named after "Isaac." Josephus, the famous Jewish historian, records that the ten tribes were a very numerous people in Asia and he identifies them as living in Parthia's Empire! Some of the events of Jesus Christ's life become more understandable when they are examined in light of the politics that prevailed between Rome and Parthia at that time. One group of Parthian elites that chose Parthia's emperors was called the "Magi" or "Wise Men." A delegation of these high Parthian officials worshipped the young Jesus. You will enjoy the fascinating account of this mighty, but little-known empire that played an important role in the Biblical story! Full color cover, 6 x 9 inches, over 100 maps and illustrations, 272 pages (256 + xvi), 16 pages of indexes.

       Most efforts to locate the "lost" House of Israel have failed because of erroneous assumptions. Searchers assume that the supposedly "lost" ten tribes of Israel would be found in isolated little bands of people. However, the first chapter of Hosea and other Biblical prophecies foretold that the nations of the ten tribes would be found among the wealthy and powerful nations with large populations!

       This book identifies the modern House of Israel as those nations descending from the Goths, Saxons, Germans and related peoples who migrated into Europe from Asia after the fall of Parthia and Scythia. They have enjoyed national prominence, power, and prosperity as the primary recipients of the divine "birthright" blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant. Many nations have Israelite roots, in whole or in part. Not only did they retain Semitic-Israelite names and customs, but many of the tribal and clan names of the ten tribes of Israel are found among them. This book presents exciting new research and over 140 maps, charts, and illustrations to provide convincing evidence concerning the Israelite origin of large modern nations.

       The final portion of this book utilizes Biblical prophecies about the tribes of Israel, as well as evidence from secular history, to identify the descendants of each tribe in the modern world. Readers may marvel at how specifically the prophecies have been fulfilled among modern nations, and that these nations even now enjoy the promised blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant. With the substantial body of evidence laid out in this book, their Israelite origin and character is impossible to miss.

       This book series expands upon Mr. Collins first book, The “Lost” Ten Tribes of Israel…Found! and reveals much new information about the tribes of Israel.  They are fully indexed and contain a large number of photographs, illustrations, narratives and maps not in Mr. Collins’ first book. This new book is 6x9 inches and 312 pages (296+xvi) with full-color soft cover, and over 140 illustrations!
