General Notes

Note: Jeremiah, the prophet, left Israel with the two princessdaughters of Zedekiah. They went to Egypt and then sailed to Ireland. The ancient records of Ireland bear ample testament to this as an historic fact, not only the event itself but also supplying evidence by giving the actual date of their arrival, as shown below. With the authenticity of these Irish records it is interesting to note that Sir James McIntosh, writing on ancient Irish history, says: ---The Irish nation possesses genuine history several centuries more ancient than any other European nation possesses in its present spoken language." These Irish records tell of a ship of the "Iberian Danaan" (Hebrew Dan-ites of the shipping tribe of Dan) becoming wrecked a tCarrickfergus off the north east coast of Ireland. They also state that in this ship there was not only a Royal Princess but also a man referred to as "Ollamh Fodlila" meaning Holy Seer or Prophet accompanied by his servant "Bruch"; and that this shipwrecked party had in their possession an historic stone called "LIA FAIL" meaning Stone wonderful which they very highly treasured. The records conclude with an account of the marriage between the Royal Princess and "Eochaidh" the Heremon or King of Ireland, giving the Princess's name as "Tamar Tephi" meaning Palm Beautiful, an appropriate name for the one destined to fulfill Ezekiel's prophecy of the Tender Twig.

The royal records state that Ollamh Fodhla preceded King Cimboath of Ulster by 230 years. The latter is generally accepted as having died in the year B.C. 353; thus 230 years earlier gives a date of B.C. 583/2. B.C. 583-582 is the exact Scriptural date of Jeremiah's flight into Egypt after the downfall of Jerusalem.
