This 1795 Philadelphia edition reprints Richard Brothers' 1794 London publication, in which he proclaims himself a millennialist prophet, Prince of the Hebrews, and descendant of King David. Brothers details his belief in the imminent return of the Jews to Jerusalem (by 1798) under his leadership, identifying a 'hidden Israel' within Great Britain's population. He also predicted a significant role in gathering the Jews back to Palestine. This book is considered the first British-Israelite publication.
