Subject: Prophecies

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.

A Revealed Knowledge of the Prophecies and Times: Book the First, by Richard Brothers. Published in Philadelphia in 1795, this book is a reprint of the 1794 London edition. Brothers, a self-proclaimed Millennialist prophet, declared himself the apostle of a new religion in 1793, believing he had a special role in the return of the Jews to Palestine. He asserted that 'hidden Israel' existed within Great Britain, unaware of their lineage, and that he would reveal their identity and lead them to Canaan. He proclaimed himself Prince of the Hebrews, a descendant of David, and nephew of the Almighty, destined to rule Israel until the return of Christ. He claimed to achieve this with a miraculous rod. This work is considered the first British-Israel publication.
