Tin ingots discovered near Haifa. 
 Made with metal from Cornwall.

“The finds, which point to connections 
 with Sardinia and Sicily on the one hand 
 and the Atlantic regions on the other, 
 confirm an important two-way metal trade 
 stretching from the western Mediterranean 
 though the Straits of Gibraltar 
 and up along the Atlantic toast to Britain.” A History of Seafaring, Based on Underwater Archaeology (Based on undersea discoveries going back to the fourth century B.C.)

“The temptation to invade the island 
 lay not only in the pearls, 
 the gold and the tin for which it seems 
 to have been noted among certain 
 Mediterranean merchants long before the 
 foundation of Rome; temptation lay 
 also in its fertile soil...” History of England, by George Macaulay Treveyan

John Thomas Elpis Israel — The Hope of Israel “ I know not whether the men, who at present contrive the foreign policy of Britain, entertain the idea of assuming the sovereignty of the Holy Land, and of promoting its colonization by the Jews; their present intentions, however, are of no importance one way or the other, because they will be compelled, by events soon to happen, to do what, under existing circumstances, heaven and earth combined could not move them to attempt.” Elpis Israel — 1848

Robert Roberts Diary of a Voyage

Tarshish Summary • Traded in silver, iron, tin and lead in the ancient world. • Consisted of coastland or islands far west from the land of Israel. (Jonah 1:3; Jeremiah 31:10; Isaiah 60:9) • A merchant trading power, with others associated with it, including Sheba and Dedan. (Ezekiel 27:12; 38:13) • Would have the message of the return of the Jews preached to them. Necessarily before they returned.

Two Powers in Relation to Israel 
 in the Latter Days • Ezekiel 38:1,5,6; 39:2 — The northern confederacy led by Gog and opposed by the Tarshish powers (38:12). • Daniel 11:40-45 — The king of the north and the king of the south. • Zechariah 6:1-8 — Two mountains of brass.

A Mountain a Symbol of a Kingdom “And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord. Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.” Jeremiah 51:24-25

Two Powers in Relation to Israel

The Results of Brexit • Take off the brakes slowing down European integration. (Revelation 17:13) • Europe will look towards Russia regarding security. • Deliverance for Bible believers in the UK. • Push the UK to turn to it’s traditional commonwealth nations for trade, including Sheba and Dedan. • Preparation for a future work for Tarshish.
