Pharez and Zarah Separated at birth united in Ireland Genesis 38:24-30

To see Genesis 38:24-30 without my comments click HERE.

These seemingly benign verses in Chapter 38 talk about the twins Pharez and Zarah. These twins are quite significant in that they played an important role in uniting Israel under one throne. I wanted to make sure I took the time in a short post to mention a few distinguishing facts about these twins which is not fully realized unless one knows a couple of things about the history of Israel. I hope to spark others to have interest in these statements and study this for themselves. I desire for all to study all things that are told to them rather than just taking another persons word for anything

Facts about Pharez and his descendants...

It was later the descendants of Pharez that became the tribe of Judah as we know it when all of Israel was under one banner by King David.

It's recorded in the Bible that Pharez was a direct ancestor of the Messiah Matt 1:3.

Facts about Zarah and his descendants...

It's the descendants of Zarah that are mentioned in 1 Kings 4:29-31 as the “wise men of the East” which we know today as the Parthia. What is commonly thought of when reading the Bible about the Parthians is the visitation of the three wise men (although the bible does not say how many) that visited the Messiah when he was born in Bethlehem. The Parthian's wisdom was only exceeded by Solomon. These same sons of Zarah found many ancient cities such as Troy, Athens, Ancient Phoenicia, and they became founders of the Milesian Civilizations.

The descendants of Zarah along with the tribe of Dan left Egypt many years before the Exodus of Israel. They moved people to the Northern shores of the Mediterranean Sea and as far West as the British Isles. When the tribe of Judah was taken to Babylon the Prophet Jerremiah was instructed by the Father to both build and plant. Jeremiah moved the surviving kings heirs, Tephi and Scota of the throne of Judah, to Ireland. History records when they arrived in Ireland they were shipwrecked and rescued 18 June 583B.C. by The High King Eochaidh of the Zarah line from Northern Ireland, which Tephi was destined to marry. A good introductory book for anyone wanting to do a study of the transplanting of the tribe of Judah is “The Book of Tephi” which I have in my library and am willing to loan it to anyone I personally know.

To this very day the flag of Northern Ireland is still a hand with a scarlet cord, it is also shown as simply a red hand.

In West minster Abby there is the chart showing the blood line of Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth is a direct descendant to both Pharez and Zarah. Reproductions of this chart are sold by Artisan Publishers for anyone interested in owning a copy.

Praise the Lord!
