  === Life Sketch ===
  4.1 TAMAR TEPHI
  Most British-Israel writers used to say that there was a ‘Tamar Tephi’ or ‘Tea-Tephi’ in Irish legends, and that she is King Zedekiah’s daughter. She was supposedly the first royal ‘Queen of Israel’ escaping with the prophet Jeremiah to Ireland – and her name is scattered throughout British-Israel magazines and books. Really, she never existed. In the Spring 2001 edition of the Crown and Commonwealth magazine (distributed through some British-Israel World Federation branches) there was an open admission that the Tamar Tephi story was simply an “error arising mainly from enthusiasm for a conjectural view of ill- founded data”. It admits that after the British-Israel World Federation ‘Investigating Committee’ re-assessed the Annals of Ireland (1171-1616 A.D.) it was clear that Tephi and Tea were “two different ladies”. Tephi was, in fact, “a daughter of Bachtir, king of Spain” – and not a daughter of the Zedekiah, king of Israel after all. The article admits that, “[h]er ancestry being so well known it does not seem possible for her to have been the daughter of a Judaic king”. Tea was a “daughter of Lugaidh, son of Ith, and queen of Heremon”. The British-Israel World Federation now admits that Tephi and Tea two different ladies, and not only that - but that neither of them could have been Israelites!
  
  === Shem and Japheth Lineages ===
  This is where the lines of Shem and Japheth come together. Hereman the descendant of Japhet. And Tea Tephi, the daughter of King Zedekiah is the descendant of SHEM's line.
  
  === Daughter of Zedekiah; last of the Kings ===
  Daughter of Zedekiah; last of the Kings of Judah. While her father was having
  to witness the torture and execution of his remaining three grown sons at the
  hand of Nebuchadrezzor (Nebuchadnesar) of Babylon, then suffering his eyes to
  be put out, his wife and daughters were being spirited out of the country on a
  caravan to Egypt; where they survived to marry and beget the modern race of
  Irish kings and the Scottish forbears of the English Edwardians.

  === Legends ===
  Tamar is the correct name for this person. She was called Tea as well. Her name means "Palm Tree". When she arrived in what is now called Northern Ireland in about 585 BC, the people called her Tephi which means "Beautiful". The land was called Danaan after the Tribe of Dan. These isles were all of what is now called Ireland. Her beauty was exceptional and the people were intrigued by her. She was the daughter of King Zedekiah and was brought to Danaan by Jeremiah the Prophet. She married the King of that part of Danaan. King Heremon was also of the tribe of Judah. He was from the Twin son of Judah Zarah and Tamar was from the twin son of Judah Pharez.
  
  Jeremiah the Prophet was the guardian of the two sister who were the daughters of King Zedekiah King of Judah. The younger sisters name is unknown at this time. The eldest daughter is Tamar. She was the rightful Queen of Judah after the death of her father, Zedekiah. The history is that the Prophet Jeremiah and his party of the two sisters, Tamar being one of the sisters, Simon Baruch, scribe of Jeremiah, the Ark of the Covenant set sail from Tahpanhes, Egypt westward. It was not a strange voyage, for the mariners of those days were familiar with the British Isles, named by the Prophet Isaiah as "the isles afar off." Thy stopped at Iberia which is now Portugal and Spain. The younger sister disembarks and remains in Iberia. Her name is still not known however, it appears she may have married into one of the monarchies and the historians are near to finding out who she is. The voyage continued north to the Port of Carrick-fergus, on Belfast Lough, Danaan now Northern Ireland. In those days the whole Irish Isles were called Danaan i.e., The Tribe of Dan. The people were known as Danomians. They are also called Zarahires and Iberians or Milesians. The capital of the Danomians state was Tara. The King was named Eochaidh Heremon (the Ploughman). In Irish history the names of the party which came from Egypt are given as Ollam Fodhla (learned prophet) who is Jeremiah the Prophet, Simon Burg ( secretary) who is Simon Baruch (Baruch ben Neriah (Hebrew: c. 6th century BC was the scribe, disciple, secretary, and devoted friend of the Biblical prophet Jeremiah. He is traditionally credited with authoring the deuterocanonical Book of Baruch) and Tamar Tephi (beautiful palm).
  
  According to Josephus, Baruch was a Jewish aristocrat, a son of Neriah and brother of Seraiah ben Neriah, chamberlain of King Zedekiah of Judah.
  Baruch became the scribe of the prophet Jeremiah and wrote down the first and second editions of his prophecies as they were dictated to him. Baruch remained true to the teachings and ideals of the great prophet, although like his master he was at times almost overwhelmed with despondency. While Jeremiah was in hiding to avoid the wrath of King Jehoakim, he commanded Baruch to read his prophecies of warning to the people gathered in the Temple in Jerusalem on a day of fasting. The task was both difficult and dangerous, but Baruch performed it without flinching and it was probably on this occasion that the prophet gave him the personal message.
  
  Both Baruch and Jeremiah witnessed the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem of 587–586 BC. In the middle of the siege of Jerusalem, Jeremiah purchased an estate in Anathoth on which the Babylonian armies had encamped (as a symbol of faith in the eventual restoration of Jerusalem), and, according to Josephus, Baruch continued to reside with him at Mizpah. Reportedly, Baruch had influence on Jeremiah; on his advice Jeremiah urged the Israelites to remain in Judah after the murder of Gedaliah.
  
  Baruch's prominence, by reason of his intimate association with Jeremiah, led later generations to exalt his reputation still further. To him were attributed the Book of Baruch and two other Jewish books.

  Tea Tephi
  
  Tea Tephi is a legendary princess found described in British Israelite literature from the 19th century. Revd F. R. A. Glover, M.A., of London in 1861 published England, the Remnant of Judah, and the Israel of Ephraim in which he claimed Tea Tephi was one of Zedekiah's daughters. Since King Zedekiah of Judah had all his sons killed during the Babylonian Captivity no male successors could continue the throne of King David, but as Glover noted Zedekiah had daughters who escaped death (Jeremiah 43: 6). Glover believed that Tea Tephi was a surviving Judahite princess who had escaped and traveled to Ireland, and who married a local High King of Ireland in the 6th century BC who subsequently became blood linked to the British Monarchy.[18] This theory was later expanded upon by Rev. A.B. Grimaldi who published in 1877 a successful chart entitled Pedigree of Queen Victoria from the Bible Kings and later by W.M.H. Milner in his booklet The Royal House of Britain an Enduring Dynasty' (1902, revised 1909). Charles Fox Parham also authored an article tracing Queen Victoria's linage back to King David (through Tea Tephi) entitled Queen Victoria: Heir to King David's Royal Throne.
  The Tea Tephi British-monarchy link is also found in J. H. Allen's Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright (1902, p. 251). A central tenet of British Israelism is that the British monarchy is from the Davidic line and the legend of Tea Tephi from the 19th century attempted to legitimise this claim. Tea Tephi however has never been traced to an extant Irish source before the 19th century and critics assert she was purely a British Israelite invention. A collection of alleged bardic traditions and Irish manuscripts which detail Tea Tephi were published by J. A. Goodchild in 1897 as The Book of Tephi, the work is however considered pseudo-historical or a forgery. There is though a queen called Tea (singular) in Irish mythology who appears in the Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland.
  
  She is described as the wife of Érimón a Míl Espáine (Milesian) and dated to 1700 BC (Geoffrey Keating: 1287 BC). These dates are inconsistent with the British Israelite literature which date Tea Tephi to the 6th century BC, but later British Israelites such as Herman Hoeh (Compendium of World History, 1970) claimed that the Milesian Royal House (including Tea) was from an earlier blood descendant of the Davidic Line who entered Britain around 1000 BC (citing Ruaidhrí Ó Flaithbheartaigh's reduced chronology). Linked to Glover's original claims of Tea Tephi, are Grimaldi and Milner's theory that Jeremiah himself in the company of his scribe Baruch ben Neriah traveled to Ireland with Tea Tephi and that they are found described in Irish folklore and old Irish manuscripts. Some British Israelites identify Baruch ben Neriah with a figure called Simon Berac or Berak in Irish myth, while Jeremiah with Ollom Fotla (or Ollam, Ollamh Fodhla). However like Tea Tephi there has long been controversy about these identifications, mainly because of conflicting or inconsistent dates. In 2001, the British-Israel-World Federation wrote an article claiming they no longer subscribed to these two identifications, but still strongly stick to the belief that the British monarchy is of Judahite origin. In an earlier publication Covenant Publishing Co. in 1982 admitted that Tea Tephi could not be traced in Irish literature or myth and may have been fabricated by Revd F. R. A. Glover, however they clarified they still believed in the Milesian Royal House Davidic Line bloodline connection (popularised by Hoeh). Herbert Armstrong (1986) also took up this legendary connection. Nonetheless there are still proponents of the Tea-Tephi legend first tracable to Glover.
  
  === Is this a real person? ===
  While King of Danaan Eochoaidh Buaidhaig Mac Duach Ruler of Aileach most certainly had a wife, was it really this woman? And was Zedekiah really her father? I don't know. But here is a piece of research that calls into question this assertion:
