Judah’s Sceptre and Joseph’s Birthright offers a rare opportunity to peel back layer after layer of the Old Testament and gain a totally new understanding of the Old and New Testaments. This book covers the history of the covenant promises made by God to Abraham. It follows those promises and the Children of Israel from then until now by tracking the history of how the promises were divided among the Children of Israel and where those people are today. This book is basically a history lesson and each fact is cross referenced against biblical account and secular historical record making every argument in the book airtight. J.H. Allen presents the material in this book as if he were an attorney presenting a court case. The book is over 100 years old and it is amazing how relevant everything is to today. It is not easy reading, but it is well worth the effort.
