With roots in the 16th century, British Israelism was inspired by several 19th century English writings such as John Wilson's 1840 Our Israelitish Origin. From the 1870s onward, numerous independent British Israelite organizations were set up throughout the British Empire as well as in the United States; as of the early 21st century, a number of these organizations are still active. In the United States, the idea gave rise to the Christian Identity movement.In introducing his book, Allen writes: "e;In dealing with this subject of the national rebirth of Judah we have shown that the work of President Wilson in Europe and its far-reaching results, in relation to Zionism, is the fulfillment of prophecy."e;About the author:John Harden Allen (1847 - May 14, 1930): was an American minister associated with the Church of God (Holiness), and British Israelism.
