The Theory of British Israelism

CHRIST THE KING

Since Christ had a sign over his head on the crucifixion reading "King of the Jews", are we to assume that He was King for Judah only?  No, for the scriptures are plain that Christ was the promised Messiah for all Israel.  The disciples understood this when they questioned Him in Acts 16, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the Kingdom to ISRAEL?"

Obviously, "Jew" and "Israel" were used interchangeably in Christ's day.

After putting up the sign "King of the Jews", His mockers then said, "He is the King of Israel'; Let Him now come down from the cross and we shall believe in Him".  (Matthew 27:42).  Again, the terms interchange.
