The Lords Prayer in 11th Century English

[davethenobody]

I came across this short clip, I found it very moving, something very deep and profound.
This version of the Lord's Prayer probably isn't recognizable by the majority of modern English speakers. 1000 AD is before the Norman invasion of England and therefore many of the words in modern English that were taken from French are not yet present in the language so this is probably the way it was spoken from at least the 5th to the 11th century and therefore perhaps the original 'English' that our Hebrew ancestors spoke when they settled in the Brit-ish Isles since this is the earliest known version here.

It is easy to recognize that there is little significant difference from other Gælic and Norse languages except perhaps in dialect such as Scots and Irish for example. The difference now being they have retained their languages and we English have forgotten ours. This is the language that would have evolved from Paleo Hebrew as our ancestors migrated over many centuries into western Europe following the captivity and dispersion. It is also the language that our savior would have heard and spoken when he visited these islands, according to true history.

When you come across things like this, then there can be no doubt about who we are.....

You can read the text as you listen, I got all misty eyed I must admit..

ac alys us of yfele

We, the Anglo-Saxon and related people have such a wonderful heritage and I am certain I only know the tip of the iceberg. I cannot wait for Yahshua's return when all will be revealed to us. So much has been lost and so much of our history rewritten with lies. All will be revealed. Praise YHWH!

I can't wait either.

The OP says that Jesus visited England/Britain, I've never heard of that theory before. Unfortunately I don't think he posts here anymore.

It's a common belief in Identity that Jesus travelled to Britain with Joseph of Arimathea during his childhood.


E Raymond Capt did a video on the subject:




It's quite eerie watching it, as my family spent a decade living down in that area, so I'd often visit there in my childhood. Interesting seeing him going round all the places I'd spend my summers and expounding Identity beliefs.

It is a common belief, which dates to at least the 12th or 13th century and which British-Israel propagated. For my part, I am skeptical. It is one of those back-burner issues which I do not trumpet because of a lack of original documentation.
