The New Jerusalem

Solomon build the first great Temple of Jerusalem in the tenth century BC and Israel prospered with
adundance.  Alas, as soon as Solomon died the Kingdom of Israel split in two.  The Jewish people
were enslaved and could only bewail the destruction of Jerusalem - a lament that still echoes around
the precincts of where Solomon's Temple once stood.

With the division of Solomon's Kingdom the two southern tribes (Benjamin and Judah) become the
Kingdom of Judah while the northern ten of the original tribes formed a seperate Kingdom called
variously Israel, Samaria or Ephraim in the bible.

This northern Kingdom lasted until 722 BC when Samaria was sacked by the Assyrians and the
people of northern Israel 'the lost tribe' so called, were forcibly transported to new homes on the
south-eastern fringes of the Caspian Sea.

Nobody knows for certain exactly what happened to the lost tribes of Israel for they disappear from
the bible narrative.  However, it is prophesied in the bible that one day the identity of their descendants would become known and that they would be re-united with their brethen from Judah in a single Kingdom, ruled over by a descendant of King David.

There is a long tradition that the lost tribes of Israel eventually settled in Britian.  More specifically,
there is clear evidence that this esoteric undercurrent linking Britian with Israel influenced intellectual circles in the sixteenth century and was one of the motivating factors behind the English Reformation. We can go way further back into history but for now lets stay with this century.

On 2/9/1666 a spark from a baker's oven ignited the premises within minutes the immediate neighbourhood of Pudding Lane just north of the Thames, near London Bridge was engulfed in flames.  The fire raged for five days and by then virtually the whole of the City of London had been destroyed.  London left with no choice but to demolish the ruins of the great Gothic edifice and start again.  King Charles II took an active interest in the rebuilding of London surrounded by a closely knit circle of exceptionally able men, suffice to say that they were men of vision who looked upon city planning as a means of doing God's work. Christopher Wren was the chief mind whom took on the reconstruction of London.

Revelation 21
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth.  The first heaven and the first earth disappeared and the sea vanished.  And I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared and ready, like a bride dressed to meet her husband.
vs9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came to me and said, "Come, and I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." The Spirit took control of me, and the angel carried me to the top of a very high mountain.  He showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down out of heaven from God.  The city shone like a precious stone, like a jasper, clear as crystal.  It had a great, high wall with twelve gates and with twelve angels in charge of the gates.  On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the people of Israel.  There were three gates on each side: three on the east, three on the south, three on the north, and three on the west.  The city's wall was built on twelve foundation-stones, on which were written
the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.  The angel who spoke to me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.  The city was perfectly square, as wide as long.  
Ch 22 vs 6  Then the angel said to me, "These words are true and can be trusted.  And the Lord God, who gives his Spirit to the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must happen very soon".

Yes plus a certain amount of magic as well!
