=== Two House theology ===
{{Main|Two House theology}}

Like British Israelites, Christian Identity adherents believe in Two House theology, which makes a distinction between the Tribe of Judah and the [[Ten Lost Tribes]]. "Israel" was the name given to Jacob after he [[Jacob wrestling with the angel|wrestled with the angel]] at [[Penuel]] as described in Genesis 32:26–32. Israel then had twelve sons which began the [[Twelve Tribes of Israel]]. Around 931 BC the unified kingdom was split into the [[Kingdom of Israel (Samaria)|Kingdom of Israel]] in the north and the [[Kingdom of Judah]] in the south. After northern Kingdom of Israel was conquered by [[Assyria]] at {{circa|721&nbsp;BC}}, the ten tribes disappeared from the Biblical record.{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=101}}

According to British-Israel doctrine, [http://bible.oremus.org/?passage=2+esdras+13:39-13:46&version=nrsvae 2 Esdras 13:39–46] then records the history of the nation of Israel journeying over the [[Caucasus Mountains]], along the [[Black Sea]], to the [[Siret River|Ar Sereth]] tributary of the [[Danube]] in [[Romania]] ("But they formed this plan for themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the nations and go to a more distant region, where no human beings had ever lived. ... Through that region there was a long way to go, a journey of a year and a half; and that country is called Arzareth"). The tribes prospered, and eventually colonised other European countries. Israel's leading tribe, the [[Tribe of Dan]], is attributed with settling and naming many areas which are today distinguished by place names derived from its name – written ancient Hebrew contains no vowels, and hence "Dan" would be written as DN, but would be pronounced with an intermediate vowel dependent on the local dialect, meaning that ''Dan'', ''Den'', ''Din'', ''Don'', and ''Dun'' all have the same meaning. Various modern place names are said to derive from the name of this tribe:{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=101}}
* [[Macedonia (terminology)|Macedonia]] – Mace''don''ia – derived from Moeshe-don-ia (Moeshe being "the land of Moses")
* [[Danube]] – ''Dan''-ube, [[Dniester]] – ''Dn''-{{not a typo|iester}}, [[Dnieper]] – ''Dn''-ieper, [[Donetz]] – ''Don''-etz, [[Danzig]] – ''Dan''-zig, [[Don River (Russia)|Don]] – ''Don''

The following peoples and their analogous tribes are believed to be as follows:{{Sfn|Jessup|2006|p=170}}

While British Israelites believe that modern Jews are descended from the tribe of Judah, Christian Identitarians believe that the true lineal descendants of Judah are ''not'' contemporary Jews, but are instead the modern-day Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Germanic, Nordic, and kindred peoples.{{Sfn|Balleck|2018|p=68}}

Some followers claim that the Identity genealogy of the [[Davidic line]] can be traced to the royal rulers of Britain and [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]].{{Sfn|Aho|1990|pp=102–104}} Thus, Anglo-Saxons are the true [[Israelites]], God's chosen people who were given the divine right to rule the world until the [[Second Coming of Christ]].{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=101}}

Identity adherents reject the label "antisemitic" by stating that they cannot be antisemitic because the true [[Semitic people|Semites]] "today are the great White Christian nations of the [[western world]]", with modern Jews being considered the descendants of the [[Canaan#Canaanites|Canaanites]].{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=100}}
