   Actually, the point that was entirely clear to me   
   had to do with Tamar and the blood-line.   
      
   Those who recall that story might remember Tamar   
   as being the one who tricked Judah into being a father   
   which was the line of the so-called, Scepter, which   
   was to remain in that blood-line until Shiloh,   
   which, being interpreted, can mean   
   the end of the age.   
      
   Thus it is said, by those who say such things, all   
   of the kings, and queens, of Europe, trace their lineage   
   back to this divine right, given by Abe to his son, and   
   from thence to Jacob who gave it to Judah.   
      
   When Tamar had twins the story becomes interesting,   
   to those who are interested in such things. The first hand   
   was called the Red Hand and is that to which Ireland's   
   legends refer. The second was the one from which David   
   eventually emerged as being a monarch with butterflies.   
      
   For the reader still reading, after the united kingdom was   
   divided, after Solomon's time, and after the northern tribes   
   had been captivated by their incessant penchant to do   
   things that were not allowed by monotheism, and after   
   the southern tribe was finally captivated by their own   
   brand of not doing the right stuff, Jeremiah took the   
   surviving daughters of David's line to Ireland.   
      
   Thereby fulfilling the stars of the sky and Sun shining   
   and someone sitting on the throne over the house of   
   the northern tribes, who had long previous forgotten   
   whom they were, hence the name, Lost Sheep   
   of the House of the North (aka Israel) which is not   
   to be confused with the House of the South (Judah).   
      
   If Onan hadn't done what he did, Tamar would not have   
   done what she did. And that was the ENTIRE point   
   of the story of Onan.   
      
   Then, in next Chapter, the story continues   
   as it weaves the trail of Darda, of whom the Dardanelles   
   got its name, near the Bosporus, and how Troy found   
   it was founded by the same blood-line.   
      
   Then, some guy named Brt went from Troy to London   
   where there was no queen at the time to visit and   
   found there he founded a new town called New Troy.   
      
   Then, after the Sun never set on that empire, which   
   was after the world was divided by the Line of Demarcation,   
   which was about the same time as the promises to Abe   
   were fulfilled, the Lost Sheep having heard the Word   
   and all that, the Age of monotheism came to an end.   
      
   - the end -
