An In-Depth Interview with Karen Anderson
✦ Introduction
Karen Anderson—author, researcher, and teacher—has spent decades deciphering ancient prophecy through a remarkable blend of Scripture, celestial signs, archaeology, and mystical texts like the Zohar. Her research links sacred geography, hidden scrolls, and the unfolding of end-time events across the Middle East.
In this in-depth interview, Karen speaks on the return of the lost tribes of Israel, the Gaza conflict, Vendyl Jones’s discoveries, and the cosmic design revealed in the stars—all converging in a divine blueprint of prophetic fulfillment.
✡️ Gilgal, the Lost Tribes, and the Coming War
Q: Karen, what’s new with your research?
Karen: I’ve been revisiting the prophecy about the return of the tribes of Israel, especially in light of the ongoing war around the Gaza Strip. One of the central pieces is Gilgal—a circular plain at the north end of the Dead Sea. It’s the only site large enough to host over 3 million people, just like in Joshua’s day. Vendyl Jones helped identify it through archaeological work guided by the Copper Scroll.
He also uncovered part of a broken “getter wall,” which once surrounded the Tabernacle encampment. That matches prophecy. The War Scroll (1QM) says the war begins when the “sons of light” return from the wilderness of the peoples. That’s the lost tribes, regathering at Gilgal.
Q: Who are these lost tribes, and how do they return?
Karen: After the Assyrian exile, the 10 northern tribes traveled over the Caucasus Mountains and became known as “Caucasians.” Many settled in Europe, Britain (Ephraim), and America (Manasseh). But they couldn’t return to Israel under Mosaic law without rejecting Christianity.
Vendyl worked around that by helping to establish the Noahide Council with the Sanhedrin in 2006. It allowed Christian nations to return under the Noahide covenant, maintaining their faith while fulfilling prophecy. Isaiah says, “Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will not vex Ephraim.” That’s happening now.
📍 Gaza, Isaiah 14, and the Prophetic Gate
Q: Why is the Gaza Strip so significant?
Karen: Gaza is ancient Philistia. Isaiah 14 addresses it directly: “Howl, O gate… thou whole Palestina art dissolved.” That’s not poetic—it’s precise. The Arab crossing into Gaza is the only true gate to Israel. Isaiah also says smoke will rise from the north and “none shall be alone in his appointed times,” which commentaries interpret as synchronized military movement. That’s exactly what we’re seeing.
Psalm 83 outlines the enemy confederacy—Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, Tyre, and others—coming against Israel. It’s the same coalition Vendyl mapped out using the War Scroll. The Gaza conflict is part of that alignment.
📜 The Copper Scroll, War Scroll, and Vendyl Jones
Q: Who was Vendyl Jones, and what did he find?
Karen: Vendyl was called the “Indiana Jones of the future.” In 1992, he uncovered over 900 pounds of sacred incense at a location matching the Copper Scroll. That alone is astonishing. He also identified Gilgal and found physical traces of the Tabernacle’s outer defenses. The War Scroll describes those elements—meaning they weren’t just spiritual metaphors, but part of a real encampment to be rebuilt.
He also explored the sealed cave system near the Dead Sea where Jeremiah, according to the Copper Scroll, hid the Ark of the Covenant. Vendyl believed it would only be revealed when “the water overflows the hiding place”—a line from prophecy.
Q: Did he believe we’re in the end times?
Karen: Yes. He believed we’re living in the 71st generation mentioned in the Scrolls, the time of final conflict. The War Scroll even names the weapons—gold-plated shields, swords with lamb-shaped hilts—once dismissed as symbolic. But Vendyl connected them to treasures hidden in Babylon, now modern Iraq. U.S. soldiers he spoke with confirmed missions tied to these relics. That’s why the enemy won’t destroy Israel—they’re after the spoil.
🌌 Revelation and the Temple in the Stars
Q: How do the heavens relate to prophecy?
Karen: “The heavens declare the glory of God” is literal. Bullinger’s Witness of the Stars shows how ancient constellations—from Babylon to Egypt to Israel—all tell the same gospel story. Virgo gives birth to a child. Orion—the Son of Man—walks through the celestial temple. The Pleiades (“dove”) signify resurrection. This is not astrology. It’s biblical astronomy.
Q: So Revelation’s temple is written in the stars?
Karen: Exactly. John says, “I saw the temple opened in heaven.” That’s not metaphor. The heavenly tabernacle is formed by constellations—Aries, Taurus, Orion. The Milky Way is the priest’s path. On Yom Kippur, the high priest walked this exact route symbolically. Even Jewish weddings mirror it—the bridegroom (Orion) steps from under the canopy (heavens), crushes the glass (“good constellation”), and defeats the enemy stars.
🕯 Zohar, Jacob’s Face, and the Earth That Speaks
Q: You often mention the Zohar. What role does it play in prophecy?
Karen: The Book of Concealed Mystery in the Zohar speaks of a sealed cavern beneath the earth, wrapped in darkness and sealed by God. That’s the foundation stone, beneath Gilgal—the lowest point on earth. It’s the pit from which Lucifer is cast down in Isaiah 14.
I once looked at a topographical map of Jerusalem flipped upside down—it resembled a man’s face. Isaiah 29 says: “Your turning of things upside down shall be as potter’s clay… the face of Jacob shall not wax pale.” That face is literal and prophetic. It’s encoded into the land.
Q: How does the earth “speak”?
Karen: Isaiah says a voice will speak like a ghost from the ground. Nehemiah’s gates match facial features—the Fountain Gate is the eye, the Dung Gate is the mouth. The Old Gate aligns with the Atlas vertebra—near Golgotha, the true site of crucifixion. The Dead Sea Scroll 4Q537 describes Jacob seeing this structure in a vision. The land is alive with memory and message.
⚔️ Belial, Lucifer, and the War in Heaven and Earth
Q: Who is the enemy in this final war?
Karen: The War Scroll names him—Belial. He’s not just a historical figure, but the embodiment of Lucifer, who appears in the sky as Draco, the celestial serpent—not Venus as many think. The final war is dual: earthly and heavenly. It says: “Our steps with their steps—a war of God and men.”
Even the stars will fight. Revelation 12 describes the woman (Virgo) and the dragon (Draco). This isn’t allegory—it’s cosmic reality. Just as in the days of Sisera, the stars will align in war.
Q: What about world powers—Russia, Syria, Hamas?
Karen: Ezekiel 38 speaks of the “chief prince of Rosh.” Many scholars connect this to Russia. Putin’s claims on Ukraine—ancient Meshech and Tubal—tie in. Syria and Damascus are key. When Damascus falls, it sets off a domino of nations. Assad—“the lion”—could still play a role.
Hamas and Hezbollah represent the Philistines and Tyrians. Their ships and rockets are modern versions of ancient foes. But prophecy says the ships of Tarshish—symbolic of the tribes returning—will arrive suddenly and turn the battle.
🕊 Final Thoughts
Q: Why should Christians, Jews, or Muslims care?
Karen: Because this war isn’t just about land. It’s about destiny. Isaiah’s message is to the drunkards of Ephraim and the leaders of Jerusalem. Jesus said, “Many are called, few are chosen.” The Scrolls say the chosen ones are not just those who hear—but those who return.
The foundation stone will shake. The earth will open. The battle will begin at Gilgal. But it will not be man’s battle—it will be God’s. That’s why this matters. It’s not symbolic. It’s happening now.
