Actually, there was no ancient nation state of Israel but rather the ancient Semitic peoples who were identified by a family of languages that included Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic and other ancient languages such as Phoenician and Akkadian. The Union Jack symbolically comes from Union of Jacob, who was the father of the 12 Tribes of Israel (well 13 to be precise), identifying Israel-Jacob today and are claimed to be the only true Jews. The Union Jack is a combination of three separate flags using the symbols from the patron saints of three different regions or countries which are Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales. Scotland is represented by St. Andrew's cross. ![3cfb334960e277e19e6d491890a89c00--outdoor-flags-scotland.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXwjs8TBCRCVxxjvK3sJ6kPCtWJqpNtHH1cDGZyF4ubEJ/3cfb334960e277e19e6d491890a89c00--outdoor-flags-scotland.jpg) Firstly there was The Abrahamic Covenant: With his hands crossed, Jacob passed on the blessings of national greatness to Ephraim and Mannasseh.
