Jezreelites

or the NEW AND LATTER HOUSE OF ISRAEL, a religious sect founded in England by a private soldier James White (1840- 1885), who adopted the name of James Jershom Jezreel, and professed to be a messenger from God, whose revelations to him are recorded in "The Flying Roll." Christ, they believed, by His death, redeemed only souls, and those souls who have lived since Moses.

For the salvation of the soul belief in the Gospel was sufficient; the body must be saved by belief in the Law. After the death of Queen Esther, Jezreel's widow, in 1888, the sect died out.
