"The Prophet of the Hebrews the Prince of Peace conducting the Jews to the Promised Land" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. James Gillray (1756–1815) was a leading caricaturist and printmaker of the Georgian era, known for his sharp wit and political commentary, which he conveyed through his art. This particular work is a testament to Gillray's ability to intertwine biblical allegory with contemporary political events, a common practice in his oeuvre.

The print depicts William Pitt the Younger, who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain, as a messianic figure leading a group of Jewish people towards the "Promised Land," which in this context is a metaphor for political or social ideals that Pitt was advocating for at the time. The image is rich with symbolism and reflects Gillray's critical perspective on the political landscape of his day, as well as his skill in using religious iconography to comment on secular matters.

The artwork serves as a historical document, capturing the political sentiments and cultural attitudes of the period. It is an example of how art can be used to influence public opinion and participate in the political discourse. As with many of Gillray's works, this print would have been circulated among the educated and politically aware members of society, contributing to the public debate through visual means.

The print is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in the context of studying the history of political satire and the role of caricature in shaping public perception of political figures and events. As a significant piece by James Gillray, "The Prophet of the Hebrews the Prince of Peace conducting the Jews to the Promised Land" continues to be of interest to historians, art enthusiasts, and students of political satire.
