1. New Video Clip
Israelite Islands of Britain
Duration: 13.52 minutes
The Lost Ten Tribes are described as returning from the "Islands of the Seas" and other places (Isaiah 11:11). This is not just a geographical description but a recognized term applying to the British Isles where many of the Ten Tribes will indeed return from in the End Times. See: "Islands of Israelites. "Isles of the Sea" (Isaiah 11:11) Identified as the British Isles"

2. Edomites Take Control of British Israel World Federation
Edomites from Assyria and Phoenicia directed the resettlement of a portion of the Ten Tribes in the west. They also settled amongst them. They may be a minority but they are there and they are important.
If a select clique harp incessantly on the same subject in a way characteristic to Edomites, have Edomite characteristics,and seem obsessed with accusing the Jews of being Edomites, then we may be justified in suspected that they themselves are strongly tainted with the brush they are painting with.

To understand what the BIWF is about let us glance quickly at the latest two issues of its magazine, Covenant Nations, volume 3, nos, 6 and 7.
http://www.britishisrael.co.uk/covnations.php
Number 6, has an article by Rev Barrie Williams ("Victroy on Land") in which he implies that Britain entering World Wars 1 and 2 against Germany was a mistake.
Another article by Dr Peter Hammon ("Waterloo 200") depicts the victory of Wellington over Napoleon on June 15, 1815. The British were helped by their Prussian allies.
The outcome is described as "a victory for Protestant Britain and Germany against Catholic France". "a great victory for God's Covenant Nations".
Alloyd-Jones identifies the Kingdom of Israel with the Church meaning presumably Protestantism in general.
Then the "Editorial Team" on page 22 present us with what seems to be an excerpt from the writings of some lady.
["You shall not allow a witch to live", Exodus 22:18]
This is headed "The Name Jew" and (judging by the links provided) seems to be claiming that the Christian Messiah was not Jewish, or that the Jews are not Jewish but he was, or something like that.
Then there are 10 books advertised. One seems to be a Conspiracy piece. Another is anti-Jewish and mendacious but the others appear innocuous enough.
Number 7
This issue is more positive. They actually have a quotation from Winston Churchill concerning the WW2 struggle against Nazism.
The other articles are mostly regular Christian devotional pieces.
Jory Story Brooks resurrects 19th century Germanic Aryan racism based on spurious linguistics tracing the Northern Europeans to somewhere east of the Caucasus.
He then grafts this Aryan roots doctrine into the British Israelite one.
Books advertised are the same as issue no 6.
They seem at pains to emphasize that though they claim to be descended from Israel they are not related to the present-day Jews.
Fair enough.
They very seldom really produce any proof of being descended from Israelites but rather satisfy themselves with occasional declarations.
You do not have to be a descendant of Israel.
You do not have to be related to the Jewish People.
But you cannot have one without the other.

3. Message for Succoth 5776 (adapted from previous years).
From September 27, 2015 in the evening to sunset 5th October is the Feast of Succoth in Israel. This lasts for seven days and one additional day for Shemini Atseret [Pentecost]. The first day is a feast day. The day after Succoth is also a Feast Day. Altogether then we may say there are eight days with a festival at the beginning and another at the end. The six days in between the two Festivals are ordinary days but have an elevated festive status.
During this time we shall not be working most of the time though on some days we may meet up with people or answer part of the mail.
In Israel many people do not work throughout Succoth. Most shops and government offices are open for only half a day. Cafes, restaurants, hotels, synagogues all often have their own Sucoth. People build Succoth on their verandas and in their backyards and sometimes even on the pavement outside their houses!
Religious Jews during Succoth eat and in many cases also sleep in Succoth. A Succah in principle consists of at least two whole walls and one partial one and a roof of vegetation. In practice one will find all kinds of walls being used. There are Succoth that fit perfectly all the optimum most stringent requirements and there are Succoth that are really only "Kosher" in a de facto sense when there is no alternative. The roof of a Succah should be made of vegetable matter and should provide plenty of shade. In Israel many people use palm leaves for the roof. Palm leaves are attractive, clean, heavy enough not to be blown away by the wind and they provide plenty of shade. They are also long and convenient so that not a great number are needed. Instead of palm leaves other people use sugar cane matted together or sticks. Ordinary tree branches are also used. In Israel many local councils use the occasion to prune back trees in the public domain. It is the practice for workers of the local council to cut away the excess branches of all the trees in the neighborhood and then leave them in piles on street corners for the local inhabitants to take and use them for the roofs of their Succah.
The commandment to live in the Succoth only applies to the males but in practice the whole family usually eats together in the Succah.
Succot is a Festive happy occasion. In the Biblical Period it was harvest time. Many Jews will tell you that this is their favorite Feast. It is a time for the family to be together and taste something of outdoor living while not necessarily having to go outdoors.
In Biblical Times during Succoth there was ceremonial drawing up of the water from a spring near the Temple Mount. This was a very happy occasion and in memory of it throughout Israel one will find religious bands giving free concerts in the local squares and public places.
In the KJV the word Sukkah is translated as "booth".
The Feast of Succoth is called THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES [Leviticus 23:33-43].
The Bible says that we are commanded to keep the Feast of Succoth to remember the temporary dwelling we dwelt in when we came out of Egypt. Commentators add that an additional reason could be to tell us that everything in this world is temporary.
Traditionally the Book of "Kohelet" (Book of Ecclesiastes) is read during Succoth.
When the Ten Tribes separated from Judah, their king Jeroboam the son of Nebat, re-instituted the feast of Succoth using a different date [1-Kings 12:32].
Succoth begins on the 15th day of the seventh month. Jeroboam instituted a different festival on the 15th day of the eighth month.
Even today Christians who believe they are descended from the Ten tribes often attempt to make their own changes tot he Hebrew Valendar.
A Midrash says that Israel was exiled because they rejected the God of Israel, they did not want the Temple, and they despised the House of David. The Midrash quotes verses that refer to the Ten Tribes. The Ten Tribes were exiled and lost their identity. They lost awareness of their Hebrew ancestry. They became the Lost Ten Tribes. The Midrash says that Israel [meaning in this case the Ten Tribes] will be redeemed when they return and seek that which they rejected: The God of Israel, the Temple, and the House of David.
The Midrash then goes on to quote from Ezekiel chapter 37 that speaks of the return of the Ten Tribes and their re-unification with Judah meaning the present-day Jews.
Succoth is a Happy time and a time for the family.
This is an important point God wants you to do well and to be happy and to have a family. Not everyone achieves this but those who do should appreciate it. They who lack it should strive to gain it. This is the will of the Almighty. Do good and good will come unto you. This is the message of Succoth.
