1. "very interested in the information"
Shalom,
 ...I have read The Tribes book some time ago and was very intrigued by what you had written. I look
forward to reading the other books I have ordered. My husband and I are very interested in the information
you have compiled and we share it with others when the opportunity arises. Thank you so much for all
of the work you have done on this subject.It is very important.
God's Blessings for you and your work.
Sincerely,

2. Questions on "Bible Basics"Â re the Holy Name, Ruth, etc.

Yair,
Is this email written 'in Truth'?
The Ten Tribes were Exiled for Inventing their own Religious Beliefs!
Is this not true also for the two tribes who went astray, as in doctrines (though maybe not as bad as.)
She (Ruth) did this through the authority of Rabbinical decisions.
The rabbis sat at the gate? Or the elder leader of town...
Bible says that someone born of a Jewish mother is Jewish.
Really... which verse is are you quoting?
Then one question:
This explains their attempts to replace the Jews as the Chosen People
and their misuse of the name for their own deity.
Is this a hint to the usage of the Name Yahweh?
Do you have some articles about this, i am interesed.
Thank you,
John

Shalom,
You are quoting from the blurb advertising our new book,
"Bible Basics.Scripture, Israel, and the Oral Tradition" by Yair Davidiy
http://hebrewnations.com/publications/books/basics.html
http://www.britam.org/BibleBasics.html
The idea is that readers should be sufficiently intrigued and interested by the description to buy the book, not that I should have to answer questions about the points raised!
Nevertheless, a portion of our works are pre-adumbrated by articles on our web-sites. That is one of the explanations for our ability to have recently put out so many new works in such a relatively short time.
In preparing the books we take the articles, rewrite them, add information and insights to them, and show how one matter interlocks with another.Â
We also have preparations for other works we wrote in the past which we "cannibalize" when the subject matter is appropriate.
Selling the books helps spread our message which is what we exist for.
It also helps us keep body and soul together and keep going, researching and propagating the information and knowledge gained.
Anyway, very briefly in answer to your questions:
You asked concerning:
(a) Moral Turpitude of the TTs before their Exile.
(b) The legitimacy of Ruth and Rabbinical Authority.
(c) Birth from a Jewish Mother as the Deciding factor to being Jewish.
(d) Misuse and Abuse of the Holy Name by the Romans.
(a) 2-Kings chs. 17 and 18 and other sources, give the reasons as to why the Ten Tribes were exiled. They worshipped other gods, invented festivals, and attributed to God things that were not so.
Judah was perhaps just as bad, or in some ways worse, BUT God did not want to exile Judah and eventually the prophets and leaders got Judah back on track.
(b) Ruth was a Moabitess and according to the simple meaning of Scripture one could understand that it was forbidden to accept people from Moab as Israelites.
Deuteronomy 23 states:
A bastard must not enter God's marriage group. Even after the tenth generation, he may not enter God's marriage group. An Ammonite or Moabite may not enter God's marriage group. They may never enter God's marriage group, even after the tenth generation. This is because they did not greet you with bread and water when you were on the way out of Egypt, and also because they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to curse you.
The Rabbis explain that this particular prohibition did not apply to females. This is the Rabbinical Authority that legitimized King David and the future Messiah.
(c) Someone born of a Jewish mother is Jewish according to the Hebrew Bible when taken literally and analyzing the grammatical structure of the relevant verses.
See:
"Brit-Am Now"- 493
#4. Born of a Jewish Mother
http://britam.org/now/now493.html
(or buy "Bible basics" for a slightly more comprehensive answer).
re
(d) Misuses of the Holy Name, you should buy the book
BUT in short,
The chief Roman god was named Jupiter or alternately "Jove". The name "Jove" could be pronounced similarly to how at the popular level some peoples may have imagined the Y[the Holy Name] to be pronouncable. The Romans descended from Edom who worshipped their forefather Esau as well as the God of Israel in another form.
{The fact that the romans also worshipped a god under almost the same name, were regarded as Edomites by their contemporaries in Judah, and apparently accepted this identification, is additional proof confirming the their Edomite antecedents, at least in part.
In erecting a statue of Jove on the site of the Temple (which they destroyed) the Romans were saying that their version of god had replaced the God of Israel and they were now the Chosen People.

3. Cristian Sildan: Were Hesus and the Trinity due to Christian Roman Influence?
 RE: Brit-Am Now no. 2558
Brit-Am said:
#1. The BIWF and the Identification of Esau.
The article in question identified the Celtic god Esus with the Christian
messiah whom they consider to be God.
They were implying that the the ancient Druids in worshipping Esus
(Hesus) and a trinity had some kind of prophetic intuition foreshadowing
Christianity.
==============================
Christian says:
Peace Yair,
Well, on that I'm with Hoeh who says Hesus comes from Joshua (the one with
the Sun miracle).
As for the Celts having a trinity, I don't know...
History is quite murky concerning the non-metropolitan Greco-Romans and
non-Romans, so we don't know much with certainty.
Ginenthal was quite convincing when he proved that the megaliths were
post-Roman, so maybe a lot of Celtic tradition is post-Roman too and so it
has some Christian influence.
See:
CHRONOLOGY OF THE AGE OF STONEHENGE AND THE MEGALITHIC WORLD .
PILLARS OF THE PAST, Volume IV , by Charles Ginenthal (2012?).

All the best,
Cristian

Here is the offending passage under discussion:
# The gospel teaching meshed seamlessly with the Druidic belief in one God manifested in three aspects, including a coming restorer named Hesus or Yesu. In their plan and foresight of God, the Celts, as part of His servant nation, had been prepared beforehand by the Holy Spirit to accept Christianity, and to speak the name of the savior, even before he was born. #

4. Prophecy as a Series of Rehearsals

#4. The USA in Iraq: Foretold in Prophecy?
Extract:
This is a possibility. It may not happen in this way. Or it may be a
prelude, a rehearsal, or something else OR THE REAL THING.
At all events we can see now before our very eyes how events that the Bible
described could occur quite quickly in our time.
"Brit-Am Now"-346

#3. Question on Ezekiel 26 and Tyre
Extract:
In principle all prophecies have to be literally fulfilled but sometimes
the main point of the prophecy
is a general representative one.
All prophecies were intended in some way or other to be fulfilled in the
Last Days. The Prophets however lived
in their own time and had a physical-spiritual-psychic connection with
events of their own times and with what would happen as an outcome of those events.Â
They received the prophecies according to their own capacities and communicated them likewise.
e.g. They would speak of chariots and horses when the intention is to
automated vehicles.
Take Micah chapter five for instance. Micah lived some good time before the
exile of the Ten Tribes but the events and conditions leading up to the exile were tangible in his
lifetime and comprehensible to him.
Micah describes how the exiled Israelites would be captured subjects of the
Assyrians, then become allies of Assyria, then destroy Assyria and become the most powerful and most feared nation in
the world. This happened when the exiled Israelites identified as Scythians took over the Assyrian
Empire and then destroyed it.
We can use the prophecy of Micah to understand what happened concerning
the exiled Israelites.
Even so, the main point of the Prophecy was to describe the end times. The
whole thing about the Israelite Scythians and Assyria was meant as a pre-run, a rehearsal, a Prototype for what would be
in the future.
This explains how sometimes Prophecy can begin to describe something in
terms of what is historically comprehensible to us in terms of what did happen but then veer away and
describe events in ways that did not
occur, e.g. the passages concerning Cyrus in Isaiah fit the historical
king of Persia named Cyrus only to a certain degree. This king actually served as a model for a person or entity that
would become apparent in the end times

5. Paul Porter: Question on the Jubilee Cycle
re
Brit-Am Now no. 2558

#4. OvadYah Avrahami:Â In Reply to Paul Porter. The Return of Judah and Israel and the Jubilee Cycle
Dear Mr Davidiy,
May l take this opportunity to thank Ovad Yah Avrahami on sharing his insights of the matter pertaining to the apparent lack of references to WW1 and WW2 in Scripture. Given the enormous impact these two events had in relation to Israel, l was puzzled as to their apparent omission.
As a reader of world history,  l too, am aware of the events leading up to both wars and the significance each war had in the restoration of Israel as an independent nation. The period around the 1880's in British thinking amongst some of her scholars and politicians, working in tandem with the Jewish 'Zionist' movement helped to prepare the stage for the "Balfour Declaration ". The 'liberation' of the Holy Land by the British forces and her Allies after over four hundred years of Turkish Ottoman rule was, with certainty, a major milestone in the course of history.
With respect to Mr Abrahami's view of referencing Jubilee years using the correlation between the current Gregorian calendar. I am of the understanding that there is a ' dispute' amongst scholars regarding the true chronological path of the original Hebrew calendar. I must, at this point, reveal that l am not well versed in Hebrew. I rely on the knowledge of scholars versed in Hebrew to share their understanding of such data. I therefore read all such matters of Hebrew literature via the equivalent English translation.
If there is now a consensus of opinion regarding the truth of this matter amongst the Rabbis, I will be grateful for their insights.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Porter.

Shalom,
Obadiah Abrahami may answer you differently BUT the idea of Jubilees is only one onion among many though it is a distinct possibility and perhaps worth examining.
