Yair - excellent response to the letter on Jerusalem News 636 re: conspiracies. Seems like a lot of Sabbath Keepers (non-Jew) and charismatic believers in the US get all caught up in them, especially in re: things against our government. i have long thought these to be a ploy of the adversary to get people's minds off what they should be concentrating on, i.e. Abba [Father]'s Word, instruction and following those instructions.

2. Megaliths: Velikovsky and Calendar Change
As you should remember Jeremiah predicted that the Migratory Path of Lost Israelites to the west
would be reconstructed by their descendants using the evidence of Megalithic monuments.
This path exists.
http://britam.org/Jeremiah/Jeremiah29to32.html
[Jeremiah 31:21] SET THEE UP WAYMARKS [Megalithic Monuments], MAKE THEE HIGH HEAPS [Cairns etc]: SET THINE HEART TOWARD THE HIGHWAY, EVEN THE WAY WHICH THOU WENTEST: TURN AGAIN, O VIRGIN OF ISRAEL, TURN AGAIN TO THESE THY CITIES.
http://www.britam.org/Proof/Attributes/roleDolmen.html
The conventional dating of these monuments does not allow them to be associated with the Lost Ten Tribes who came much later.
There is archaeological evidence proving the conventional dating to be wrong.
In addition, the Megalithic Monuments are aligned in accordance with the present solar calendar.
This calendar has only been valid according to Immanuel Velikovsky since 700 BCE.
If Velikovsky is correct this proves that the megalithic monuments were set up when Brit-Am says they were..
The URL below criticize Velikovsky but to our mind is not convincing.
http://hbar.phys.msu.ru/gorm/fomenko/newtvelk.htm
From our perspective, there are two aspects to the arguments of Velikovsky:
a. The change in the length of the year around 700 BCE.
b. What caused this change and the events accompanying it.
We are interested in whether the change in the length of year (i.e. no.a) took place.
Everything else is subsidiary tot his question but it is to be expected that the arguments of Velikovsky
will be discounted on other counts, i.e. no.b
The URL below appears to be UNRELIABLE concerning the Hebrew calendar and relies on
conventional references. Nevertheless it is useful for an overall historical view
and a summary of Velikovsky
http://www.cogeternal.org/text/004hebrewcalreliable.htm
A look at the various ancient civilizations reveals the following, as outlined by Immanuel Velikovsky in a work well-footnoted and entitled Worlds in Collision: The old Babylonian year was composed of 360 days, a fact which was understood by scholars even before the cuneiform script was deciphered. The old Babylonian year consisted of twelve months of thirty days each. The Assyrian year consisted of 360 days; a decade consisted of 3,600 days. Assyrian documents refer to months of thirty days, counted from crescent to crescent. The ancient Persian year was made up of 360 days of twelve months of thirty days each. The Egyptian year was made up of 360 days before it was changed to 365 by the addition of five days. The calendar of the Eber Papyrus, a document of the New Kingdom, has a year of twelve months with thirty days each. The new moon festivals were very important in the days of the Eighteenth Dynasty, observed at thirty day intervals. There is a statement found as a gloss on a manuscript of Timaeus that the calendar of a solar year of 360 days was introduced by the Hyksos after the fall of the Middle Kingdom. The Book of Sothis, erroneously credited to the Egyptian priest Manetho, as well as Georgius Syncellus, the Byzantine chronologist, both maintain that originally the additional five days did not follow the 360 days of the calendar but were introduced at a later time. The Mayan year consisted of 360 days; later five days were added, and every fourth year another day was added. In ancient South America the year consisted of 360 days, divided into twelve months. In China the year consisted of 360 days divided into twelve months of thirty days each. When the year changed from 360 to 3653, the Chinese added five and one-quarter days to their year. Plutarch wrote that in the time of Romulus, the Roman year was made up of 360 days only, and various Latin authors say the ancient month was thirty days in length (Velikovsky, pp. 124, 332?340).
Numerous evidences are preserved, Velikovsky tells us, which prove that prior to the year of 3653 days the year was only 360 days long. The texts of the Veda period, for example, refer to a year of 360 days. Passages of the length of the year are found in all the Brahmanas. The Vedas nowhere mention an intercalary period while repeatedly stating that the year consisted of 360 days. There is no mention of the five or six days associated with the solar year. This Hindu year was divided into twelve months with thirty days each. In their astronomical works, the Brahmans used very ingenious geometric methods and their failure to discern that the year of 360 days was five and one-quarter days short seems baffling. In all their historical computations Hindu chronology utilized a month of thirty days and a year of 360 days. All over the world we find at some time the calendar of 360 days, and that at some later time, about the seventh century before the present era, five days were added to the end of the year (Velikovsky, pp. 330?331, 341).
In the seventh or eighth centuries bc five additional days were added to the year under conditions which caused them to be regarded as unfavorable. From about the seventh century bc, the length of the Hindu year became 365? days, even though the older system was not discarded. The reason for the worldwide identity of time reckoning between the fifteenth and eighth centuries bc was due to the movement of the Earth along its orbit, and the revolutions of the moon during that historical period. The length of the lunar month must have been exactly thirty days and the length of the year apparently did not vary more than a few hours from 360 days. Then something happened. A series of catastrophes occurred that changed both the axis and orbit of both the Earth and the moon as well as the length of the ancient year. As a result of repeated disturbances, the Earth changed from an orbit of 360 days to one of 3653 days and the month changed from thirty days to twenty-nine and one-half (Velikovsky, pp. 338, 332, 342).

3. Biblical Significance of Calendar Change.
Q. Does the idea that the length of the year has changed
affect our relationship to the Hebrew Calendar?
Answer: No. The Elders were commanded to so arrange the Calendar every year so
that the feast of Passover would fall in the Springtime.
[Deuteronomy 16:1] OBSERVE THE MONTH OF ABIB, AND KEEP THE PASSOVER UNTO THE LORD THY GOD: FORÂ IN THE MONTH OF ABIB THE LORD THY GOD BROUGHT THEE FORTH OUT OF EGYPT BY NIGHT.
<<ABIB>: In Hebrew ABIB (pronounced "Aviv") means "springtime".
They had to keep the Passover in the Springtime.
Springtime is determined by the sun , i.e. by the solar
calendar.
Months were determined by the moon by the lunar calendar.
The solar and lunar calendars overlap but do not coincide.
In order to make the two coincide the lunar calendar had to be regularly "juggled" with.
The Date of each New Month was fixed by witnesses who had seen the New Moon
and came to testify before the Sages.
The Sages could put off accepting this testimony for a day if they thought it necessary.
If there was a chance of Passover not coinciding with Springtime an extra day
could be added to some of the months and when necessary an extra month to the year.
This was all done in accordance with astronomical observations of great accuracy.
[A similar or identical system was employed by the Druids in Britain and Ireland].
After the Jews were exiled from the Land of Israel in the time of the Romans
it was no longer feasible due to persecution and harassment for the necessary consultations to be made on an ongoing basis.
A permanent calendar that determined the length of each year in advance was necessary.
The Calendar was henceforth therefore to be determined by mathematical calculations
that were intended to be valid until such time as a recognized authority (such as a Sanhedrin)
should decide otherwise.
In other words up until the time of the Later Roman Empire the Hebrew Calendar
The accuracy of the present Hebrew Calendar may be seen from the following example:
The Hebrew Calendar says that the average length of a lunar month is:
29.530590 days.
Care Sagan the chief scientist of NASA computed the average length of a lunar month as
29.530588 days.
A German study (Loudolt Boernstein Group, vol.1 2.2.4, 1965) put it at: 29.530589
the difference between this later calculation and the Hebrew one being   0.000001 days.
(source: Zamir Cohen).
More refined calculations may yet show the one of the Hebrew Calendar to be the most reliable.
Nevertheless, some people for religious or ideological reasons do not accept the present Hebrew Calendar.
It is not our task or desire to argue with them.
We are just saying that from a Biblical and Jewish point of view there is nothing the matter with considering the
possibility that the length of the year has changed.

5. King Hezekiah: The event
King Hezekiah reigned over Judah after most of the Ten Tribes had been exiled
with a remnant being taken away during his reign.
The conventional dates given for the reign of King Hezekiah
are 726-697 BCE.
The Bible tells us how King Hezekiah was sick, prayed and was promised an extra fifteen years of life.
As a sign that the Almighty would intervene to lengthen his life the shadow on the "ma-alot" (steps
translated as "sun dial") went backwards ten degrees.
2-Kings 20:8-11
Isaiah 38:4-9
http://britam.org/isaiah/chap-thirty-eight.html
[Isaiah 38:4] THEN CAME THE WORD OF THE LORD TO ISAIAH, SAYING,
 [Isaiah 38:5] GO, AND SAY TO HEZEKIAH, THUS SAITH THE LORD, THE GOD OF DAVID THY FATHER, I HAVE HEARD THY PRAYER, I HAVE SEEN THY TEARS: BEHOLD, I WILL ADD UNTO THY DAYS FIFTEEN YEARS.
 [Isaiah 38:6] AND I WILL DELIVER THEE AND THIS CITY OUT OF THE HAND OF THE KING OF ASSYRIA: AND I WILL DEFEND THIS CITY.
 [Isaiah 38:7] AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO THEE FROM THE LORD, THAT THE LORD WILL DO THIS THING THAT HE HATH SPOKEN;
 [Isaiah 38:8] BEHOLD, I WILL BRING AGAIN THE SHADOW OF THE DEGREES, WHICH IS GONE DOWN IN THE SUN DIAL OF AHAZ, TEN DEGREES BACKWARD. SO THE SUN RETURNED TEN DEGREES, BY WHICH DEGREES IT WAS GONE DOWN.
From: "John Geiger"
solar aberrations and late 8th century BC history
 <<Thank you for posting your 16 Jun 2001 Orientalia 70:1 contribution
including the URL for Jeremy Goldberg's Biblica 80 (1999) 360-390 extensive
article: Two Assyrian Campaigns Against Hezekiah and Later Eigth Century
Biblical Chronology. I backed into this area several years ago pursuing
what could have made the shadows go backward for Hezekiah as reported in 2
Kings 20:8-11 and 2 Chronicles 32:24 and the possibility that it was related
to the third event Herodotus reported in book 2-142 wherein the Egyptian
priests had told him that in their history of human kings that the sun had
risen in the east twice and in the west twice.
<<A friend of mine in a book proposed a mechanism for this almost
incredible Herodotus reference which made sense and could explain the
backward moving shadow of Hezekiah and contended he that it occured in 701
BC and that this was the fifteenth reignal year of Hezekiah.
Quoting from his book:
"Assyro-Babylonian records recall that during the reign of Sargon
(722-705) there came into being a new world order, and then another one in
the days of Sennacherib (705-681) Winchler, Forschungen, III:300."
<<And evidently from the TRACTATE SANHEDRIN (96a) on the day King
Ahaz of Judah was buried in 714BC, the day was quickened.
This friend also thinks there was another change to the sun's
passage in 687 BC which he also links to the final battle of Troy because of
a quote in the Odyssey of Homer which seems to indicate that Odysseus was
confussed by an unpredictable sun. Quoting from THE ODYSSEY OF HOMER
(Harvard Classics vol 22 p 141 1909)
"Hear my words, my fellows, despite your evil case. My friends, lo,
now we know not where is the place of darkness or of dawning, nor where the
Sun, that gives light to men, goes beneath the earth, nor where he (it)
rises; therefore let us advise us speedily if any counsel yet may be: as for
me, I deem there is none."

And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

5. Corrections to Solar Calendar Implications
re "Brit-Am Now"-929
#6. King Hezekiah and the Sun-dial: The Solar Calendar Implications
We all have our weaknesses.
The Book of Proverbs suggests that with age can come wisdom.
That may be so but I usually prefer avoiding situations that reveal my progress
in chronological terminology.
Unfortunately recent lapses in basic arithmetic leave "getting old"
the most convenient excuse available as well as the most acceptable.
But how many of you even noticed?
Any way here are the sums again in corrected form:
Brit-Am Understanding.
Concentrating only on Hezekiah (2-Kings 20:8-11, Isaiah 38:4-9)
and the implications of the degrees going backwards.
I understand that the day from dawn to dusk was divided into 12.
This is regardless of shadow lengthening or shortening.
When the tenth hour arrived it went back to being dawn,
e.g. if the sun rises at 0600 and sets at 1800, the time was 1600
but the dial went backwards and showed it as being 0600.
This is consistent with some sudden event such as a comet colliding with the earth and throwing the orbit of the earth out of its path to which it never returned. This was suggested by Velikovsky and others.
The result was a lengthening of the solar year being lengthened, i.e. time was added onto it.
according to our understanding 10/24 ths of a day were added onto that day (i.e. almost 42 per cent)
or 25 sixtieths.
If the year was previously 360 days long and then became ca.365.25
it was lengthened by a bit less than one sixtieth.
The earth suddenly moved from a previous slightly shorter orbit to the present one.

4. Dafydd Cotter: 360 Degrees and an Ancient Calendar of 360 Days
From: Dafydd <dafydd@iinet.net.au>
Subject: Regading recent discussions -
Shallom Yair,
Regarding the calendar change from 360 days to the present 365/6 days, there
are other proofs regarding this change. I read in one of Velikovsky's books
(can't recall which one, it was some years ago), there is a star map painted
on the ceiling of a chamber in the great pyramid at Cheops which is at total
variance to the star map visible in the Egyptian skies these days. This
indicates that the earth has undergone a major realignment in realtion to
our cosmic neighbours - within OUR historic period.
Another proof is the number of degrees in a circle. We accept that a circle
consists of 360 degrees, and this is universally accepted. Why do we accept
360 degrees?, why not 365.25, why not some other figure? Obviously, this is
tied in with the ancient calendar of 360 days for the earth's full cycle
around the sun (i.e., one degree = one day on HaShem's calendar).
I have always believed that the megaliths were build after a "major event"
which caused the realignment, as they reflect our present position in
relation to our solar neighbours (summer and winter solstice at Stonehenge,
etc., and, probably, many other similar examples). If these megaliths were
built prior to the event which resulted in the calendar change, they would
be just a pile of rocks serving no apparent purpose on the plains of western
Europe.
I would also like to pass on my thanks to your correspondent Cam Rea for his
article on the re-settlement and revolt of the northern (Hebrew) tribes and
their Assyrian conquerers, which was some issues back now.
My best wishes,
Dafydd Cotter

1. "The Green Revolution": Another Blessing from Joseph?
"The Green Revolution" refers to improvements in agricultural methods and crops
in the 1950s and 1960s that saved millions of people from starvation.
"The Green Revolution" was an American initiative with American money methodology and
expertise. Millions of Asians today are alive because of it.
It is often forgotten but should not be since historically it was very important and to our mind reflects another aspect
of the blessing Joseph has brought to the world.
Green Revolution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution
Extracts:
The Green Revolution is a term used to describe the worldwide transformation of agriculture that led to significant increases in agricultural production between the 1940s and 1960s. This transformation occurred as the result of programs of agricultural research, extension, and infrastructural development, instigated and largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, along with the Ford Foundation and other major agencies.[1] The Green Revolution in agriculture helped food production to keep pace with worldwide population growth.
The term 'Green Revolution' was first used in 1968 by former USAID director William Gaud, who noted the spread of the new technologies and said, "These and other developments in the field of agriculture contain the makings of a new revolution. It is not a violent Red Revolution like that of the Soviets, nor is it a White Revolution like that of the Shah of Iran. I call it the Green Revolution."[2]
The Green Revolution has had major social and ecological impacts, which have drawn intense praise and equally intense criticism.
..By the late 1970s, the Green Revolution raised rice yields in India by 30 percent and bought India the vital time to curb its population growth without suffering a recurrence of the devastating famines of the 1940s. [5]
The Rockefeller and Ford Foundation jointly established IRRI (The International Rice Research Institute) in the Philippines in 1960. HYVs (high yielding varieties) spread throughout that country, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and other non-Soviet bloc countries throughout Latin American, Asia, and North Africa. USAID became involved in subsidizing rural infrastructure development and fertilizer shipments.
...Mexico became self-sufficient in wheat production by 1951 and began to export wheat thereafter. In 1900, the Mexican population was 13.6 million; by 2005, it had increased to 103.3 million.[5]
Cereal production more than doubled in developing nations between the years 1961 -1985.[8] Yields of rice, maize, and wheat increased steadily during that period.[9] The production increases can be attributed roughly equally to irrigation, fertilizer, and seed development, at least in the case of Asian rice.[10]
The production increases fostered by the Green Revolution are widely credited with having helped to avoid widespread famine, and it is often claimed that Green Revolution agriculture is responsible for feeding billions of people.[13]
The world population has grown by about four billion since the beginning of the Green Revolution and most believe that, without the Revolution, there would be greater famine and malnutrition than the UN presently documents (approximately 850 million people suffering from chronic malnutrition in 2005). The average person in the developing world consumes about 25% more calories per day now than before the Green Revolution.[20]

11. Theo Vennemann: Runes from Phoenicia?
"Brit-Am Now"-948
http://www.britam.org/now/948Now.html
3. Runes from Phoenicia?
The book "Scandinavian Secrets. The Hebrew Code of the Runes"
by Orjan Svensson
http://britam.org/orjanbook.html
traces the Runes of Scandinavia to Hebrew sources.
The Israelites used the same text as the Phoenicians.
In many ways what applies to one applies to the other.
A German Professor, Theo Vennemann (whom we have mentioned before)
is now reportedly arousing some interest in Europe with his statements that the
Phoenicians gave rise to Runic script.
An abstract from one of his articles is given below.
It is quite technical but worth noting if only to get the general idea.
www.winter-verlag-hd.de
The article from Prof. Theo Vennemann "Germanische Runen und
phoenizisches Alphabet" (Germanic runes and the phenician
alphabet) covers 60 pages in a small font and a pagesize of
6.10 x 8.67 inch.
The article is in German, but contains a short abstract in English.
Abstract:
The poblem of the origin of the Germanic runes
and the runic writing system is considered unsolved. Many
aspects of the runes are enigmatic even for the most widely
accepted thesis, that of the Latin origin of the runes.
The present article develops the thesis that runic writing
derives directly from the Phoenician writing system of the
Carthaginians who dominated the Atlantic coasts from the
fifth to the end of the third century, rather than via Greek,
Etruscan, or Latin. This thesis explains all the distinctive
properties of runic writing: the form of those runes for
which Latin offers no model; die acrophonic naming of the
runes with appellatives; various aspects of the order of
the older fudiark, especially the beginning with a rune
named *fehu 'cattle'; the frequent use of scriptura continue;
the omission of nasals before homorganic consonants; the
writing of geminates with single rather than double consonants.
Most importantly, the Phoenician thesis explains the
concentration of the oldest runic finds in the Scandinavian
regions between the German and the Baltic Seas rather than
close to die Roman Empire and answers the question of the
reasons for the extraordinarily early availabdity of an
alphabetic writing system of its own in northern Europe.

2. Boers of South Africa: predominantly German?
Is the following entry correst?
http://www.gnxp.com/MT2/archives/2002_08.html
[2] Names that start with de in South Africa are the legacy of the Huguenot colonists. I read once that the ancestors of the Afrikaners were about 1/4 Dutch, 1/4 French and 1/2 German (and yes, 5% non-white, whether Khoisan, Bantu or Asian). Though French and Dutch surnames remain, somehow the German one's disappeared. I suspect that the closeness of German and Dutch contributed to this, as the northern Germans that flocked to the Cape Colony were rather similar to the Protestants from the United Provinces in language, religion and physique. On the other hand, the French-speaking settlers were set off from their Germanic neighbors and resisted assimilation. On the issue of Germany, much of the Ostmark was settled after the assimilation of west Slavic and Baltic peoples (Wends and Prussians).

#2. Boers of South Africa: predominantly German?
There are still many families amongst the Afrikaner that reflects German
surnames like my own: Zentgraf. Our surname is traceable to early Catholic
records around 800 900CE and is just one example of a German surname in SA.
Our family history remains a very proud tradition and there are only 7
Zentgraf males in SA.
Many Afrikaner surnames just sound more "Dutch" than German, because we have
mainly adopted Afrikaans and not English as our mother tong in South Africa.
Maybe this is why people perceive us to be more Dutch or French than German.
I don't really know though, just some thoughts.

From: GAshley923@aol.com
_The Lineal Descent of the Royal Family of England_
(http://www.libraryireland.com/Pedigrees1/RoyalFamilyEngland.php)
In A.D. 498, Fergus Mor Mac Earca, in the twentieth year of the reign of his
father, Muredach, son of (Eugenius, or) Owen, son of Niall of the Nine
Hostages, with five more of his brothers, viz., another Fergus, two more named
Loarn, and two named Aongus (or neas), with a complete army, went into Scotland
to assist his grandfather Loarn, who was king of _Dalriada_
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FTKBJG?ie=UTF8&tag=booksulster-20&link_code=em1&camp=21234

780f8) , and who was much oppressed by his enemies the Picts, who were in
several battles and engagements vanquished and overcome by Fergus and his
party. Whereupon, on the king's death, which happened about the same time, the
said Fergus was unanimously elected and chosen king, as being of the Blood
Royal, by his mother; and the said Fergus was the first absolute king of Scotland,
of the Milesian Race: so the succession continued in his blood and lineage
ever since to this day."-- Four Masters.
According to the Scottish chroniclers, it was A.D. 424, that Fergus Mor Mac
Earca went from Ireland to Scotland. Before him, the Milesian kings in that
country were kings only of that part of it called "Dalriada," of which Loarn,
the grandfather of Fergus Mor Mac Earca (Mac Earca: Irish, son of Earca,
daughter of Loarn) was the last king (see Part IX., c. iv. under "The Genealogy
of the Kings of Dalriada").
