"Brit-Am Now"- 501
#3. The Great Population Question
http://www.britam.org/now/now501.html
Question:
"Peter Salemi (BIR)" <salem1@rogers.com wrote:
Hi mr yair davidy. I was wondering. This is one of the arguments
against
British-Israel. One web site writes,
Population Increase
"In Jacob's day, the patriarch was, at a very, very conservative
estimate, one man in a world population of at least 6,000,000. The world's
population in Jacob's day was probably a lot greater than that, but
for the purpose of this discussion we'll say Jacob was one in six million
people on earth. The present combined populations of the alleged
British-Israel nations: Britain (Ephraim), the USA (Manasseh), Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and western Europe (France
(Reuben) Denmark (Dan) Saxony (Isaac's sons) etc.) is about 1,000,000,000 (one
UK billion): which is approximately one sixth of the world's present
population of about 6,000,000,000 (six UK billion).
Now consider for a moment this astonishing fact. If the British Israel
theory were true, it would mean that Jacob's descendants somehow grew
from being one in six million to one in six! Statistically that is
impossible.
History provides no evidence whatsoever that the birth rate of other
nations (China, India, Africa etc.) virtually stood still whilst
Jacob's descendants (Britain, USA and western Europe) out-stripped them to
such an extent. If anything, history tells us the very opposite was true: the
population explosion occurred elsewhere (China, India and Africa); not
amongst the white races. In other words, statistically the theory
about Britain, the USA and western Europe being the Lost 10 Tribes of Israel
is a non-starter. It cannot be true.
 How do you respond to this? Thanks Peter
Answer:
Shalom,
Instead of asking: How can they be so many? One could well ask, Where
are the rest?
See our Biblical Proof below:
I do not know how many people existed in the time of Jacob.
I also do not know how many people should be descended from Israel
according to the Brit-Am scenario.
We said frequently that we believe the MAJORITY of the Lost Ten Tribes
to be found in certain areas but are not certain whether or not they form a majority in the said
regions though in some areas they may well do so and historically they were qualitatively determinative.
Demographics change.
At the time of the Roman Empire there were 3 to 4 million or more Jews
in the world and about an equal number of Chinese
and maybe 2 million people in the British Isles. Later in the "Dark
Ages" the population of Britain went down to
about a million and that of the Jews to even less than a million.
You can play around with statistics any way you want
but if the Jews representing 2 tribes had an equal population to China
at that time and today China has an estimated
1,284,303,705 (July 2002 est.) people then multiplying that number by 6
(6 by 2 = 12) to get twelve tribes you have more than enough numbers even according to a maximalist explanation.
This is what would have happened if all the other tribes had had the
same number of people as Judah and Benjamin
and if they had have increased at the same rate that the Chinese did.
Biblical Proofs no. 16: Large Numbers
Genesis 15:5, 22:17, 24:60, 32:12, Numbers 23:10, Isaiah 10:22, 24:16,
26:15 Hosea 1:10
It was prophesied that the Lost Ten Tribes would be extremely numerous
and numbers 100s of millions or more. We must therefore look for a group
of peoples related to each other who do have such numbers as well as
fulfilling all the other criteria given by the Bible.
Only the Brit-Am solution fulfills these conditions.
Abraham was promised that his seed would be extremely numerous.
[Genesis 15:5] AND HE BROUGHT HIM FORTH ABROAD, AND SAID, LOOK NOW
TOWARD HEAVEN, AND TELL THE STARS, IF THOU BE ABLE TO NUMBER THEM: AND HE SAID
UNTO HIM, SO SHALL THY SEED BE.
[Genesis 22:17] THAT IN BLESSING I WILL BLESS THEE, AND IN MULTIPLYING
I WILL MULTIPLY THY SEED AS THE STARS OF THE HEAVEN, AND AS THE SAND
WHICH IS UPON THE SEA SHORE; AND THY SEED SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF HIS
ENEMIES;
[Genesis 22:18] AND IN THY SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE
BLESSED; BECAUSE THOU HAST OBEYED MY VOICE.
Isaac married Rebecca who it was predicted would become the mother of
"alfei revava" or "thousands of ten thousands" (Genesis 24:60),
translated as "thousands of millions" by the King James.
[Genesis 24:60] AND THEY BLESSED REBEKAH, AND SAID UNTO HER, THOU ART
OUR SISTER, BE THOU THE MOTHER OF THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS, AND LET THY SEED
POSSESS THE GATE OF THOSE WHICH HATE THEM.
Isaac was to be the ancestor of innumerable descendants.
[Genesis 32:12] AND THOU SAIDST, I WILL SURELY DO THEE GOOD, AND MAKE
THY SEED AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, WHICH CANNOT BE NUMBERED FOR
MULTITUDE.
The Israelites will be so numerous that they cannot be counted:
[Numbers 23:10] WHO CAN COUNT THE DUST OF JACOB, AND THE NUMBER OF THE
FOURTH PART OF ISRAEL? LET ME DIE THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND LET
MY LAST END BE LIKE HIS!
The Lost Ten Tribes at the end times will number an enormous number of
people.
We saw how the Jews of Judah will be astounded at the numbers of Lost
Israelites who will return even though they were not previously known
to belong to Israel:
[Isaiah 49:21] THEN SHALT THOU SAY IN THINE HEART, WHO HATH BEGOTTEN ME
THESE, SEEING I HAVE LOST MY CHILDREN, AND AM DESOLATE, A CAPTIVE, AND
REMOVING TO AND FRO? AND WHO HATH BROUGHT UP THESE? BEHOLD, I WAS LEFT
ALONE; THESE, WHERE HAD THEY BEEN?
Isaiah predicted that in the Last days only a few would survive and
that disasters would occur:
[Isaiah 10:22] FOR THOUGH YOUR PEOPLE ISRAEL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA,
ONLY A REMNANT OF THEM WILL RETURN. DESTRUCTION IS DECREED, OVERFLOWING
WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.
<<BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA>>: Descendants of Israel will be
exceedingly numerous towards the end times.
Isaiah says that the nation will be increased greatly and
be removed unto the ends of the earth (Isaiah 24:16, 26:15) meaning the
geographical extremities of the world such as Britain, North America,
Scandinavia, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Hosea also said that the Children of Israel will be innumerable:
[Hosea 1:10] YET THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL BE AS THE
SAND OF THE SEA, WHICH CANNOT BE MEASURED NOR NUMBERED; AND IT SHALL COME TO
PASS, THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE NOT MY
PEOPLE, THERE IT SHALL BE SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.
When you take everything all together and consider who we belief the
Lost Ten Tribes to be today and their present numbers and compare them with
that which was prophesied:
Instead of asking: How can they be so many? One could well ask, Where
are the rest?
Brit-Am supporter, Colbert Brian, pointed out that an indicated number
concerning the Israelites in the future could have been Six Hundred Million
Males Plus Their Families!
[Deuteronomy 1:11] THE LORD GOD OF YOUR FATHERS MAKE YOU A THOUSAND
TIMES SO MANY MORE AS YE ARE, AND BLESS YOU, AS HE HATH PROMISED YOU!
At that time they numbered more than 600,000 males who
went out to war. A thousand times 600,000 makes 600 million males on to
which must be added females and children under the age of twenty and men over
the age of 60.
We have not yet necessarily reached these numbers but will do so in the
future.

2. Brit-Am Site the best for Celtic Israelites
"Brit-Am Now"-506
From: Scotty
Mr. Davidiy,
Great work! I am a Celtic Christian and just found your site. I have seen several other claims of the connection between the Celts and the Tribe of Dan. Your work is by far the greatest work I have seen on this issue. I look forward to continuing my studies of your works.
There is no question that you are doing G-d's work and one day we will all be in fellowship...
Blessings to you

"Brit-Am Now"-507
1. The Phoenicians in Portugal
Extracts
Tartessos [In Spain] were drawn to the magnificent shelter and exceptional navigational conditions which the Tagus estuary offered, founding Olissippo/Lisbon (Carthaginian Elissa/Dido), the capital of Portugal, and calling the colony 'Alis Ubbo' ("serene harbor"). Under their control it prospered for more than six centuries. Phoenician settlers were the Kynetes/Kynesians/Konii ('Kinahhu') <6> who populated the entire western coast of Iberia and centered themselves around the Algarve, Alentejo, and Beja (southern Portugal) <7>. The Kynetes/Cinesios penetrated into northern and central Portugal where cities like Conistorgis and Conimbriga (Coimbra) left traces of their name. They were highly civilized and "possessed a proper idiom and writing", being "very religious and [worshipful] of a single God (ELEL=ELIEL, "Elohim is God")...This can be confirmed by the inscription on the Heroun (stelae) of Ourique in the Museum of Evora. ...[On] another stone...is inscribed the proto-Hebraic word 'Siol' which refers to the [world] where the [departed go to] after death..
Carlos Castelo is a Portuguese epigraphist who has verified that Sudlusitanian/Kynetic is an archaic form of Hebrew (proto-Sinaitic) with a proto-Indo-European substratum that existed in Celtic Lusitanian ...The Gallaeci (their name was similar to Issacharite Igal; Num. 13: 7) of northwestern Spain (Galicia) and Portugal were said to have originated in Phoenician Cartagena <13> and another Portuguese Celtic tribe, the Saefes/Sefes/Sepes (Joseph, the name of Igal's father) <14>, overlapped them. ...
There's evidence aplenty of a Phoenician line of descent in Portugal:
"...the [Portuguese] boats...are long and narrow, with bright eyes painted on the pointed prows, highly suggestive of the Phoenicians from whom it is believed the people of Nazare are descended" <18>
...The fishermen of Nazare and Aveiro are traditionally of Phoenician descent. This can be seen today in the unusual and ancient design of their boats-soaring pointed bows with mystical symbols painted on" <19>

1. Australian Desert - Reversible?
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/01/27/australia.desert.reut/index.html
Study: Large fires created Australian desert
Extracts:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Settlers who came to Australia 50,000 years ago and set fires that burned off natural flora and fauna may have triggered a cataclysmic weather change that turned the country's interior into the dry desert it is today, U.S. and Australian researchers said on Tuesday. ...The Australian Monsoon now brings about 39 inches (one meter) of rain annually to the north coast as it moves south from Asia, but only about 13 inches (33 cm) of rain falls on the interior each year. Miller's study suggests that large fires could have altered the plant population enough to decrease the exchange of water vapor with the atmosphere, stopping clouds from forming. The researchers, working with John Magee of Australian National University in Canberra, used computerized global climate simulations to show that if there were some forest in the middle of Australia, it would lead to a monsoon with twice as much rain as the current pattern.

8. Picts and Vanes were Semitic
"Brit-Am Now"-518
2. Venneman: Semitic Linguistics in Northern Europe
below are only SHORTENED EXTRACTS of two examples from the above web site which contains much additional material
http://www.germanistik.uni-muenchen.de/theoretische_linguistik/vennemann.html#Pikten \Atlantiker in Nordwesteuropa: Pikten und Vanen Reference
"The Picts of Britannic prehistory and the Vanir of Germanic mythology contribute to the theory of an Atlantic, i.e. Hamito- Semitic origin of the Megalithic culture. ..This view is supported (1) by the Pictish name Nehton and its phonological correspondent Neptune, god of the sea and, identified with the Greek Poseidon, according to Plato founder of the Atlantic empires, (2) by the Old Gaelic word maqq 'son', which is otherwise only attested in Germanic, e.g. as Goth. magus 'son (of maternal lineage)', (3) by Pictish art and Northumbrian art which has been apparently influenced by it, both showing stylistic connections with the art of the Near East, and (4) by the tale of Tristan, the Pictish Drust, the Welsh Drystan son of Tallwch...
The Germanic Vanir are recognized not merely as fertility deities but as a fully functional family of gods and goddesses. Their maritime (Mediterranean) and Semitic origin is shown by a number of features, chief among them the following: (1) Njor r's residence N at n 'Ship-Town', (2) Freyr's ship Sk bla nir, (3) marriages between sisters and brothers such as Njor r's earlier marriage, (4) Freyja's and Freyr's incestual relationship (as insinuated by Loki), (5) Freyja's harnessed team of "cats" (i.e. lions), (6) the notion of dying gods (also on the sir side, where the most Vanir-like Baldr resembles the Semitic god Baal, both in function and in the form of his name), (7) Freyja's equivalence with the Babylonian goddess Itar and the Palestinian goddess Astarte as a goddess both of war and of love and sexual life, (8) the pig as an attribute both of Freyja and of Freyr. The military conflict and subsequent peace of the Vanir and the sir is assumed to echo the historical clash of Atlantic and pre-Germanic North Indo-European populations and cultures and thereby to reflect the Germanic ethnogenesis."

7. Were the Getae "Children of Moses"?
From: Robert JonesÂ
Subject: Moses and the Getae
Mr. Davidiy,
I found this interesting extract from Herodotus, and I wondered who you think these Getae are? Most of the other Gothic or Getae were in the east, north of the Jaxartes River at this time. So how did a tribe associated with this name get so far away from them and maintain the same name. Based on their belief in their immortality it sounds like this Thracian tribe is Hebrew, and Salmoxis sounds a lot like Moses. Could this tribe be a Levite clan/tribe that at one tribe was associated with Gad, Manasseh and Reuben and separated themselves after the fall of Assyria and then migrated to this area? ..... "Before he reached the Danube, the first people he subdued were the Getae, who believes that they never die. The Thracians of Salmydessus and those who live beyond Apollonia and Mesembria, know as the Scyrmiadae and Nipsaeans, surrendered without fighting; but the Getae, who are the most manly and law-abiding of the Thracians tribes, offered fierce resistance and were at once reduced to slavery. The belief of these people in their immortality takes the following form: they never really die, but every man, when he takes leave of this present life, goes to join Salmoxis, a divine being who is also called by some of them Gebeleizis. Every five years they choose one of their numbers by lot and send him to Salmoxis as a messenger, with instructions to ask him for whatever they may happen to want. To effect the dispatch, some of them with three javelins in their hands arrange themselves in a suitable position, while others take hold of the messenger by his hands and feet, and swing him up into the air in such a way as to make him fall on the upturned points of the javelins. If the man is killed, they take it as a sign that Salmoxis is in a favorable mood; if he escapes, they put it down as his own bad character, tell him what they think of him, and send another messenger instead. The instructions are given to the messenger while he is still alive. This same tribe of Thracians will, during a thunderstorm, shoot arrows up into the sky, and utter threats against the lord of the lightning and the thunder, because they recognize no god but their own� I think; however, that Salmoxis lived long before Pythagoras� time. In any case, whether there was once a man of that name, or whether he is a local god belonging to the Getae, that is enough of him." Thanks,
Rob Jones
Florida
Answer:
Thank you for the extract. The Getae eventually joined the Anglo-Saxon invasions of England. See our work "The Tribes". In the Triumph Prophecy magazine (of W. F. Dankenbring) there was once an interesting article equating "Salmoxis" (also known as 'Zalmoxis') with Moses.

10. North America is directly north and west of Jerusalem!
"Brit-Am Now"-525
#2. New Light on Brit-Am Biblical Proofs: Evidence from an unexpected (and unlikely) source
(c) The Extracts: America both North and West of Jerusalem and also at "End of the Earth"
http://www.gogumogog.com/html/mogogideletter_to_bush.html
""- For if the Torah considers the Land of Israel as being at the centre of the Earth, there are only two possibilities to determine the Earth's northern extremity. ""The circumference of the Earth is about 25,000 miles. We can ignore the spherical shape of the Earth and look at it as a flat pancake. Isreal is in the centre and the world extends 12,500 miles in each direction. Heading north from Israel we would consider the next 12,500 miles 'north' until we reach the point directly opposite Jerusalem. That point would be the northern end of the world. As Jerusalem is located on the 31st parallel north, this area would extend until the 31st parallel south, in the Pacific Ocean (near New Zealand). At that point we would be entering territory considered south of Jerusalem. In this scenario the entire United States would be considered 'north' of Jerusalem. ""Another, perhaps more logical possibility, is to consider each hemisphere independently. If the Land of Israel is in the centre of upper hemisphere we would consider 'north' for 6,250 miles. Amazingly the distance from Jerusalem until the city of Kodiak, Alaska on the southern end of the state is 6,247 miles! Thus from a Torah point of view, there is no question that the entire state of Alaska is indeed to be considered in the 'distant north' of Eretz Yisroel [The Land of Israel]. However, the question begs to be asked. Why are we designating either the entire U.S.A., or the State of Alaska as being north of Jerusalem and not west? Here we find another amazing phenomenon. Logic would dictate that in determining the relationship between two areas on a globe, we would set the direction based on the shortest distance. ""The distance between Jerusalem and northern Alaska (the furthest northern state of America) is practically identical to the distance between Jerusalem and eastern Main (the furthest eastern state of America). They are both 5,300 miles away! Hence from a physical perspective the U.S. is both north and west of Jerusalem.
(d) The Relevancy:
Relevance no.1 Northwest from the land of Israel
Isaiah says (49:8) that the exiled of Israel will be preserved and become 'a covenant of people' (in Hebrew a 'Brit-Am'), who will establish the world and inherit wasted heritages. They will use released prisoners to colonize these heritages (49:9), as the British did at first in North America and Australia. They shall return from the north and from the west, and from the land of Sinim. [Isaiah 49:12] BEHOLD, THESE SHALL COME FROM FAR: AND, LO, THESE FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE WEST; AND THESE FROM THE LAND OF SINIM. ""THE NORTH AND FROM THE WEST"": This presupposes North-West from the Land of Israel. We have seen (Biblical Proof no. 17) that they would return from the West. Other verses show they will come from the North. The main directions are north, northwest, and west. Australia (Sinim) is in the southeast.
Relevance no.2 North Country
Jeremiah 3:12 3:18 16:15 23:8 31:8 Isaiah 43:6
The Lost Ten Tribes will also return from the North which is a major center of theirs. Barry Fell claimed that the Phoenicians referred to North America as 'The Great North Land'. The Phoenicians at one stage included members of Ancient Israelite Tribes in their ranks.
[Jeremiah 3:12] GO AND PROCLAIM THESE WORDS TOWARD THE NORTH, AND SAY, RETURN, THOU BACKSLIDING ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD; AND I WILL NOT CAUSE MINE ANGER TO FALL UPON YOU: FOR I AM MERCIFUL, SAITH THE LORD, AND I WILL NOT KEEP ANGER FOR EVER. 'THE NORTH': Most of the Lost Ten Tribes are in the North when the Land of Israel is taken as the reference point. They are being called upon to repent.
[Jeremiah 3:18] IN THOSE DAYS THE HOUSE OF JUDAH SHALL WALK WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND THEY SHALL COME TOGETHER OUT OF THE LAND OF THE NORTH TO THE LAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN FOR AN INHERITANCE UNTO YOUR FATHERS.
The Midrash says:
#Behold thou art fair, my love, yea pleasant, also our bed is green (Song of Solomon 1;16).
# Israel says: Behold thou art fair, my love When you will take retribution from the worshippers of idols. Yea pleasant when you pay the reward of those who fear you. Also our bed: These are the Ten Tribes. [In Hebrew bed is 'eres' while ten is 'eser' and uses the same letters, as 'our bed' (erseynu) sounds like 'our ten' (esereynu).] They are those who were exiled beyond the Sambation River. The exiles of Judah and Benyamin [i.e. the present-day 'Jews'] are destined to go unto them and bring them back in order to merit with them the Messianic Era and life in the World-To-Come. This is as it says, 'In those days the house of Judah shall go unto the house of Israel and they shall come together out of the land of the north unto the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers' (Jeremiah 3;18).
-Yalkut Shimeoni, Song of Solomon 905.
The verse should be read according to the above as:
'THE HOUSE OF JUDAH SHALL GO UNTO [rather than 'WALK WITH'] THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL'. People from Judah and Benjamin (i.e. legal Jews) shall go unto the Lost Ten Tribes who are beyond the Sambation River. In our works ('Ephraim' and 'The Tribes') we explained that the Sambation River means Israelite Exiles who migrated to the west. The simple meaning is that Jews from Judah will go unto the Lost Tribes to bring them back. It could be said that the Jewish members of Brit-Am Israel is doing this to some degree. There is an additional explanation.
Captive Jews: Descendants of 'Lost Jews' or 'Captive Jews' are often the leaders (of Joseph) who are bringing their fellow Captive Jews as well as the Lost Tribes back to their source.
""BUT, THE LORD LIVETH, THAT BROUGHT UP THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM THE LAND OF THE NORTH, AND FROM ALL THE LANDS WHITHER HE HAD DRIVEN THEM: AND I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN INTO THEIR LAND THAT I GAVE UNTO THEIR FATHERS""[Jeremiah 16:15].
They will be mostly to the North of the Land of Israel but also in other places.
[Jeremiah 23:8] BUT, THE LORD LIVETH, WHICH BROUGHT UP AND WHICH LED THE SEED OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL OUT OF THE NORTH COUNTRY, AND FROM ALL COUNTRIES WHITHER I HAD DRIVEN THEM; AND THEY SHALL DWELL IN THEIR OWN LAND.
[Jeremiah 31:8] BEHOLD, I WILL BRING THEM FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY, AND GATHER THEM FROM THE COASTS OF THE EARTH, AND WITH THEM THE BLIND AND THE LAME, THE WOMAN WITH CHILD AND HER THAT TRAVAILETH WITH CHILD TOGETHER: A GREAT COMPANY SHALL RETURN THITHER.
""FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY"": Most of the Lost Ten Tribes will be in the North. They will travel by plane and ship so that even the infirm and travailing women will be able to come with them.
[Jeremiah 31:9] THEY SHALL COME WITH WEEPING, AND WITH SUPPLICATIONS WILL I LEAD THEM: I WILL CAUSE THEM TO WALK BY THE RIVERS OF WATERS IN A STRAIGHT WAY, WHEREIN THEY SHALL NOT STUMBLE: FOR I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN.
""I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN"": God will return and acknowledge the Lost Ten Tribes as His people alongside Judah. This will be known to all. The Lost Ten Tribes will no longer be 'lost'. At present they are 'Lost': Most of them are not aware of their true Israelite identity and this identity is not known to others.
[Jeremiah 31:10] HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD, O YE NATIONS, AND DECLARE IT IN THE ISLES AFAR OFF, AND SAY, HE THAT SCATTERED ISRAEL WILL GATHER HIM, AND KEEP HIM, AS A SHEPHERD DOTH HIS FLOCK.
[Jeremiah 31:11] FOR THE LORD HATH REDEEMED JACOB, AND RANSOMED HIM FROM THE HAND OF HIM THAT WAS STRONGER THAN HE.
Throughout Jeremiah chapter 31 notice the linkage of North Country, coasts of the earth, Israel, Ephraim, and "Isles afar off".
[Isaiah 43:6] I WILL SAY TO THE NORTH, GIVE UP; AND TO THE SOUTH, KEEP NOT BACK: BRING MY SONS FROM FAR, AND MY DAUGHTERS FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
Relevance no.3 The West.
The Lost Ten Tribes in the End Time will be mainly situated to the west of the Land of Israel The exiles would be taken to the west (Isaiah 24:14).
[Isaiah 24:14] THEY SHALL LIFT UP THEIR VOICE, THEY SHALL SING FOR THE MAJESTY OF THE LORD, THEY SHALL CRY ALOUD FROM THE SEA.
'FROM THE SEA': In Hebrew also meaning 'from the west'. The Aramaic and Commentators say it means the exiles will be in the west in the last Days. Then it goes on to speak of Britain. [Isaiah 24:15] WHEREFORE GLORIFY YE THE LORD IN THE FIRES, EVEN THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL IN THE ISLES OF THE SEA.
Britain, North America, and Australia
Isaiah says (49:8) that the exiled of Israel will be preserved and become 'a covenant of people (in Hebrew a 'Brit-Am'), who will establish the world and inherit wasted heritages. They will use released prisoners to colonize these heritages (49:9), as the British did at first in North America and Australia. They shall return from the north and from the west, and from the land of Sinim. [Isaiah 49:12] BEHOLD, THESE SHALL COME FROM FAR: AND, LO, THESE FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE WEST; AND THESE FROM THE LAND OF SINIM. Midrashim confirm that these verses are referring to the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.
The Exiles will return from the west (Hosea 11:10).
[Hosea 11:10] THEY SHALL WALK AFTER THE LORD: HE SHALL ROAR LIKE A LION: WHEN HE SHALL ROAR, THEN THE CHILDREN SHALL TREMBLE FROM THE WEST.
""THE CHILDREN SHALL TREMBLE FROM THE WEST"": Commentators (such as the Aramaic Translation) say that this refers to the exiles of Israel returning from the west. [Hosea 11:11] THEY SHALL TREMBLE AS A BIRD OUT OF EGYPT, AND AS A DOVE OUT OF THE LAND OF ASSYRIA: AND I WILL PLACE THEM IN THEIR HOUSES, SAITH THE LORD. ""A DOVE OUT OF THE LAND OF ASSYRIA"": 'These are the Ten Tribes' (Shir HaSHirim Rabah 1:63)
Relevance no.4 ENDS OF THE EARTH
Moses (Deuteronomy 33) prophesied concerning Joseph, (33;13): <> In this (and other) blessings Joseph was promised agricultural bounty, mineral resources, favorable climate; He was associated with a people being pushed together unto the ends of the earth. "Ends of the EARTH" when considered from the Land of Israel means the continents of America and Australia and the geographical extremities of South Africa and Northwest Europe. The very name of England ('Angleterre' in French) can be understood as meaning "Corner of the Land", i.e. Angle-Land, or "End of the Earth". The prophet Isaiah appears several times to have located the Lost Tribes of Israel in the "Ends of the Earth" e.g ""But thou Israel, my servant Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend...Whom I have strengthened (taken) from the ENDS OF THE EARTH and called thee from the CHIEF [i.e. best] parts hereof"" (Isaiah 41;8-9).
A similar reference to World's ends is found in another passage: <> (Isaiah 43;6). In this verse the Midrash (Sifrei, Haazinu 32:11) links north country with the return of the exiles and an eagle, the symbol of the USA: <> [Deuteronomy 32:11]. More on Ends of the Earth:
Most nations that contain a significant portion of Israelite descendants are situated at the "ends of the earth" as mentioned above (Deuteronomy 33:17 "afsei-aretz", Isaiah 41:9 "katsvot haaretz", Isaiah 43:6) meaning the geographical extremities as measured from Jerusalem. This is how it was prophesied. Most of the "ends of the earth" belong to Israel. North America, the British Isles, Northwest Europe, Scandinavia, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand may all be considered "ends of the earth" and in these areas most people of Israelite descent from the Ten Tribes are to be found.
ALSO in Isaiah 49:6 the Tribes of Jacob are expressly linked with the ends of the earth.
[Isaiah 49:6] AND HE SAID, IT IS A LIGHT THING THAT THOU SHOULDEST BE MY SERVANT TO RAISE UP THE TRIBES OF JACOB, AND TO RESTORE THE PRESERVED OF ISRAEL: I WILL ALSO GIVE THEE FOR A LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, THAT THOU MAYEST BE MY SALVATION UNTO THE END OF THE EARTH.
The whole of Isaiah 49 speaks of the Lost Ten Tribes as we have explained elsewhere and as confirmed by the Midrash.

Note from Bernard Burgey:
Regarding "Names and Genes" is a German study very interesting, They compared people with the name Schmied (=Smith ) with the People of the name Schneider (=Taylor) and found that over 70% of the Smith had more then 20% more muscle mass then the Taylors!
