1. Martin Lightfoot from British Israel: Impressions and Clarifications about Clarkes Biblical Prediction
Hi Yair
My wife and I very much enjoyed our evening with you in
Jerusalem last Tuesday.
Our BIWF, BIBTF and CPFÂ British Israel teaching is rightly
founded upon the writings and research of Wilson, Glover,
Hine, Gawler, Aldersmith, Hanan, Titcomb and many other
worthy predecessors all of whom respected the Jews as
representing much of Judah, Benjamin & Levi as recorded in
Ezra & Nehemiah.
My recent contact with the Chief Rabbis office in England
concurs that the Jews have never claimed to represent
descendants of the other tribes, who are in their view, yet
to be identified in the world. It therefore seems logical
that the settlement of the Jews in the Holy Land following
the remarkable events of 1917, and (50 year jubilee) 1967 is
in accord with the restoration predictions of scripture. The
principle in Judges 1 is 'Judah first'.
Guinness and Aldersmith (decades in advance)Â both
anticipated from Biblical time measures that 1917 would be
immensely significant for the Holy Land and Jerusalem.
As an ordained Methodist LP, I often use Methodist
theologian Adam Clarke's Commentary. As quoted in your
email, he makes the profoundly inspired comment on Daniel
8:14 in reference to Jerusalem and the 'cleansing of the
sanctuary':
"Unto two thousand and three hundred days - Though literally
it be two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings. Yet
I think the prophetic day should be understood here, as in
other parts of this prophet, and must signify so many years.
If we date these years from the vision of the he-goat,
(Alexander's invading Asia), this was AM. 3670, bc. 334;
and two thousand three hundred years from that time will
reach to ad. 1966, or one hundred and forty-one years from
the present AD.1825".
He failed to add one year crossing from BC to AD, had he
done so he would have pointed to 1967, the year in which the
Jews although very heavily outnumbered took Gaza, the West
Bank, Sinai & the whole city of Jerusalem in six days
(resting on the seventh). Anyone visiting Israel could not
dispute the massive 'clean up' operation particularly in
terms of infrastructure, that the Jews have undertaken at
great cost since 1967.
The reference by Clarke to the 1335 days fulfilment of
Daniel 12 terminating in 1947 is also, as you point out,
quite remarkable, though later commentators have observed
that 1917, the year of deliverance of the Holy Land
coincided with the year 1335 on the Moslem calender. A
deliverance executed by the Anglo Saxon Celtic nations whose
origins trace back to the last known geographical location
of Israel's ten tribes. 'Israel's grave the birthplace of
the Anglo Saxons', (to quote John Wilson).
These differing observations are not contradictory. They
serve to demonstrate that prophecies fulfilled in history
are not isolated events, rather an unfolding tapestry.
The Jews in the Holy Land are currently surrounded by
enemies and, in particular, faced with the unenviable task
of rooting out mafia style criminals who terrify and
intimidate the local population in Gaza and West Bank and
deliberately fire rockets across the border from schools,
hospitals and densely populated areas.
"Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by
reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not
yours, but God's". (2Chron 20:15)
We pray on.
Every blessing on all your good work.
Martin & Sue

2. A Non-Believer or Believes too Much!
New comment on your video
The Celts Called Themselves Hebrews!

Get off this victim mentality man. If you are chosen by the Creator then you are saved, elected. All that are chosen are the true Jews today. There is neither Jew nor Gentile if you are of the elect.

Hi Yair,
Do you have a similar updated list of questions for each tribe?

The video was quite comprehensive, anything this comprehensive (for self identification with a tribe) for all tribes on the Brit Am site?
Thanks,
Jamie

Jamie Shalom,
We have 74 video clips under their own Playlist
Tribal Identifications
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFBA7F5130DE64D45
None of them however deal with Personal Tribal Identification in the same way as we dealt with Benjamin.
We had intended to apply the same approach to each Tribes and perhaps we shall do that.

4. Orjan Svensson: In Defence of Odin!
Â
Shalom,
In a recent post you equated Odin with Edom. However, in an edition of your book "The Tribes" you wrote that you thought the name Odin could be related to the Hebrew root YaDa', meaning "to understand", "to know" etc, and I lean more towards this identification than towards the identification with Edom, although I agree that features of Edom likely also have been incorporated in the legends of Odin.
You also wrote that Odin had been equated with Dan. Odin was no doubt important in Denmark, as Odense still is one of the biggest cities in that country.
The meaning "to understand" and "to know" agrees with Odin being the god of knowledge and wisdom in Scandinavian mythology. He obtained his knowledge by sacrificing an eye in the well of Mimir. As I explained before I believe that Mimir is derived from the Hebrew Mayim, meaning "water".
Odin acted as a shaman, and on the page Shamanism - Norse Mythology for Smart People we read "Odin's shamanic spirit-journeys are well-documented. The Ynglinga Saga records that he would 'travel to distant lands on his own errands or those of others' while he appeared to others to be asleep or dead.[3] Another instance is recorded in the Eddic poem 'Baldur's Dreams,' where Odin rides Sleipnir, an eight-legged horse typical of northern Eurasian shamanism,[4] to the underworld to consult a dead seeress on behalf of his son."

Could this shamanic features of Odin be the reason why he was called also Woden, Wotan, or Wuotan? Because I recently discovered that Wu means "shaman" in Chinese! See Wu (shaman) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Â
Wu (shaman) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Devotional traditions:
However wu denoted a female shaman during the late Zhou Dynasty (1045-256 BCE). But perhaps it could have signified a male shaman as well during the early Zhou dynasty when lost Israelites and ancestors of Scandinavians may have sojourned close to China's borders. So maybe Wuotan means Dan the Shaman after all.
If Odin would be equal to Dan, then Odin's mother in Scandinavian mythology, Bestla, would be equal to Bilhah, Dan's mother. These names, Bestla and Bilhah, are not so disimilar. Further, Odin's father, Bor, would be equal to Jacob, and Bor's father Bure, would be equal to Isaac.
The names Bor and Bure maybe related to the BIRthright, since I read that "bur" meant son and was related to the word "born", but in the Internet I see that these names are believed to have other meanings.
However, the equation Dan - Odin has also the problem that Dan had one full brother, Naphtali, whereas Odin had two full brothers, Vile and Ve, who were also the sons of Bestla.
Odin also had several sons according to the legends, whereas Dan it seems like only had one son, Hushim.
But maybe Vile should be read Vi-le and considered a permutation of Levi, and Ve would equal Naphtali, so that Levi was considered a full brother of Dan and Naphtali in Scandinavian tradition?

Brit-Am Reply:
It was the way of pagan mythology for different deities to intermerge with each other, to switch identities, and to borrow each others names.
The Greek Zeus was identified with the Roman Jupiter and with the Canaanite Baal. Cronus (Saturn) the father and adversary of Zeus was also equated with Baal.
The Roman Jupiter was also known as Jove whose name is probably a form of the Hebrew Tetragammaton.
Odin (Woden) was considered the ancestor of most Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian royal lineages.
In Old Norse texts, Odin is depicted as one-eyed and long-bearded, frequently wielding a spear, Gungnir, and wearing a black or blue cloak and a broad hat.
Odin was a master of magic like Bilaam who was also one-eyed.
 Esau (Edom) was worshipped in Gaul and Germany. One of his permutations was Odin. This was a pagan deity who was worshipped and had his own cult and following.
The possibility that ODIN was a conflation of several ancestral figures with similar names or attributes exists. This was the norm for pagan religion.
An ancestor known as Dan was also revered. Dan may later have come to be considered an aspect of Odin.
Nevertheless the identification of Odin of Germany with Edom seems to be the most significant at the moment:
We have written on this in the past but our article on the matter may have been overlooked:
See:
 Esau in Germany. The German Edom
http://www.britam.org/Edom/EsauGermany.html
Extract:
The ancient native Germans called their god "Koz" and assimilated him to the originally Scandinavian and Anglo Saxon Woden. Josephus (Antiquities xv.7,9) asserts and archaeological inscriptions confirm that the national god of the small state of Edom to the south and east of Judah was called "Kiazo" or "Koz" (or Cas) also rendered as "Qa-us". A king of Edom in the 600s BCE was named "Kosgaber" i.e. "he-man" of Kos. This name is derived from a Middle Eastern form of Esau since the initial "ayin" transliterated as "E" (in Esau) can be pronounced with a hard sound. Esau (under the name of "Koz") was therefore the supreme god of many in Germany.
Woden or Odin however is a name given to several deities just as Odin himself had numerous names.
One of the forms of Odin is probably also another form of the name Edom. In Hebrew the two words are similar. Edom was also known as Esau and we see above that Odin was also named Koz and that "Koz" was another form for the name "Esau".
[Odin of Germany is not necessarily the same as the one-eyed Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon Odin whom we believe represented someone else.].
Odin in Germany was known as the great wild hunter. Esau was also known as a hunter.
The psychologist C. Jung was well in tune with what was happening in Germany and Austria in the years leading up to the Nazi era. He reported:
## It was not in Wotan's nature to linger on and show signs of old age. . . . The "German" god is the god of the Germans.

5. Cecil Davis: USA in Moral Morass and Comments on the German Pilot who Crashed his Passenger Plane
Two points Yair,
1. re Brit-Am Now no. 2433. Lost Ten Tribes Studies
http://hebrewnations.com/features/10/2433.html
#1. New comments on YouTube video clips (c) USA in Moral Decline?
 Beaver Cleaver is correct in his comments about the USA of today. In fact it is far worse and nothing is being done about it by Jews or Christians.
BUT God will call out His people from among the satanic ones; countless Jews and Christians will be coming to Israel and not only from the USA.
From the United States many will be returning to their mother Countries or one of their choice (already being done by thousands of rich Americans);
due to the chaos that evil leaders and citizens have knowingly brought upon a Country previously blessed by God beyond measure.
2. Regarding the intentional crashing and murdering of those in the German Airline. In my 47 years of military and commercial flying
I never left the cockpit to do anything, neither did the pilot flying with me, even though many missions were eight to ten hours without landing.
We had a relief tube to urinate in and never had to defecate. All this because we ate sensible food and drank water 24 hours prior to our flight,
knowing the results of eating gas producing food or drinking anything alcohol or carbonated. I did not find it necessary to relieve myself on any flight.
We didn't sit drinking and eating in flight as the Airline pilots do. The Airline pilots could argue that we military guys were under strict orders regarding flying regulations;
that they are under a pilot's Union. If the pilot Union is that dangerous then quit the Union! In my Commercial Corporation flying, I was the only pilot and no reason for a Union.
The answer is to install small sanitary potty toilets. Portable ones are available world over and can even be brought on board without some big overhaul.
The FAA and other Aviation Authorities should require Airline Manufacturers to permanently install approved and sanitary units. Pilots could remain with secured doors
and never leave their cockpit area.
There have been other Airline crashes due to pilots like this German; I wonder why FAA and worldwide Authorities have not thought of something as simple as these suggestions?
I could write or phone the FAA, but being Government controlled it would take years of infighting among politicians to do anything regardless of the potential deadly results.
Knowing how "Politically Correct" they are and unwilling to listen to common sense, I would be wasting my time. Hopefully someone in the FAA will suddenly "Wake up" and think of a simple
solution.
Nice day, trusting you are enjoying it,
Cecil

Shalom,
I'm looking for information about the french britain too ("bretagne")Â do you know about this subject?
Actually do they have common ancestries with Celts, Irish, Wales, ... ? I saw that tribes from DANÂ were also around this area ...

7. JamesR: The Case for Black Ephraimites
This new research seems to imply the non-environmental existence of Black Ephraimites:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150324132224.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fhealth_medicine%2Fgenes+%28Genes+News+--+ScienceDaily%29
This one indicates the existence of Black Jews outside environmental influences:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110524153536.htm
The Tanach seems to corroborate this research. Correct me if I'm wrong but Kushites dwelled in Israel during the epoch of David (2 Sam 18:21-23,31-32). Psa 7:1, a meditation of David revealing a man named 'Kush' from the tribe of Benjamin. The prophet Zephaniah's father (of Judah's ancestral line) acquired the name 'Kushiy' (Zep 1:1)-- defined as 'their blackness'1]. The same general term for "Kushiy" in Zep 1:1 is translated "Ethiopian" in Jer 13:23. Another descendant of Judah named 'Jehudi' , meaning 'Jew' -- had an ancestor named 'Kushiy' (Jer 36:14).
It would seem to me [the ALMIGHTY] is trying to tells us, He has never been concerned with race or color as much as He is with religion and ancestry.
