1. New Article. Turkey is Not Edom! Disqualifying Points
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/esau2/edomno.html
           Edomite groups were present in Ancient Times in the geographical area of what is now Turkey. Other groups were also present and these were the majority. Those Edomites that were there mostly moved out. Some may have stayed. At all events Turkey is not now an Edomite entity par excellence. Most of its people are not Edomites and on the whole it does not have Edomite characteristics....
Let us take a few Edomite features and note their relative lack amongst the Turks of Turkey.
(1) Poor and Not Rich Like Esau!....
(2)Â Not Intellectual Like Esau!....
(3) They are Not Military-Types!
           I can already imagine a knee-jerk reaction and expressions of protest to the above heading, amongst those of my readers who know something about history. The Turks at the height of their power had vast armies and navies that ruled over a large Empire and cast fear everywhere. The Turks ruled over much of the Middle East, parts of Asia, North Africa, and southeast Europe. At one stage they besieged Vienna in Austria. It was feared they would invade Italy and attempt to conquer the known world.
In World War-1 the Turks were allied with the Germans and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They had a reputation for being formidable soldiers especially in defense. My own grandfather served in the British Army as a liaison officer between the British and French who faced the Turks at Gallipoli. After them came the Australians.Â
The Turks beat them.
How therefore can we say that they lack military qualities?....

2. Question on the Name of Australia in Hebrew
From: Michael
Yair. Do you have the interpretation of Australia in Hebrew?Â
Â
Thx, Mike
 ==============================
Brit-Am Reply:
Australia in Latin means The South Land. In Hebrew this would mean Eretz HaDrom.
In Aramaic it would be Ara Deroma which is the translation of "Land of Sinim"Â in
Â
 Isaiah 49:
12 'Behold, these will come from afar;
And lo, these will come from the north and from the west, And these from the land of Sinim.'
Â
This according to the context refers to the Lost Ten Tribes.

3. Proverbs 23: 22-24Â Learn to be Wise
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/proverbs/proverbs23.html
Proverbs 23:
22 Harken to your father, this one who begot you,
And do not be contemptuous when aged is your mother
23 Truth purchase, and do not sell,
wisdom and instruction and understanding.
24 Surely shall the father of a saint be glad
And he who sires a wiseman shall be happy in him.
The message is, amongst other things, take instruction and learning from where it is offered.
Give what you can of it to whoever wants to receive it. You will grow because of it.
Respect your parents and learn from them. Do what you can for your children and they shall help understand.
We have here the English word "glad".
This is the conventional etymology of the word.
glad (adj.)
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=gladOld English glad "bright, shining, gleaming; joyous; pleasant, gracious" (also as a noun, "joy, gladness"), from Proto-Germanic *glada- (cognates: Old Norse gladr "smooth, bright, glad," Danish glad "glad, joyful," Old Saxon gladmod, in which the element means "glad," Old Frisian gled "smooth," Dutch glad "slippery," German glatt "smooth"), from PIE *ghel- (2) "to shine," with derivatives referring to bright materials and gold (see glass). The notion is of being radiant with joy; the modern sense "feeling pleasure or satisfaction" is much weakened. Slang glad rags "one's best clothes" first recorded 1902.
There is also a Hebrew word "gil". This means "be glad". "gil" and "glad" look similar and mean the same. Which etymology is the most logical. Ours or theirs? You decide.
