Re: "We say that part of the Ten Tribes of Israel dwelt amongst the Celts".
Â
It is actually the other way round. The name Celt is a variant spelling of Gaul, Galati and other permutations. These names are actually derived from the name Gilead (son of Machir, son of Menashe). If you can recall, I mentioned that the Kelts appear in the El Amarna letters, which date to the time of Ahab and Jehoshaphat. (This is one thing which Velikovsky certainly got right!). As you say, the name Celt was applied generically and indiscriminately by the classical writers to a large number of different tribes even though they did not belong to the tribe of Gilead.
Â
Some of these Celtic tribes included:-
Bellovaci, which in Greek is written Bellui-ci = Pallu son of Reuben.
The name which is usually written Arverni, is, in the Greek, written Aroer-ni. They have clearly named themselves after the city of Aroer in the land to the east of the river Jordan which belonged to the half tribe of Menashe, to Gad and to Reuben. The Arverni who settled in France appear to have been specifically of the tribe of Reuben.
Tectosages = Tahat son of Ephraim. (The 'sagi' [pl. sages] was the type of coarse tunic worn by these people.)
Audui = Ard son of Benjamin. (Some of these Audui migrated to Britain during the time of Julius Caesar and emerged as the Ordovices who settled in northern Wales. The name Ordovices was written Ordui-ci in Greek.)
Â
From this, it should be clear that many of these Celtic tribes were of Israelite descent. More importantly, many of them continued to carry their family names around with them. Did you know that the name Frank (the people who gave their name to France) is a variant spelling of Pharnaki (compare Pharnacia in Anatolia) and that both names are a metathesis of Reuphank? Metatheses were far more common than think.
Â
As for the Yaphetic tribes, if you look closely, you will notice that ALL of the Yaphetic tribes settled in the Far East:-
Japan/Nippon = Yavan
Cathay (the ancient name for northern China) = Kittim
The Khmer people who settled in Cambodia = Gomer
The oriental peoples are unable to pronounce their l's - hence Tubal becomes Tubau or similar. The Tuoba Xianbei of northern China as well as the Tuvyans of southern Siberia are descended from Tubal.
Riphat became the people called Paretaceni by Herodotus and Pliny. They are today traceable to the Buryats of Buryatia in north China.
Â
What then does this tell you about the appearance of the Yaphetic tribes? The Israelite tribes have convinced themselves that they are Yaphetic. Despite all the hype, the Celts were NOT Yaphetic!
Â
For fear of writing an epistle, I shall end here.

2. Question from Norway Concerning the Tribe of Levi
Bjorn Stamland wrote:
Dear Sir,
Â
First of all; thank you so much for your profound and very important work regarding The Ten Tribes of israel; God bless!
Â
My questions:
Â
Levites were amongst the other tribes in ancient Israel and Judah. Most of the Levites in Israel were exciled to Assyria together with the ten tribes. Levites of Israel should therefore today be amongst the ten tribes(?)
Â
Do you think there are Levites in every western country that is populated by the ten tribes?
Do you think Levites will play a key role in the coming awakening of the the ten tribes, Â Like they did in ancient time of Gods work?
Â
Thanking you in anticipation,
Best regard,
Â
Bjorn

4. Weekly Portion. Excerpts from Brit-Am Commentary
Deuteronomy 3: Ekev
Ekev: Obligations and Potentialities
Deuteronomy 7:12 to 11:25
http://www.britam.org/deuteronomy/3ekev.html
Here Keeping the Covenant refers to that aspect of the Promised Blessings that was contingent on keeping the Commandments as a result of which they would dwell in the Land. After the Ten Tribes were exiled they were re-defined in a religious sense as "gentiles for all intents and purposes" and henceforth no longer bound by the Law. The Covenant and its conditions no longer applied to them but in the future it will.
[Deuteronomy 7:13] AND HE WILL LOVE THEE, AND BLESS THEE, AND MULTIPLY THEE: HE WILL ALSO BLESS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, AND THE FRUIT OF THY LAND, THY CORN, AND THY WINE, AND THINE OIL, THE INCREASE OF THY KINE, AND THE FLOCKS OF THY SHEEP, IN THE LAND WHICH HE SWARE UNTO THY FATHERS TO GIVE THEE.                 Â
Keep the Torah in the land of Israel and a blessing will come unto you. Â
Iron is found in Kurdistan in the border regions of Syria and in what is now Turkey and Iron was in the past was also found in Lebanon.
Copper is found in the south of Israel near Eilat.
As well as in Cyrpus. Our word in English "copper" comes from Cyprus.
Cyprus is also part of the Promised Land of Israel.

[Deuteronomy 8:17] AND THOU SAY IN THINE HEART, MY POWER AND THE MIGHT OF MINE HAND HATH GOTTEN ME THIS WEALTH.     Â
 People who are well off, healthy, and wealthy etc are more liable to be lead astray by temptation. Many of us unfortunately know this from our own life experiences. We are warned to fear God at all times, to take nothing for granted, to be thankful for what we have and realize that it can all be taken away from us. If we sin this is what may well happen. It does not happen every time and not to everyone, or so it would seem. This is deceptive. All good deeds are rewarded and all sin punished. We are just not always aware of the how and why and the relative balances and checks that come into play. Â
Â
[Deuteronomy 8:18] BUT THOU SHALT REMEMBER THE LORD THY GOD: FOR IT IS HE THAT GIVETH THEE POWER TOÂ GET WEALTH, THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT WHICH HE SWARE UNTO THY FATHERS, AS IT IS THIS DAY.
WEALTH. In Hebrew Hail (or "chayil").
"Chayil" which may also be transcribed as "hail" for example as pronounced in Yemenite and Eastern Hebrew. This word "hail" in Hebrew means "strength" and it also can mean "soldier". The English word "hale" was also once written as "hail" and connotes "strength" as in the expression "Hale and hearty". In addition in Old English this very same word "hale" or "hail" could too mean "soldier". We thus find the same word pronounced almost the very same way having the very same TWO meanings in both Hebrew and Old English.
This word may be also understood to mean "the ability to do things".
God vies us the ability to do, to work, and to fulfill our potentialities.
[Deuteronomy 9:5] NOT FOR THY RIGHTEOUSNESS, OR FOR THE UPRIGHTNESS OF THINE HEART, DOST THOU GO TO POSSESS THEIR LAND: BUT FOR THE WICKEDNESS OF THESE NATIONS THE LORD THY GOD DOTH DRIVE THEM OUT FROM BEFORE THEE, AND THAT HE MAY PERFORM THE WORD WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO THYÂ FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB.
God made a Promise to our forefathers. The Almighty has a kind of obligation towards us because of our Israelite ancestors. If we are not worthy this obligation may not be fulfilled in our lifetime but eventually it will be. There is a chance for our descendants.
Â
[Deuteronomy 7:14] THOU SHALT BE BLESSED ABOVE ALL PEOPLE: THERE SHALL NOT BE MALE OR FEMALE BARREN AMONG YOU, OR AMONG YOUR CATTLE.
Â
[Deuteronomy 7:15] AND THE LORD WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THEE ALL SICKNESS, AND WILL PUT NONE OF THE EVIL DISEASES OF EGYPT, WHICH THOU KNOWEST, UPON THEE; BUT WILL LAY THEM UPON ALL THEM THAT HATE THEE.
The enemies of the Covenant People will be stricken by horrible diseases.
We take this opportunity here to call on all "Israelite" nations in which the Lost Ten tribes are prominent. Do not be like the Gentiles. Do not hate and persecute and condemn Judah as they do.
Look at them.
Do you want to be like the heathen?
Pagans?
Hindu cow-worshippers?
Muslims who behead women for getting themselves raped?
Make your choice.
Chose the God of Israel.
Be loyal to the Jewish People and support the State of Israel.
Also regarding the Torah:
It is true that at present you are not obliged by the Torah but in the future you will be and now you have some obligation to begin to find your way back. This is implied in the Prophets.
So do not keep a Kosher Kitchen like the Jews do with all the nuts and bolts and itty bitty niceties of the Ultra Orthodox but at least refrain from non-Kosher foods. This is to your advantage from a health point of view and in other ways.
