Lighthouses
In modern times the task of the Beacon Fires has been replaced by Lighthouses.
The Hebrew word translated as "in the fires" in Isaiah 24:15 (which we understand to refer to Britain) is "Be-urim". This may also be understood to say "in the lights" or both fires and lights.
The Modern Classical work, "Van Loon's Geography. The Story of the World", by Hendrik Willem Van Loon, NY, 1940, p.225, says:
"Great Britain is a country of Lighthouses".
Here are a few items of interest concerning Lighthouses:
"there were only about 250 lighthouses worldwide by 1820, the majority having been constructed in the previous 50 years."
The oldest lighthouse in the British Isles is at Hook Head in County Wexford, southeast Ireland, erected in 1172 and "modernised" in 1791.
Elizabeth -1 in 1594 granted a licence to the Guild of Shipmen and Mariners to set up sea-marks. They apparently at first used lanterns and later became responsible for lighthouses in the UK.
The classical Lighthouse design with a round stone tower and interlocking masonry was first set up by John Smeaton in 1759.
" He modelled the shape of his lighthouse on that of an oak tree, using granite blocks. "
The UK now has about 650 lighthouses, Australia has 133.

The historically very important organization known as Brit-Am once considered using the picture of a lighthouse as its symbol, and may still do so.

 Duration:  11.28 minutes
The majority of the Hebrew Nations were exiled by the Assyrians and lost awareness of their ancestry. They became the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.

3. New Article by Don Davis:
It's time for Israel to wage a formidable Public Relations campaign
http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/its-time-for-israel-to-wage-a-formidable-public-relations-campaign/
A Times of Israel article.
Extract:
Subsequently, Israel needs to fight the PR campaign as if it was a full-scale war of survival if they wish to keep their Jewish rights, traditions and culture intact.
Don't plan or expect anyone to come to your rescue in matters of rights, traditions and culture, they will not. This is the time to behave 'Israeli', complain, be loud, proud, and blunt, forget protocol, raise PR havoc and never let up for one minute until you achieve your goal.
