2. Dafydd (Australia): The Hebron Accord and Unity of the Tribes.

Brit-Am Preliminary Note: The article below was send by Dafydd at the tail end of a letter we have entitled "Naphtali, the Norse, and Democracy" and posted in BATR-9. Perhaps Dafydd wished to link the two matters? Nevertheless we have separated them for editorial reasons. Yair.

I would like to discuss... some comments you made regarding the Hebron Accord (if I may refer to the 'Striped Tie Triad's' Hebron meeting as such)...
[See:
Hebron2012. Preliminary Report of Meeting.
Regarding the Hebron Accord, I thank and congratulate you and your colleagues for having arrived at an agreement to work together in harmony to advance the truth of the presence of Israel in the West amongst the House of Judah. I understand that you are of the opinion that not much was achieved, but this was an important first step in my opinion, and I'm sure that meeting there in Hebron, in the presence as it were of Fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, was divinely ordained.
Some years ago I read an essay written by an American Jewish commentator who writes on political and social issues where he described an unusual arousal when visiting Jerusalem to attend one of the Feasts. This writer doesn't write about religious topics, and I'm sure that he would not know or be particularly concerned about Lost Israel, nevertheless he left Jerusalem with a poignancy which he could not explain, and he shared this with his readership.
After leaving Jerusalem he travelled to Tel Aviv to catch his flight back to America, and while travelling he noticed all the Magen David flags flying everywhere he looked. Being very proud of his Jewish heritage, he took comfort from the fact that somewhere in the world the Magen David flew proudly, then a strange melancholy or poignancy fell upon him which touched him significantly enough for him to write about this event.
He wrote that a longing came upon him to see the flags of the other Tribes flying alongside the Magen David, where was the bull-calf of Ephraim, Zebulon's ship, etc? He offered no opinion about what should be done, or why these other flags were not flying, he simply mentioned the impact that their absence had upon him.
Is it possible that our Almighty Father is talking to the intuitive and observant members of the House of Judah to awaken in them a longing to be reunited with their lost brothers? I believe that this is occurring and for understandable reasons. Judah is well aware of the dangers which surround him while Joseph stumbles along in the dark and has no understanding of the events which will unfold. In this hostile world, which is becoming more dangerous daily, is it not natural to want your brother to stand beside you for your mutual defence?
So Yair, you and your colleagues, as Emissaries for the House of Israel within the House of Judah, to agree to stand together to share the truth of who and where Joseph is today, this is not a small thing which you have done.
I would make one request of you and your colleagues; when discussing where Joseph is with your Jewish brethren please advance a plea for the return of Mannesah first. I believe that Mannesah (USA) stands in immediate danger, and I have heard that ten thousand Americans are leaving the USA every month, and they are relocating primarily to South American states. These people are most likely not aware that they are Joseph, and would probably argue strongly against the idea based on their contorted theology. They do feel lead however to flee from the Daughter of Babylon, and it is from the Daughter of Babylon that segments of House of Israel first return to the Land of Israel.
Perhaps this is the time that Joseph and Judah should start talking about a return, and how that should occur and under what circumstances. My understanding is that the bulk of Israel, albeit only a remnant of them that survive the events which are to occur, don't return till Messiah ben David rules from Jerusalem, however having a representative House of Israel minority living in the land alongside Judah will aid the eventual full reconciliation between the two houses.
I know that this is not a stated aim of Brit-Am, and even runs contrary to your stated stance on this matter, but I'm sure that it would advance the reconciliation aim of Brit-Am's 'Three Rs'. Could I suggest perhaps a DRAFT statement of agreement for such a reconciliation to be posted on Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations to encourage discussion between your Jewish and Christian readership?
My very best wishes,
Dafydd
3. David Jackson: Notes on Obama
RE: Brit-Am Now no. 1956: Ten Tribes Studies. - US Election Results
Yair,
For a conservative Republican such as myself it's hard to find any sort of
silver lining in this US election cycle. My viewpoint toward socialism can
be concisely summed up in this: It's easy to give away other people's money.
The Left seems to excel at doing just that. Yet numerous studies in the US
have shown that social conservatives far out-give liberals in charitable
contributions. In other words, they're hypocrites.
Nevertheless I'll point out two good things that may come from this, at
least as I define "good".
(1) Just as President Nixon was able to make peace with Communist China
because no one doubted his anti-Communist credentials (the saying "Only
Nixon could go to China" has become an axiomatic phrase in the US referring
to this kind of counter-intuitive initiative), so may Obama may be better
positioned than Romney would have been to make the draconian spending cuts
that are coming.
For readers who may not know it, I'll make two observations. First, and
almost unbelievably, Romney actually got 2 million fewer votes than did the
hopelessly aged and uncharismatic Senator John McCain four years ago. You
could have made a fortune in Las Vegas wagering against that at any hour up
to the very night the election results began coming in. Had he just gotten
McCain's tepid vote total, he may have actually won the election!
Secondly, in the closing months of the Republican primary, Romney had a car
elevator installed in one of his California residences so that he could
store more automobiles on the same amount of land. Hint to future
Republican candidates: When you're running for office on the premise that
government needs to reduce benefits to the poor, don't be installing car
elevators in your garage.
Everyone seems to know that in the near future the economy of the US will
begin to contract, if not positively implode. I'm not very money-oriented
so I can't speak to that with much assurance, but even I know that debt is
bad and we have a lot of debt. It's enormous now and increasing faster all
the time. One authoritative commentator said that within six years, 92% of
all federal spending will be spent paying interest on the national debt,
leaving only 8% for everything else, like healthcare, defense and
transportation.
That can't happen therefore it won't, but it's alarming to consider what may
happen instead. Know this: Something will.
Maybe the country will be better able to accept dreadful spending cuts if a
leftist like Obama says they're necessary. If they really are necessary, he
won't have any choice. Romney may have been seen as trying to protect the
rich at the expense of the poor, even if they both came up with the exact
same solution.
(2) As is so often the case, the election hinged on the upper Midwest,
particularly Ohio (disclaimer: I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio).
This area is the industrial heartland of the country. Most the nation's
automobile and other heavy industry is centered here. It was here that
Romney lost.
Romney was known as a pro-big business, internationalist type. He wanted
the automobile industry to re-organize in bankruptcy instead of being bailed
out as Obama did. This gravely injured his chances of carrying the upper
Midwest by making him appear unsympathetic to working class people. And the
fact that he had supported the earlier financial industry bailout under
President Bush didn't ameliorate that image.
I personally agree that re-organizing in bankruptcy would have been better
in the long term. Preserving bloated union-run shops will not make the
industry as competitive as it needs to be. But I say that as someone who is
an economic nationalist.
If Obama's election leads to fewer jobs being shipped overseas and less
outsourcing, then I see goodness in that. Nations such as the US, the UK
and Israel need to understand that they can never compete on cost with
nations like China and India because we don't want to live like them. The
advanced nations must protect their industries and the high-paying jobs they
provide, even if that means tariffs and trade embargos.
Making the poor of other countries slightly less poor at the expense of
impoverishing ourselves isn't a good plan and the voters voted that way.
In conclusion, I could never support Obama or anyone like him. His
pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, pro-redistribution agenda rules that out.
I believe that to vote for someone who favors those things brings eternal
consequences when we stand before the judgment seat of God.
The election didn't produce the results I wanted, but I pray that the Lord
will use it to his greater purposes and preserve his people.
We met yet look back on this and be glad it went the way it did.

4. What happened to the British Israel World Federation?
Dear Yair,
Â
This used to be the official organisation (http://www.britishisrael.co.uk/). Are they not active anymore? Do you not cooperate with each other?
Â
Yours faithfully,
Â
Roberto Bravo
Brit-Am Reply:
The BIWF sell our book The Tribes. We would like them to sell other of our publications as well.
They have a web-site which is active. They also put out a magazine that recently has been drastically improved and sometimes contains articles of interest to us.
I understand that they have a reasonable membership as well as a functioning organization.
I think they should do more to promote belief in Western Hebrew Identity. In recent times they seem to have somewhat neglected this issue.
At one stage they seemed interested in a closer association with Brit-Am but subsequent approaches by us were not followed up on by them.

5. Mark Williams: Question on Fires in the Isles and a Correct Translation.
Shalom Yair
I've noticed that a lot of the more modern Bible translations render
the word translated as "fires" by the AV and its successors as "east".
Is there any justification for this interpretation in the Hebrew
version? Or is it just a case of the translators going with what makes
sense to them rather than what was actually written?
Brit-Am Reply:
The NKJV has:
Isaiah 24:
15 Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light,
The name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
Your question concerns the word translated as "the dawning light" BUT before we begin it should be noted that, at the end of the verse, the words translated as "coastlands of the sea" in Hebrew are Ee-ay HaYam meaning literally Isles of the Sea or "Isles of the West".
The word translated as "the dawning light" in Hebrew is "Be-Urim".
Are these different Translations possibilities? Be-Urim literally means "in the fires" or "in the lights". How this became "in the east" or "dawning light"Â I do not know. Perhaps it is because the sun rises in the east?
At all events, our policy is to prefer the most literal meaning wherever possible.
In this case, the KJV rendering fits the Literal Hebrew best of all:
[Isaiah 24:15]
"WHEREFORE GLORIFY YE THE LORD IN THE FIRES, EVEN THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD O ISRAEL IN THE ISLES OF THE SEA."
See:
Fires in the Isles
Extracts:
These people (the Gaal of Sciot) had the custom of lighting beacon fires on the coasts.
"All the headlands and promontories belonging to the Gaal of Sciot on the northwest coast of Spain were called in the Phoenician language Breoccean, that is, The Land of Flaming Fires, because of the blaze that was kept up and could be seen at a great distance out to sea. The same custom was observed on the coast of Cornwall and Devonshire after the Gaal of Sciot joined with the Phoenicians in their mining operations there, and that land was called Breotan, Breo meaning Flaming Fire" [cf. "BIAR" = burn in Hebrew].
This practice has been used to explain a verse in Isaiah:
(Isaiah 24;14-15)
"They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD. They shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore, glorify the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea."
We thus find the Lighting of Fires in the British Isles to be an indication of Israelite Presence according to Isaiah.
We know that such a lighting was a regular practice in the British Isles from the earliest days. Throughout most of its history lighting fires as a means of relaying messages was a distinguishing characteristic of the British Isles. The Ancient Israelites had had a similar practice.
Dear Yair,
Well, if a huge fee like that has to be paid to continue, i am so sorry but I cannot. I am a widow and living on a fixed and very limited income. ... $60 is a big amount of money to me. I will miss you and I will getting the newsletters. ... Also, I need to say The Most High does indeed provide all my needs and is very close. I do not want it to sound like He is not keeping His Word, His Own Torah! Just that extra fee to be a member, well, no.
Shalom,
A.
Brit-Am Reply:
A. Shalom,
Our requested fee was no more than a request.
We think it is fair but people who cannot pay do not have to.
Different people give what they can in their own way.
Our ability to function really is dependent on more funding.
God bless you

Baruch HaShem,
Giving your time and effort away for pennies is the mark of a saint...it is about time that the professor charged for his time.
May you be blessed as you soldier on.

8. Where did the Chinese and Japanese, Hawaiians and Alaskans come from?

Brit-Am Reply:
I do not know. The Sages said that ever since the Assyrian Conquests the peoples of the World have been intermixed. The Assyrians used to take people from one area and bring them to another. In their inscriptions they also speak of taking women from one nation and coupling them with men from another. Interestingly, a Talmudic Commentary also mentions this. The Assyrians ruled over much of the world. I believe it could be shown that they once ruled over India. The Asura are mentioned in Indian Texts. These were the Assyrians, as noted by Craig White. Velikovsky and others also found them in southern Russia. The Assyrians may also have been in Central Europe (as suggested by legends) and in Britain as shown by archaeological findings of various appurtenances. And in Spain and North Africa, and in West Africa.
See:
Germany and West Africa theories
#2. Assyrians in Europe or Africa?
Consequently, it is now impossible to pint-point for sure who descended from whom.
Nevertheless, approximations may be made.
Craig White wrote a very valuable work on this subject.
# In Search of ... the Origin of Nations #
Others also wrote about it.
This is not my field.
Nevertheless, on the whole I would say that the Chinese and Japanese, Hawaiians and Alaskans are primarily from the families of Japhet possibly Magog. Inputs from Ham are also possible.
So too, descendants of Sem and of the Family of Abraham such as Israelites, Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, etc may also have made a contribution.

Have the Tribulations of Jacob Began?
Extracts:
Obama and the Travail of Jacob
Even Deborah however was not a direct ruler. She gave advice to Barak who was directly in charge. Because Barak insisted that Deborah accompany him in going out to War he was told that he would be punished by the final glory going to a female. This Happened when Yael the wife of Heber the Kenite killed Sisera the enemy general while he was sleeping.
Because King Rehoboam listened to young men (instead of older ones) the Nation of Israel was split into two sections.
The rule of women and youths in the End Times is considered a curse.
Isaiah 3:
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.
Foreigners.
It was forbidden for Israelites to surrender their Independence. They were not to allow themselves to be ruled by foreigners.
... Nevertheless we are also commanded to treat everyone with respect and dignity. This includes foreigners.
....the Israelites were warned that, as punishment for their sins, the resident aliens would come to rule over them.
A man being in labor with child, Like a woman in labor, could also refer to punishment for homosexuality, the emasculation of males, and related attitudes.
There is no vacuum. Reward and Punishment do exist. We do not always see it and sometimes it takes a long time to take effect but it is inexorable. Sin brings disaster and punishment. Repentance and good deeds can help us and may even turn curse into blessing.
Joseph will Help Save Israel!
cf. also: Midrash HaGadol (VaYatzei p.539):
# IT IS EVEN THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE, BUT HE SHALL BE SAVED OUT OF IT. There is no harder time for Israel than the War of Gog and Magog. There is no trouble like it, as it says about it: IT IS EVEN THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE, BUT HE SHALL BE SAVED OUT OF IT. They will not be saved at that time other than by virtue of Joseph#.
We identify Joseph as primarily the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and people in South Africa.
The Yoke of Foreigners will be Broken!
We need to repent. Everything is in the hands of Heaven. Even if a Ruler is otherwise a bad person and has evil intentions and wicked advisors the Almighty may still direct him to act righteously if his subjects deserve it.
cf.
[Proverbs 21:1] The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord,
Like the rivers of water;
He turns it wherever He wishes.
(b) New YouTube Clip. Jacob's Trouble and Obama
Duration ca. 50 minutes. To read article please Scroll Down.
Obama won the 2012 Presidential Elections due to finding favor in the eyes of youth, women, and Non-Israelite Aliens.
The Bible said that the Rule of Women and Youth is a curse and surrendering rulership to Foreigners is forbidden.
Is this the beginning of Jacob's Trouble as predicted in the Bible (Jeremiah 30:7)?

10. Katrina Peterson, in Criticism of Obama, Replies to Colin Power
RE: Brit-Am Now no. 1956: Ten Tribes Studies.
#2. Colin Power (Australia): In Defence of Obama.
Regarding #2, thank you for your remarks. It appears that the media has done its job with biased reporting, given that even people from Australia are in favor of Obama. However, this particular person is in a labor union. The labor unions helped put Obama in office. I am in a union, but I am not in favor of my dues helping elect any person. Fiat actually bought a sizable chunk of GM. Romney was in favor of the bankruptcy because it would allow them to restructure their company. The only thing that happened to GM under Obama is that it became a government-owned company. Isn't that what socialist and communist governments do? They own most if not all of the businesses. As for infrastructure, you cannot dump taxpayer money into economies for 1 year and expect a turnaround. Obama's desire to hire more teachers through government block funds has literally compromised all local tax structures, as after the funds are used up, the teachers have to be laid off because the local economies cannot support the added teachers' salaries and benefits. This is happening in all areas of tax support after these block funds run out. As for Israeli support, a lot of things changed around election time, but they are slowing moving back to where they were, such as support for Israel, gas prices, unemployment, layoffs, etc. As a foreigner, you don't get the whole picture. Don't judge a book by its cover. Katrina Peterson, Ohio, USA..
