1. Alexander Zephyr: Testimony for Brit-Am
I have to confess: This 'business' of the Lost Ten Tribes I learned a long time ago from H. W. Armstrong when he was alive. A few years ago I ran across Brit-Am and its founder, Yair Davidiy. What Yair had in common with H. W. Armstrong is the fact that the LTT are in the West; that England is Ephraim and the USA is Manasseh; and that there are about a dozen countries of Israelite origin in Europe, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and so on. The encounter with Brit-Am made a huge impact on me and my knowledge of the LTT. This was a turning point where the era of H. Armstrong and his teaching had ended and a new epoch of brilliant research and previously-unheard-of additional knowledge concerning the LTT was being presented to the world by Yair Davidiy.
Thank you for this wonderful knowledge and your tireless labor in the field of
Research, Representation, and Reconciliation of the LTT of Israel.
Shalom,
Alexander Zephyr

Comment on your video: The Celts Called Themselves Hebrews!
Note: There is documented proof that the Druids were literate, as being the educated elite would imply. The Druids did use a primitive form of writing called 'Ogam'; but they are also documented as having produced many writings. These Druid writings are listed in a 16th century lawyer's (Tadhg O'Roddy - also a comharb of St. Caillin's Church) inventory. When the British went about destroying Ireland, they burned down this comharb's home and either stole, or destroyed the Druid writings.

What kind of Brother would deceive his own brother... Can you say... Unrighteous liar...?
galacticwacko
Comment on your video: Cronic Cronus
Does your research point to Thoth being Saturn? Might make some sense... Odin could be Saturn as well... and his day is the Wodan'sday.... Miercoles in Spanish... Mercury... whom they also say is Thoth... Seth could be his brother... There seems to be an underlying theme of brothers battling throughout theology...

4. Sources for Rabbinical Authority Amongst the Jewish People.
Delegated Responsibility
Exodus 18:
24 So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. 25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 So they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves.
The Sanhedrin: 70 Elders
Numbers 11:
16 So the Lord said to Moses: Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. 17 Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.
Contemporary On-Going Decision-Making Ability
Deuteronomy 17:
8 If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God chooses. 9 And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment. 10 You shall do according to the sentence which they pronounce upon you in that place which the Lord chooses. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they order you. 11 According to the sentence of the law in which they instruct you, according to the judgment which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left from the sentence which they pronounce upon you. 12 Now the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel. 13 And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously.

5. Offerings in the Bible
Genesis 28:
22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You
Malachi 3:
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this, Says the LORD of hosts,
If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,Â
Says the LORD of hosts;
12 And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land, Says the LORD of hosts.
[Proverbs 3:9] Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
[Proverbs 3:10] So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Malachi 3:
6 For I am the Lord, I do not change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
7 Yet from the days of your fathers
You have gone away from My ordinances
And have not kept them.
Return to Me, and I will return to you,
Says the Lord of hosts.
But you said,
In what way shall we return?
Do Not Rob God
8Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
In what way have we robbed You?
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,
Says the Lord of hosts,
If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,
Says the Lord of hosts;
12 And all nations will call you blessed,
For you will be a delightful land,
Says the Lord of hosts.
Brit-Am/Hebrew nations is in need of funds. Even a little helps. Indications are that our outreach efforts are bearing fruit. More people are being reached and they who have already heard of us seem to be paying more attention BUT (possibly doe to the economic situation) our income has gone down somewhat and it was already precarious. Be a participant in the Hebrew Nations enterprise. Become an enabler for our efforts. The God of Israel will not disappoint.
