Hi Yair
Greetings
I see that you have also had emails from Clifford Riley.
He lives near to our BIWF headquarters in England so I am hoping to meet up
with him.
I outline below one of my email responses to him.
With best regards

Hi Clifford
Thank you for taking the time to look at Gawler's book and providing us with
your very welcome comments.
I cannot, of course 'prove' the suggested link between the Irish Danaan and
the Biblical tribe of Dan anymore than your quoted writers can 'prove'
their link with the mythical Sumerian 'Anu' or the Indian 'Danu'
Clearly. as is common practice, your quoted writers have used the same or
similar source material and with integrity do qualify their assertions with
phrases such as 'inviting comparison with' and 'cannot be
proven' (MacKillop), 'device of historical reconstruction' (Breatnach),
'parallels which can be drawn' (Corr Gomm), 'may be' and 'it therefore
appears' (OHogain), 'seem to suggest' (Curran) etc.
To my mind, a good argument in favour of Gawler is the association with a
very real historical people known to be mariners, colonisers and highly
skilled craftsmen as opposed to obscure and mythical if not fanciful
'goddesses'.
Dr. Latham in his 'Ethnology of Europe' suggests a connection between the
Biblical Dan and the Greek Danites, making an interesting observation:
'Neither do I think that the eponymus of the Argive Danai was other than
that of the Israelite tribe of Dan; only we are so used to confine ourselves
to the soil of Palestine in our consideration of the history of the
Israelites, that we treat them as if they were adscripti glebae, and ignore
the share they may have taken in the ordinary history of the world'
(p.137).
I must say that as a College lecturer of many years and having worked with
numerous highly qualified academics, I have often been surprised at how
often such gifted people miss the obvious. We can and do sometimes not see
the wood for trees.
Dr. Cyrus Gordon, wrote of the migrations of Dan in his 'The Mediterranean
Factor In The Old Testament':
'The role of Dan is of particular importance. Judges 5:17 informs us that
Dan was a sea people, dwelling in ships. Dan is related onomastically to
Danan [and] Danuna with the suffix 'an [or] ' on. The group must have been
large, for it is well nigh ubiquitous. The Greeks called themselves Danaoi;
Ramses III repulsed the Denyen (=Danuna/Danaoi/Danites), in the eighth
century B.C., Cilicia was dominated by Danunites, and there is reason to
believe that waves of Danaoi/Danites migrated to the westernmost reaches of
Europe, bringing with them their name" (p. 21).
I do value our conversation on this fascinating subject and would much
welcome a discussion with you on other topics such as the druids and Celts
and early Britons, which I am sure, you have a similar extensive knowledge
of.
Perhaps we could meet up over a cup of tea.
With best regards
Martin

Duration:Â 30.20 minutes
The Israelites were to told to inherit and settle in the Land. Every year they had to bring their first fruits tot he Tabernacle (Temple).
They had to remember that their forefather had once been wandering Arami. This term was also applied to the Scythians.
The Tribes were told to go to Mounts Gerizim and Ebal. Six tribes stood on one mountain and six on the other.
Blessings and curse were read out.
For our own sake and for that of others we need to seek the will of the Almighty.

Deuteronomy chs. 28, 29
Extracts:
Deuteronomy 28:7 The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you; they shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways.
Your enemies will all run away from you even though they may be many more than you and have weapons and means that you lack. They will still flee.
Â
All the nations of the world will fear you! The Bible says so.
The USA has lent money to every nation on earth.
Britain in the past also lent money to other nations and invested in them. The UK still benefits from returns on these investments. That is one of the reasons why the UK continues to appear relatively powerful and prosperous even though according to statistics it should have dwindled much more than it it has.

Deuteronomy 28:
13The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail; you shall be only at the top, and not at the bottom, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today, by diligently observing them,Â
The Haftorah
 Isaiah ch.60:1-22
http://www.britam.org/isaiah/Isaiah56to60.html
http://www.britam.org/ProphSumContents.htmlThe light of God will shine upon Judah and all those associated with her (60:1). Gentile leaders will come to Judah for instruction and enlightenment (60:3). "Captive" (Assimilated) Jews and Lost Israelites will return (60:4).
The Lost Ten Tribes who were exiled to the Isles of the Sea (and other places) will return (60:5). The riches of the world will be brought unto you (60:5-7). The Exiles of Judah and of the Lost Ten Tribes will return by air travel (60:8).
They will come back from the Islands and the Atlantic Ocean area (60:9). Other peoples will serve you willingly (60:10-11). Nations that will not serve you will be destroyed (60:12).
The persecutors of the Jews shall repent. Their descendants shall request forgiveness and acknowledge the basic relative innocence and righteousness of the Jewish people (60:14-16). Great prosperity will prevail (60:17). Human nature will change. There will be no more violence (60:18).

4. Steve Mathe: The Return of Israelites Requires Prayer!
From: Steve Mathe <shenabav@dslextreme.com>
Re: Brit-Am Now no. 2118. Ten Tribes Studies.
Yair,
Am seconding your and Alistair William's motion in replying to Robert's inquiry, "When can we come home?" I have written an article about that answer back in 2006 in Brit Am Truth Magazine. It spells out the priorities we are told in the Tanakh which we, the early returnees, need to KNOW and DO in the lands where we wake up: http://www.uniteourheart.com/Issues/Some%20Pointers%20about%20Reunification.html
Knowing our identities is only the very first among three recurring three steps that we have to cycle through over and over again in our homeward journey, http://www.uniteourheart.com/repentance/Turn-Us-Again.html . As we did on our journey in the wilderness of old, now we have to make our way with Divine Guidance through the maze of our theologies, philosophies, isms and all kinds of beliefs, from station to station, learning and unlearning at each. Along the way we have to "unlearn" and discard the accumulated baggage of centuries of inherited lies from our fathers, (Jer. 16:19), http://www.uniteourheart.com/repentance/Restoration-to-the-Torah.html . As our father Yaakov told his sons to discard the idols among us, on our way to Beit El, (Gen 35:1-4), we have to do likewise now. This is not easy, and is not done with a quick statement. Finding them and burying them takes time and "work" for they have been ingrained in our individual and collective subconscious for centuries. This is not just an individual task for each one of us, but through our individual inner work and the group effort of collective outer work of spreading the word to our brothers and sisters, we contribute to the collective and aggregate task of changing the collective consciousness of the Ten Tribes as a whole. For this reason we have been awakened to be part of the first contingent to arise from the Valley of Dry Bones, to be pioneer "workers" and "fighters" in the latter day "Work" of Eli-Yah, http://www.uniteourheart.com/Foundation-Articles/The-Message-of-Elijah.html . At this season, it especially behooves us to study and read up on the individual task in the collective repentance task, i.e. the "confession" that Moses told us to do. Doing so will help in anchoring us to the Torah, http://www.rootsoffaith.org, and will promote our return to our identity, (Hos. 1:9) as "Covenant People, (Isa. 42:6, 49:8), the treasured people of the Creator, (Deut. 26:16-19, part of the parasha this week), http://www.shaar-israel.org/Welcome-to-Shaar-Israel/Repentance/index.htm . It is the appointed time do so in this month of Elul. Please talk to God and do as you are moved to do your part in this "Work." When you have done that most serious confession, as instructed, please send your feedback to Hebrewnations.com about this task.
I expect great imminent forward moves in this "Work" we are all in, both at Brit Am and elsewhere. We, collectively, need to raise up the nes/standard around which our tribes need to gather (Isa. 62:10) in the lands of our exile. We can promote that if everyone could send a supportive statement of $100 with which you identify with this collective task at Brit Am. It would greatly advance that "Work" we are called to support.

6. Jeremie Hongerloot: Question on the Gauls
Shalom Mr. Davidiy-I just had a question, do you believe the Gauls of ancient France were Israelite?
====
Brit-Am Reply:
At least part of the Ancient Gauls were of Israelite descent. Some details are found in our work "The Tribes".
The Gauls were comprised of numerous different tribes not all of which were necessarily of the same origin.
