1. New Article. Warning and Blessing
Threatened Gas Attack and New Year (Rosh HaShana) Message 5774
Extracts:
... Our ability however is dependent on our being able to function. This means funding.
We genuinely believe that whosoever helps us financially or any other way will be blessed.
If you can send something to help us, please do so. You will be blessed because of it and so will we.
Even small amounts help and are appreciated.
...We hope that next year the good things will continue to be good and other matters will get better.
We also send blessings to all our friends and subscribers and their families.
We urge those who can to send us a token of their appreciation of us before the end of this Hebrew Year i.e. within the next day or so.
Isaiah 27:
13 And on that day a great shofar will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
From the second day of Rosh HaShana begins the month of Tishrei.
Tishrei is probably derived from a word root meaning "gift".
"Teshurah" in fancy Hebrew means "present, bestowal".
.. It may be that Tishrei is named as it is because after Rosh HaShanah the life you receive and everything about it is a gift ("tesher") from the Almighty.
Appreciate it.
Tishrei is associated with the Tribe of Ephraim.
Rosh HaShana means the head or Beginning (Rosh) of the Year (HaShanah).
The Jewish Prayer service on this day is quite long. The Ten Tribes and Ephraim are spoken of several times....
On Rosh HaShana we should improve our actions.
This is a season in which the Almighty makes HIMSELF more amenable to us if we wish to approach HIM and change ourselves.

2. The Glenn Beck Message (The USA is the Ten Tribes) is Gaining Momentum
forwarded (separately) by Chaim Hyman and Craig White
Extracts:
Top conservative icon: U.S. is lost tribe of Israel
A lot of people have tried to find evidence of the United States being mentioned in biblical prophecy about future events, but this mega-personality says we should be looking at biblical HISTORY if we want to understand the America ... about 2,700 years ago, to be precise.
He's kept this secret until now ...
Media powerhouse: US Identified in Bible
http://www.wnd.com/2013/08/glenn-beck-u-s-is-lost-tribe-of-israel/
Extracts:
Radio and television host Glenn Beck is now going public with his belief the United States is among the famous 'Lost' 10 Tribes of Israel, and America today is suffering calamaties just as ancient Israel did due to its disobedience to the laws of God.
Echoing the conclusions of some experts who have delved deeply into what's known as the theory of 'Anglo-Israelism' or 'British-Israelism,' Beck took viewers of his TV show into a biblical history lesson dating back to the time after King David of the Old Testament, when the once united kingdom of Israel became divided.
'Israel was split into two kingdoms, the northern kingdom and the southern kingdom,' Beck explained.
Many people don't realize that ancient Israel (the Northern Kingdom) actually went to war against the Jews (the Southern Kingdom of Judah) over many years. Four Books of the Bible, 1 and 2 Kings as well as 1 and 2 Chronicles, document the separate national histories of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
Beck explained that eventually, God warned the rebellious northern kingdom to stop its sinning, or else face disaster.
'All of Western Civilization is based on the laws of Israel. And our entire history is directly tied to this moment. Our Pilgrims thought they were completing the journey out of captivity.'
Beck believes the Statue of Liberty holding tablets is a more modern representation of Moses holding the Ten Commandments, and he focused attention on the symbols on the both the presidential seal and the Great Seal of the United States.
On the presidential seal, he connected the artwork of sun rays, the moon and stars to one of the sons of Israel who had a famous dream in the Book of Genesis.
"When Joseph from the Bible is with his brothers, he tells his brothers that he had a dream. And he said, 'I had a dream where the sun, the moon and the stars all bowed down to me,'" Beck explained.
He then noted the prominent theme of the number 13 on the seal.
"There's strong symbolism with the number 13 being represented everywhere: 13 arrows, 13 stripes, 13 stars, 13 olives," he said.
But is that figure merely a reflection of the 13 original American colonies?
"That's what everyone will tell you, and that is one answer. But there is another one that many people believe," Beck said.
"What else is 13?... the 12 tribes of Israel."
As far as why 12 tribes of Israel would be represented by the number 13 and not 12, Beck stated, "The tribe of Joseph split into Manassah and Ephraim, and those were in northern Israel. That's the northern kingdom of Israel. That's the thirteen tribes."
As he examined the Great Seal of the U.S., Beck noted that above the eagle representing America, there are "13 stars in the shape of the Star of David."
Surrounding the grouping of stars, he pointed out the artwork of clouds and light from 'fire.'
"When Moses led his people out of Egypt, what did they follow during the day? A cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night. That's what this means," he said.
He even unearthed the original proposed seal for the nation, which was promoted by Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin.
Featuring the motto 'Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God,' the scene depicts the nation of Israel during its Exodus out of Egyptian slavery.
"Moses leading the Israelites across the Red Sea by a pillar of fire. Hello?" voiced Beck. "Look at the clouds around the fire in the center in exactly the same position as the eagle [seal]."
Historian Steven M. Collins of Sioux Falls, S.D., has written several books on the subject, including "The 'Lost' Ten Tribes of Israel" Found! and "Israel's Tribes Today."
"It is such heartening news to me that Glenn Beck has seen this fundamental truth about which so many Christians are unaware," Collins said after viewing Beck's program.
"If the modern nations of the ten tribes of Israel came to widely recognize their true heritage as the biblical 'house of Israel,' it would revolutionize the self-perceptions of not only individuals but of nations as well. It would also verify the Holy Bible powerfully as the prophecies about the Israelites' future after their exile from the Promised Land in the 8th century B.C. would be seen to be completely accurate and fulfilled. This would prove that the Bible is the Word of a Creator God as only an immortal Creator God could control the destinies of nations to make sure that biblical prophecies made millennia ago are being precisely fulfilled today."
Collins says there is 'overwhelming evidence' proving the modern nations of the 10 tribes of Israel are the Anglo-American, Scandinavian and many mainland European nations.
"It is gratifying to see that a well-known American media personality now has many of these important truths as well. Perhaps we are reaching the time when it is God's will for this truth to become widely known in the modern nations. Such an awareness would revolutionize global geopolitics, to say the least."
There are many who disagree with the theory.

3. Chaim Hyman: Let Glenn Beck Know About Brit-Am!
Chaim Hyman lives with his family in Jerusalem. He is a personal friend of ours and a veteran supporter of Brit-Am.
Glenn Beck is a well-known, very popular, patriotic, pro-Israel, American Media personality. Recently Glenn Beck has made known his belief that the Ten Tribes of Israel are represented by the USA people. This fits, or overlaps with, our own understanding which we have been publicly advocating in the State of Israel for more than thirty years.
Chaim Hyman intends to send an e-mail concerning Brit-Am/Hebrew nations to Glenn Beck. Chances are that Mr Beck is already aware of us but he may not be.
Sometimes matters that we assume to be obvious are the ones that get overlooked. Maybe Glenn Beck is just waiting to hear about Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations?
We have published books, thousands of articles, YouTube clips, and have a proven following, etc.
A few minutes perusing our web-site could be enough to gain us a valuable supporter.
Or not.
It is worth trying.
Chaim Hyman points out that he has no connection or acquaintance with Glenn Beck.
His email may go unnoticed or ignored.
There may be those amongst our subscribers who are better placed or simply, on this issue, a chance of being luckier?
Perhaps others could also try contacting Glenn beck on our behalf?

4. Dale Pitts: The Almighty will Protect Israel!
Re: Warning Against Gas Attack, New Year Message 5774
My prayers are with you my fellow Hebrew brother and all others who are "Children of the Covenant" of [the Almighty].
I have sent out an email for prayer for our people in the state of Israel that they have the victory of the enemies of [the Almighty] our Father and His chosen people, the Hebrew seed-line of Jacob-Israel.
The rest of the middle east can shoot,cut stab, and bomb themselves to oblivion if they chose but [the Almighty] will NOT allow His Chosen Ones to be destroyed!

5. Proverbs 17:18-19 An Example of Contradictory Understandings that complement each other.
Proverbs 17:
18 A man lacking heart [thoughtless] gives a pledge
[and] becomes surety for his neighbor.
19 One who loves transgression loves strife;
one who raises his threshold invites disaster.
loves transgression loves strife. The Hebrew syntax enables the expression to be understood both ways:
(1) Someone who loves strife and quarrels loves transgression and a (2) bad person who loves to sin will look for an excuse to quarrel.
his threshold. In Hebrew the word translated as "his threshold" is "pitcko" literally "his opening". It can also mean doorway or entrance. We agree that in this context the meaning is threshold. We would understand it to mean someone who places impediments or snobbery before he accepts the existence of others.
The Gaon of Vilna seems to understand it in the opposite sense. The Gaon says it means someone who opens himself up to all and sundry inviting evil people into his house.
The two messages complement each other:
(1) Be open towards others, accept them, do not create arbitrary barriers.
(2) Do not leave yourself vulnerable and exposed. Keep away from bad people and distance them from your home and family.
This applies to verse 17:19. The previous verse 17:18 also may be understood to embody this principle.
Do not be too trusting. But be fair.
On the personal level we may also understand the message to say: Be aware of picking quarrels with others because they are liable to result in additional transgressions. Anger takes you places you would not want to go.
