2.  Allen Ramsay: Less than 20% of US Population of Israelite Descent
Subject: Implications of the USA Being the Ten Tribes

RE: The Understanding of Glenn Beck Concerning the Lost Ten Tribes

If you research the racial groups that presently live in the USA, you would find it hard to find more than 20% of the population that could be considered of Israelitish decent. The land has been filled with non-Israelitish races and is now a form of Babylon. The demographics do not support your view.

When studying Bible prophecy, I don't see the USA present. I ponder over the following verse and if it applies to America.

Isaiah 22:
4 Therefore I said:
Look away from me,
 let me weep bitter tears;
do not try to comfort me
 for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

3. Meric from Turkey: A Clan from Gad Amongst the Alevis of Turkey?
Hi.

My name is Meric and I am 28 years old. I was born in Vienna and I am living right now in Switzerland. My parents came from Dersim. Dersim is a city in Turkey. Most of the people  in Dersim are Alevis. They say that our clan also hold to the Alevi religion but that cannot be true. Sure,  we are humanistic like the rest of the Alevis but we do not believe in Allah and Ali. Also we do not believe in the Kuran.
The strange thing is that the name of our clan is ARELI.
The clan is split  into two groups: One are the Usaniz,  the other one is the Aslaniz.
They say Usaniz means, "those who come from Huseyin".
Aslaniz means, "those who comes from the LION".
We are not Turks and also not Kurds. So please help. Who are we?
regards.

Brit-Am Reply:
This is interesting. I would suggest that you continue research. The Areli were a family clan within the Tribe of Gad (Genesis 46:16). Perhaps your clan came from outside but was grafted into another group? This is a common occurrence in different parts of the Middle East. Groups need to survive so small clans seek the protection of larger ones and them become identified with them.
God bless you

4.  Michael Dubuss: Compliments from Texas, USA

Shalom,

Your scholarship on this subject is without peer.  No contemporary researcher comes close to the scholarly works you are producing.

I am not trying to flatter you, I am merely stating a fact.

As you mentioned in one of your videos, the highest compliment that anyone can pay to a scholar is that others purchase and read his works. You will be seeing an order from me shortly. It is my desire to acquire your full catalog of works. In my opinion there is no more fascinating and important subject to study. I possess an undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies as well as an Executive MBA from the University of Texas.  Your works are a pleasure to read and your presentations on video and audio are clear, concise, and to the point.  You also display scholarly etiquette and tradition in that you always quote sources and provide credit to the authors whom you quote.

Although I have been quite interested in the subject of the Ten Tribes for many years (since 1986), I have only recently applied the research to my own Ancestry.

You might even say that my own family history is one of 'healing the breach' between the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.

My mother's family is 100% Irish... Her grandmother claimed kinship to Rose Fitzgerald, mother of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Rose Fitzgerald was also from County Limerick.  On a side note, I do not believe that it is any coincidence that Kennedy became President in that he may have descended directly from the line of Israelite Irish Kings.
 
My Father's family is [Jewish] Galician. ...
What may also be of interest to you is that my Galician great-great grandfather was a Captain in the Austrian cavalry. This is reminiscent of the Scythian or Khazar horsemen who displayed the fierce skill in battle of their ancestors from Dan or Judah.

Again, thank you for your time and courtesy and I look forward to supporting your work.  It is critical that this message be delivered to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. They must have this perspective in order to look at world events through the proper lens, so to speak. The prophet Hosea was inspired to write, "The people perish for lack of knowledge." There is no more critical knowledge for a people to have than where they come from and where they are going. Especially if they are that very special and peculiar people of the Living G_d.

Best Regards,

- Mike Dubuss

5.  Remarks by Steve Mathe Concerning Article on the Bible Codes and Australia

Steve Mathe wrote:

Hi Yair,

Am alerting you to a small addition to add to you page on the "Land of Sinim.  It will make the meaning more complete:

On your page: http://britam.org/Tribesman/CodesAustralia.html#4

the text says:

This expression in Genesis 4:14 in Hebrew "asater" i.e. "SHALL I BE HID" [Hebrew "aSater"] or "I will hide" in Bible Codes begins a sequence of 54 letters spelling the word "SINIM".
Sinim is the name in Hebrew for Australia!!!
See:
#2. SINIM= Australia, A Land of Exile.
http://www.britam.org/Tribesman/CodesAustralia.html#2

The meaning  is not apparent from the Hebrew name "Sinim." One just has to know the associated meaning. This indicates the Jerome must have consulted rabbinic authorities on the then known meaning of "Sinim." He gave the translation of it: "terra australi," meaning  land = terra southern = australi/s.  It is the equivalent of the modern name for Australia, "the land down/under."

In the Latin Vulgate by Jerome (CE 400), the text of Isa. 49:12 translated from the Hebrew is:

12 Ecce isti de longe venient,
et ecce illi ab aquilone et mari,
et isti de terra australi.

Thank you for your input. The following passage has been inserted into the article

Jerome (c. 347-420 CE) translated the Bible into Latin. He consulted with Rabbinical Sages.  Jerome is credited with preserving several now lost Rabbinical traditions.
See:
Daniel: Jewish influence on Jerome's translation and commentary by Jan Smeets
http://www.notredamedesion.org/en/dialogue_docs.php?a=3b&id=1120

Jerome translated the Hebrew term "Land of Sinim" (Isaiah 49:12)  as "terra australi"

The article itself is of great value but due to the complicated  nature of the evidence used we usually refrain from emphasizing the REAL EVIDENCE the Bible Codes do indeed give us.

6. YouTube Clip:
Yair Davidiy and Glenn Beck Compared
 Duration:  12. 47 minutes 

SINCE REMOVED


Recently Glenn Beck,  the political commentator and well-known Media personality, spoke of the Ten Tribes of Israel having gone to Western Europe.
He also spoke of the importance of Judah, meaning the Jews, having kept the Torah. Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations has spoken frequently along the same lines. We think the parallelisms to be of interest. We are hereby bringing you a few spliced clips from the talk given by Glenn Beck alongside a few by Yair Davidiy. The first section concerns the Ten Tribes in general. The second section compares what both personalities have said about Judah and the importance of Torah.

Note:
We have used a few brief segments from the talk by Mr Beck. We do not think there is a moral problem with this.  It was already in the Public Domain and had been expropriated by a third party. There should not be any trouble. In our opinion the Glenn Beck people should be pleased. It means extra publicity and a little extra exposure.
Nevertheless, you never know.  It might be taken down.
Whoever is interested in viewing this clip is therefore encouraged to do so ASAP.

7. Query on the Ezekiel Sticks used by Yair in Video Clips.
David Lindblad to Yair Davidiy
re Yair Davidiy and Glenn Beck Compared
http://youtu.be/SPY2_EHHGmg
Hello Yair! Thanks for your video comparing and contrasting Glen Beck's Views regarding the Ten Tribes and Judah, and the coming reunification of the Kingdom with your view. I was especially interested in your presentation of the Two Sticks prophecy from Ezekiel 37, and your visual using the physical sticks- very effective concrete learning tool. Do you have a source which makes these sticks available or sells them to the public?
Rev. David Rosebrugh Lindblad
