#4. Scotland Votes to Stay with Britain

Hello Yair,

It has been a week of prayer, fasting and anticipation all round the world building up to Scotland 's referendum which I think would have had a detrimental affect on the whole of the United Kingdom cascading to all the western nations had the outcome being a YES vote, and Scotland being a country completely seperated from the Union. How and to what effect is difficult to say but nevertheless would divide the strength of the UK, the Union of Jacob that was formed way back in 1801 ,and the thought of the years of building up the might of this Union that is regarded as one of God's Battle Axe nations Biblically, to vanish in a day because of an evil spirit that manifested itself in a few individuals but multipled by brainwashing the weaker minds among this nation is thought provoking to us as to what the unlearned of the Word of God can attempt to do in the name of ignorance,pride and evil. Furthermore we know this "Union" way back in Genesis 49 was to be known in the far distant future ,that is in the latter days as a GREAT NATION AND A COMPANY OF NATIONS ,and although only formed and recognised just over 200 years ago was definitely God ordained. God's has a hand in all world affairs and we thank him for stirring individuals hearts in Scotland that had the sense to weigh out the negatives of such a split,but wonder if this evil spirit would raise its ugly head again in the not too distant future to attempt another angle of onslaught against this Unity of nations, but more frightening will God allow this country to split in the future by handing over some individuals fleshy desires to show them how wrong they are and then salvage and mend this Union again to prove a point. Let us prayer these individuals would be old enough and retire soon,or just tire of such evil endeavours ,or better still be ousted in the next elections and replaced by wise godly men of old.

God bless you.

#1. Article About Nial

Dear Yair,

With deepest respect I'm rather tired of having explain about Niall of the Nine Hostages. The reason being that since they discovered that the ONeill related clans and tribes all have the same gene sequence, people still keeping going on about how the OReillys and OConnors by having this same gene sequence are descended from him.

The ORaghallaigh (aka OReilly's, ORiley, Riley, etc.), OConnors, O'Rourke's are all descended from Brian, Niall's older half brother. They have the same father, Eochaidh Muighmheadhoin so they all carry the same male gene sequence and that same gene sequence is found among those tribes, clans and septs descended from Cormac Mac Art, Conn Ceadchathach, Tuathal Teachtmhar, all ancestors of Niall of the Nine Hostages.

Equally the hand on the ONeill's coat of arms isn't the same hand found on the OReillys coat of arms. The hand on ONeill's coat of arms aka the Red Hand of Ulster is associated with the Irish king Lugaid Lamderg ('red hand'), son of Eochaid Uaircheas, son of Lugaid Iardonn, and so back to Eber Finn, son of Golamh (aka Mil Espaine).

The ONeills adopted Lugaid Lamderg's symbol even though they aren't descended from him, for they like the OReilly's, OConnors, O'Rourke's are descended from Eochaidh Muighmheadhoin, who is descended from such as Cormac Mac Art, Conn Ceadchathach, Tuathal Teachtmhar and so on back to Eireamhoin, son of Golamh (aka Mil Espaine).

The Red hand system appears on the Coat of Arms for County Cavan to signify that County Cavan is part of Ulster. Whilst the hand symbol on the ORaghallaigh coat of arms is natural colour with blood dripping from it. As a symbol it's unique to the Sept ORaghallaigh, it doesn't appear on any other coat of arms. Whilst according to fellow ORaghallaigh Sept members it symbolises Nuada, King of the Tuatha De Danann, who had his right hand severed by Sreng during a great battle with the Fomorians.

Look at the Niall gene sequence in relation to the official pedigrees and all you'll find it merely confirms that the pedigrees of the Milesian Gaels are exactly as the official pedigrees have all ways stated. All tracing back to the same common ancestor Golamh (aka Mil Espaine).

Yours Cliff

(a) YouTube Clip. Hebrew New Year
Duration: 11.36 minutes

The New Year in the Hebrew Calendar is a time for repentance and renewal. It gives us a new lease on life, a chance to do better. This is described in Scripture.
See: Rosh HaShana for You.
The Importance of Repentance at the Individual Level and Also Concerning the Ten Lost Tribes.
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/rs.html
===============================
(b) Article. Rosh HaShana for You.
Originally written in 2012 it has been slightly edited and updated and will be more pertinent than usual this week.
The Importance of Repentance at the Individual Level and Also Concerning the Ten Lost Tribes.
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/rs.html
[Posted in 2012 but containing some material from previous years.]

This week on sundown Wednesday 24th September begins the Hebrew New year. It continies through Thursday and Friday. This is the Feast of Rosh Hashanah i.e., the Hebrew New Year.
It is followed by the Sabbath. We shall be closing down from Wednesday Morning till Sunday Morning.

These days are important. The article about them is worth reading.

Extracts:

We all should repent, all the time. Some times are easier and more propitious than others. This is one of them. In this period we will be given a new chance to start anew.
This is good for each and every one of us and also for the peoples of Israel and Judah.

Each and every one of us is more important than we may realize. We can all make a change. God watches over us and wants our betterment and the better good of us and for us.

The God of Israel is our God.

In this period try not to argue with members of your family or with others, at least not overduly.
This may not be easy but it can usually be done.

Just as you (like everyone else) have probably thought or said things you would prefer the Almighty ignore so too do the same for what others may have said about or to you.

cf. Ecclesiastes 7:

20 For there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin.

21 Also do not take to heart everything people say,
Lest you hear your servant cursing you.

22 For many times, also, your own heart has known
That even you have cursed others.

If we make a beginning God will help us.

Malachi 3:7
"Return to Me, and I will return to you," Says the Lord of hosts.
i.e. Make a beginning and God will help you keep going.

Malachi in continuation speaks of the importance of tithes and offerings. This too, is a function of Repentance.

Rosh HaShannah begins on the first day of the month of Tishrei. This is actually the first day of the seventh month since the first month in Nissan, the month they went out of Egypt.

We therefore have two separate days both of which are considered a New Years Day only each one marks a different beginning.
One day is the official day on which the counting of months begins i.e. the first of Nissan in the Spring (Aviv).
The other day (in the seventh month) is a day of assembly, of blowing the shofar, and of remembrance.
This is Rosh HaShana or the New Year Day for the purpose of judgment.

Leviticus 23:
24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial [Hebrew: Shabaton-Zicaron] of blowing of trumpets [Hebrew: Truah i.e. shofar blowing], a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.

Concerning the Land of Israel we are told that it is,

Deuteronomy 11:
12 a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.

We thus have a beginning of the year and an end of the year.
This is connected with the overseeing of the Land by the Almighty.

During the Hebrew Feast Day of Rosh HaShana (New Year's Day)...the shofar is sounded a hundred times.
At the end of the upcoming holy day of Yom Kippur the shofar will also be sounded.
This is the month of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar and according to one tradition during this month the Ten Tribes will return.

[Isaiah 27:13] So it shall be in that day:
The great trumpet [Hebrew: Shofar] will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish [Hebrew: "Ovdim" also translatable as "they who were being lost"] in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt,
And shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

[Isaiah 58:1] 'Cry aloud, spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet [Hebrew: Shofar],;
Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins.

This is directed both to Israel and Judah.

Re Brit Am 2334 and Brit Am 2335
Extracts:

Shalom Yair, First of all, I want to wish you a very happy [belated] birthday. Yom Huledet Sameach! I am two years junior to you and know what it feels like to be a sextenarian [sounds kind of naughty]. Anyway, I wish to comment on Brit Am 2334 and Brit Am 2335. In Brit Am 2334, there was a question as to whether Yair is Jewish or Irish. Well, I would like to revisit a comment I made some years ago that was published in a Brit Am Truth magazine: In the Stone Edition Chumash commenting on Numbers 32:41 it says, "Yair, son of Manasesh-Yair was from the tribe of Judah and his grandmother was a daughter of Machir [1 Chronicles 2:21-22]. Apparently, Yair was regarded as an adopted member of the Machirite family [Ramban; Ibn Ezra;]. He was able to receive his heritage in the territory of Manasseh because only the land of Canaan was divided into exclusive tribal shares. Not so the land east of the Jordan [Ibn Ezra". Yair is unique in that he possesses both Jewish and Israelite blood, his mother being Jewish and his father undoubtedly of Israelite descent. Thus, he in a sense is a prophetic fulfillment of Ezekiel 37 where a branch of Judah and a branch of Ephraim are intertwined and joined together.

... YOU are the only person I know of who is truly and honestly doing research into the Lost Tribes of Israel. What I love about you and Brit Am is that the research being done has no hidden agendas, nor are you trying to deceive anyone. You are accommodating of those who do not hold to Orthodox Judaism and you are conciliatory in your comments. ...

I just wish that rather than trying to have a hidden agenda or trying to be something they are not, people here would concentrate on two things: First, I would like to see everyone focus on Israel and its defense from antisemites whether they be Aryans, Nazis, BDS movement people and of course, many Muslims as well as leftists. Israel is in for the fight of its life, at least in the court of world opinion. We should be advocating for Israel wherever we can. Second, I wish people would support Brit Am financially so that there could be more research as well as seeing it disseminated where it needs to be. Let's put aside who is what and instead, bring glory and honor to HaShem and to his Holy Word. Let's all be a light to the nations to bring about the full restoration of Israel, both in all its 12 tribes as well as its land allotment. We should be looking for ways to fight ISIS, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and any other group that threatens the integrity of
Israel. That means a lot of prayer, volunteering and financial giving.

I wish you all the best Yair as we enter year 5775. May this coming year bring you abundant health, prosperity, peace and all the blessings of HaShem. May 5775 be a year of massive growth in the mission of Brit Am so that the world may know that there is a G-d of Israel and that his Word is true. May HaShem's favor and grace rest upon you for you are a chosen vessel of the Almighty.

Shalom v'b'richot [Peace and Blessings] , Bill Rasmussen

5. New Article. Ephraimite Clarification by Eddie Chumney.
A Reply to Possible Misconceptions
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/eph/eddie3.html
To read complete article please go to above URL

Extracts:

Yair,

Whenever someone tells others what I believe or what I say, it is IMPORTANT to me that what I say or believe is ACCURATELY represented. This is also TORAH. Since my name was used in this note, I would appreciate if what I explain and try to clarify gets read by your list of followers. I feel as though what you said about how I represented the viewpoints of Ephraimites who believe in Yeshua as the Messiah gave the WRONG IMPRESSION to your audience because what you stated in your conclusion was done in a RELIGIOUSLY BIASED manner rather than presenting the facts in an even-handed way.

Ephraimites can RESPECT that you are Jewish and believe in Judaism. However, Judah does NOT give Ephraimites the same RESPECT in believing that Yeshua is the Messiah. Judah does NOT accept INDIVIDUAL Ephraimites claims as being part of the family of the house of Jacob.

....First of all, I have historically and I remain a supporter of Brit-Am. I endeavor to work with Brit-Am based upon COMMON GROUND (to show the heart of Joseph toward Judah). ... I pray that the Almighty will make it possible for us to continue to work together in the future.

I as well as MOST non-Jews on your list of over 2,000 people on your mailing list BELIEVE that Ephraim / Joseph settled and has historically lived among Western people including the USA. We ACCEPT this claim. It is NOT rejected. As evidence, we talked about it at great length in the interview that I did with you.

However, this is NOT accepted by Judah. It is JUDAH who REJECTS the claim and NOT Ephraimites. How so ? When an INDIVIDUAL comes to Judah and says, "I BELIEVE that I am an Ephraimite as our people have lived historically among Western people" then Judah says we DON'T accept this. Because Judah says that we DON'T accept this then Judah says that Ephraim needs to CONVERT. ...even if Ephraim accepts the "academic" claims of Brit-Am (which they should) then it has no PRACTICAL value when Judah will NOT FORMALLY accept Ephraim as his PHYSICAL BROTHER without IMPOSING a religious bias to the formal acceptance.

Ephraim wants to BELIEVE the claims that INDIVIDUAL Ephraimites are living among Western peoples and ACT upon it (do something PRACTICAL like following Torah and living with Judah in the land of Israel) BUT Judah wants you to BELIEVE the claim of historical physical migration and other things yet NOT act upon it. Believe and NOT doing (acting upon it) is AGAINST what the Torah teaches as Abraham believed AND acted upon what he believed.

While there is AMPLE EVIDENCE (as we discussed when I interviewed you) that Ephraim IS living among Western people including the USA and ARE practicing Christianity then BECAUSE they believe that Yeshua is the Messiah then the ACCEPTANCE of brotherhood is REJECTED by Judah. So, THIS is the ISSUE and Judah DEMANDS that this be an issue. However, Biblical "Christianity" IS to follow the Torah as Yeshua taught His disciples and a believer in Him should do so (I John 2:6). In fact, Yeshua's "great commission" in Matthew 28:18-20 is to teach TORAH to the ENTIRE WORLD. In fact, teaching TORAH to the ENTIRE WORLD is something that Judah REJECTS doing (as they say Torah should just be taught to Jews) even though this WILL be fulfilled in the Messianic Era (Isaiah 2:3).

.... EVEN Brit-Am advocates that to be FULLY ACCEPTED as a BROTHER in the family then ultimately (in the full process of things) then that individual should CONVERT (which is the Orthodox Rabbinic Jewish teaching and accepted view on the matter).

....In fact, in the Midrash, the Rabbis say that only about 20% of the physical descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob actually did put the blood of the Lamb upon the doorpost. I don't know the exact percentage but it was less than 100%. So, being a physical descendent of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob was not THE qualification to be redeemed out of Egypt. What was THE requirement ? Regardless of whether you were a physical descendent of Abraham, Isaac or Jacob or a native born Egyptian, what was REQUIRED to be redeemed out of Egypt was to BELIEVE the PROMISE made by the God of Israel through Moses and put the blood of the Lamb on the doorpost. The native born Egyptians who DID do this did NOT go through a "Rabbinic Jewish conversion" to be a member of the family of Jacob. Obviously, Rabbinic Judaism did NOT exist when the children of Israel were living in Egypt. So, this is not an Ephraimite "belief in their own doctrine" (as your say) but this is a TORAH FACT. So, when an Ephraimite chooses to BELIEVE the Torah why does Judah make it a RELIGIOUS ISSUE and say that this is "your own doctrine" ? How does this help reunification ?

If you want to END the exile then Judah should say, "Ephraim MY BROTHER" sees some things religiously different from Judah and we will NOT cause our RELIGIOUS difference to interfere with our PHYSICAL BROTHERHOOD.

KJV Isaiah 11:13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the
adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy
Judah, and JDUAH shall not VEX EPHRAIM.

Knowing that this is the case, why does JUDAH INSIST upon VEXING EPHRAIM ? Does Judah LOVE being in exile or does JUDAH want to be reunited with his brother and END the exile by expressing a desire to show MUTUAL RESPECT to Ephraim ? THAT is the real issue because Ephraim ACCEPTS that he has lived and is living among Western peoples including the USA.

Since you used my name in this article (and you gave a NEGATIVE IMPRESSION to the mind of your audience toward Ephraim's attitude toward accepting that Ephraim has historically lived among Western people AND you left out (ignored) mentioning the CONTEXT and MAJOR points of the context what I wrote to you in a previous note and thus gave a NEGATIVE IMPRESSION to your audience about the issue), I would appreciate if you would share the FULL CONTEXT of what I am now trying to say and clarify this to your mailing list. ...

Yours for the reunification of Ephraim and Judah,

Eddie Chumney

Judah (the Jews) and Israel, meaning the Ten Tribes, each had their own separate tasks to fulfill. They shall be judged as to how they carried out their own individual roles. What applies to the two sections of the Israelite Nations is also applicable to every single one of us at the individual level.
