1. West Bank, Beitar Ilit, and the Domicile of Yair Davidiy.
Beitar Ilit is where Yair Davidiy lives at present.
Beitar is in the area of Judah near the southern portion of Jerusalem in the direction of Biblical Bethlehem the birth-place of King David.
80,000 Ultra-Orthodox Religious Jews, many English-speakers.
Mostly Hasidic (different smaller groups) but also many Mainstream Orthodox and Sephardim.
More children per family than any other place in Israel, possibly in the world.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2. Geography. The Territory of Beth-el of Benjamin and of Ephraim.
West of Jerusalem we meed the regions of Dan in the south and Ephraim in the north. Dan in the south also probably became part of Ephraim since Ephraim conquered it from the Canaanite Amorites after most of Dan moved to Dan in the Galilee and the to Dananu in the north.
The Dananu lived in the kingdom of Smal adjoining Yadi which was an enclave of Judah in what is today part of southeast Turkey.
Most of the Kingdom of Judah was in the south. The southern Half of the Kingdom of Judah belonged to Judah the northern half to Benjamin. The border ran through the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
North of Jerusalem we come to the territory of Beth-el that borders the Land of Ephraim to the north. There were two sections of Beth-el one section belonged to Benjamin and the other to Ephraim.
Ephraim was to the north. Shiloh in Ephraim was the site of the Tabernacle which preceded the Temple. Shiloh was in the territory of Ephraim.
The profile of mountains between Beit-el and Shiloh spell out, when seen by satellite, the sacred name GOD. and the name of Ephraim.
Tabernacle at Shiloh.
The Names begin at Beth-el and then spread northward into the Land of Ephraim.
Beth-el was on the border of Benjamin (Kingdom of Judah) and Ephraim (Kingdom of Israel).

3. The Names of the Almighty and of Ephraim. TESTIMONY IN ROCK ON THE MAP.
https://www.britam.org/testimonyinrock.html
Noticing the names on this picture was bought to our attention, as far as we remember, by Dell Griffin who attributed it to the web-site of Bible Researcher Vendyll Jones.
The picture itself is a satellite photo made into part of a popular tourist map. It seems that the authors of the map derived it from satellite photography and were not aware of the names that the picture showed.

4. Vendyl Jones and the Noachides.
Who was Vendyl Jones?
Vendyl Miller Jones (May 29, 1930 - December 27, 2010) was an American Noahide scholar who directed archaeological searches for biblical artifacts such as the Ark of the Covenant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendyl_Jones
He seems to have been one of the founders of the Noachide Movement.
The Noachides hold that non-Jews should keep the 7 basic laws that obligate all mankind.
They say that non-Jews do not have to convert to Judaism but should keep the basic laws given to all mankind who are all descended from Noah.
At first there were Adam and Eve who gave rise to all mankind.
Thbe people of the earth sinned.
The Almighty decided to destroy them be a Deluge.
Noah and his 4 sons and theiur wives were the only ones saved.
Noah built (over a 100 years) an enormous floating vessel (the "Ark") with 3 stories. Noah and his family along with male and female animals all entered the Ark and were saved from the flood.
From Noah descended all making alive today.
This was before the giving of the Torah in the time of Moses.
The Seven Noachides Laws are actually 7 basic principles according to which everybody is obliged to abide.
Here they are (according to Chabad):
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/62221/jewish/The-7-Noahide-Laws.htm
Extracts:
Do not profane G d's Oneness in any way.
Do not curse your Creator.
Do not murder.
Do not eat a limb of a still-living animal.
Do not steal.
Harness and channel the human libido. Incest, adultery, and homosexual relations are forbidden.
Establish courts of law and ensure justice in our world.
Not all Rabbinical authorities necessarily agree with the above but most probably do.
Yair Davidiy tends to prefer placing an emphasis on the Bible before anything else.
At all events,
Vendyl Jones was one of the first to publicize the Noachied Movement. He was active when Brit-Am was first starting up. He was then in Israel.
We spoke to him over the phone.
Vendyl Jones was not enthusiastic about what we told him. He did see any need for relating to the LTTs (Lost Ten Tribes).
As far as Vendyl was concerned there are Jews and there are non-Jews:
There was no need, he opined, to make further distinctions between Regular Gentiles and Gentiles descended from Israelites.
Vendyl Jones later became involved with the so-called "Sanhedrin" after its downgrading.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendyl_Jones
Brit-Am for its part knows that the question of Ephraim and the the LTTs (Lost Ten Tribes) is extremely important for understanding Scripture and needs to be made known.

5. The Names.
The words discernible from the topographical outline give the Name of God and the name Ephraim.
i.e.
The picture of the Name EPHRAIM included also the NAME of God just beside it but more to the south closer to Jerusalem.
The 2 names are in line with Jerusalem but the name EPHRAIM extends further to the north and is in the Tribal territory of Ephraim.
The name for God is a little indistinct whereas that for Ephraim is quite clear.
The aerial photograph requires a little effort to see the letters of Ephraim clearly. We have therefore shaded the outline using Photoshop.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6. The Letters. Canaanite Alphabet versus that of the Aramaeans. Which Came First?
The Letters of the names are those of Latter-day Hebrew after the time of Ezra and Nehemiah.
They are of Aramaean origin.
Archaeology shows that originally the Hebrews used the Canaanite Alphabet like the Phoenicians, Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, and others.
After returning from Babylon the Jews changed the alphabet they were using since other peoples around them were also using it.
These other peoples used the same letters but applied some of them differently, e.g. Just as today the Arabs pronounced "B" as "P" (Shakespeare becomes "Shakesbeer") so too were the other peoples pronouncing Canaanite Letters differently from the Hebrews. Since the Jews were a minority and in constant contact with other peoples there was a chance that they would accept the others pronunciation of the original letters.
The Aramaean Alphabet however had a universally accepted homogeneous applicability and so it was introduced in place of the Canaanite one.
( See a Hebrew-language article in the magazine "HaTsafira," Poland, probably ca. 1890s, Rosenfeld.
Among the Sages there also existed the opinion that the Hebrews had originally used the Aramaean Alphabet but later switched to the Canaanite one.
In the time of the Sages, the Aramaean Alphabet was in use throughout the Persian-Parthian Empire.

7. Searching for a Conclusion.
So what have we here?
The names of the Almighty and of Ephraim visible in the are of Ephraim in topographical outline from Satellite.
The Name of God slightly misspelled or obscured.
The name of Ephraim in the territory of Ephraim which is now considered that of the Palestinian Authority.
The names now visible and available to all thanks to astronomical photography for the first time in history, IN OUR TIME.
Why should the Almighty want it this way?
What could the message for us be from this?
Think about it.
