The DAILY PROOF: February 2012 5772 The DAILY PROOF: The Ten Tribes in the West. 14 February 2012, 21 Shevat 5772 The Prophet Hosea speaks of Ephraim in the End Times as being found primarily in the West. The Almighty says that Ephraim will not be destroyed (Hosea 11:9). The Exiles in the West will gather together to return (Hosea 11:1); The exiles who had initially been taken to Egypt and Assyria will return (Hosea 11:11). Though Ephraim will have adopted a false religion, Judah will remain faithful to the Faith of the Forefathers (Hosea 11:12). Ephraim will be like an eastwind which means a wind blowing from the east to the west (Hosea 12:1). This is a mistake. It is a turning away from the source. One of the places Isaiah lists as those were the Ten Tribes were take to is the Isles of the Sea meaning, in Hebrew, those of the West (Isaiah 11:11). Isaiah speaks of the Exiles of Israel being located in the West (Isaiah 24:14) and in the Isles of the Sea (Isaiah 24:15).

1. The Daily Proof: The Ancient West and North Europeans Called Themselves Hebrews! 16 February 2012, 23 Shevat 5772 The Ancient Israelites were called Hebrews (e.g. Genesis 14:13 Jonah 1:9 see also Genesis 39:14,17 41:12 Exodus 2:11,13 Deuteronomy 15:12, 1-Samuel 14:11, Jeremiah 34:9, etc). The Celts in Western Europe also called themselves Hebrews. Celtic Civilization stretched from Central Europe to the West reaching into the British Isles and Scandinavia. The Ethnic Initiators of Celtic Culture moved from the east westwards into Britain and Ireland. The term Celt is relatively modern. The peoples who in Ancient Times were the bearers and transmitters of Celtic Culture called themselves Iberi or Iverni. This name is reflected in the Ibernian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), Hibernia (Ireland), and the Hebrides Islands off the coast of Scotland as well as in hundreds of Place-Names throughout what was once Celtic Europe. The word we transliterate from Scripture as Hebrew is written as ABR (or IBR) and may have been pronounced as Ivri or Ibri (Iberi). This is the same as the Celtic Word for themselves. In Hebrew the word Ibri (Hebrew) connotes wanderer or outsider. It is related to the English words other and over. Several peoples in the west have names meaning wanderer. This is one of the meanings for the names of Scot (as in Scotland); the word Alban meaning Briton or Pict from Scotland also means wanderer; so does the word Fin (as in Finland); We therefore find that very many of those peoples of Ancient Western and Northern Europe whom we identify as from the Ten Tribes either called themselves a name that sounds the same as the Hebrew pronunciation of Hebrew or by a name that sounded differently but had the same meaning.

The DAILY PROOF: Ten Tribes to be Found at the Ends of the Earth. 21 February 2012, 28 Shevat 5772 The Land of Israel is at the Center of the Earth according to the Hebrew Bible (Ezekiel 38:12) . The word used for 'end' or 'ends' in Hebrew, in connection with ends of the earth and Israel, is usually "Katseh", or in plural "Kastvot". This word, when connected with the word for "Earth" (Aretz), can be associated everywhere it appears in the Bible with the Lost Tribes of Israel. Most nations that contain a significant portion of Israelite descendants are situated at the "ends of the earth" meaning the geographical extremities as measured from Jerusalem. This is how it was prophesied. Most of the "ends of the earth" belong to Israel. North America, the British Isles, Northwest Europe, Scandinavia, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, which all may be considered "ends of the earth", and in these areas most people of Israelite descent, from the Ten Tribes, are to be found. #Indeed He says, ‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’# [Isaiah 49:6]. cf. Isaiah 41:8-9 43:6; Deuteronomy 33: 13-17; When the prophecies are taken literally they say that the Lost Ten Tribes will be at the "ends" or geographical extremities of the Earth the point of reference being the Land of Israel at the center. All peoples identified in our studies as containing the main proportion of descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes do dwell at the geographical extremities of the earth when the Land of Israel is taken as the central point of reference.

New Feature. The DAILY PROOF: The Best Places on the Earth at the Ends of the Earth. 26 February 2012, 3 Adar 5772 The Land of Israel is at the Center of the Earth according to the Hebrew Bible (Ezekiel 38:12) . In our previous proofs we have traced the Lost Ten Tribes to the "ends" or Geographic Extremities of the Great Land Masses. This is just one proof out of very many others all of which must be considered as part of each other and complementing each other. Not only are the Lost Ten Tribes mostly to be found today at the Extremities ("Ends") of the Earth but the areas of their location are described as the most noble, exalted, or "best" places on Earth. 8 But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. 9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions [Hebrew: Atziliyah i.e. Best Parts], And said to you, You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away (Isaiah 41:8-9). The Environment does influence us. It affects our health, our national characteristics, our physical appearance, levels of energy, ability to concentrate, and numerous other factors. The Israelites received Blessings and also Tasks. The Ten Tribes had a Role of their own to play in world history. The areas they were placed in were those areas that would be conducive to fulfillment of the Hebrew National Obligations. http://britam.org/Proof/geo/geoBestEnds.html http://britam.org/Proof/geo/geoEnds.html |
