#1. Henry Rhea: Racial Prejudice Forbidden
Subject: Henry Rhea, Excellent letter, "Racial Prejudice Forbidden"
I always look forward to reading Brit-Am Now writings. I believe you are doing
a very positive, productive work. Henry Rhea's letter on "Racial Prejudice
Forbidden" was excellent. I understand some things about judgment. We can
examine this for ourselves. You will see that as soon as you judge someone as
not ok for some reason, you stop your flow of love to them. At this moment, I
believe we also put up a block that stops the flow of love from Creator to us.
Interesting thought. If we judge others as not ok, it is ourselves that we hurt
the most! Warm thoughts, Dottie

#1. Henry Rhea: Racial Prejudice Forbidden
Henry Rhea said:
<<There is, in fact, no such thing as
race,
in the context which we find it used so often today.
I agree with you on that. Race is not the word. BREED is the word that should
more correctly be used. Breed, referring to subgroups of a species, is the word
that would accurately describe africans, asians, hispanics, Europeans, etc...
When Hashem told Israel in Deuteronomy chapters 7 AND 14 that they were strictly
not allowed to intermarry with the other people of the world, I suppose He was
misunderstood? Perhaps Moses, being over 80 years of age, was having a touch of
alzheimer's and didn't write it down correctly?
And later on, when Hashem killed over TWENTY THOUSAND of the Israelites because
Zimri brought Cozbi into the camp of Israel as his consort, I suppose that was
inserted into the scriptures by some racist who wanted to twist the Tanach
around to fit his own preconceived ideas?
And let's not forget Moses and his ethiopian woman... And Hashem did not say
that MOSES HAD DONE NO WRONG...He only asked how they could question Moses, who
speaks face to face with Hashem.
I'd rather be inbred than INTERBRED. Study animal husbandry. The least
valuable animals are those that are randomly interbred. The most valuable are
those whose ancestry can be verified as not having blood from any other "breed".
All dogs, large and small, can interbreed. So can all horses. All bovine can
interbreed. But that does not mean that they are THE SAME. The fact that all
the various breeds of human can interbreed means only one thing: We are
genetically similar.
I do not look with contempt upon the other people of the earth. Far from it.
I live near Selma, Alabama. I was born within 1/2 mile of the famous bridge
from Bloody Sunday. I am outnumbered probably 5 to 1 by nonwhites. And I am
quite happy here. I do not have any conflicts with them, even though I often
wear a baseball cap that says "British Israelite". There is a community of
black muslims here in Selma, and we have delightful exchanges where we have
found that our beliefs are amazingly similar. (They believe that all white
people are Jews, which isn't exactly correct, but close enough for government
work...hahah!!!)
It is not the exact quote, but if I may plaigiariize a bit...."May Hashem judge
between thee and me". I am convinced that the modern day "white" people are the
long-lost brothers of the Jews.

3. Brit-Am Opinion:
Interracial
Marriage etc- A thought
When I was young I had to have at least one tooth removed because my jaw
was too small for my teeth.
[At present I have hardly any teeth left so it no longer matters!]
The dentist said that evidently I had inherited the jaw from one side and the
teeth from another.
Maybe the dentist was wrong? Other factors could be involved.
They say that a baby that is not breast fed long enough may have less developed
jaws.
At all events suppose the dentist was right. Even if he was not right other
factors do hold.
Intermarriage may not be something to condemn but neither is it necessarily to
be encouraged.
We have used the example of the Pygmy from New Guinea marrying an Eskimo before.

#4. DNA, Racial Connections, the Jews, and anti-Semitism
The upshot is the same.
On the one hand,
Inreracial marriage on the individual level is not necessarily to be condemned.
See our article
"The Black Woman"
Color Prejudice Forbidden
http://www.britam.org/CushiteWoman.html
On the other hand the Bible DOES condemn Israelites for marrying other
peoples.
The reason that is given is that these other peoples were liable to lead the
Israelites into idolatry
but heredity factors may also have been involved.
Statistically most people get on better with others who are most like unto
themselves.

Reflections.
Yair shalom,
Glad to hear you had the opportunity to attend meeting to hear Pastor John Hagee
speak and were not offended.
He is one of the few preachers who 'tell it like it is' not concerned about
being politically correct.I see him at 6:30AM any week-day . His life has been
threatened more than once because of his strong stand and support for Israel.
God bless you,Diane

Brit-Am Comment on North America Being Promised to Abraham
From: thomas malloy <temalloy@usfamily.net>
Re: Brit-Am Now no. 1124
http://www.britam.org/now/1124Now.html#Fred
#3. Fred Hendrickson: Was North America promised to Abraham?
The article Was North America promised to Abraham? was interesting. I was
expecting a comment.
Brit-Am Comment:
Abraham was promised that his seed would inherit the Lands of the 10 Ten Nations
of Canaan.
When the Israelites later entered the Promised Land they in effect dispossessed
only 7 nations.
The question is, What Happened to the other three?
The curse of Canaan:
[Genesis 9:24] AND NOAH AWOKE FROM HIS WINE, AND KNEW WHAT HIS YOUNGER
SON HAD DONE UNTO HIM.
[Genesis 9:25] AND HE SAID, CURSED BE CANAAN; A SERVANT OF SERVANTS SHALL HE BE
UNTO HIS BRETHREN.
The Descendants of Canaan:
[Genesis 10:15] AND CANAAN BEGAT SIDON HIS FIRST BORN, AND HETH,
[Genesis 10:16] AND THE JEBUSITE, AND THE AMORITE, AND THE GIRGASITE,
[Genesis 10:17] AND THE HIVITE, AND THE ARKITE, AND THE SINITE,
[Genesis 10:18] AND THE ARVADITE, AND THE ZEMARITE, AND THE HAMATHITE: AND
AFTERWARD WERE THE FAMILIES OF THE CANAANITES SPREAD ABROAD.
[Genesis 10:19] AND THE BORDER OF THE CANAANITES WAS FROM SIDON, AS THOU COMEST
TO GERAR, UNTO GAZA; AS THOU GOEST, UNTO SODOM, AND GOMORRAH, AND ADMAH, AND
ZEBOIM, EVEN UNTO LASHA.
The Descendants of Canaan were:
Canaan
Sidon
Heth
Jebusite
Amorite
Girgasite
Hivite
Arkite
Sinite
Arvadite
Zemarite
Hamathite
Here we have Twelve Names mentioned. Canaan gave rise to twelve sons parallel to
the 12 Tribes of Israel.
"Canaan" according to tradition is both the name of the whole people as well as
that of a major tribe amongst the people.
The Ten Tribes of Canaan Promised to
Abraham:
[Genesis 15:18] IN THE SAME DAY THE LORD MADE A COVENANT WITH ABRAM,
SAYING, UNTO THY SEED HAVE I GIVEN THIS LAND, FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT UNTO THE
GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER EUPHRATES:
[Genesis 15:19] THE KENITES, AND THE KENIZZITES, AND THE KADMONITES,
[Genesis 15:20] AND THE HITTITES, AND THE PERIZZITES, AND THE REPHAIMS,
[Genesis 15:21] AND THE AMORITES, AND THE CANAANITES, AND THE GIRGASHITES, AND
THE JEBUSITES.
These ten nations with the names of ancestors in Brackets were:
Kenites
Kenizzites
Kadmonites
Hittites (Heth)
Perizzites
Rephaims
Amorites (Amorite)
Canaanites
Girgashites (Girgasite)
Jebusites (Jebusite)
(1) We have Arkite, Hivite, Sinite, Arvadite, Zemarite, Hamathite.
(2) These are Parallel to Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Perizzites, Rephaims,
Sidonites.
We do not know for sure which of those listed in line (1) are identical to those
which of the specific nations in line (2)
only that they do match each other.
Rephaim and Hivites appear to be interchangeable with each other.
<<Rabbi Dostai in the name of Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachman said, Since it is not
mentioned here
(Genesis 15:18-21) the Hivites the Rephaim are recalled in their place (Gen Rab
44:23).
From Line (2)
The Perizzites and Rephaims were to be found in the Land of Canaan in the Land
of Joseph (Joshua 17:16)
and also east of the Jordan.
The Sidonites became the Phoenicians of Sidon and probably also of Tyre.
This leaves the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites in line (2) unaccounted for.
These probably parallel (in line 1) the Sinite, Zemarite, and Arkite though we
are not certain.
We see from the above (Genesis 15:18) that the promise to Abraham as far as the
Canaanites were concerned is linked to the Land
which stretches from the Nile River to the Euphrates.
Only Seven Nations Were Promised to
Israel Under Moses:
Later we find that the Israelites when they came out of Egypt were
promised to possess the land of only SEVEN nations of
Canaan:
[Exodus 3:17] AND I HAVE SAID, I WILL BRING YOU UP OUT OF THE AFFLICTION OF
EGYPT UNTO THE LAND OF THE CANAANITES, AND THE HITTITES, AND THE AMORITES, AND
THE PERIZZITES, AND THE HIVITES, AND THE JEBUSITES, UNTO A LAND FLOWING WITH
MILK AND HONEY.
We see from the above that seven nations of Canaan were promised to Moses
whereas ten nations had been promised to Abraham (Genesis 15:19-21)
and also that there had been 12 nations altogether.
The missing nations are:
THE KENITES, AND THE KENIZZITES, AND THE KADMONITES [Genesis 15:19].
The Kenites dwelt in the south and in the Land of Midian. Jethro was one of them
and some of them converted
and joined the Israelites. Balaam prophesied about them as if their fate was
connected to that of Israel
and that they would be found with the Ten Tribes.
Numbers 24:22
http://britam.org/Moses/Moses-6.html
The Kennizites are identified by some (Daat Mikra) with the THE SONS OF SEIR
THE HORITE [Genesis 36:20]
who were partially exterminated and partially absorbed by the Edomites.
The Kadmonites dwelt to the east of the Euphrates.
We also know from other verses that it was predicted that the Israelites would
be in many waters
and possess numerous other lands. It was prophesied that Israelites would reach
unto the Ends of the
earth, be rulers of the waves, control all (or most) major strategic
thoroughfares, be in the isles, in Tserefat meaning Britain and France,
connected with the Atlantic Ocean and with Australia, and the North Country, be
a Brit-Am, etc, etc.
http://www.britam.org/Proof/ProofsIntro.html
We saw from the above that seven nations of Canaan were promised to Moses
)Exodus 3:17) whereas ten nations had been promised to Abraham (Genesis
15:19-21) and also that there had been 12 nations altogether (Genesis 10:15-19).
Those Canaanites Nations whom the Israelites conquered were wiped out, or
subjugated, or assimilated by Israelites, or fled or were driven out of Canaan.
There are traditions that the Girgashi and some of the Jebusi fled to North
Africa and that Canaanites went to Georgia in the Caucasus.
The Hivites have also been identified with Amerindian settlers of Mexico.
It has also been suggested that the Lands later conquered by the Ten Tribes were
those that Canaanites
had settled before them whether these Canaanites were the three extra nations
included in the Promise to Abraham
or descendants of the other seven who had fled overseas.
Brit-Am and similar groups identify Australia with the land of Sinim which
Isaiah predicted was one of the areas from
which the Ten tribes will return (Isaiah 49:9).
http://www.britam.org/Proof/geo/geoAustralia.html
The land of Sinim may be named after the "Sinim" (i.e. Sinites) who were one
of the Canaanite nations (Genesis 10:17).
Fred Hendrikson suggested that North America had once pertained to the KENITES,
AND THE KENIZZITES, AND THE KADMONITES.
There is evidence that some Israelites may have settled amongst the Amerindians
of North America.
There are also strong indications that both North and South America in Ancient
Times had had connections with the Middle East.
In Summary we may say that this is a subject worth examining and keeping in mind
whilst dong further research even though for the time being we cannot really
come to any unequivocal decision on the matter.
It is worth noting here that recently we
were sent a longish but interesting article claiming that the
Kenites,
Kenizites,
and Kadmonites
became the Chinese.
We did not publish it at the time for our own reasons and unfortunately have
since lost it and the name of its author has slipped our mind.
If the person concerned is reading this he may contact us and we will rectify
the matter.

6. What Does the
Midrash
say About the Kenites,
Kenizzites,
Kadmonites,
etc?
Supplementary to our study in item #5 above the Midrash also throws some
light on the subject
but from a different perspective.
Midrash Gen Rab 44:23
<< Rabbi
Chelbo
in the name of Rabbi Abba in the name of Rabbi
Yochanan
said, Originally the Almighty
intened
to bequeath the Children of Israel the Land of Ten Nations [including that of]
the Kennites,
the Kenizites,
and the
Kadmonites
(Genesis 15:18-21). In effect HE only gave them seven: The Hittites, the
Perizzites,
the Rephaim,
the Amorites, the Canaanites,
the Girgashites,
and the Jebusites.
There are only seven here...And which are these three that were not given to
them?
Rabbi said: the Arabs, Solymeia,
Noteia.
[Brit-Am: Arabs are Arabs, Solymeia were a people in central Turkey, Noteia were
a race of coastal seafarers.].
Rabbi
Shimeon
ben
Yochai
said: Darmascenes,
Asias,
Espamiah.
[Brit-Am: Darmascenes are Northern Syrians of that time, Asiya were a people in
central Northwest Turkey, Espamiah could refer to Spain].
Rabbi
Yaacov
said: Asia, Thrakia,
Cartagenia
[Brit-Am: Asia is probably another for for Asiya a people in central Northwest
Turkey, Thrakia is Thrace in Southeast Europe,
Cartagenia
is Carthage in present day Tripoli, North Africa].
The Rabbis said: Edom, Moab, and the First of the Sons of
Amon....
Kenazi
belongs to Esau [Edom], Kenites
and Kadmonites
became part of Ammon
and Moab.
In Conclusion: We may say that according to the Midrash opinion is divided.
All of the quoted opinions may have some pertinent truth in them.
All of the mentioned possibilities may be worth keeping in mind in case evidence
from other quarters
is seen to be correspond with them.

7. How can Pastor
Hagee
use Brit-Am Information?
Query:
We received the following question from our friend and Brit-Am supporter Raymond
Lee:
Pastor Hagee and others like him believe that if they accept (as they say they
are obliged to)
certain beliefs and codes of behavior they will be saved through Rapture or
Redemption.
Why then should Brit-Am and Israelites Identitiy beliefs make any difference to
them?
Brit-Am Reply:
It is not our task to interfere with whatever "beliefs and codes of
behavior"
anybody has.
It is true that our emphasis is concentrated on achieving Redemption in this
world
by working towards the Messianic Age.
We do not however deny Life in the Next World or anything else.
Our message is that:
They who are descended from Israelites (or identify with them) in our age
have certain obligations BEYOND THOSE OF OTHER PEOPLE.
These additional obligations are not to be ignored.
Fulfilling them bears an additional reward.
It would therefore behove they who are informed by Brit-Am that they are of
Israelite descent to prove it for
themselves, to accept and to act upon it.
Brit-Am tells Descendants of Israel that they are a Chosen people with
additional "executive" duties as well as
privileges.
Brit-Am is the "still small voice" that contains the truth.
[1-Kings 19:12] AND AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE A FIRE; BUT THE LORD WAS NOT IN THE
FIRE: AND AFTER THE FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE.
