1. Stephen Spykerman: Reply to Wayne on Heraldry

Re Comments by Wayne Lawrence in Brit Am Now 946

I really feel I cannot allow Wayne's comments to go unchallenged. Wayne states that there is no evidence heraldic or otherwise that the Netherlands are Zebulon, or that Reuben is France. In saying this he is clearly betraying his ignorance of the subject, as I personally could provide him with at least forty pages of evidence including heraldic evidence that the Netherlands are indeed Zebulon, and that France is dominated by the tribe of Reuben - including lots of heraldic evidence. I am also pretty sure that a number of other researchers on the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel including our very own Yair Davidiy could provide a similar amount of evidence if not more so.

Wayne really betrays his utter ignorance of the subject by stating that the heraldic evidence is lacking in the case of Ephraim being equated with England. He calls it pure speculation and goes on to say that England never had the unicorn or the bull in its heraldry. Having specialised in English heraldry, I can confirm that there are no less than thirty heraldic symbols, emblems or devices in English heraldry which directly point to the prophetic utterances by Jacob and Moses respectively. The unicorn is in fact one of the main supporters of the Royal-Coat-of-Arms of the United Kingdom, whereas the other supporter is the Lion of Judah. The unicorn is invariably featured as being chained to the ground signifying her continued captivity in the Diaspora. The arms also most prominently feature the Harp of King David, as well as the triple Lion of Judah. The Tudor Rose with its ten petals is a symbol of the Ten Tribes. The famous motto of the Royal Arms  is "Dieu et Mon Droit" - literally meaning "God and my (birth) Right" - a clear reference to Joseph's birthright.

Wayne's statement about the bull never having featured in Englands heraldry, I can say that England is in the vernacular commonly known as JOHN BULL and is also known as the Bulldog breed. One of the most common names for a pub in England is 'THE BULL.' I never counted them but there must be at least several thousand of them if not more. Furthermore, one of the main side gates of Buckingham Palace most prominently features a large golden bull. In Westminster Abbey many of the most ornate monumental graves of the great aristocratic families of England feature a multiple bulls and obelisks - all of them pointing to Ephraim - the primary birthright son of Joseph.

In view of the above, my advise to Wayne is; that if you do not know what you are talking about, it is best not to speak!

Yair, I trust this puts the record straight, and thank you for allowing me a response.

May HaShem continue to bless the work of your hands.

Shalom

2. Winston Churchill:
 Ancient Israelites "not so very different from ourselves"
<<We may believe that they happened to people not so very different from ourselves, and that the impressions those people received were faithfully recorded and have been transmitted across the centuries with far more accuracy than many of the telegraphed accounts we read of the goings-on of to-day. In the words of a forgotten work of Mr. Gladstone, we rest with assurance upon ' The impreg?nable rock of Holy Scripture.'>>
