1. The proposed message to be sent out
Below is a draft of the message we propose to send. We were aiming for
something that would speak to both Judah and Joseph instead of having
different messages.
Please send us your reactions and comments.
DID YOU KNOW THAT:
According to the Bible ten out of the twelve tribes of Israel split away
(2-Kings 12:19), formed their own kingdom of "Israel" (2-Kings 12:20) and
were exiled by the Assyrians (2-Kings 17:18). They forget their identity
(Hosea 1:9 7:8 Isaiah 49:21) and became the Lost Ten Tribes. In the future
they will re-unite with the Jews (Ezekiel 37, Isaiah 11:13 Jeremiah 3:18)
of "Judah" but until then they have a role of their own to fulfill. They
were destined to be situated at the continental extremities of the earth
such as North America, the British Isles, Scandinavia, the Netherlands,
Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa (Deuteronomy 33:13 Isaiah
24:16 26:15 41:8-9 49:6), to be the richest (Genesis 27:28 49:25
Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8), and most powerful nations on earth
(Numbers 24:8-7 Micah 5:7-9) and to control major international strategic
bases (Genesis 22:16-17 24:60). All of these points together with hundreds
of others taken as a complementary whole show that the descendants of the
Lost Ten Tribes can only be found amongst Western Nations especially the
English-speaking ones. Your destiny and that of your people may depend upon
this information. You need to know. The correctness of our interpretation
of the relevant verses is confirmed by the Taanach in the light of
traditional Jewish Rabbinical sources and by the findings of up-to-date
historical and scientific research. Whether the Jewish people like it or
not the destiny of Judah is wound up with that of Joseph meaning of the
Lost Ten Tribes as a whole. Both sides have to realize that they have a
need for each other and an obligation to help the other. We can provide you
with proof that the "Anglo" nations are descended from Israel. They are the
lost brothers of the Jewish people. You only need to consider this
information. It could make a difference.

3. Future Biblically-predicted Expulsion of Palestinian Arabs from the
Land of Israel
Isaiah 11:12] HE WILL RAISE AN ENSIGN FOR THE NATIONS, AND WILL ASSEMBLE
THE OUTCASTS OF ISRAEL, AND GATHER THE DISPERSED OF JUDAH FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
OUTCASTS OF ISRAEL, = The Lost Ten Tribes who will be found gathered
together in specific areas.
THE DISPERSED OF JUDAH i.e. the Jews who are scattered all over the world.
[Isaiah 11:13] THE JEALOUSY OF EPHRAIM SHALL DEPART, AND THOSE WHO HARASS
JUDAH SHALL BE CUT OFF; EPHRAIM SHALL NOT BE JEALOUS OF JUDAH, AND JUDAH
SHALL NOT HARASS EPHRAIM.
<<Concerning who did Isaiah pronounce this prophecy. He was speaking only
concerning Judah and Joseph. Said Rabbi Shmuel son of Nachman in the name
of Rabbi Yonathan, when Joseph and Judah were arguing the Holy Angels said
to each other, Let us go down and see what is happening. Usually when a
bull and a lion confront each other the bull retreats before the lion. In
this case a bull (Joseph) and a lion (Judah) are arguing and there is a
standoff. Jealousy will continue to abide between these two until the
Messiah comes, as it says, THE ENVY ALSO OF EPHRAIM SHALL DEPART, AND THE
ADVERSARIES OF JUDAH SHALL BE CUT OFF: EPHRAIM SHALL NOT ENVY JUDAH, AND
JUDAH SHALL NOT VEX EPHRAIM [Isaiah 11:13].>> (Tanchuma, VaYigash, 4).
<<In the past Jeroboam the son of Nebat who was from Ephraim hated King
Rehoboam who was from Judah. There was a controversy between them. In the
future there will be peace between these two anointed leaders. They will
not be jealous of each other. Concerning them, it says, THE ENVY ALSO OF
EPHRAIM SHALL DEPART, AND THE ADVERSARIES OF JUDAH SHALL BE CUT OFF:
EPHRAIM SHALL NOT ENVY JUDAH, AND JUDAH SHALL NOT VEX EPHRAIM [Isaiah
11:13].>> (Brayshit Rabati page 147).
<<Everywhere you find these two tribes (Judah and Joseph) hating each other
and antagonistic to each other, etc. May we infer from this that even the
future Anointed Captain of War who will arise from Joseph and the Annoited
Messiah who will arise from Judah will (Heaven forbid) be jealous of each
other? No. There will be no antagonism between them, as it says, THE ENVY
ALSO OF EPHRAIM SHALL DEPART, AND THE ADVERSARIES OF JUDAH SHALL BE CUT
OFF: EPHRAIM SHALL NOT ENVY JUDAH, AND JUDAH SHALL NOT VEX EPHRAIM [Isaiah
11:13].>> (Agadat Brayshit 63).
EPHRAIM represents all the Ten Tribes.
WHO HARASS JUDAH SHALL BE CUT OFF: Anti-Semites will be punished.
EPHRAIM SHALL NOT BE JEALOUS OF JUDAH: A lot of anti-Semitism is due to
jealousy.
JUDAH SHALL NOT HARASS EPHRAIM: Jewish do-gooders and hyper-active
individuals etc sometimes antagonize other people.
This verse speaks of Ephraim (the Ten Tribes) and Judah (the Jews) as
remaining separate entities sometimes antagonistic to each other right up o
the end times.
[Isaiah 11:14] BUT THEY SHALL SWOOP DOWN UPON THE SHOULDER OF THE
PHILISTINES IN THE WEST, AND TOGETHER THEY SHALL PLUNDER THE PEOPLE OF THE
EAST. THEY SHALL PUT FORTH THEIR HAND AGAINST EDOM AND MOAB, AND THE
AMMONITES SHALL OBEY THEM.
The above verse (Isaiah 11;14) concerning the Philistines as
it has been translated (in the KJ and Orthodox Jewish "Koren" translation)
is consistent with the simple Hebrew and with the context. Nevertheless,
one of the intricacies of Biblical Hebrew is that often words and
expressions may intentionally have more than one meaning.
Instead of:
BUT THEY SHALL SWOOP DOWN UPON THE SHOULDER OF THE PHILISTINES IN THE WEST
In this case the Hebrew may also be understood as saying,
"THEY SHALL [Ephraim and Judah together] FLY THE PHILISTINES [Palestinians]
AWAY WESTWARD
The Hebrew says: "VeAFU BeCeTeF PLiSHTIM YaMaH..", i.e. word for word:
"[veafu] And they will fly ((or cause to be flown)) [becetef] by wing
[Plishtim] Phillistines [yama] towards the Sea ((or Towards the west)) ":
. i.e. The Palestinians shall be transported elsewhere by air flight
"towards the sea", to somewhere in the west, perhaps to North Africa or to
South America or even just to Egypt. Not only does Scripture and its
connected tradition identify modern nations with their ancestral
counterparts, the Bible also indicates the final outcome of ancestral
struggles that were begun long ago.
4. Brit-Am Ally in Holland
From: rein <malper-tuus@hetnet.nl>
Subject: allies etc.
Shalom Yair,
Last week I read in your post that you called (some) Christians in the
United States your only allies (I did read it very fast so maybe I missed
something) I disagree with that. I mean that although we are with so little
you have some allies in the Netherlands who do think what you do.
Second, I collect your mail-letters and give them to others, I print them
out for people who don't have a computer and I'll tell people about your
web-site. I don't reach thousands, hundreds or even tens but it is something,
greetings,
rein van Ekeren

5. Web Site on Lost Tribes
The (United Church of God) has a site dealing with the Lost Ten Tribes from
a Christian perspective.
In the past they acknowledged the works of Yair Davidiy as a source of
information. This time they seem not to have done so even though it would
appear that they relied (AS before) heavily on references that we were the
first to employ. It does not really matter. It is all part of the game. A
third party has indicated that we may now be considered too "Jewish" to be
closely identified with.
At least in some areas we are having an effect.
Their site does contain information worth knowing and valuable points that
we did not mention.. The chapters on the Celts are especially useful.
See
<http://www.ucgstp.org/lit/booklets/usbbp/ch4links.html>http://www.ucgstp.org/lit/booklets/usbbp/ch4links.html
also:
http://www.ucgstp.org/lit/booklets/usbbp/ch4discoveries.html
Everyone who does research on this subject comes up with valuable information.
This is a much by virtue of the subject as that of the researcher. We all
have our own style
and our own ability to sense information of value.
Together with this we still consider Brit-Am publications to be the best
works on the subject.
"The Tribes" especially is important and should be available some time
after Succot.
6. A Common Ancestor 3,500 years ago?
Compare Biblical Indications: Man created 5,765 years ago.
Lost Ten Tribes exiled about 2,740 years ago.
Story from news@nature.com:
http://news.nature.com//news/2004/040927/040927-10.html

Human populations are tightly interwoven
Michael Hopkin
Family tree shows our common ancestor lived just 3,500 years ago.
The person from whom everyone today is descended may have lived around
1,500 BC.
The most recent common ancestor of all humanity lived just a few thousand
years ago, according to a computer model of our family tree. Researchers
have calculated that the mystery person, from whom everyone alive today is
directly descended, probably lived around 1,500 BC in eastern Asia.
Douglas Rohde of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and
his colleagues devised the computer program to simulate the migration and
breeding of humans across the world. By estimating how different groups
intermingle, the researchers built up a picture of how tightly the world's
ancestral lines are linked.
The figure of 1,500 BC might sound surprisingly recent. But think how wide
your own family tree would be if you extended it back that far. Lurking
somewhere in your many hundreds of ancestors at that date is likely to be
somebody who crops up in the corresponding family tree for anyone alive in
2004.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that oceans helped to keep populations
apart, the human race would have mingled even more freely, the researchers
argue. "The most recent common ancestor for a randomly mating population
would have lived in the very recent past," they write in this week's Nature1.
Striking out
To work out how much different groups of humans mingled, Rohde's team
simulated the rates at which a few pioneering people made journeys across
the world to meet and breed with other populations. Their model gave each
individual a certain probability of quitting their home town, country or
continent and striking out for pastures new.
They were then able to name a time and place at which our most recent
common ancestor lived. But who was this person? He or she must have had a
flourishing family, says Rohde. "Maybe it was someone who happened to have
40 children or some such astronomical number," he says. "But it could
equally have been someone with above-average productivity for a few
generations." Instead of two kids, Rohde suggests, maybe the person and his
or her direct descendants had three.
The fact that the person probably lived in Asia is down to its prime
position along the most commonly used migration routes, Rohde suggests.
"East Asia is at a crossroads," he says. "It's close to the Bering Strait
and the Pacific."
No isolation
Rohde's simulation aims to include everyone alive today, and therefore
relies on the assumption that no population has remained completely
isolated for any significant length of time. Rohde is confident that this
is the case; even Tasmania, once thought to be isolated by choppy seas,
contains no people with purely Tasmanian blood.
If we discount those living in the world's remotest places, the common
ancestor becomes more recent still, says Mark Humphrys, who studies human
family trees at Dublin City University in Ireland. "Looking at the whole
sweep of the Americas, Europe, Asia, right across to Japan, I wouldn't be
surprised if we had a common ancestor in the AD years," he says.
A single prolific parent can have a vast influence once their descendants
begin to multiply, Humphrys says. "The entire Western world is descended
from Charlemagne, for example," he says. "There's really no doubt."
All or nothing
Besides dating our most recent common ancestor, Rohde's team also
calculates that in 5,400 BC everyone alive was either an ancestor of all of
humanity, or of nobody alive today. The researchers call this the
'identical ancestors' point: the time before which all the family trees of
people today are composed of exactly the same individuals.
This recent date is not really surprising either, Rohde says. Anyone whose
lineage survived for a few generations was likely to have descendants
spread all over the world. At the identical ancestors point, then, our
ancestors came from every corner of the globe, although those from far
afield are unlikely to have made a significant contribution to our genetic
make-up.
Nonetheless, the results show that we are one big family, Rohde says. As he
and his colleagues write: "No matter the languages we speak or the colour
of our skin, we share ancestors with those who planted rice on the banks of
the Yangtze, who first domesticated horses on the steppes of the Ukraine,
who hunted giant sloths in the forests of North and South America, and who
laboured to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu."

This idea was promoted recently by someone who based himself on the Cohen
DNA marker.
This marker is found amongst around 50% of the Cohen (Priestly) families in
Jewish communities
throughout the world.
It is also the predominant marker in Hungary and in South and Central Italy.
According to DNA all males in these areas would derive from the same common
ancestor as
the Cohen families amongst the Jewish people do.
We do not accept these findings as represented but agree that they require
research and explanation.
A lot of Jews may well have been assimilated in various regions of Italy.
In "The Tribes" we speak of this possibility.
Even so none of these regions are dominated by descendants of Israel
according to our findings.
