1. Charlotte Mecklenburg: Experiences in the State of Israel
Thanks Yair, for the Bible commentary and for the news posted today.      
The one from the Jew that loves Evangelical Christians is heartening. I have been so impressed
from my studies that the biggest thing that is on the our G-d's agenda right now is the fulfillment of Psalm 133.
It is difficult for Jews to think God loving Christians are part of his household
and it is difficult for Christians to think that Jews who don't need our
savior can be in G-d's household and yet G-d is telling us that he is greater than those two
thoughts and that a house divided against itself will not stand. For us to accept one another
 for who and what we are even
when we can't understand will release such a powerful testimony and bring
such a unity of purpose that it will overwhelm the enemy of God. We had such heartwarming
dialog with Jews on our recent trip to Israel. We
were thrilled to see their faith and acting upon what God has asked them to
do. One lovely woman has faced insurmountable odds to work the land and encourage
others to keep working and building and she had a joy and light
in her face that spoke of the grace of God in her life. It truly was a blessing for us to meet
these dedicated Jews. They are easy to love and want to stand with them in their endeavors.
No, they do not want Christians
living with them, but I did not feel rebuffed. I know they have their reasons and we have to
allow each other space. But God in his time will continue to break down barriers that will bring
further understanding and
tolerance. There are some slim possibilities of Christians living there if
they want to buy a whole town from Muslims. The biggest problem is getting
into the country and the other is finding a place to send the Muslims. They
want to leave but no country wants them. However, Our G-d specializes in
impossibilities because they are his opportunities.
      Though Bush has not done it all right especially the overall Road map
to Peace which is one to destruction, he has pledged to be Israel's friend.
And he is the only one G-d can speak to and get through at the moment of
the world leaders.  We need to keep praying that the pressures of the world
leaders and thinking will not deter him from what he has to do and that he
will be opened to understand what he has to do. I do believe some of the
most important decisions for Israel and the U.S. are just around the corner.
      We too are thankful that G-d saw fit to have him elected again. It is
important for me to humble myself before G-d and pray, for our hands are
tied to do anything else except to love G-d and one another.      
A faithful reader,
Charlotte Mecklenburg


2. Deb : Ancestral Rambling
Dear Yair:

I surfed my way into your site through a webpage link listed under “Top
Conspiracy Sites” .  I have always been curious about genealogy and
where
my ancestry came from.   My maiden name is Dulude…..French Canadian –
specifically Quebec, originally from France and my father, who passed
away
at 43, said he did some tracing of roots said there is German in there
also
many moons ago and supposingly goes all the way back to Charlemagne.  I
have no written proof though.  My mother’s maiden name is Cone and
grandmother’s maiden name is McCall.  My great-great grandmother was a
pure-blooded Cherokee medicine woman.  The story goes that 3 brothers
came
over from Scotland – McCall and landed on the eastern seaboard of USA
and
first settled in North Carolina.  Supposingly the Cone name is Irish
but I
was, not too long ago, told by my cousin (my mother’s sister’s child)
that
there is some Jewish ancestry to that name. ….little did I know when I
told
this to my cousin Randy he told me that I did have Jewish ancestry.  I
will
have to try to get more info out of him.

I have been doing my own research though ever since Desert Storm
occurred
and was surfing through the boob-tube (TV) channels and heard this
person,
on a Sunday morn,  speaking to a group of followers, about the Celts
and
Desert Storm.  And how they had originally been captured by the
Babylonians
and taken as slaves and then evolved into mercenaries for them and
eventually ventured off on their own into the west, Europe, etc  and
what
is now the British Isles and eventually to what is now called the US.

Take care and I think you website is great. Thank you for your much
needed
analytical research and information.  I go to your website almost every
day
and read something.  There is so much to read about this subject.

Cheers, love, light and peace always……………..Deborah   (Deborah is Hebrew
for
bumble bee and is also is an Irish name)
  ---my husband is Scotch and German and Swiss (mother’s name is
Schollengberger).   His father said they got kicked out of England I
think
because they were mercenaries and then moved to Ireland and then got
kicked
out of Ireland and settled in Scotland.  LOL  My father told me that in
Canada some of the relatives were horse thieves….who
knows???....-------SHALOM!!!!)

Several people have written me on this issue asking how could I
possibly be
interested in a sight
that apparently (I have not bothered to check) deals with New Age
nonsense
and conspiracy theories.
The facts are:
I asked about a specific article, its author, and whether or not there
was
any continuation to
the article.
I received an answer that pointed me in the direction
of works by Emmet Sweeney
http://www.consciousevolution.com/Rennes/sweeney.htm
One of these works
ARTHUR AND STONEHENGE: BRITAIN’S LOST HISTORY
http://www.consciousevolution.com/Rennes/arthurandstonehenge.htm
contains information of  interest to us even though it also says things
we
do not agree with
and that lay outside our sphere of inquiry.
The other articles by the said author may also be worth our
examination.
This is what interests us.
It appears that these pages are hosted by a body that also deals with
pagan
and conspiracy nonsense by other authors.
This is inevitable. When one deals with matters outside what is
conventionally accepted
then here and there some of the sources (or those supplying
information)
may be questionable.
Even so we are interested in some points made by  Emmet Sweeney  and he
appears
(from the little we have so far seen) to be OK and a scholar.

4. The Three Rs of Brit-Am
Research: Searching for the Truth of Israelite Brit-Am Identity
Revelation: Propagating the knowledge obtained through Research and
working
for its internalization.
Reconciliation: Working with the aim that the Results of  our Research
and
Revelation will lead to a
reconciliation between Joseph and Judah which is a pre-requisite for
ultimate re-union.

5. The Divine Plan

Jerusalem News-319
item 1. The City of Lot?

This is a most interesting article, while in my study of Genesis found
it
interesting one of lots daughters became the mother of the moabites, in
another part of the Torah we see to leave grain in the fields for
strangers, widows to glean. Setting up the stage for Ruth to enter, God
accomplishes so much using people despite ourselves. thanks for this
article Amber

6. Brit-Am in a quandary: Bob Davis Advises
From: B
Subject: RE: "Brit-Am Now"-472
item  2. Brit-Am, Judah, and Joseph. and People in General. Comment.

Dear Yair, I would like to help you spread the message of Brit-Am as
much as
I can.  However, you seem to face a huge strategic problem.  The
majority of
the people you seek to reach in the US and UK will be Christians.  Your
teaching about a return to the law of Moses and the re-building of the
temple will be an immediate turn-off to them.  Its a bit like someone
talking to a Jew and referring to Israel as Palestine.  The shutters
will
come down immediately.  Most Christians are  familiar with the Old
Testament.  I expect most Jews will not have read the New Testament
though
and will, therefore, not understand how quickly they turn Christian
friends
away with innocent seeming religious remarks.  I would be glad to point
out
where the touch points are in this minefield if it would help.  
Personally,
I think it would be better to stick to history and avoid religion as
much as
possible until Jews and Christians form the kind of friendship than can
withstand a robust debate.
In friendship
Bob Davis

Answer:
Bob Shalom, Returning to the Law of Moses may be considered a private
idea
of my own and one for
the distant future in which I myself will not be involved and do not
wish
to be.
It may therefore be obscured altogether if it interferes with the
propagation of Brit-Am ideas.
It is not part of the Brit-Am message but seems to "creep" in now and
again.
The same applies to rebuilding the Temple though in this case I am not
so
sure that people
would really be put off but it. Some may be attracted. Organizations
with
the Temple message
in Israel do receive a lot of Christian support, very much more than we
do.
The three Rs of Brit-Am are Research (knowledge of  Hebrew identity),
Revelation (making the knowledge known), and Reconciliation
between Judah and Joseph. The message also goes out to both Judah and
Joseph and we have to make it
acceptable to both sides. Anyway we are always grateful for any help,
advice, and criticism you may offer.
Once the Brit-Am movement is Reconstructured I would like you and
others to
join.
This Reconstruction is scheduled to be undergone some time in the
course of
this present Hebrew year
(up to about September) and any ideas you may have as to what form it
should take would also be appreciated.

7. Is Britain Tarshish?
Question:
>From: luis garcia
>Subject: tarshish
>
>Dear Mr. Yair...Peace be to you.!!
>
>I would like to know if the biblical name of Tarshish is Great
Britain...
>please advise. Thank you....lg"

Answer:
Shalom,
  Tarshish according to our understanding refers to the general
Atlantic
Ocean area
and could apply to North America and Great Britain. Historically
Tarshish
was a polity based on southwest Spain
that had connections with France and Britain and possibly ruled over
areas
in those countries.

Ezekiel mentions mineral ores supplied by Tarshish to Tyre in
Phoenicia.
The metals concerned were available
from Britain.
[Ezekiel 27:12] TARSHISH WAS THY MERCHANT BY REASON OF THE MULTITUDE OF
ALL
KIND OF RICHES; WITH SILVER, IRON, TIN, AND LEAD, THEY TRADED IN THY
FAIRS.
Tarsis was in Spain possibly centred on the region of Gibraltar.
Tarshish
served as a trading emporium for goods from Spain, Britain, and Gaul.
Tarshish according to a leading French  historian, D'Arbois de
Jubainville,  once controlled most of Gaul.

I saw in an old British Israel publication the statement that Britain
was
named "Tarshish" on Ancient maps but no references were given.
Cyrus  Gordon (a great scholar) is said to have identified Mexico with
Tarshish
and the name may refer to North America.
Tarshish in the Bible is the name given to a son of Javan (Greece) and
a
descendant of Benjamin.
Tarshish was the name given to an area (near Gades) in Southwest Spain
with
which the ancient Israelites
and Phoenicians traded. Later Phoenicians from  Tyre fled to Tarshish
and
apparently conquered it and made it
a base of their own. Israelites were also settled in the area by the
Assyrians who transferred them there using
Phoenician and Philistine ships.
Details and references may be found in our past articles posted on our
web
site and in our work "Lost Israelite Identity".

“Tarshish” can refer to the Atlantic Ocean area and to the USA as
explained
in “The Tribes”. Historically Tarshish was centered in Spain with
colonies
in Gaul and Britain. It was just past the Straits of Gibraltar and so
the
name (in Biblical exegesis) came to represent the whole Atlantic Ocean
area
and in a future sense Noth America.

The symbol of Tarshish became the Dollar sign representing the US.
An article from Gunnar Jeremia Gishron of Jerusalem (in our magazine
“BRIT-AM”)
traces the dollar to a coin issued by a Swedish monarch. The original
coin
included  the name of God in Hebrew and the motto in Swedish “In God WE
Trust”!
Later the Spanish adapted the coin and the USA took it from the
Spanish.
The Spanish version bore the Heraldric sign of the Spanish Royal
family.
This represented the two pillars of Hercules at Gibraltar. These
pillars
gave rise to the dollar “$” symbol (with two strokes not one)! The
ancient
northern Israelites (LTTS) wrote Hebrew interspersed with Egyptian-like
hieroglyphics. Where we to use the hieroglyphic system today instead of
writing “AMERICA” or the USA all the time we would substitute “$” as a
hieroglyph representing the USA. This one sign ($) could only in the
context stand for the USA. This is the sign of Gibraltar, i.e. the sign
of
Tarshish. Isaiah (60;9) says that ships of Tarshish will be the leaders
in
returning the exiles.
  [Isaiah 60:9] SURELY THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR ME, AND THE SHIPS OF
TARSHISH FIRST, TO BRING THY SONS FROM FAR, THEIR SILVER AND THEIR GOLD
WITH THEM, UNTO THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND TO THE HOLY ONE OF
ISRAEL, BECAUSE HE HATH GLORIFIED THEE.
“SURELY THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR ME” Iben Ezra Commentary: “For I will
give
them a good reward.”
“THE SHIPS OF TARSHISH FIRST”: Ships that plough the Atlantic Ocean
bringing people back from America, Britain, and Western Europe.
In one of the Psalms, it says "The kings of Tarshish and of the isles
shall
bring presents" (Psalm 72;10): The Aramaic Targum translates this
expression to say, "The Kings of Tarsis and of the Isles in the Oceanic
Sea
shall bring offerings" and by Oceanic Sea (i.e."Yam Okyanus") it is
generally understood that the Atlantic Ocean is intended.

Rabbinical Exegesis generally understood future references to Tarshish
as
referring to the Atlantic Ocean region in general. Ships of Tarshish
would mean ships coming from the Atlantic Ocean region in which Britain
and
the USA are dominant.


  [Isaiah 60:8] WHO ARE THESE THAT FLY AS A CLOUD, AND AS THE DOVES TO
THEIR WINDOWS?
[Isaiah 60:9] SURELY THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR ME, AND THE SHIPS OF
TARSHISH
FIRST, TO BRING THY SONS FROM FAR, THEIR SILVER AND THEIR GOLD WITH
THEM,
UNTO THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL,
BECAUSE
HE HATH GLORIFIED THEE.

They will fly on the clouds in Aeroplanes.  When was it possible for
this
prophecy to be literally fulfilled before our times?
The Talmud (Baba Batra 75;b) says: <<When Israel sins somewhat, they
are
brought down like a fowl [flying away], as it says, “AS FOR EPHRAIM,
THEIR
GLORY SHALL FLY AWAY LIKE A BIRD” [Hosea 9:11]. When they gain merit,
they
are elevated like a cloud, as it says,  “WHO ARE THESE THAT FLY AS A
CLOUD”
[Isaiah 60:8].>>

The Israelites will return (with great wealth) from the Isles and
Atlantic
Ocean area in aeroplanes and in ships of Tarshish.
