1. Bill Rasmussen: What a fantastic read it was!
Re Unicorns Did Exist!!
http://www.britam.org/unicorn.html
Shalom from Bill Rasmussen in Minnesota
Yair, Shalom and greetings to you. I want to thank you for the fabulous article on the unicorn/ra-eim. What a fantastic read it was. The information provided seems pretty conclusive that there was indeed a one horned animal that the Torah speaks of in Devarim 33:17. The ancients it would seem, were usually quite literal when they depicted animals of the day that were around them.
What I found most interesting was the Black Obelisk picture of both King Jehu and a unicornish type animal being brought in tribute. I can't imagine the Assyrians being fanciful depicting the gifts being brought to them in obeisance to King Shalmaneser. Hollywood was not even invented at this time! The depictions of the obelisk also prove that a Hebrew King named Jehu actually existed, much to the challenges by atheists and others of their ilk who deny the veracity of the Torah/Tanach.
I would appreciate more articles like this. I absolutely devour information from archaeology, Rabbinic writings, Medieval banners and even hostile witnesses to the existence of Israel, both ancient and today. As we draw closer to the coming of Mashiach and the Acharit Yamim [End of Days], we shall see the truth come out about HaShem's plan for the Tribes of Israel. That which is ridiculed and violently opposed shall indeed become self evident.
Shalom, Bill Rasmussen
2. Do Jewish Leftwing Types Harass Ephraim?
From: Max Rambow
Re: Brit-Am Now no. 1748
#3. Question from Rabbinical Scholar.
http://britam.org/now2/1748Now.html#3
Shalom Yair
Could the "harassing" of Ephraim by Judah mean things like the efforts of George Soros and Jewish entertainment figures working to undermine our economy and morals?
Sincerely Max Rambow
Brit-Am Reply:
The relevant verse is,
Isaiah 11:
13 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And 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 to the end times.
For more details See what we wrote on this verse in the Brit-Am Commentary (BAC) to Isaiah:
http://www.britam.org/isaiah/Isaiah11to15.html#11
Apart from that, we are preparing an article on this subject.
The article when ready will probably include the following headings.
Good Jews, Bad Jews
Left Wing Jews are usually non-Religious.
Bad Jews are More the enemies of fellow Jews than anything else.
Bad Jews reflect Gentile society.
Bad Jews are often good for Gentile society.
Bad Jews are usually unwitting puppets of Negative Gentile interests.
Exaggerating Influence.
Conspiracy Theories Usually Tell Outright lies about Jews.
The State of Israel and Bad Jews.
Bad Jews in the State of Israel Often Supported by Foreign Gentile Interests and Capital..
Need to Maintain Perspective.
Overall Jewish Influence is Overwhelmingly Positive.
Religious and Nationalist Jews are Emissaries of ALL Israel.
Jews who learn Torah are Helping all of Humanity.
3. What About all the Anglian English Settlers in the USA?
Re Unicorns Did Exist!!
http://www.britam.org/unicorn.html
Shalom Yair:
If 80% of American colonists came from Scotland, then why are so many places in New England named after places in East Anglia and not Scotland? For example, Norfolk, VA is obviously from Norfolk Co. in England. I have seen several names in New England that reflect place names from East Anglia but few that reflect Scottish names. Perhaps most Scottish people who first settled New England were actually prisoners and place names were applied by a minority of British who were not prisoners. This does not seem to be likely because the kings of England, during the first settlements of America, were Scottish (Stuarts).
Jay Tompkins
Brit-Am Reply:
The relevant passage says,
We found a predominance of Manasseh entities that in the past were to be found in Scotland. More than 80% of the founding settlers of the USA came from Scotland and related areas in the North and West of Britain.
We did not intend Scotland alone. We also included the north and west of Britain.
Our sources was Calvin Kephart, "Races of Mankind, their Origin and Migration", New York, 1960.
Kephart relied on early statistical evidence.
In our book, "Joseph. The Israelite Destiny of America"
http://britam.org/bkjoseph.html
we quote from David Hackett Fischer (see item #5. below) and Linda Merl (an Irish Genealogist of some note) concerning the British Isles and
Stan Nadel about Germany.
Not only did the early migrants to America come from specific areas BUT also they usually belonged to definable social groups who in a Tribal sense appear to have been distinct from the rest of the population.
It may be as you say that people from Anglia were important at the very beginning but in the first century what relative proportion did they constitute?
Within English Anglia itself are there any sociological distinctions pertaining to them?
Perhaps here too they may also be identified as belonging to Manasseh?
4. Additions to Unicorn article.
Re Unicorns Did Exist!!
http://www.britam.org/unicorn.html
A few corrections and additions have been made to the article.
These include:
(a)
This implies that King James wished to associate his kingdom with Israel in the End Times.
James-i (1567-1625) of England had previously been James-vi of Scotland.
James-i (1567-1625) of England was also known as James-vi of Scotland.
Before becoming the King of England and Scotland together he had ruled over Scotland. He did indeed bring the unicorn symbol from Scotland to England and is said to have referred to himself as king of Israel.
(b)
The Unicorn Represents Joseph:
HIS GLORY IS LIKE THE FIRSTLING OF HIS BULL, AND HIS HORNS ARE LIKE THE HORNS OF UNICORNS: WITH THEM HE SHALL PUSH THE PEOPLES TOGETHER TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: AND THEY ARE THE TEN THOUSANDS OF EPHRAIM, AND THEY ARE THE THOUSANDS OF MANASSEH [Deuteronomy 33:17].
In the above verse it says:
HIS HORNS ARE LIKE THE HORNS OF UNICORNS: WITH THEM HE SHALL PUSH THE PEOPLES TOGETHER.
The Hebrew says in literal transliteration,
# The Horns of a Unicorn [Raem] are his horns, with them peoples will he but together as one...#
The Hebrew could be read also as saying,
# The Horns of a Unicorn [Raem] are his horns, with them as one, peoples will he but together...#
Notice the possible combination, "his horns, with them, as one".
This could hint that the two horns have become one which may have been a known phenomenon amongst some species of Raem.
This is only a suggestion. It may sound far-fetched but it is consistent with the Hebrew and fits in with the rest of the evidence.
(c)
Perhaps it was a type of auroch, i.e. a gigantic wild bull (now extinct) with only one horn?
Alternately it may have been a species that usually had two horns but in some of its sub-species the two horns would grow together to become one?
So too, a few corrections and additions have been made to the article,

5. Lillie B. Smith: An interesting book,
Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America by David Hackett Fischer.
Hi,
I was wondering if you had ever heard of (or even read) Albion's
Seed: Four British Folkways in America by David Hackett Fischer? I
don't remember that there was anything relating to the Ten Tribes but
it is an interesting history of how early USA was settled by peoples
from England and Scotland. I heard about it listening to a sermon
online. The gentleman mentioned that Herman Hoeh had recommended it to
him. I found it to be very interesting and recommend it if you have
the time.

We received a copy of this work some time ago from our friend Clifford Smyth in Northern Ireland.
In our book, "Joseph. The Israelite Destiny of America"
http://britam.org/bkjoseph.html
we have a chapter that is based in part on this work.
Also, we have an article based on this work on our site.

All truth passes through three stages: First it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
