Part Three 'Biblical Proof'
by Yair Davidiy
Proving the Identity of the Lost Tribes of
Israel
# 40 - The Name 'Hebrew'
Abraham was a Hebrew:
[Genesis 14:13]
AND THERE CAME ONE THAT HAD ESCAPED, AND TOLD ABRAM THE HEBREW; FOR
HE DWELT IN THE PLAIN OF MAMRE THE AMORITE, BROTHER OF ESHCOL, AND BROTHER
OF ANER: AND THESE WERE CONFEDERATE WITH ABRAM.
The Book of Jonah relates how God told Jonah to go to the major Assyrian
city of Nineveh and there prophesy that after 40 days it would be overturned.
This meant according to the understanding of Jonah that Nineveh would be
destroyed. Jonah did not want to go on this mission and attempted to flee
to Tarshish in Spain. A storm arose at sea and the sailors of his
ship realized that a supernatural power was causing it. They threw lots
and the result fell on Jonah. Jonah told the seamen to cast him overboard.
[Jonah 1:9] AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, I AM AN HEBREW; AND I FEAR THE LORD,
THE GOD OF HEAVEN, WHICH HATH MADE THE SEA AND THE DRY LAND.
Here we have the name Hebrew connected with worship of the God of Israel
as if the two were mutually relevant to each other. Jonah was a Hebrew
going to Tarshish in Spain. Israelites from the Ten Tribes were later exiled
to Spain. They were known as Iberi, or as Hiberi i.e. as Hebrews.
From Spain the Hiberi (Hebrews) moved onwards into Gaul and the British
Isles. The Celtic inhabitants of Britain were all referred to as Iberi,
or Hiberi, or Iberni (meaning Hebrews) by themselves and by others (such
as Ptolemy) and the name Iberi (i.e. Hebrew) very frequently occurs in ethnic
and place-names of the Western Celtic peoples. Hibernian still means
Irish. The Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) was named after the Iberi
Hebrews who once dwelt there but later left moving to Gaul and Britain.
The crew in Jonah's ship made another futile attempt to continue against
the storm after which they reluctantly threw Jonah into the sea. A fish
(whale or other sea-creature) swallowed Jonah and after three days spew
him out onto the shore. He went to Nineveh and prophesied and the people
did penitence and were forgiven and no disaster occurred (at that time)
to the city.
Incidentally the
peoples who later came westward from Scythia and Germania and who were also
Israelites were referred to by the Romans as Barbari. This term is generally
taken to be a negative expression meaning that they were barbarians and
uncivilized in Roman eyes. Nevertheless the term according to some originally
had ethnic connotations. The Hebrews in the Ancient Middle East (according
to the Encyclopedia Judaica) were known as Iberi and as Barbari.
There is an interesting article at http://www.world-destiny.org/toc.htm]
(Victor Mair PART II ---THE IBERI CONNECTION) concerning the name Iberi
(Hebrew) in ancient times. We do not necessarily agree with this article
but for those who want more background information concerning this name
it is worth reading.
Concerning the root Iberi amongst the Celts see "Celtic Namesakes # 6".
# 41-111 - Tribal and Clan Names
Seventy souls went down to Egypt with Jacob and his
family [Genesis 46:8 -26]
These include the family of Joseph.
These names are repeated with some variations in the Book of Numbers (26:4-50).
References in the Bible and archaeological inscriptions indicate that these
names were given to clans within the individual tribes. Other names are found
in the Bible that also became clan names.
Most, (but not all), of the original seventy names can be traced to
groups of people in the west amongst nations that we identify as descended
from the Lost Ten Tribes. We have also traced other Biblical clan names that
were not in the original seventy amongst these peoples. The total number of
names that we have accounted for numbers around seventy or more.
Hebrew Tribes and Clans that bore certain names, marched together in certain
formations and had certain peculiar characteristics, have been traced bearing
similar or identical names, traveling in the same configurations, and with
the same Tribal characteristics. Taking this phenomenon into consideration,
together with Biblical and other evidence showing the people in question to
be descended from the Lost Tribes, we can consider these names to comprise
an additional body of evidence in its own right of great value.
We have published and briefly explained these names in the past and will
do so again. A fairly broad more detailed explanation was given in our book
The Tribes.

When the Patriarch Israel was dying he blessed all of his sons. Concerning
Judah he said:
"Judah you are he whom thy brethren shall acknowledge the righteousness
of: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your father's children
shall bow down to you" Genesis 49; 8.
The words "shall acknowledge the righteousness of" in Hebrew are "Yoducha"
and are translated in the KING JAMES as "shall praise" but in this case our
translation is the more literal one. The Hebrew expression "Yoducha" even
connotes "own up" or "acknowledge the righteousness of after a disagreement"!
The brothers of Judah will acknowledge his righteousness!!!!
SONS OF JUDAH
"The sons of Judah; Er and Onan, and Shelah...
"And Tamar his daughter-in-law bare him Pharez and Zerah. All the sons
of Judah were five.

Gilead, whom he married when he was threescore years old; and she bare
him Segub.
"And Segub begat Jair, who had three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead"
(1 Chronicles 2; 21-22).
"And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah:
but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron
and Hamul" Genesis 46; 12.
OFFSHOOTS OF JUDAH
Most of Judah became dominant amongst the Jewish people but elements of
Judah were also taken away by the Assyrians or in other ways became attached
to the Ten Tribes. Even so, in Biblical terms "Judah" refers to the Jewish
people and other sections of Judah that were lost are subsumed Together with
the "Ten Tribes" of "Israel".

#
112-113-114. Isaac, Jacob, and Israel
The Lost Ten Tribes were destined to be known
by the names of the forefathers, Abraham the Hebrew, Isaac, and Jacob. The
name Jacob is repeated in the Union Jack (the flag of Britain), and in the
term Yank which is a Hebrew alternative for Jack i.e. Jacob.
[Genesis 21:12]
AND GOD SAID UNTO ABRAHAM, LET IT NOT BE GRIEVOUS IN THY SIGHT BECAUSE OF
THE LAD, AND BECAUSE OF THY BONDWOMAN; IN ALL THAT SARAH
HATH SAID UNTO THEE, HEARKEN UNTO HER VOICE; FOR IN ISAAC SHALL THY
SEED BE CALLED.
Ephraim and Manasseh would became a multitude in
the midst of the earth and the name of Jacob be called upon them and the
name of his fathers Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 48:16). This means primarily
that the essence of the forefathers would be expressed through the sons of
Joseph. It has a secondary meaning that the very names would recall the forefathers.
Abraham was known as the Hebrew(Genesis 14:13) and the early inhabitants of
Britain called themselves and were termed by others Iberimeaning Hebrews.
Names given to the Scythians (Isaac-Gulu, Ishkuza, Zohak, Saca, Sak, Saksin,
Saxon) and to the Saxons who settled England were derived from the name Isaac.
The name Jacobis recalled in the Union Jack of Britain meaning the Uniting
of Jacob, and in the nickname Yanki which is short for Jacob. The Ten Tribes
in the End Times are referred to in connection with the raising up the Tribes
of Jacob (Isaiah 49:6), The flag of Britain is called the UNION JACK (i.e.
union or covenant of Jacob) and the nickname Yankor YANKEE for North American
derives from a form of the name Jacob.
[Isaiah 49:6]
AND HE SAID, IT IS A LIGHT THING THAT THOU SHOULDEST BE MY SERVANT TO RAISE
UP THE TRIBES OF JACOB, AND TO RESTORE THE PRESERVED OF ISRAEL: I WILL ALSO
GIVE THEE FOR A LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, THAT THOU MAYEST BE MY SALVATION UNTO
THE END OF THE EARTH.
Adapted from Ephraim chapter four:
The prophet Isaiah addressed himself frequently to the Lost Ten Tribes
of Israel. One of his several addresses to the Ten Tribes is found in chapter
49:
"Isles" and "isles of the sea" meaning mainly Isles in the Atlantic Ocean
(Isles of Britain and coastlines of northwest Europe and North America) are
several times mentioned in Scripture in a context recalling the Lost Tribes
of Israel.
"The Tribes of Jacob" (recalled above in ISAIAH 49) remind one that the
flag of Britain is called the UNION JACK (i.e. union or covenant of Jacob)
and the nickname YANKEE for North American is derivable from a Hebrew form
of Jacob.
This etymology is explained by I. E. Mozeson ("The Word", p.20 entry: "ANKLE")
and holds true regardless as to whether the name was derived from the Dutch
Janke, a Red Indian name for "English", or from the name of a Red Indian Tribe.
Whatever its origin, "YANK" is an acceptable shortening of the Hebrew Jacob!!
This name was given to citizens of the USA and the name in Hebrew means Jacob.
"A light to the Gentiles" is what the British descended peoples and northwest
European peoples comparatively speaking have been despite frequent moral mistakes.
On the whole these nations have been the best civilizing influence the world
has ever known and they still are despite everything!
"End of the earth", or "ends of the earth" is a frequent expression in the
Prophets concerning the Lost Ten Tribes and nearly all of these peoples dwell
at the geographical extremities of Continental masses when the Biblical view
of the Holy Land of Israel as the center is taken into account. The servant
of God (Israel) is entrusted with raising up the Tribes of Jacob who will
be a light unto the nations and bring salvation unto the ends of the earth
where most descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes now dwell. The Land of Israel
in Biblical terms is the center of the earth and when measured from it most
descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes dwell on the geographical extremities,
on the ends of the earth. The Tribes of Israel are Jacob and represented by
the Union Jack and the nickname Yank meaning Jacob.
Jacob was also known as Israel:
[Genesis 32:28]
AND HE SAID, THY NAME SHALL BE CALLED NO MORE JACOB, BUT ISRAEL: FOR AS
A PRINCE HAST THOU POWER WITH GOD AND WITH MEN, AND HAST PREVAILED.
[Genesis 35:10]
AND GOD SAID UNTO HIM, THY NAME IS JACOB: THY NAME SHALL NOT BE CALLED ANY
MORE JACOB, BUT ISRAEL SHALL BE THY NAME: AND HE CALLED HIS NAME ISRAEL.
Israel is Yisra-el. The name Isru is derived from
Israel. Isru was considered one of the ancestors of the Irish and Scottish.
The monarchs and leaders (such as Cromwell) of England throughout history
referred to their people as Israel. It matters not whether they considered
this term to be applicable for spiritual reasons rather than physical ones
they nevertheless did apply the term to their people. The same may be said
concerning the early Puritan settlers of America.
# 115 Lion and Unicorn
The Lion and Unicorn were representative of Israel
in its aspect of power in the End Times. The lion and unicorn are on the coat
of arms officially symbolizing Britain.
Bilaam the heathen prophet foresaw that in the End Times the descendants
of Israel would be very powerful. He likened them to a lion and a raem
or unicorn.
<<GOD BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT;
HE HATH AS IT WERE THE STRENGTH OF AN UNICORN.
<<SURELY THERE IS NO ENCHANTMENT AGAINST JACOB, NEITHER IS THERE
ANY DIVINATION AGAINST ISRAEL: ACCORDING TO THIS TIME IT SHALL BE SAID OF
JACOB AND OF ISRAEL, WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT!
<<BEHOLD, THE PEOPLE SHALL RISE UP AS A GREAT LION, AND LIFT UP HIMSELF
AS A YOUNG LION: HE SHALL NOT LIE DOWN UNTIL HE EAT OF THE PREY, AND DRINK
THE BLOOD OF THE SLAIN>> [Numbers 23:22-24].
The symbols of Scotland had two unicorns and that
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain had a lion and a unicorn.The Midrash
(Numbers Rabah) says that the raem (unicorn) was the symbol of MANASSEH. In
our passage Israel is likened to a unicorn. Only in Britain does the unicorn
appear as a national symbol. On the other hand the
unicorn came to Britain from Scotland which is still represented by two
unicorns. More than 80% of the founding settlers of the USA came from Scotland
and related areas in the North and West of Britain.
How Many Horns Did the Unicorn Have?
<<HIS HORNS ARE LIKE THE HORNS OF UNICORNS>> [Deuteronomy 33:17].
This phrase in the Hebrew says, Karnei [the Horns of] Raem [a unicorn] Karnov
[are his horns]. The expression in the Hebrew can in effect be understood
to say that the raem (unicorn) has more than one horn. Rabbinical Commentators
however (and the King James Translation after them) chose to interpret it
as consistent with the Raem having only one horn. In this their opinion was
consistent with that of the major Rabbinical Commentators. There is in fact
a Biblical verse that could justify this view:
<<HE HATH AS IT WERE THE STRENGTH [Hebrew: TOYAFOTH] OF AN UNICORN>>
[Numbers 23:22].
The word translated above from the Hebrew as strength is TOYAFOTH and literally
means that which he is exalted by (lifted up) and appears to be referring
to the horns. This word is spelt one way and traditionally pronounced another.
It is spelt in the singular and pronounced in the plural. The expression of
strength (Toyafoth), meaning the horns which are normally plural, in this
case have become ONE [TOYAFATH: in the singular instead of TOYAFOTH
in the plural]. Perhaps it is an animal that in some cases has one horn and
in other cases has two?
The Classical Opinion
Rabbi David Kimchi (Safer HaShorashim, RAEM): <<HIS HORNS ARE LIKE
THE HORNS OF UNICORNS (Deuteronomy 33:17). It is intended to mean that his
horns are like the horns of (several) unicorns for the Raem has only one horn.
[Psalms 29:6] HE MAKETH THEM ALSO TO SKIP LIKE A CALF; LEBANON AND SIRION
LIKE A YOUNG UNICORN. [Psalms 22:21] SAVE ME FROM THE LION'S MOUTH:
FOR THOU HAST HEARD ME FROM THE HORNS OF THE UNICORNS & A wild beast
of the wilderness, extremely strong.>>
The Greek Translation of the Bible (Septuagent) translates Ream (Numbers
23:22) as monoceros i.e. one-horned. Saadia, Yehudah HaLevi, and Ibn
Ezra also considered the "Reem" to be a unicorn (see Kaplan in the "Living
Torah"), as did Menasseh ben Israel.
Did the Unicorn Exist? In our magazine Brit-Am Truth no.7 there is
an article discussing this question in depth. There were animals with one
horn
such as the narwal (a small whale with a long horn); the sakea a kind of
goat like deer depicted by the Assyrians, in some opinions it was a mythical
animal (THE ARAB FRINGE. AN ENQUIRY CONCERNING Mutsri, KUSH, MELUHHA AND MAGAN
by Michael Banyai
http://www.abara2.de/chronologie/fringe.php);
The Prehistoric Elasmotherium: "This was a gigantic rhinoceros the size of
an elephant, with a horn that may have measured up to six feet long.
Unlike the contemporary rhinoceros, the horn of the elasmotherium was situated
on its forehead rather than on its nose." (Mysterious Creatures. Intriguing
Torah Enigmas of Natural and Unnatural History, Nosson Slifkin, Israel, 2003
p.62). This animal was reportedly extinct long before the age of man, but
who knows?
The auroch which was a gigantic wild bull of immense strength and only
recently extinct has also been suggested.
It does not really matter. The point is that whatever the ream originally
was it became identified with the unicorn and this together with the
lion really were used as symbols of Britain.
# 116 A Blessing to Others
Biblical Proof no. 116: A Blessing to Others.
The Israelites were destined to bring a blessing on all other peoples.
This blessing is linked to the proof to become a Light for the Gentiles
Nevertheless bringing a blessing upon all the peoples of the earth
and becoming a light to the Gentiles
may be considered as two separate though related proofs.
Bringing a Blessing may be considered in a general more physical sense
whereas a Light to the Gentiles is more of a Civilization Concept.
<<IN THY SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED (Genesis 26:4).
" THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING" (Genesis 12:2)
"IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED"(Genesis 12:3)
"SEEING THAT ABRAHAM SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION, AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM?" (Genesis 18:18).
"AND IN THY SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED" (Genesis 22:18).
Cf.
"AND THEIR SEED SHALL BE KNOWN AMONG THE GENTILES, AND THEIR OFFSPRING AMONG THE PEOPLE: ALL THAT SEE THEM SHALL ACKNOWLEDGE THEM, THAT THEY ARE THE SEED WHICH THE LORD HATH BLESSED" (Isaiah 61:9).
The full impact of this blessing may well lay in the future. Nevertheless as we have pointed out several times peoples whom Brit-Am has identified as substantially of Israelite descent have been a blessing on the whole to the rest of mankind.
This is in effect yet one more Brit-Am Biblical Proof that when taken in the context of all the other proofs as one complementary whole shows the present day identity of Brit-Am Israelite nations.
The blessing to other nations was DEPENDENT upon becoming a great nation:
[Genesis 12:2] AND I WILL MAKE OF THEE A GREAT NATION, AND I WILL BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THY NAME GREAT; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING:
He will FIRSTLY become a great nation and AFTER THAT be a source of blessing to all other peoples.
[Genesis 12:3] AND I WILL BLESS THEM THAT BLESS THEE, AND CURSE HIM THAT CURSETH THEE: AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED.
Those that seek your welfare will be blessed; those that seek your harm will be cursed.
[Genesis 18:18] SEEING THAT ABRAHAM SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION, AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM?
All the nations of the world were destined to receive a blessing through the seed of Abraham. The world would be in a much worse state were it not for peoples whom we have determined contain a large proportion of Israelites.
If it were not for the USA and Britain the State of Israel would even now probably be facing an invasion of European and other peace-keepers whose real intention (whether they admit it to themselves or not) is the destruction of the Jewish State. Israelite nations have saved other peoples from extermination through famine, disease, and warfare. They are the only ones who to some degree alleviate the oppression of other peoples. Most scientific and moral progress comes from descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes or of Jews from Judah all of whom are Israelites who inherited the blessing of Abraham.
We have pointed out in the past that the Israelite inheritors of Abraham were to become a "great and mighty nation" in order that they should bring a blessing on all nations of the earth. This is not only a blessing to the Seed of Abraham but also a duty. It is also a proof of descent.
[Genesis 18:19] FOR I KNOW HIM, THAT HE WILL COMMAND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD AFTER HIM, AND THEY SHALL KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD, TO DO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT; THAT THE LORD MAY BRING UPON ABRAHAM THAT WHICH HE HATH SPOKEN OF HIM.
This can also be understood to say that (to a degree) God will bring the blessing of Abraham upon his descendants because He knows that they will use the blessing to do justice and judgment. We have an obligation as Israelites to fulfill this task.
[Genesis 22:18] AND IN THY SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED; BECAUSE THOU HAST OBEYED MY VOICE.
This unconditional promise was given to Abraham right after he had passed the test of having to bind and almost slaughter his son Isaac. It was then unconditionally promised to bring a blessing upon all the nations of the earth through the seed of Abraham after this seed also being blessed with becoming an immense multitude and gaining possession of all major worldwide strategic thoroughfares.
THAT IN BLESSING I WILL BLESS YOU, AND IN MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY YOUR SEED AS THE STARS OF THE HEAVEN, AND AS THE SAND WHICH IS UPON THE SEASHORE; AND YOUR SEED SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF HIS ENEMIES (Genesis 22:17). We have stressed over and over again that these blessings and proofs must be considered in the context of all the other blessings and proofs and it must be seen how each one fulfills and supplements the others.
