Blackwood: Encouragement for Yair

Shalom Yair
I am doing a study on GEORGE = JACOB. It looks as if the legionary St
George is Jacob or a son of Jacob. But...
I have just come across this.
YAIR = (Hebrew) HE WILL ENLIGHTEN
So be encouraged, your name is prophetic for who you are. As the name sake
for the OT prophets so too it seems you are living up to your God-given
destiny. Thought the way is tuff and difficulties seem to impede your work.
It seems that you are right on track. You audience may be small right now
but you are just practicing, getting it right on what seems a small but
patient and loyal e-mail list. Keep going because there shall come harvest
for the fruit of your labour. Israel shall be told and they shall know.
Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make
it
plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is
yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:
though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not
tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the
just shall live by his faith.
Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among
the
heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall
know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in
you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and
gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all
your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new
heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I
will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an
heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to
walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 28 And ye
shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my
people, and I will be your God. 29 I will also save you from all your
uncleanness: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay
no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the
increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine
among the heathen.
Keep going. Keep enlightening.

2. Nathan Proud:
"Israelite-Descended Nations" and the UN
Subject: old UN resolution
Hi Yair, I use iGoogle, and my page has "This Day In History." Today features
the 1975 passing of UN Resolution 3379 and also features the Israeli response to
it:
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/United%20Nations%20General%20Assembly%20Resolution%203379
What I considered the most interesting, however, was the voting map. It's
almost as if this map could be retitled "Israelite-Descended Nations." There
are obvious exceptions, but it's striking how wel it correlates with the lost
tribes:

The only Israelite nations that didn't vote against it were absent.
Peace,
Nathan Proud

Gad: The Lesson of Jewish History
"Brit-Am Now"-1009
#3. Cad Expunged from Brit-Am List
I am always saddened when I hear of such hatred against Judah. But invariably,
people who say such things have no knowledge of history. Paul Johnson, in the
last chapter of his book, A History of the Jews, concludes, "Jewish history
teaches, if anything can,that there is indeed a purpose to human existence and
we are not just born to live and die like beats," and ends with the quote, "Be
strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for YHWH
your Elohim is with the whithersoever thou goest." Reading at least one good
history of the Jews is a life changing experience.

4. Question on
African Masai,
Tutsi, and Yibir
Henk Meyer wrote:
Dear Mr Yair,
Thank you for your wonderfull and very interesting website.
About the lost tribes I have read that there is a story of Israelite ancestry
of Koreans. Another similar stories are the ones about the Masai tribes in
East Africa or the Tutsi tribes in Rwanda and Burundi, and there are some
rumours of the Yibir tribe in Somalia.
I hope you can explain.
Shalom,
Henk Meyer, Holland.

Each individual case needs to be examined independently.
We do however have Criteria for deciding which people descend from Israelites.
http://www.britam.org/criteria.html
We also have replies to specific examples such as Afghans and Japanese
where Israelite descent has been claimed but we do not accept it.

5. Should Joseph
Keep the Law? Extensive Article
We were overwhelmed with postings concerning this subject.
There were too many to answer through regular "Brit-Am Now"
postings so we posted most of them to our site with replies from Brit-Am
and a lengthy Brit-Am Introduction placing the subject in more of a Biblical
perspective.
Joseph and the Law.
http://www.britam.org/worship.html
Do Ephraimites have to Keep the Law of Moses in our time as distinct from
the End Times?

7. The End Times:
Food for Thought
It is true that in the Last Days Judah and Joseph shall unite.
They shall then keep the Law.
[Ezekiel 37:22] AND I WILL MAKE THEM ONE NATION IN THE LAND UPON THE MOUNTAINS
OF ISRAEL; AND ONE KING SHALL BE KING TO THEM ALL: AND THEY SHALL BE NO MORE TWO
NATIONS, NEITHER SHALL THEY BE DIVIDED INTO TWO KINGDOMS ANY MORE AT ALL.
[Ezekiel 37:23] NEITHER SHALL THEY DEFILE THEMSELVES ANY MORE WITH THEIR IDOLS,
NOR WITH THEIR DETESTABLE THINGS, NOR WITH ANY OF THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS: BUT I
WILL SAVE THEM OUT OF ALL THEIR DWELLINGPLACES, WHEREIN
THEY HAVE SINNED, AND WILL CLEANSE THEM: SO SHALL THEY BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL
BE THEIR GOD.
[Ezekiel 37:24] AND DAVID MY SERVANT SHALL BE KING OVER THEM; AND THEY ALL SHALL
HAVE ONE SHEPHERD: THEY SHALL ALSO WALK IN MY JUDGMENTS, AND OBSERVE MY
STATUTES, AND DO THEM.
On the one hand,
They will no longer be two separate peoples.
On the other hand each tribe will dwell separately from the other as enumerated
in Ezekiel chapter 48.
