Subject: ASHKENAZI - SEPHARDIC
I know of the British-American Israelite association, having been in the
Worldwide Church of God from 1989 to 1992, and am fully familiar with the
United States and Great Britain in Prophecy and fully endorse it.
The so-called Jews living in Israel today -- at least 90 percent of its populace
-- are Ashkenazi "Jews" and are of the ancestry of Japeth and thus are not
Semites. Ashkenazi Jews are Khazarian Turks and were 'converted' to Talmudic
Judaeism in the 8th century A.D.
NOW THAT IS A FACT! -- attested to by 'Jewish' Encyclopedias.
These Khazarian 'Jews" eventually emigrated northwestward being driven from
their land in southern Russia by other Turkish tribes and Mongol hordes
eventually settling in Eastern Europe. The Sephardic Jews(so-called true Jews
from the tribe of Judah)are a small minority in both Israel and the rest of the
world. Less than a million.
Zionism has lead the whole world to believe that Ashkenazi Jews are the 'real
thing', thus deceiving us and saying that they have a covenant right to
Palestine. THEY DO NOT! They are not Jews from the Tribe of Judah; they are
Turks descended from Japeth.
Now, let's say they were true Jews -- having broken the Covenant they do not
have any rights to the Holy Land and must therefore remain in exile.
Only the LORD Himself at His return will THEN bring together those in captivity.
And that IS scriptural.

Brit-Am Reply:
You may well have been in the Worldwide Church of God but your attitude as far
as I understand does not reflect
that generally held by its members. They were not anti-Semites but you are!
The Jewish' Encyclopedias you quote if they say what you say they do are wrong.
We all make mistakes.
One also finds Jewish academics who for various reasons are anti-Jewish.
I suppose some of the "Sephardic Jews" you speak of might be pleased to hear you
refer to them as the only true
Jews but they are not the only ones.
The Jews have a right to the Land of Israel because they are part of Judah
regardless of their physical ancestry.
Apart from that PHYSICALLY most Jews do descend from Judah and other Israelite
Tribes.
Read our books and articles.
Read the Bible more carefully.
God gave the Land of Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates to the Israelites.
The Jews of Judah have begun to re-settle that part of the Land which is
dependent on obedience to the
Law.
The Jews of Judah having never lost consciousness of their Hebrew ancestry
represent ALL of Israel
and are forerunners for the other Tribes.
Please read something of what we have written on these matters and then, if you
wish, you may get back to us.

Laureen:
I will cause the captives of the land to return
Hi Yair!
I received my book on January 30th. I have started reading it and it is so very
interesting and amazing. I probably should have started with your very first
book and read them in the order you wrote them; however, I find it so wonderful
how HaShem is weaving such a beautiful tapestry in fulfilling ALL the Promises
to fully redeem and restore His People. Halleluyah!!!
Prior to my coming on board - I had always lumped Israel as Israel. Now I
understand the distinction between Yisrael and Yehuda and the depth of clarity
and understanding in what HaShem spoke through the Prophets blesses me, giving
me hope and a deeper trust in Him.
..."the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and
the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ? Praise the LORD of
hosts, For the LORD is good, For His mercy endures forever?? and of those who
will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause
the captives of the land to return as at the first,? says the LORD." - Jeremiah
33:11
Persevere in the good work you are doing.
Shalom,
Laureen

OBSCURE MAP PROVES HEBREWS DISCOVERED AUSTRALIA
All Rights Reserved; G.W. Helon: Australia, 2009
[By Publishing this Article I assert my Right and Claim to be the Discoverer of
this Map and its Significance]
Who really discovered Australia? the Great South Land; Terra Australis?
Who actually was the first maritime explorer to map Australia's coastline?
According to historian and avid genealogist George Helon of Toowoomba,
Australia, "contrary to popular history, it was not the Dutchman and maritime
explorer Willem Jansz in 1606, the Dutch navigator Abel Janszoon Tasman in 1644,
nor was it the British navigator and chart-maker Captain James Cook in 1770.".
The answer to these questions can be found on an obscure map detailed by the
English historian, essayist and biographer Thomas Fuller (1608-1661).
First published by John Williams of London in 1650, the map, entitled "?Zebulon"
appeared in the book "A Pisgah-Sight of Palestine and the Confines Thereof, With
the History of the Old and New Testament Acted Thereon".
The map was a rendering of the geographical tribal boundary of the Hebrew
seafaring tribe of Zebulon which was dedicated to sea-trade.
Mr Helon added that "my family is actually Hebrew, it heralds from Helon, son,
ben akhar ben Zebulon; yes, the very same Zebulon and son of Jacob (Israel) and
Leah."
"Quite by accident, or should I say by divine grace, I stumbled across this map
during one of my many investigations in to my family ??s history and origins. "
"The tribal boundary of Zebulon, along with that of his princely brothers, was
deduced after the extensive examination of, and meticulous
"The Book of Genesis (30:20) tells us that Zebulon was the sixth son of the
great Patriarch Jacob and Leah, and that "?Zebulon (would) live beside the sea,
his shore (would) be a haven for ships, (and that) his territory (would) reach
as far as Sidon (Gen. 49:13)". "
Sidon was a major Phoenician trading port and seafaring city on the
Mediterranean coast where many vessels were built, and from whence many a
maritime explorer embarked.
Given the types of shipping being built and the rapid advancements in navigation
techniques and methods during both the Old and New Testament times, there is no
reason to doubt that Australia was not visited long before white-settlement;
afterall, throughout Australia there are numerous sites where ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphics and ancient artifacts have been found.
"Coincidental, accidental, or by divine inspiration, the map is unambiguous in
its representation of the Australian coastline from about Maria Island off the
east coast of the Northern Territory (lat. 14.52S X long. 135.40E), all along
the Australian west coast, down to South West Cape in Tasmania (lat. 43.34S X
long. 146.02E)", Mr Helon said.
"It is interesting to note too, not only my family's affiliation with certain
ancient places, but the unique association and special significance attributed
to the names Zebulon, which means dwelling by the sea; Helon meaning sand, and
Eliab ? a later descendant ? which means the ship, " Mr Helon said.
"But that's not all," he added. "According to the biblical prophets Isaiah and
Jeremiah, Australia is yet to play its major part in the fulfillment of biblical
prophecy. "
"From the Latin Vulgate Bible (circa 405 A.D.) 'ecce isti de longe venient et
ecce illi ab aquilone et mari et isti de terra australi [the Southern Land, i.e.
Australia] " ~ Isaiah 49:12.
"And from the Douay-Rheims Bible (which preceded the King James Bible of 1611):
"Behold these shall come from afar, and behold these from the north and from the
sea, and these from the south country [i.e. Australia; also rendered as "Sinim"
in other Bible Versions] "~ Isaiah 49:12.
"The prophet Jeremiah added (Jer. 16:15): "But, the Lord liveth, that brought
the children of Israel out of the land of the north, and out of all the lands to
which I cast them out (i.e. the convicts and subsequent immigrants to
Australia): and I will bring them again into their land, which I gave to their
fathers".

They may not be especially interested in seeing the message of Israelite Origin
accepted by those outside of their own limited
circles or belief-systems. Maybe they do not really want the Brit-Am message to
spread?
This to my mind indicates an underlying anti-Jewish and anti-Israelite sentiment
they have not been purified from.##
Dear Mr. Davidy,
You made this comment [above] in your newsletter a few weeks ago. I think there's a
simpler issue involved here. Fear. Fear of being accused of "British-Israelism"
or being called a racist. Fear of social ostracism can be a power motivator to
keep one's mouth shut about an issue which is so controversial.
I know I have been reluctant to discuss the issue with most of my Christian
friends but I am able to freely discuss the issue with my Messianic friends.
Since my Messianic friends are already on the road to greater Torah observance
and are "deprogamming" themselves of the Replacement Theology they had been
taught for so long, I feel I can talk with them about Ephramite issues.
My Christian friends, OTOH, need to come to a more Hebraic understanding of
their faith before they would be open to discussing Ephramite issues. Unless
your Christian friends are willing to divest themselves of their Greco-Roman
view of their faith and turn to more of a Hebraic view of their faith, any
efforts to discuss Ephramite issues will end in failure. They won't understand
the relevance of understanding their Ephramite lineage (since simply being a
direct descendant of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob doesn't save your soul).
Accusing those of us who are cautious of when, how , and to whom we speak of
Ephraim as having "underlying anti-Jewish and anti-Israelite sentiment" is
counterproductive.

Tamar

Brit-Am Reply:
Tamar Shalom,
There seems to have been a misunderstanding.
At all events I probably should not have made the comment in question.
(a) I myself do not usually go around discussing Brit-Am beliefs unless
explicitly
asked about them. I can quite understand someone being reticent to bring these
matters up
in the company of those who might not yet be as enlightened in their outlook as
ourselves.
(b) We see the point that acceptance of Brit-Am beliefs is often concomitant
with a change in religious
outlook in general. Nevertheless this does not hold in every case and does not
have to be taken as a universal rule.
Our own approach is to promote Brit-Am beliefs on Israelite ancestry etc while
avoiding as much as possible
discussions on theology etc.
(c) What we were protesting about was the case of "Ephraimites" who believe in
the Lost Ten Tribes etc
but seem to wish to disregard or deny the specific contribution that Brit-Am has
to offer on the subject.
I hope this is OK with you.
God bless you
Yair
