#2. Questions Regarding Arab (?) Enemy of Brit-Am Who was Quoted by Wikipedia
Hi Yair
If it was not for the teaching of HWA through the WWCG, I would have been still
in ignorance regarding 'the truth'.
Let those who criticize be confounded. Let BRIT-Am continue with disseminating
God's truth.
Shalom

2. Letter from a
Biblical Zionist
Excerpt
From: gwfinley@cox.net
Subject: 'The Tribes'
Dear Mr. Davidiy,
I greet you in Hashem, the Holy One of Israel. I am an Australian
anesthesiologist and have been living in the US for 28 years now. I am a
somewhat of a devotional writer and lately a Biblical Zionist of sorts. My
American wife Mary and I are presently visiting Israel. My website is
http://endtimepilgrim.org
I have been featuring your website and your work for some time now. I believe
your landmark scholarship on the lost tribes of Israel is extremely important.
It is a much neglected and much needed work. Your books are providing a key to
the eventual healing of the breach of Jeroboam. I believe this healing will
prevent much grief. It will help bring in the true peace between the two houses
of Israel...
Interestingly, as soon as the evictions in Gaza were completed, and on that very
day, Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas. The storm entered the Gulf of
Mexico and it was soon the Americans who were also being evicted, - this time
from New Orleans. This was no coincidence. The U. S. State Department under
Condoleezza Rice had been pushing Israel to the table of compromise. From a
spiritual perspective this "land for peace" dealing is bad news for the covenant
people... It is the way of Balaam. Billions of U.S. dollar loan guarantees were
offered to the Israeli government in exchange for slices of God's sacred land.
This is no road to peace. Do our city police in America force us to give up
chunks of our front yard to allow thugs and street gangs to camp on our land in
order to create "peace" in our neighborhoods? No. They arrest the troublemakers
and cart them off to jail.
In your book, "The Tribes" you have traced the westward migrations of the lost
ten tribes after they were taken captive by the Assyrians in 722 B.C.E. They
were scattered and mixed with the nations. They never returned to Israel in
sovereign numbers. So they are out there still, lost, in the nations, and
suffering from amnesia. Could they be ten nations, and identifiable today in
western Christendom?
Most Christians I talk with do not want to discuss these things. Among Biblical
Christians and evangelicals the lost ten tribes are a non-issue...
But the Bible tells a different story to the ones we are told. I am convinced
that there is more here than we realize. Here is the gist of it. Ten tribes went
out from northern Israel in 722 B.C.E. ...Quite clearly the ten lost tribes will
be found. They will rejoin Judah and Benjamin to make up the twelve tribes at
the end of the age.
What has happened to those ten tribes? I believe I can see some things in Holy
Scripture and in the spiritual character of the patriarchs that provide valuable
clues as to what may have happened to them. And I believe I have some
information which may interest you concerning the tribes of Reuben, Zebulun,
Gad, Dan,, Simeon, and Issachar. As you can imagine, I would very much enjoy
having a chat with you.
Here is a brief background. There is a discipline we might call spiritual
archeology. Like you I believe we have good evidence that after some eastward
wanderings most of these ten northern tribes ended up drifting westwards. They
flowed out in various plumes to enter Europe by land and by sea. There in their
tribal dramas and in their migrations they crossed waters and wove their way
through mountains and valleys. As the family of Abraham, they were on a journey.
Through the centuries they streamed then coalesced. Then they streamed out and
coalesced again. They were gathered together in their histories and by their
histories. They often migrated in the constraints of their geographies and were
held together to some degree by their languages. But it was their tribal
character that was the main determinant here. Each of the tribes were leading
lights in history. And they were headed toward their climactic destinies in the
modern era as outlined by Jacob in Genesis 49...
The spiritual characteristics of the 10 tribes is something that religious or
historical scholars have not addressed to my knowledge. But character
proclivities are very much involved in tracing the story here. For instance I
believe we have good evidence that there was a big flow of peace loving people
coming out of the central European tribes during the traumas of the Reformation
Wars. These wicked religious wars went on in central Europe throughout the
1500s and beyond. The conflicts wrecked Germany and Switzerland. At that time
many families left their homes, (if they had a home left), and they left the
central European homeland of the Germanic tribes. They migrated west, as the
lost tribes often did. They were seeking a haven. At that time the haven
presented before them was Holland, even a "haven for ships". The Dutch nation
was destined to become the European superpower in the 1600s. I am convinced
that the Amish went through this war to peace character sifting process here as
did the Mennonites. Anabaptists at that time had sworn never again to take up
the sword for a church or for a state. Holland collected such peace loving
people. And when they arrived all beat up and war weary from their migrations
and gathered together in their new Dutch homeland they told the same story. Then
they settled down to plant tulips and engage in peaceful trade by ships. Do we
see a glimmer of evidence of this in the prophecy given by Jacob to Zebulun in
Genesis 49? I believe we do.
This is just one of many examples of spiritual sifting. Holy history is full of
these spiritual connections. I call this sort of work Biblical or spiritual
archeology. We do not dig in the dirt here But we do dig in the history, the
geography, and the literature and culture. We seek to trace the spiritual story
that is hidden here. Secular historians don't see these things of course. ...But
the tribes moved on in their groupings for one over-riding reason. It was
because they belonged to one of a twelve-fold God given character flow in
Israel. They were in divine flow that does never fades away and is there for all
eternity.
The tribes tended to fall in with people who were like them. They were inclined
to stay in the encampments of the tribes they liked. They also migrated into
the tribes in which they happened to find themselves comfortable. So the
scatterings of the lost tribes of Israel were not their end. Not at all. These
12 were represented on the High Priest's breastplate. They were, (and are), the
leading spirits, the engine of western history. They were led on into their
destinies in the modern era by the inner guidance and the beckonings of the
tribal spirit that inspired and energized them. Gadites liked to be with Gadites.
Reubenits with Reubenites. And the dreamers of Joseph led the way.
The tribes flowed out and separated into their own separate groupings. They did
this quite rapidly when they entered into certain pivotal histories. Some
individuals stayed behind or were slow to move. Others realized that they didn't
belong at that place anymore. So they packed up and left. They were drawn out
and motivated to move on. Out on the pathway they met up with like-minded
people. They were moving out together while others stayed behind. This was the
separation and the re-gathering of lost Israel in the nations.
Grace and shalom to you and yours,
Gavin Finley MD

Griffith: The Steam Ship and Early USA
Subject: Isaiah 18:2 --
Water drinking Vessels and America in Prophecy!
Yair,
I enjoyed your latest work ["Role to Rule. The Task of Joseph"] on the tribe of
Joseph which contained a possible prophetic reference to water drinking vessels
and Joseph. I recently came across a book on Robert Fulton titled "The Fire of
His Genius" by Kirkpatrick Sale. The author notes that steamships became
emblematic of America and American technological prowess in the nineteenth
century. Perhaps Isaiah 18 which is addressed to a powerful people who send
forth representatives on the high seas in water drinking vessels is indeed
addressed to America.
Dr. Richard Griffith
Page 1
"Although the idea of a boat propelled by steam was suggested in Europe as early
as the seventeenth century and experimental steamboats had been tried at various
times in Britain, France, Italy and Germany in the eighteenth century, it was
almost inevitable that the first successful and protracted steamboat operation
should take place in America. Not that the United States in the early
nineteenth century was particularly well endowed with workshops of mechanical
sophistication or trained artisans to run them, certainly by comparison with
Britain. But unlike Europe, it had the greatest need for, and clearest benefits
from, a system of transportation that would take advantage of the numerous long
rivers of the continent and overcome the difficulties of too few roads, too many
mountains, and great distances to travel--and though necessity is not always the
mother of invention, it is without doubt a forceful midwife. America was
special, too, in having a long tradition also stemming from necessity, of
practical problem-solving and technical ingenuity, substituting local and native
methods and materials for foreign ones unavailable or prohibitive.
...
for more than twenty years, a good many American inventors and entrepreneurs
worked steadily to surmount the considerable obstacles posed by putting a large
and heavy steam engine onto a floating wooden frame and figuring out some method
of propulsion to allow it to defy the winds and tides. And why eventually, in
the summer of 1807, one quintessential American finally assembled a machine that
solved these problems and began the first successful commercial steamboat
operation in history, establishing a system of transportation that permitted
humankind to surmount forces of nature that had impeded it since the dawn of
time.
Fittingly, the steamboat became the emblematic image of the American industrial
culture that it was launching, as the steam factory was of Britain's. Not only
did it show off the characteristics of what was even then the American
stereotype--large, noisy, showy, fast, brash, exciting, powerful, and
audacious--and with an impact that made it an icon of American society soon
recognizable anywhere in the world. More than that: in its creation as in its
operation, first on the Hudson and then throughout most American waterways, it
revealed in a remarkable way the American dream itself, as the dream had taken
shape in the early settlement and colonization of the vast new continent and as
it had burst forth, just eighteen years before, with a new and energetic
republic proclaiming its unique status and mission to the world."
