This is the clearest I have ever heard
you state your position on this. It
is very good!!! I believe in the end
that we will all be repenting. Truth
is fragmented. Noone has it 100%. Even
in everything that I believe is
true, I believe that surely I am wrong
on some things - just don't know
which ones. So I walk in what I understand
to be truth today, but trying to
be humble, knowing that repentance
will be a part of everyone's journey,
Jew and Christian alike.

From Roberth, who is actually a woman
Re Mr DSouza's article. ps is he Jewish?
Science,
democracy, and capitalism, are not
people, persons,
they are tools derived from the Torah
but they are not
the heart of the Torah. The heart of
the Torah is
love.
The subjected people were usually considered
being
inferior, and they were usually no
more than tools,
I have ample proof for this from what
I know and
heard. Also Yehudah often had this
attitude as Jews
too got involved in 'overseas business'
although maybe
some were a bit better.
In Holland there were eg the Molukkans,
who were taken
to Holland by the government, and were
promised that
they could return later. The Molukkans
were very
pro-Dutch and for the Dutch Royal house.
'Well' these
people were a bit like little children,
and the Dutch
were much more evolved, had more power.
They just
didn't tell the truth and the Molukkans
could not go
back at all. I do not know the full
content of the
story but this much is true. So the
Molukkans who even
fought for the Dutch in a war in their
area, (are the
Molukkans part of a tribe?) were taken
to Holland and
then kept here, a one way ticked whereas
they were
told that there would be a return ticket
for them.
Even slaves in Israel had a better
treatment, there
were laws for them. If they wanted
to stay after a
while, because they had grown attached
to their
masters, o.k. That is out of love.
This love must have
been initiated by their 'masters',
why else would
these slaves have wanted to stay if
the law released
them and redeemed them after a period
of time? And
there were as I read the posted article,
many laws
that prevented the keeper of a slave
from exploiting
the situation.
The fact that there were other empires
and other
rulers before the Western colonialization,
and that
these other empires were worse, does
not mean that the
Western colonalization and its way
of handling things
has to be considered as the best alternative.
Since
the Torah is is the best alternative.
And it can not
be used or misinterpreted.
To deny what has all taken place, would
be handy but
it is obvious, that it is not according
to truth.
Africans were taken and treated as
slaves, they were
forced from their homes to places they
had never been.
It is an unnatural situation. It is
exiled tribes
taking 'poor Cham' to their places
of exile, but apart
from that, it is simply unjust to say
the least and a
crime. They were driven out of their
homes after
having been approved like cattle, approved
for
usefulness; rowed their own boats so
to speak to the
USA, etc. and many died from exhaustion.
Is that not
true?
The tribes were slaves in Mitsrayim
and were later
removed from the Land after they had
lived there and
after they could have followed the
Torah in the Land.
Except from Yehudah, all the other
tribes, kept
together in groups, finally settled
somewhere, and I
believe, accepted and maybe had to
accept, attitudes
and beliefs and identities that were
veiling who they
really were. Is it not so that even
if this is the
case, the responsibility to act justly,
still exists.
But is it difficult to treat an inexperienced
people
in India or Africa or Indonesia, as
more than as a
tool? That seem a responsibility for
'rulers', but
most rulers which are not Isrealites
cannot handle
this responsibility. Israelites can,
because they have
been given it by G-d.
A slave works for the benefit of his
master, but it is
better to work close to the goodness
of G-d.
Since I live in Amsterdam, and have
travelled a bit
too, I know a little bit about other
cultures and
understand too, how one can come to
think that there
are good alternatives and lesser alternatives.
Most
non-Israelite dictatorships weren't
that merciful. And
so there is no mercy or democracy in
most non-Israelite
countries. But there are valuable people
in and from
these countries who are not supposed
to be slaves to
harness, either. Love thinks these
things.
The historical lack of wise rule by
the Israelite
colonists, cannot be denied. It is
past times, things
can't be reversed, but it is in the
interest of a
nation not to deny its faults.
Shalom to you all,

Dear Yair
I have very happy memories of your
book "Lost Israelite Identity," as when I
was in Jerusalem in September 1997
I visited the bookshop in the Jewish
Quarter in the Old City where to my
astonishment and surprise I saw your
book. I simply had to take it of the
shelf and when I saw the subtitle on
the front cover I was even more amazed
and I immediately decided to purchase
it. I believe it may well have been
the last copy in the shop, but your book
lit a fire within me that has become
a veritable blaze. (please reserve me
several copies).
Before the
Tribes of Israel can possibly return
to Zion they must first of all be
informed of who they really are. They
must be told about their extra
ordinary origins. They must be informed
of their Israelite heritage and
their Israelite roots. It is only when
their true Israelite identity is
revealed to them that we can begin
to direct them back to Zion. I believe
that going back to Zion means two things.
FIRST - it means going back to
"the Ancient Paths" of Torah observance.
SECOND - it means a physical return
of the Ten Tribes (the House of Israel)
to Zion in Eretz Israel.
To accomplish the 'First' literally
tens of thousands of Torah teachers will
be required all around the world where
the ten tribes are located. These
teachers first of all need to be trained,
as all of them need to speak the
same thing. It is a work of huge proportions
- according to the Bible we are
priviledged to be involved in the greatest
prophetic and miraculous work of
God for all time.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT - BUT WE HAVE THE
AWESOME PRIVILEGE TO BE INVOLVED IN THE
PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS FOR THE SECOND
EXODUS!!!! This is the work you and
I, as well as all the others associated
with Brit Am are involved in.
Moses, when referring to the EXODUS
FROM EGYPT CALLED IT THE GREATEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED SINCE CREATION -
DEUT 4: 32-34
"FOR ASK NOW CONCERNING THE DAYS THAT
ARE PAST, WHICH WERE BEFORE YOU, SINCE
THE DAY THAT GOD CREATED MAN ON THE
EARTH, AND ASK FROM ONE END OF HEAVEN TO
THE OTHER, WHETHER ANY GREAT THING
LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED, OR ANYTHING LIKE
IT HAS BEEN HEARD? DID ANY PEOPLE EVER
HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD SPEAKING OUT OF
THE MIDST OF THE FIRE, AS YOU HAVE
HEARD, AND LIVE? OR DID GOD EVER TRY TO
GO AND TAKE FOR HIMSELF A NATION FROM
THE MIDST OF ANOTHER NATION, BY
TRIALS, BY SIGNS, BY WONDERS, BY WAR,
BY A MIGHTY HAND AND AN OUTSTRETCHED
ARM, AND BY GREAT TERRORS, ACCORDING
TO ALL THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD DID FOR
YOU IN EGYPT BEFORE YOUR EYES?"
Yes, it is quite true to say that there
has never been anything to surpass
the miraculous Exodus of the children
of Israel (some three million people)
from their bondage and captivity in
Egypt. YET THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF A SECOND
EXODUS SO GREAT AND OF SUCH MONUMENTAL
PROPORTIONS THAT IT WILL COMPLETELY
ECLIPSE THE FIRST EXODUS. Just let
us see what the prophet Jeremiah
prophesies about this yet future event
that is to occur in the time of the
end.
Jeremiah 16: 14
"THEREFORE BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING,
SAYS THE LORD, THAT IT SHALL NO MORE
BE SAID, THE LORD LIVES WHO BROUGHT
UP THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM THE LAND
OF EGYPT, BUT, THE LORD LIVES WHO BROUGHT
UP THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM THE
LAND OF THE NORTH AND FROM ALL THE
LANDS WHERE HE HAS DRIVEN THEM. FOR I
WILL BRING THEM BACK INTO THEIR LAND
WHICH I GAVE TO THEIR FATHERS."
This 'Second Exodus' is about the return
of the Ten Tribed House of Israel
returning to Zion to be finally reunited
with the House of Judah into the
UNITED KINGDOM OF GREATER ISRAEL. It
is over this Kingdom that the Messiah
of Israel will reign, and it is through
this Kingdom that the whole earth
will be blessed.
For us to be involved in this Divine
Plan is a privilege beyond compare -
there really is no greater privilege
than to be called as 'a Watchman on
Mount Ephraim!'
"FOR THERE SHALL BE A DAY WHEN THE
WATCHMAN WILL CRY ON MOUNT EPHRAIM,
'ARISE, AND LET US GO UP TO ZION, TO
THE LORD OUR GOD.'" Jeremiah 31: 6
Even today God is calling and commissioning
His end time Watchmen and women.
Can you hear His Divine call?
Shalom Shalom
