2. Dan and the Viking Serpent Trail
by Rich Griffiths
Subj: Genesis commentary
From: RGriff
Yair,
I enjoyed your synopsis of Genesis.
The statements regarding the tribes were
meant to provide us with keys/symbols/icons
that would help us unlock their
location and destiny. When I hear people
simply dismiss the possibility of
the tribes migrating in Europe and
being present now in world affairs my mind
immediately leaps to Genesis 49:17
Dan will be a serpent by the roadside a
viper along the path. Pick up any volume
on the history of the Vikings and
one will usually see pictures of the
Vikings (some even named after their
father Dan "Danes") in their dragon/serpent
ships low in the water with a
huge serpent head and serpents carved
intermingling "the beast motif" on the
outside of their ships. In their migrations
on land they often left runic
stones with their alphabet carved between
two lines coiled on the stone
representing a serpent. How could anything
be more plain?

3. Personal experiences and Tracing
of name
From: GADDITE
Subject: First E-mail.
Dear Yair,
This is my first e-mail to you. I am
a 63 year old retired airline pilot
who love to rebuild Chevrolet 350 CID
engines to make the a little more
radical that when they come from the
factory. I am trying to learn Hebrew.
I have studied the Bible in English
translations since 1973. I understand
how important the message of Brit-Am
is to the whole world. I believe it is
the strongest signal to the world that
Moshiach is about to appear for the
"Messianic Redemption". That all Israel
will be gathered to the Land. That
the elusive Peace that is presently
being searched for will finally be with
us.
During my life I have had many Jewish
friends. There was always a bond
there which I could not understand.
However, as I began to read your
material on the Lost Tribes I began
to understand that bond. It was family.
I have read all the articles you posted
to Eddie Chumney, and I own your
books Ephraim and Joseph.
Some unusual things have happened to
our family. During Sukkot 5760 we
discovered that our family name appears
in The TANAKH at 2 Kings 9:27 (JPS)
both the 1917 and 1986 Editions. The
phrase House of the Garden as rendered
in English by the translators; in Hebrew
it is Beit Haggan. Our family name
is Heggan. I did an on line search
at Genealogy.com and found that the name
can be traced back to circa 186 CE.
The name Heh-Gimel-Nun sofiet is a
common name in Europe. The countries
that I personally know where the name
is prevalent are Scotland, England,
Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Belgium,
Holland, and Germany. That doesn't
prove any thing but to me is very
interesting in that they are the countries
you refer to so often as being
locales for the Lost Tribes. My Great
Grand Father came from Scotland to
America in the early 1900's. The other
unusual thing is that three years
age my wife found out from her step
mother that my wife's family name
Mayers (English) was change from Meier
in the 1300's when the family moved
from Germany to England. My wife whose
name is Judith believes that is
enough evidence for her to believe
that she is Jewish. She proudly speaks
of her Jewish heritage, and wears the
appropriate Jewish Jewelry. We are
aware that Rabbinical Teaching is that
the mother must be Jewish in order
for the offspring to be Jewish. However,
God speaks to us that the lineage
is through the Fathers. So when Moshiach
comes He will straighten it all
out. In the mean time we are making
testimony that we are Hebrews. I use
the e-mail name "gaddite" because the
only name in Hebrew I could find that
was close to my family name was Haggai
who was from Gad.
We have been unable to gather with
a congregation on Shabbat; so we
consecrate the day by our selves at
home. We received a Shabbat Siddur from
Mark Ensign that we read over the wine
and Challah which we make. On the
morning of Shabbat we do Our Torah
study according to The Orthodox Jewish
Calendar. We use Stone's TANAKH, and
the JPS versions to read from. We do
this in Honor of our Jewish brethren
who have preserved it so Ephraim could
become observant when he gave up his
detestable things, confessed his sins
and the sins of his fore fathers and
returned to Torah.
Our one goal is to one day make Aliyah..
In other words we want to go Home
to Israel. However, the current Rabbinical
thought prohibits us from
returning.
Most Cordially,
George Elmer, Heggan

They said:
>>If God's Israel were to be in the
Isles north and west of Jerusalem (The
Isles afar off),
What an ignorance is that! The "Isles"
represented the Goyim in ancient
Jewish literature, and in a concrete
way, for the Israelites it was a
common term to define Greece, as that
was the "afar off" land for them in
those times.
and Great Britain is not Israel, then
Great Britain must be destroyed and
another nation found to replace her.
It'd be a great relief for all mankind…
If we are not Israel, how does it come
that we have Israel's Sabbath, which
was to be a sign, their Mosaic laws
(the only nations having them),
???? Up to this time, not any Anglo-saxon
people has kept the Shabbath, not
any Mosaic law either!!!! They're still
the most fanatical
Sunday-worshippers! Even the Roman
feast of "Christmas" is more sacred
among Anglo-saxons than among Catholics!
Anglo-saxons have never been
circumcised and have never performed
any Mosaic law at all! They've always
been heathen, since their very beginning,
and they still are. They're
described as blond and very white peoples
by the ancient historians, Greek,
Romans, etc. and very likely among
the peoples that took part in the Trojan
war, generally called "Thracians".
The same Germanic historian, Jordanes,
asserted this. Were Israelites blond,
quite white people? Was any Semitic
people like that? If you believe to
be Israelites, the first thing to do is
to abandon your Jeroboamic cult, remove
your illegal priests from office
and turn back under Levitic authority!
their military prowess, for they
were to be God's battle axe to destroy
the nations.
All empires fall, the USA are just
doing what Romans did before, and
somebody else will come after to do
the same thing. Romans and the
succeeding empires had credits to make
the same claim. By the way, in
Daniel's vision, the one who was appointed
to "destroy the nations" (not to
restore justice) is the fourth beast!
You are identifying your "holy" race
with the beast that "destroys" (what
your nations are actually doing…).>>>
Answer by Brit-Am:
The Lost Tribes of Israel were to be
to the north and west of the Land of
Israel and in islands. This could be
Greece if we accepted this criteria in
isolation but we have to take it in
conformity with other indications. We
must find areas that are at the ends
of the earth (geographical
extremities), islands, to the north
and west, peopled by a sea-faring
nation who are the most powerful and
richest people on earth and colonizers
of others lands with their main base
in the north but also with outposts to
the west, east and south and in the
Land of Sinim meaning Australia. We
have to look for national symbols that
fit those of Israelite Tribes and
Tribal names and the names of Tribal
clans etc. We end with the conclusion
that there is only one national group
that meet all of the needed
qualifications.
They do not follow the Mosaic Law but
then neither did they before they
were exiled. They also stopped being
circumcised before they were exiled.
Incidentally At the height of the greatness
of the USA and Australia (and
Australia once was great without realizing
it) most of the males were
circumcised. In my opinion their Christianity
may have been heathen but at
the same time they had more real respect
for the Bible than any other
Gentiles and many of them were close
to the Hebraic ideal and in their own
way even close to Judah. They were
never really so blond as described but
even if they were, blonds were common
amongst northern Israelites before
the exile as indicated by Rabbinical
sources, and Egyptian illustrations,
and other sources, see our books “The
Tribes” and “Lost Israelite
Identity”. There is also the factor
of environmental influence acting on a
genetical potential which however you
explain it does exist according to
the reality we see in both mankind
and in the animal kingdom. The vision of
Daniel is open to interpretation and
should not be explained in ways that
contradict the rest of Scripture.
