1. Question on National emblem of USA
Question?:
A statement he [Davidiy] made in his
article was:
It was proposed and seriously considered
to adopt Hebrew as the national
language and the Mosaic Code as obligatory
Constitutional Law. A picture of
the Israelites crossing the Red Sea
was suggested as the National emblem
I never heard this before. Where did
it come from?
Jim
Answer: The point concerning the national
Emblem can be confirmed from
Nicholas Howe "Migration and Mythmaking
in Anglo-Saxon England", 1989,
2001, USA
p.1. He quotes from Julian P. Boyd,
editor, "The Papers of Thomas
Jefferson, Volume I: 1760-1776", 1950,
p.495:
Howe (p.1) says:
<<In 1776, Thomas Jefferson oproposed
that the seal for the newly declared
United States of America should represent
"the children of Israel in the wilderness,
led by a cloud by day and a
pillar of fire by night ; and on the
other side, Hengist and Horsa, the
saxon chiefs from whom we claim the
honor of being descended, and whose
political principles and form of government
we have assumed" (Boyd 1950,
495).1 1. This description of
Jefferson's design appears in a letter from
John Adams to Abigail Adams. The letter
also includes designs proposed by
Adams himself and by Benjamin Franklin..>>
2. Sabeans and Germans

I am wondering if you could help me
a bit with this again. You

"According to our understanding of
the Prophet Isaiah (43;3 and
45;14 and the verses around them) it
was predicted that the Lost Ten
Tribes would rule over India, Egypt
and much of Negro Africa. The
trade with India would be theirs, the
recompense arriving (via the
Suez Canal) at Egypt would be theirs,
and they would transport
Negroes (many of whom were large-bodied)
across the seas in chains.
The whole passage ends on the point
that in the Last Days they will
return to worship the True God. In
their own way they had always
subconsciously acknowledged the One
God Of Israel to some degree,
but had publicly worshipped something
else as explained at length
elsewhere in Ephraim. In the Last days
Israel will then worship the
True God and descendants of the Negro
slaves will also see the
truth and bear witness to the God of
Israel. "
It's been previously speculated that
the Yoruba religion is a
remnant of the ancient Sabaean religion.
Ethiopian history accounts
Sabaeans as Hebrews. My question is
whether you view that many
African American descendants were of
Hebraic heritage? There are
certain subgroups here within the AA
community that are of Igbo-
Nigerian, Oromo-Ethiopian etc. and
maintain many traditions. Why
were these mentioned in scriptures
as returning to acknowledge the G-
d of the Jews if they were not in fact
Hebrews? I believe them to
have become paganized at some point.
And West African linguistic
patterns relate to Egyptian language
and culture. What about naming
practices of AA's in which they prefer
"Old Testament" names rather
than the christian NT or even Negro
spirituals/stories relating them
to Hebrew traditions or various borderline
Hebrew rituals many still
perform? Are they, in your opinion,
of Hebrew origins? It is known
that many regions of West Africa were
referred to as Yahoudi.
Regarding the Germans, I believe you
when you say many of them were
Hebrews. We do have many Germans in
our family line who were Jews,
but converted to protestantism to conceal
their true identities as
protection against persecution. I believe
them to have
been 'hiding' under Lutheranism, Quaker
and Mennonite faiths and
others returning under Reform Judaism
in later times. What are your
beliefs on this and do you have info
on pre-revolutionary sources on
Germans in America who have migrated
from Bavaria to America via
Wales and England? Thanks in advance.
3. William Rasmussen: Reuben-1
Shalom Yair: Todah rabah for the wonderful
analysis of
Reuven and for your continued research
on each of the
tribes. Your books have so aptly researched
each of
the tribes. It is good however, to
review and repeat
information so that Brit Am supporters
can fully
appreciate each of the tribes. As a
teacher of
English to foreign born individuals,
I know the value
of repetition. After a while, information
becomes a
part of an individual. Repeating previous
information
will help all of us to incorporate
the information and
memorize it. I so appreciate all that
you do.
May HaShem continue to sukkah
with you both in your heart and in
your family and
home. Your friend and supporter, Bill
Rasmussen

Yair Davidiy, I have followed your
articles for some years and they are
instructive and very interesting.
I have read two of your books about
the scattering of Israel and they are
interesting and entlightening literature.
This must have been a tremendous
and an unusual hard jobb for you to
get through. The books are scientific in
nature,
the subject is of course controversial,
but not difficult to follow.
To me the books seem highly probable,
yes, even true.
I feel to declare, you are a man ahead
of your's time,
I never saw this "angel" before.
