1. Phoenician DNA and a Query
Morgana wrote:
I haven't read the whole text but this is really interesting to me because of 2 DNA tests I did. 1st was the National Geographic Genographic Project where it was suggested that I am possibly a descendent of the Phoenicians. Until I did the 2nd test with DNA Consultants for 53 years I thought I was Jewish/Hebrew as did all my other relatives as far as I know back to 8 great-grandparents. According to Dr. Donald P. Yates I have no Jewish ancestry & I read his book "When Scotland Was Jewish" which I thought was quite intriguing. When I did their Fingerprint Test they said I was of much Celtic origin & that I was most closely matched to Scotland. Needless to say this really flipped me out!!! On another set of data not in any order they said I am Italian, French (down to 2 cities, even), Spanish, English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Belgian, Finnish, Polish, Swiss & maybe Greek.
What do you make of all of this?
Apparently, all my relatives were converts to Judaism & not Hebrew (didn't really affect me in any bad way because I had converted to Protestantism when I was 14. My family really didn't do anything Jewish, in fact we went every Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath to eat pork & shrimp at a Chinese restaurant.
I just wonder if you're seeing connections here regarding the Phoenicians or anything else?
I just stumbled on your website & felt some strange emotion which I can't describe but felt compelled to write to you & I don't even know if I've expressed myself in any accurate way regarding this subject & I feel like I have questions but I don't know what they are! Don't know what else to say but I'll see if someone can sort this out for me. Thank you
Sincerely,
Morgana
Brit-Am Reply:
Shalom,
We also did a test with Yates. They supply the DNA results along with explanation and interpretation.
We found that concerning the mt[female-transmitted]DNA their understanding was very precise and accorded with what we already knew but they could not otherwise have!!
On the other hand in regards to the Y[male-transmitted]DNA what they said did not correspond exactly with the data they had sent us.
It was indeed roughly in the same "ball park" but otherwise some good distance away.
In other words we suggest you take the data they have sent and re-check it for yourself.
FTDNA provides a free online service for this and so perhaps do others.
Look for people with the same family names as yourself or from the same regions with similar DNA.
You may find different results.
If you were born Jewish it does not matter what your DNA is, you are still Jewish and cannot do anything about it.
There are many Gentiles who would give very very much to be in your place.
We were all born as we wished to be born according to the inner will of our deepest soul.
You agreed to be what you are and wanted it.
Your life goal is determined by it.
God bless you
Yair.

THE PEACE PROCESS, JUDAH, AND THE TEN TRIBES
by Alexander Zephyr
BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES
http://www.britam.org/peace2.html
Contents:
Foreword from the Editor.
No Peace is Possible!.
Arabs do not want Jews! Period!!
There is no Peace Partner!!
Has America Abandoned Israel?
Outstanding Christian Supporters of Israel.
The Chosen Peoples.
A Time to Become Aware of Israelite Ancestry.
Where are the Ten Tribes Today?
Extract:
We sincerely believe that the time has arrived for mainstream Christians, descendants of Joseph and other tribes of Israel in exile today, wherever they are, to awake to their Israelite identity, repent and acknowledge the God of Israel; and start helping Judah in his lonely fight against the unjust and corrupt World, to bring God's Plan to a glorious conclusion.
3. Jeremiah 4:
NKJV Translation, Summary of and Extracts from Brit-Am Biblical Commentary
Jeremiah 4:
1 If you will return, O Israel, says the LORD,
Return to Me;
And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight,
Then you shall not be moved.
2 And you shall swear, The LORD lives,
In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness;
The nations shall bless themselves in Him,
And in Him they shall glory.
3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:
Break up your fallow ground,
And do not sow among thorns.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD,
And take away the foreskins of your hearts,
You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Lest My fury come forth like fire,
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.
5 Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say:
Blow the trumpet in the land;
Cry, Gather together,
And say, Assemble yourselves,
And let us go into the fortified cities.
6 Set up the standard toward Zion.
Take refuge! Do not delay!
For I will bring disaster from the north,
And great destruction.
7 The lion has come up from his thicket,
And the destroyer of nations is on his way.
He has gone forth from his place
To make your land desolate.
Your cities will be laid waste,
Without inhabitant.
8 For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth,
Lament and wail.
For the fierce anger of the LORD
Has not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD,
That the heart of the king shall perish,
And the heart of the princes;
The priests shall be astonished,
And the prophets shall wonder.
10 Then I said, Ah, Lord GOD!
Surely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem,
Saying, You shall have peace,
Whereas the sword reaches to the heart.
11 At that time it will be said
To this people and to Jerusalem,
A dry wind of the desolate heights blows in the wilderness
Toward the daughter of My people,
Not to fan or to cleanse.
12 A wind too strong for these will come for Me;
Now I will also speak judgment against them.
13 Behold, he shall come up like clouds,
And his chariots like a whirlwind.
His horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe to us, for we are plundered!
14 O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness,
That you may be saved.
How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
15 For a voice declares from Dan
And proclaims affliction from Mount Ephraim:
16 Make mention to the nations,
Yes, proclaim against Jerusalem,
That watchers come from a far country
And raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
17 Like keepers of a field they are against her all around,
Because she has been rebellious against Me, says the LORD.
18 Your ways and your doings
Have procured these things for you.
This is your wickedness,
Because it is bitter,
Because it reaches to your heart.
19 O my soul, my soul!
I am pained in my very heart!
My heart makes a noise in me;
I cannot hold my peace,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried,
For the whole land is plundered.
Suddenly my tents are plundered,
And my curtains in a moment.
21 How long will I see the standard,
And hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 For My people are foolish,
They have not known Me.
They are silly children,
And they have no understanding.
They are wise to do evil,
But to do good they have no knowledge.
23 I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void;
And the heavens, they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled,
And all the hills moved back and forth.
25 I beheld, and indeed there was no man,
And all the birds of the heavens had fled.
26 I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness,
And all its cities were broken down
At the presence of the LORD,
By His fierce anger.
27 For thus says the LORD:
The whole land shall be desolate;
Yet I will not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn,
And the heavens above be black,
Because I have spoken.
I have purposed and will not relent,
Nor will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee from the noise of the horsemen and bowmen.
They shall go into thickets and climb up on the rocks.
Every city shall be forsaken,
And not a man shall dwell in it.
30 And when you are plundered,
What will you do?
Though you clothe yourself with crimson,
Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
Though you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you will make yourself fair;
Your lovers will despise you;
They will seek your life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in labor,
The anguish as of her who brings forth her first child,
The voice of the daughter of Zion bewailing herself;
She spreads her hands, saying,
Woe is me now, for my soul is weary
Because of murderers!
Brit-Am Biblical Commentary
Summary of Jeremiah ch.4
http://www.britam.org/Jeremiah1to5.html
Chapter 4. We are called upon to repent. The destruction of Judah by Babylon is described but terms used are reminiscent of modern warfare and indicate a future disaster. The Christian Israelites of Ephraim and Dan and all the others are also warned of coming tribulation.
Extracts from Brit-Am Biblical Commentary to Jeremiah ch.4
http://www.britam.org/Jeremiah1to5.html#4
[Jeremiah 4:5] DECLARE YE IN JUDAH, AND PUBLISH IN JERUSALEM; AND SAY, BLOW YE THE TRUMPET IN THE LAND: CRY, GATHER TOGETHER, AND SAY, ASSEMBLE YOURSELVES, AND LET US GO INTO THE DEFENCED CITIES.
He was speaking to Israel, then he switched to Judah. Later Jeremiah turns back to Israel. Jeremiah lived through the siege and capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. Most of his prophecies are structured around these events but they are also applicable to the future and intended for it.
[Jeremiah 4:30] AND WHEN THOU ART SPOILED, WHAT WILT THOU DO? THOUGH THOU CLOTHEST THYSELF WITH CRIMSON, THOUGH THOU DECKEST THEE WITH ORNAMENTS OF GOLD, THOUGH THOU RENTEST THY FACE WITH PAINTING, IN VAIN SHALT THOU MAKE THYSELF FAIR; THY LOVERS WILL DESPISE THEE, THEY WILL SEEK THY LIFE.
You may think that you can offer them a Western life-style and humanitarian aid and that will placate them. They want to kill you. Even if it means that they will suffer greatly afterwards they crave to do you in. How can you compete with 40 heavenly virgins and various other delights?
4. Intended Article: The Need to Identify with Your Own Tribe!
We are all naturally concerned with our own salvation.
Each one of us has their own goals to achieve and issues to resolve.
If you were not prepared to go against the mainstream you probably would not have become interested in the subject of Brit-Am in the first place.
Divine Providence has chosen you for reasons of its own. You may not feel yourself better or more worthy than others, perhaps even less so. Nevertheless this information has begun to impress itself upon you for a reason.
The message has to be brought home to those around you.
Even if someone is not physically themselves descended from Israel the fact is that from the Biblical Perspective the Israelite Nations are and you are part of them and have an obligation towards them.
Spreading the message of Israelite Ancestry from the Brit-Am Movement of the Ten Tribes perspective is what this generation needs now.
We hope to speak more on this matter and may prepare an article about it.
5. Two New Series of Articles Already in Preparation.
(a) Western Hebrew-Celtic Culture.
Religion and Customs
(b) Gomerian Germanic Israelite Connections.
The first articles for both these series are already in preparation and should begin to go out within the next few days.
