1. Winston Churchill, the Threat from Germany (1911), and a Biblical Message.
In July, 1911, the Germans sent a gunboat, the "Panther", to Agadir a port in Morocco considered the sphere of France.
The Moroccans were in rebellion and the German action was viewed as a move on their behalf and against both France and Britain who together dominated the Mediterranean Sea. The Germans backed down on Agadir but continued their arms race and naval armament against the British Empire. It seemed obvious that War was almost inevitable as indeed it broke out in 1914.
Wikipedia (Agadir Crisis) tells us:
# Daniel Yergin, in his book, The Prize[5] had argued that it was this incident that led Winston Churchill, then Britain's Home Secretary, to the conclusion that the Royal Navy must convert its power source from coal to oil in order to preserve its supremacy. Until then, the locally abundant coal was favoured over riskier overseas oil (which came mostly from Persia), but the speed and efficiency offered by oil convinced him that "Mastery itself was the prize of the venture". Subsequently, Churchill was asked by Prime Minister Asquith to become First Lord of the Admiralty, which he accepted. #
Churchill was awed by the task laid upon him.
# In "The World Crisis" he has described the end of this great day:
'That night when I went to bed I saw a large Bible lying on a table in my bedroom. My mind was dominated by the news I had received of the complete change in my station and of the task entrusted to me. I thought of the peril of Britain, peace-loving, unthinking, little prepared, of her power and virtue, and of her mission of good sense and fair play. I thought of mighty Germany, towering up in the
splendour of her Imperial State and delving down in her profound, cold, patient, ruthless calculations...I opened the book at random and in the 9th Chapter of Deuteronomy I read:
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
It seemed a message of reassurance. #

2. Rob Moore from New Zealand: Joseph to Bring the "Great Deliverance"!'
Re:
# Joseph in the Eyes of the "Rebbe" #

Dear Britam;
From your web article one very basic point appears to be completely missing from your Rebbe's note on 'Redemption'. It is to be found written in the plain text of Genesis 45. It was Joseph who was ordained by the Almighty to redeem (save) the tribes of Jacob "by a great deliverance", and that included saving Judah. Interesting prophetic implications indeed when considering the birth and restoration of Jacob in the last days!

3. Answer to Question about Finding Individual Israelite Identity

Hi there,
I have just stumbled across your site and hoping you can help me with information about how I go about finding out where my ancestry line comes from. I read somewhere that getting DNA tests done can show where and what peoples I descend from but am not sure how to go about it, if its accurate, how do we know etc.
I have a deep love for Israel and the Jewish people and have always longed to go there - maybe there's something to it'!
Anyway, hope you can help.
Shalom
Corey

Corey Shalom,
We cannot help much for individual family names.
In some cases DNA may be of assistance since it might show you to which families you may be somehow connected.
DNA may not show much at all or it may show quite a lot.
Anyway, peruse our web-site and articles.
