THE DAUGHTER OF JUDAH'S KINGS

Hannah Senesh

OH HANNAH, DEAR HANNAH,
THE DAUGHTER OF JUDAH'S KINGS,
THE PRINCESS OF MANY POEMS,
THE QUEEN OF WHOM STORIES GLEAM -
WHAT MORE COULD I WRITE OF YOU,
COMPOSE ANOTHER MELODY?

A GEM POLISHED BY DESTINY,
OUR HERITAGE, OUR PRECIOUS LEGACY...
WHENEVER WE THINK OF YOU
IT CAUSES SUCH PERSONAL GRIEF,
BUT REMEMBERING YOUR STRONG CHARACTER
WE'RE RENEWED IN NATIONAL STRENGTH.

OH HANNAH, DEAR HANNAH,
OUR SISTER UNSEEN -
YOUR HEROIC WONDER AND AWE
WITHIN OUR HEARTS WILL NEVER CEASE.

Judging Jews by the Torah

Re: Good Jews oppose Obama

Where do you have the chutzpah to say anything about what is or isn't a "good Jew"?

Ever hear of the Torah? It's the standard I go by, as do good Jews.

The last I looked, you're a goy pretending to be something you aren't while at the same time denying what you are and why you're banned from ever setting foot in Israel again!

Apparently you have problems with your eyes as well as your ears because I am of the Israelite tribes of Joseph and Judah. If you still don't know the difference between the two, go educate yourself.

Joseph isn't Jewish!

Not All Twelve Tribes of Israel are Jewish?

The Israeli government informed Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio I was eligible to return in 2005. Don't facts matter in your world?

Blow Up the Mosques or An Expired Visa?

Israel sets date for 2005

I wish the Mossad would put you out of our misery once and for all.

How hateful your multiple personalities appear to be! It's sad the plain truth of my posts obviously disturbs your darkness. Shame on you for aiding and abetting the Nazi Muslim occupation of Judaism's holiest site - the TEMPLE Mount. Thankfully, the Temple Mount will soon be restored as the TEMPLE Mount and all your unclean kind, like so much chaff, will be swept away, history.

The Purpose of National Punishment

Israel's Chastising And Raising Back Up
By COG Member

The USA is on the course of destruction, and the danger from going down from within is just as great as going down from without, because right now aliens are devouring their strength, yet this ties in with Deut. 28 :43 and Isa 1:7.

We still do not know the time frame of the fall of Israel (Anglo-Saxons), but this is clearly shown in (Amos Ch 6), and it clearly speaks of a nation-s called the "Chief of the nations", and when the Eternal decides to chastise Israel (Anglo-Saxons and others), chastised they will be, but in His own time (Acts 1:7)

The thing that most people in the world do not realize is, that the Anglo-Saxons, mostly America and Britain have kept the world out of WW3, and if and when the Anglo-Saxons fall, the world's problems will have just begun, because there is a perpetual prophecy about Israel, in which the Eternal says of Israel and the great Nation-s descending from Abraham "I will bless those that bless you, and curse those who curse you" (Gen. 12:2-3), so if the world curses Israel and Judah, they are under a curse, and very near to being destroyed also; The Lord might chastise Israel, using other gentile nations to do so, but when He's through chastising Israel, He will turn around and deal with the other nations and give them a double measure of what they've done to Israel. (Rev. 18:6)

The Lord has chosen to bless Israel (Num. 23:23), so woe on them who curse her;
Germany killed 6 million Jews, but they lost 24 million of their own people, and the Lord has already pronounced a curse on any who curse Israel, because even though the Lord might chastise Israel, woe unto those, whom He uses to do it. (Isa 10:5-19).

And when the Eternal raises Israel back up, woe unto those that come against her (Isa. 10:15-19 ~ Zech. 10:5-8 ~ Zech. 12:2-9).

The Eternal has said that He will bring Joseph (Anglo-Saxons) down (Amos 4:3 ~ Amos 6:6,7), and that He will bring all Nations against Jerusalem (Zech. 12:3), in order to humble Judah, but He also says that He will surely raise them back up and start fighting the very nations of the world which have taken Joseph into captivity, and are seeking to destroy Judah and Jerusalem ( Zech. 10:3- 8 ~ Zech. 4-9).

The Eternal is still using Israel and Judah very much now to do His will, even though they are not really striving to serve Him as He desires, and they do not really know Him, but when He has chastised them, and brought them to repentance, He will use them as He did in the days of old, and He will show the world that He has favored Israel and Judah, and will use them to teach the whole world His ways and the Law shall go forth from Zion (Isa.2:3), and we shall all hear the Lord roar from Zion (Amos 1:2), and He will show the whole Earth that He is the Lord.

"Beyond Babylon" dedicated to increase light in this dark world

Years ago, shortly after my baptism in 1979, I felt led to write a book. I relate some information about it in the 'Author's Note' of Beyond Babylon and share more in Beyond Babylon: Hard Labor of Love.

I'm honored to say that the initial 'Introduction' to my book was written upon the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel. To top that off, it was during the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah - the Festival of Lights - the Feast of the Dedication! A glorious time commemorating the God-given victory of the few over the many, light over darkness, truth over error and the rededication of the purified Temple of God, since it had been polluted by foreigners from without and betrayed by Hellenists (liberal Jews) from within.

My hope and prayer is for Israel and Judah, British-Israelites and Jews, to become 'One Nation Under God,' a truly 'United Kingdom,' filled with the Holy Spirit of God, a Kingdom of Priests, becoming a LIGHT TO ALL NATIONS - the Temple of God.

Beyond Babylon is dedicated to increase light in this dark world, to rekindle the sacred embers of the Faith once delivered to Jerusalem, calling folks away from Rome, encouraging all to forsake Babylon, to move beyond babylon, and return to Zion where we belong.

For Zion's sake,
David Ben-Ariel

Stephen Flurry's response to Judean Voice ad

Stephen Flurry's response to Judean Voice ad

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

[Click on the ad to enlarge it]

It grieves me to report for the record, for the sake of the Church of God history, that too often politics has impeded the progress of the Work of God. The following is typical of the attitude I encountered when I shared my dreams for God's Church to reach out to Judah, informing them (the Philadelphia Church of God) of what I was doing:

Judean Voice Ad [The Judean Voice was a strong Jewish magazine read throughout New York City and Israel that taught the plain truth of the Torah as shared by former Israeli parliament member and rabbi, Meir Kahane]

Too bad the Church of God doesn't follow Mr. Armstrong's example and run FULL PAGE ADS in newspapers. If God's Church really wants to reach the general public they would run such ads that would generate attention and controversy. I'm doing what I can to reach "the cities of Judah" (Isa. 40:9) by blowing "the trumpet of Zion" and sounding "an alarm in [God's] holy mountain" (Joel 2:1), letting God's warning roar (Joel 3:16).

(Thursday, March 1, 2001)

Stephen Flurry promptly responded:

Too bad you don't follow Mr. Armstrong's example of submitting to God's government and growing within the body of His one true Church. Are you trying to say that by putting a FULL PAGE ad in the "Judean Voice," you are following in Mr. Armstrong's steps - that you are the one generating attention and controversy? Please.

My response:

Shalom Stephen,

What I said was I am DOING what I can to reach Judah with what I have, too bad God's Church didn't stop playing Church and only preaching to a converted audience and step out from behind the podium and GO TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. You've miserably failed to do that with all of your many resources.

Did Mr. Armstrong submit to those politicking in Sardis? [Church of God, Seventh Day] NO. Will I submit to the likes of Herr Leap who would have me obey men over God? Who would forbid me from doing all that I can for God? (Luke 9:50). NO. It's too bad the PCG [Philadelphia Church of God] has failed to apply MM (Malachi's Message) to themselves and quit looking to men to save them. It's too bad that too many have failed to learn that is IS following GOD'S GOVERNMENT when we refuse to obey men when it means disobeying God.

I've continued to grow, by God's grace, as a member of HIS Church (I wasn't baptized into any sect or denomination of men, remember?). I'm not a Catholic who thinks salvation is impossible outside of the Church hierarchy/religious establishment.

All that being said, I still feel that the PCG has more truth than any of the other splinter groups (like Mr. Armstrong felt about Sardis), but is not rich and in need of nothing (like some vainly imagine). That's why I still direct people and attention to the Philadelphia Trumpet [magazine] that many may glean what God will grant them. May God bless the PCG and every individual to continually grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (not any man).

Sincerely,
David Ben-Ariel

Beyond Babylon

Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall

Mr. Ben-Ariel clearly has a God-given love for the Jews and the nation of Israel. His Israeli lawyer has stated that David's "future is linked with that of the Jews," and Gershon Salomon, chairman of the Temple Mount Faithful says, "God has some special task" for him. His sacred bond with the land and people of Israel has been strengthened over the years by his service as a volunteer on eight kibbutzim (collective farms) throughout the Holy Land, including during Operation Desert Storm. As a firm believer in the Israelite roots and responsibilities of the Anglo-Saxons and Northwestern European peoples, David works towards the ultimate reconciliation and restoration of Joseph with Judah. As a student of biblical prophecy, he is alarmed about Germany and the Vatican's increasing control of the European continent, remodeling it after the Holy Roman Empire. As the outspoken author of Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall, he is determined to do all he can to help wake up the world to the clear and present danger Germany poses to world peace, with a special emphasis on the Middle East.

The English-Speaking Nations of White Israelites

Is God a racist? Does He discriminate? Did Jesus hate Gentiles? Was Paul prejudiced? Are Israelites and Jews superior to other peoples? Is God's favorite color white?

Anybody who reads the Bible should see that there are physical blessings and prophecies concerning the Jews, and those with a Worldwide Church of God background understand not only the Jews, but all 12 Tribes of Israel (specifically Joseph's Birthright), and that our physical blessings were to become a blessing to all nations and they have, even as our spiritual blessings (Judah's Scepter) through the King of the Jews (didn't God inspire the Romans to proclaim that message?), the King of Israel (first and foremost), offers everybody the incredible human potential (regardless of race) to be born again and enter the brilliant Kingdom-Family of God.

Herbert W. Armstrong spoke of the biblical promises of grace, and the biblical promises of race within The United States and Britain in Prophecy. Some, willfully or woefully ignorant (God knows), falsely accuse him of being racist, of actually hating other races. I dare say Herbert W. Armstrong was no more "racist" than the Bible teaches us to be.

Some, due to horrible indoctrination by the politically correct (PC) cult -- whose evil spirit has intoxicated society with self-righteous standards and a smug attitude -- would say God is a racist for choosing Israel to become His Servant Nation (aren't all nations equal?), that Yahshua (Jesus) was "insensitive" for telling the Samaritan woman that "salvation is of the Jews" and the Gentiles don't have a clue (John 4:21-22), that Yahshua was hateful for forbidding His Jewish disciples from going to any of the Gentiles and stating He was only sent to the House of Israel (Matt. 10:5-6), and bristle at Paul for being such a "bigot" for believing and teaching (without apology or hesitation) that God has ordained the Gospel go to "the Jew first and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16, 2:10).

I notice that all the Sabbath-keeping Church of God groups associated with the former Worldwide Church of God, purposely dumb down or tone down, White Israelite heritage (nothing to be ashamed of when every other group can be proud of their roots and are expected to be) and euphemistically refer to it and the biblical prophecies concerning the literal descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel as pertaining to "the English-speaking nations."

 

If they were on an internet forum they would quickly get called on it and asked, "What? Just what do you mean 'the English-speaking nations?' Every English speaker is an Israelite?" And then they would have to fidget about, and finally admit, reluctantly confess, oh my... "No, only those White peoples of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic or Northwestern European origins are undoubtedly Israelites and Jews -- the others among them are Gentiles." However, when I write, I write and speak the plain truth and say "White Israelites" - clearly referring to Anglo-Saxon-Celtics, Jews and the White peoples of Northwestern European ancestry.

If somebody wants to call that "racist," then they're racist and have a problem with God, the Bible and those who are White Israelites and who are not afraid to admit it. Was Paul a racist when he had to remind the Gentiles of their proper place in God's plan of salvation for all mankind? Is it racist or sexist to speak of roles or proper places for men and women and races?

Trust me, no matter how perfectly you try to explain race and grace, and God's perfect plan and supreme purpose for both, or anything biblical, some will ALWAYS find fault, some will always accuse you of being a racist or a bigot (because we believe Christ is the only Way to the Father) or whatever PC brand name strikes their fancy (sexist, homophobe).

However, we know Satan is the accuser of the brethren and stirs up misunderstandings and distorts what we believe. We should expect opposition to the plain truth of the Bible that is growing increasingly unpopular in this hostile world for those who dare to live, speak, write or teach it!

Before I understood the Israelite origins of the West, our Hebrew roots, I considered myself a Gentile and I thanked God for opening up salvation to "us Gentiles." I didn't get angry at him or Jews and call them or Him racist or have some inferiority complex or double standards where everybody can have "black pride" or "brown pride" and mention their color in their many race-conscious groups and organizations (BET, Miss Black America, Black Congressional Caucus, United Negro College Fund, NAACP, Brown Pride Forum), but don't you dare mention anything about the color white or proper white pride, heritage or integrity!

I can perceive how Satan has inspired this hypocritical confusion so folks will be afraid, intimidated to keep quiet about our Hebrew roots and White Israelite origins, to keep people in the dark about the prophecies concerning our white peoples for better and for worse, and to cower before the PC slave masters and generically refer to it as "the English-speaking nations." I've chosen, by the grace of God, to break free of the PC shackles and plantation and speak and write the plain truth. If I don't, who will?

America is not the Babylon of Revelation 18!

The United States is definitely not the Babylon of Revelation 18. My main two reasons for believing this are 1) we are Israelite in origin, not Gentile, as taught by Brit-Am Israel and 2) the prophesied revivals of the Roman Empire have always been in Europe and under Roman Catholic influence. That's why they would do well to research Europe's bitter roots that the Vatican wants them to "rediscover."

May God bless us all to FORSAKE BABYLON - at least what we know for sure: the pagan Babylonian Mystery Religion dressed in the drag of traditional Christianity - for the biblical Christianity Yeshua started and the early Church Jesus built followed (both Jewish and Gentile converts).

God bless America to repent and be spared from the nuclear holocaust the German-Jesuit EU will trigger against us (2 Chron. 7:14).

Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall - Chapter 6 - "Jesus and the Jews"

Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall

Jesus and the Jews


"Why don't the Jews accept Jesus?" I've been asked that so many times. My usual reply is "Why haven't the Christians?" At least the Jews are waiting for the proper imperial restoration. The Messiah's coming to sit on DAVID'S THRONE—not Caesar's or "St. Peter's." The Anointed One's going to rule from JERUSALEM—not Rome! Israel's descendants composed God's Kingdom on earth, not the Assyrian Germans or Chaldean Catholics.

God's Word will become the law of the land (Earth's constitution) from Zion. Heavenly truths will flow from God's Temple in Israel, not from the Vatican in Europe (Ezek. 47:1). Israel's God is eager to share His information, distribute wisdom, and disseminate knowledge from the "CITY OF TRUTH" (Zech.8:3).

Mankind's about to enter the mikveh (ritual bath) of God’s Holy Spirit (that will wash the world), and come out new men and women! The Bible covers everything, and its plans include everyone—no one will be left out (Isa. 11:9). We'll be saved from our sins, no longer swept away by them!

But renegade Jews, who became avowed atheists, apostates or professing Christians, projected their PERVERSION on others and captivated whole countries with wrong ideas. Those false Messiahs have held men hostage to their thoughts, and imprisoned others with poisonous ideologies!

Thanks to Torah-Jews— those who follow and believe the Bible (as they understand it) — God has preserved for us the knowledge and identity of the seventh day Sabbath and holy days and when to keep them (Rom. 3:2).

It’s been said, and it’s true, "More than the Jew have kept the Sabbath, the Sabbath has kept the Jew." It’s an identifying national sign that the "Lost Ten Tribes" didn't keep (Ex. 31:17). Sabbath observance brings recognition.

God knew most of our Israelite ancestors, because of debilitating sins, would lose their minds and forget His ways, considering themselves Gentile (Deut. 28:64). We would be sifted through many nations, but finally come into our own (Amos 9:9). God promised to restore our identity, and offer us repentance, before and during our final captivity. He makes possible renewal amid decay.

Is the modern-day nation of Israel a completely fulfilled prophecy? How can it be when most Jews haven't returned home? Not to mention the other tribes. David hasn't been resurrected as king yet and the Messiah hasn't come. For now, Israel fulfills, in part, various biblical prophecies. For example, God promised to "save Zion and build the cities of Judah" (Ps. 69:35). He's faithfully done that by rewarding Jewish efforts (Isa. 61:4; Ps. 102:13-14). God has used the Jews to make the desert blossom as the rose and protected them during this conversion process, just as Moses requested (Deut. 33:7).

Zechariah chapters 12-14 foretold the Jews would again be living in their God-given capital of JERUSALEM, with their own rulers, and that the "United Nations" would oppose God's Word and Israeli sovereignty and fight against Christ's return to set things straight!

Zechariah reveals that the Jews (not Jewish imposters, contrary to anti-Semitic slander) would again be a FORMIDABLE MILITARY POWER in the Middle East with God working in and through and for them. And the scriptures speak of "THE CITIES OF JUDAH" in these last days (Isa. 40:1-3). They don't refer to them as "stolen Arab cities" or "occupied territories!" However, Israel is only a type of what will happen after the next holocaust.

The True Israel

The Bible does prophesy "the Time of Jacob’s Trouble" will occur just before Messiah comes and saves us out of it. The tragedy about to strike this time will target the English-speaking peoples. Technically, we're the only ones who can claim the name "Israel." God's blessing was passed down from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to JOSEPH. Jacob laid his hands upon Joseph's two sons (Ephraim and Manasseh) and said, "Let my name [Israel] be named upon them" (Gen. 48:16). Only Joseph's sons were collectively called ISRAEL.

"Rachel" is about to mourn for her children. The Jews were never her children! They're descendants of Judah, Leah’s son. Rachel bore Jacob two sons: Joseph and Benjamin (Gen. 35:24). The prophet Jeremiah foresaw "Rachel" beside herself with grief. She was overwhelmed by her sorrow: "Thus says the LORD: 'A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, because they are no more" (Jer. 31:15).

Jacob's Trouble

The worst time in Earth's history is ahead! Dreadful days are fast approaching, and suffocating darkness is just around the bend! It's primarily the time of "Jacob's trouble." We've seen how it's the Anglo-Saxons (the sons of Joseph) who bear Jacob/Israel's name. We'll also bear the brunt of Europe’s wrath. "Rachel" SCREAMS in agony over our slaughter! It'll appear as if we've met our end….
But God comforts the afflicted women, and offers hope to men gone mad with misery, that we haven't passed the point of no return. Against every indication that we're finished, God will restore us to our ancient homeland (Jer. 31:16-20). He says we'll soon see how good we’ve had it, and how pampered and privileged we’ve been. We're not used to having our freedoms curtailed! We're unaccustomed to hunger, pain and deprivation. We're rich and spoiled!

Such terrifying prophecies should "scare us to death!" We ought to bury those ways that are bringing us to an early grave. A normal nation would suffer an anxiety attack and feel mental anguish over these horrors, but we stretch out and take it easy, preoccupied with trivial pursuits! We feed our faces and powder our noses, awash in luxury—but God sees our dirty laundry and warns us of a coming scourge! We don't want to hear it or believe it (Amos 6:3-7), so we
crank up the music and drown out God's words with liquor!

Jerusalem’s Fall

America's going to be on the run, Britain left high and dry! Europe won't give up until they've occupied our countries and rubbed our faces in the dirt! God says we've acted like a tramp, so Europe will trample us. We've lost our salt and have become good for nothing, so they'll walk all over us!

Despite false assurances from rabbis that Jerusalem will never fall again (because the process of redemption can't be stopped), Jerusalem is going to fall for peace! Zion will be taken and the Lion caged! The UN is going to violate Israel's agreement and break Europe's promise! In breach of their LYING GUARANTEES, Jewish homes will be broken into and their women raped!

Why? In part because the Nazi-Muslims continue to erase all archaeological evidence of any Jewish presence upon the Temple Mount. It’s an open secret, protested by too few. So since we obviously don't care for God's House, why should He care for ours? (Ps. 106:24; Hag. 1:4). We've looked the other way while they've defiled His holy place, so God will permit personal Jewish belongings to be stolen and family heirlooms looted, while half of Jerusalem is bled in broad daylight! The Old City's Jewish Quarter will be given no quarter by the fascist Europeans, who will empty them out and quarter "peacekeepers" instead (Zech.14:1-2).

The process of redemption can't be stopped, but it can be "interrupted" as part of that holy process. Biblical prophecy and history prove this fact. Such rebellious rabbis who state otherwise are like those stubborn religious leaders who gave ancient Judah a false sense of security that they were invincible because of the
Temple (Jer. 7:4). Their "lucky charm" didn't save them, any more than the Tabernacle did other sinners (Jer. 7:12, 14). And, more recently, those Torah-scholars and religious Jews who felt safe and secure in their European ghettos were dead wrong! They should have returned to Zion with the Socialists. Actually, they should have led the way!

Europe’s New Crusade

Rome will again ravage the Holy Land! Abominable armies will quickly pollute "Palestine." The prophet Daniel warns of treacherous Jews who invite disaster: those secular politicians (who profane the public's trust) and informers (lacking intelligence) who eagerly conspire to sell out Israel for a price—although it'll cost
them their lives! (Dan. 11:30-32).

EUROPE'S NEW CRUSADE WILL BETRAY BOTH ARABS AND JEWS! It'll be launched under the guise of "peace." Egypt's going to be sacked (Dan. 11:42-45), Libya looted, and Ethiopia enslaved! The dark prince and wizard of war will send his "peace-keeping" troops to the Middle East to recapture Jerusalem for the Catholic faith and prepare for his arrival! He'll bless their mission and consecrate their carnage from his haunted house (built upon the bones of sorcerers).

The pope's going to cast his "love spell" over the whole world! Nations will fall under his influence and empty Jews will find themselves enchanted by his ideas. Some Israelis, flattered by attention and filled with an inflated sense of self-importance, will get seduced and swallow risky potions for "peace." They'll wake up too late! Israel's fatal attraction will kill us, and Judah's deadly liaison will curse them.

After World War II, the scraggly remnant of European Jewry scrambled for "Palestine." Others were sprinkled around the globe. The nation of Israel was born—again! God had prepared the way for that momentous day (May 15, 1948) by sending the British (Ephraim) to liberate the land from the Edomite Turks, just as prophesied. In November, 1917, the Balfour Declaration recognized the right of Jews to a homeland, and during Hanukkah in December, the Royal squadron flew over Jerusalem (Isa. 31:5) as General Allenby delivered Zion—without firing a shot! The British-Israelites ended the Gentile occupation! (Obadiah 18).

Presently, the Jews hold the Land in trust for all Israel (Rom. 3:2). Israel—not Ishmael or Germany or Spain—is the sole Defender of the Holy Land, possessor of every biblical right and chief executive officer. A number of Jews have returned, and undoubtedly a representative amount of the other tribes, but they only foreshadow the greatest Zionist movement yet to occur! We're getting close to another EXODUS (Jer. 23: 7-8).

Judah and Israel Enslaved

The United States, the British Commonwealth and Israel are DESTINED TO LOSE WWIII! We're going down and out together! We'll be reunited in NATIONAL CAPTIVITY—something that hasn't happened since our slavery in Egypt. The Northern ten-tribed Kingdom of Israel fell 130 years before the ancient Kingdom of Judah. This time (Jer. 50:33) EUROPE will conquer us together! They’ll refuse to let us go! A great Gentile Empire was prophesied to emerge just prior to Messiah (Dan. 7). DANIEL IDENTIFIES ROME'S REVIVAL AS THAT BEAST-POWER!

An Unholy Emperor and Scheming Pope

After God's plan has been fulfilled and the European Federation of States have accomplished His purpose, God will direct His attention to their dictator (Isa.10: 12-19). God's going to have to put Europe's leader back in his place and remind him he's only human—NOT A DIVINE EMPEROR (Rev. 13:18). He's numbered among men (6), not equal with God (7). His striking military success and
unusual abilities are only because God has predetermined which nations will fall. They're doomed from the start, having condemned themselves by rejecting God's terms for life and liberty!

If the Anglo-Saxon and Jewish peoples continue living in sin—instead of turning from our wicked ways—it's inevitable that we'll die in sin! "Cast away all the transgressions by which you have offended, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit, that you may not die, O House of Israel. For it is not My desire that anyone shall die—declares the Lord GOD. Repent, therefore, and live!"
(Ezek. 18:31-32 JPS).

God's still waiting for our change of heart. Time's running out quickly! We don't have a day to waste. Satan's inspiring Europe's future military leader right now! Visions of grandeur—the restoration of Rome's glory—are whetting his appetite, preparing him for compulsive behavior!

Europe's beast will devour anything that gets in his way! We'll admit we've deserved punishment, but we're going to beg God to save us from Europe's madmen: "Pour out Your wrath on the nations who have not heeded You, Upon the clans that have not invoked Your name. For they have devoured Jacob, have devoured and consumed him, And have laid desolate his homesteads" (Jer. 10:25
JPS).

God says since we’ve hated His ways, and didn't want to hear His words, He'll give us over to those who hate and despise us (Lev. 26:17). We'll hear them shouting orders and spitting curses at us! We’re talking about a BLOODTHIRSTY ANIMAL!

Europe's going to be foaming at the mouth! Like a shepherd tries to rescue what he can, two legs or a piece of an ear, God will have to save what's left of us. Regardless of how wealthy of a home or how rich of a neighborhood we live in, God warns we're going to be taken out and rounded up (Amos 3:12, 15). The Predator's going to sniff us out and empty our homes, leaving only a skeletal frame! But King Messiah will go through the ruins and salvage Israel.

Joining the military madman in Europe (who's actually an evil genius), will be a sovereign religious figure that overshadows Earth’s affairs. This father of lies and murderer of truth will have his evil eyes set on Jerusalem! He'll harness dark powers and bridle political energies, directing them to do his bidding, in an attempt to repossess the Holy Land (Ezek. 28:2-3) and occupy the Temple! God
will permit them to occupy Jerusalem but commands them to steer clear of the Temple Mount, but they'll sin and trespass upon its holy ground and undermine their authority and number their days (Mark 13:14, Rev. 11:2).

Where’s the Temple?

Something’s missing. Rome is synonymous with the Vatican, Mecca with the Kaaba, and Jerusalem's known for its Western Wall. But WHY should we stand before the Wall, letting it obstruct our vision, when we could be praying in a Temple? Why should Jews continue to bow before an illegitimate Gentile decree that tells them where to pray? (Isa. 10:1). The Turks designated the Wall as an
alternative “holy” site since Muslims had stolen the Temple Mount! If we rightly refused to accept Uganda as a Jewish homeland, why should Jews settle for anything less than a Temple for worship? That basically, is the gist of the message our demonstrations seek to send.

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement doesn't only protest the ongoing Nazi-Muslim occupation of our Temple Mount, but proclaims that this unnatural set of circumstances will come to an end. We're confident that Muslim rule on the Temple Mount will soon be history, just as surely as the Berlin
Wall fell and Eastern Europe came out from under the Russian heel. The restoration of Jews from all over the world to their ancient homeland is only the first step towards the redemption of our land and lives. Israel, for the most part, is an empty, secular state. It’s about as "Jewish" as America is "Christian!"

THE FACT THAT THE TEMPLE MOUNT IS STILL WITHOUT A TEMPLE STANDS AS AN INDICTMENT AGAINST ISRAEL! God will hold Israel's political and religious leaders responsible!

Jerusalem’s known as the heart of Israel, the crown of the "Jewish" state. The Temple Mount is the crown jewel. This historic Jewish treasure is a "diamond in the rough." It awaits our craftsmen's tender loving care to bring it to the brilliant perfection it deserves (Ps. 50:2). We protest that this responsibility hasn't been fulfilled yet, but we proclaim that these things could change overnight. The world was caught off guard by the rapid succession of events that shook Europe
and the former USSR. The "experts" exposed how ignorant they really are.

Nobody needs to be surprised when inevitable events ROCK JERUSALEM and they feel its aftershocks worldwide. They've been foretold. What’s presently missing in Israel will be found when we're filled with our historic mission and accomplish our intended purpose: the restoration of the sacrificial system and the construction
of the Third Temple!

Hanukkah Hypocrisy

Shamefully, today’s leaders reflect a GHETTO-MENTALITY and expose the sorry state of Israel and Jewish affairs! They're starved for this world’s affection, afraid to be different, and too willing to sacrifice our unique identity. God condemns those KAPOS OF COMPROMISE who would rather sell-out than take an unpopular stand.

Although it's not politically correct, and goes against our democratic grain, and could result in a backlash—Hanukkah represents those who are willing, if and when necessary, to risk the wrath of others to insure the triumph of good over evil, of light over darkness, and right over wrong.

In this particular case, the light of what's good and right was the brilliant example of those faithful few Jews who held their head high—sick and tired of being beaten down—and publicly chose to reject alien ideas and destroy imposed idols.

The Maccabees weren't overly concerned with a suicidal fear of world opinion or bribed to act indifferent, but mightily expressed their faith in GOD. They didn't flirt with "foreign affairs" or engage in self-destructive interfaith orgies. They kept the faith and cleansed the Temple Mount of its spiritual filth.

Many Jews continue to celebrate Hanukkah—but they're hypocrites! More Jews act like the COWERING HELLENISTS who surrendered without a fight, or thought liberalism was right—lap-dogs of the Left—than the courageous Maccabees who fought to remain true to God and themselves!

Thank Heavens, there are a growing number in Israel who want to see Jerusalem restored as God’s spiritual center, and our lives rededicated to biblical ideals, shunning humanist ideas. Pray for Jerusalem's peace and the rekindling of Israel’s light!

King David's Aliyah

King David designated the Temple Mount as the site Solomon was to build God’s Temple. "David said, 'Here will be the House of the LORD and here the altar of burnt offerings for Israel'" (1 Chron. 22:1, JPS). Earlier he had taken a military census—against strong opposition—which implied he was trusting in Israel’s might instead of God's strength. Consequently, God plagued the land and slashed Israel's numbers. People were falling like flies and getting wiped out by disease.

Then God ordered the angel to change course and zero in on Jerusalem. But when God heard David’s prayers and saw the humility of Israel’s elders, He called off the siege. God’s angel told the prophet Gad that David was to GO UP TO MOUNT MORIAH AND SET UP AN ALTAR TO GOD.

David made aliyah: he ascended God's holy mountain and encountered the righteous Gentiles who were then in charge. They agreed to renounce their claims and sell their land, recognizing it was God's Will for David to transform their threshing floor into the sacred site where God would judge the nations and sift all men's hearts.

Divine Fire and Forgiveness

David paid for his mistake and sacrificed for his sin: God responded by sending fire down from Heaven to receive David's offering and accept his person (1 Chron. 21). THE PLAGUE WAS STOPPED! David had delivered Jerusalem from Gentile occupation (2 Sam. 5:7). That redemption prepared the way for David's sacrifice and prophecy that Mount Moriah would house the altar and Temple of God. He personally ordered a temporary shelter created, and saw to it that the Ark was joyfully transferred to it in Jerusalem with great celebrations (1 Chron. 15).

Afterwards, David felt a Temple would be more appropriate for God's Ark (especially since he lived in better quarters himself), but was informed it wasn't in God's plans for him, although he was commended—not criticized—for his noble desire. Because of David's initiative, God promised to build him a ROYAL HOUSE— a Davidic dynasty that's to last forever! David's responsibility was to
settle Israel's differences with their enemies and pave the way for Solomon.

Temple Plans

King David paved the way for Solomon to build the Temple in peace, without distractions (1 Chron.21,22). David had gladly garnered great wealth, materials and manpower in preparation for the Temple with great anticipation. (That’s the least we can do today: PREPARE FOR THE TEMPLE! That way we'll be ready for it when we're offered the opportunity to BEGIN CONSTRUCTION). Although Solomon was honored to build God's Temple, DAVID was given the precise details for it, by inspiration, like Moses was shown the Tabernacle’s blueprint (1 Kgs. 5:2-5, 1 Chron. 28:19).

Solomon began to fulfill what Melchizedek foreshadowed: the prophetic merging of PRIEST and KING into ONE—ruling from Jerusalem. Significantly, Batsheva (Solomon’s mother) was from Levi, the priestly tribe, and David was from Judah, the scepter tribe. King David addressed the nation and consolidated Solomon’s
position, showing how God had purposely chosen Solomon to build His Temple (1 Chron. 28, 29). (Whether or not the United States will do the right thing and recognize Jerusalem as the God-given capital of Israel, and move the American embassy there like Presidents Clinton and Bush have both promised, the greatest embassy we should concern ourselves with is the Heavenly one: the Third Temple).

The golden years Israel experienced under Solomon was representative of the future Messiah’s universal reign of peace and prosperity (1 Kgs. 4:20, 25). Solomon secured the promise of a Davidic dynasty—a continuous covenant that's to culminate in Messiah. The Messiah has a double claim to that throne: it’s the
Throne of the LORD (1 Chron. 29:23) and the property of David's descendants (Jer. 33:17).

Jacob’s Pillar Stone

The famous "Stone of Scone," the "Stone of Destiny," that is Jacob's Pillar Stone (formerly enshrined in the Coronation Chair at Westminster Abbey), serves as a physical link and deed proving King David's inheritance among British Israel. (By a prophet was the Stone removed from Jerusalem, and by a prophet shall it be returned to await Him whose right it is).

Presently the Stone is in Scotland—in transit. The British have thereby dismantled their monarchy and undermined their national security. They sent the Stone to Scotland, so God will send them into captivity! The Royal Family made the wrong move by supporting such an act of treason. They’ve been disloyal and will soon be disrobed! God protected the Sceptered Isle out of respect for Jacob's Stone and David's Throne (1 Kgs. 11:36).

We can rest assured that God will spare a few members of the Royal Family from the German-Jesuit Beast to keep His promise alive to David (2 Chron. 21:7). Will God convince them to deliver Princess Diana's two sons to His representative for safekeeping? (Deut. 22:6-7 Jer. 49:11). They would be kept together with God's Royal Family in exile to weather the nuclear storm (Isa. 16:3-4). GOD WILL GUARD HIS OWN HOUSE (Zech.9:8; Ps. 91). It appears the Prophet Jeremiah was simply a type of one assigned to deliver David’s descendants safe and sound to a providential place (Jer. 43:6).

Will the Sabbath-keeping Church of God be entrusted with their care, "the heir and the spare," the scions of King David Prince William and Prince Harry (2 Chron. 23:7)? God’s Work revolves around a Stone (Zech. 4:7). The Two Witnesses (two prophets in the spirit of Elijah) will safeguard Jacob's Stone and herald the coming of Israel’s King to reign upon it. We must make a public call for the stone's restoration to Jerusalem! The Stone—as a Jewish treasure and historic relic—must be properly returned to Israel. The Stone's restoration to Judah is part of the restoration of David’s House to Jerusalem—paving the way for Messiah's coming (Amos 9:11).

Joseph (the Anglo-Saxons) has been ordained the Keeper of the Stone, the Custodian of Israel’s Rock, until THE TIME HAS COME for it to be established in Jerusalem forever (Gen. 49:24). Joseph (Joes) and Judah (Jews) must unite to remind all Twelve Tribes of Israel of our biblical roots and responsibility—and it all centers on the Throne with the Stone! (Ezek. 37:22).

Solomon built the Temple following David's divine design, enacted King David’s decrees concerning the proper establishment of the priesthood, and executed judgments upon various individuals (1 Chron. 28:13). Both Solomon's dedication prayer and sacrifice were accepted by the God of Heaven, who answered him by sending fire to earth and filling the Temple with His glory (2 Chron. 7:1).

The Royal House of David

God established David's family in Jerusalem, and David's house constructed God’s Temple. Later a descendant of David, assisted by a priest, would rebuild God’s Temple (Ezra 3:8). Throughout history, David's faithful descendants would repeatedly "build up" God's House. How? By their proper care and concern, they
empowered and encouraged Levi to fulfill their sacred responsibilities. This reciprocal relationship is soon to be restored (Jer. 33:22).

The Royal House of David is Jerusalem’s ETERNAL FLAME (Lev. 24:4). Jerusalem is Israel's. God is Israel's Eternal Flame and Israel is God's (1 Kgs. 11:36). David's House is destined to soon play an important part on the world stage. A DAVIDIC MESSENGER WILL DEFEND JERUSALEM and God's truth, lighting the Way
and illuminating our Path (Zech. 12:8).

Unfortunately, Solomon fell for foreign women who took advantage of his weakness: they led him astray to erect temples to their lies. As a direct result of Solomon’s adulterous idolatry, God decreed that Israel’s United Kingdom would be split in two (1 Kgs.11:1-13). It’s important to note that all Jews are Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jews! There is a difference! (Thankfully, Yair
Davidiy—founder of Brit-Am Israel— is educating Jews about the Israelite origins of the West).

The consequential two kingdoms of Judah and Israel aren't to be fully restored until Messiah—then we'll truly be reunited as "One Nation under God" and become a "Light to all nations" (Ezek. 37:22). Divided, we became conquered and got carried off into no- man’s land— most never to return or remember their roots. But now our mourning period’s almost over! Our EXILE is about to end! However, there’s already a growing awareness and cooperation, in the spirit of these prophecies, between various Christian-Zionists and Jews.

After Judah’s return from Babylon, they rebuilt God’s Temple under Zerubbabel’s guidance. But before the Temple’s foundation was laid, they rebuilt God’s ALTAR. They offered sacrifices because they were afraid! (Ezra 3:3, 6) They weren't too proud to ask God for protection.

Chief Rabbinate is Negligent!

Today, the Jews are also AFRAID! But instead of looking to God and taking appropriate action, Israel’s fear has paralyzed them! Weak and bribed politicians figure it’s better to let the Muslims disrespect the Temple Mount and flout Israeli sovereignty than to face "another war." They would do well to remember that every war the Arabs have started, Israel's God has finished! By being afraid of Muslim threats, rather than taking them serious enough to REMOVE THE THREAT— the Israeli authorities have become accomplices to Gentile occupation, reward terrorism and encourage further aggression against Jews!

Israel illegally denies Christians and Jews their religious rights upon the Temple Mount, when they shamefully look the other way as Nazi-Muslims trample such rights into the holy ground—forbidding Christian or Jewish worship upon the Temple Mount!

It appears the Chief Rabbinate would also rather let foxes run loose on the Temple Mount than permit the Children of Israel their democratic "freedom of access." By woefully neglecting the Temple Mount, they've lost control to the Wakf (Muslim authorities) by default! And if they're truly concerned about ritual purity (Numbers 19), and don’t just use that as an excuse for inaction, they should know that the Second Temple was up and running—with its sacrificial system—for twenty-two years WITHOUT THE ASHES OF THE RED HEIFER! Besides, don’t they know that there are "PERMITTED PLACES" on the Temple Mount to worship?

Israel’s political and religious leaders have REJECTED THE CORNERSTONE for the Third Temple! (Ps. 118:22). They're not willing to do whatever is necessary to end Jerusalem’s “abomination of desolation”—a Temple Mount without a Temple. They're unwilling to RECLAIM JUDAISM’S MOST HOLY SITE! Such leaders—foolishly content to passively wait for the Messiah and do nothing to help themselves—are not the sons and daughters of the Maccabees! Their prophesied repentance cannot come too soon! (Zech. 13:1).

Meanwhile, all Jerusalem will suffer German-Jesuit occupation because of their sins! Europe is quickly being remodeled after the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation," and their Merovingian king awaits his coronation in the Holy City! God will let Europe occupy Jerusalem —but they've crossed the line when they pollute God’s Temple! (Rev. 11:1-2, Mark 13:14, 2 Thes. 2:4).

Major Upheaval in Israel?

Will an EARTHQUAKE shake Israel to its foundations and rock the world? Would the destruction of the Western/Wailing Wall and the demolition of the "Dome of the Rock" and Al-Aksa mosques—by an ACT OF GOD—serve further notice that it’s TIME TO BUILD THE TEMPLE? The Western Wall will have served its purpose and an earthquake could clear the way for major changes. Let’s MOVE ON UP to where we should be praying: in the TEMPLE upon the Temple Mount!

I believe a miracle—a supernatural disaster (a blessing in disguise)—will take care of the Muslim symbols of occupation. I’m NOT calling for any individual to blow up the mosques! However, if the Israeli government finally gets its act together and decides to exercise Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount, I'd gladly encourage them to restore Judaism’s holiest site to the Jews.

Despite this public record, I've been unjustly DEPORTED FROM ISRAEL (as reported on the front page of The Jerusalem Post, January 8, 1996) for alleged involvement in a plot to "damage the mosques!" Before my deportation I was held in Jerusalem’s corrupt Russian Compound for three weeks as a POLITICO-RELIGIOUS PRISONER! I’m still fighting this injustice and, with God’s help, expect to return and receive Israeli citizenship.

Barry Chamish, in his book,Traitors and Carpetbaggers in the Promised Land, attributes my deportation to an article published in The Traveller magazine in Jerusalem, where I expose a Vatican-German plot to take over the Temple Mount in the Old City.

The Temple is to serve as a NATIONAL REMINDER that God’s central to our existence and should be our focal point. It’s understood that the mere presence of a Temple doesn’t necessarily mean that God's Presence is with us. Twice God’s glory left the Temple and Judah was scattered. To avoid making the same mistake again, we must insure God finds a stable home in our loving hearts and minds—not only welcomed in, but invited to stay (Jer. 31:33).

Will the sacrifices start soon? The Cornerstone get put in place and the Temple rebuilt? And will Europe's new ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES force his way into the Temple and proclaim himself "God"? Supposedly the pope wants Jerusalem to become an "international city"—in reality he plans on making it his cultic
headquarters! Who would stand up and oppose this intrusion? Who would denounce this gross violation of Israel’s sovereignty? Who would speak out against this folly? "Elijah…"

Living in Israel

You could say I have a God-given love for the Jews and the nation of Israel (Isa. 62:6-7). I've been blessed to have lived in over seven regions of Israel, getting to know its land and people quite well: Ramat Yohanan (where my "kibbutz mother" and Holocaust survivor, Miriam Weiss lived—sadly, she’s died since my deportation); Sdot Yam on the Mediterranean Sea, next to Caesarea, the site of my first ulpan, and where Israel’s heroine, Hannah Senesh, was from; Regavim, near Zichron Yaakov, where I continued my Hebrew lessons amid its rolling green hills; Reshafim, near Bet She’an, with Mt. Gilboa practically in our backyard, and Jordan's mountains in lovely view out front; Adamit, on Lebanon’s border, high up on a mountain, from where on clear days you can see all the way to Haifa's Mt. Carmel; Shoval, a rose in the Negev desert, just north of Beer Sheva; Dan, way up in the northernmost part of Israel, in between Syria and Lebanon, next to the majestic snow-covered Mt. Hermon, where I was living when "Operation Desert Storm" blew in; and Ha'On, with its campground and ostrich farm on the eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee, across from Tiberias.

I've also lived in East and West Jerusalem. Since I've fulfilled my goals of living around Israel, I hope and pray to live in Shiloach (the biblical City of David), in Jerusalem, until the Messiah comes—and forever after! I want to live as close as possible to my favorite spot on earth: the Temple Mount.

True Freedom

Why didn't the Jews accept Jesus? He didn't live up to their expectations. Why? He disappointed them! The Jews were looking for a NATIONAL DELIVERER—not a spiritual savior! They wanted Messiah to overthrow Rome, not subdue sin! They were hoping He would end the Gentile occupation of their land, not defeat Satan's purpose in their lives.

Judaism is filled with references to our Savior-King: the Messiah who will conquer our enemies and restore our independence, ushering in the glory days of old. The Jews in Jesus’ day didn't want to hear that Jews are their own worst enemy! They didn't appreciate being called slaves to sin or accept Yeshua as the only Master Key to freedom.

Jesus began preaching in the synagogues around the Sea of Galilee, slowly but surely working His way down towards Jerusalem. Yeshua (Jesus) didn't begin His Mission until He was thirty: the coming of age for a rabbi. He was preceded by His cousin Yohanan (John), a cohen (priest). The whole region was eager to
hear His Message: God’s Kingdom is coming quickly! Jesus’ report was circulated everywhere. Everyone who knew and understood the Messiah was due—according to the time setting of Daniel’s prophecies—had been anticipating this GOOD NEWS!

Roman Rule before Messiah

I remember wondering once, during a bus trip from Jerusalem back to Ramat Yohanan (near Haifa), why Messiah came when He did. Why not 3,000 years ago? Why not 500 years ago? Then Daniel’s prophecy flashed into my mind: there were to be four Gentile kingdoms, and then God’s Kingdom would come! Messiah
couldn’t come until the fourth beast—the Roman Empire—was a reality. Jesus then showed up, right on time, and foretold its ruin!

The Passover LAMB of God, Israel’s Suffering Servant, came to be offered up and take away the sins of the world (Isa. 53). Yeshua died on the stake at the same time the Jews were sacrificing their lambs, near the end of Aviv 14, saying, "It is finished." Yet He was prophesied to be RESURRECTED—as our High Priest—and intercede for many. How else could He see the positive results of His sacrifice? (Isa. 53:10-12).

Rome signed their own death warrant when they murdered God's Son. Many of those Jews who witnessed Jesus' mock trial and crucifixion, crying out, 'His blood be upon us,' when Pilate wavered, assuming blood-guilt, later cried out for the Lamb's blood to cover their sins (Acts 3:14-19). The bloodguilt of that evil generation was paid for (in part) when the Romans sacked Jerusalem, as Jesus
foretold. Today's Jewish leaders will soon beg God to forgive them for blindly rejecting God's Son and Judah's Firstborn and save them from Catholic Europe! (Zech. 12:10).

A Transcendent Kingdom

Jesus' Message went over the heads of most that heard Him. The Kingdom He proclaimed wasn't limited to a specific location. His Truth transcends national borders and rises above barriers of race. Most couldn’t grasp what He was saying!

Jesus not only announced Israel's restoration—but their TRANSFORMATION! He promises to usher in a GLORY that’s greater than Solomon's Temple! (Hag. 2:9). The House of Israel must become the TEMPLE of God! Jesus—a son of David—is making preparations for this IMMORTAL NATION!

Jesus' good news far surpassed anything the Jews had hoped for. It seemed too good to be true! His Teaching amazed them: God's Kingdom is God's Royal Family! THEY administer God's Government! We’re not guaranteed membership by race—by God's grace, anyone who's righteous is welcome. While Israel's Kingdom consisted of Israel's family— those flesh and blood descendants of Jacob—the Kingdom of God will be the Spirit-composed Children of God!

Jesus made it clear: we've got to be born again! But traditional Christianity can't stand the BRIGHT FUTURE Christ has described! They've veiled its true meaning, toned down its truth and robbed it of its honor! Jesus wasn't referring to a spiritual experience, but an actual occurrence: our RESURRECTION AND TRANSFORMATION FROM HUMAN TO DIVINE! This new development is what dumbfounded the religious leaders. They'd never heard such a thing and read right over it!

The Anointed One elaborated: if your parents are flesh and blood humans, it's only natural that you're also human. You're nothing more or less. Kind after kind. If you're born again by a Spirit-composed God, it's only supernatural that you'll become a Spirit-composed God! GOD IS REPRODUCING HIMSELF! The Kingdom of God is the governing family of God!

Messiah to Crush One World Government

The Jews—unlike too many Christians—were well aware that Daniel prophesied of GOVERNMENTS. They understood four Gentile kingdoms were to make their mark on mankind. They would follow one another in general succession: Babylon, the Medes & Persians, the Greco-Macedonian, and the Roman Empire. Daniel's prophecy warns of Rome’s final revival. It will threaten Jacob's descendants, and persecute the holy ones of Israel, until MESSIAH crushes their opposition! (Dan. 2:44). This configuration of European States, wrapped around ten kings (under Europe's emperor), will wreak such havoc that God has to send the archangel
Michael to stand up for Israel! (Dan. 12:1-2). It's going to be the worst time in history! And it's dated as just prior to Messiah's coming and the resurrection of the dead (Dan. 12:1-2). He'll be our only Hope for survival! We'll witness these events! Daniel's message was impossible to understand until now. We're living in the prophesied days of rapid transit, instant communication, and a knowledge explosion! (Dan. 12:4).

Europe's actually going to fight Messiah at His Coming! But His invincible army originates in Heaven. He's flying direct from the Father's Throne! We can expect Him to land upon the Mount of Olives, and lauded as Israel's Anointed, liberate Zion and Jerusalem—securing David's throne!

The Coronation of Israel’s King

Daniel testifies: "One like a human being came with the clouds of Heaven He reached the Ancient of Days and was presented to Him. Dominion, glory and kingship were given to him; All peoples of every nation and language must serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship one that shall not be destroyed" (Dan. 7:13-14 JPS).

Who but Jesus ascended into Heaven with clouds? He was like a man—but more than a human being! His coronation ceremony is about to commence! Then He'll return to earth and rule all nations! Unlike the Gentile powers, MESSIAH and His KINGDOM are ETERNAL!

Zechariah gets even more specific: he says it's the LORD who will fight against our enemies and touch down on the Mount of Olives. "And the LORD shall be King over all the earth…"(Zech.14:9 JPS). Truly, Israel's Messiah is "GOD WITH US" (Isa. 7:14). He'll vanquish our foes and disperse our enemies: "The LORD has annulled the judgment against you, He has swept away your foes [like chaff from the Temple Mount]. Israel's Sovereign the LORD is within you; You need fear misfortune no more" (Zeph. 3:15 JPS).

Rest for Wandering Jews

The wandering Jews will finally find rest. Our trials and tribulations will be a thing of the past! Israel and Judah will be forgiven their sins. At that time Judah will perceive that YESHUA IS MASHIACH! Jesus is the Christ: "And I will pour on the House of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
supplications: then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn" (Zech. 12:10).

Shema Yisrael—Hear O Israel: Moses prophesied that God would send us a Messenger (Deut. 18:18). Jesus is God’s Lion and Lamb: He came to deliver us from sin and will return to set us free from men! Messiah is our Priest-King, our Lord and Savior, our One and only! He'll save us from Europe and ourselves! "Surely in the LORD I have righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come,
and all shall be ashamed who are incensed against Him. In the LORD all the descendants of Israel shall be justified, and shall glory" (Isa. 54:24-25).

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity
It is like the precious oil upon the head running down upon the beard;
The beard of Aaron,
That comes down upon the collar of his garments;
Like the dew of Hermon
Descending upon the mountains of Zion
For there the Lord commanded the blessing
Even for life forever.

The Plain Truth About the "Lost Ten Tribes" and Why You Need to Know!

The Plain Truth About the "Lost Ten Tribes" and Why You Need to Know!

The United Kingdom of Israel split in two during the reign of Solomon's son, Rehoboam. The Northern Kingdom of Israel was composed of 10 tribes, headed by the tribe of Joseph, in their new capital called Samaria. The Southern Kingdom of Judah continued to rule from Jerusalem, with the Royal House of David presiding over them. Both sinned against the God of Israel and were patiently warned by the prophets, but Northern Israel fell first and was deported by the Assyrians approximately 130 years before Judah was conquered by the Babylonians and the Temple destroyed (2 Kgs. 17).

After 70 years, a small number of Jews returned and restored Jerusalem and built the Temple. The Jews had been deported to Babylon and were from the Southern Kingdom of Judah. The Northern Israelites had been taken captive earlier to other areas (2 Kgs. 17:6) and have never returned.

If you check the records of those who returned from the Babylonian exile it becomes clear that basically it was only those from the Southern tribes of Benjamin, Levi and Judah. There are a few exceptions to this rule, certain individuals from Ephraim and Manasseh and undoubtedly some of the other tribes who joined with Judah (1 Chronicles 9:3). Some carelessly assume that just because those who returned are all sometimes referred to as sons or children of Israel that it means they were from the Northern Kingdom of Israel. However, Jacob-Israel had twelve sons who were the patriarchs of the twelve tribes. Every Jew is an Israelite, an ethnic descendant of Jacob-Israel, but not every Israelite is a Jew! The Northern Kingdom of Israel, as a whole, remain in exile as the "Lost Ten Tribes."

It is historically and biblically important to make this distinction between Jews and Israelites and to be careful not to blur their identities (Ezek. 44:23). After all, God has devoted four books of the Bible to do just that!

But did God intend for Northern Israel to remain lost? Since we acted like pagan Gentiles God let us lose our spiritual minds and think we're Gentiles, but was the punishment for our religious sins supposed to last forever? Didn't God promise that He would preserve Israel's unique identity even though they were scattered throughout and among many nations? Clearly God has never lost sight of who the "Lost Tribes" really are and where they're located today: "For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the House of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth" (Amos 9:9).

If God's aware of a sparrow's condition, certainly He's more concerned with collective Israel's affairs, especially since we're beloved for the fathers' (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) sakes. Yet we see grief-stricken Israel feeling helpless and hopeless, dead to history, cut off from their roots, having given up any hope of being restored to national life, being reassured by God Almighty that He will restore their physical identity!

Once God begins the healing process, the life-giving spirit of reconciliation between Judah and Israel will result in our restoration as a United Kingdom, One Nation under God! God will restore us to our ancient homeland and revive the Davidic monarchy to rule with but under Messiah. God's Sanctuary will again be found in Jerusalem, and shine as a sign to the whole world, since He'll return home with the exiles (Ezek. 36).

Israel was only to remain lost until just before Messiah comes. That's when we would begin to fulfill our tribal destinies as prophesied by Jacob and Moses (Gen. 49; Deut. 33). The sons of Joseph, the Anglo-Saxons, have fulfilled the prophecies like no other "claimants" to Israel's inheritance can: Manasseh has become the single great nation of the United States, and his brother Ephraim has become the British Commonwealth of Nations (Gen. 48:19), as clearly brought out in The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy, influenced by Herbert W. Armstrong, one of the greatest proponents of this biblical truth.

After our prophesied 2520 years of exile, Israel began to grow and multiply and be blessed around 1800-1803. A Jewish Homeland reveals how our Jewish brethren also came into their own after the time of their punishment came to a close, and boldly declared their statehood in 1948, holding the Promised Land in trust for all Twelve Tribes (Rom. 3:2).

Joseph and Judah are the top two leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel. It was around the ordained time that God began to bestow Joseph's Birthright that He began to restore Israel's identity among both the Anglo-Saxons and Jews (I Chron. 5:2). Some have embraced this wonderful truth and consequently have drawn closer to each other as brethren, but others have foolishly allowed Satan to create enmity and alienate us. Soon such "sibling rivalry" will be a thing of the past (Isa. 11:13).

Some rabbis/ministers have stubbornly refused to search for the "Lost Ten Tribes" and have left them to wander in their pagan Gentile ways and days! GOD HOLDS MINISTERS RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT HELPING TO RESTORE ISRAEL'S ROOTS AND RESPONSIBILITY! (Ezek. 34:4). He'll personally cut them off from the pulpit and strip them of their duties! They've proven themselves unworthy of shepherding God's people Israel and have forfeited their future as leaders.(Ezek. 34:10; Matt. 12:30). Nevertheless, God has raised up others to accomplish this urgent "search and rescue" mission (Ezek. 34:16).

Surely God wouldn't leave His Church in the dark about Israel's identity, especially since the Gospel should go first to Israelites and then to Gentiles. And the Gospel is ONE BIG PROPHECY! .

Thankfully, there are a growing number of groups and organizations, books and articles, both Christian and Jewish, that are assisting this GREAT WORK OF ISRAELITE IDENTIFICATION. They are helping to proclaim: "I am Joseph your brother" (Gen. 45:4). The Jerusalem-based Brit-Am Israel organization (founded by the Israeli Orthodox Jew Yair Davidiy) is a pioneer among our Jewish brethren.

God reveals our Israelite identity and expects us to help restore our brethren to their biblical senses (Isa. 42:22; 51:1-2). Those ministers who fail to respond to God's call to search and rescue Israel have robbed them of a right relationship with God and our forefathers, substituting pagan hollow days for God's holy days (Isa. 63:16; Hos. 5:7; Malachi 4:4-6). They've stubbornly put their idolatrous traditions above God's commands, preferring doctrinal darkness and captivity over Messiah's spiritual light and freedom.

Nevertheless, a number have been called from the womb to help restore Israel's identity and religion (Isa. 49:5-6), blasting Babylon and clearing away the stumbling blocks of religious confusion (Isa. 57:14; 58:1, 12). Even if our people as a whole reject the plain truth for popular error (2 Chron. 30:5-11), a precious few will always respond to God's call to forsake Babylon (traditional Christianity/Jewish myths) and return to our biblical roots and responsibility (I Kgs. 18:21, 36-37; Rev. 18:4).

It's vital to know who Israel is so they can return to the biblical faith once delivered. Why? To enable them to be spared from "the Time of Jacob's Trouble," the "Great Tribulation" that is prophesied to fall especially hard upon our heads. God expects us to work together to remember our Hebrew roots and responsibility, and to lead and direct our Israelite nations in the right direction (Jer. 31:21).

In order to warn Israel about the many prophecies that preview our coming captivity (due to our idolatry and immorality), it was first necessary for God to restore our identity. God has now restored our identity, He's again warning our nations, and it's up to us what will happen next.

May we take God's Word to heart, return to the God of our fathers, and have hope: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chron. 7:14).

Celtic-Israelite Commonalities

CELTIC-ISRAELITE COMMONALITIES

To those interested in the history of the Celtic Peoples and their modern descendants in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and Cornwall and their descendants around the world, a subject often raised is possible connections with ancient Israelites, in particular the Lost Tribes of Israel.

The purpose of this article is not to confirm Celtic connections with the Lost Tribes of Israel, but to discuss some of the many common characteristics of modern Celtic Peoples and ancient Israelites. These characteristics I call "commonalities". I am not attempting in this short essay to establish connections which have been addressed in many other volumes. I will point out and discuss a few of the commonalities between these Peoples.

Lost Tribes of the House of Israel

The Peoples we refer to as the Lost Tribes were part of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, conquered by the Assyrians around 740-720 B.C.E. and exiled to areas in Assyria and to the north. This story is told in the Bible in the Second Book of Kings, Chapters 17 and 18. About the same time a contingent from the Kingdom of Judah was also exiled to northern lands. It is these Peoples and their immediate descendants who are also variously referred to as the Lost Tribes, and the subject of many works and studies.

Being both Irish and Jewish, I grew up familiar with customs and cultures of both Peoples, Irish and Jews, only in later years becoming aware that they had quite different cultures and greatly varying cultural characteristics. Yet growing up with both cultures, I had noticed similarities even on a casual basis. Over the years I began to notice more and more similarities and in recent years I began to collect this data into what I term an Overview which I am still assembling. It is this Overview in differing areas of life that I will discuss here.

There are a number of areas that I have been looking at which include: Language, agriculture, religion and taboos, burial practices, music and folk dancing, the traditions and self determinations and self-identification of the Celts and other areas as they arise. I will point out a few items in each category and note that these are just a few of a great many commonalities. I mention them as examples.

Language is one of the subjects that led to my overall interest in the topic as early on I noticed similarities. Considering the long period of time from the expulsion of the Israelites until today, it would seem likely that there should be little, if any, common letters, words or structures. This is not the case. There is much in common.

Gaelic is a member of the Celtic group of the Indo-European family of languages that includes Russian, English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi and Italian. The Celtic group has been confined to the British Isles, part of the French coast and a tiny enclave in Spain.

Linguistic Similarities

The Celtic language group is divided into two divisions which has three languages in each division. Each division makes up its own unique language. The two branches are:

The BRYTHONIC branch which is made up of the Welsh, Breton and Cornish languages.

The GOIDELIC branch with the Irish, Scots and Manx Gaelic languages.

The Breton and Cornish languages are seeing some resurgence after near extinction. The Irish, Scots and Welsh languages are holding their own at this time. Manx is an ancient form of Irish and is considered to be the oldest and purest Irish Gaelic in existence.

Manx is very close to the extinct dialects of nearby Ulster and Galloway. It separated from Old Irish around the Fifth Century B.C.E. Manx occupies much the same relation to Old Irish as Icelandic does to Old Norse. For the purpose of my study I have chosen to concentrate on Manx and Scots Gaelic. I am sure though that an in-depth study of Welsh or other Gaelic languages would provide much food for thought on this issue.

The Gaelic alphabet as well as the ordinal numbers show more commonality with Hebrew than might be expected after 2,700 years of divergence. For example, we have a Hebrew "s" retained in the modern Gaelic. The Hebrew Sheen, pronounced "Sh" is found in the Irish "s" as in the name Sean, pronounced Shawn. Other letters are also similar. The ordinal numbers 6 & 7 are pronounced almost the same in Hebrew and Gaelic.

Words with same or similar meanings abound. For example, the Hebrew word for "holy" in common usage according to Halacha (Jewish law) is Kasher. The word in Manx Gaelic for "hallowed" or "holy" is Casherick. The syntax of Gaelic is entirely different from any other European language, especially English. R.L. Thompson, in his work "Outline of Manx Literature and Language" says that "in several respects Gaelic syntax has similarities with that of languages like Hebrew and Arabic".

As in Hebrew, adjectives follow the noun that they describe. For example, "ben vie" = "a good woman in Gaelic. "Rosh ketan" = "small head" or "stupid" in Hebrew. ("Vie" or "ketan" being the adjectives). Word order is also similar in Hebrew in that the verb usually comes first in the sentence, unlike English or many other European languages. These are just a very few of the many commonalities that I believe suggest a definite connection between the two languages and their family streams. This alone should be a subject for a major comparative study.

Commonalities in Ethnic Customs

One of the first areas in which I noticed similarities was in customs, notably folk dancing; and, later, musical instruments. The Hebrew Hora and other old traditional dances are paralleled in many Gaelic folk dances, especially the wedding dance of the Gaels which is very similar to the traditional Ashkenazi wedding dances of Europe.

Musical instruments of the Gaels are found in the Israelite tradition, notably the harp in both Celtic tales and certainly Hebrew tradition as the favoured instrument of the psalmist David (please see the article "The Harp of David and the Harp of Ireland" by John Wheeler in the August-October, 2006 issue of "Origins of Nations").

One of the most intriguing discoveries was that the Irish and Scots pipes with which we are all familiar have their origins in the desert flute played daily throughout the Middle East. The flute of desert shepherds is identifiable in the "chanter" of the Irish and Scots pipes.

Amazing Religious Parallels

The ancient religion of the Celtic Peoples prior to Christianity was generally believed to be Druidism, of which little is known. That which we do know indicates many similarities to Canaanite religions that the Northern Israelite Tribes turned to after they separated from the Kingdom of David and Solomon after Solomon's death. Like the pagans of Canaan, the sacred places of the Northern Israelite Tribes became high hilltops and sacred groves, notably oaks.

Archeology shows many similarities between Northern Israelite Kingdom ritual sites and Druidic sites in the Isles. Additionally, the burial practices of both the Peoples of the Northern Israelite Kingdom and the Celts show much similarity in the presence of Dolmens -- large slabs of stone placed horizontally across upright stones with the graves under them. These are found in areas of Europe through which Celtic Peoples passed and are found also in areas of present day Jordan and Israel where Northern Israelite Tribes dwelt.

After the Roman invasion of the Isles, white cattle were introduced and later used. Until that time red was the preferred color. One of the most famous wars in Irish history was over a Red Bull stolen by a northern Irish tribe. Swine were not raised in early Celtic areas until after they were introduced by the Romans. The Celts had a taboo against eating swine and also against eating scaleless fish such as eels and shellfish. Celts, like the Israelites, were excellent herdsmen and developed identifiable breeds of sheep, cattle and horses, which carried on Israelite traditions.

Other Proofs

Perhaps one of the most telling commonalities is simply the self-identification as Israelites of Hibernians -- name of the Irish, Scots and Hebrides Islands off the coast of Scotland. Milesians, one of the early Celtic Peoples to come to Ireland from Spain, had a tradition that they were of the Lost Tribes of Israel. The name "Heber", "Eber", or "H'berian" is found throughout early literature to describe the Celts as they described themselves to be "Of Eber", grandfather of Abraham.

What I have presented here in greatly abbreviated form just skims the surface of the commonalities between the Celts and Israelites. There is a tremendous amount of information available for those who would like to learn more. A few resources are listed below. This is one of those subjects about which at first one may say "Oh, that is an interesting coincidence".

The sheer mass of such "coincidences" that accumulate after one studies the subject should raise eyebrows. The fact that so much of the languages are similar almost three thousand years later, that customs are clearly identifiable as being related, that religious practices are uniquely similar and that the everyday agricultural practices and crops were similar all along, together with many other commonalities, suggest possible common origin.

For those interested in studying this subject further I wish you well and much enjoyment.
