Gay rights, YES; Jewish rights, NO! [A Voice from Hebron]
By Gary Cooperberg
The alleged “high court of Justice” in Israel has demonstrated clearly that it neither enforces justice, nor does it possess genuine esteem for either democratic nor Jewish values. Few people know that Israeli Law permits Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. They are prevented from doing so only by an “escape clause” which states that should the police determine that as a result of Jewish prayer the Arabs are likely to riot, and thus create a situation of danger, the police have the right to prevent Jews from praying there. The police neither wish to expose worshipers to danger, nor are they willing to invest the force necessary to protect them while exercising their legal rights, so they simply deny them those rights. The Arabs have taken note of this “escape clause” and are only too happy to provide the riots which enable Jewish police to deny Jews the right to pray on their holiest site. As such it has become an axiomatic fact that Jews are not permitted to pray there!
This same “high court of Justice”, in total disregard to the sensitivities of Jews, issued a permit for homosexuals to parade their brand of lifestyle in the streets of Jerusalem. After all the legal protests fell on deaf ears, a large number of hereidi Jews decided to take a lesson from the court’s reaction to Arab “demonstrations”. Clearly if the court permits Arab rioters to prevent Jews from exercising their legal right to pray; it would seem logical to assume that it would (democratically) follow that it would permit Jewish rioters to prevent queers from exercising their legal right to parade their brand of immorality in the streets of Jerusalem.
Strangely enough this logical conclusion did not apply. The same court which would not suffer the police to muster the troops needed to protect Jews from Arab rioters, had no trouble mandating the police to use whatever forces they needed to enable the gays to parade their immorality in the streets of the holy city.
Perhaps there is a brilliant lawyer somewhere in Israel who can at least use this obvious dual standard to demand that the police permit Jews the right to exercise their legal right to pray on the Temple Mount. It really wouldn’t take a genius to present the case, nor would it take a judge with the wisdom of Solomon to determine what to do. All it would take is a court which possesses honesty, courage and a genuine sense of justice. Thus there is little hope for a change under the present system.

Will God Curse our Countries for Christmas?
"You don't celebrate Christmas?" Well, not any more.
1 Peter 4:3-5
For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
I realize that those who are still drunk on the wine of the Babylonian Mystery religion (incorporated into the Roman Catholic Cult as brought out in The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop) don't appreciate or comprehend those who are now SOBER and happy to be free from idolatrous traditions for the plain truth of the Bible and history.
The Sabbath-keeping Church of God rejoices in the knowledge and glorious plan of salvation for all mankind that the biblical festivals, the holy days that our Great Creator God has ordained portray - no longer falling for the hollow days of pagan Rome, pimped by Roman wolves in sheep's clothing, false father figures.
The Sabbath-keeping Church of God celebrate that soon everybody will join us in celebrating God's holy days, the "Jewish holidays" in spirit and in truth, and will trash their former tinsel traditions. We are pioneers of the Wonderful World Tomorrow!
Jeremiah 16:19
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things."
It is sad when folks continue to fall for all the RELIGIOUS BULL Rome has dumped on the world and pretend they're worshipping Christ who hates such PAGAN ABOMINATIONS. Why remain in denial?
God is truth and despises such religious lies as Christmas and Easter. They're PAGAN to the core and God's People avoid them like the plague, happy with the biblical festivals God has given us to celebrate.
Yeshua, the King of the Jews, the King of Israel, will return and reign supreme from Jerusalem and teach the Torah, slaughtering the papal bull by the sword of the truth:
Isaiah 2:2-3
2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the [Temple] mountain of the LORD’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many people shall come and say,
“ Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem [not Rome].
Yeshua will establish the law of God as the law of the land, the law of all the Earth! That holy law reveals the seven biblical festivals of the LORD that Yeshua will faithfully teach and command all nations to observe or else - not just the Jewish people and Israelites.
Yes, too many people have inherited religious lies, and have passed down traditional error from generation to generation; worthless celebrations that God hates and rejects as unclean and polluted. It bears repeating, since our proud and stubborn peoples have thick skulls that need the truth knocked into them, driving home this biblical message: Christmas and Easter are PAGAN - those who say otherwise are liars, dishonest with themselves and others, worshipping God in vain (Titus 1:16, 1 John 2:4).
I believe many PROFESSING Christians are actually familiar with the Scriptures that condemn futile attempts to modify pagan holidays and tailor heathen customs to serve the true God (Deut. 12:30-32, Jer. 10:2-3), but they conveniently ignore them or reject them by woeful neglect when such Scriptures step on their traditional toes and make them uncomfortable, demanding change (isn't that what true conversion is all about?), requiring them to learn to love God's truth more than their TRADITIONS (Mark 7:7).
Abominable Christians, those who have the perverted religious preference of tradition over truth, are just like every other sinner unwilling to confess and forsake their sins and seek to whitewash or justify them. The difference is such professing Christians often pretend to be better or more righteous than those physical idolaters and immoral folks (who also refuse to repent) while they engage in spiritual idolatry (putting tradition over truth) and spiritual immorality (whoring around with other gods and foreign ways) bringing divine judgment upon our nations.
May the servants of God, who know and believe the Bible and its principles and prophecies about blessings for national obedience and curses for national disobedience (Dan. 9:11), plea for diehard Catholics and Protestants to REPENT!
May we take the Word of God seriously and turn from the pagan holidays that God hates so much He let ancient Israel and Judah suffer war, defeat and deportation for such "harmless" celebrations and blind observations. Will we insist on losing our national sovereignty too, brought to our knees to learn to see things God's way or will we repent and spare ourselves, our family and friends, from suffering the dreadful Time of Jacob's Trouble, the Great Tribulation?
1 Corinthians 10:19-21
19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. [No mixing and matching of pagan error with biblical truth]
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? [No diluting, adulterating and polluting of God's truth with pagan blends]Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
"I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people."
17 Therefore
"Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord. [Don't stay stuck in the rut of tradition, but let the plain truth set you free!]
Do not touch what is unclean,
And [then] I will receive you.
18 [on these conditions] I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty."

Perverted Christians
Yes, Christmas is PAGAN - those who say otherwise are liars, dishonest with themselves and others.
I believe many PROFESSING Christians (Titus 1:16, 1 John 2:4) are actually familiar with the Scriptures that condemn vain attempts to modify pagan holidays to serve the true God, but they conveniently ignore them or reject them by woeful neglect when such Scriptures step on their traditional toes and make them uncomfortable, demanding change (isn't that what true conversion is all about?), requiring them to learn to love God's truth more than their TRADITIONS (Mark 7:7).
Those who have the perverted preference of tradition over truth are just like every other sinner unwilling to confess and forsake their sins and seek to whitewash them or justify it. The difference is such professing Christians pretend to be religious or more righteous than those physical idolators and immoral folks (who also refuse to repent) while they engage in spiritual idolatry and immorality bringing judgment upon our nations.

Do You Know the Difference Between The Jewish People (Jews) and Israel?
Wake Up Call Newsletter #206
Do You Know the Difference Between
The Jewish People (Jews) and Israel?
You may be wondering: what difference it could possibly make who the Jewish people are in relationship to the Israelites?
1) Did you know that a majority of the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh or Old Testament) is prophecy?
2) Did you know that nearly all prophecy pertains to Israel or Judah in some fashion either separately or jointly?
3) Did you know that a large amount of that prophecy is for these latter days?
4) Did you know that the first place the word "Jew 1" is used in Scripture, the Jews are at war with Israel?
5) Did you know that the other nations of the world are only mentioned in prophecy based on how they interface with either/both of the "House of Israel" and/or the "House of Judah"?
6) In addition, the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" and the "Dreadful Day of ETERNAL's Wrath" are described in detail concerning both the "House of Israel" and the "House of Judah 2"?
1 In Scripture, the physical blood lineage of a person was the determining factor of them being considered Jewish. However, in today's world the definition of a Jewish person is someone who practices the religion of Judaism and is no longer determined solely on genealogical descent.
2 The Southern Kingdom the "House of Judah" consisted of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and part of the tribe of Levi (2 Chronicles 11:1-23). The Hebrew tribal names would be "Yehuwdah" (yeh-hoo-daw´ Strong’s #H3063), "Binyamiyn" (bin-yaw-mene' Strong’s #H1144), and "Leviy" (lay-vee' Strong’s #H3878) respectively. In addition a smattering of the other tribes left the Ten Tribe Northern Kingdom the "House of Israel" and returned to Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 11:16; 34:9).
This intermixture of people of all of Israel is called in the Hebrew tongue "Yehuwdiy" (yeh-hoo-dee' Strong’s #H3064} or "Jews" in English. Thus the use of the word "Jew" is not an English put down but a Hebrew description of the admixture of the different people of the Land of Judah. Nevertheless, this mix of people is referred to as the "House of Judah" or "bayith Yehuwdah" throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. This does not account for the mixture of tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi that remained in Babylon that did not return to the land of Judah.
In this short article we will answer those questions and show you why this knowledge will become increasingly more valuable for your understanding of world conditions as they worsen. In addition, one last question: "Did you know that all Jews who descend from Judah, Benjamin, and Levi are Israelites but not all Israelites are Jews?
If you are wondering: "How could that possibly be?" We will explain beginning with this statement: "All native Californians are Americans, but not all Americans are Californians." In like manner all native Jews are Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jewish.
To reinforce the fact they the peoples are different, note that the Jews are at war with Israel in the next Scripture:
2 Kings 16:5-6 (KJV). Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave [drove] the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.
An example of why you need to understand who Israel and Judah are is to understand the Time of Jacob's Trouble. It is important to note that this troubled time is for Jacob's descendants 3. That is the reason this latter-day time is called "Jacob's Trouble." There has been a mystery concerning the identity of the "House of Israel" as the "Lost Ten Tribes" for thousands of years. To the surprise of most of you, this mystery has been solved. "The Lost Ten Tribes" as referred to in Scripture is the House of Israel.
3 The "House of Israel" consists generally of the democracies of Northwestern Europe, the British Isles, America, and most of the nations of the former British Commonwealth. The "House of Judah" consists of the Jews. Both Houses together comprise the "House of Jacob" or the "Children of Israel"
Don't you think it might be important to know what the following Scriptures about the trouble ahead are talking about? This might especially be important as we look at the world around us and see the clouds of disaster on the horizon and hear the sounds of the drums of war driving the hoof-beats of the war-horses in various parts of the world.
As background, Ezekiel chapters four through nine show the beginning of the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" and how it proceeds. We find there that Jerusalem will again be surrounded and one-third will die in war; one-third in famine, starvation, and pestilence; and one-third will be taken into captivity. That is only the beginning of the Time of Trouble as a few of the righteous are thrown into the flames of Jerusalem and from there a fire spreads throughout all of the countries of Israel. In all of Israel only a remnant is left to be taken captive.
You might want to dismiss all of this from your mind by saying to yourself: "this all happened millenniums ago to an ancient people who are no longer to be found." But in actuality that is not the case! Since the Hebrew Scriptures consist of history and prophecy it may seem to be a mystery to even know which Scriptures are prophecy.
There is a simple key that unlocks the mystery and will separate the prophecy from the history. If you are reading history in Scripture, you will see that the House of Israel was captured first and later the House of Judah went into captivity. However, in Ezekiel, a book of prophecy for the latter days, the House of Judah is captured first then later the House of Israel. Thus we see that the scenarios of Ezekiel chapters four through nine have not happened yet and the latter-day prophecies are for the days just ahead of us.
Reading these Scriptures are discomforting when we read about our people ending up in captivity. Are these harsh words to read? Yes, they are. Then, why don't I just tell you of the peaceful time of ETERNAL’s Messianic Kingdom on earth when there will be peace and happiness as described in Isaiah chapter eleven as well as other passages?
The reason is that the combined happenings of 9-11 and W.W.II with its Holocaust will pale in significance to the upcoming calamities before the time of the messianic kingdom of the Wonderful World of Tomorrow. Soon, we will see the Time of Jacob's Trouble and it won't be pretty. My heart hurts for my family, my community, our nations and our world. But, there is yet hope!
The advent of the Messiah, who will build the third Temple in Jerusalem and reunite the House of Israel with the House of Judah, is "The Hope of Israel." In fact, the advent of the Mashiach is the only hope that the people in the nations of Israel and the world have.
How Did We Get in This Situation?
The story begins with Abraham and his obedience to the Great SOVEREIGN CREATOR who gave Abraham many promises. One of the promises 4 was that his descendants would make up many nations.
Genesis 17:3-5. 5 Then Abram fell on his face, and the SOVEREIGN talked with him, saying: "As for Me, behold, My Covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations."
4 See our booklet "The Twofold Promises to Abraham; the U.S.A., Britain, and the Jewish People in Prophesy."
5 Unless noted all Scriptures are from the New Kings James Version and all emphases are ours. We will use ETERNAL in place of "the Lord" and CREATOR or SOVEREIGN in place of "God."
Another of these promises was that these descendants of Abraham would be called the sons of Isaac.
Genesis 27:12. And the SOVEREIGN said unto Abraham, "Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called."
Even though Sarah was barren and was in her old age, the Great SOVEREIGN CREATOR intervened and she gave birth to a son and named him Isaac, (Genesis 21:2-3). Isaac had two sons Esau and Jacob. The birthright of Isaac was passed to Jacob (Genesis 25:24-33). Jacob's name was changed to Israel, (Genesis 35:10). Thus all the sons that Israel (Jacob) had became known as the "sons of Israel," and the resulting nation became the nation of Israel. Yet, the overriding name would still be the "sons of Isaac. 6"
6 The Hebrew word "ben" (bane Strong’s 1121) means "son" not "children," whereas "yeled" (yeh'-led Strong’s 3206) means offspring or children. Thus the term the "Children of Israel" is literally the "Sons of Israel" and all of them would be the "Sons of Isaac."
The twelve sons of Israel (Jacob) were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher (Genesis 35:23-26). The families of each of these sons became large and were known as the twelve tribes of Israel. Moses later brought these Israelite tribes out of slavery in Egypt.
However, Joseph had two sons named Ephraim and Manasseh that took his place and became two tribes, the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh in place of the Tribe of Joseph (Genesis 48:9-16). Joseph then was accounted for two tribes, thus there were thirteen tribes of Israel.
The tribe of Judah sprang from one man--Judah who was only one of Israel's (Jacob's) children. Judah's descendants were later called the Jews and they are only one-thirteenth of the tribes of Israel. This is a bit confusing because most Jews live in the country of Israel and in New York State. Therefore, we can see that all Jews are Israelites but not all Israelites are Jews.
The tribe of Levi became the Levitical priesthood and was scattered among all the tribes and was not counted as a tribal nation (Leviticus 1:47-50). Although there were actually thirteen tribes, they were counted only as twelve tribal nations.
Who Are the People of Israel in Today's World?
Abraham was promised that his descendants would become as numerous as the stars in the heavens (Genesis 17:5-7). Notice the longevity to the nations of Israel of a thousand generations that our CREATOR has promised.
Deuteronomy 7:6-9. For you are a holy people to ETERNAL CREATOR; ETERNAL CREATOR has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. ETERNAL did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples. But because ETERNAL loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, ETERNAL’ has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Therefore know that ETERNAL CREATOR He is CREATOR the faithful SOVEREIGN who keeps Covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His Commandments.
Beginning with the Golden calf the descendants of Abraham, now known as the Children (sons) of Israel, began to sin greatly by worshiping the Queen of Heaven.
Next the ETERNAL SOVEREIGN said that the House of Israel would be taken captive. Take note that the House of Judah (Jews) is mentioned by itself, and that both nations are mentioned together as the House of Isaac. Therefore, it requires both Israel and Judah together to make up the House of Isaac.
Amos 7:9-16. 7 The high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam." Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the House of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words." For thus Amos has said: "Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive from their own land." Then Amaziah said to Amos: "Go, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah. There eat bread, and there prophesy. But never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal residence." Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah: "I was no prophet; or was I a son of a prophet, but I was a sheepherder and a tender of sycamore fruit. Then ETERNAL took me as I followed the flock, and ETERNAL said to me, "Go, prophesy to My people Israel. Now therefore, hear the word of ETERNAL you say, "Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not spout against the House of Isaac."
7 As a side point, you can know that this is history because the House of Israel was taken captive first.
After King Solomon's death, the Commonwealth of Israel split into two nations. The Northern Kingdom consisting of ten tribes became the nation of Israel with Sheeted as the first capital. Samaria eventually became the permanent political capital of the Northern Kingdom. Israel consisted of the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Manasseh, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Jeroboam (their king) set up a golden calf in Dan and one in Betel and turned their religion to pagan mythology causing them to be later taken into captivity resulting in them losing their identity.
The Southern Kingdom consisted of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and part of Levi, and became the nation of Judah with its capital remaining in Jerusalem. Judah was later taken into Babylonian captivity but retained the sign of the Sabbath and did not lose its identity as the tribe of Judah. After seventy years, some of them returned to Jerusalem to build the second Temple.
Since Israel had turned to a mythological religion, they no longer worshipped The Mighty One of Israel or kept His Sabbath. They worshipped the mythological sun god on the first day of the week instead. The CREATOR set the Sabbath for all of Israel for a "sign" between Himself and Israel for all generations (Exodus 31:13; 20:12,20). Therefore, Israel lost the "sign" of their SOVEREIGN and thus lost their identity.
As time progressed, Assyria became a powerful empire. They captured and deported the ten tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in approximately 740 to 720 BCE (before Common Era). Assyria removed Israel from their homeland and replaced them with other captured peoples of the Assyrian Empire. The captured people of Israel were placed in the western part of the empire. Later Babylon became the world ruling empire ? replacing Assyria. Rather than be taken captive by the Babylonians, the Assyrians migrated westward and, in doing so, they pushed the Israelites farther westward. Since Israel had lost the "sign" of their SOVEREIGN they became the "Lost Ten Tribes."
In the late 1800’s, some clay Assyrian cuneiform tablets were discovered and they were finally translated in the 1930’s. These tablets were Assyrian records of this 700’s BCE Israelite deportation. There were records of four deportations which proved the ten tribes of the northern Nation of Israel were assembled into Assyrian culture and became identifiable as the Camerians, the Sycthians, and the Goths. Our records of ancient history show that over several hundred years, and through different paths, the Sycthian, Camerian and the Goths migrated essentially to northwest Europe and became known as the Anglo-Saxon Celtic people.
Linguistic analysis 7 of the word "Anglo-Saxon" shows the word "Saxon" means "sons of Isaac." This is exactly what was promised to Abraham and again to Jacob.
Genesis 48:16. The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
7 or more proof see our booklet "The Twofold Promises to Abraham."
Our SOVEREIGN's statement to Abraham, "in Isaac shall your seed be called" has now happened exactly that way. The basic message the CREATOR was relaying through Abraham is that through Isaac the Children of Israel will be able to learn their identity. This is not the total proof of the matter as it is just to show how the name was carried down to aid in our identification.
Secular history traces the Anglo-Saxon "Lost Ten Tribes" of Israel through the Caucasus Mountains where they picked up the name Caucasians. From there, they migrated into Europe and the British Isles. Portions of them migrated from Europe to America. Generally speaking, the democracies of Eastern Europe, America, and the countries of the former British Commonwealth are the "Lost Ten Tribes" of Israel. Most people in these countries have the mistaken feeling that they are gentile because most people today have no idea past two or three generations where they came from.
In the coronation of the kings of ancient Israel, Ireland, Scotland, and England, a special stone played an important part. The Coronation Chair contained the stone known as Jacob's Pillar Stone (Stone of Scone) of which it is said that Jacob had anointed with oil and declared it to be the House of The Almighty (Beth-El; Genesis 28:10-22).
The Coronation Chair of Ephraim resting upon four Lions representing Judah is symbolic of the Throne that the Messiah known as the Branch of David may rule from. The only Hope for Israel and the world is the reunification of the House of Israel and the House of Judah in the latter days at the Advent of the Messiah 8 (Mashiach). Notice concerning this hope in Scripture:
2 Chronicles 7:13-14. When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
8 See our article "New Proof of the Messiah."
For a long time, many people have felt there was more to the Hebrew Scriptures (OT) than they have been taught. This is true because the Hebrew Scriptures are written to all of the people of Israel. The world time clock says we are less than a minute away from midnight. The hour is late in this earth age and the time is too short just to be playing church. Educate yourself on the location of Israel, the truth of the Hebrew Scriptures, and how to seek our CREATOR's face.
We invite you to our web site to learn more on this vital subject for there is a great difference between the Jews and Israel and in addition, how to Quest for the Ancient of Days. We would like to hear your opinion of the ideas expressed there.
May our loving CREATOR grant peace and understanding.

Do You Know the Difference Between
The Jewish People (Jews) and Israel?
You may be wondering: what difference it could possibly make who the Jewish people are in relationship to the Israelites?
1) Did you know that a majority of the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh or Old Testament) is prophecy?
2) Did you know that nearly all prophecy pertains to Israel or Judah in some fashion either separately or jointly?
3) Did you know that a large amount of that prophecy is for these latter days?
4) Did you know that the first place the word "Jew 1" is used in Scripture, the Jews are at war with Israel?
5) Did you know that the other nations of the world are only mentioned in prophecy based on how they interface with either/both of the "House of Israel" and/or the "House of Judah"?
6) In addition, the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" and the "Dreadful Day of ETERNAL's Wrath" are described in detail concerning both the "House of Israel" and the "House of Judah 2"?
1 In Scripture, the physical blood lineage of a person was the determining factor of them being considered Jewish. However, in today's world the definition of a Jewish person is someone who practices the religion of Judaism and is no longer determined solely on genealogical descent.
2 The Southern Kingdom the "House of Judah" consisted of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and part of the tribe of Levi (2 Chronicles 11:1-23). The Hebrew tribal names would be "Yehuwdah" (yeh-hoo-daw´ Strong’s #H3063), "Binyamiyn" (bin-yaw-mene' Strong’s #H1144), and "Leviy" (lay-vee' Strong’s #H3878) respectively. In addition a smattering of the other tribes left the Ten Tribe Northern Kingdom the "House of Israel" and returned to Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 11:16; 34:9).
This intermixture of people of all of Israel is called in the Hebrew tongue "Yehuwdiy" (yeh-hoo-dee' Strong’s #H3064} or "Jews" in English. Thus the use of the word "Jew" is not an English put down but a Hebrew description of the admixture of the different people of the Land of Judah. Nevertheless, this mix of people is referred to as the "House of Judah" or "bayith Yehuwdah" throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. This does not account for the mixture of tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi that remained in Babylon that did not return to the land of Judah.
In this short article we will answer those questions and show you why this knowledge will become increasingly more valuable for your understanding of world conditions as they worsen. In addition, one last question: "Did you know that all Jews who descend from Judah, Benjamin, and Levi are Israelites but not all Israelites are Jews?
If you are wondering: "How could that possibly be?" We will explain beginning with this statement: "All native Californians are Americans, but not all Americans are Californians." In like manner all native Jews are Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jewish.
To reinforce the fact they the peoples are different, note that the Jews are at war with Israel in the next Scripture:
2 Kings 16:5-6 (KJV). Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave [drove] the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.
An example of why you need to understand who Israel and Judah are is to understand the Time of Jacob's Trouble. It is important to note that this troubled time is for Jacob's descendants 3. That is the reason this latter-day time is called "Jacob's Trouble." There has been a mystery concerning the identity of the "House of Israel" as the "Lost Ten Tribes" for thousands of years. To the surprise of most of you, this mystery has been solved. "The Lost Ten Tribes" as referred to in Scripture is the House of Israel.
3 The "House of Israel" consists generally of the democracies of Northwestern Europe, the British Isles, America, and most of the nations of the former British Commonwealth. The "House of Judah" consists of the Jews. Both Houses together comprise the "House of Jacob" or the "Children of Israel"
Don't you think it might be important to know what the following Scriptures about the trouble ahead are talking about? This might especially be important as we look at the world around us and see the clouds of disaster on the horizon and hear the sounds of the drums of war driving the hoof-beats of the war-horses in various parts of the world.
As background, Ezekiel chapters four through nine show the beginning of the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" and how it proceeds. We find there that Jerusalem will again be surrounded and one-third will die in war; one-third in famine, starvation, and pestilence; and one-third will be taken into captivity. That is only the beginning of the Time of Trouble as a few of the righteous are thrown into the flames of Jerusalem and from there a fire spreads throughout all of the countries of Israel. In all of Israel only a remnant is left to be taken captive.
You might want to dismiss all of this from your mind by saying to yourself: "this all happened millenniums ago to an ancient people who are no longer to be found." But in actuality that is not the case! Since the Hebrew Scriptures consist of history and prophecy it may seem to be a mystery to even know which Scriptures are prophecy.
There is a simple key that unlocks the mystery and will separate the prophecy from the history. If you are reading history in Scripture, you will see that the House of Israel was captured first and later the House of Judah went into captivity. However, in Ezekiel, a book of prophecy for the latter days, the House of Judah is captured first then later the House of Israel. Thus we see that the scenarios of Ezekiel chapters four through nine have not happened yet and the latter-day prophecies are for the days just ahead of us.
Reading these Scriptures are discomforting when we read about our people ending up in captivity. Are these harsh words to read? Yes, they are. Then, why don't I just tell you of the peaceful time of ETERNAL’s Messianic Kingdom on earth when there will be peace and happiness as described in Isaiah chapter eleven as well as other passages?
The reason is that the combined happenings of 9-11 and W.W.II with its Holocaust will pale in significance to the upcoming calamities before the time of the messianic kingdom of the Wonderful World of Tomorrow. Soon, we will see the Time of Jacob's Trouble and it won't be pretty. My heart hurts for my family, my community, our nations and our world. But, there is yet hope!
The advent of the Messiah, who will build the third Temple in Jerusalem and reunite the House of Israel with the House of Judah, is "The Hope of Israel." In fact, the advent of the Mashiach is the only hope that the people in the nations of Israel and the world have.
How Did We Get in This Situation?
The story begins with Abraham and his obedience to the Great SOVEREIGN CREATOR who gave Abraham many promises. One of the promises 4 was that his descendants would make up many nations.
Genesis 17:3-5. 5 Then Abram fell on his face, and the SOVEREIGN talked with him, saying: "As for Me, behold, My Covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations."
4 See our booklet "The Twofold Promises to Abraham; the U.S.A., Britain, and the Jewish People in Prophesy."
5 Unless noted all Scriptures are from the New Kings James Version and all emphases are ours. We will use ETERNAL in place of "the Lord" and CREATOR or SOVEREIGN in place of "God."
Another of these promises was that these descendants of Abraham would be called the sons of Isaac.
Genesis 27:12. And the SOVEREIGN said unto Abraham, "Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called."
Even though Sarah was barren and was in her old age, the Great SOVEREIGN CREATOR intervened and she gave birth to a son and named him Isaac, (Genesis 21:2-3). Isaac had two sons Esau and Jacob. The birthright of Isaac was passed to Jacob (Genesis 25:24-33). Jacob's name was changed to Israel, (Genesis 35:10). Thus all the sons that Israel (Jacob) had became known as the "sons of Israel," and the resulting nation became the nation of Israel. Yet, the overriding name would still be the "sons of Isaac. 6"
6 The Hebrew word "ben" (bane Strong’s 1121) means "son" not "children," whereas "yeled" (yeh'-led Strong’s 3206) means offspring or children. Thus the term the "Children of Israel" is literally the "Sons of Israel" and all of them would be the "Sons of Isaac."
The twelve sons of Israel (Jacob) were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher (Genesis 35:23-26). The families of each of these sons became large and were known as the twelve tribes of Israel. Moses later brought these Israelite tribes out of slavery in Egypt.
However, Joseph had two sons named Ephraim and Manasseh that took his place and became two tribes, the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh in place of the Tribe of Joseph (Genesis 48:9-16). Joseph then was accounted for two tribes, thus there were thirteen tribes of Israel.
The tribe of Judah sprang from one man--Judah who was only one of Israel's (Jacob's) children. Judah's descendants were later called the Jews and they are only one-thirteenth of the tribes of Israel. This is a bit confusing because most Jews live in the country of Israel and in New York State. Therefore, we can see that all Jews are Israelites but not all Israelites are Jews.
The tribe of Levi became the Levitical priesthood and was scattered among all the tribes and was not counted as a tribal nation (Leviticus 1:47-50). Although there were actually thirteen tribes, they were counted only as twelve tribal nations.
Who Are the People of Israel in Today's World?
Abraham was promised that his descendants would become as numerous as the stars in the heavens (Genesis 17:5-7). Notice the longevity to the nations of Israel of a thousand generations that our CREATOR has promised.
Deuteronomy 7:6-9. For you are a holy people to ETERNAL CREATOR; ETERNAL CREATOR has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. ETERNAL did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples. But because ETERNAL loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, ETERNAL’ has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Therefore know that ETERNAL CREATOR He is CREATOR the faithful SOVEREIGN who keeps Covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His Commandments.
Beginning with the Golden calf the descendants of Abraham, now known as the Children (sons) of Israel, began to sin greatly by worshiping the Queen of Heaven.
Next the ETERNAL SOVEREIGN said that the House of Israel would be taken captive. Take note that the House of Judah (Jews) is mentioned by itself, and that both nations are mentioned together as the House of Isaac. Therefore, it requires both Israel and Judah together to make up the House of Isaac.
Amos 7:9-16. 7 The high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam." Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the House of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words." For thus Amos has said: "Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive from their own land." Then Amaziah said to Amos: "Go, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah. There eat bread, and there prophesy. But never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal residence." Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah: "I was no prophet; or was I a son of a prophet, but I was a sheepherder and a tender of sycamore fruit. Then ETERNAL took me as I followed the flock, and ETERNAL said to me, "Go, prophesy to My people Israel. Now therefore, hear the word of ETERNAL you say, "Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not spout against the House of Isaac."
7 As a side point, you can know that this is history because the House of Israel was taken captive first.
After King Solomon's death, the Commonwealth of Israel split into two nations. The Northern Kingdom consisting of ten tribes became the nation of Israel with Sheeted as the first capital. Samaria eventually became the permanent political capital of the Northern Kingdom. Israel consisted of the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Manasseh, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Jeroboam (their king) set up a golden calf in Dan and one in Betel and turned their religion to pagan mythology causing them to be later taken into captivity resulting in them losing their identity.
The Southern Kingdom consisted of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and part of Levi, and became the nation of Judah with its capital remaining in Jerusalem. Judah was later taken into Babylonian captivity but retained the sign of the Sabbath and did not lose its identity as the tribe of Judah. After seventy years, some of them returned to Jerusalem to build the second Temple.
Since Israel had turned to a mythological religion, they no longer worshipped The Mighty One of Israel or kept His Sabbath. They worshipped the mythological sun god on the first day of the week instead. The CREATOR set the Sabbath for all of Israel for a "sign" between Himself and Israel for all generations (Exodus 31:13; 20:12,20).

Decadent Western Nations Clash with Islam
The God vacuum: America and the barbarian hordes
November 9, 2006
By David Kupelian
© 2006
In the Old Testament of the Bible, God is shown time after time chastising the House of Israel, His chosen but often disobedient people, by allowing barbarians to invade and plunder their cities and put many of them to the sword.
That is what the Western World, including America, is starting to experience today, having likewise turned away from God.
This raging conflict between Islam and the West, this "clash of civilizations" that many are calling World War III, is at root a spiritual war...
*************************
I believe as a general rule we are more wicked now than before in that at least before we kept our sins in the closet and didn't offer public sanction of them; folks knew right from wrong and didn't deny it even if they didn't live up to such biblical standards perfectly. Didn't Yeshua speak of this decline in character when He said it would become as in the days of Noah and Lot?
Europe is in danger of becoming a dhimmi continent, but it's about to be jolted and under pressure, feeling threatened, return to the "Cross" to save them from the Crescent and the King of the North will defeat the King of the South - just as Herbert W. Armstrong taught.

It is Christians who should want to put an end to the gross commercialization of Christmas (abusing God's Name for a profit - "What a friend we have in Jesus" some sing holding hands around the cash register) and the BIG HOAX that Christmas is Christian when it's a pagan holiday in Christian drag!

Latest News from the Temple Mount Faithful Movement
8 November 2006
Important News from the Work of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement
An Exciting and Important Speaking Tour by the Chairman of the Movement, Gershon Salomon to the United States
Recently, before the Rosh Hashana holiday, the chairman of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, Gershon Salomon, returned to Israel after almost six weeks of his speaking tour in many states of the USA. It was an exciting and very important tour. He spoke in many congregations and in every place he and his godly end-time message were accepted with great excitement, appreciation and love.
Gershon shared in every place where he spoke the vision and the activities of the Faithful Movement for the rebuilding of the end-time Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem as the focus of all the end-time activities of the G–d and the people of Israel. He spoke about the exciting redemptive and critical situation in Israel today and in the near future that in the focus of them will be the rebuilding of the Third Temple in our lifetime. He spoke about the need and the godly destiny of Israel to be again a biblical nation with a biblical godly mission, to be as G-d dedicated them to be, a holy nation, a kingdom of priests, a treasure and light to the nations. Israel can not run away from her destiny or from the covenant that G–d made with her. Israel was redeemed by G-d in our time to bring to pass and to complete her godly covenant and mission in our lifetime and it is not as just a vision for the far future. He again and again put in the midst of His Word the critical mission and task of Israel at the end-times we are living now to rebuild the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem and to open by this the door for the coming of Mashiach ben David and the establishment of G-d’s kingdom from Jerusalem to all over the world exactly as G-d spoke His end-time Word to us through His prophets Micah, Isaiah and others:
“But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for Torah shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning far away strong nations; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken it” (Micah 4: 1-4 and Isaiah 2: 1-4).
Many important results came from this important speaking tour. Many more friends joined the Faithful Movement and their holy work to have an important part in it and to assist her spiritually and practically. New friends joined to our old friends and members of the Movement and sent their offerings for the holy work of the Movement and for the Third Temple of G-d which we do everything so that it will soon be rebuilt. Women sent their jewelery of gold and silver for the Temple and Gershon had tears in his eyes to see how biblical history repeats in our lifetime in such an exciting way and when he saw, felt and experienced the great love of so many people and leaders to the Faithful Movement and to Israel. These people and leaders represent millions of people who’s eyes are lifted today with love and blessings to the godly work of the Faithful Movement and Israel. The Faithful Movement, thanks to G-d, is today G-d’s important end-time vessel for His end-time plans and purposes and a vessel of so many people all over the world to fulfill their end-time hopes and desires that in the midst of them is the rebuilding of the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement wants to thank all of them so much for answering the end-time call of G-d to everyone in the world to stand with and to help the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement in her major godly work and to stand with Israel that is today rebuilding the kingdom of G-d in Jerusalem and the land of Israel that G-d gave her in an eternal covenant.
Preparations for the next speaking tour of Gershon Salomon to the United States and other countries for next summer has already begun. He has many invitations but his schedule is open to other invitations. Those who would like to invite him to speak in their congregations or other groups and communities should contact the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement center in Jerusalem so that we may schedule them on his next speaking tour at the addresses/telephone number below.
A Critical Godly End-Time Situation in Israel and All Over the World
Israel is facing today in the midst of her holy godly work so many enemies that are trying to stop and destroy what G-d is doing in Israel together with His chosen people. This is a critical time not only in the history of Israel but in the history of all the world. Many godly end-time events are going to be a part of the near future. The focus of all of them will be in Israel. Everyone in the world is now experiencing a time of a godly test: Do you stand with Israel? The meaning is that you stand with G-d at a time when it is critically expected from you by G-d. Will you stand against Israel? The meaning is that you stand against G-d. As the prophetic Word of G-d shares with us, this is a critical test, as it was in the past, but now even much more. This is the test that comes before the day of judgement as the prophets of Israel prophesied about it, especially Ezekiel 38-39, Zachariah 12&14 and as the prophet Joel shared with us the Word of G-d about the end-time judgement:
“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided my land. Proclaim this among the nations; Prepare war, stir up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up; Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong. Hasten and come, all you nations, and gather yourselves together around; cause your mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the nations be stirred up, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations around. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, tread down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. And the Lord roars out of Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shake; but the Lord will be a refuge for his people, and a fortress for the people of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; then shall Jerusalem be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more. And it shall come to pass on that day, that the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the streams of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall issue from the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done against the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall remain for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For though I have acquitted them, I have not acquitted those who shed their blood. And the Lord dwells in Zion” (Joel 4: 1-2, 9-21).
Everyone in the world is invited by the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement to join to her and to assist her holy work that will open a new godly era in the life of all mankind. Send to us your assistance and encouragement at:

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement Marched to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem During the Festival of Succoth as an Important Part of Their Historical Campaign for the Rebuilding of the Temple
The Pilgrims Marched Later to the Siloam Pool in the City of David to a New and Exciting Tradition from the Biblical Times
As our forefathers in the biblical times did when they made the pilgrimage on the Feast of Succoth (the Feast of Tabernacles), the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement made an exiting pilgrimage to the Temple Mount, the location of the First and the Second Temples and the location of the Third Temple which is soon to be rebuilt on the 17th of Tishrei 5767 (October 9, 2006).
This major event was an important part of the historical campaign of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement and her mission to build the Third Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in our lifetime. It was another important step in the intensive activities of the Movement. The Faithful Movement marched to the Temple Mount with a large model of the Temple and other vessels reconstructed to be used in the Third Temple which attracted a lot of attention from thousands of Israelis who came to be blessed by the Priestly Blessing as the priest did in the biblical times inside the Temple. The model is carried again and again by the Faithful Movement to the Temple Mount to bring to the attention of Israel and all the world that the Faithful Movement is determined to rebuild the Temple as a practical event in our lifetime and not as it was in the past, a vision for the distant future when the Messiah comes. According to the prophetic Word of G–d, the Temple should be built before the coming of the Messiah in the prophetic time that we are now living in that He called the end-times. This model during the march of the Faithful Movement to the Temple Mount touched the hearts of so many Israelis and guests from outside of Israel who participated in this pilgrimage and awoke in them a deep excitement and desire to see the rebuilding of the Temple in their lifetime.
The Faithful members who went up onto the Temple Mount found the most holy place of Israel and all the world in a sad condition, still desecrated by the presence of the Islamic mosques the Muslims who have continued to desecrate the holy hill of the G–d of Israel for such a long time. The feeling was like the Shekinah of G-d is weeping with tears calling the children of Israel to purify the Temple Mount from the presence of the pagan foreigners and their pagan houses and to rebuild the Temple of G–d so that He can again dwell among His people Israel and all His creation. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement pilgrims swore at this sad moment not to rest day and night until the Temple is rebuilt and the hundred thousand Israelis who pilgrimaged on this day to the Western Wall (not the right place) to be blessed by hundreds of priests will go up to the Temple Mount (the right place) to be blessed by the priests exactly as G–d commanded them.
There is a great progress in the work and the campaign of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement in Israel and all over the world. More and more people are demonstrating their desire to immediately see the purification of the Temple Mount and the rebuilding of the Temple. They demonstrate before the government and the Israeli authorities the ideas of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement not to fear the Arab and Islamic enemies of Israel but to trust only the G–d of Israel and to immediately build the Temple as He expects them to do. When we pilgrimaged on this day at the Temple Mount we felt the presence of G–d so strongly all over the mountain like He was saying to us: “Time is short and soon the Temple will be again My house where I will dwell among my people Israel and all the world as I have desired so many years since the Second Temple was destroyed.
It was an exciting moment when the prayers of the Faithful pilgrims to the Temple Mount prayed the holy prayer of our forefathers to the G–d of Israel: “Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord; This is the gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter. I will give you thanks; for you have answered me, and you have become my salvation.” (Psalm 118: 19-21).
Gershon Salomon called on the Israeli Government in his word to immediately remove the Arab Islamic presence on the Temple Mount, to immediately stop the desecration of the holy hill of G-d, to purify the place which is the heart and the soul of Israel from their presence and to rebuild immediately the Temple. He stated that the fulfillment of this expectation from the G–d of Israel will also remove the Islamic Arab enemies from all over the land of Israel, will stop the terror and wars against Israel and bring peace to Israel and all the world. He reminded them of the promise of G–d to Israel that He will not allow any of her enemies to touch her if Israel will fulfill His request to build the Temple and open a new time in the life of Israel and all the world. He reminded them that if they will do so no one will even have a desire to the land that He gave them in an eternal covenant: “ For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders; nor shall any man." Gershon called on the people of Israel to finish their worship near the Western Wall, which represents destruction and exile, and to go up to the Mountain of G–d to build the Temple and to worship there at the right place where G–d dedicated it to worship Him.
The Biblical Ceremony of the Blessing and Prayers for Water Near the Ancient Siloam Pool that was Recently Discovered in the Archeological Diggings in the City of David
This was also the Pool where the Pilgrims used to Baptise Themselves Before their Pilgrimage to the Temple
After the pilgrimage of the Faithful Movement to the Temple Mount the pilgrims marched to the City of David on their way to the Siloam Pool, that was dug by King Hezekiah in the First Temple age, to make the biblical ceremony of the blessings of the water exactly as our forefathers did when the Temple existed. On their way to the Siloam Pool they passed the Palace of King David that was just recently discovered and other exciting archeological discoveries from the First Temple age.
The Siloam Pool that was also discovered in the last year was an important project of King Hezekiah, one of the most righteous kings of Israel. His goal was to bring the water of the Gihon and the Siloah Springs inside the City of David so that the Israelis would have water at times when the enemy would surround the city. This project survived until today and we can see the water running from outside the City of David to this exciting pool.
In the biblical times when the Temple existed the pilgrims together with the priests, the King of Israel and all the residents of Jerusalem would march from the Temple in a great and exciting celebration all the way to the City of David to the Siloam Pool to pray to the G–d of Israel, for a blessed year with rain and a lot of water. The high priests used to draw water from the pool and march to the Temple Mount and to pour it on the alter. Tradition says that anyone who had never seen this celebration and joy in his life never saw a real celebration and joy.
The Temple Mount Faithful pilgrims did the same ceremony on this day. It was an exciting event. An historical circle was closed at these moments between our forefathers and our generation that has returned to Jerusalem and is working towards the rebuilding of the Temple and renewing all the biblical traditions and ceremonies. When we stood in the pool we felt like we were standing in the footsteps of our forefathers and the Priests, the Kings and the Prophets of Israel.
This exciting day will never be forgotten. It brought the Faithful Movement and all the people of Israel and their many friends from all over the world much closer to the godly desired moment of the rebuilding of the Temple and the coming of Mashiach ben David. All of this is soon to happen, G–d willing, soon and in our lifetime.
Everyone in Israel and the world is called on to stand with, to encourage and to help the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, spiritually and practically to fulfill her godly cause in our lifetime. Let us together open a great godly moral time in the life of Israel and all the world. This cause is no longer a dream but it will soon be a practical reality in the life of all of us.
The Temple Mount Faithful Movement has started to prepare her Hanukkah march to the Temple Mount, the tombs of the Maccabees and Jerusalem together with the cornerstones for the Third Temple. This event will take place on the 20th of December, 2006. Everyone in Israel and all over the world is invited and called to participate in this exciting event and to be a part of it. Everyone who wants to participate should contact the Movement for details and to confirm their coming to the event. A group of friends from the US are arranging a trip to Israel at this time and will participate in this event and will tour throughout Israel another nine days. For more details about this tour to Israel please contact Jon Klein at: jonklein01@earthlink.net.

Important News from the Work of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement
An Exciting and Important Speaking Tour by the Chairman of the Movement, Gershon Salomon to the United States
Recently, before the Rosh Hashana holiday, the chairman of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement, Gershon Salomon, returned to Israel after almost six weeks of his speaking tour in many states of the USA. It was an exciting and very important tour. He spoke in many congregations and in every place he and his godly end-time message were accepted with great excitement, appreciation and love.
Gershon shared in every place where he spoke the vision and the activities of the Faithful Movement for the rebuilding of the end-time Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem as the focus of all the end-time activities of the G–d and the people of Israel. He spoke about the exciting redemptive and critical situation in Israel today and in the near future that in the focus of them will be the rebuilding of the Third Temple in our lifetime. He spoke about the need and the godly destiny of Israel to be again a biblical nation with a biblical godly mission, to be as G-d dedicated them to be, a holy nation, a kingdom of priests, a treasure and light to the nations. Israel can not run away from her destiny or from the covenant that G–d made with her. Israel was redeemed by G-d in our time to bring to pass and to complete her godly covenant and mission in our lifetime and it is not as just a vision for the far future. He again and again put in the midst of His Word the critical mission and task of Israel at the end-times we are living now to rebuild the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem and to open by this the door for the coming of Mashiach ben David and the establishment of G-d’s kingdom from Jerusalem to all over the world exactly as G-d spoke His end-time Word to us through His prophets Micah, Isaiah and others:
“But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for Torah shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning far away strong nations; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken it” (Micah 4: 1-4 and Isaiah 2: 1-4).
Many important results came from this important speaking tour. Many more friends joined the Faithful Movement and their holy work to have an important part in it and to assist her spiritually and practically. New friends joined to our old friends and members of the Movement and sent their offerings for the holy work of the Movement and for the Third Temple of G-d which we do everything so that it will soon be rebuilt. Women sent their jewelery of gold and silver for the Temple and Gershon had tears in his eyes to see how biblical history repeats in our lifetime in such an exciting way and when he saw, felt and experienced the great love of so many people and leaders to the Faithful Movement and to Israel. These people and leaders represent millions of people who’s eyes are lifted today with love and blessings to the godly work of the Faithful Movement and Israel. The Faithful Movement, thanks to G-d, is today G-d’s important end-time vessel for His end-time plans and purposes and a vessel of so many people all over the world to fulfill their end-time hopes and desires that in the midst of them is the rebuilding of the Temple of G-d in Jerusalem.

The Origin of Sunday Observance
The Origin of Sunday Observance
(This compilation of information regarding the Roman Catholic Cult's thinking to "change the times and the seasons" was put together by some Seventh Day Adventists. For the record, I don't accept everything they teach, but they are absolutely correct that the seventh day remains the Sabbath of the Lord and His People - not Sunday).
"It is certain, that Christ himself, his Apostles, and the Primitive Christians, for some good space of time did constantly observe the seventh-day Sabbath."—William Prynne, A Briefe Polemicall Dissertation, Concerning...the Lordsday-Sabbath , p. 33.
"Until the second century there is no concrete evidence of a Christian weekly Sunday celebration anywhere. The first specific references during that century come from Alexandria and Rome, places that also early rejected observance of the seventh-day Sabbath." Dr. Kenneth Strand, The Sabbath in Scripture and History , p. 330.
"It is certain that the ancient Sabbath did remain and was observed...by the Christians of the East Church, about three hundred years after our Saviour’s death."—Prof. E. Brerewood, A Learned Treatise of the Sabbath , p. 77.
"Down even to the fifth century the observance of the Jewish Sabbath was continued in the Christian church."—Lyman Coleman, Ancient Christianity Exemplified , chap. 26, sec. 2.
"Although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this."—Socrates Scholasticus (written about A.D. 440), quoted in Ecclesiastical History , Book 5, chapter 22.
"The Christian Church made no formal, but a gradual and almost unconscious, transference of the one day to the other."—F. W. Farrar, The Voice From Sinai , p. 167.
"Christianity and the higher forms of paganism tended to come nearer and nearer to each other as time went on.... They tended to merge into one another like streams which had been following converging courses."—J. H. Robinson, Introduction to the History of Western Europe. p. 31.
"The two opposed creeds moved in the same intellectual and moral sphere, and one could actually pass from one to the other without shock or interruption....

The Sabbath
(This compilation of information regarding the Roman Catholic Cult's thinking to "change the times and the seasons" was put together by some Seventh Day Adventists. For the record, I don't accept everything they teach, but they are absolutely correct that the seventh day remains the Sabbath of the Lord and His People - not Sunday).
"It is certain, that Christ himself, his Apostles, and the Primitive Christians, for some good space of time did constantly observe the seventh-day Sabbath."—William Prynne, A Briefe Polemicall Dissertation, Concerning...the Lordsday-Sabbath , p. 33.
"Until the second century there is no concrete evidence of a Christian weekly Sunday celebration anywhere. The first specific references during that century come from Alexandria and Rome, places that also early rejected observance of the seventh-day Sabbath." Dr. Kenneth Strand, The Sabbath in Scripture and History , p. 330.
"It is certain that the ancient Sabbath did remain and was observed...by the Christians of the East Church, about three hundred years after our Saviour’s death."—Prof. E. Brerewood, A Learned Treatise of the Sabbath , p. 77.
"Down even to the fifth century the observance of the Jewish Sabbath was continued in the Christian church."—Lyman Coleman, Ancient Christianity Exemplified , chap. 26, sec. 2.
"Although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this."—Socrates Scholasticus (written about A.D. 440), quoted in Ecclesiastical History , Book 5, chapter 22.
"The Christian Church made no formal, but a gradual and almost unconscious, transference of the one day to the other."—F. W. Farrar, The Voice From Sinai , p. 167.
"Christianity and the higher forms of paganism tended to come nearer and nearer to each other as time went on.... They tended to merge into one another like streams which had been following converging courses."—J. H. Robinson, Introduction to the History of Western Europe. p. 31.
"The two opposed creeds moved in the same intellectual and moral sphere, and one could actually pass from one to the other without shock or interruption....

WHO MURDERED YITZHAK RABIN? - Chapter 5: "How did They miss Amir at the Rally?"
WHO MURDERED YITZHAK RABIN?
Chapter Five: "How did They miss Amir at the Rally?"

R&B Editor's Notes:
Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?: The Root & Branch Information Services is serializing the book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?, by Mr. Barry Chamish, with permission of the author, to commemorate the upcoming eleventh anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin (November 4, 1995 -- November 4, 2006).
The Bible Says:
"How is the faithful city [Jerusalem] become a harlot. She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. Your silver is become dross, your wine is mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Therefore, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of My adversaries, and avenge Me of My enemies; and I will turn My hand upon you, and purge away your dross as with lye, and will take away all your allow; and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you [Jerusalem] shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they who return of her with righteousness.
But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the garden that you have chosen. For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them".
[Yeshayahu/Isaiah 1:21-31]
YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Seventeenth Day, Eighth Month ("Cheshvan"), 5767; Yom Revi'i (Fourth Day of the Week/"Wednes"-day, November 8, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services [mailto:rb@rb.org.il]:
Chapter Five: "How did They miss Amir at the Rally?"
One of the questions the media asked after the assassination is how the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] missed identifying Amir in the sterile area where he "shot" Rabin. The first answer given by the Shabak was that because of the thick crowd, it was impossible to pick out Amir.
The "amateur film" purportedly made by Ronnie Kempler put that lie to rest. Amir is shown alone standing by a potted plant for long minutes without another soul in sight for yards around him. The only people who are filmed
talking to him are two uniformed policemen.
Under normal circumstances, the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] would have prevented Amir from getting anywhere near the rally itself -- and had he somehow gained access to the sterile area, he would have been apprehended on the spot -- because the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] had lots of information that Amir was planning to assassinate Rabin.
Take the famous case of Shlomi Halevy, a reserve soldier in the I.D.F.'s Intelligence Brigade and a fellow student of Amir's at Bar-Ilan University. After being informed that Amir was talking about killing Rabin, he [Halevy] reported the information to his superior officer in the brigade. He [the superior officer] told Halevy to go to the police immediately.
Halevy told them that "A short Yemenite in Eyal was boasting that he was going to assassinate Rabin". The police took Halevy very seriously and transferred his report to the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] where it was not "discovered" until three days after Rabin's assassination.
The weekly newsmagazine Yerushalayim on September 22, 1996 managed to convince Halevy to give his first interview since the discovery of his report and the subsequent media fallout. The magazine noted:
Yerushaliyim, September 22, 1996
Halevy's and other reports of Amir's intentions which gathered dust in Shabak [Israel General Security Services] files have fueled numerous conspiracy theories...After the uproar, Halevy went into hiding.
"Shlomi Halevy, if you did the right thing why have you hidden from the public?"
Halevy: "The assassination is a sore point with the Shabak. They're big and I'm little. I don't know what they could do to me".
Halevy was the most publicized case because as a soldier in the Intelligence Brigade, the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] was absolutely required to take his evidence seriously as did the police. But Halevy was not the only informant.
Yediot Ahronot, November 12, 1995
A number of weeks before the Rabin assassination, the Shabak received information about the existence of Yigal Amir and his intention to murder Yitzhak Rabin.
Yediot Ahronot was informed that one of the Eyal activists arrested last week was interrogated for being a possible co-conspirator with Yigal Amir because the assassin's brother Haggai had mentioned him [the Eyal activist] in his [Haggai's] own interrogation. At the beginning of his interrogation, the suspect broke out into bitter tears and told a tale that was initially viewed with tongue in cheek by the interrogators.
Weeks before the murder, the suspect heard Amir speak his intentions and he was shocked. He was torn between informing the authorities and betraying his fellows, so he chose a middle route. He would give away Amir's intentions without naming him.
After some hesitation, he informed a police intelligence officer about Amir's plan in detail, stopping just short of identifying him or his address. He told where Amir studied and described him as a "Short, dark Yemenite with curly
hair".
The description was passed along the police communications network and classified as important. The information was also passed to the Shabak [Israel General Security Services], officers of which subsequently took a statement from the suspect. Because he was in a delicate position, neither the police or Shabak [Israel General Security Services] pressed him further.
While interrogated, the suspect named the police and Shabak [Israel General Security Services] officers and his story checked out. He was then released. Shabak [Israel General Security Services] officials confirmed that the man had previously given them a description of Amir and his plan to murder Rabin.
************
Ma'ariv, November 19, 1995
Hila Frank knew Amir well from her studies at Bar Ilan. After the assassination, she hired a lawyer and told him that she had heard Amir state his intention to murder Rabin well before the event. As a member of the campus Security Committee, she organized anti-government demonstrations.
Thus, she was torn between exposing Amir's intentions and the interests of the state. To overcome the dilemma, she passed on her information to Shlomi Halevy, a reserve soldier in the Intelligence Brigade who promised that it would be
given to the right people.
************
Yerushalayim, November 17, 1995
Why wasn't a drawing of Amir based on Halevy's description distributed to the Prime Minister's security staff? Why didn't they interrogate other Eyal activists to discover who the man threatening to kill the prime minister was?
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 10, 1995
A month and a half before the assassination, journalist Yaron Kenner pretended to be a sympathizer and spent two days at a study sabbath in Hebron organized by Yigal Amir.
"Who organized this event?" I asked. He pointed to Yigal Amir...He had invited 400 and over 540 arrived. This caused organizational havoc.
"When Amir spoke, people quieted down, testifying to some charisma. On the other hand, his soft tone and unimpressive stature wouldn't have convinced anyone to buy even a popsicle from him".
************
Ma'ariv, December 12, 1995
During his "Identity Weekends," hundreds of people heard Amir express his radical thoughts, amongst which were his biblical justifications for the murder of Rabin.
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 24, 1995
Yigal Amir turned into an object of attention for the Shabak beginning six months ago when he started organizing study weekends in Kiryat Arba and they requested a report on him. Raviv prepared the report.
************
Ma'ariv, November 24, 1995
A carful of Bar-Ilan students were driving from Tel Aviv when they heard the announcement of Rabin's shooting on the radio. They played a game, each thinking of five people who might have done it. Yigal Amir was on all their lists.
How could the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] have missed Yigal Amir at the rally unless they did so on purpose? Yigal Amir did not keep his intentions to assassinate Rabin a secret. He told many hundreds of people gathered at his study weekends and seems to have told everyone within hearing distance at Bar-Ilan University.
Besides the question of Amir's most un-murderer-like desire to let the world know his plans, we must ask why the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] didn't apprehend him. Yes, they knew about him. The proof is indisputable. Two people, one within Eyal, the other a soldier in the Intelligence Brigade told them. Their own agent Avishai Raviv heard his threats, along with hundreds of other people at the study weekends and reported them to his superiors.
So why didn't they arrest him well before the rally, outside the rally or within the sterile zone? Because wittingly or not, Yigal Amir was working for the Shabak [Israel General Security Services].
Shabbat Shalom from Modi'in,

So why didn't they arrest him well before the rally, outside the rally or within the sterile zone? Because wittingly or not, Yigal Amir was working for the Shabak [Israel General Security Services].
Shabbat Shalom from Modi'in,

Israel's Betrayal of the Jews
After reading Germany's Betrayal of the Jews by Wolf Biermann, I felt blah, blah, blah. Didn't Hitler warn the European Jews? Didn't Jabotinsky warn the European Jews? The Jews today are in a position to determine their life or death, blessings or curses and needn't blame others for all their ills. There are problems and there are biblical solutions, as Meir Kahane courageously taught (Malachi 4:4).
What's a Jew still living in Germany for? Has he learned nothing from the Holocaust? Why not repent of the godless Communism (disproportionately Jewish, grieved to say) and become a religious Zionist and follow Judaism to the Jewish Homeland where Jews belong according to Moses and the Ramban?
As for "the 'stumbling blocks' [hand-sized brass plates set into the pavement in front of houses that are engraved with the name, date of birth and date of deportation of individuals who lived at the sites] that are mostly there to remember murdered Jews but there are a few for Sinti and Roma, communists, social-democrats and homosexuals," perpetuates the big lie the liberals preach that portrays homosexuals as "victims" when The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party proves otherwise. I heard co-author Kevin Abrams lecture about it in Jerusalem sponsored by the Root and Branch Association.
Israel's betrayal of the Jews would be a more appropriate speech for Wolf Biermann or some other brave soul. Where else but in Israel could thousands of Jews be forcibly removed from their homes and their property and businesses looted by Nazi-Muslims with covert world approval? Where else but in Israel could Jewish holy sites be utterly vandalized, destroyed and occupied by Nazi-Muslims like Joseph's Tomb? Where else but in Israel would Jews be violently forbidden to pray or read the Bible at a holy site, even Judaism's most holy site - the Temple Mount - with successive governments rewarding terrorist threats and punishing innocent Jews against both secular and religious law? Why the woeful neglect and abominable apathy of Jews and Israelis that enables such deplorable conditions to continue?
Meir Kahane, rabbi and former Israeli parliament member, used to say instead of decrying what the Gentiles didn't do to save the Jews, we should focus on what THE JEWS didn't do to save themselves! He highlighted the miserable failure of the American Jews especially. Ah, but it's easier to blame others, isn't it?
When will the Israelis clean house? Israelis voted for the defeatist Kadima - the same Kadima that didn't let them win the war in Lebanon. The same accursed Kadima that threatens to expel more Jews and continues to reward terrorism and pretends Israel has "peace partners" and that one group of terrorists is more "moderate" than the other when both despise Israel and seek its destruction and their murderous hatred is documented!
When will Israelis reopen the Rabin murder file and expose what is increasingly apparent to many: the Israeli oligarchy, undoubtedly under German-Jesuit orders, ordered the Shabak hit on Yitzhak Rabin? It's a known fact that Yigal Amir worked for Shabak, that Avishai Raviv, "Champagne," was a government agent provocateur and that Yitzhak Rabin entered his limousine unharmed.... Truly, Shimon Peres came to power over Rabin's dead body.
Yes, let Jews and Israelis examine Israel's betrayal of the Jews before it's too late and Jerusalem suffers under EU occupation.

More Than 50,000 Expected to Visit Rachel´s Tomb
More Than 50,000 Expected to Visit Rachel´s Tomb
19:17 Oct 31, '06 / 9 Cheshvan 5767
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
More than 50,000 people are expected to visit the tomb of Rachel in Bethlehem this Thursday, the anniversary of the Biblical matriarch's death.
Security in the area from Jerusalem to the tomb, recently transferred from the IDF's jurisdiction to that of the police, will be increased to ensure the safety of the worshipers. The fortified security arrangements will be put into effect beginning Wednesday afternoon and will last through Thursday night. In the past, Palestinian Authority terrorists have fired at Jews visiting the religiously and historically significant site.
In addition, the increased police presence will oversee and maintain the flow of traffic to and from Rachel's tomb. The Egged public transportation company will provide buses running every few minutes from various Jerusalem neighborhoods to the Bethlehem site.
With the transfer of responsibility for the tomb and its immediate environs from the military to the Jerusalem civilian authorities in September, Mayor Uri Lupolianski directed the municipality to provide services there. To that end, the capital's sanitation service has prepared the tomb complex for the expected wave of visitors this week and has also begun expanding services to the site on a regular basis.
Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Uri Maklev has arranged for a large visitors tent to be set up at an intersection on the way to Rachel's tomb, along with a supply of drinking water. At the tomb site itself, drinks and snacks will be provided, as well.
In honor of the anniversary of the passing of the matriarch Rachel, the city of Jerusalem is this week hosting dozens of lectures and activities geared towards women. The events are sponsored by the Torah Culture Department of the municipality.
The Biblical Rachel died on the 11th of Cheshvan of the year 2208 in the Jewish calendar (1553 BCE) while giving birth to her second son, Benjamin. Rachel's tomb, in Bethlehem, has served as a place of prayer for Jews for more than 35 centuries.
*********************************
Leah is the mother of Judah
I'm grateful that the Jews (children of LEAH) have preserved Kever Rachel since most descendants of Joseph (and Benjamin) - Rachel's sons - remain oblivious to their Israelite origins and also suffer identity theft by Indian converts to Judaism. The Anglo-Saxons are Joes who are prophesied to reconcile and reunite with Judah.

Reopen Rabin assassination file!
"Zion shall be redeemed with justice" (Isaiah)
The Israeli prosecutor of the ALLEGED assassin of Yitzhak Rabin has now publicly expressed doubt and asked questions, raising concerns the real killers still walk free and Shimon Peres got away with murder.
New evidence further PROVES Yigal Amir did not kill Yitzhak Rabin. It's past time Israelis demand: REOPEN THE RABIN FILE. And now with the release of the Kempler video of Yitzhak Rabin's staged assassination, many are doing just that!

Prince William for King!

'King' Charles, the defender of faiths
26/10/06
...He has told courtiers that he wants a separate service involving Muslims, Jews and Buddhists to show he represents people of all religions...
****************************************
God forbid Charles ever becomes king as his murderous and adulterous affair with that rottweiler appears to render him unfit to reign from the throne of King David over British-Israel.
Let Prince William become king and may the scion of David remember his Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities and act accordingly.

Brit-Am is an agenda-driven cultish propaganda organization which

Since you're associated with them, I have no interest in corresponding
with you further. I RELY ON FACTS, EVERYTHING I STATE IS THE TRUTH.
The Khazars were ORIGINALLY TURKIC - ALL the sources say so.
They mixed later with some Hebrews, but that wasn't their main lineage!
And some other contentions of Brit-Am are also false: Khazars aren't
Agathyrsoi, and Picts aren't Agathyrsoi, and Celts and Brits aren't
Israelites, USA isn't Menashe. Yair Davidy is no historian.
Don't waste my time with any further religiously-inspired false
interpretations of history.
And as you are a Christian you have no business going by a Hebrew name
unless you have Israelite ancestry, nor do you have any business trying
to establish a Jewish Third Temple on Jews' behalf.
And there's no need for a new Third Temple anyway except in the minds of
extremist wackos who think ritually slaughtering animals accomplishes
something.

David, I did not give you permission to copy my private email to a public forum. This shows your lack of understanding of copyright law. The email I sent you had a valid copyright notice:

The Christian cult of British Israelitism, founded in the 19th century, is not based on truth, but on biased biblically-inspired interpretations. Brit-Am has the preconceived notion that Western Europeans are Israelites and then tries simplistically to tailor information and names to suit that idea. Whereas by contrast I have no preconceived notion and am open to real facts from objective sources (read: real historians - the type you and Davidy casually ignore).
It is very telling that Brit-Am's Yair Davidy uses defamation tactics to attack Dunlop, Koestler, Artamonov, myself, and other historians of the Khazars, without actually addressing the points we raised. His method is to selectively present his point of view and not presenting the actual facts presented by these authors. For instance I didn't see any time when Davidy quoted the several medieval documents that call Khazars TURKS. Why is he afraid? Because it defeats his theory?
Many medieval writers attested to the Khazars' Turkic origins including Theophanes, al-Masudi, Rabbi Yehudah ben Barzillai, Martinus Oppaviensis, and the anonymous authors of the Georgian Chronicle and Chinese chronicle T'ang-shu. The Arabic writer al-Masudi in Kitab at-Tanbih wrote: "...the Khazars... are a tribe of the Turks." (cited in Peter Golden, Khazar Studies, pp. 57-58). T'ang-shu reads: "K'o-sa [Khazars]... belong to the stock of the Turks." (cited in Peter Golden, Khazar Studies, p. 58). In his Chronographia, Theophanes wrote: "During his [Byzantine emperor Heraclius] stay there [in Lazica], he invited the eastern Turks, who are called Chazars, to become his allies." (cited in Theophanes, The Chronicle of Theophanes Confessor, translated by Cyril Mango and Roger Scott, 1997, p. 446).
Yes, Khazars mixed with Israelite immigrants (who came to Khazaria AFTER Khazars already existed as a group), but that doesn't mean Khazars were predominantly or exclusively Israelite.
It's one thing to say that some Western Europeans have a small amount of Israelite ancestry. It's quite another to suggest that their principal origins are in Israel. I believe the former is true, but the latter is definitely false. When people speak about part of Spain's Christian population descending partly from Sephardim who were forced to become Catholics, it's true. But Celtic Welsh people, Germanic Frisian & English people, etc. can't be shown to have any
connection to Israelites whatsoever. Nor American Indians (the Mormons' pet theory).
By the way, please prove that Yair Davidy has recent Jewish ancestry! And that the Bible is a pure work of history! And even that Jesus existed!
