1. Need for Support and Feedback etc
Brit-Am receives help from many people in many ways. Betty Rhodes
set up the web-site in its present format and single-handed did all the initial work.
Nowadays Betty concentrates on the Genealogical Section
http://britam.org/genealogy/genealogy.html
and the Main Page of our major site
http://www.britam.org/
while Yair Davidiy mainly looks after contents on the rest of that site.
The site is very big and a lot of the articles could be improved upon..
We just noticed that our new article
"The Angel of Israel  and Joseph:  Is it MICHAEL?"
http://britam.org/Daniel/Michael.html
was not reacting. Others must have noticed this previously.
[The article is worth looking at and we have just added more information
of interest to it].
If you come across such phenomena please let us know.
Concerning ANYTHING that appears not to be correct or you think should and could be improved,
please inform us.
Your remarks may not be immediately acted upon but they will always be appreciated
and in most cases somewhere along the line will influence us.
We are here to get the message out and serve you.
Contact us. Let us know about whatever concerns you.
Also support us in whatever way you can including through offerings etc.
Lately the outreach of Brit-Am has increased greatly.
Through our web-sites and our e-mail lists and taking allowance for the many
who are both on our list and also frequently surf our site
the Brit-Am message at a very conservative estimate reaches AN AVERAGE  of more than
3000 people EACH DAY. This is speaking of "quality" people of good nature
and sound disposition who are usually both well-informed and intelligent.
Most of them spend quite a lot of time digesting the Brit-Am message.
The message is reaching more and going deeper.
Offerings and book orders etc have also increased but not at all in proportion.
It is only thanks to a few individuals
that we are being enabled to go ahead and reach outwards in other ways continuing this work.
Every month we rely on hidden miracles which do happen but you could also help them do so.
Nothing  is certain and we need your help just as much as we need that of others.
Everything helps and nearly everything goes a long way.
Help Brit-Am however you can since Brit-Am exists to serve you.

2. Michael the Guardian Angel of Joseph?
http://britam.org/Daniel/Michael.html

Michael: Guardian-Angel
of Israel and Joseph?
Did Moses Know?
What is the Guardian Angle?
Can it be Evil?
Is Michael Especially attached to Joseph?
Why the Other Tribes have a tendency to be against both Joseph and Judah in our days
The Struggle between Israel and Esau

Interim Conclusion:
We see that Judah is ruled over more directly by the Almighty when Judah does the will of the Almighty. If however Judah does not go in the right path they are in danger of being delivered over to the Angles of the non-Israelite Peoples.
Judah is thus more vulnerable.

Joseph is dominated more by the Angel-Prince Michael who is powerful in heaven and also allows more leeway.

The other Tribes of Israel (of the Ten Tribes) are in an intermediate position and can sway towards Judah or Joseph or towards the Angels of the non-Israelite nations which in practical terms means to be dominated by the national ethos and values of others.

The Angels of the non-Israelite nations are basically against both Joseph and Judah BUT in principle they are also responsible for the welfare of their charges. If the good of peoples they are appointed over can only be served by an accomodation with Joseph and Judah then the Angels of these peoples will seek to make such an accomodation.

Just as we are influenced by heavenly forces above us so too can we influence those forces.
By our deeds, thoughts, and intentions we can give power to our own national "angel" and thus serve our own peoples as well as ourselves.

Note  this whole field of "angels" etc is leading us into esoteric matters of a theological nature
which is not what we want to deal with. The Diversion was necessary, valuable, and of interest
but we hope not to make a habit of it.

4. Steven Collins: More on Issachar and Finland
From: Steve Collins <scollins@ll.net>
Subject: Re: "Brit-Am Now"-691
Shalom Yair,

I would like to make a short comment on the Israelite ancestry of the Finnish people. I agree with Yair's linkage of the Finns with the tribe of Issachar. One additional point further strengthens the link between Issachar and Finland.

Genesis 49:14-15 prophesies that Issachar, in the latter days, would be a nation which was "couched down between two burdens," and in a position of being under "tribute" to more powerful nations. The Finns fulfill this prophecy very well. They have been between "two burdens" (two stronger nations) for centuries. They have been in a buffer zone first between Sweden and Russia, then between Germany and Russia and, during the Cold War, between the Eastern Bloc and NATO. The situation of being caught between two more powerful nations or alliances is so closely linked to Finland in the modern world that being caught in a buffer zone between two greater powers is often called "Finlandization."  Genesis 49 is a key prophecy as it gives specific traits or characteristics of each tribe's situation or condition in the latter days of this age. God has surely guided historical migrations and developments so each tribe now fulfills the prophesied situation for each tribe.

These aspects of Finnish history are examined in considerable detail in my most recent book, Israel's Tribes Today.

Steve Collins

Brit-Am Note: The Israelite and Tribe of Issachar (along with elements from Gad and Simeon)
identity of Finland is also discussed in some detail in our work "The Tribes"
which includes original and exclusive information of value and great relevance to this subject.
