1. R.J. Thomas: Personal Background
Subject: Re: Brit-Am Now"-453

Hello Yair,
Thank you for continuing with the Psalms. I look forward to reading them.

The section you sent us on "Were the Melungeons Jewish?"  struck a cord with
me. As you know, it was my interest in genealogy that led me to your site.
And I know it can be boring to others, so, I will make this brief. But, what
this article says goes along with my personal discoveries. As I have
mentioned before, I have discovered that my family descends from  Judah from
my Father and through my maternal grandmother the tribe of Benjamin and they
were both from Tennessee, and it was mentioned that Tennessee was ..."always
regarded as the Jewish Homeland of America". I also, discovered that my
maternal grandfather descends for Judah, his family came from Northern
Scotland and of course was part of a Scottish Clan and they are still
extremely "clannish", he was from Mississippi. I have had a harder time with
my grandmother who was "Black Irish" and very recently discovered that her
grandmother was a Huguenot. I have been trying to discover more about the
Huguenot's, all I have found is that they were from France, Protestants
persecuted by the Catholic church in the 1600's, escaping into England. My
Huguenot family settled in Nottingham, England and came to the Carolinas in
the late 1700's. They, like most of my family are scattered throughout the
south and Texas. Anyway, I am sure there are many, more Americans with
similar backgrounds, that may confirm a lot of those claims. They are
probably not aware of who they are, or who their ancestors were.

God Bless you!!
Ruth

Answer:
Brit-Am exists to show that many people in the West today are descended from
Israel and to work for reconciliation between Judah and Israel.
We encourage people to identify as Israelites but more than that we
encourage them to identify
the nation to which they belong as an Israelite entity.
We emphasize the collective aspects.
You belong to a certain group: The majority of this group or a
determinative element within it
is of Israelite descent and has an Israelite destiny so too do you.This is
beyond the question of individual identity.
It is a question of emphasis.
We do not discourage people from identifying themselves as belonging to
specific tribes.
We provide geographical indications and (especially in our work "The
Tribes") tribal characteristics
that can help in identification. Our genealogical section that we have
recently began is also intended
to help ultimately refine the search for specific tribal identity.
We believe that certain Tribal identity will be part of the Messianic process
and for its affirmation depend on the Messiah or on
a body empowered by the Messiah.
Even so we have said several times that in our age we have said several
times that we
are entitled or even obligated to begin working towards this process.
We can be certain that the Lost Ten Tribes are in the west
and that Joseph is dominant amongst English-speaking people.
We can also be certain that this knowledge should be part of our outlook
and involves our destiny. Beyond that each individual should make their own
progress according to their inner recognition.
We want to emphasize the collectivity of Israel, of being part of whole,
that by doing the right thing
you not only help yourself but also the whole of Israel of which you are part.

3. Winston Churchill on Heredity
"What a strange thing heredity is. We are really only variants of what has
gone before"
Winston Churchill in a letter to his wife.

4. The Gates of their Enemies.
In the Bible Abraham Isaac and Jacob are promised that their seed will be
extremely numerous,
be blessed, and possess the gate of its enemies meaning the major strategic
points (Genesis 22:16-17 24:60)
and that through their seed all the peoples of the earth will be blessed
(Genesis 12:2 18:18 22:18)
This principle is repeated and emphasized.
It was an unconditional promise that had to be fulfilled (Genesis 22:16).
This is how the Bible begins to divulge the Divine Intention regarding  the
chosen people.
Later more blessings are given promising military might, wheat, cattle,
agricultural prosperity, mineral resources
and individual tribal promises (Genesis chapters 48 and 49).. These later
blessings may be considered
as expansions on the previous ones.
The bottom line is that through Western Peoples especially Britain and the
USA all the peoples of the earth have been blessed. They have been and
taken as a  whole still are the most powerful and most blessed group of peoples
that has ever existed. The possession of strategic international "gates"
was a major feature
of the British Empire and TODAY is a feature of the USA that consistently
works to establish its presence
in strategic points all over the world and  succeeds in this.
We have posted some very good articles (by others) in the past detailing
this phenomenon from the point of view
of foreigners and antagonistic observers  who have proved this point much
more thoroughly than we could have done.
No other entity does this and only the British and Americans have made this
a cornerstone of their foreign and military policies and an  expression of
their very being.
Our work, "Biblical Truth" discusses this and other factors in a highly
readable and enjoyable format.

5. Brit-Am Wants to spread the message
At the moment Brit-Am is pushing to meet its minimum obligations BUT if we
can we hope this year to place the following advertisement (or a variation
of it) in every English-speaking paper and magazine published in Israel
and ultimately also in Hebrew language publications as well as in
venues outside of Israel.
Please send offerings to help us in this and similar endeavors.

Subject: DID YOU KNOW?

The "Suggested Advertisement" may be modified as you see fit. Please send
it out wherever you can
and if you can publish it in whatever avenue that is available. This is
what you can do and it is perhaps just as important as anything else.

DID YOU KNOW THAT:
According to the Bible ten out of the twelve tribes of Israel split away
(2-Kings 12:19),
formed their own kingdom of  "Israel" (2-Kings 12:20) and were exiled by
the Assyrians (2-Kings 17:18).
They forget their identity (Hosea 1:9 7:8 Isaiah 49:21) and became the Lost
Ten Tribes. In the future they will re-unite with the Jews (Ezekiel 37,
Isaiah 11:13 Jeremiah 3:18) of "Judah" but until then they have a role of
their own to fulfill. They were destined to be situated at the  continental
extremities of the earth such as North America, the British Isles,
Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa
(Deuteronomy 33:13 Isaiah 24:16  26:15 41:8-9 49:6), to be the richest
(Genesis 27:28  49:25 Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8), and most powerful
(Numbers 24:8-7 Micah 5:7-9) nations on earth and to control major
international strategic bases (Genesis 22:16-17 24:60). All of these points
together with numerous others show that descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes
can only be found amongst Western Nations especially the English-speaking
ones. The correctness of our interpretation of the relevant verses is
confirmed by traditional Jewish sources and by the findings of up-to-date
historical and scientific research. Your destiny and that of your people
may depend upon this information. You need to know.
