“If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land.”
Have you notice that so much of scripture is prefaced with the word, “if”. So Hashem is inviting us, if we are willing, to be obedient and share the consequences; the bounties of the land. This is not just a land, but the “Land of Israel”. Are we willing to be so daring to believe and to live out that belief in every aspect of our lives? Are we even willing to conceive that the G-d of Israel is the Sovereign G-d of the Universe, and He wants the best in life for you and your family in your future life?
That’s correct! The prophet Isaiah is offering such an invitation to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel ‘if’ we only have the courage to obey the commandments of G-d, not just the 10 Commands from the mount of Sinai but all the 613 commandment he gave to our ancestors; the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
To each of us Israelites, He wants to give us the best. He does not want us to keep us a life living as though we are defeated and depressed. We are beginning to see the world around coming into stark clarity; imploding and fading away. Let us admit it, the future of our lives looks quite grim as though we are going to be “left behind”. The worse the world conditions continue to be, the best that the G-d of Israel has, He has already offered to us. We are in that epic era called the “time of the end.”
The prophets clearly did not see any prophetic imagery of having any of G-d’s chosen children, the “Lost Israelites” being left behind. The prophets kept appealing to the Jews and the Israelites; G-d is not going to transport you to another planet. He will instead recreate a new Gan Eden here on earth for all Jews and Lost Israelites; Paradise Lost, Paradise Restored.
Yet, there is a stipulation; we must be willing to obey. We must be willing to follow His Torah, and if we do, He will restore to our lives the blueprint matrix of the original Adam. Only Hashem comprehends how to bring all of these prophetic and apocalyptic trends about in such a way as to bring our reclamation, restoration, and redemption to the lands of our forefathers.
Ezekiel 36:22-23, 24-28 (parts); 33-38; - “Therefore, tell the house of Isra’el that Adonai Elohim (L-rd G-d) says this:I am not going to do this for your sake, house of Isra’el, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have been profaning among the nations where you went. I will set apart my great name to be regarded as holy, since it has been profaned in the nations – you profaned it among them. They will know that I am Adonai,’ says Adonai Elohim, ‘when, before their eyes, I am set apart through youto beregarded as holy.
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all countries, andreturn you to your own soil. Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you…I will cleanse you from your uncleanliness…I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside your…You will live in the land I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your G-d…
When the day comes for me to cleanse you from all your guilt, I will cause cities to be inhabited and the ruins to be rebuilt. The land that was desolate will be tilled, whereas formerly it lay desolate for all passing by to see. They will say, ‘theland that used to be desolate has become like Gans Eden (Garden of Eden)…Then the nations around that remain will know that I, Adonai, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted what was abandoned. I, Adonai, have spoke; and I will do it!”
Even so, you protect, the rabbis of Israel won’t accept us there, since you are not Jewish for your mother is not Jewish, because “to be a Jew your mother must be a Jew. Have you even considered that soon you might want to be converted in order to be identified as one of the family of Judah?
But you protest, how can I? My husband is a non-believer, my wife refuses to leave her family behind, my church no longer believes that the Jews are G-d’s chosen people, or my children who have our grandchildren are too scared to believe that we have such a destiny. Even so, the rabbis won’t accept us there, since we are not converted Jews, and our mother is not Jewish, because “to be a Jew your mother must be a Jew.
No matter what your life has been going through, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob wants to turn it around and like Job, restore everything that you once had and even more, to give to you in the future in greater abundance. He wants you to have your entire family, your marriage, and restore to your life the peace and joy beyond anything you have enjoyed in the past.
More than that, Hashem wants to restore you and your family’s relationship with Him.”
Ezekiel 36:28 – “You will live in the land I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your G-d…”
Ezekiel 36:36 – “I, Adonai, have spoke; and I will do it!”
G-d wants to give you a bountiful life in an earth restored like the Garden of Eden. This is a life where you may live as long as the lives of Methuselah, Noah, and Shem if you follow the blue-print. Do you dare to believe and to keep G-d’s blueprint called the Torah?

There are no words in the Bible that stand out in such stark contrasts as the facts that the mountains of Israel in Shomron and Judea are strategically a part of the prophetic drama that will envelop the Land of Israel at the time of the end. One of the great themes is the return of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel back to their homeland in Samaria, Galilee, Lebanon, Basham, and Gilead.
That is why it is important to understand more about Rabbinic Judaism and its Biblical Mandate to preserve the Mountains of Israel in Shomron for the return of the Lost Tribes of Israel. If this is your quest, Contact “Kol Ha Tor”, the Voice of the Turtledove.
Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Mission to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This super Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.

The Jewish festival of Hanukkah (Chanukah), though not one of the Torah prescribed festivals given to the Israelites on the mount called Sinai, is still one of the Jewish major festivals that is brimming full of insights and typologies that are surrounding our lives as the year of 2012 arrives. With all of its potential catastrophes and economic calamities, plus a major world war that will involve the United States plus Russia and China, it appears that 2012 will be a year that will be filled with biblical apocalypse. Let us look at this festival and see what relevance we can historically glean from it to comprehend the “tribulations” we are facing today.
Tribulations? You ask. You are right to ask for the populations of peoples that live upon the entire earth have sunk into a deep amnesia. They have been anesthetized by a make-believe world that our purpose of life is to “make money to worship a ‘golden calf’” or “to make money to bring pleasure to one’s self”. This is a world dedicated to pampering ourselves, to glorify our ideologies and our concepts of life.
This is the essence of hellenization, the apex of the Grecian world and the Olympics we glorify today, which grew out of that culture. This was the apex of the process of democracy which Greece gave our world, and a scholastic thought system of “rationalism” that toppled the Roman world culture of “totalitarianism”.
When the brute power of Rome toppled the Grecian world, they made one mistake. The Roman rulers took all of the Greek scholars and teachers, and brought them to Rome to teach their Roman elite the ways of Grecian culture. The culture of Grecian Hellenism then took a blanket and smothered the ancient Roman pre-imperial culture with the Hellenistic culture of Greece.
If Hellenization is a process, then in a spectrum there must have been a culture that was purely Grecian, with its culture, its religion, its sports and games, irreverent dancing, hedonistic lifestyle and all that was wrapped up into a culture of “self glorification”. Let us begin to assemble some common threads to that ancient world 2,200 years ago, where the clash of Grecian Hellenization met the stubborn yet righteous Jews who lived by strict rules of a theocratic culture who claimed that:
Hebrew Judaic Culture - “There is a G-d in heaven who created the universe. He gave to a “Chosen Family” during a cataclysmic volcanic explosion at a mount called Sinai, a blueprint of life called the “Torah”.
Within these teachings and imposing strict rules called “commandments” or “mitzvos”, it clearly alluded that if they followed these mitzvos, they could change their sinful genetic composition of their own bodies that had degraded to the 49th degree of Tuma (degradation or contamination). By literally following the blueprint, they could physically restore themselves back to the era when their ancestral parents, Adam and Eve, lived in peace and harmony with the natural world.
There in Gan Eden these two archetypical ancestral parents were created in the World of Formation, perfect as efflugent beings radiating with the “Glory of G-d”. In the future era of the Messiah, Gan Eden will be restored and humans may once again be restored to their former state as ‘radiant’ sons and daughter of G-d.
Here was an era when “Adam” or “red man” could personally “walk and talk with G-d”. He could literally observe the process of the Divine interacting with the rest of the universe, using the created forces called “angels” who were created in the “World of the Spirit Beings”, that controlled all the forces of the universe. This included creating and destroying stars and planets and creating life on planets all over the universe."
This is only a world where today we can conceptualize, but we have no concept of how it worked or functioned. Except for hints given to us in the Torah, where the patriarchal forefathers of the Jews from the House of Judah and the “Lost Israelites” from the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel lived and interacted with divine beings who physically manifested themselves with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we would be “lost” in how to comprehend spiritual truths as written in the Writings and the Prophets, the Hebrew scriptures called the TaNaKh.
So we find that Hellenization is the opposite extreme of the cultural process given as a “blueprint” in the commandments given by G-d called the Torah. These commands were given to a tainted and oppressed peoples stuck living in degradation under Egyptian imperial slavery. Yet by believing and living a life of Torah observance in each of its precepts, the Hebrew people were given the promise that their lives could be reclaimed and redeemed. They would no longer be irrevocably lost peoples from their physical or mental slavery. They could once again become “holy children of G-d” in covenant with their Creator; if only they followed the commands of G-d.
It was to be their future, that they would become “holy priests representing the G-d of Israel”. They would become a “beacon of light to the 70 gentile nations” on planet earth. They would teach the rest of the gentile people that there was “God of Israel who was the Creator and Redeemer of the Universe”. They would be destined to teach the rest of the gentile nations how to worship the G-d of Life and Creation of the universe, as opposed to a future, where humans only idolized themselves and in their eyes would seek to become as gods, with a little “g”.
This act of defiling the Temple of Zerubabbel in Jerusalem by a Syrian king who was intent on Hellenizing the entire world as they knew it, would later be called the “Abomination of Desolation”. It was a purposeful event of a Greek totalitarian tyrant called Antiochus Epiphanes IV. It was this master of Hellenization who determined to break the backs of the resistant and “stiff-necked Jew” in Jerusalem by desecrating that one lone House of Worship where the G-d of Israel claimed to “rest His feet” on the “footstool” of His only Temple.
So the story of Chanukah began with Alexander the Great, who with the speed of lighting, took his military and conquered the then-known world. Then at the height of his power, it appears that Alexander the Great was assassinated while resting in the palace of King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon, probably by “poison”.
Alexander’s kingdom in the making collapsed and broke up into four “horn powers”. Its legacy left behind was a culture called Hellenization, the adoration of the “self”, the pampering of the emotions, the glorification of rationalization, and the destruction of any thought cultures or “belief system” that stood in its way. It became the epitome of a self-centered lifestyle that gave us the words called; selfishness, self-seeking, the me-generation, that by seeking the joy of pandering only one’s self, one could achieve happiness through self-actualization or self-fulfillment.
This was the ideology and idolatry of the Grecian Hellenistic culture that in the year of 167 BCE slammed into the resistance of the stubborn “stiff-necked” Jewish culture called Judaism. Here was a tribe of people that believed that there was a G-d who was so awesome, powerful and perfect, that they dare not even speak his Name. So today, instead, they called Him HaShem, meaning “The Name”.
They built a second temple called the Zerubabbel Temple, and through strict rules imposed upon them, they sought to rectify the wrongs that they had done that created the cultural process that destroyed their cultural apex of glory, when Kings David and Solomon’s United Temple ruled the then known world.
Yet, because, they defied the G-d of Israel and refused to obey his 613 commandments given to them, their capital city, Jerusalem was destroyed, and their forefathers were sent into captivity into Babylon. Babylon, their new task-masters, was a cultural mecca reminiscent of the more ancient “Nimrod Culture” that gave our world the Tower of Babel, a “One World Order” that demanded that all man think alike, do alike, talk one world language, and pay obeisance to one world leader who ruled through “power, greed, and control” ruled the whole earth.
A citizen of Nimrod’s world was the Sumerian son of an oracular high priest, called Abraham. It was Abraham’s quest to find the G-d of Creation. He then spent his life teaching all those who crossed his path about the G-d of life who saved him from the fiery furnace, redeemed him as a babe, and sent him to be taught in the ways of truth at the feet of his ninth and tenth-great grandfathers, Noah and Shem.
As his later descendants would become the Hebrew Jewish people, they conceptualized a different world; one in which would glorify their G-d rather than glorify themselves. They became the first peoples, who on their own learned how to become of “service to others” rather than “service to self”.
Through their ancient cleric called Ezra the Scribe, the exiled Jews were redeemed back to the Land of Israel, called “aliyah” and rebuilt their temple. Even though it was a mere image of their reminiscence of the glory of King Solomon’s Temple, it was still purified and made holy unto the L-rd. They restarted again their Hebrew Jewish culture in the land of Israel and called it Judaism. They refused to worship man and its hedonistic culture of human self-glory, and instead worship only the Creator G-d of the Universe.
The year was 167 BCE when the Abomination of Desolation occurred. It was on that day celebrated as Chanukah or Hanukkah that Grecian Hellenism confronted Jewish Judaism “eyeball to eyeball”. The Emperor Antiochus Epiphanes IV effectively sought to absorb this new renewed Jewish cultural lifestyle, capture and take possession of its temple treasures, and then sought to destroy its temple by desecrating its spiritual sacredness by sacrificing a pig, a symbol of the gluttony scavenging culture of Grecian Hellenism. The “Culture of worshipping Self Righteousness” confronted the face of the “Culture to worshipping a Righteous G-d”. The Temple of Zerubabbel of the Jews was desecrated and defiled.
The story then turns to the uprising of the faithful family of priest, turned warriors for G-d, drove out the military forces of the largest empire of that era, cleansed the sanctuary, and prepared restart their offering to the G-d with a national celebration. When the day began, they discovered that they had only one small bottle of oil for the menorah light – good for only one day, but it lasted a full eight days, and thus the celebrations of eight days of Chanukah, the “Festival of the Lights” for the next 2,275 years.
Though it was through the bravery of a priestly family called the Maccabees that in their fierce determination, they drove the Greeks out of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. The culture of “Hashem” won but the seductive process of Hellenizing Judaism began to eat again upon the culture of Judaism until the Jewish people again lost their identity.
The Maccabee priests, whose assigned job was to be “priests unto Israel”, now became the Jews revered “idols” as rulers of Judah. They usurped the throne of King David, who’s only rightful descendant to sit upon the throne was a descendant of the royal house of Kings David and Solomon. Later, the former Maccabee priests, who now became the Hasmonean kings of Judah, then sought to usurp the throne of the High Priest of Israel, whose only rightful descendant to rule in the Temple of the G-d of Israel, were the descendants of the Zadok the High Priest of King David and Solomon.
Through the process of power, greed and control, those who were righteous priests now became predators of power and self-glory. They fought amongst their brothers and cousins as to who was the best, seeking to usurp the royal throne by power and might rather than to be consecrated and crowned with the “Holy Oil” by the prophetic spokesmen of G-d.
They built Greek gymnasiums and stadiums in Jerusalem and began to Hellenize the Jews by emulating the culture of the Greeks and the Roman. Soon the entire Jewish culture was again caught up into glory to themselves instead of glory to the G-d of Israel. Within decades, the Jewish culture was almost fully absorbed and Torah Judaism became known as Hellenistic Judaism.
The Hasmonean kings and queens were then overpowered by a Jewish proselyte from Edom who became a convert to Judaism called King Herod the Great. He won the reluctant affirmation of the Jewish elite by remodeling their temple. The Temple Mount would once again host the most glorious temple in the world during the height of the Imperial Roman Empire.
Yet in the process the Jewish culture again sunk to the 49th degree of Tuma (where the 50th degree is complete contamination) until the entire Second Temple culture collapsed into depravity and self-destruction. The Edomite city of Rome empowered by spreading Grecian Hellenism to the rest of the world, then brought their warriors came to the last resisters of Greco-Roman cultural Hellenism and destroyed the largest and most glorious temple in the then known world down to bedrock. As Ask-why UK so aptly described:
Ask-why UK – “If Hellenization is a process, it must have at one extreme the purely Greek culture, religion and all. At the other extreme was a stubborn adherence to the rules imposed by Ezra. Palestinian Jews, “the Hebrews”, had reason for concern when they saw their temple taken over by “the Greeks”— Hellenized Jews.
It was only a question of time before Yehouah became Zeus, and surely that is the point about the “Abomination of Desolation”. It is simplistic to say that “Jews were unique and did not lose their identity”. The early success of Christianity was precisely because it appealed to those Hellenized Jews that were crossing the boundary from Judaism.”
The story then turns to the uprising of the faithful family of priest, turned warriors for G-d, drove out the military forces of the largest empire of that era, cleansed the sanctuary, and prepared restart their offering to the G-d with a national celebration. When the day began, they discovered that they had only one small bottle of oil for the menorah light – good for only one day, but it lasted a full eight days, and thus the celebrations of eight days of Chanukah, the “Festival of the Lights” for the next 2,275 years.
Today, the Jews of the House of Judah and the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel in America and Europe are standing in an epochal era of history. Tyranny is again being met face to face. The mountains of Israel upon which the forces of resistance by the Maccabees fought against tyranny and oppression, are now again a battlefield claimed by a culture of darkness and death. The new Maccabees are the Jewish Settler Patriots in Shomron and Judea.
It’s time that we accept that the bravest people on Planet Earth today are the pioneering settlers in Shomron and Judea. With unflinching courage, they continue to carve out home sites in which to raise their children in pristine solitude, alone with their Creator. This courage has been unmatched since the “wild west days” in America’s mid-19th century as America settlers of the Lost Tribes of Israel moved west across Indian territories to create homes in the wilderness of America. The 19th century settlers of the Lost Tribes of Israel in America had a dream. Today the 21st century settlers of Israel have a mandate and a destiny.

With the 8th day of Chanukah now becoming history, it is the opinion of Destination Yisra’el that Chanukah will be a central feature of the future reunification of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, and the Jews of the House of Judah (Ezekiel 37). To understand more about the Rabbinic Judaism and its Biblical Mandate to preserve the Mountains of Israel in Shomron for the return of the Lost Tribes of Israel, Contact “Kol Ha Tor”, the Voice of the Turtledove.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, from Israel Hayom – “The legacy of Hanukkah – faith, patriotism, defiance of extreme odds and tenacity in the battle of liberty against tyranny – has underlined the American spirit since the early pilgrims, enhancing the unique foundation of the U.S.-Israel covenant: shared values.
For instance, the statue of Judah the Maccabee, the hero of the Jewish rebellion against the Syrian-Seleucid Empire, is displayed at the West Point Military Academy, the most prestigious U.S. military academy, founded in 1802. The statue of Judah the Maccabee, known for his principle-driven leadership and daring battle tactics, is displayed along with the statues of Joshua, David, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Hector, King Arthur, Charlemagne and Godfrey of Bouillon – “the Nine Worthies.”
George Washington became acquainted with the spirit of the Maccabees, upon settling, in December (Hanukkah) 1777, at his new headquarters at Valley Forge, Penn., with ill-equipped, weary troops. Faced with a superpower, George III of Britain, Washington concluded that only a dramatic change could avoid a defeat.
According to the diary entries of Louisa Hart, Washington told the Harts about a Jewish solider at Valley Forge who lit a Hanukkah candle and explained its significance. Washington’s reaction was: "Perhaps we are not as lost as our enemies would have us believe. I rejoice in the Maccabees' success, though it is long past ... It pleases me to think that miracles still happen." Six months later, on June 19, 1778, the Continental Army implemented the battle tactics of Judah the Maccabee, leaving Valley Forge in pursuit of the British, who were moving toward New York. Although the war would linger for five more years, Washington won a decisive victory.
Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were inspired by the Maccabees, proposing "Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God" as the American official seal. Just like the Founding Fathers, the Maccabees were a tiny minority of “rebels” - condemned by the "loyalist/pragmatist" Jewish establishment - rebelling against an oppressive superpower. They prevailed thanks to their conviction-driven determination. They knew that swimming against the stream gets one closer to the source. The Maccabees were a role model for Paul Revere, who was referred to as "a modern day Maccabee" and the organizers of the Boston Tea Party, who realized that there were no free lunches for freedom-seeking nations.
"In God We Trust" was inspired, also, by the Maccabees’ battle cry, which adopted Moses’ battle cry against the builders of the Golden Calf. A literal translation of the battle cry is “Whoever trusts God; join me!” The Maccabees' sacrifice and lack of political correctness also inspired Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death!"
In 2011, Hanukkah is still a living experience in the U.S. For example, the residents of Billings, Mont. celebrate Hanukkah in solidarity with the Jewish community of 40 families, and in protest of the 1993 vandals who broke the windows of Jewish homes that displayed Hanukkah menorahs. In response, more than 10,000 of the city’s residents put makeshift menorahs in their own windows. They persist, annually, in this ritual.
Hanukkah and the Maccabees have become an integral part of the American way of life, culturally and politically. Americans respect the legacy of the Maccabees, who fought the Syrian-Seleucid super-power, mostly, in the mountains of Judea and Samaria, in the Judean Desert and in Jerusalem. Judah the Maccabee’s own Valley Forge was at Beit El; his capital was Jerusalem; he scored dramatic victories in Beit Horon (over Seron), Hadashah (over Nicanor), Beit Zur (over Lysias) and Ma’aleh Levona (over Apolonius); he was defeated at Elazar and killed at Ba’al Hatzor – all are located beyond the “1967 Lines.”
The descendants of the Maccabees are not "occupiers" in the cradle of their own history. Hanukkah is not a holiday of "occupation," but a holiday of deliverance. Hanukkah is a holiday which highlights the moral high ground of Jews in their ancestral homeland.
Shimon the Maccabee - who succeeded Judah and Yonatan the Maccabees – articulated the Jewish territorial case when responding to an ultimatum by Antiochus, who demanded an end to the Jewish “occupation” of Jerusalem, Jaffa, Gaza, Gezer and Ekron: "We have not occupied a foreign land; we have not ruled a foreign land; we have liberated the land of our forefathers from foreign occupation," Shimon said.
Pressuring the Jewish state to withdraw from the mountain ridges of Judea and Samaria defies the American story. Either you are with George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and other defenders of liberty, or you provide – inadvertently – a tailwind to the forces of tyranny."
The Faithful Movement will carry with them the Maccabee Testament and declare it to the Nations who pressure Israel to give away her land given only to Israel by the Almighty G-d of Israel in an Eternal Covenant.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will perform a special event on the sixth day of Chanukah, Monday, 30th of Kislev 5772, on December 26, 2011. This event will start at Modi'in, the ancient city of the Maccabees, who in the year 157 BCE made the great revolt against the Greek Empire who occupied the Land of Israel and as in our present time had located their idol on the Holy Temple Mount and desecrated the Holy Jewish Temple and made the Holy Temple Mount and the Holy Temple a center of pagan worship.
The Maccabees, the Jewish high priest Mattiyahu who lived in ancient Modi'in (which is about 20 miles from Jerusalem) and his five sons started this revolt in order to liberate the Land of Israel, Jerusalem and predominantly to liberate the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem and to immediately stop the pagan worship, to purify the Holy Temple and renew the holy worship to the Almighty G-d of Israel. When the Greek Empire and the surrounding nations put pressure on the people of Israel telling them:
"You are trying to occupy a land that does not belong to you," the Maccabees answered: "We are not occupying a foreign land but rather the Holy Land that G-d gave only to His People Israel forever for a godly purpose in an eternal covenant thousands of years ago. This Holy Land of Israel was robbed from us by foreigners and now G-d is returning the Land to us through His miracles. No one in the world has any right to this Land except the People of G-d, Israel"
The Maccabees together with other Israelite forces who joined the revolt, commanded by the G-d of Israel who appeared and fought alongside the Maccabees in all the battles, defeated with only a minority of Maccabees the many majority forces that were sent by the Greek Empire to suppress the small Israelite force of fighters. The small Jewish force commanded by the G-D of Israel defeated the greatest empire of the time and the Hellenist nations who supported it. The Land of Israel and Jerusalem were liberated, the Holy Temple was purified and holy worship to the G-D of Israel was renewed.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is carrying today the same goal and message of the ancient Maccabees. The Temple Mount Faithful Movement is calling to all of the powers, nations and enemies of Israel who are putting pressure on Israel and want to eliminate the State of Israel and to establish a foreign "Palestinian State", that never existed in the Land of Israel or any other place in the world and will never exist and who want to make Jerusalem a Palestinian capital and continue the foreign pagan presence on the Holy Temple Mount:
“Take your hands off of the Holy Land of Israel, Jerusalem and the Holy Temple Mount given by G-D only to His People Israel in an eternal godly covenant forever for a godly purpose: ‘...to be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests and a light to the nations.'" (Exodus 19:5-6)
The goal of the Faithful Movement is to fulfill this covenant in our lifetime, to purify the Holy Temple Mount and to immediately build the Third Holy Temple as G-D is expecting us to do, so that Israel can fulfill her godly mission among all of the nations and to bring to pass the call of G-D to Israel in our lifetime:
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the 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. And many people shall go and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the G-d of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people: 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 anymore." Isaiah 2:2-4, Micah 4:1-4
During the Chanukah march from Modi'in to Biblical Jerusalem and to the Holy Temple Mount, the Temple Mount Faithful Movement will carry this Maccabee testimony and G-D's call to His People Israel at this very critical time in the history of Israel and even in the entire world to all the powers, nations and enemies who are putting pressure on Israel today with their goal to stop and to eliminate the greatest major godly end-time event ever of the rebirth of the Kingdom of the G-D and the People of Israel. This event will return the Shekina of G-D to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem in the Holy Temple on His Holy Mountain that will dispel the darkness that is covering more and more of mankind at this crucial time and will bring the eternal light of G-D to every corner of the earth.
The Chanukah march of the Faithful Movement will move from Modi'in on the same route that the ancient Maccabees traveled to Jerusalem. When we arrive to the Jaffa Gate of Biblical Jerusalem, we shall light the Chanukah menorah. From Jaffa Gate we shall march up to the Holy Temple Mount. We shall also march to the southern Hulda Gates of the Holy Temple Mount, which were the main entrances to the First and Second Holy Temples for Jewish pilgrims ascending from the City of David, where we shall light the Chanukah menorah and conduct for the first time since the destruction of the Holy Temple the special ceremony of the new month as our forefathers did on the wall of the Holy Temple Mount at precisely this same place.
We shall also demonstrate in front of the Holy Temple Mount calling the government of Israel to do what the Maccabees did in their generation: to purify the Holy Temple Mount and to immediately build the Holy Third Temple so that the call of G-D to our end-time generation through His prophets Isaiah and Micah can be fulfilled with no delay.
This will be a very special and exciting event that will again bring the biblical atmosphere into the life of Israel and the entire world. We shall gather ourselves between 8:30-9:00 am on December 26th, 2011 in the parking lot at 'Binyanei Ha'uma' (International Conference Center) that is located across from the Central Bus Station at the entrance to Jerusalem. From this location we shall ride buses to Modi'in and then back to the Old City of Jerusalem for the completion of the event.
Everyone in Israel and from the world is invited to participate in this special and exciting event!
IN G-D WE TRUST!!
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will continue intensively with our godly campaign to serve the G-D of Israel, to build His Holy House on Mount Moriah and to bring to pass in the lifetime of our generation all of His end-time vision and plans with all of our hearts and devotion together with our wonderful and devoted friends in Israel and all over the world.

On December 23, 2011, the capital of New Zealand at Christchurch rocked with a new series of earthquakes that registered a 5.8 magnitude quaked about 23 miles from Christchurch. Within minutes it was followed by aftershocks of 5.3, 6.0, and 5.0 magnitude that were reminiscent of the larger and more devastating 6.3 magnitude quake that occurred in February, 2011. First of the earthquake series that occurred in February, June, and now December of 2011, destroyed the rising Gothic Towers on the island’s landmark Christchurch Cathedral.
Is it coincidental that one of the havens of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, the English settlers from Britain may now become awakened to a new reality? The days of worshipping “Jesus Christ” as in the name of their capital has received its third warning from the finger of the Divine, with the warning, it’s time to return to your spiritual roots, your Hebrew-Judaic faith, and return “Jesus” to his original historical roots; a Prince of David, a Jewish Orthodox Hasidic Rabbi, who lived his life above and beyond the letter of the Hebrew Torah Law given to them at the mount called Sinai, and said to his disciples, “Follow Me!”.
What we now know from Jewish Orthodox scholarship is that the Anglo-Saxon tribal invasion of England in the 4th century to the Isle of Britannia was one of many tribal battles between the various tribes of the Lost Tribes of Ten Israel. That the Cymrics of Western Britain were there first as the tribes of Dan and Simeon is recognized in history. They were later followed by the Celtic Cimmerian (Ghomerian as the children of King Omer the father of King Ahab).
It was they who wandered from the lands of their exile in Media, across the Bosporus Straits below the Black Sea and entered European Gaul as the Celtic peoples. Yet the Island of Britannia would later be Anglicized by the Anglo-Saxons, and gave the ancient British (“people of the covenant”) a new name, England, when they left their German settlements in Northern Germany (Region of Saxony) and then invaded the British Isles and Scotland.
Yair Davidiy – “The Vandals who accompanied the Goths and were associate with them were to make temporary conquest in Gaul, Spain and North Africa though the majority of them seem to have accompanied the Anglican forces in the domination of Northern England and Southern Scotland…The Angles (Aegloi) from Bactria together with the Saxe-Saxons (Sakae/sons of Isaac) and Jutes (Iatii) from Scythia were to be the dominate elements in the conquest of England.” (“The Tribes, page 138)
So we now can envision the English colonists of New Zealand as the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, as their name would encumber the elements of their predominate Tribe of Ephraim origins; the Angles, whose name derived from the Hebrew word עֶגְלָה (Eglah) meaning a female calf, cow or heifer. This was the heifer that was the symbol of the tribal banner of the Tribe of Ephraim, youngest son of Joseph. It was also Ephraim who received the tribal blessings over all the Ten Tribes of Israel from the Patriarch Jacob to represent the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel at the end of days.
The earliest earthquake destroyed with extensive damages also the Christchurch Chabad House. During the final evacuation of the property, two Torah Scrolls were rescued by the Christchurch police Detective Chris Bell in March.
It was just the day before this latest quake, the New Zealand director of the Chabad-Lubavitch, Rabbi Mendel Goldstein celebrated a family Chanukah program and on that same day, entered the extensively damaged local Chabad House in Christchurch for one last tour before it was to be razed and reconstructed.
During this last walk through of the Chabad House of Prayer, Rabbis Goldstein along with Rabbi Shmuel Kopel of Queenstown, Australia found additional ritual items on loan to the Chabad of New Zealand. This included a damaged silver Torah crown and a silver pointer used during Torah readings.
In February, the initial quake series took international attention as the Christchurch Cathedral tower was toppled and extensive damage to over 10,000 different properties in New Zealand. During the latter part of June, another series of quakes shook the New Zealand populous. With the hopes that the worse is over, the New Zealanders were just getting settled again when the latest series of quakes occurred.
The two leading rabbis sent word back to the International Headquarters of the Jewish Chabad Lubavitchers in New York, that all of the Jewish Chabad members were safe, and urged that Jewish backpackers heading for the South Island to “not be there unnecessarily.”
At the same time the rivers along the eastern coastline of Queensland, Australia were backing up and flowing backwards, inundating vast regions of Eastern Queensland. What they were experiencing was the sinking of the Indo-Australian Plate in Pakistan and Indonesia, that was then being tipped at the other end of the Indo-Australian Plate where one end of the continent of Australia and the Island of New Zealand are being raised up and elevated and the other end of Australia is sinking.
Either way, subductions or the sinking of lands causing flooding predominately along coastal regions will continue to occur with the elevation of other lands. They will be associated with earthquakes and vast seismic changes are part of the end-times seismic changes that will remodel Planet Earth in preparation of the soon to come Kingdom of G-d with the Moschiach ben David (Messiah son of David).
When the Lost Anglo-Saxon tribesmen colonizing New Zealand come to their new awareness that they are destined to be reclaimed, redeemed, and restored back soon to the homelands of their ancient forefathers in the “fields of Shomron”, to assist their Jewish cousins to prepare for battle in the land wars on Planet Earth, GogUMagog or Armageddon, when together they may also witness the Maschiah ben David (Messiah son of David) coming with great glory.
Obadiah 1:17 – “But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. The house of Jacob (Judah) shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph (Ephraim as the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel) shall be a flame; but the house of Esau (Rome) shall be stubble.”

The rabbi was desperately looking for a small light in the sea of dark despair.
“In their very essence a Jew and despair are contradictory. They simply cannot co-exist together.” Rabbi Shraga Shmuel Schnitzler, who went by the more familiar name of Rabbi Shmelke, looked around the barracks to make sure that the others had understood his point. Amidst the crowd of weary faces that stared back at him, there were a few who were nodding their heads in agreement. Perhaps they, too, had been chassidim in another life — the life that existed before the war — and so they could appreciate the tales that Rabbi Shmelke told about chassidic Rebbes of former days.
Rabbi Shmelke didn’t tell his stories just to pass the time. His job, as he saw it, was to keep up the spirits of the Jews who were imprisoned in the Bergen Belsen concentration camp. That job would have been much easier if they were prophets, since the end of the war was just a few months away. But during that Kislev of 1944, the situation seemed as hopeless as ever. Even the thought of Chanukah, which was fast approaching, couldn’t dispel the gloom for most of them.
For Rabbi Shmelke, it was a different story. Since the beginning of the month he had been busy preparing for the holiday. He asked the same question to everyone he met: “Can you get us a little oil? Do you someone who works in the kitchen?”
The answer was always the same: No.
Chanukah was only a few days away and he had to find some oil.
With dismay, he realized that Chanukah was only a few days away. He knew only too well what would happen if he couldn’t find any oil. Many of his fellow prisoners were clinging to life only by a slender thread of hope. Once that thread was snapped, they would succumb to the deep sea of dark despair that threatened to drown them. So he had to find some oil. Even if he found only enough oil to kindle the first Chanukah for a few seconds that would be enough. But no Chanukah lights? That wasn’t an option.
The day before Chanukah Rabbi Shmelke was at work — his “other” job in the camp was to remove dead bodies from the barracks — when he received an order to go to the last barrack, where some people had died during the previous night. While he walked across a field his foot got caught in a small hole in the frozen earth and he almost fell. He removed his foot from the hole and noticed that there was something buried inside. After making sure that no guards were watching him, he knelt down to see what it was.
He pulled out a small jar from the ground. Inside was some congealed liquid. Oil, he whispered. Oil for Chanukah!
Rabbi Shmelke then reached his hand inside the hole a second time. To his delight he discovered that the hiding place contained more surprises. He pulled out a carefully wrapped package and quickly undid the paper wrapping. Inside were eight little cups and eight thin strands of cotton.
It was obvious that some Jewish prisoner had buried this little menorah and the oil. But who was he? And where was he? Had he been transported to another camp? Had he died?
Although Rabbi Shmelke desperately wanted oil for his own barracks, he sincerely hoped that the Jew who had buried these things was still alive. Perhaps he was still in the camp and he would come back the next day and search for the treasure that he had so carefully hidden. So Rabbi Shmelke carefully reburied everything. But for the rest of the day and night, he asked every Jew that he met the same question: “I found some oil and a menorah. Maybe you were the one who hid them?”
The other prisoners looked at him with sad eyes, certain that at last the horrors of the Rabbi’s work had destroyed his mind. “No, Rabbi,” they said, one after another. “I didn’t hide any oil. I didn’t hide a menorah.”
The next night, however, they discovered that Rabbi Shmelke hadn’t gone mad. When they returned to their barracks after the evening roll call they saw, to their amazement, a little menorah standing on one of the bunks. To their even greater surprise, one of the cups was filled with oil!
Rabbi Shmelke recited the blessings and then kindled the light for the first night. The group watched in silence while the tiny flame fought its eternal battle against the surrounding darkness. Some smiled, others cried. All felt a sweet spark of hope revive inside their embattled and embittered hearts.
Their own personal miracle was repeated on each night of the holiday.
Their own personal miracle was repeated on each night of the holiday. And then a few months later, in April 1945, an even greater miracle occurred. Germany surrendered. The war was over.
Rabbi Shmelke was one of the fortunate few who survived the war. After Bergen Belsen was liberated he returned to Hungary, where he served as a spiritual leader for other survivors and became known as the Tachaber Rav.
Several years later he made a trip to the United States, and while he was there he paid a visit to an acquaintance from the “old country” — Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe. While they reminisced, the Satmar Rebbe mentioned that he had also been a prisoner in Bergen Belsen.
“I was there a year before you,” said the Satmar Rebbe. “I was rescued on the 21st of Kislev, four days before Chanukah. Before I found out about the rescue plan, I made provisions for the holiday. I bribed several camp officials and put together a package of oil, cups, and wicks, which I then buried in a field. I always felt badly that my little menorah was never put to use.”
Rabbi Shmelke smiled. “Your menorah was used. It dispelled the darkness for hundreds of Jews and helped at least one of them survive the war.”

Daniella Weiss charges that the Base was not an IDF base where Israeli Soldier are stationed to protect the Land of Israel, but was a Demolition Base set to destroy Settlements in order to Partition the State of Israel into indefensible borders.
Allow the audio to pass the first few minutes of advertising. There is no visual imagery as this is a “Talk Show Israeli Style” so continue to read while listening to former Mayoress Daniella Weiss, who was visually observing the events.
As the Nation of Israel is preparing to celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah, the order to destroy another outpost settlement in the Shomron regions of Israel was given by the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Over the next 48 hours between Monday and Wednesday, December 13-14, 2011, the saga of the “attack by settlers” on an IDF military base took on a life of its own, sharply dividing the State of Israel.
As later reported in the Israeli media, when some 50 youth, known by the international press at the “hill-top terrorists” invaded what was called the “Ephraim Brigade headquarters” in Samaria on Monday evening, December 12, and reportedly “burned some tires and damaged an IDF vehicle by throwing stones, Molotov cocktails and scattering nails on the road.
This incident came after the residents in the Shomron settlement of Ramat Gilad reported that the government troops were being sent out that night to destroy the homes of families in five different “budding communities” in the Shomron and Judea region. As IDF Chief of Staff Benny Ganz later spoke at the graduation ceremony at the National Security College, he said:
IDF Chief of Staff Benny Ganz – “These initiated disturbances are violent. The IDF, which protects its people, found itself defending itself from them. It’s absurd and unbelievable, and I hope that justice is done with the perpetrators…I’m convinced that the leadership and the authorities will do everything that is necessary to ensure that justice is done.”
This incident was first reported by Arutz Sheva:
Arutz Sheva – “The Association of Hesder Yeshivas strongly condemned the incident in a statement released to the press. The attack was universally condemned by Jewish communal leaders in Judea and Samaria who described the incident as "shameful and disgraceful." Rabbis from across the orthodox spectrum in Israel have also condemned the incident.”
As one Israeli citizen who lives in the Shomron region wrote:
Shomron resident - “We daily ask HaShem, as we drive past this hill and with thankful hearts see the settlement yet untouched, to be reminded of His promise that the hills of Shomron will be settled again. While we allow for His Will to be done, we do earnestly insist that He takes care of this particular settlement. May He hear our prayers and thanksgiving for Ramat Gilad.”
As the dust began to settle from the polarized Israeli population who are demanding retraction from national leaders and former intelligence and military leaders who claim as the former Shin Bet official Menachem Landau stated:
Former Shin Bet Menachem Landau – “These are terrorist acts and we should treat them accordingly. When they enter a military base and clash with IDF officers, I do not understand how they were not arrested…The IDF has to protect its bases and if it’s necessary to arrest them they should be arrested, and if it’s necessary to hit them physically they should be hit.
This group already crossed the red lines long ago. These are terrorist acts committed to intimidate the government, classic terrorism. The problem is that they are clever - they know the rules and when they are arrested they use their right to remain silent for a few days and then there is no choice but to release them. We need to change our perception. It’s hard to question them, they prepare themselves well.”
The next day, Minister Binyamin Netanyahu accepted the recommendationsof Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch and Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman and established new rules of engagement in Judea and Samaria for apprehending and pacifying the Israeli population living in Judea and Samaria. Yet, doing so, establishes the continued blighted and warped perception of the Israeli settlers, who truly are the patriots and pioneers of Israel. These new rules would include:
An immediate issuing of administrative detention orders against rioters;
Immediately increasing the number of those barred from various areas in the Shomron and Judean regions;
Trying rioters in military courts;
Giving IDF soldiers the authority to detain people even of Israeli citizenship; and
Increasing both the number of special ISA, Israel Police, IDF and State Attorney's Office investigation teams and the resources for investigations.
This scenario has every spectrum of becoming the beginning of a totalitarian state. As Netanyahu stated:
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu - “Those who raise a hand against IDF soldiers or Israel Police personnel will be punished severely. Those who rioted at the IDF Ephraim Brigade base are like those who riot in Bilin. It is important to me to emphasize that this is a small group that does not represent the public that lives in Judea and Samaria, who are loyal to the state and its laws and who condemn the rioting.
Out of the emotional carnage of the Israeli Orthodox living in these regions, the outcry from the residents of these pioneering families that live in this region began to increase with certain urgency.
This same type of Destruction of a New Israeli Home was prevented by Patriotic Hill-Top Settlers
What is more Honorable for a People whose ancestral roots have lived here for 3,800 years?
The next day, it became more apparent that this demolition failed because it was prevented by the Patriot youth attacking the unjust leaders who would rather appease Islam and the American White House than obey the G-d of Israel stating the Holy Land of Israel is not for sale, or up for negotiations. The blame was immediately laid in the lap of the one whom they considered the most responsible, the Prime Minister of Israel.
As reported on the Israel National Radio talk show host Tamar Yonah Tuesday night, Daniella Weiss, the former mayoress of Kidumim for many years and current leader of the Hill Top Youth in Shomron, who is one of the bravest of the patriotic settlers in Central Israel.
Allow the audio to pass the first few minutes of advertising. There is no visual imagery as this is a “Talk Show Israeli Style” so continue to read while listening to former Mayoress Daniella Weiss, who was visually observing the events.
While listening to this broadcast, it is important to be aware that Tamar Yonah is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, her father who survived the Nazi brutalities of the Holocaust. After the war of liberation, her father made his way to the shores of the British Palestine Mandate, where again fighting for his survival, he again fought in Israel's war of Independence.
Tamar Yonah’s life was greatly affected by her father’s Zionistic zeal, that is a person zealous to be G-d’s emissary to live, protect and prepare the Land of Israel for the future Messiah son of David. She herself served in the Israeli Defense Force in both the army and the Israeli air force. Afterward she become a Zealot activist for the Land of Israel and the Jewish nation serving and fighting for Israel’s survival as a “vocal beacon of light since beginning a prolific career in radio” on Israel’s most popular English language radio talk show. When you are finished digesting this article, I challenge you to read Tamar Yonah’s latest blog, “It’s time for an Israeli Spring”.
On her talk show was the famousDaniella Weiss, the former mayoress of the nearby city of Kedumim, who earlier had protested that the “price tag” violence against government policy is too distracting for Jewish idealist youth. It was she who encouraged that the proper way for the “hilltop youth” to act instead of with violence like the Palestinians do, but accepted by the world as fighting against oppression, is to continue to erect caravans and tents on hilltops throughout all of Judea and Samaria. This idea is perfect, but she and the G-d of Israel also need a Jewish or Lost Israelite benefactor, who has the same zeal as George Soros, who Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes reported was “One Evil Man, the Expose on George Soros, the Hungarian Jewish anti-Jew” who is fighting to destroy the Land of Israel for observant Jewish youth.
If there is such a benefactor/s, who is/are willing to finance the purchase of hundreds of caravans to be placed on Hilltops across all across the region of Shomron, maybe the military commanders and leaders will not be so bored, and seek to continue to destroy people’s homes and lands that have been supported by the State of Israel in the past, yet now regard the American White House of having greater authority than the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Maybe it’s time for the people of Israel and the Evangelical Christians around the world, who are predominately the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, to rise up and demand the State of Israel: Build! Build! Builds!
What is this so important to the Lost Tribes of Israel, who are awakening to their new identity? It may be only one to three years before the Prophecy of Ezekiel 36 will come to a new reality. By the millions the Lost Tribes of Israel, if the prophetic intent of the prophecy is fully understood, in years of great calamity and catastrophe will be coming to make aliyah into the Land of Israel for another Exodus maybe in the making.
If our understanding is correct and there is a Dark Binary Star heading towards Planet Earth, then the “Death Angel” of the Egyptian Exodus is now returning for the second time, just in time to bring forth a New Exodus for the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and for the reunification of the prophetic message in Ezekiel 37 between the House of Israel and the House of Judah.
Allow the audio to pass the first few minutes of advertising. There is no visual imagery as this is a “Talk Show Israeli Style” so continue to read while listening to former Mayoress Daniella Weiss, who was visually observing the events.
It appears that the former mayoress Daniella Weiss or Tamar Yonah may be able to connect such a noble benefactor with the right people and let the future homeland of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel sprout with new homes for Jewish babes until the rabbanim and the leaders of Israel find a halakhic solution to redeem the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel back to the lands given to each tribes as a perpetual tribal blessing for “all generations.”
Yet, Daniella Weiss also takes great dispute with the military camp that is described as an “IDF base” with a name called the Ephraim Brigade and then infiltrated by about 50 youth, who ended up vandalizing vehicles to prevent them from destroying property not of Jewish leftists but only of G-d’s emissaries on Planet Earth, the Orthodox Jews. As Weiss spoke:
Weiss said, “It was an army base [but has been] transformed into a camp from which military forces act to destroy settlements… You cannot call a base of destruction (against Israeli people) an army base. They [the youth] tried to prevent bulldozers from leaving what was a former army camp.”
Weiss, the former mayoress of the city of Kedumim who is sitting on the ridge just nearby to the base, then accused Prime Minister Netanyahu, who she calls “Netanyah” in her Hebrew accent, of psychologically dividing the country and creating division and conflict between the “idealist youth” and the local Jewish leadership in Judea and Samaria. If so, Prime Minister Netanyahu is using the same “Hegelian Dialectic Philosophy” adhered by his fellow Masonic national leaders in America and Europe who seek to “divide and conquer”. As Weiss continues:
Daniella Weiss – “This serves to create distortion of settlers to make it easier to demolish their homes… He is lying and is doing exactly what Sharon did.”
This last accusation is that Netanyahu is following the same policies of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon who was responsible for the expulsion of 10,000 Jews from Gush Katif near Gaza along the Mediterranean Seam but even worse.
Daniella Weiss – Netanyahu is “lying and playing even dirtier because he is touching the heart of the Land of Israel. He was elected on the Greater Israel platform of the Likud party yet spoke against it” in his Bar-Ilan University speech two years ago, when he declared that he supports dividing Israel by creating a Palestinian Authority state within Israel’s borders…The Prime Minister is cheating his own nation. He is selling out his homeland.”
These powerful sentiments need to be understood in their most poignant and prophetic impact. As the Likud party platform, which Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has promised to uphold, states:
The Likud Party Platform - "The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting."
So the gauntlet has now been thrown. Will one brave mayoress be able to stand up against the Goliath of the world and the leadership of the State of Israel who seek to appease Islam and oppress their own people, who are obeying the G-d of Israel, who proclaims, “The Holy Land of Israel is not for Sale?

Rabbi Avraham Feld, the Founder of Kol Ha’Tor Vision takes us on a visual tour to an Israeli Heritage Park overlooking the heartland of the biblical patriarchs; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Here we see the “contested lands” called the “occupied areas in the West Bank”. Here is a land that was given in a perpetual covenant to Abram, and upon his acceptance of the covenant his name was changed to our forefather, Abraham.
It is clear why this land is “contested land” for according to the prophets of all traditions; whoever controls the heartland of Israel will control the world. For those who have been anticipating and waiting for the “final hour” of biblical history, wake-up! That day has come, but are you aware of it?
If you are emotionally siding with the “rest of the world” who want to wrestle this land away from the Jewish people, and give it to people who are enemies to the G-d of Israel, beware for you have become immersed into HaSatan’s vision of his new order for this world. Even unconsciously, those who advocate giving the land of Shomron away to the Palestinian Arabs are also blocking the establishment of the Kingdom of G-d on Planet Earth.
What is also incredible, those whose hearts are “bleeding” for humanitarian cause of the Palestinian people, are predominately those who the G-d of Israel has proclaimed, are His Lost Tribes of the House of Israel. It was they whom He sent into exile for their rebellion against Him with their “Golden Calf” and through their wanderings became the invasions into ancient Gaul as the Celtic, Cymrics, the Goths, the Vikings along with numerous other names. They settled into Northern Gaul and became the countries of Northern Europe today. It is they, who Hashem, the G-d of Israel has promised to bring home, and reunited the Lost Ten Tribes again into one family with the Jews of the House of Judah. Where will that begin? Yes, in the “fields of Shomron and Judea?

Yet, with Rabbi Feld, we witness a new dimension to this map overlooking the Land of Shomron (Samaria). Here we also witness the reality of the future expansion of Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) that is called “Greater Israel”. Here is the future homeland of the Lost Ten Tribes of the Northern Nation of Israel. If your mother or father trace their ancestry back to England, the Isles of the West, the Scandinavian Viking nations, plus the Dutch and the French and Germans living in the north, you are the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel.
The mantra of the world trying to prevent this explosive international event is tied directly into the cosmic battle between G-d and Satan; who will control Jerusalem, the Holy Land of Israel, and become the next new capital of the world of the coming Messiah. It shatters the apostate image of Papal Rome; Rome becomes the New Jerusalem accepted by the “harlot daughters of Rome” who once were Protest-ants against Rome. They are now are the “Church build around Rome” and today consider themselves as “Spiritual Israelites” where the “Church’s Replacement Theology” replaces the covenant relationship of the Jewish people with the G-d of Israel with apostate Christianity. Today, we are back again to 70 CE, except this time, Jerusalem will be saved, and Edom Rome will be utterly destroyed.
Enjoy this video presentation, for what we will witness soon; the “Word of Hebrew Prophecy” will stand invincible!

King Henry VIII and the Expulsion of the Roman Catholic Church from England
A century before the Puritan Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in the year of 1620, back in their home country of England, the English monarchy was going through trials and tribulations. The Roman Catholic Church now had a strangle hold over the island’s economy. More and more cathedrals and monasteries were being built and all the land of the Roman church was tax free.
Yet, it took the private affairs of King Henry VIII for the monarchy of England to divest itself from the Roman Catholic Church’s control over the religious and temporal lives of the English people. King Henry VIII’s struggle with the Roman Catholic Church was a personal affair over his six marriages when he was excommunicated from the “Church”.
In retaliation, he separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church and Roman papal authority between the years of 1536-1541. The Catholic Monasteries, who had possession of twenty percent of the land in England, were dissolved. King Henry VIII became the Supreme Head of the Church of England, yet, in his heart, King Henry VIII was a core Catholic believer in its theological teachings.
In spite of King Henry VIII’s personal Catholic beliefs, the flowering of the epic rise of the Protestant Revolution was finally taking hold in Great Britain. Through the strong will of King Henry VIII, Britain became a Protestant nation.
It was the Puritans and the Puritan Pilgrims called “separatists” who yearned for a spiritual revival like the ancient days. This was when the ancient Nazarene Culdee Ecclesia in Glastonbury under the guidance of Joseph of Arimathea, the rich man of Jerusalem who was the great uncle of the Jewish messiah called Yahshua HaMaschiah, did stand out as a “light to the nations” for almost four centuries (between the 1st and the 4th century CE), by refusing the yoke of Roman apostasy. King Henry VIII expelled the Roman Catholic Church from England as noted above in retaliation for Pope Clement IV excommunicating him from the “Church” when the pope refused to annul his marriage with his Catholic wife, Catherine of Aragon. The battle for the heart and soul of the Lost Tribe of Ephraim, called the Engel Sacchi (Anglo-Saxons) was now in earnest between the Roman papacy and the English crown.
Bloody Mary’s Catholic roots and the Legacy of Queen Elizabeth I of England
After the short six year reign of Edward VI, son of Henry VIII’s first marriage with Catherine of Aragon, the throne of England came under the rule of Queen Mary I, Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon’s daughter. She first, though, had to take the throne by force by assembling an army to topple a usurping monarch called the “Nine Days Queen”, Lady Jane Grey, the great grand-daughter of Henry VI.
To prevent her half-sister, Elizabeth I of England from assuming the throne of England, Queen Mary I, under the guidance of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, married Charles V’s son in 1555, Philip II of Spain of the Hapsburg Holy Roman dynasty in Spain. She became the Queen consort of the Hapsburg Holy Roman Empire dynasty in Spain and as the Queen of England reinstituted the Roman Catholic Church as the religion in England.
In that same year, Pope Paul IV issued a Papal Bull recognizing Philip and Mary as the “rightful King and Queen of England. Together, after Philip II ascended to the throne of Spain in 1556, Philip and Mary became known as; “Philip and Mary, by the Grace of God King and Queen of England, Spain, France, Jerusalem, both the Sicilies and Ireland, Defenders of the Faith, Archdukes of Austria, Dukes of Burgundy, Milan and Brabant, Counts of Habsburg, Flanders and Tirol.”
The Expulsion of the Jews from Spain on the 9th of Av, 1492
All this occurred at the height of the Spanish Imperial rule, when Spain reigned supreme with her colonies in Mexico, plus Central and South America. The gold of Aztecs of Mexico and the southern regions in Central and South America made Spain the wealthiest nation in the world.
Yet the reign to Queen Mary I, became a harbinger for the decline of the power of the Roman papacy. Intoxicated by wealth and power, Queen Mary I also inherited the “Church’s” bloody past highlighted in the Inquisitions first against the Jews in the late 15th century until the Sephardic Jews were officially expelled from Spain on the 9th of Av, 1492.
Under the providence of Hashem the G-d of Israel, the Jewish Kabbalist Salvador Fernando Zarco who was known in history as Cristobal Colon became the most famous founder of the land of America. Today Salvador Fernando Zarcois known as Christopher Columbus.
Columbus (Colon) and his ship’s crew on the Santa María, thePinta, and the Niña, “sailed the ocean blue in 1492” after resting on the Seventh day Jewish Shabbat, that infamous day called the 9th of Av, when the Jews from Spain were expelled. They aimed their ships and their Jewish crew to the west and went on to discover not the pathway to India, but founded the New World in Central and South America.
Three centuries after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain (1492 CE), and two centuries after King Henry VIII’s expulsion of the Roman Catholic’s from England (1536 CE) the zeal of Protestant missionaries followed the rise and expansion of the British Empire. They took the message of the Jewish messiah all around the world.
Messianic Aliyah of the Disciples of the Vilna Gaon in Europe and the First Great Awakening in America
This paralleled the First Great Awakening in America and England in the mid-18th century (1730-1740s). This “awakening” was directed solely with the Lost Tribes of Israel of the House of Ephraim (Efrayim) on the Island of Britannia and England’s colonists in America. Yet, at the same time the G-d of Israel was also simultaneously open up the prophetic eyes of one of the most influential rabbis in Europe. The disciples of the Vilna Gaon were awakened by their Rav that the time of the revealing of the messiah was soon at hand.
According to the disciples of the Gra, called the Vilna Gaon, it was time for the Jewish people to begin their aliyah and return to the habitation of the Land of Israel. Only when the Jewish people became the dominate people occupying the Land of Israel would the messiah “come” or be revealed.
Biblesearchers Reflections wrote about these amazing parallel movements between Judaism (return of the disciples of the Vilna Gaon) and Protestant Christianity (First and Second Great Awakenings) in the years between 1730 – 1770 and the year 1810 – 1850, in the article titled, “The Great Aliyah to Israel by the Disciples of the Vilna Gaon”, and as we read:
BibleSearchers Reflections – “At this same time, as the descendants of the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, were grappling with “Two Great Awakenings”. The First Great Awakening would come in the prime years of the Vilna Gaon between the years of 1730-1770 and the Second Great Awakening would arrive in the Eastern Seaboard of America and the British Isles as the “Great Aliyah” was beginning with the arrival of the disciples of the Vilna Gaon in 1808-1810.”
BibleSearchers Reflections – “The messianic fervor continued to develop as a group of the disciples began the official process of seeking to reestablish the authentic semichah (rabbinic ordination) and the re-instituting of the Great Sanhedrin for the Jews. Both of these seminal events were necessary to occur, according to Jewish prophecy, before the process of Redemption would begin heralding the coming of the Maschiah.
In the year of 1837, a few of the Jewish Separatists began, according to the prophecies of Zechariah, to discontinue the tradition of mourning for the destruction of Jerusalem during the day of Tisha B’Av at the recitation at midnight of the Tikkun Chatzot, for the redemption was now at hand.
They were anxiously waiting the coming of the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah son of David) at a most mysterious of times when their lost tribal brothers of the House of Israel along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States during the Great Awakening in the late 1830s were also anxiously preparing for the return of Yahshua, whom they called by the Greek transliteration, the name, Jesus. Together a profound awakening would forever change both the Lost Israelites and the Jews.”
As the British Empire took control of the “gates of trade and enterprise” around the globe, the English missionaries followed and were exposing the gentile world to the “rays of Light” of the Jewish Nazarene messiah, called Yahshua. This became a “pathway” of learning and understanding about the G-d of Israel and His covenant with his people; all Twelve Tribes of the “Children of Israel”.
The Protestant revolt quickly fanned out over the continent of Europe. Yet, it did not start with the British Pilgrims and Puritans but farther south in the Mountain regions of the Pyrenees. Here is where the “separated” Protestants (Protest-ants) were migrating into Southern France from Roman Catholic Northern Spain. By why?
Imperial Rome sacked not Once but Twice by the Israelite Visigoths and Vandals
Here in the regions of the rugged mountain peaks and caves of the Pyrenees were the persisting legends of the hidden “Treasures of Solomon’s Temple” that were captured in part first by the Visigoths, and later completed by the Vandals. The descendants of the Germanic tribes of the Ostrogoths, Visigoths and the Vandals regarded themselves as the “guardians of Solomon’s treasures”. Why again!
According to numerous scholars, these Germanic tribes were the Lost Tribes of Israel, “wandered”, just like Abraham of Old, from the land of their exile, called Khurasan beneath the Black and the Caspian Seas. They traveled west, like their later descendants, the American pioneers did in the mid 19th century and emigrated into the desolated forests of Northern Gaul and the legacy of the Lost Tribes of Israel upon Protest-ant Christianity is best understood by the legacy of the Visigoth and the Vandals and as emissaries of Divine Judgment upon Apostate Rome.
Though “lost”, Hashem knew always where they were and guided them in their “wanderings”. These same “foreigners”, whose origins were unknown to the Romans, were fought by the Roman legions in order to drive them as far away from Rome as possible into the northern regions of Gaul. There as the Celtic, Cymric, the Sacchi and the Angles, and now with the arriving Germanic tribes, they all began to cohabitate in close proximity to each other. And why should they not co-habitate near to each other? Were they not all cousins by their ancient roots as the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
What is even more amazing, they kept to their tribal Israelite roots, just like they did in the Land of Israel. The Brits remained English, the Swedes and the Norwegians kept together in Scandinavia, except those warriors who went abroad conquering lands of their Israelite cousins. Through the Druids and the troubadours, they maintained separate genealogies. It would not be, since the mid-19th century, did the last four generations of the Northern countries of Europe begin to amalgamate over the last 160 years (1840-2000). Clearly as we moved into the 3rd millennium, the time of the end had arrived.
What was strange, the image of the imperial might of Rome was shattered when they met the Lost Israelites. Rome became a wimp in the presence of the fierce warriors of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. The first two sackings of Rome were conducted by the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel; the Visigoths and the Vandals. Not only that, they removed from Rome what was not Rome’s; the gold from the Houses (Temples) of Solomon and Herod. Not only that, every time the Lost Tribes of Israel engaged the Romans in a military engagement they whipped and destroyed the Roman legions as they eroded the invincible power of the Roman Empire in the Germanic forest of Europe. This fact was stated with the greatest of clarity by John Heywood
John Heywood – “In reviewing this subject I cannot refrain from giving a brief account of a battle of these very Israelites, called by the Romans the "Cherusi." The scene of this battle was between the headwaters of the Ems and Weser (Rivers), and called Saltus Teutobergiensis.
This battle has been narrated by Sir E. Creasy, "as one of the decisive battles of the world." The leaders in this battle, A. D. 9, were Quintilius Varus, of the Roman legions, and Arminius, the leader of the Cherusi (the Israelites.) This battle, which lasted two days, was so fatal to the Romans that the tidings of it filled all Rome with an agony of terror, and Caesar Augustus was so alarmed that he often beat his head against the wall and exclaimed, "Qaintilius Varius, give me back my legions." The blow struck by Arminius was never forgotten."
It was the Lost Sheep of the Tribes of Israel as the Visigoths and the Vandals who later toppled Rome, twice, ransacked the city and took re-possession of the gold of Solomon’s Temple that was sent back by the Israelite Persian Shah, Cyrus the Great, to rebuilt the Temple of Zerubabbel. According to the vast number of legends that haunt the regions along the Pyrenees Mountains today in Southern France and Northern Spain, these treasures were repossessed by the Visigoths and the Vandals and placed in safe keeping in secret chambers in these rugged mountains caves.
Catholic Inquisition attacks the Lost Israelites known as the Cathars, Huguenots, and the Waldensians
Then in the 12th to the 16th century, the Cathars and later the Huguenots and the Waldensians were hunted by the Roman Catholic Inquisition in Southern France. By the tens of thousands were captured and destroyed by the most ignoble of means, by the Catholic Inquisition. They again morphed again with the arrival of the great Protestant reformer, John Calvin, who for the first time, spoke to his audiences of the Lost Tribes of Israel, that they had divine destiny. And that they did for the prophecy as given by Hashem, the G-d of Israel to Ezekiel the prophet in chapter 36, was to be fulfilled centuries later as their prophecy of destiny.
The Cathars, and later the Huguenots, and the Waldensians, now infused with destiny by John Calvin and the Calvinists became the Puritans who as political activists sought to change the monarchy of England. Those that gave up the concept of reforming the monarchy of England became the Pilgrim separatists and founded the Plymouth Colony in the 17th century in America, the New World.
It was their English Celtic and Anglo-Saxon cousins in Great Britain and the United States that later became the American and British missionaries of the 19th century during the height of England’s Victorian Era.
Yet, it was after the height of the Inquisition’s annihilation of the Cathars in the Pyrenees of Southern France (12th c.); and the Inquisition’s expulsion of the Sephardi Jews from Spain in 1492 that the witness of the Huguenots and the Waldensians in the Alps of Switzerland and Northern Italy laid their testimony to the Messiah called “The Nazarene” that the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel”, whom the Jewish messiah claimed was his sole mission proved that it was they who were the first converts in England and Northern Europe.
It was during the infamous era of the mid-16th century that Queen Mary I became known in her five year rule (1553-1558) over the English people as “Bloody Mary”. Under her rule, the Church of Rome returned to England to rule through bloody oppression under the rule of power, greed and control, rather than to guide the English people in the ways of G-d’s righteousness. For five bloody years, “Bloody Mary” carried the torch of Roman Catholicism as she had 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in what has been called the Marian Persecutions.
It took the Catholic massacres of the Waldensians who lived across the English Channel in Provence, France in 1545 who began to polarize the Europeans between those who would follow the path of Edomite Rome and the Northern European Lost Israelites. As early as 1631, the Protest-ant scholars began to regard the Waldensians as the early forerunners (13th century) of the Protest-ant Reformation, a mantle that would later be given to John Wycliffe (14th century) and Jan Hus (15th century). They were all directly targeted by the Roman Catholic Church, and the latter burned at the stake.
The facts that the Reformation took its greatest hold upon the minds and souls of the populous living in Northern Europe, suggests that there were the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Somehow in their “collective mind”, they knew that they were different when they arrived in the virgin forests of Northern Gaul, has been the testimony of numerous antiquarian researchers. These archives have then have been collected and collaborated with modern Jewish historical scholarship such as Yair Davidiy with Brit-Am, whose research on the Lost Tribes of Israel has been intensively documented andpublished in numerous historical volumes, that the nations of Northern Europe were colonized by the Lost Tribes of Israel known in history as the Celtic, Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings, along with the incoming waves of the Germanic tribes called the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and the Vandals.
It is amazing that the Protest-ant reformers who were viewed as rightist seditionists in medieval Catholic Europe, is the same “mantra” and attackd given today by the international press against the Orthodox “settlers” who are living upon the same land inhabited by the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel. It is these Jewish youth who live on the tribal lands of the House of Joseph through the descendants of his youngest son, Ephraim, who was given the tribal blessing. Both groups, four hundred and fifty years apart, had a dominate sense of “destiny” and “chosenness” and both of them believed in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The Mérindol Massacre in 1545 targeting the Waldensians hiding in the mountains of Provence just seventy-five years before the Puritan Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. This massacre became the lynchpin that shook European minds that humans had the indelible right to freedom of worship and speech. It was reported that hundreds to thousands were massacred and tortured for their emuna or faith in the G-d of Israel. These memories were already sealed in the minds of the Pilgrims before they set sail on the Mayflower and traveled over the Atlantic to the New World. Yet, these harsh memories were again wrestled from the depths of amnesia when the tales of the Massacre by the Duke of Savoy in the year of 1655 shocked them again of their fellow brothers and sisters in Europe when stories began to trickle across the Atlantic Ocean. As the stories unfolded:
Wikipedia – “In 1655 the Duke of Savoy commanded the Vaudois to attend Mass or remove to the upper valleys, giving them twenty days in which to sell their lands. In a most severe winter these targets of persecution, old men, women, little children and the sick "waded through the icy waters, climbed the frozen peaks, and at length reached the homes of their impoverished brethren of the upper Valleys, where they were warmly received." There they found refuge and rest. Deceived by false reports of Vaudois resistance, the Duke sent an army. On 24 April 1655, at 4 a.m., the signal was given for a general massacre, the horrors of which can be detailed only in small part.
The massacre was so brutal it aroused indignation throughout Europe. Oliver Cromwell, then ruler in England, began petitioning on behalf of the Vaudois, writing letters, raising contributions, calling a general fast in England and threatening to send military forces to the rescue. The massacre prompted John Milton's famous poem on the Waldenses, "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont".
Out of the Second Great Awakening in the mid-19th century, called the “Advent Awakening”, one of the leaders, Ellen Gould White, visited twice in 1885 and 1887, the mountainous valleys where the Cathar descendants called the Waldensians lived along the Italian and French border in the mountainous regions of the Alps. Her memoirs of that visit and the legacy and legends that haunt those pristine valleys were written down in chapter 4, called the “The Waldensians” of her most famous book, titled, “The Great Controversy”.
Ellen Gould White - "In lands beyond the jurisdiction of Rome there existed for many centuries bodies of Christians who remained almost wholly free from papal corruption. They were surrounded by heathenism and in the lapse of ages were affected by its errors; but they continued to regard the Bible as the only rule of faith and adhered to many of its truths. These Christians believed in the perpetuity of the law of God and observed the Sabbath of the fourth commandment....
But of those who resisted the encroachments of the papal power, the Waldenses stood foremost....The faith which for centuries was held and taught by the Waldensian Christians was in marked contrast to the false doctrines put forth from Rome....Through ages of darkness and apostasy there were Waldenses who denied the supremacy of Rome, who rejected image worship as idolatry, and who kept the true Sabbath...Here, for a thousand years, witnesses for the truth maintained the ancient faith." (Ellen White, “The Great Controversy”, chapter on "The Waldenses")
Yes, the Cathars and the Waldensians plus all the surrounding sects were corrupted in part in their concepts of the true Torah teachings given to the Hebrews at the mount called Sinai. For those critics who wish to demean the testimony of the lives of which these people’s lived, and the G-d in which they served, have only to remember, that the apostasies in which they adhered were but remnants of the apostasies in which they adhered to a the worshippers of Baal and the “Golden Calf” worship of the ancient Northern Tribes of Israel. Yet their biblical apostasies paled in terms of the corruption and the apostasy of the ancient Roman Christian Church, called in Revelation the “mother of harlots”. Most critics of the Waldensians today, would rather adhere to the apostasy of the ancient Church of Rome, and denounce the lives of the Lost Tribes of Israel, who as the Cathars and the Waldensians lived and gave their lived in testimony of the G-d of their forefather’s in which they remembered only in part.
The Protestant Queen Elizabeth I defends England from the Holy War assaulting the Isle of Britannia by the Catholic Spanish Armada
This religious war to control the monarchy of the British throne continued through Queen Mary’s successor, when Queen Elizabeth I came to the throne of England. Her rule over England was continued to be challenged by the Catholic King of Spain, Philip II, husband of “Bloody Mary” who refused to resign his claim to the throne of England when his wife, Queen Mary I, died. For most of Queen Elizabeth I’s life, she was under the threat of assassination by her royal Germanic cousin in Spain.
When Queen Elizabeth I assumed the Throne of England, she also returned England to Protestant Christian rule, and permanently exiled the Roman Catholic Church’s rule from England for the next 453 years. She also supported the United Provinces with the Dutch revolt against Spain and assisted the Dutch by English attacks on Spanish settlements and the pirating of the Spanish galleons that carried the gold from the New World to Spain also by the “Lost Triber” called Sir Francis Drake.
King Philip II of Spain in return retaliated and with the support of Pope Sixtus V planned a “crusade” against the English people in order to overthrow the Protestant rule of Queen Elizabeth I with the invasion of England with the Spanish Armada.
The Spanish fleet included; 151 ships, plus 28 warships of the Spanish Royal Navy, 20 galleons and four Neapolitan galleasses with 18,000 soldiers plus 1,500 brass guns, and 1,000 iron guns. There were also 108 converted merchant ships. The plan of the Armada under the command of the highly experience Marquis of Santa Cruz was to sail through the English Channel, and anchor offshore of Holland.
At the same time in the Spanish controlled Flanders, the Duke of Parma's army of 30,000 tercios would stand ready for an invasion into the southeastern portion of England. But the G-d of Israel chose otherwise.
The Marquis died prematurely and Medina Sidonia, a high-born courtier with no sea command experience assumed control of the armada. The Spanish Armada was routed and the Isle of Britannia was saved a major invasion with the assistance of the G-d of Israel who destroyed the Spanish Armada at sea.
The affect upon the English morale with national pride lasted for decades in the future. The legends of Elizabeth’s Protestant rule over the Catholic hegemony of Continental Europe invoked the blessings of the G-d of Israel over the Spanish with inscriptions that stated, “Flavit Jehovah et Dissipati Sunt”, “Hashem blew with His winds, and they were scattered”. The battle of the Spanish Armada was accounted as the greatest victory in English history.
The Lost Tribal ruler, Oliver Cromwell, and the Puritan’s Attempt at ruling the House of Ephraim
In the context of history, it was only 42 years later after the defeat of the Spanish Armada that the Pilgrims and the Puritans landed at Cape Cod and planted their legacy on the beach at Plymouth Rock. Over the next decades the pacifist Pilgrims, became absorbed as politically active Puritans. They were a decisive force with the founding of the Republic called the United States of America. They were instrumental in planting the seeds of religious freedom, and bestowed the concept of the “Manifest Destiny” upon the American nation.
The transition of a pacifist Pilgrim to a political activist Puritan was no doubt part of G-d’s divine mission. The reverse transition from Puritan back to a Pilgrim as the “age of man” transitioned to the “age of the Messiah” we wonder what life will be like. What is the “Manifest Destiny”, a role that American has played out so eloquently over the past two and one half centuries, as it also reaches it imperialistic apogee, is discussed in greater detail in the web article titled, “Puritan Belief and Manifest Destiny”.
Like the “Tea Party” in 21st century America, the political arena like monarchial England in the 17th century was quite messy. Oliver Cromwell was only 21 years of age. He would be a major for over the next 30 years during the future English civil wars; King Charles I’s personal rule of eleven years of tyranny, the First Civil War (1642-46), the Second Civil War (1647-49), the Third Civil War (1649-1651), the English Commonwealth (1649-1653), and Oliver Cromwell’s Protectorate (1654-58). Little did the Puritans on the Mayflower know that in the future, one of their own, Oliver Cromwell would topple the reign of King Charles I and establish an English Protectorate on the Isle of Britain.
Oliver Cromwell would impeach the king of England on charges of high treason against the English people, yet the Puritan’s experiment in parliamentary democracy with one legislative body failed for they did not have a balance of power with “checks and balances”. Unfortunately the totalitarian rule of a British monarchy effectively was transferred to a totalitarian Christian ruler by a Puritan dictator, Oliver Cromwell between the years of 1653-1658.
There the Puritans would establish a new reformed Parliamentary system in England on their version of Biblical Christianity. Little did they know that they were all members of the various of the Lost Tribes of Israel scattered all over the nations we know today in the northern sector of Northern Gaul or Modern Europe. It was they, so became the tribes in part of Ephraim, Dan, and Simeon that had settled in the Isles of the West in Ireland, Scotland, and England twelve to eighteen centuries earlier and fulfilling the biblical prophecies of the ancient Hebrew prophets of old given twenty three centuries earlier.
Oliver Cromwell did succeed. For the first time in English history, all three national peoples, the English, the Scottish and the Irish, were united into one. Cromwell established the first rule of a United Kingdom of Great Britain and established the foundation for the biblical prophetic tribes of the House of Joseph, when the Patriarch Israel (Jacob) gave the tribal blessing to the younger son, Ephraim, now Great Britain, and a prophetic blessing to the eldest son, Manasseh would become a great nation, now known as the United States of America.
It was Oliver Cromwell, who successfully separated the Tribes of Joseph. The British would later become identified as the British Empire and the House of Ephraim. The Americans would become identified as Ephraim’s older brother, Manasseh, who would be identified with the new Republic of the United States of America.
The Influence of the Pilgrim Separatists and the Puritan Political Activists upon 21st century American Politics
Influenced in this dynamic struggle for power and the expression of religious freedom, two streams of Lost Israelite expression of religious tolerance came to the forefront; the Pilgrim Separatists, and the Puritan political activists. These same streams are again alive and well as the final chapter of prophetic fulfillment is closing this era of human history. The era of Goyim (Gentile nations as imperial states) is now over. The era of the Messianic Kingdom of the House of Judah and the House of Israel as Joseph is today here and ascending into its new horizon.
The power and vision of both the Pilgrim Separatists and Puritan Political Activists, as they stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock have continued to live upon the American continental area. For almost 400 years (1620-2020), the length of time their forefathers lived in Egypt, they utilizing their vision and skills for the future embodiment of a future “era of the messiah”. The “Separatists” it appears will remain separated from the mainstream political arena. Yet, in the religious underground they remain a potent force, as their ancestral forefathers the Puritans struggle to reclaim the fame of the American republic as the bastion of freedom and the “home of the brave”.
With the emerging of the reality of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, we can now see the finger of the L-rd of host guiding the affairs of the nations. How the final days of the Days of Tribulation, only the G-d of Israel knows. What is clear in the prophets of the Hebrews, is that together the Jews and the return of the House of Lost Ten Tribes of Israel will together forge Hashem’s warriors that will bring to the fulfillment of all the final destruction of the global powers of dominion, force, corruption and evil that wield control in every sector upon this Planet Earth.
All mankind will be participants, either for the goodness of Hashem, the One G-d of Israel, or the usurping power of evil of Satan’s dark forces. One thing is clear; no man will be left behind without his consent, for all will have to make a choice, for the G-d of Israel or HaSatan.
Obadiah 1:17-21
“On Mount Zion there will be refuge, and it will be holy;
And the house of Jacob will inherit those who had dispossessed them.
The house of Jacob will be fire, the house of Joseph a flame,
And the house of Esau (Rome) for straw; and they will ignite them and devour them.
There will be no survivor to the house of Esau, for Hashem has spoken.
And (those of) the southland will inherit the Mountain of Esau;
And those of the lowlands (will inherit) the Philistines,
And they will inherit the fields of Ephraim and the field of Samaria;
And Benjamin (will inherit) Gilead;
This exiled host of the Children of Israel who are among the Canaanites until Zarephath,
And the exile of Jerusalem which is in Sepharad will inherit the cities of the South.
And saviors will ascend Mount Zion to judge the Mountain of Esau,
And the kingdom will be Hashem’s. (The Stone Edition TaNaKh)

As both the Pilgrim Calvinist Separatists and the Puritan political activists were stepping ashore at Cape Cod at the place now known as “Plymouth Rock”, there would be two dreams and two realities that would someday play out their roles upon the American continent. Equally mysterious was the fact that the famous “Plymouth Rock” was never expressed in any contemporary accounts of the Puritans landing until over 100 years afterwards.
The Pilgrims were Separatists, arriving from the Christian reformers in European called Calvinist Protestants. They had already rejected the institutional Church of England. It was their belief that the worship of the Divine came from within man, and that corporate worship in the style of Roman Catholicism and European State Religions such as England’s Anglican Church or German’s Lutheran Church interfered with the true establishment of a pure relationship with the G-d of Israel.
For the Separatist, the “church” was not an institutional hierarchy but was the “body of Christ” a symbolic union through the comprehension of true worship, liked the ancient Jews, in imitation of the life of the Jewish Nazarene messiah called Yahshua HaMaschiah (Jesus the Messiah). They believed that the worship of God must originate in the inner man, and that corporate forms of worship prescribed by man interfered with the establishment of a true relationship with God. The Separatists used the term “church” to refer to the people, the Body of Christ, not to a building or institution. As their Pastor John Robinson stated;
Pastor John Robinson - “[When two or three are] gathered in the name of Christ by a covenant made to walk in all the way of God known unto them as a church .”
The hopes and aspirations of the Pilgrims and the Puritans for a transformation of life in England had been fading for over a decade. Little did they know; did the G-d of Israel had new plans for their lives, even with their new dreams and new aspirations? For there was one thing they did not comprehend; they were descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel and their destiny was in Hashem’s hands.
Yet dreams were quickly cast aside for the more urgent realities. They had no homes or shelters, and they were beginning a winter that would soon ravage their meager supplies and kill half of their fellow companion English settlers.
According to their histories, the Mayflower actually sighted land on November 9, 1620. This sighting actually proved later to be the future Cape Cod and to the east of their destination at the mouth of the Hudson River by a considerable distance.
Not only that, they had to deal with the shoals or reefs off the coastline of Cape Cod and if the 1846 lithograph is correct, they disembarked in the “dead of winter”.
The Expeditions of the Puritan Pilgrims seeking to Find a New Home
On the eleventh day of November, the Mayflower finally anchored in Provincetown Harbor. They had been at sea now 66 days. On that day, the male passengers signed the famous agreement called the “Mayflower Compact”.
Below in the hold of the ship, the crew brought up in sections a small coastal boat called a shallop, which they took ashore and assembled it over the next 16-17 days. During this time, a group of male settlers, armed, under the command of Captain Myles Standish went on an exploring trip to find the most suitable location in which to prepare a future settlement. During their exploration, they saw Indians afar off. They also discovered a burial cache of corn that the Indians had left in storage. This included corn and an iron kettle. This act of “thievery would later be a source of negotiations later with the local Indian tribes.
Then they sent out a second expedition, consisting of 34 men who traversed along the coastline in the shallop of the inner Cape. They came upon the remains of an Indian village with fortifications. Later they also discovered a burial site of an Englishman and more corn remains left behind as though they were discarded when fleeing in haste.
Over the weeks the weather was getting more and more hostile. The frigid winter weather was setting in place, and it was in this weather that in a few more days, a third exploring party of nine men was sent on an expedition over to what is today, known as Plymouth Harbor. It was on December 6, that they discovered what they considered to be the most ideal location of a home base for a permanent colony. Nearby was located a Native America burial ground with unoccupied dwelling places. So it was here that they set up camp.
Early the next morning at daybreak, they were attacked by unknown inhabitants, in which they exchanged the arrow with musket shot fire. They again proceeded up the coast in the shallop when a violent gale of snow broadsided their boat. The heavy sea pounded the little shallop, broke the rudder at the hinges, and split the mast into three segments. They continued to maneuver the boat into a harbor shelter on what appeared to be an island and there slept a frigid night
It was the “Sabbath” on December 10, that they rested but explored in part a segment of the island, later calling it “Clark’s Island” in honor of Thomas Clarke, the mate working on the Mayflower. Then on Monday, December 11, they stepped ashore at Plymouth, the “landing at Plymouth Rock” was now logged in the annals of history. Whether there was actually a rock they stepped upon was never recorded in the contemporary historical accounts. It would be another one hundred years that such a rock would rise in the legendary tales of the Puritans and the Pilgrims.
Then along the shoreline, to their delight, they discovered fields that had been cleared and nearby, fresh running water. After the official “Landing at Plymouth” they returned back to the Mayflower and reported their discoveries. On that day, the idea crystallized in the entire community of believers, that here was to be their new home. The Mayflower sailed to the new landing site in Plymouth Harbor on December 16, 1620. Within another week, the construction of a new settlement was officially underway.
The Harsh Winter of 1620
The winter was terrible by all historical accounts. Fortunately for them, the Mayflower remained and became a floating fortress offshore and until homes could be constructed in part on shore. The ship itself was cold, damp with no available heat, but it did provide shelter. The exposure to the elements reduced the resistance of the colonists, and malnutrition and sickness began to take its toll on their lives. In the first month alone, when they lived at the tip of Cape Cod, four of their company died but there one additional birth; Peregrine White.
The year of 1621 arrived and the harshness of the winter took its toll upon the lives of the Pilgrims. During this time, another 40-41 colonists died and a one time, there were only seven Pilgrims that were healthy enough to care for the rest of the living colonists.
The on January 14, a fire caught the thatched roof on their first residence in the cove, but fortunately the sick ones inside were taken out to safety. Yet at this time, the structure of the colony began to take shape as two streets with houses and gardens were laid out in rows and upon the hill perched over the village, six cannons were set into the construction for the defense of the Plymouth Colony.
Samoset introduces Squanto to the Puritan Pilgrims
Then with the break of spring, the settlers were busy planting seeds in their gardens when on Friday, March 16, 1621, the English Pilgrims and Puritans met their first Native American Indians. Out of the woods came a noble Indian whose name was Samoset, an Abenaki Sagamore from the region of Maine. He plus another Indian walked up to the village and stated in clear English, “Welcome Englishmen”. As they accounted, Samoset had learned English from the English fishermen who every year crossed over the Northern Atlantic to fish for cod along the Massachusetts to Maine coastline.
Samoset also revealed to them the earlier a great plague had wiped out the entire village of Pawtuxet Indian peoples that lived in the cleared region where they were building their new colony. The approach of the Englishmen, the Indians soon learned that they could not be trusted for when Thomas Hunt, an English captain arrived, his visit ended up kidnapping some Indians and taking them back to England.
Then during the awakening spring, on March 22, 1621, at the vernal equinox, Samoset returned for the second time. This time he brought with him a second Indian with regal bearings. They walked into the colony as though they had official business. Samoset introduced this Indian as Tisquantum, and said that he was an emissary of Massasoit, the tribal chief of the Wampanoag, the largest and most powerful of the Indian tribes in the New England region.
He stood quietly in front of their eyes. It was an amazing sight to their alarming eyes. Here again was another American Indian that spoke very good English. As Tisquantum greeted the English Pilgrims and Puritans, he brought with him a message of peace. He told them that this was also his home, or the villagers that once lived here were his people, until he was captured by Thomas Hunt, but now he was prepared to stay and live with them to become their guide to learn how to live in this new land.
Truly they needed his skills and comprehension of how to live and survive in this dense and forested land. He also noted as he walked through the colony the tattered and temporary shelters that looked somewhat like the ancient “succahs” or temporary shelters that the children of Israel lived in during their Great Exodus from Egypt.
Quietly a new revelation was coming upon this Puritan Pilgrims. The Providence from on high was bringing to them their salvation. He was actually to be a “messiah” to them. He would be the one who would ensure their success and from these roots a New Nation would arise upon the principles of the Divine and the Torah laws given to them also from the mount called Sinai.
Unknown to the Pilgrims and Puritans, the real meaning of Tisquantum’s name was “The Wrath of G-d”. He would literally save them from this “wrath” as the harsh elements of winter were turning into the blood of springtime. Soon Tisquantum had a new nickname, as they soon began to call him “Squanto”, a shortened version of what he claimed was his own name.
They learned that Squanto was one of the men who had been captured by Hunt. On his adventures abroad as a slave, he traveled from Spain, then escaped to London the capital of England, and then returned to his native land as a guide of a certain Sir Ferdinando Gorges, when he taught him about the ways of the Europeans.
Spring was now in full bloom and the remaining half of the crew of the Mayflower was anxious to return home to England. The colonists were now gaining a confidence with the assistance of their new Indian friends and were invigorated with the blessings of spring and they said goodbye to great friends who had endured the winter with them. So the Ship called the Mayflower left the colony, now named, New Plymouth on April 5, 1621.
Squanto guided the settlement leaders in teaching them everything from building homes from native trees and herbage, to training them how to identify food and plants to eat. He taught them how to fish, plant corn, fertilize their crops with fish remains for fertilizer. With their new corn, he negotiated with a fair trade value for the corn in which they stole that prior winter so as remain in peace with the Indian people. With their first diplomatic interchange that could have created increased enmity and tension between the Puritan Pilgrim settlers, Tisquantum, now Squanto became the colony’s principle interpreter and agent that assisted in their transactions with the American Native Indians.
Squanto, G'd's Emissary to Save the Pilgrims and the Puritans, the Descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel
Yet, who then was this person called Squanto? As the Pilgrims were concerned, Squanto was part of G-d’s master plan and His Providence to save their lives. They felt that he was one in part of all the Indians that lived in the regions, not knowing that there were several tribes, and some Indians were free and part of their tribal family and others were slaves and lived with tribes that were not their tribal family. Such was the story of Squanto.
The year was 1614, and it would be another six years before the Pilgrims and the Puritans would band together and make that fateful journey to the New World on the Mayflower. Captain John Smith, whose name to fame has also gone down in history as the person who rescued Pocahontas, was the master of two British ships who were sailing to the coastline of Maine to barter with the Indians tribes for fur and fish to ship back to England. When he returned to England, he left behind his lieutenant, Thomas Hunt, to captain the second ship to load it with dried fish.
Against the directive of Captain Smith, Thomas Hunt took this ship and sailed south to the region known today as Cape Cod. There, in the year of 1614, they landed along the coastline of Patuxet (now Plymouth). It was there they met several Indians, whom they invited aboard their ship to barter and trade. One of these Indians was Squanto of the Pilgrim’s fame.
While onboard, suddenly the ships men captured them, locked them in “irons” and forced them into the hold of the ship for a six week sail back to Europe. As one of the survivors, Squanto’s fate, now enslaved was to be taken to Malaga, Spain and sold there to the Spaniards as a slave.
How the G-d of Israel intervened through a Roman Catholic Pope to save the life of Squanto from Slavery
It was to Squanto’s great fortune, that the country of Spain, under the overarching rule of the Roman Catholic Church, and now seeing the great injustice that they had done to the aboriginal inhabitants of South America had declared by the Pope, Paul III, a papal bull titled, “Sublimis Dei”, that forbad the Catholic governments under the overarching rule of the Roman Catholic Church from enslaving to depriving the liberty of the American Indians their freedoms and liberty. In the eyes of Pope Paul III, any intervention by the Catholic European countries upon the lives of the Indians had to be motivated by the perception of benefit by the Indians themselves.
Was Indian slave trading abolished from Catholic countries? No! Yet it did allow intervention by the Roman cleric, as in the case when Thomas Hunt, who took his ship not to England but down to Malaga, Spain. That was when Squanto was offered for sell, two Spanish Jesuit priests intervened to save his life. What then were they to do? Squanto somehow convinced them that they should send him home, but where was home? So began the travels of Squanto.
The two Catholic Jesuit priests, in an act of divine clemency, declared Squanto’s freedom and arranged passage from Spain up to the city of London. It was assumed that he was baptized a Catholic that would also assure them he would remain free. So in the fall of 1614, Squanto walked into the London office of the Bristol Company. This same company had received in 1610 the rights to trade by King James I, all along the coastline of the Isle of Newfoundland. Three years later, in 1617, Squanto, now a fluent and cultured Indian in the English culture, was on his way back to North America bound for the coastline of Newfoundland. Here he was stranded again, living in Newfoundland, still a 1,000 miles north of his native land near region of Patuxet, Massachusetts.
Squanto returns to his Home in the future Land of America
It was in the year of 1619, the Squanto, now a friend and accomplice of a British merchant called Thomas Dermer, he persuaded his friend to take him home. When Squanto landed again upon his own homeland, where his tribal village once stood, he noticed that the land was uninhabited. Not fully comprehending the Providence of the G-d of Israel, he was crushed when he learned that his family and friends had all died from the diseases spread to them by the English traders. Not even one of his family or tribe members was living. Squanto, now home, was orphaned from his own people.
He must have been a persuasive negotiator, for Squanto persuaded his British merchant benefactor to help him search for his own people who may have survived. Early in their quest, they were captured by warriors of Massasoit, the “sachem” of a confederation of Indian tribes of the Massachuset and Wampanoag tribes that once number over 20,000 native Indians. Yet, by the time that Squanto had returned, only 1,000 Indians remained. The rest had died from diseases that the European traders had brought to America.
The Puritans and the Pilgrims make Landing at Plymouth Plantation
It was just a few weeks later, by the Providence of the Almighty, a ship arrived near to the shores of Plymouth and a group of former politically active but disillusioned Puritans and Pilgrim separatists walked upon the shores of their new home. The G-d of Israel, the G-d whom they had once held the esteemed covenanted relationship as G-d’ chosen people of all the seventy nations of the world, these Pilgrims and Puritans were now exiled. It was not comprehended to them at this time it was because their forefathers had rebelled against G-d’s Holy Land, refused to worship on G-d’ House, refuse to accept the kings of the lineage of Kings David and Solomon. Later they formed their own oppositional kingdom against the Kingdom of Judah and the Mechoqeck, the rabbanim Torah jurists who defined the laws of just and mercy according to the laws of Torah, given to them from the mount called Sinai by Hashem, their G-d.
Yet, this time, even before they knew they needed a savior, G-d in his own divine providential brought to them a “savior” in the form of a “Red Man” who would literally save them from extinction. The settlers unpack their belongings and immediately began to build shelter upon the coast, where only a few years earlier, Squanto’s own tribal people once lived. Three months later, Squanto, the once captive who was rescued by two Jesuit priests, and who later was sent to England as a freeman, because of a papal edict that proclaimed that all Indians from America were “freemen”, was now again using his diplomatic skills to convinced the head “sachem” of the Wampanoag people to let him go as Massasoit’s emissary. He would negotiate with these people in peace, rather than attack them. Rather than annihilate these English settlers, and risk inflaming a civil war amongst the Indians, he would be on a mission to save both peoples.
The winter took it’s brutal as the winter blizzards and the English settlers almost failed to survive. In their weakest moment of time, when all but two Pilgrims were capable of carrying for themselves, they first met Squanto, and as Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Plantation wrote of Squanto:
William Bradford – “A special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectations. We also gain a glimpse that G-d uses at time
The First Year of the Puritan Pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation
Here was an account of their first year gleaned from the writings of their governor, William Bradford and Master Edward Winslow.
Governor William Bradford - “They begane now to gather in ye small harvest they had, and to fitte up their houses and dwellings against winter, being well recovered in health & strenght, and had all things in good plenty; for some were thus imployed in affairs abroad, others were excersised in fishing, aboute codd, & bass, & other fish, of which yey tooke good store, of which every family had their portion.
All ye somer ther was no wante. And now begane to come in store of foule, as winter aproached, of which this place did abound when they came first (but afterward decreased by degree). And besids water foule, ther was great store of wild Turkies, of which they took many, besids venison, &c.
Besids they had aboute a peck a meale a weeke to a person, or now since harvest, Indean corne to yt proportion. Which made many afterwards write so largly of their plenty hear to their freinds in England, which were not fained, but true reports.” W.B. (William Bradford)
Master Edward Winslow – “Our Corne did proue well, & God be praysed, we had a good increase of Indian Corne, and our Barly indifferent good, but our Pease not worth the gathering, for we feared they were too late sowne, they came vp very well, and blossomed, but the Sunne parched them in the blossome; our harvest being gotten in, our Governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a more speciall manner reioyce together, after we had gathered the fruit of our labors; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside, served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst vs, and among the rest their greatest King Massasoyt, with some nintie men, whom for three dayes we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed fiue Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed upon our Governour, and upon the Captaine, and others.
And although it be not alwayes so plentifull, as it was at this time with vs, yet by the goodneses of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plenty.” E.W. (Edward Winslow) Plymouth, in New England, this 11th of December, 1621.”
The First Thanksgiving Feast
The first Thanksgiving feast included foods suitable for honored guests of which there were many; the chief leaders of the Plymouth Colony and the native American Indian leader Massasoit (“Great Leader”) who was also called Ousarnequin (“Yellow Feathers”) or sachem (chief) of the Pokanoket (region at the head of the Bay of Narragansett(
On the table was served the First Thanksgiving menu: the meat of venison, wild fowl, and Native American turkeys. Indian corn served as the carbohydrate staples of the meal no doubt in several and various dishes. Also they gleaned from the stored provisions that they had from England and Holland and from the native land of the Indians; spices, Dutch cheese, wild grapes, lobster, cod, native melons, pumpkin (pompion) and rabbit.
On that day, Thanksgiving 1621, the Puritans and the Pilgrims gave to the American peoples of the future a new vision, by capturing the vision of the ancient Hebrews celebrating their fall festival at Succot, that thanking the G-d of Israel for giving you freedom and liberties that prosperity would be giving back by the Divine.
It was several decades later, that John Winthrop (1606-1676), a prominent Puritan minister spoke from his pulpit the clarity of the vision of the Puritan vision of a New World Order, under G-d. He was not only a wealthy landowner, but a true leader of the Puritans where he served as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony during most of its earliest history.
One hundred years after Winthrop’s death, these same dreams were clarified and embodied in the American “Declaration of Independence” and “America’s Bill of Rights”. This American Dream appeared also to tap into the subliminal dreams of a utopian society, that messianic society of the future age over two hundred years later. As Winthrop wrote;
Puritan Minister and Governor John Winthrop- “…we must consider that we shall be as a “City upon a Hill”, (and that) the eyes of all people are upon us…”
The Lost Tribes of Israel making a New Home in a New Land
This city as envisioned by the early colonists was the future New Jerusalem coming down during the future Messianic Era. To them it was a reflection of the subliminal dreams and visions of a perfect society, a Utopia, as a reflection and image of the Holy City where G-d’s throne resided.
Yet, whatever dreams and hopes you had with the future, must be coupled with closing the chapters of your past lives. It was the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who chose to rebel against Hashem their G-d, the G-d of Israel. It was during this time, that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel that were embodied predominately with the descendants of the Egyptian Hebrew viser, Joseph, began returning to their ancestral roots as Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.
They had to reap what they had sown, and what their forefather’s had sown in rebellion, they now had to begin undoing. By their acceptance of the totalitarian apostasy of the early Roman Christian Church that evolved later into Roman Catholicism, they had to return to their former Hebrew-Judaic roots and undo what their forefathers had done. By accepting the apostasy of Rome, even in the 17th century, they were also accepting the yoke of the dark forces of Catholicism that portrayed itself in sinister ways throughout the medieval era of Holy Roman Imperial era of Europe. Yet the crisis for survival was not over. The next crisis was the attitude of partnering and working together as a team to create a new social culture in a new world.
Learning the Difference between Communist Idealism and American Economic Partnering
Within two years the colony’s economic organization was deteriorated and had to be revitalized. Spurred on by hunger and potential death, under the guidance of Squanto, the colonists had worked hard in the fields during their first year. With a successful harvest and a wonderful “First Thanksgiving”, there were those who wanted to relax and not spend the essential effort to succeed.
The second and third year, it was more difficult to get the colonists to spend the efforts to work the fields and the gardens and put their best effort in creating a good harvest and so their productivity in the harvest declined rapidly.
Bradford, their governor, pondered about what was going wrong. Then he reviewed their contract with the London merchants and noted that in their contract, it stated the stipulations; “Everything in the colony, including the crops, was to be held in common for seven years.” Two hundred years before Marx and the Communist Manifesto, the Pilgrim’s contract had the seeds of communist ideology imbedded within. It was destroying the vitality of the Plymouth community and new commercial enterprise.
Governor Bradford boldly abandoned the contract arrangement in 1623, and after that date, every family would raise its own corn. Never again would the Plymouth colonists ever go hungry.
The Guidance of the G-d of Israel in Bringing the Puritan Pilgrims to help build a "Land of the Free" and Home for Religious Freedom
And now we know the “rest of the story”. The Puritans and the Pilgrims that traveled the Mayflower may have disappeared from history the same the settlers at Roanoke Island in the year of 1587 except for the love and guidance of the G-d of Israel. We now know that the great love of the Divine for His Lost Tribers who were the pioneers of the Protestant revolt in Europe, set in motion the events that would lead to the redemption and salvation of millions that have used America as the path of freedom from tyranny and religious intolerance. Without the Pilgrim’s separatism and the Puritan’s legacy of political advocacy, the history of America would not have been a symbol of freedom and liberty for all mankind that has spread its beacon around the world for over 235 years.
It would be Pope Paul III, who was enthroned after; the Augustinian monk Martin Luther posted the 95 thesis he wrote in 1517 on the door of the Castle Church Wittenberg, Germany and after the sack of Rome in 1527 by the mutinous troops of Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. He was became the pope who presided in 1540 when he approved the order of Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits and the Society of Jesus and started the Catholic Counter-Revolution against the Protestant revolt.
We have to conceive that Hashem works in mysterious ways, when we realize that here was the same pope who declared that all Native American Indians were children of G-d and could not be enslaved. This fact alone set forth the emancipation of Squanto from slavery who was assisted by the Jesuits in his redemption first to England and later back to the home of his forefathers in America.
Such is the work of the Divine, setting in motion events years in advance, that in this case became the path for the redemption of the Pilgrims and Puritans who later become the iconoclastic images of “Giving Thanks to the Almighty for His Great Providence at Thanksgiving” by an Indian slave who was disenfranchised from his own land and people, saved and redeemed in Catholic Spain, sent to the land of the England, the oppressors of the Puritans and Pilgrims, yet at the “appointed time” assured the survival of the Pilgrim and Puritan patriots of the Plymouth Bay Colony in the year of 1620.

You are Israel!
The History was Revealed by the Prophets and Confirmed by Archeology, the Judgment of the God of Israel was Sealed as they were Exiled to Khurasan in Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan. They Disappeared into the Mists of History as they Migrated in Waves up through Georgia through the Caucasus and Followed the Tracks of their Cousin Dan who left his Name on the Rivers of his Passage (Don, Dniester, Dnieper, and the Danube) as they Migrated Northwestward towards Denmark. They Erupted into Northern Europe in the 3rd Century BCE as the Royal Scythians, Celts, Cymrics, Cimmerians, Goths, Angles, Saxons, Ostrogoths, Visigoths and Frisians.
They Populated the Lands of Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark), the Isles of the West (Britain, Ireland, and Scotland) the Lowlands (Netherlands and Belgium), the Colonies of Great Britain (United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa) plus the Lands of Northern France, and Germany. These today are the Lost Tribes of Israel!
