Isaiah 17:1-14 (parts) – “Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer are deserted; they will be for flocks, which will lie down, and none will make them afraid.
The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the Lord of hosts.”
The Jewish event in Israel was hosted during a festive meal on the 8th day of Succot, a special day called Simchat Torah. This was when the Torah is taken from the Holy Ark and the worshippers leave their seats to dance and sing with the Torah scrolls in joyous celebration that could last for several hours in the wee hours of the morning.
As the meal was concluded the renowned Rabbi, HaRav Sholom Berger closed the evening meal with words of urgency. He spoke about the imminent arrival of Melekh HaMelekh (King Messiah) as the Fall Festival of Succot was about over; hinting that this will be the last Succot before King Messiah will be revealed.
To those that attended, the Mishkolitz Rebbe unveiled a new and unique interpretation concerning the upcoming Gog and Magog War, in Christian literature known as Armageddon. As he spoke he hinted that the realms of Jewish prophetic interpretations were being challenged concerning the “War” called GogUMogog. Yet he spoke with the substance and tone of his voice as he offered a lot of reassurance to his people while the dark clouds of war were surrounding the tiny State of Israel; starting on Rosh Hashanah 5776 in the fall of 2015.
Contrary to many of the interpretations of the Gog-Magog War that were hidden over the centuries by the sages of Judah, the modern view as interpreted from biblical sources describing this “War of all Wars” depicted that the central focus of this war was to be located in the lands comprising the State of Israel; centralized around the capital of Jerusalem. Yet this esteemed Sage of Judah offered new hints that this Jerusalem centric view may not be physically true as he spoke:
Rabbi Sholom Berger – “Whoever even tries to seek the truth about what is going on around us understands that God is bringing us towards the revelation of the Kingdom of the Messiah and towards Redemption, and the redeeming of our souls.
This winter, there will continue to be upheavals in the world and everything will be for the good of Israel!”
As the Jewish people began the High Holidays in the Jewish year of 5776, with the first day on Rosh Hashanah. At that very time the nations of the world were already preparing to surround the little State of Israel, seeking to snuff out her very existence.
It was at this moment of time that the Mishkolitz Rebbe spoke of the war that was already escalating in Syria in full force. The military jets of Putin’s Russian Federation blasted the sites controlled by ISIL with great fury as the Islamic State and Caliphate continued to spread across the Syrian landscape.
Nearby in the Land of Israel, the One-G-d of Israel in His magnificent mercy revealed to the Mishkolitz Rebbe that the Syrian war was a form of HaShem’s mercy upon the people and the Land of Israel.
In spite of the common understanding today, the prophetic War of God and Magog is a form of G-d divine mercy upon Israel. Regardless of what is spoken of in the bible, according to the pshat, or the “plain and literal meaning of a text” or verse, according to Rabb Sholom Berger, the Almighty One of Israel is in the process of “sweetening the judgment upon the State of Israel”. As HaRav Sholom Berger Shlita stated:
The Mishkolitz Rebbe – “My heart tells me that God has mercy on Israel. Despite what the prophets have prophesized, that “the War of Gog and Magog needs to be inside Jerusalem, yet God is sweetening the judgment and is making this war happen in Syria.”
The Mishkolitz Rebbe then continued his revelations to his people concerning what he had said:
Rabbi Sholom Berger – “The proof of this, as it is brought by the sages of blessed memory (Sifri Numbers Chapter 1), ‘In the future, the gates of Jerusalem will reach Damascus.’ In that case, instead of the war being inside Jerusalem, and the people of Israel suffering as a result, God has extended Jerusalem to include Damascus in order that the enormous war will be there, like we are seeing now.
“Russia has entered into Syria with great strength and even China has announced that they will be doing so also. This will apparently lead to the Third World War with the United States and its allies and to horrifying spilling of blood until they will all be destroyed.”
The rabbi called on Jews around the world to unite and take heed of God’s commandments.
Rabbi Sholom Berger – “There remains for us to be united among ourselves and to be wary of internal disputes and to be careful not to speak slander about each other because the Messiah (Maschiach ben Yosef) is already here and he hears everything. It is also important for us to learn Torah with great enthusiasm, as it is written by the Or HaChayim in the portion of Titsaveh, ‘Because Moses does not desire redemption with those who neglect Torah study. And soon we will merit seeing miracles and wonders this year when the Messiah is revealed through righteousness and loving-kindness. Amen!”
Back in the year of 2011, the then Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in power. During the same year, the Mishkolitz Rebbe has made these international headlines with this revelation. He announced, at the end of that year, that no military strike on Iran would be necessary to topple the Iranian presidency.
The Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who weekly continued to threaten Israel with nuclear destruction, was predicted by the Mishkolitz Rebbe Sholom Berger that he would soon fall from power. The Rebbe compared Ahmadinejad to the ancient Biblical villain called Haman, who, when his time had come, fell from power swiftly and with great drama as preserved in the historical biblical text called the Sefer of Esther.
So, today to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, wherever you are living around the world, you soon will become part of the Great Aliyah of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, also returning back to your ancestral homeland in Shomron, Israel.
They later crossed over the Bosporus towards regions of Turkey, Greece Czechoslovakia, and Hungary in route up the Danube River, first traveled by their cousins, the Danites, whose homeland eventually became Denmark.
All of the Israelites who were part of the Royal Viking Israelites Scythians in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Then we include their colonies and possessions around the world. These included the United States of America, Canada, Australia, India, South Africa, and numerous colonies in North-western Africa plus Central and South America.
If your heart begins to palpitate, then you are beginning to perceive the august perspective that the reunification of the House of Judah and the Lost House of Israel is soon; very soon.
Every day from now towards the next High Holiday Season in the fall of 2016, we should keep our personal, visual and spiritual insight focused on the fact that when we hold our hands out in personal support with loving kindness to the Jewish people, we are hastening the coming and the inauguration of King Messiah (Melekh HaMaschiach) and the redemption of All Israel (Klal Yisrael).

At the time of the end the G-d of Israel will use all of His Chosen Ones of Israel to complete His divine destiny for Planet Earth.

“Aunt Lillian” a true Mother of Israel at Ninety Years
This picture could be anyone’s grandmother or great-grandmother whose ancestral homelands came from the ancient forested land in the Northern Regions of Gaul where today, the Nations that host the Lost Tribes of Israel claim their homelands. They were a rugged people, tenacious in their beliefs, and impervious to the changing times around them.
They wandered Eurasia and left behind their gorgeous handiworks as the Scythians of the North living in the Southern Regions of Russia, they became the Celts and Cymrics, who have given us so much poetic literature, religious and Davidian symbolisms (Harp of King David), a sense of adventure, and a rugged persistence in the faith of their forefathers. Then there were the fierce Germanic tribes; the Ostrogoths, the Visigoths, and the Vandals, who shredded the Legions of the Caesars to the core and toppled the city of Rome.
Surprise as it may seem, these Israelites remained very tribal, kept a vast archives of their Hebrew tribal identities, and always, in spite of their apostate ways, knew of a Creator G-d who governed the laws of nature, and was the architect of the moral laws of the Torah that kept civilizations intact.
They were a people as fervent in their Israelite apostasy in the Northern Territories of the Land of Israel as they were in their affirmation of the Jewish Messiah, whose sole mission to Planet Earth was to find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.
Strange as it may seem, for so many who see an angry G-d of the Old Testament, or whose ancestors worshipped angry Roman Titans whose morality was more despicable than the vagrants of their own social cultures, the children of the Cymrics and the Kelts were in the 1st century singing anthems to the Druidic G-d of Creation and His Messiah Yesu.
They left for us a legacy of truisms called “Triads” that upheld the integrity of a morality culture where family was supreme, genealogies gave your depth of your ancestral past, and only subservient to One Creator G-d of the Universes.
Looking at my “aunt” one would consider that she was a Patrician mother in a culture loving society, only to learn that here was a true American Pioneer who followed the lure of unsettled homelands in Southern regions of Texas. She was not “pleasure loving” person but she was a pleasure to always be around.
They settled in a mixed culture along the Lower Rio Grande River of Mayan/Aztec descendants whose only subsidence were deep roots in the love of the land. There they lived with non-air conditioned wooden sided farmhouses, no more than a 1000 square feet to house always six or eight, for a while they only had an outhouse, until septic tanks brought them the best of farming civilization.
Their barns put together with left over tin and wood siding that kept a motley of Jersey cows for milking and an occasional horse. Milk was fresh from the udder with cream hanging from the lids, with an assortment of vegetables and fruit that were always fresh.
Every night one always knew the menu, for every day of the week had a different but simple hearty fare where Jewish kashrut cooking was not comprehended, though we knew about the festivals yet “clean meats” were only served to guests. The major proteins were beans with homemade gluten hand wrung from flour with brownish tinged patties, and bread fresh baked with intoxicating aromas, milk in the raw, homemade butter, and chocolate chip cookies.
When we look today at that culture, how primitive it seems, but to Israelite descendants awaiting the Messiah, it was supreme. Our Hebrew-Judaic culture that we had such an affinity for, told us of a G-d and His Messiah that we have grown to adore. Today, we look to the past, on how our lives today are in disarray, these simple cultures we perceive may become the clues to our future survival, where we may soon be escaping to our own Red Sea.
As the prophets have spoken and warned us of imagery from the past, we also sense that we may have a future, not much different than our ancestral past. The apocalyptic pictures in our future speak of days like that of yore, when great plagues toppled the greatest of nations that sent our ancestral forefathers to the Promised Land of mystical lore.
In the days of climatic upheavals, as volcanoes and earthquake spout and rumble when 2012 races by and the End of the Mayan world age confronts us as fiery bolides fall from the sky. Our computers and I-Pods will not be too useful when our pantries are bare and we have no clue how to make simple bread.
How many of us moderns, know how to feed and milk a cow, how to skin a goat or raise a lamb? How many of you, have raised even chickens, where every morsel from the kitchen had a mouth to feed on the outside?
Are you capable of riding a horse to the local village store where beans, potatoes, and corn are the only staples of simple fare and there will be no more? Do you have the rudiments of caring for your car, or even walking, much less riding a tractor in the local collective garden, where all mouths get a share.
The movies may be few, and concerts rarely come around, yet could we survive the disasters, where stars fall to the ground. My aunt would survive, for her simple smile and happiness was a soothing elixir for all to enjoy. The food was always there, even though it was simple fare.
There was no complaining as we sat around for evening worship, considering words from the Divine and singing sweet melodies as the pump organ swelled forth with melodious air, for we were all family and together, our lives were much better life than many others around.
Down the dirt road to the south, only three miles, lay the border river that separated the Land of the Free and Mexico beyond. This little road was a thoroughfare for the Mexican needy immigrants coming from the south. For here they could wade the lazy river near her terminus and set out walking north to their Promised Land.
Everyone who stopped by, received some food to help them beyond and with a grateful smile, they knew that here was an angel from on high. The doors were never locked, as the children slept on screened porches, to kick off covers in humid darkness, or brush off frost on bitter cold mornings.
As I think of our soon to come future, where the prophets have foretold, that apocalyptic catastrophes will be reminiscent of the Exodus of old. Today, our political leaders seem like Pharaohs, who knew not the Josephs of old. They would rather leave us in bondage, to pamper the globalists abroad.
If you have a great aunt or a great grandmother like mine, you might want to sit down for a chat. Plead with them, give us your wisdom on how to survive and still be good representatives of the Divine. Every lesson we can learn today, when our pensions, and social security checks have gone astray, as the forces of darkness surround us and we yearn for the angels of light.
I imagine my Israelite “aunty” would still put her arms around, and with her soothing eyes she’s say, G-d made you in His Image and He will not let you shrivel up and die. For you are a “chosen one” a “Spiritual Israelite” we might say, but little did we realize how true it would be in that future day. For now we know the real truth for it’s not “wannabe Jews” that we seek to be, for we are true blooded Israelites with a divine destiny and a Messiah that we will literally see. So my aunt, would quietly say, keep looking up, though the heaven may be in array for the G-d of Creation is watching to protect us in the palms of His hands.
And though I may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, my forefathers, will be with me. He offers me a promise, not just ethereal mansions above, but a world that is to come, that is agreed by all the prophets of old, that in that life, my “Cup will overflow” for “surely goodness and mercy shall follow our lives, as we dwell in the House of the Messiah forever.
May the G-d of Israel bless you my aunt, for your gentle smile hasn’t changed in five decades of my memory. Your simple home had doors that always creaked, and boards in the floor that groaned as we walked in our sleep. It was a place where every student who wanted to be educated about our Father above, and though they felt they were homeless, they could always find a bed and a home.
Though you had three children, my cousins who I loved to play. We loved creeping through tunnels made in haystacks, or swimming in field canals just after a strong summer rain.
There were no doubt a dozen “children” who still call you “mom”, when your home always became their home on the run. It reminds me of our larger tribal family, also a dozen and no more. Strange as life will be as we thought the Jews were all alone, soon there will be a larger family of hundreds of millions more for we are the Lost Tribes of Israel who are waiting to find our future new home.
Aunt Lillian expired on 2/6/2016 at the Age of 95 years of age. She left a legacy of helping innumerable young scholars to receive a religious education and a moral foundation for their lives.
At the time of the end the G-d of Israel will use all of His Chosen Ones of Israel to complete His divine destiny for Planet Earth. Most of these chosen ones will have no idea of their chosen destiny. They will become the prime actors in the final act of the “Drama of the Ages”. In that day when the Messiah of Israel does reveal himself, also will be revealed all those whose destiny were linked to that august moment in human history.

Redemption will be Delayed and Come with Harsh Catastrophes and Destruction unless the State of Israel begins a Building Program in the Settlements of Shomron and Judea for the Jews in the Diaspora and the Mega Return of the 2-3 Billion of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
Song of Songs 2:12 – “The blossoms have appeared in the land; the time of singing has arrived and the call of the turtledove is heard in our land.”
There is no doubt that the most authoritative Rabbi in the last 250 years was the esteemed rabbi of Vilnius, Lithuania; Rabbi Eliyahu Shlomo Zalman, called the Vilna Gaon. Without the vision of the mission and persistence of the Genius of Vilnius, most spiritual visionaries of the future would still be in the dark ages of the future messianic consciousness.
Was it not he, the Holy Gaon, who was instrumental in creating the atmosphere for the ingathering of the Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe to settle in Jerusalem and the region of Galilee? This sacred mission started the Jewish settlement movement in the early 1800s.
The Gaon passed away in the year 1797, in which he himself never would see the Land of Israel in his lifetime. Yet, it was his disciples and the doctrine of Vilna Gaon that gave his disciples the courage to endanger their lives on the long and perilous journey to the Holy Land. There under many trials and tribulations, the resettling and rebuilding of a poverty stricken and desolate land began.
It was in the year of 1808 that the first caravan with 70 people including 14 of the personal disciples of the Vilna Gaon arrived in the Land of Israel on the 5th of Elul 5509 (September 1809).
During the same era at the end of the 18th century, the spark of messianic enlightenment brought numerous of the disciples of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov, who himself like the Vilna Gaon were unsuccessful of entering the Land of Promise. Yet the disciples of the Gaon began the “settlement movement” along the Sea of Galilee at Tzafat, Tiberius and further south into Hebron.
In the year of 1812, another seven of the Gaon’s disciples led by Rabbi Hillel departed from Byela-Russia for Jerusalem to begin its settlement of the Jewish people in G-d’s Zion in Jerusalem. Upon their arrival they found only twenty Sephardic Jews and nine Ashkenazi Jews living in Jerusalem among the non-Jewish population. As Rabbi Joel David Bakst wrote in his seminal book titled, “The Secret Doctrine of the Vilna Gaon, Volume 1”, we read:
Rabbi Joel David Bakst- “On their arrival they found only twenty Sephardic and nine Ashkenazi Jews living among the non-Jewish population. R. Hillel and his comrades immediately set about establishing the necessary institutions vital to Jewish communal life – charity funds, a hospital, a yeshiva and a civil guard unit. The tests that awaited them were enormous.
They suffered from severe food shortages, roving bands of marauder, diseases and plagues, and libelous defamation from their non-Jewish neighbors.
In addition, communication with the Diaspora was extremely difficult. This meant that they were almost totally isolated from the rest of world Jewry, which was their one source of financial support. It was only the Gaon’s powerful vision of the messianic destiny of their mission that gave this first group of pioneers the strength to persist and overcome, against all odds.
Finally when word reached home that R. Hillel and a handful of men had succeeded in resettling Jerusalem, a great fervor was generated that led many Russian Jews to attempt further immigration to the Holy Land. R. Hillel passed away in 1838 at the age of eighty. To world Jewry, he left a well-established Jerusalem community. To his family he entrusted the collection of writings that constituted the doctrine of the Kol Ha Tor.”
It would be over a century later before the Balford Agreement in 1917 started the international process of providing a Nation-state for the Jewish people as their homeland in the land of Israel. In this era, the Rothschilds were the primary benefactors in the “settlement movement.”
It would be 140 years later in 1948, after the first of disciples of the Vilna Gaon immigrated to Israel in 1808 when the State of Israel declared its “Declaration of Independence” on May 14, 1948. On May 11, 1949, the General Assembly of the United Nations approved by a two-thirds majority the application to admit Israel to the United Nations under United Nations General Assembly Resolution 273.
Jewish Biblical Year 5000 was the Year of 1240 CE when the Roman Catholic Christian Crusaders were driven from the Holy Land
One of the amazing concepts in the rise of the Modern State of Israel was its divine institution of time according to the Cosmic Clock instituted in the counsel of Heaven.
Today (January 2016) we have already entered into the first three months of the Jewish biblical year of 5776; a Year of Jubilee. According to the sages of Judah the Biblical Years of mankind since Adam in the Garden of Eden was to be 5000 years.
In the 6000th year, the Messianic Era of Spiritual Enlightenment would stream down upon Planet Earth when the “Gates of Heaven will be opened and the Melekh HaMaschiach (King Messiah) will usher in the Era of the Great Shabbat with the total unification of all humankind with the One-G-d of Israel.
Was this a coincidence that the Jewish 5000th biblical year of mankind arrived just as the Christian Common Era year of 1240 CE ended, when the era of the Roman Catholic Christian Crusader’s (1096 to 1291 CE) era of desecration collapsed when the Catholic Citadel of Acre fell and the crusaders left the Holy Land in disgrace?
Jewish Biblical Year 5250included the Years of 1490 - 1492 when Roman Catholic Inquisition was halted and the Spanish monarchy of Ferdinand and Isabella exiled all the Jews in Spain on the 9th of Av, Shabbat, in 1492.
Two hundred fifty years later in the Jewish Year of 5250 in the years of 1490-1492 CE, the infamous Spanish Inquisition ravaged thousands of Jewish lives under the rule of Ferdinand and Isabela. On the 9th of Av 1492, all the remaining Jews in Spain were sent into exile.
This exile included the Jewish Kabbalist, Christopher Columbus who left the coastline of Spain with his 3 ships, the Santa Maria, the Nina and the Pinta, anchored out of sight of the mainland of Spain while he and his Jewish sailors and Jewish investors kept the Seventh-day Shabbat. Then “they sailed the ocean blue in 1492”.
Jewish biblical year of 5500 was the year of 1740 when the Vilna Gaon at the Age of 20 years old, known as the Genius (Gaon), became the most imminent Jewish rabbi in Europe.
Then in the Jewish Year of 1720, one of the greatest genius in Europe was born. Within the first years of his life, he was quickly recognized to be a child prodigy. Below the age of seven, he had already become a “master” of the Oral and the Written Torah when he was already giving lectures and speeches all over Europe that astounded the audiences.
At the age of nine, he began the studies of the Jewish Kabbalah and within 6 months he had mastered all the documents of the eminent Kabbalist rabbi, the esteemed Rabbi Yitzhak Luria who was the preeminent rabbinic scholar of the Kabbalah and the understanding of the Sefirot of the Divine.
By the age of thirteen, the young Gaon (Genius) could not find any rabbinic teachers who knew more than he so withdrew and studied on his own. His discipline was very rigorous as he was known to study twenty-two hours a day with only 30 minute naps at any given time. By the age of 20, he was the most renowned rabbi in Lithuania and all Europe that he withdrew and began to study in isolation.
Was it a divine coincidence that when the Cosmic Clock struck the Biblical year of 5500, the greatest Jewish rabbi of the 16th to the 19th century era was preparing to launch the first of the great ingatherings of the Jewish people back to the Land of Israel?
This ingathering of the Jewish people continues today to escalate, first precipitated by the ISIS attacks in Paris, France in Europe in 2015. It is also destined to escalate into massive proportions as early as September 2016 as the Year of Jubilee closes and the year of inauguration of King Messiah begins on Rosh Hashanah 5777 (2017) now anticipated as when the Future “Era of Messianic Enlightenment” will begin.
What has occurred in the Land of Israel over the last quarter (250 years) of the last millennium (1000 CE to 2000 CE) has been the steady and progressive settling of the Land of Israel. The divine modeling of the future “World to Come” will only come if, as the sages of old have proclaimed that the Jewish Israelites will continue to “build, build and build”.
Today, the settlers of the mountainous region of Shomron and Judea are the true “Patriots and Pioneers of Israel” today. Their futuristic insight should be the dreams of all Jews and Lost Ten Tribe Israelites on Planet Earth today.
Their lives and futuristic goals have been to support, “build” and create a new type of cultural ambience that has been progressively spiritualizing the now dominating the cultural Jewish society in the State of Israel as the rest of the world declines in decadence and destruction.
An Entire City called Harish is rising from Jewish soil under the mantle of the Messiah son of Joseph (Maschiach ben Yosef) of arising from below preparing for the vast influx in the near future of the aliyah of the Jews in the Diaspora but also the Greater Aliyah of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
Today as the “Last Generation” is preparing for the arrival of King Messiah (Melekh HaMaschiach) we now have the advantage of looking into the past eras. It began in the midst of the 17th century when the Gaon of Vilna advanced the fundamental principles of what would happen before King Messiah arrives to rule Planet Earth.
The principle foundation upon which the “Genius”, the Gaon of Vilna based the entire messianic process was the ancient herald: “Od Yoseph Chai! Or Joseph live on!” (Genesis 45:26). The Divine premise was; Guela, or the “Final Redemption will not come until “Klal Yisrael” or “All 12-Tribed Israel” are redeemed.
So at the threshold of the It’chalta (the Initial Preparatory Period preceding Redemption), it is an imperative that everyone of us will learn well the 156 qualities, aspects, code names, and segulot (special strategies) of the Mashiach ben Yoseph.
It is also necessary that we learn the mysteries of the It’chalta, the wandering pathways of the Messiah son of Joseph (Maschiach ben Yosef) that are alluded to through the holy writings of the Gaon of Vilna, so with the help of heaven, we will then be prepared to discern the path and the proper actions that lie before us in the light of the teachings of our master of our master who walks and illuminates common pathway in the light [of the teachings] of our master who walks and illuminates (our way} before us, until the “noonday sun” (i.e., until the “Messianic light all its radiance.”
This era began as a renaissance of messianic spirituality called the meshicha de'at-chalta (the Mashiach of the beginning). Out of it rose the emanations from the cultural milieu of humanity below by the angelic ministry of the one called the Maschiach ben Yosef (Messiah son of Joseph); the esteemed rabbi of Vilna, Lithuania, Rabbi Isaac ben Shlomo be Zalman.
According to the Vilna Gaon, at the “end of days” there will be seven fundamental phases of the Al’chalta. These are:
First would be the rebuilding of Jerusalem, G-d’s Holy Zion
Second will be the ingathering of the exiles; the Jews in the Diaspora and the ingathering of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
The third is the re-flourishing of the Land of Israel by planting the mountains of Shomron and Judea with forests, orchards, vineyards, fields of flowers, hot houses for consumable vegetables, and by planting settlements all over the Land of Israel for the redemption and ingathering of the exiles.
The fourth the improvement of character traits living lives as ones created in the image of G-d.
The fifth to zealously yearn to learn the hidden aspects of the Torah.
The sixth, the study of the Seven Sciences elevating them as “Sacred Technologies” that will be elevating the Wisdom of Israel by the Sanctification of the Name of G-d in the eyes of the 70 Nations of the world.
The seventh, the Revelation of the Wisdom of Israel in the eyes of the Nations while re-flourishing the entire Land of Israel with gardens and fields, forests and lakes, orchards and the sacred husbandry of Gan Eden.
Let us now look at the practicality of one of the most recent of communications from the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel and how this one event can be a trigger to stimulate the “ingathering of the exiles of Judah and the Lost Israelites.”
It was on Sunday, December 20, 2015, the Cabinet of Prime Minister Netanyahu approved NIS 1 Billion for the building of a new city in Israel called Harish. This is to be a multi-cultural city that will be open for the integration of thousands of young Jewish families over the next few years.
Located 50 minutes from Tel Aviv, 35 minutes from Haifa and 15 minutes from Hadera, this new city of 50,000 people will eventually grow to house 100,000 people, a city created upon Israeli soil, the first in many years. As Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu spoke:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – “This is an outstanding and unparalleled Zionist act. A new city has not been established in many years. This will be a new city along the lines of Modi'in; it will be the beginnings of a city of 50,000 people. I believe that it will grow far beyond this in the future.
We are in the midst of a great momentum of construction. Our goal is to advance development and demand and not the opposite. Tens of thousands of apartments are being built around the country, and Israel is in the midst of a great momentum of construction. We will continue to build. We will continue to do on behalf of the citizens of Israel.”
The next city to be built, may it be the prayer of the Prime Minister of Israel that this city will be for the “G-d of Israel.” As in America, Prime Minister Netanyahu would be called a “Johnny come lately” not reaching and pushing for the development of the Land of Israel. The present destiny of Netanyahu is that he must come on board to fulfill his role as the secular leader of the State of Israel and build, build, and build, so that redemption will come with great haste. As Destination Yisrael continued:
It was three years ago that Destination Yisrael wrote in February 2013, the following article, “The World Fixation on Israeli Settlements: Which Israeli Prime Minister was the most Pro-Settlement builder?”. The following facts at that time suggest a certain reality, Melekh HaMaschiach (King Messiah) would be here by now if the citizens of Israel had Prime Ministers that were believers in HaShem’s divine mandate; “Build, Plant, Grow, Settle, and raise your families on Jewish-Israelite soil given by the G-d of Israel to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Which Prime Minister built the Most Settlement Homes and When?
Rank Prime Minister Party Years Construction
Ehud Barak Labor 1999-2001 (2) 4,292
Benjamin Netanyahu Likud 1996-1999 (3) 3,194
Shimon Peres Labor 1995-1996 (1) 2,443
Ariel Sharon Likud 2001-2006 (5) 1,826
Ehud Olmert Kadima 2006-2009 (3) 1,741
Benjamin Netanyahu Likud 2009-2012 (3-4) 1,168
Today, the rise of the city of Harish, a dream for over 5 years, is now akin to the earlier construction of one of Israel’s newest cities called Modi’in. Harish today already has 300 households, yet approximately 9,000 housing units are currently under various stages of construction.
About 2,000 additional housing units will be marketed as part of the 'affordable housing' campaign. In the first stage about 12,000 housing units will be built and in the following stages this will be expanded to approximately 24,000 units. Though Harish is not a “settlement home” in the disputed regions of Shomron and Judea, s we shall see, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu is destined to add another 24,000 homes in the region of Harish.
Harish will be a multi-cultural city that will be open to the integration of thousands of young Jewish families over the next few years.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – “This is an outstanding and unparalleled Zionist act. A new city has not been established in many years. This will be a new city along the lines of Modi'in; it will be the beginnings of a city of 50,000 people. I believe that it will grow far beyond this in the future.
We are in the midst of a great momentum of construction. Our goal is to advance development and demand and not the opposite. Tens of thousands of apartments are being built around the country, and Israel is in the midst of a great momentum of construction. We will continue to build. We will continue to do on behalf of the citizens of Israel.”
According to the city mayor, Yitzhak Keshet, the once sleepy town of 1,000 Jewish residents, is already being transformed into a pluralistic cultural milieu of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jews, Secular Israelis, former Soviet immigrants, Ethiopian immigrants and even Arab residents.
One can drive 45 minutes to the south to Tel Aviv on Israel’s Route 6 or a 15 minute drive east to Caesarea along Israel’s security fence with the West Bank, the rocky ocher of Israel continues to welcome new pioneers and patriots of Israel to their new residences.
According to Harish’s mayor, Yitzhak Keshet, the new city is now 20% percent ultra-Orthodox and will eventually be 10% while 35% of the residents will be National Religious Jews and the rest of the residents 30% will be secular Jews.
So now we ask, what if, within a year, the new awakening and the fear of Islamic domination of Europe, creates a clamor from the fleeing Jews from France secondary to the ISIS terrorists attacks in Paris surrounding regions, could escalate upwards to 475,000 to 600,000 French Jews seeking aliyah “return” back to the Land of Israel?
Will this also be a part of the Divine intervention that may cause a dramatic escalation of upwards from 5.7 million to 10 million Jews fleeing their present residence in the United States (5.7-6.8 million Jews) and Canada as they seek aliyah (“return”) back to their Jewish homeland in the State of Israel?
What then will happen, if the new awakening from the Christians in the West, descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel predominately in the United States, Canada and the Northern European countries, begin to demand that their prophetic destiny (Ezekiel 36) at the “End of Days” will be to live in the lands of their forefathers in Shomron and Judea, in the central mountainous regions of the State of Israel as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel?
Are not the Lost Ten Tribes of Ten Israel destined by the prophetic messages from prophets of Israel and Judah (Ezekiel, Isaiah and Jeremiah) to return in mass, from Northern Europe, as the descendants from the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that were once exiled to live first in the surroundings of the Caspian and the Black Sea before their vast migrated to Northern Europe, now call the “lands of their habitation?”
The best of the antiquarian historians agree that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel later settled in the Isles of the West (Ireland, Scotland and Britain/Wales, the Scandinavian nations of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland to the North, and the southern tribes of Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, and Switzerland to the south.
The Almighty One of Israel will send King Messiah (Melekh HaMaschiach) with great haste called “Ahishena” as upwards to 10 million Jewish people coupled with the prayers and the support of 2-3 billion of the “Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel” will return home in aliyah with the physical effort on their part to “rise up from below” with their new spiritual identity for the State of Israel and return back home in aliyah? Then their lost tribal brothers and sisters, The Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel” as upwards to 2-3 billion of them, are also returning as the “Lost Cousins” yet now physically and spiritually living in in support of the Torah, and the Rabbinic Sages of Judah called the “Mechoquek” along with their new divine yearning to identity with the Jewish peoples, their nation, their G-d and their Torah.
Song of Songs 2:12 – “The house of the Zamir (Turtle Dove Songbird) has arrived.”
So, here is the Divine reality. The Almighty One of Israel will send King Messiah (Melekh HaMaschiach) with great haste called “Ahishena” to complete the reclamation, restoration, and the redemption of the upwards of the 10 Million Jewish people living in America and Europe coupled with the prayers with the support of 2-3 billion of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. The “Lost Sheep” will “rise up from below” in their own free will, in the final era of the Mashiach ben Yosef.
With their new spiritual identity, “We are family”, they as the once lost tribal brothers and sisters now with their arms wide open will turn to their Jewish brothers and sisters in loving kindness. They will discover the glorious acts of redemption as the final restoration is complete and the G-d of Israel will unite them as “One Stick” in the Hand of the One-G-d of Israel (Ezekiel 37).
The “Flood gates of Heaven will open up from Above” and the “spiritual elevation of all the tribes from below” now living in the State of Israel will now “Sanctify the Holy Name of HaShem”. Their “New Hearts” in which each one will receive will result in HaShem writing his Torah upon our hearts, as He did upon Moshe’s heart on the mount called Sinai, and instantaneously the Holy Hebrew language will be understood within our hearts and spoken with our lips in praise and adoration of El Shaddai, the Almighty One of Israel.
With a new allegiance with the Rabbinic Sages of Judah called the “Mechoquek” the “New Nation of Israel” will erupt into the “New Messianic Era”. This will also “stimulate the opening of the gates of heaven above” as the Almighty One of Israel will respond with great haste, “Ahishena”, and bring the “Messianic Era of King Messiah” to a new physical (3rd Dimension) and spiritual (4th Dimensional) Reality on Planet Earth.
The rebellion of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel will be over. They will now be identified with their tribal brothers and sisters as the “Jews and Joes” and will be reunited into “One Family”, “One Stick in the Hand of HaShem”, and the “Nation of Israel” will once again be under the rule of “One United Monarchy”.
Song of Solomon 2:12 – “The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land (KJV)”
Song of Songs 2:12 – “The house of the Zamir (Turtle Dove Songbird) has arrived. (TaNaKh)”
************
At the time of the end the G-d of Israel will use all of His Chosen Ones of Israel to complete His divine destiny for Planet Earth. Most of these chosen ones will have no idea of their chosen destiny. They will become the prime actors in the final act of the “Drama of the Ages”. In that day when the Messiah of Israel does reveal himself, also will be revealed all those whose destiny were linked to that august moment in human history.

The Supreme Church Council of the Russian Orthodox Church announced on November 23, 2015, three days before the Americans were celebrating their Thanksgiving Holiday that the “Times of the Messiah” had now arrived. This directive came under the authority of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and was formally presented to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Was it a coincidence that this urgent message that came from Patriarch Kirill was then presented one week later by President Vladimir Putin to American President Barak Obama? At that time, they had a private non-scheduled meeting while both of the leaders were in Paris for the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference held on the dates of November 30- December 12, 2015.
This meeting came because there was a greater urgency in not engaging America and Russia militarily and then engulf the world into GogUMagog III (World War III), while the rest of the Leaders of the world were absorbed in their self-righteous seeking to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius by 2100, a temperature comparable to the earlier Industrial Era; before serious climate catastrophes which they felt could happen will happen.
What we witnessed during this Thanksgiving season were two world leaders interested in mending bridges after the November 24, 2015 downing of an Aerospace Forces Sukhoi Su-24M bomber aircraft that was earlier shot down on September 24, 2015 by a Turkish Air Force F-16 that was operating near the Turkey-Syrian border.
At the same time of this catastrophe. It was noticed that the Turkish American made Air Force F-16 were being directed by their US Air Force CIA flight controllers that were operating out of Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base. In essence, the CIA operatives were “controlling/operating” this Turkish-NATO Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jet.
The reason they were there to begin with was the fact that they were supposed to be photographing the evidence of a billion dollar “oil smuggling operation” that was transporting oil from the ISIS Islamist controlled oil depots along the Euphrates to Turkey during a reconnaissance mission.
Today, President Recep Tayyip Ergodan is seeking to restore the remnants of the former Ottoman Empire. He lives in a 1,000 room presidential compound nestled in 50 acres of forest lands that was once the private estate of Turkey’s founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk; that includes underground tunnels, and guarded and protected by massive anti-espionage technology and costing only $350 million.
Ahmet Davutoglu, the former foreign minister, is Turkey’s prime minister. But Mr. Erdogan is the one on the phone with President Obama discussing Turkey’s role in combating the Islamic State while the White House has to remind American diplomats to also include Mr. Davutoglu in discussions between the two countries.
Turkey’s continued refusal to allow the United States to use its bases for airstrikes against the Islamic State’s forces in Syria and Iraq — and insistence that the coalition target the government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria — has laid bare deep divisions between the two countries that have prompted analysts to question Turkey’s reliability as an ally, and some have even suggested that Turkey be expelled from NATO.
The relationship with Washington has long been uneasy. In 2003, Turkey denied the United States the use of its territory to invade Iraq. In 2010, the Turks infuriated Washington by voting against United Nations sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program, and by working with Brazil to broker a proposed deal with Iran.
Early in his career, as mayor of Istanbul, Mr. Erdogan was jailed for reciting an Islamic poem in public. In his early years as prime minister, with the Turkish military still safeguarding the country’s secular order, he kept in check his desire for a greater role for religion in public life, while pushing for membership in the European Union, a pursuit that is now stalled.
In more recent years, with the military having been neutered through a series of sensational trials, he has become a more overtly Islamist leader. In the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings, Turkey sought to play a greater role in shaping regional affairs, supporting Islamist movements, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, which was voted into power in Egypt, and then ousted, dealing a painful blow to Turkey’s ambitions.
Not only that, this illegal oil smuggling ring was approved by the NATO ally, the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Ergodan while the undercover “ISIS Oil for Money-laundering scheme was controlled by his son, Biliam Ergodan. As this report continued:
Sorcha Faal - “Sensing no threat from this CIA operated Turkish Air Force F-16, an Aerospace Forces Su-24M bomber returning to its Syrian airbase with its two Sukhoi Su-30 fighter plane escorts “allowed/authorized” them to accelerate towards their base due to low fuel issues and increased its flight altitude to 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) to prevent attacks from ground based fired missiles as per its procedures.
Immediately upon the Su-24M reaching the altitude of 6,000 meters, this report grimly states, and without its Su-30 escorts able to protect it, the CIA directed Turkish Air Force F-16 immediately went to hypersonic speed and fired three air-to-air missiles at the Aerospace Forces “target” destroying this Federation bomber and causing its two pilots, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshkov and Captain Konstantin Murahtin, to safely eject from their now destroyed plane.”
It was only two weeks earlier that Obama and Putin met at the G20 summit in Turkey’s Antalya where they had two meetings and one of them lasted for around 20 minutes.Earlier, the Russian and US presidents had long talks in New York in late September on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly’s 70thAnniversary session.
So what are we witnessing? Was it a coincidence that the His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, was informing his protector and benefactor, Russian President Vladimir Putin that Planet Earth was entering into the final chapter of this world’s history called the Ikveta deMeshika, or the “Footsteps of the Messiah”?
There would come a day in the future, when an “arousal from below” would begin with the elevation human consciousness would come from the world’s population. As the excitement swells around the world, a new reality begins to establish its spiritual manifestation that the “Cosmic Era of the Messiah” is here.
Here will be the day, when the Mashiach ben Yosef (Messiah son of Joseph), the “Messiah of this generation” will be revealed. This will come during the “Last Days” when the “Final Generation” will set the stage for the “Era of Messianic Enlightenment.”
According to the sages of Judah, the “arousal from below”, that means you and I yearning for the Messiah to come, will be prompted by the Holy Divine One as the “floodgates of heaven open from above”. At that time, according to recent rabbinic sages, we will welcome King Messiah (Melekh HaMashiach) in the Jewish year of 5777 (5,000 + 777; the number of mankind plus the Signature of G-d) that will occur just after the Jubilee Year of 5776 (2016). Then the “Era of King Messiah”, the Maschiach ben David (Messiah son of David) will set up his throne to rule all of Planet Earth.
How then will this happen? To find out, we go to the Chazal, the rabbanim of past eras and ponder the increasing avalanche of Orthodox Jewish messianic literature flooding the religious market today.
Let us meet the Grand Rabbi Moshe Shternbuch, the head of the Rabbinical Court in Jerusalem and a member of the Eda Charedit, representing the Ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazi Haredi Community in Jerusalem on issues such as Kashrus supervision, Mikvas, Eruv, and a rabbinic court.
Living in a corrupt world, the Haredi are strongly opposed to Labor Zionism as they believe them to be heretical and opposed to Judaism. In reality, this is true, yet this is an issue that you and I can have no part of except we remind ourselves that HaShem, the One-G-d of Israel is the “Divine Commander” during these final days. This opposition, understandably can be appreciated as described in the Bible Searchers Reflections article titled, “The Final Days of Labor Zionist State of Israel.”
At the “Final End”, when the “Supernal glory of G-d” is revealed to all the “70 archetypical nations of the earth”, the Ain Sof, the Creator of all the universes will use His most exalted Meta-Archangel, Metatron (Metat) who is the Shaliach, or G-d’s agent who will be set in charge to transform this 3-dimentional physical earth, elevating this planet as He redeems Planet Earth and brings this planet to its final restoration; “Gan Eden restored” or the “Kingdom of G-d on earth”.
These concepts and facts were written over 200 years ago by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810), the great grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, who wrote:
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov – “The angel Metatron is G-d’s shaliach, His agent in charge of this physical world.” Mayim, Breslov Research Institute, pg. 79
In the Jewish code of law, we realize that a “Shaliah” or “Shaliach” is a legal or halakhic emissary or agent as such as Abraham’s agent, Eliezer who went to find Isaac a wife from the House of Laban. This is the role of the “Angel before the Presence of G-d” that Moshe met at the “burning bush”.
Grand Rabbi Moshe Shternbuch is a great grandson of the Gaon of Vilna osb"m, and it was he who stated in September 2015, that the “Times of the Moshiach (Messiah)” are here. His source was the 18th century “Genius in Vilnius” in Lithuania called the Vilna Gaon himself.
It was back in 2014, that Rav Moshe Shternbuch received a closely guarded secret message written on a document now over 300 years old. It came to him from Rabbi Yitzchak Chever zatza"l, who received it from Rabbi Chaim of Volozhyn zatza"l, who received it from the Gaon of Vilna himself.
This secret document written in cryptic language was known only to the close associates of the Vilna Gaon and was kept a very guarded secret over the centuries since the death of this famous “Genius” in Lithuania. There would come a day when this secret message would need to be revealed to the peoples of the world with a message cluing the world that the global and geo-political “signs of the times” were now about here and that the “Time of the Messiah” had now arrived.
The clues were in a message that would only be understood by this current generation that were “awake, with eyes that can see” as certain international events would begin to unfold in front of our eyes.
Rabbi Yitzchak Chever zatza"l - “When you hear that the Russians have captured the city of Crimea, you should know that the “Times of the Messiah” have started, that his steps are being heard.
And when you hear that the Russians have reached the city of Constantinople (today’s Istanbul), you should put on your Shabbat clothes and don’t take them off, because it means that the Messiah is about to come any minute.”
Destination Yisrael – “It was in the year of 1720 that a young prodigy and genius was born. The Gaon (Hebrew for “genius”), Rabbi Elijah ben Shlomo Zalman was to become the most influential Jewish leader in modern history. He would be known as the most renowned Ashkenazi Torah authority in the past thousand years.
His vast skills in memorization, his extraordinary talents, great wisdom and his comprehension of all branches of Torah and secular knowledge were early recognized.
By the age of seven, he gave his first public discourse on the Torah demonstrating an intellect that was fully developed to abstract thinking as an adult. By the age of ten years, his wisdom in the understanding of the Torah was so renowned for he no longer could find a teacher with the command of the Torah as he.
Known as “The Gra”, this prodigious Torah giant set the standard of Torah study, absolute devotion to G-d and a character perfection emulated by centuries of later students of his manuscripts and books.”
Three hundred and ninety five years later, the “Times of the Messiah has now Come”. This statement of fact was recently issued in a memo by the Supreme Church Council of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is only the first steps of a rapidly escalating awareness that the “Last Generation” are living along the precipice of the “Final End” before being catapulted into the “World to Come”.
The Russian President Vladimir Putin understood with great clarity, the meaning of the message, as Putin now portrays himself as the guardian of the Christian Church in the Middle East and the Protectorate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Of deeper interest, all of these events were stimulated five years ago, in 2010, when Israel’s Top Orthodox Rabbi, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky initiated an investigation to discover any papers and documents at the Vilna Gaon Jewish State Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania and the Federal Security Services historical archives.
Rav Kanievsky was seeking to discover if any more documents were at the Museum and the National Archives written by or about Rabbi Eliyahu Shlomo ben Zalman (Rabbi Elija ben Solomon), the Great Gaon of Vilna, who was also known as the Genius of Vilna; and called the Vilna Gaon.
Five years later in the year of 2014, certain documents were discovered by the FSB (Federal Security Services). They were first provided to the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church which led to the above announcement by the Supreme Church Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.A copy was sent also to the great-grandson of the Vilna Gaon; Rabbi Moshe Shternbuch.
The reality of this event has now truly happened in global military affairs when Putin began engaging the Russian military to invade the region of Crimea on the Black Sea. This reality has now been planted and is now “crystal clear” that we are now entering an era where our 3rd dimensional time and space will collapse as we stand upon the precipice of 4th dimensional life. The “Era of the Messiah” is now on the horizon; alive and well.
Soon will come the “Ingathering of the Exiles”; not just the Jews in the Diaspora but also a much larger “Ingathering” as hundreds of millions, even more so, billions of spiritual immigrants now part of the divine process in the reclamation, restoration and redemption of the Lost 10 Tribes of the House of Israel will be advancing upon their ancient homeland in the Land of Israel.
The reality of this event has now truly happened in global military affairs when Putin began engaging the Russian military to invade the region of Crimea on the Black Sea. This “new reality” has now been planted and is now “crystal clear” that we are now entering an era where our 3rd dimensional time and space will collapse as we stand upon the precipice of 4th dimensional life. The “Era of the Messiah” is now on the horizon; alive and well.
Soon will come the “Messianic Ingathering of the Lost Israelite Exiles”; not just the Jews in the Diaspora but also a much larger “Ingathering” as up to 3 Billion Lost 10-Tribed Israelites from around the world that will be returning to the “lands of their forefathers” as recently published in Stephen Spykerman’s new book, “Game-Changing Revelation: A Hidden Ancestry of America and Great Britain” of which he wrote recently in a letter to Kol Ha Tor in Israel.
Stephen Spykerman – “My personal research has led me to believe that the Whole House of Israel today consists of Two Billion people, as an absolute minimum number, but that the actual present day number may well be in the region of Three Billion, in fulfilment of YHVH's covenantal promise to Abraham, that his seed THROUGH ISAAC would be as many as the stars in the heavens and the sand on the seashore. Gen. 22:17.
Many Israelites escaped from Egypt 'PRIOR' to the Exodus. It is indeed true that multiple millions of Israelites escaped from Egypt prior to the Exodus mentioned in the Scriptures. Does this sound like heresy to you?
Humanly speaking it would make eminent sense for them to do so, as after the glory days of Joseph’s FORTY to SIXTY year reign, as some time after his death, they saw the political climate in Egypt change dramatically against them. It was obvious that major trouble was ahead, as the new Pharaoh, “who knew not Joseph,” acting out of fear for the power of the rising numbers of the Hebrew nation, decreed that all male babies born to the Hebrews should be forcibly drowned in the Nile River.
Tell me, would you stay around to see your babies murdered by the state? I dare say any sane parent would want to leave that country as fast as their legs would carry them!
This is one of the most overlooked facts of history; nevertheless eminent Bible scholars, Orthodox researchers and archaeologists have confirmed this truth. Estimates vary regarding the numbers involved, but with this threat of genocide hanging over them they are bound to be very considerable indeed.”
How this will happen, we do not know but the massive dislocation of the Syrian peoples, and the genocide of the Christians in Syria and the Middle East, as opened up the matrix that will change the United States of America forever.
If the article published by World Net Daily a year ago, on January 17, 2015 titled, “Secret planting of up to 75,000 Syrian Muslims begins in U.S” comes also with a new reality that is not a coincidence, for when the G-d of Israel is comes close to change the destiny of His own people then out of the chaos will come "ascendant expectations from below" as they realize that “This Nation under G-d, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All” will disappear and be transformed into a Sharia Nation. America as we know it today will disappear forever.
At that time, with a new reality will profoundly affect the whole earth. Upwards to 3 Billion descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel will discover a new elevated state of consciousness, and as descendants of the House of Israel we will be ready to become “One Stick” (Ezekiel 37) in union with the House of Judah accepting the call of HaShem, who stated 2,800 years ago:
Ezekiel 36:22-23, 24-28 (parts); 33- - “Therefore, tell the house of Isra’el that L-rd HaShem/Elohim 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 HaShem, the word of L-rd HaShem/Elohim,’ says Adonai Elohim, ‘when, before their eyes, I am sanctified through you to be regarded as holy.
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all countries, and return 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, ‘the land 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!”
This is why the Chazal, the Sages of Judah have over the centuries realized that when the “Messianic Beginning” comes to a true inter-dimensional reality, the city of Jerusalem will become the center of an “Expanding Earth” that will increase the universal axis of G-d’s Kingdom on Earth known as the “world to come” that will “envelope the entire Middle East”; from the Nile to the Euphrates.
The question is whether we will believe it? Are we willing to change our lives, our attitudes towards the One G-d of Israel and our brothers/cousins from the House of Judah? Are we willing to give up our arrogance with the willingness to become “One Branch” again in the Hands of the Divine?
We are reminded of the prophecy of Rebi Yochanan in the Sanhedrin 97a which stated:
Sanhedrin 97a – “Rebi Yochanan said: In the generation that Ben Dovid will come, talmidei chachamim, the “pupil of wisdom” known as the Torah sage or scholar, will decrease, and the eyes of the remainder will protrude from sighing and sorrow; many chastisements and many evil decrees will be renewed; one will not cease before another begins.
The rabbis taught: The Shmittah period in which Ben Dovid will come the following verse will be fulfilled:
The rabbis taught: The Shmittah period in which Ben Dovid will come the following verses will be fulfilled:
In the first year, "And I caused it to rain upon one city, and upon another city I caused it not to rain." (Amos 4:7).In the second year, slight famine will be sent.
In the third year, a great famine from which men, women, and children, pious and deed-doing people will die, and Torah will be forgotten by those who learned her.
In the fourth year, some will be satiated, and others will not be.
In the fifth year, there will be great satiation, with eating, drinking, and joy, and Torah will return to those who learned it.
In the sixth year, voices (speaking of the Moshiach's imminent arrival) will be heard, and
In the seventh year, there will be war [Gog u'Magog].
In the year after the seventh, Ben Dovid will come.”
Rab Yosef said, "Many Shmittah cycles have come and he (the Messiah) did not arrive!" Abaye answered, "Were there voices in the sixth year followed by war in the seventh year? Secondly, did they follow this order?" (Sanhedrin 97a)
Rebi Yehudah said: The generation in which Ben Dovid (Messiah son of David) will come ... The wisdom of the scribes will be corrupted; men fearing sin will be hated; the leaders of the generation will have the nature of dogs; and truth will be lacking ... He who turns away from evil will be regarded by the public as being foolish.
Rebi Nehorai taught: The generation in which Ben Dovid will come the young will embarrass the old, and the old will rise for the young; a daughter will rebel against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, the leaders of the generation will have the nature of dogs, and a son will feel no shame when criticized by his father.
Reb Nechemiah taught: The generation in which Ben Dovid will come, insolence will increase, respect will be missing ... and all the governments will turn to false beliefs (minnus); criticism will be of no avail.Ben Dovid will not come until informers increase ... And hope in the redemption is announced."
In BibleSearchers Reflections we searched diligently for the signs of the “Era of the Messiah” to begin during the Seven Sabbatical Week of Years called the Oslo Accord years of 1993-2000. The time for the revealing of the Messiah by “achishenah” swiftly and with worldwide anticipation did not happen for “God’s chosen people”, Jews and Lost Israelites alike were not ready.
Then came the Palestinian Intifada years of 2001-2008, after which theNY Stock Exchange suffered the worse stock market collapse in history of 777.58 points on the eve of Rosh Hashanah 2008, Jewish year of 5768, when the G-d of Israel posted his signature, 777, on the walls of Wall Street in the Jewish year of 5768.
On Yom Kippur, while the financial ministers of the major nations of the world were huddled together on how to save the world from a world economic collapse in 2009, the famed Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri who had earlier predicted that the “War against Terror” years of 2008-2015 would begin on Hashanah Rabbah 5768 as the 70 archetypical Nations of the world watched with horror, the near collapse of the planetary “global village”. This economic crisis effectively made null and void the Oslo Accord of “Land for Peace Agreement” which in reality gave the whole planet and era of “Peace with Great Security.”
Then it was in the month of Nissan, 2014 with the festival of Pesach on the horizon that the Gerrer Rebbebegan along with other spiritual leaders of Judaism to talk about the Maschiach and the soon coming Geula; the cosmic messianic elevation of consciousness with the restoration of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and the redemption of 12-Tribed Israel.
As Rabbi Lazer Brody wrote:
Rabbi Lazer Brody – “Three weeks ago, I gave an emuna lesson entitled The Megilla of Geula, saying that all the events occurring today will come together to be one big Megilla (Scroll like the Megilla of Esther) that of our final Geula, or redemption.
This morning, I heard from a close friend and a Gerrer Chassid who was with the Gerrer Rebbe shlit'a on Purim that the Gerrer Rebbe (Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter shlit'a)said that we are now in the midst of the Megilla of Geula: in the original Yiddish, he said, Mir halt mitl arein in di Megilla fun Geula. The Gerrer Rebbe shlit'a is a tzaddik of very few words.”
Today the Land of Israel is exploding with more insight into the hidden dimensions of the Messianic transformation as more and more of the rabbinic sages are talking and discussing about Moshiach and Guela transformation.
It was that same month in March, 2014 that the former Israeli Commando, now Rabbi Lazer Brody with “Lazer Beams” wrote:
Lazer Brody – “We owe a note of thanks to Russian president Vladimir Putin for helping to bring Moshiach a step closer. What does all of this mean?
Rabbi Eliezer says that we shouldn't delay doing teshuva (see tractate Shabbat 153a), for one never knows if he or she will get another chance.
The three commodities that we all need to stock up on today are teshuva (penitence), emuna (faith), and kedusha (holiness) - once Moshiach comes, everything else will be worthless.
And if there will be a war of Gog and Magog, who will survive? We're about to see big miracles, very soon. We live in historic times, so we must make the right choices. Without emuna, things will be really frightening. But with emuna, they'll be exciting - wait and see.”
With all the excitement of the soon to arrive Messiah, and the American CIA, having now plotted with certain elements within Turkey to provoke a larger war in the Middle East, President Putin awakened to report that any prior military agreements with the United States was now suspended.
The highly feared Russian S-400 defense missile system was deployed to the Hmeymim airbase in Syria. The Russian missiles with the range of 155 miles were now prepared to penetrate the Turkey air-space borders, fifty miles away.
At the same time, nuclear tipped missiles were put on active alert to penetrate the Turkey airspace as the airspace defense, now provided by the Russian Moskva naval cruiser and were now a threat to all military airplanes under the control of the rising ancient Ottoman Empire as Russia was preparing to heighten its iron clad “Bear Hug”. The Turks will have to beware and NATO be cautioned should any other Turkish-CIA-NATO aircraft ever again attempt to target a Federation warplane.
So we ask again, was it a coincidence, with the G-d of Israel controlling the affairs of the world heading full steam into World War III, that one of the rabbinic elders, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky became so concerned that two months earlier in July, 2015, he sent a warning to all the Jews in the Diaspora that the Messiah was on the precipice of being revealed.
Even with that warning, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky also named a date to be remembered in the annals of “messianic revelations”; September 12, 2015.
Again, was it a coincidence that this certain date that was announced was the actual date when Russian President Vladimir Putin made the formal authorization on September 12, 2015, for the Russian Aerospace Forces to begin bombing the ISIL forces in Syria? The bombing officially began on September 30, 2015.
Are we willing to accept that the Holy One of Israel and his emissaries, the divine forces of Light are surrounding the State of Israel and protecting the “chosen ones” around the world?
The main substance of this “end of times” document that was presented to President Obama by President Putin concerning the prophecies made in the 18th century by one of histories’ most respected Jewish scholars, Elijah ben Shlomo Zalman (Rabbi Elijah ben Solomon) who is also known as Vilna Gaon—the genius of Vilna was that the One G-d of Israel was now taking charge of our near future, as “Acts of G-d” in global catastrophes, calamities, will consume the whole earth.
So today, we can see and perceive that these prophecies pronounced in more than one version by the Vilna Gaon at the end of the 17th century today exactly portray the militarization of the Middle East by Russia, China, America and Europe today in the years of 2014-2015, examined by the Russian Orthodox Church and came into the possession of the esteemed Jewish rabbi in Israel Rabbi Kanievsky, was the same as he pronounced shortly before his death in 1797 that warned:
Destination Yisrael - “When you hear that the Russians have captured the city of Crimea, you should know that the times of the Messiah have started, that his steps are being heard.
And when you hear that the Russians have reached the city of Constantinople (today’s Istanbul), you should put on your Shabbat clothes and don’t take them off, because it means that the Messiah is about to come any minute.”
Vilna Gaon - “When the ships of the kingdom of Russia will cross the Dardanelles you [Israel] should dress in Sabbath clothes because this means that the arrival of the Messiah is close.
When you see the Russian armies begin to move southward and enter Turkey (Constantinople), put on your Sabbath garments and get ready to welcome the Messiah.”
The reality is clear, the entire Black Sea is under the control of Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation. Russia being to the north of the Sea of Azov and the Crimean Peninsula, we can fully understand strategically how Russia was impelled by the American and European inspired Ukrainian revolutions that Putin instead invaded and took control of the Crimean Peninsula a year ago in 2014.
Let us consider further the global strategic risks that soon may happen, if and when the Russian military crosses over the Dardanelles and invades the Nation of Turkey? As Destination Yisrael wrote in 2014:
Destination Yisrael – “Why would Putin want to invade Constantinople or Istanbul today? Even though the State of Turkey appears in western eyes to be an Islamic State, it was a founding member of the United Nations in 1945, was elected as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in 2008 and a permanent member on January 1, 2009.
Turkey as the second largest standing armed force in NATO after the American armed forces. They have almost a half a million forces that can be deployed.
Out of 26 nations that are a part of NATO, only five NATO members are a part of the nuclear sharing policies of the alliance; Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Turkey.
Not only that the “Crown Jewel” of Turkey’s military is the Incirlik Air Base that today hosts 90 American B61 nuclear bombers of which 40 are dedicated for the Turkish Air Force so that in the presence of a nuclear conflict with the permission of NATO, 40 of those bombers are dedicated for the Turkish Air Force.
In other words, Turkey is the gateway from the Far East, Near East and Middle East to Western Europe. No wonder Putin would covet control of Istanbul and the Islamic Mahdi will seek to eventually wrestle the military assets of the “Crown Jewel” of NATO for the Islamic forces of Allah.
Would this be a part of the Russia’s ruthless bid to take possession of the once Vatican of the East in Constantinople, while entering the heartland of the Islamic world at the Straits of the Dardanelles?”
The Black Sea is an inland sea located between far-southeastern Europe and the far-western edges of the continent of Asia and the country of Turkey. It is bordered by Turkey, Bulgaria, Georgia, called the “Israel of the Caucuses” plus Romania, Russia and Ukraine.
The Black Sea connects to the Mediterranean Sea first through the Bosporus Strait, then through the Sea of Marmara and then down through the Dardanelles Strait, south through the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Crete.
These lands were once the heartland of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. They migrated from the lands of their exile Georgia, called the Israel of the Caucasus between the Black and the Caspian Seas.
They later moved west over and above the Black Sea where the prime rivers glowing from the north into the Black Sea were called by the Tribe of Dan, the great wanderers that included the Don (Dan) River the D(a)niester, the D(a)nieper and headed west and north following the Danube River upon once entering Gaul (Europe) on the western coastline of the Black Sea.
They then reached the region of Denmark (D(a)nmark) up into Scandinavia. The bulk of these tribal invasions into ancient Northern Europe were the Scythians, the horse men of the North who controlled all of Northern Europe as the Vikings of the North.
Today the Black Sea is 168,500 sq. miles in size, and its maximum depth is 7,218 feet. It is the primary water corridor for the transport of energy (oil and gas) from Russia and Western Asia to Europe. In the year of 2005, over 55, 000 ships plied the Black Sea along with 6,000 tankers carrying Russian oil through the Bosporus Strait. Together with the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus Straits, along with the Dardanelles connect the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the strategic naval transit route for Russian Naval ships conducting their missions today against Islamic State terrorists, and which many believe writers believe that Turkey may close.
If the Bosporus Strait or the Bosporus were to be shut down, there would no doubt be an immediate invasion of Istanbul by Russia along the northern Black Sea coast line of Turkey, north of Constantinople in order to reopen the Bosporus or the Dardanelles.
How all these events will happen, we do not know. No doubt the largest human migration in earth’s history will rise from Northern Europe and North America. With a rapidly changing global deterioration, along with “Acts of G-d” associated with global catastrophes all around the world, should enlighten those with “eyes that can see” that the “strong arm of justice” by the “hand of G-d” is preparing to finish the redemption of Klal Yisrael (All 12-Tribed Israel). He will destroy the enemies of Israel, and protect the billions of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who may soon be making their last migration home; their “Final Aliyah” to the mountains of Israel in Shomron and Judea.
This will be the most profound spiritual migration ever, as the Creator of the Universes sets the stage for the reclamation, restoration and redemption of the Lost 10 Tribes of the House of Israel. They have now awakened as “Dry Bones” as the “floodgates of heaven that will be opened” will protect and guide the “Messianic Ingathering” of the entire “Nation of Israel” that was first inaugurated by the Almighty One of Israel at the mount called Sinai.

The region of the Pacific Northwest is renowned for its virgin forests dampened by soaking skies and cool summers that was cooled to its proximity of the Pacific Ocean and Alaska. Yet the year of 2014 became a record-breaking year that brought drought, stifling heat and ignited destructive forest fires all the way from Bass Lake near Yosemite National Park in Central California to a blazing inferno that incinerated over 30,000 acres in the Los Angeles National Forest east of Los Angeles. Such ended the Jewish Year of 5774 on Rosh Hashanah, September 24, 2014.
In fact to the north in Montana, a fast-racing forest fire consumed large sections of Glacier National Park and put Washington State to the west on the busiest record breaking wild fire season in the states records.
Then came the long awaited Sabbatical Week of Years called the Shmittah Year when the land remains fallow but remains in expectation that the year of the Messiah will come in the Jubilee Year following the 7th Sabbatical Year as Rosh Hashanah arrived on September in the Jewish Year of 5775 (2016).
In the NOAA Climate.gov website, in the month of May, much of the central part of the United States was wet. Very wet! The climatologist working at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information calculated the regional averages of rain, snow and other types of precipitation and concluded that 2005 was the nation’s wettest month of May since records began 121 years ago in 1894. The season was not only the wettest but the month of May was the wettest month ever.
As depicted on the map above, the graphic depicts that the regions of the country that were the wettest were highlighted in shades of green and the regions that were drier were depicted in shades of brown. The wettest part of the country were in the states of Arizona, Southern California, Northern Utah, a small region in Nevada and the darker green areas along the borders of Oklahoma and Texas sent a cascade of water and flooding down the Trinity River to Houston, Texas.
This flood precipitated the resurrection of an ancient prophecy at the time the Children of Israel were preparing to cross the Jordan and enter as an invasion force into the Promised Land. This alone caused a new look as the ancient prophecies of Medad and Eldad, the half-brothers of Moshe the prophetic leader of the Children of Israel. As documented in the Destination Yisrael article, titled, “The 2015 Houston Shavuot Flood, the Prophecy of Meidad at Sinai: Flooding the Land of the Gogs of Magog,” we witnessed the flooding of the largest Orthodox Synagogue in the Southwest as Braes Bayou in Houston flooded over its boundaries and inundated the large Jewish community surrounding the synagogue.
Here the ancient prophecy is the focus of a prophecy given almost 3,600 years ago that focused on the Gog-Magog War in Ezekiel 38. This was literally at the “time of the end” where Houston, is literally the “land of the Gogs of Magog”.
Texas is literally the home of the BushGog dynasty called the Gogs of the Land of Magog. This dynastic family is a part of the Golden Internationale, where the Jesuits and the Skull and Bones society which Prescott Bush, the US Senator from Connecticut was an adept and member, later became the bank president of the New York based Union Banking Corporation (UBC), a subsidiary bank as part of the largest private banking system in the world; the Harriman Brothers bank.
Not only that, it was Prescott Bush as banking president of Union Banking Corporation (UBC) a subsidiary with Harriman Brothers Banks, who established the Bush dynasty to integral part of America’s international power.
The BushGog dynasty today is represented today by;
Prescott Bush’s Son, George Herbert Walker Bush, director of the CIA and served as the 43rd Vice-President of the United States and later the 41st President of the United States,
Grandson, George Walker Bush, 46th Governor of Texas and 43rd President of the United States,
Son, Jeb Bush, 43rd Governor of Florida and Republican Presidential, Candidate contending to be the 45th President of the United States and
Grandson, George P Bush, as the powerful Land Commissioner in the State of Texas.
The driest place in America was in California but not so well known also North Carolina in the Southeast rainfall was below average. In the central part of the nation the rainfall was averaging in increase of 200-300% of the average for the month of May. This included fifteen states from the Great Basin to the mighty Mississippi River.
In the three states of Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas the record rain fall set new records and as such ended the multi-year drought that devastated the Southern Plains since 2011 all the way down to the central “hill country” and the eastern forests of Texas.
So what happened that broke the 121 year record of rain in the month of May and created a new alignment thought within the Jewish mind in the year of 1894? It resurrected a new reality in the Jewish people around the world. There in the diaspora of the west, the Jews were introduced to a new paradigm of thinking; American was the land of hope, safety, and religious freedom.
One hundred years ago, in the year of 1894, as documented in the article in the Jewish Virtual Library, titled, “The Dreyfus Affair and Theodor (Binjamin Ze’ev) Herzl”. Here we read concerning a primal event in the Jewish consciousness that occurred in the year of 1894:
Jewish Virtual Library – “The Dreyfus Affair” - In 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was unjustly accused of treason, mainly because of the prevailing anti-Semitic atmosphere. Herzl witnessed mobs shouting “Death to the Jews” in France, the home of the French Revolution, and resolved that there was only one solution: the mass immigration of Jews to a land that they could call their own. Thus, the Dreyfus Case became one of the determinants in the genesis of Political Zionism.
Herzl concluded that anti-Semitism was a stable and immutable factor in human society, which assimilation did not solve. He mulled over the idea of Jewish sovereignty, and, despite ridicule from Jewish leaders, published Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State, 1896).
Herzl argued that the essence of the Jewish problem was not individual but national. He declared that the Jews could gain acceptance in the world only if they ceased being a national anomaly. The Jews are one people, he said, and their plight could be transformed into a positive force by the establishment of a Jewish state with the consent of the great powers. He saw the Jewish question as an international political question to be dealt with in the arena of international politics.
Herzl proposed a practical program for collecting funds from Jews around the world by a company to be owned by stockholders, which would work toward the practical realization of this goal. (This organization, when it was eventually formed, was called the Zionist Organization.) He saw the future state as a model social state, basing his ideas on the European model of the time, of a modern enlightened society. It would be neutral and peace-seeking, and of a secular nature.
In his Zionist novel, Altneuland (Old New Land, 1902), Herzl pictured the future Jewish state as a socialist utopia. He envisioned a new society that was to rise in the Land of Israel on a cooperative basis utilizing science and technology in the development of the Land.
He included detailed ideas about how he saw the future state’s political structure, immigration, fundraising, diplomatic relations, social laws and relations between religion and the state. In Altneuland, the Jewish state was foreseen as a pluralist, advanced society, a “light unto the nations.” This book had a great impact on the Jews of the time and became a symbol of the Zionist vision in the Land of Israel.”
Herzl's ideas were met with enthusiasm by the Jewish masses in Eastern Europe, although Jewish leaders were less ardent. Herzl appealed to wealthy Jews such as Baron Hirsch and Baron Rothschild, to join the national Zionist movement, but in vain. He then appealed to the people, and the result was the convening of the First Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland, on August 2931, 1897.”
The Jewish population in America in the year of 1899 was 1,943,800. It has grown today to 5,725,725 Jews or 2.1% of the populations of the United States. Today, the second largest population of Jewish people who have made America their national homeland are in California. As documented in the Jewish Virtual Library, titled, “Vital Statistics, Statistics of the Jewish Population in the United States, according to State” we learn that the State of California who had 1,232,190 Jews in 2014, is second in population of Jews, next to New York with 1,757,270 Jews, and Florida with 638,985 Jews.
Yet, as we shall now see, slowly the awareness of the Jewish population and their Lost Tribal brothers will begin to reel with a new reality that California, New York and Florida plus the rest of the United States are coming under the judgments of the G-d of Israel. “This Land is (no longer) your Land; this Land is (no longer) my Land”.
As the G-d of Israel would not allow the Jewish people to live forever in the land of the Babylonian and Persian Empire, today the Nation of Iraq, so it is now time for the Babylonian and Persian exile to be fully over.
So also El Shaddai, the Almighty G-d of Israel will also shut the doors for the European and American exile when Diasporic Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes have assimilated in the United States. Yes, the Divine One will bring them to an elevated state of consciousness for their tribal homelands are in the Holy Land of Israel and it is time for all of them to go home. How so!
In May 25, 2015, Destination Yisrael posted the article titled, “Jewish Aliyah aspirations (and Lost 10- Tribed Israel aspirations) will awaken by the 1000 year Water Crisis in Western United States.” As we have seen above, the reality check is sobering and dramatic. As in the ancient days, so also today, the Western United States may soon begin massive depopulation as the Golden State of California becomes a “Brown State”. Its people may have to leave the entire regions and head back to the east in times of great of apocalyptic catastrophes.
This could include the explosions of the series of volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest called the “Seven Sisters” that include familiar names such as Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Mount Shasta and Mount St. Helens. Here our memories are reminded of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, though in an isolated region left 57 people dead and 230 square miles of devastation.
Here also is Mount Rainier, at 14,000 feet the highest mountain in the Cascade Range and a potential catastrophic hazard to 2.5 million people in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area.
In a land whose Muslim occupant of the White House is recognized as “no longer a friend of Israel”, a new paradigm of our future is staring in our faces. More and more the discussion is coming up about Mashiach. Who is he, and when will his presence be revealed?
This “Messiah” was not a topic to be discussed a decade or two ago, but today, it is on the lips of everyone. As Destination Yisrael wrote, new revelations from the Chazal, the Sages of Israel are now opening our hearts and our minds. When the options are laid down upon the ground, we will be given the same mandates given to the Children of Israel (all Ten Tribed Israel).
The One-G-d of Israel, is the same G-d who met with our forefathers on the mount called Sinai and gave our forefathers then, as today the same message; “If you keep My commands, you will live; if you refuse to keep my commands, you will die.
As Destination Yisrael wrote, the revealing of the Messiah may soon be here as early as Rosh Hashanah 2016 with the beginning of the Messianic Era on the Jubilee Year of 5777.
So who is this Meta-Archangel, Mem-Tet, who stands exalted and is called the “Angel before the Divine Presence” as reported in the Destination Yisrael series of articles called, Shiloh as King Messiah (Melekh HaMaschiach) titled:
We meet this exalted created angelic Archangel as the:
Angel of G-d who met Abram in his tent and announced the birth of his son, Isaac and who soon after rained destruction down upon the beautiful Vale of Siddim and wiped out Sodom and Gomorrah, who also was the;
Angel of G-d who met Moses at the burning bush, the;
Angel of the Divine Presence who became the Pillar of Light and the Pillar of Darkness guided the Children of Israel through the wilderness, the;
Angel of G-d who met Moses when he touched his Merkaba (divine chariot) at the top of the Mount called Sinai (Mount Horeb), and as the;
Captain of the L-rd’s Hosts who met Joshua before the Battle at Jericho and the;
Angel of G-d, who guided the Children of Israel to victory when they followed MemTet’s command, and drove Canaanites, Philistines (Palestinians) from the land of Canaan yet when the Children of Israel followed their own desires and revenge met their own defeat.
Today, this is the same Angel of the Divine Presence who is orchestrating and sending the divine forces of the G-d of Israel to throw back the dark forces and enemies of Israel. At the same time, it is he who is wooing HaShem’s own children, the Jews still living in the Diaspora of America and around the world and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel to return back to the homes of their ancestors.
Today, the descendants of the Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel are having to make decisions in an epochal era of future calamities and apocalyptic upheavals. Consider that 1.2 million people of known Jewish descent are living within this desertification region of California today. Consider then how many of these California citizens are descendants of the rebellious Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
It was their Celtic, Cymric, Gothic, Scythians and Angel, Saxon ancestors who became their European forefathers. They settled in the “lands of their dwelling” first in Northern Europe and later in America and then on the trails to the Golden State in the West? So with the Jews, how many of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel will also be led by the G-d of Klal Yisrael and also head back home to the lands of their forefathers, also? 5 Million? 10 Million? 15 Million?
Can we imagine Tel Aviv Beaches as a Spiritual Paradise?
If, according to the most recent statistics in California there live over 38 million residents in California, and 38.8% are of European Caucasian Non-Hispanic descent, then about 13 million descendants of the 12-Tribed Israel may soon be also heading home to the land of their patriarchal forefathers; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The original Lost 10 Tribes who lived in the Mountains of Israel in Shomron and Judea later became the first occupants of the Northern Countries of Ancient Gaul, the Isles of the West in Ireland, England and Scotland plus the Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland plus Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and the Northern regions of France and Germany. How many of them will also respond to the call of the Divine to “come home” and we too will again be known as G-d’s people and HaShem the G-d of Israel will be known as our G-d (Ezekiel 36)?
This will become the most awe-inspiring reclamation, restoration and redemption of all times, especially if it includes in addition, the European Lost 10 tribes and Jews in all the continents of the Americas, Europe, nations of Colonial England and the Buddhists Lost Tribers, the Hindu and all those that migrated to the Far East in China, Koreas, and Japan.
Can we imagine Peace between the Children of Ishmael and the Children of Isaac?
While the West Coast of the United States was baking in the threat of a 1000 year drought, the central regions of America were swimming in the wettest season in 121 years. Yet, in the Pacific Ocean, only the finger of the Divine has full control of the massive power of the elements to move this mass of water to be used to awaken G-d’s that the time has come for redemption. The only caveat is emuna, the faith in the Divine power of the G-d of Israel that He alone has the universal means to save or to destroy.
He has offered to the Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel the promise that reclamation, redemption and restoration back to Gan Eden restored will come by achishenah, swiftly with redemption coming like the “blink of the eye” on condition that we come with emuna (faith in the Sovereign Power of the Ain Sof (Divine One) and with teshuva (true repentance).
Yet if we continue to cling to our independent and arrogant ways, redemption will come in be’itah (in the slow, grinding, and catastrophic events cascading around the world. Either way, Maschiach will come and be revealed.
Yet, we have to ask, is the Almighty One of Israel, unsheathing the sun so that the Almighty One will become revealed in part so that those with “eyes that can see” can perceive that the wars in heaven with the dark forces of HaSatan are becoming manifested in our three dimensional world. The world is engulfed in flames and heat that is torching most continents on planet earth is not just “global warming” but the beginning of the time of the end.
Part of this picture is the summer of record-breaking drought. Where Walla Walla, Washington has had no perceptible rain since May, high temperature continue to break decades old heat records. And, though known for soaking skies and cool summers, Washington State is well on track to surpass last year’s wildfire season, its busiest on record.
With the fire season beginning one month earlier, and crops prematurely ripening weeks in advance, the land is in duress, the inhabitants are in distress. The California drought has been unforgiving.
Yet to the north, the State of Alaska is smoldering as 399 fires were burning simultaneously in the month of June, making this month the state’s worst fire season on record.
As the 7th Shmittah Year in the Jewish year of 5775 nears its end, the 8th year merges with the Jubilee Year of 5776 as the world awaits the Jewish year of 5777 (5000 years of man plus 777, the number of G-d).
The western states in America alone were enduring nationwide scorching as about 63,312 wildfires in 2014 and destroyed 3.6 million acres of land across the country last year, at a cost of $1.52 billion to fight the fires.
As the Jewish year of 5776 approaching on September 13, 2015 comes closer and closer, this year of 2015 is expected to cost up to $2.1 billion. The $1.5 billion set aside as reserves by the Federal Interior and Agriculture Departments caring for 600 million acres of public lands will be dramatically underfunded.
Back in the Holy Land of Israel, the State of Israel was preparing in mid-August for the Third Heat Wave in Israel during the Israeli summertime.
On the heels of two prior heat waves pushing beyond 100 degrees temperatures, it was now August 16, 2015 as the temperature began to climb the day earlier on the Jewish Shabbat. It was expected that the temperature would continue to climb higher on Sunday.
The Israeli mountain region of Shomron and Judea were expected to be significantly hot and dry while the coastal plains near Tel Aviv would be steamy and humid with balmy winds to mitigate the heat. The forecast for the midst of August, record temperatures would be broken as the Sunday would be recorded on state records as such: Golan Heights 40°C (104°F), Sea of Galilee 43° (109°), Haifa 35° (95°), Tel Aviv 33° (91°), Jerusalem 37° (99°), Beersheva 41° (106°), Dead Sea 45° (113°) and Eilat 46° (115°).
This time, our expectations might come to our reality. May it come swiftly and the sweetness of redemption.
You might want to Read the recent Destination Yisrael Series, titled, “Shiloh, as King Messiah (Melekh HaMashiach)
Destination Yisrael – “Slowly the Almighty One of Israel is opening the gates of the Supernal Realm surrounding the Throne of G-d. He is revealing to us a mini-vision of our future as we become one with Him in the future Millennium of the Great Shabbat.
The struggles we will have within this era, will be to give up of ourselves, allow humility to become a part of the our lives, for within each us is the sublime message that if we are willing to submit ourselves to His will, the power of the Divine will help us to jump the hurtles into our future.
Then we realize that the Eternal One now reveals to us that the future of our Eternity was given to Metatron, He was the first of creation, the most Exalted Being of the heavenly realms. He was the Vizier to the Holy One of Israel as Vizier like Joseph was to the Pharaoh of old.
Here is a majestic being who is in charge of running the Universes of the Divine. And he was the same being that led the Children of Israel out of Egypt to the mount called Sinai this time as a Pillar of Fire at night and a Cloud to shade the daytime.
Metatron was the “Guide” to Moshe in the Wilderness. It was here where he helped to lead and guide the Great Redeemer of the Children of Israel. Metatron became the Neshama Soul of Moshe in heaven that was connected with the “Indwelling Soul” or the Neshama Soul of Moshe on Planet Earth.
As such Moshe, as we also may, kept in constant touch with the Divine One for man, created in the Image of G-d, has always had direct line access with the G-d of Israel.

Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum has submitted the following enlightening and truly encouraging Commentary on this lightning packed topic to Kol Ha Tor director Ovadyah Avrahami and students and patrons of Kol Ha Torwhich is threatening in growing pitch black thunder clouds on the horizon.
Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum – “Letter to Orthodox Jewish Director of Kol Ha Tor
Dear Ovadyah,
Surprise! Surprise! It’s me again, after such a long time since I last wrote. Please forgive me, as a lot has been going on in my personal and working life, making it hard for me to find time for in-depth comment on the on-going situation around us.
In any case, for the most part little new has been going on in recent months that has seemed worthy of urgent comment. The Israeli election campaign was as predictably boring and ugly as the actual results have been disappointing. Little has changed in the Israeli government except for its outer face.
Netanyahu has a history of posing as a staunch nationalist in his apparent stances while showing little muscle in his actions (who can forget that he signed away Hebron to the terrorists in 1998?)
What else could one comment on? How many times can one condemn the horrifying serial atrocities of Da’esh (“ISIS”) and others in the name of Islam? How many times can one note the pusillanimous response of the U.S. government to the destruction of the Iraq for which they fought such a bloody war to reinvent, and their failure to act meaningfully in Syria?
As for the unremitting war on all levels against Israel, there is nothing new in the escalating BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign against us in many parts of the world, notably on campuses and in major churches, and often led by outspoken “Jewish” liberals in America and left-wing Israeli academics.
The occasion for today’s letter is actually something that is totally unsurprising. 40 years ago when I was a junior current affairs commentator in the BBC World Service, it was an office joke that if you needed an opening line for your comment on some totally predictable news item, you could always go for the favorite cliché: “It comes as no surprise that…”
This is certainly the case with the much heralded “historical” nuclear agreement announced this week in Vienna following years of negotiations between Iran, US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China. It really does come as absolutely no surprise at all, since it was always perfectly obvious that it was going to happen, and now it finally has.
The carefully choreographed timing of the announcement after so many delays could not have been more significant from the Jewish point of view, given that it fell on July 14 / 27 Tammuz, bang in the middle of the “Three Weeks” period from the Fast of 17 Tammuz (4 July) until the Fast of Tisha B’Av (26 July), when we soul-searchingly contemplate our collective past, our present and our future destiny.
For Jews and lovers of Israel across the world, the new agreement is prima facie very bad news, since it effectively gives a Gushpanka (Aramaic: “royal seal of approval”) to Iran to continue covertly doing whatever it wants to make nuclear weapons under the guise of peaceful development, while being readmitted to the International diplomatic and financial community, which will generate huge revenues for it to distribute to its terror proxies in Syria, Gaza, Lebanon and in target countries across the world.
Not for nothing are many comparing the Western capitulation to Iran, with all of the accompanying photo-ops for the world “leaders”, to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s capitulation to Hitler in Munich in 1938 which opened the doors to German expansionism and all the horrors of World War II.
This was obviously a very happy day for the leaders of Iran, for Syria’s embattled tyrant Assad, for Hezbollah and Hamas as well as for the third member of what President George Bush termed “the Axis of Evil”, North Korea.
It has of course been a supremely happy day for Nobel Peace Prize laureate U.S. President Barack Obama, who can look forward to a triumphant conclusion to his second term as the one who is bringing Peace in Our Time through integrating all of the world players into one big family with the only remaining black sheep, as it were, being little Israel.
It will also have been an exceptionally gratifying achievement for the unseen powers that pull Obama’s strings and tell his speech-writers and spokespersons what to say.
Years ago I read a source suggesting that Jimmy “Peanut” Carter’s National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, had a strategy aimed to foment havoc in the Middle East. This has long been evident in all ensuing U.S. Middle East actions on the ground, systematically thwarting Israel while empowering the P.L.O. and Hamas, undermining Egypt, leaving Iraq and Syria to their fate, abandoning Saudi Arabia and other allies, allowing if not actually fostering the growth of Da’esh (ISIS) under everyone’s noses, destabilizing Libya, etc. etc.
The rise of Iran has in fact had covert U.S. support and encouragement since 1979, when the resolution of the “U.S. hostage crisis” in Tehran greatly empowered Ayatollah Khomeini, as well as sky-rocketing the then little known Palestinian Liberation Front onto the center of the world stage when the U.S. had to beg them to negotiate the release of the hostages. The role of the P.L.O. back then is testimony to the long standing alliance of the “Palestinians” with the Iranian regime until today.
The covert U.S. role in Iran’s ascent continued, of course, under President Reagan of “Irangate” fame, when top administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran which was then subject of an arms embargo. Today the U.S. government’s role is no longer covert at all but is being held up as deserving international adulation.
It may be added that another facet in the long-term strategy of the international clique that controls the U.S. government would seem to be that country’s demotion from being the world’s only remaining superpower, policeman and supposed champion of freedom to becoming but one among several powers that make up the core of an emergent world government under the U.N. Good luck with that one?
Amid all the cries of “Peace in Our Time”, the nuclear agreement with Iran is unquestionably a very happy day for arms manufacturers, developers and salesmen on all levels, because the coming nuclear arms race and increased militarization in the Middle East and across the world will generate billions in revenues on the backs of the tax-payers and at the cost of untold casualties. Do we really need yet another lesson in the great folly of war?
Besides the joy in Iran and its protégées in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza, the agreement will have brought great satisfaction to Russian President Vladimir Putin, a long-term steadfast ally of Iran. Indeed strategically on the international scene, it is Putin who has been calling the shots, as in Ukraine, where classic Russian expansionism has set all Europe on edge. The crafty Putin has taken full advantage of the U.S. administration’s asinine weakness and the disarray in the European Union.
There is indeed a very natural emergent geopolitical axis consisting of Russia, Turkey and Iran that has de facto been operating quietly with great effect and is likely to increase in strength and influence as US influence wanes across the world with her systematic betrayal of her supposed closest allies and her own principals.
While the nuclear agreement with Iran has brought great foreboding among Jews and lovers of Israel, it is important to keep ourselves focused amidst these seismic changes in the world upon the Hand of HaShem, who with consummate subtlety is crafting and orchestrating every detail out of hidden and revealed love for His people Israel and His desire for our speedy Redemption, and to vindicate the words of His prophets and sages.
We learn in Ezekiel Chapter 38 on the line-up of nations against Israel in the end of time War of Gog and Magog, that it is Gog, King of Magog that leads. I know that in the last two decades since the beginning of the Oslo “Peace Process” nightmare, some postulated that GeOrGe Bush (BushGog) or arch-terrorist Yassir Arafat were playing this role. The latter in particular would seem to have been some level of incarnation of Gog, as were figures like Hitler and Stalin in their time.
Rosh (ancient Sarmatians known as Rashu,Rasapu,Ros and Rus) RUSSIA Magog (ancient Scythians) Central Asia (Islamic southern republics of the former Soviet Union with a population of 60 million Muslims) Meshech (ancient Muschki and Musku in Cilicia and Cappadocia) Turkey Tubal (ancient Tubalu in Cappadocia) Turkey Persia (name changed to Iran in 1935) Iran Ethiopia (ancient Cush,south of Egypt) Sudan Libya (ancient Put,west of Egypt) Libya Gomer (ancient Cimmerians from seventh century to first century B.C. in central/western Anatolia Turkey Beth-Togarmah (Tilgarimmu between ancient Carchemish and Haran) Turkey
But if the seemingly emergent Russia-Turkey-Iran axis turns out to become a reality, it would seem quite likely that the next and possibly final incarnation of Gog will come out of Russia. This would fit perfectly with the Hebrew text in Ezekiel 38:2, where he is described as the “Prince, head of MeSheKh and Tuval. MeSheKh is identified by the rabbinical Talmudic commentators as Moscow, while Tuval is Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. Just think about what’s been going on in and around Georgia in recent years.
It is highly notable that among the most prominent of the nations that join with Gog are Paras (= Persia, Iran, verse 5) and the “House of Togarma” (verse 6), identified with Turkey or, according to other opinions, Germany!
The primary role taken by Persia/Iran in the “end of days” war against Israel that leads to the confutation of all the seventy nations is predicted in key rabbinical sources as well as being rooted in the words of the prophets.
Key Rabbinical and Biblical Sources
Since the days of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, who frequently quoted this Midrash, many have known of the passage in Midrash Yalkut Shimoni on Isaiah chapter 60 (#499):
Rabbi Yitzchak said – “In the year when King Mashiach is revealed, all the kings of the earth will be at strife with one another, the king of Persia provokes the king of Arabia (Saudi) and the king of Arabia goes to take counsel with Aram (Rome, America?).
Then the king of Persia goes on to destroy the entire world. All the nations of the world are quaking in horror and fall on their faces gripped by pangs like the pangs of a woman giving birth. Israel will be quaking in horror, saying “Where should we come and go? Where should we come and go?”
And He says to them: My children, do not be afraid. All that I have done, I have done only for your sakes. What are you afraid of? Do not fear. The time of your Redemption has come, and not like the first redemption will be the final redemption. For the first redemption was followed by pain and subjugation to the nations. But after the final redemption, there will be no further pain or subjugation.”
The leading role of Persia/Iran on the world stage at the end of days is also attested by the graphic haggadic allegory in the opening pages of Talmud Bavli, Tractate Avodah Zara evoking the end of time Yom Eidam, “Day of Disaster” of the nations (see Avodah Zarah 2b ff).
The Holy Zohar (Bamidbar, Shlach Lecha 166a, Matok Midvash vol. 13 p. 122) explains that the words of the “writing on the wall” which appeared in Belshazzar’s palace and could be deciphered only by Daniel (Daniel chapter 5 verses 26-28), not only carry Daniel’s explicit interpretation given in the text of how Babylon’s power would pass to Persia, but also contain an allusion to how the power of Edom-Rome will at the end of days be destroyed and the dominion will pass to Persia, who will conquer many kingdoms and rule over the Holy Land for twelve months and will massacre many people and kill Mashiach ben Yosef.
After that, the king of Persia will collapse and his kingdom will fall apart, and then Mashiach ben David with the Children of Israel – the supremely holy ones – will receive the kingship.”
The scriptural source for the ultimate fall of Edom at the hands of Persia is contained in Jeremiah’s prophesy in chapter 49 verse 20, describing how “the young of the flock” will drag Edom over the dust. Rashi on this verse states that the “young of the flock” are “the most despicable of the nations, and our rabbis taught that this is Persia (=Tiras), who is the youngest of the sons of Japheth (see Genesis 9:27 and Rashi there).
Talk about dragging! The talks dragged on and on, and we have watched how Iran systematically dragged the U.S. and European negotiators over all their original “red lines” until they got everything they wanted.
The very monster that the U.S., Britain, France and Germany have created and empowered will be their nemesis. Before too long we might well see the conquest of Europe and America by Islam and Iranian missiles. It seems significant that Jeremiah’s prophecy of the fall of Edom includes the destruction of “Dodan” (Jer. 49:8), which is bang in the middle of Saudi Arabia. Jeremiah’s words against Edom (verses 15ff), which are reminiscent of those of Obadiah, allude to Rome-America, whose national symbol is the eagle (vv. 16 &22).
There is a high contemporary relevance in words in Jeremiah 49 verse 18, comparing Edom’s fall to that of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the concluding words of the prophecy against Edom (verse 22): “…and the heart of the mighty men of Edom on that day shall be like the heart of a woman in pain”.
The emasculation of America has been proceeding apace for decades with the fruition of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender strategy to normalize and aggressively promote “alternate lifestyle” to the point where the U.S. army is now giving free license to transgender personnel.
That the next President of the United States is most likely to be a woman shows how far America has come on the roadmap to self-destruction. Hilary can absolutely be depended upon to continue the current policy of demotion of the U.S. from the status of a world power and champion of freedom to the epitome of post-modern decadence and godless paganism.
The recent U.S. Supreme Court 5-4 majority decision to require all the states of the Union to recognize male-male and female-female marriages is the formal codification of this latter day Sodom. (The 5-4 ratio of the judges for and against reflects how tragically divided is America today, with people of faith who espouse the original vision of America now being a minority.)
Destination Yisrael – “There were six Roman Catholic justices currently serving on the Supreme Court; four of the Roman Catholic justices were dissenters. They included; Chief Justice John Roberts (dissent), Justice Samuel Alito (dissent), Antonin Scalia (dissent), and Justice Clarence Thomas (dissent). Two of the Roman Catholic justices were affirmers of the Supreme Court decision. They included; Justice Anthony Kennedy (affirm), Justice Sonia Sotomayor (affirm).
There were three Jewish justices currently serving on the Supreme Court; all three justices affirmed the Supreme Court decision for same-sex marriage; Justice Stephen Breyer (affirm), Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (affirm), and Justice Elena Kagen(affirm).
What is does clarify in bold relief, Protestant Christianity today and all other minority religions are not represented in the Supreme Court of the United States.”
Our rabbis state that when male-male and female-female couples write marriage documents, this brings androlomousia into the world, that is, social breakdown and chaos that kills good and bad people indiscriminately (Bereishit Rabbah 26:12 etc.). It would appear that one of the very strengths of Russia and a factor in its likely ascent is that its leaders refuse to succumb to this western madness.
Rejoice with trembling
As we watch all this unfold before our very eyes, the only possible conclusion is that just as the words of God’s true prophets and sages are being actualized in our time, so we may depend upon His loving protection and favor if we will turn to Him with all our hearts, with all our soul and all our might.
We may feel shaken by the rapid onward surge of events, but we need not and must not fear. For though we may tremble, we must rejoice that our finest hour has come, for now is our time to Witness to HaShem, each one according to his or her best abilities. Giloo B’Re’adah, Rejoice with trembling! (Psalms 2:11).
With Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av on Thursday night-Friday July 16-7, may you have a Blessed New Month and Shabbat Shalom!
If you have wondered how biblical prophecy fits into your life, and how it will affect the Return of the House of Israel, then the G-d of Israel is beginning his “call” to bring you home, too. You might desire to reconnect with your cousins the Jews and the Biblical portrayals on what is and may be happening in your near future.
This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.
For inquiries about the Kol Ha Tor Vision for the Lost Tribes of Israel,
They also offer – “a Spiritual Retreat and Guest House in Samaria that hosts Shomron (Samaria) Tours to reacquaint the Returning Lost Tribers of the House of Israel to their chosen destiny. For details refer to Shomron Lives!”,

Destination Yisrael began this series of articles titled, “The Red-Headed Israelite” first by analyzing the amazing puzzle of how “Red Hair” genetically is very rare yet has its highest concentration along the western Atlantic coastlines of Europe from western Norway and Ireland to the Basque region of Spain.
This Series first began with Part One in the article, titled, “The Enigma of the DNA Quest to find the Lost “Red Headed Israelites.” There we learned that one of the genetic markers of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel was the discovery that only one place on Planet Earth is the very rare “Red Hair Gene” located; on the Atlantic coastline of Western Europe where the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel are located.
Today she is an Israeli actress, singer, television presenter and politician from the Holon Samaritan community. Here in the Shomron (Samaria-West Bank) are the aboriginal roots of the Rb1 haplogroup of “Red Hair” now found in the final resting grounds of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel now located in Western Europe. The greatest concentration of “Red Hair” occurs along the western Atlantic coastline of Ireland, Scotland, Wales in Great Britain, Netherlands traversing down the French coastline to the Basque region of Northern Spain.
This 39-year old, Sofi Tsedaka, the striking red-headed Israeli star of Jewish soap operas and children’s TV shows, is a composite picture of the soon greater ground-swelling of Lost Ten Israelites who will be making aliyah back home to the land of their forefathers in the Shomron region of Israel. Yet this great Exodus from their 3,700 year exile from the former region of the Northern Kingdom of Israel is about over and hundreds of millions of Lost Israelites will begin their last journey home to Greater Israel.
Sofi is part of the last legacy of the Samaritans of biblical fame noted for their rebellions against the G-d of Israel because they believed that they had a clearer understanding of the Torah presentation at Sinai than the Jewish rabbanim. This hubris has also led to their isolation as 1.5 million Samaritans in the 4th to the 5th century CE have now dwindled down to a mere 705 living Samaritans in the region of Samaria, a land coveted by the radical Islamic Palestinians today of Hamas and Fatah and in the city of Homa near Tel Aviv today.
This makes Sofi’s story so iconic is that the rejection by her own peoples for her conversion to Judaism exposes the “great rift” that divides the ancient Israelites and the Jews that still exists today. It is also highlights the pathway of her full redemption in the “world to come” that is increasingly and eagerly expected by a growing chorus of Jews and Lost Israelites around the world. This is in anticipation of the full revealing of the Maschiach ben Dovid as the “Era of the Maschiach” begins to unfold as early as Rosh Hashanah 2016.
This Israeli pop star recently demonstrated her diversity when she debuted her recent CD title, “Bereishit” or “Genesis” where the smooth chords of Hebrew interweave in the lilting language of the Ancient Samaritan peoples. Sofi’s last name, Tsedaka, which means “Charity” in both Hebrew and the Samaritan language, is a more ancient form of Hebrew.
Sofi like all other of the Samaritan children studied in Israeli schools. In the afternoon, she studied the Samaritan language and religion. By the time of her graduation from high school, she was prepared to abandon her native heritage in which she called “the suffocating confines of Samaritan life.”
She secretly began to study for conversion to Judaism and with the announcement of her marriage to a Jewish man, she entered Jewish life. She was excommunicated by the Samaritan sect, and later she and her husband filed for divorce, she still has their two children, a girl and a boy. This all was woven into her new song, “Bereishit” of a world she was given birth in, and later abandoned in early adulthood.
As she intones upon the first chapter of Genesis, she creates again a world she left behind with the rhythms and whooping chants of Samaritan songs and prayers, but again wants to reengage within her journey of a world she abandoned and was then was ostracized, yet now after a decade she sings again of a life, “erasing what’s past, not afraid to walk on a street I haven’t crossed for a long time.”
During these traumatic years, along with Sofi, her three sisters also followed the pathway of their elder sister as another family unit of Samaritans moved into a new life of Judaism. Her father, Baruch Tsedaka now 70 has been “torn between the community and his family. Her father bemoans that his daughter has left to the “seductions” of secular society. Though they keep in touch with only a few miles separating parents and daughter, Sofi has never been back home and neither has she ever been invited.
The Jewish Version of the Origins of the Samaritans.
The Jewish Bible, called the TaNaKh or the Migra, is the canon of the Hebrew Bible. Today it is preserved in the Masoretic Text. Yet, the TaNaKh is but an acronym of the first letter of each of the Masoretic Text’s traditional subdivisions called the “Torah” or the “Teachings” accepted as the first five books of Moses, the “Nevi’im” called the “Prophets” and the Ketuvim, called the “Writings” hence the “TaNaKh.”
The “Migra” which means “that which is read” is another name for the TaNaKh, which according to the rabbinic traditions of the “Mechoquek” is also accompanied by the Oral Tradition called the Oral Torah, on how to interpret and live the “Life of Torah.”
The lineage of the High Priest initially went from Aaron to his son, Eleazar the High Priest to Aaron’s son, Phinehas or Phineas (Pinchas). Phineas or Pinchas early distinguished himself by saving the Children of Israel when in the era of the Blessings and Curses of Balaam, the Children of Israel began to sexually intermingle themselves with the Moabites and the Midianites, who were the descendants from the incestuous relationship of Lot, Abraham’s nephew and his two daughters after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
It was in the height of the rebellion of the Children of Israel called the “Heresy of Peor” that Phineas, the grandson of Aaron went into the tent of one of the leaders of the heresy and executed the Israelite man and the Midianite woman with a spear. By doing do, he stopped a vast plague running through the camp of the Israelites and saved the remainder who had not fallen to the idolatrous practices brought by the Midianite women and halting the desecration of the Mishkhan, the Wilderness Tabernacle. And so the lineage of the High Priest of Israel, the Ha Gadol went from Aaron, to Eleazar, then to Phineas.
The feud between the Northern and the Southern tribes of the Israelites continued to simmer and broke out into a full civil war after the death of King Solomon. The former United Kingdom of Kings David and Solomon was split into two kingdoms, Judah in the south, with Jerusalem as its capital, and Israel in the north whose capital was established in Samaria.
The two kingdoms struggled for two centuries, and several times went to war with each other. Corruption reigned in both kingdoms and before they could destroy each other, it took the emergence of the Assyrian Empire and it rulers to conqueror the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
According to the Biblical story, as edited by the chronologers of the Kingdom of Judah, the Samaritans descended from peoples deported by the Assyrians, from other parts of the empire, during the 8th BCE and were resettled in Samaria.
One of these people, according to the Bible, were the “Cuthean” who were brought from Cutha. Eventually “Cuthean” became the Jews derogatory nickname, for the Samaritans. Later, those new inhabitants, named “lion proselytes”, (2 Kings 17) as they adopted a form of Israelite religion as a response to a plague of lions sent by God to punish them for ignoring the G-d of the land.
The Jewish resources, in a polemic attitude do not distinguish between the new inhabitants, and the original residents of Samaria, who survived the Assyrian Exile, and maybe intentionally, denominate the whole People of Samaria as Samaritans.
Sargon’s Inscriptions
The Assyrian King, who conquered Samaria in 721- 722, was Sargon the Second (721-705 B.C.E). In one of Sargon’s inscriptions he testifies as follows:
Sargon the Great - “From my first year to the fifteen, of my kingship, I besieged and conquered Samarina. I took as booty 27,290 people who lived there. I gathered 50 chariots from them. I taught the rest of the deportees their skills. I set my eunuch over them, and I imposed upon them the same tribute as the previous king (Shalmaneser V).”
Nimrud Prisms
In other Inscription from Nimrud Prisms (COS 2.118D, pp. 295-296,):
Nimrud Prisms - “…the Samar]ians [who had agreed with a hostile king]…I fought with them and decisively defeated them. 27,280 people who lived there…carried off as spoil. 50 chariots for my royal force…[the rest of them I settled in the midst of Assyria]….
The Tamudi, Ibadidi, Marsimani and Hayappa, who live in distant Arabia, in the desert, who knew neither overseer nor commander, who never brought tribute to any king–with the help of Ashur my lord, I defeated them. I deported the rest of them. I settled them in Samaria/Samerina…”
According to both of Sargon’s inscriptions, only 27,290 (or 27.280) of the people who lived in Samaria, were exiled by the Assyrians, while according to the Bible, only the landowners in Samaria, numbered about 60,000 people. (2 Kings 42:15, 19 - 20 – thousands of Talents of silver, which equal to 1 million Shekels, divided to 50 shekels per person). This indicates, that most of the population in Samaria survived the exile, and necessity, have influenced the new resident’s religion. In the next centuries, the kings of the Assyrian empire kept bringing, in a foreign population, from other areas of the empire, to the area of Samaria.
In 2 Chronicles chapter 30, which according to Bible’s scholars was composed at the end of the Persian era, we learn that King Hiskiyah, who ruled Judah between 726-715, had sent posts to all Israel and Judea, asking them to take a part in the Passover sacrifice in Jerusalem:
2 Chronicles 30:1 – “And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel.”
2 Chronicles 30:6 – “So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying: ‘Ye children of Israel, turn back unto the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that He may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.”
2 Chronicles 30:7-10 – “And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted treacherously against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He delivered them to be an astonishment, as ye see. Now be ye not stiff necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that His fierce anger may turn away from you.
For if ye turn back unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come back into this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him.’
So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.”
In 2 Chronicles chapter 34:9, in the time of King Josiah, who ruled Judah in the years 649-609, the author of the book, tells a story about contributions made by the descendants of the tribes Menash and Ephraim, and the remnant of the Israelite kingdom in Samaria, to the decontamination of the Palace in Jerusalem:
2 Chronicles chapter 34:9 - “And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and they returned to Jerusalem.”
From here we can learn, that most of the Israelites – people of Samaria, stayed in the area and were not exiled by the Assaryan. We can also learn that they adhered to Samaria and didn’t feel they belonged to Jerusalem and neither to its population.
It’s also interesting to see, that those who humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem, became a “Real Israelite”, and were accepted by the Jews, in contrast with those who have remained in Samaria.”
A distant relative, Benjamin Tsedaka, an internationally known scholar of the Samaritans, in a recent AP article, he stated that despite the “seductions” of secular society, only 3 percent of the Samaritan young people leave the group. “Sofi gave in to the seductions…We don’t throw them out, but we’d rather they don’t come.” Yet, as Benyamin in response to her new musical album, it might help generate new interest in the Samaritans. “Sofi is providing a service to us with her talent and beauty, but that doesn’t mean we welcome her with open arms.”
Yet even Benjamin Tsedaka may have to concede to the great divide between the dwindling people of the Ancient Samaritans. After 3,000 years, since the inaugural celebrations of the United Kingdom of Israel, when the G-d of Israel was actively involved in the construction of Solomon’s Temple, the presence of the Shekinah Glory in the Holy of Holiest and the daily bolt of fire upon the offerings in the daily sacrifices to the L-rd were truly evidence of the Divine pleasure upon the House of G-d built upon Mount Moriah in Jerusalem.
The fact that the Samaritans, even to this day, are seeking to legitimize this great divide between the Samaritans and the Orthodox Jews, is also suggestive that the humility of Moses and Aaron have not dwelt upon the people even to this day. This great divide will have to be rectified on a spiritual plane, yet may only take place when the “days of the Messiah” have come and the Almighty One of Israel will no longer remain hidden. There is no doubt that HaShem will place His seal of divine approval upon the Mechoquek and the Oral Torah they have so zealously sought to preserve its sacred writings.
In the year of 2013, Benyamin Tsedaka’s long awaited, “The Israelite Samaritan Version of the Torah” was released for publication. For the first time, we now have an English translation of both the Samaritan Torah and the Jewish Torah. This translation highlights over 6000 differences (3000 significant differences) between the Samaritan Israelite Pentateuch and the Jewish Masoretic Torah.
Noted scholars assisting in this notable translation included, Professor Charlesworth of Princeton University, Professor Emanuel Tov of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and Professor Steven Fine of Yeshiva University in the New York City. One asks the question, were any of the notable rabbis in Jerusalem, Israel or abroad also involved in the translation comparisons?
Is the purpose of the Samaritan Version of the Torah to try to mend and rectify the breaches between the Samaritans and the Jewish rabbanim in Israel? If not, then the soon coming Messiah will have to bridge the breeches that may also impose the judgments of the Divine Architect of the Universe upon the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who seek judgment upon the Jews and refuse to shake the hand of brotherhood in humility preparing for the Era of the Messiah to seal HaShem approval, for it was He who gave the Torah to the Nation of Israel at the mount of Sinai.
The scholarly translation now opens the investigation by Jewish scholars called the Mechoquek, the G-d appointed legal judiciary who are the guardians of the Written Torah and the interpreters of the Oral Torah. This will also open up the inquiry of the Samaritan Pentateuch’s ties to the Dead Sea Scrolls and the ties to the Septuagint called the “Translation of the Seventy” (70 Jewish scholars) in the 3rd to the 2nd century BCE. This was later historical event was sponsored by the Greek-Egyptian ruler, Ptolemy II that translated the Hebrew TaNaKh (Hebrew Old Testament) from Hebrew to Koine Greek, the lingua franca of Alexandria, Egypt and the Western Mediterranean region of that era.
The story of the former Samaritan, the authentic descendant of the Tribe of Ephraim, now the Orthodox Jew, Sofi Sarah Tsedaka, is a story in a microcosm of what may occur in just a few more months due to the continuous decay and chaos in the international world of “peace and safety”. On the other hand, the story of Sofi Sarah Tsedaka, is a true story of the reclamation, redemption and restoration of one Lost Israelite who as an inductee into the Israeli IDF was also taught about Judaism and became an Orthodox Jew.
This story will be retold a million fold in the upcoming months as the era of the Messiah looms closer into our spiritual horizon. It will not be a part of the collective wisdom of man seeking to serve his own destiny, but the slow unveiling of the One G-d of Israel who with the “Voice of the Turtledove” will woo and bring his errant children, Jews and Lost Ten Tribers alike for their final redemption to the new Gan Eden in the Land of Israel. Let us read the words of the residing rabbi for Kol Ha Tor, Rabbi Avraham Feld as he describes this Divine mission unfolding in front of our eyes.
Rabbi Avraham Feld – “The saintly and great Chassidic Rebbe, Rav Menachem Mendel of Kortzk, once explained; just as people look so different, and appearances are varied, so are their ideas and overviews not alike. As one is not bothered by difference in appearances, so one need not be disturbed by differences in the way others think.
There can be little doubt that the current movement toward the original Jewish religion and culture among an ever-growing mass of non–Jewish Bible students across the word, must be the fulfillment of the multiple Prophecies contained in the Bibleregarding the future re-identification and return of the Lost Ten tribes of Israel.
This group is referred to throughout the TaNaKh as “The House of Israel”, as opposed to “The House of Judah.” (Refer to the “Restoration of the House of Israel”)…The return would have been must faster had it not been for major obstacles which strain closer relations between the two greatly –estranged Houses of Israel…
The House of Israel, meaning the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, currently consist of many people with Christian backgrounds who are experiencing a strong awareness and interest in Jewish religious tenets and culture. These people are gradually adopting various great teachings of Judaism, while many of them are totally unaware of the Prophetic reality of such a turnaround.
Through their study of the Bible, these people are also in a process of adopting and practicing the ancient and eternal principles of Judaism. Their spiritual evolutionary process, when they do become aware of its nature, draws them to learning about their biological, historical, cultural and religious heritage while developing the realization of possibly being part of the nation of Israel.
They are often totally unaware of this possible Hebraic heritage. These people are part of a Movement that is known as Messianic Israel, Two-House, Hebrew Roots, Restoration, Ephraim, Joseph, 10-Israel, etc. Many of these people are at different levels of coming out of Christianity and therefore are at different levels of understanding and of accepting or adopting their Israelite heritage…
10-Israel does not respect what Catholicism has to say and in fact they have the tendency to believe just the opposite. 10-Israel does not like to be called Christians, or G-d forbid, Catholic! They feel that they are in the process of coming out of pagan Christian indoctrination and are becoming the Israel that the Bible portrays and requires.
Many Rabbis and Jewish scholars believe that the Lost Tribes will specifically emerge from Christianity. Many of the emerging returnees, at this advanced sage, feel that they are on the road to ultimately accepting historic Orthodox, Sage-led Torah Judaism. In the meantime, they appreciate and enjoy the status of being the son of Noah, along with the rest of humanity. All Jews know and are very proud that they are descendants of Noah, specifically his righteous son Shem.”
The story of Sofi Sarah Tsedaka is a true story of the reclamation, redemption and restoration of one Lost Israelite who as an inductee into the Israeli IDF was also taught about Judaism and became an Orthodox Jew. This story will be retold in the upcoming months as the era of the Messiah looms closer into our spiritual horizon.
At that time, it will not be just one Israelite but millions in the face of World War III, where Russia and China may once again be antagonists again against America and NATO from the European Union, in the war that will design the fate of Iran’s nuclear ambitions that was created for one purpose; to finish the failed Holocaust of the Jews created by Haman the Agagite in the days of King Ahasuerus (King Cyrus the Great and Queen Esther). Here Haman sought to destroy forever the presence of Jewish people living in the Land of Persia in a massive genocide designed for their permanent destruction. This story has been told and retold by BibleSearchers Reflections and Destination Yisrael in the following articles titled:

The G-d of Israel proclaimed that there are only two groups of people who will be restored back into covenant with Him, the Jews of the House of Israel and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Both families, the Jews and the Israelites were scattered across the face of the earth and would become HaShem emissaries incognito sent to elevate the 70 nations of the world, so that even Righteous Gentiles could become part of the covenant.
Even the children of Ishmael still rooted in Islam, the children of the Lost Ten Tribes who today are now Buddhist, or the Lost Ten Tribes who today call themselves Christians will be assimilated into the Jewish culture. This will be because deep in their hearts they are known by the Divine to be “safe to save” and willing to live in peace with their brothers; all descendants of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Only the G-d of Israel knows who they are.
We are quickly being polarizing a world in which there will be only two choices; we are either for the Hebrew Israelites; both now part of the Jews of the house of Judah and the Lost Israelites of the House of Israel or we will be against them. This comes to one sobering conclusion, if you are a descendant of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, whether Muslim, Buddhist or Christian, and you still despise your brothers, the Jews, you may be left outside, not redeemed to participate in the coming “Era of the Messiah” even though you think you want to be a part of them.
If you have wondered how biblical prophecy fits into your life, and how it will affect the Return of the House of Israel, then the G-d of Israel is beginning his “call” to bring you home, too. You might desire to reconnect with the Biblical portrayals on what is and may be happening in your near future. This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Destination Yisrael began this series of articles titled, “The Red-Headed Israelite” first by analyzing the amazing puzzle of how “Red Hair” genetically is very rare yet has its highest concentration along the western Atlantic coastlines of Europe from western Norway and Ireland to the Basque region of Spain. Surprisingly this is the homeland today of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
This Series can first be read in the article, titled, “The Enigma of the DNA Quest to find the Lost “Red Headed Israelites.” We will continue our quest to rediscover the Lost Israelites but to do so we have to go to the home base, the homeland of the House of Joseph where the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh once lived and whose remnant are struggling today to keep a dynamic presence before they are reunited and absorbed into the Greater Jewish society in the State of Israel.
Destination Yisrael began this series of articles analyzing the amazing puzzle of how “Red Hair” genetically is very rare yet has its highest concentration along the western Atlantic coastlines of Europe from western Norway and Ireland to the Basque region of Spain. This investigation can be read in the article, titled, “The Enigma of the DNA Quest to find the Lost “Red Headed Israelites.” We will continue our quest to rediscover the Lost Israelites but to do so we have to go to the home base, the homeland of the House of Joseph where the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh once lived and whose remnant are struggling today to keep a dynamic presence before they are reunited and absorbed into the Greater Jewish society in the State of Israel.
It was in the 8th century BCE that the Samaritans of the House of Joseph, later called the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel were collectively ruled by the Tribe of Joseph whose descendants were the Tribe of Ephraim and Manasseh. They were cast out of their homelands by the Assyrians and sent into exile in the land of Khorasan, by the Caspian and the Black Seas by the G-d of Israel.
The seriousness of their crimes against the Holy One of Israel was for their apostasy, corruption, and rebellion against the dynastic rulers of Kings David and Solomon. They refused to worship in the Temple of Solomon, refused to enter the city of Jerusalem and celebrate with the Jews during the yearly Jewish festivals, and refused to accept the Mechoquek of Judah, the Jewish rabbanim as the legal Torah scholars for 12-Tribed Israel.
In the Book of Ezekiel, they were called the “Brazen-faced and Hard-hearted:
Ezekiel 2:4 – “He said to me, ‘Son of Man, I send you to the Children of Israel to the rebellious nations that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have defiantly sinned against Me to this very day; and the children are brazen-faced and hard hearted – I send you to them.”
These tribes were called the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The central governance of their kingdom was the tribal land of Samaria, where the modern Palestinians people are trying today to take this land to be the “Nation of Palestine”, but there is one problem. This deed of trust and the title to the land has already been promised by the Creator of the Universe to be for the restoration of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel (Ezekiel 36).
These tribes were instead exiled to the land that today encompasses the region of Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan. These tribes still exist today and are populated by the largest tribe of the region; the Bani-Israel peoples called the Pashtuns Tribal peoples.
With their Jewish cousins, now exiled to the land of Babylon and under the rule of the Jewish Exilarchs of Baghdad, the Lost Ten Tribes continued to live through the Achaemenid Persian Empire of King Cyrus the Great and Queen Esther, through their son, King Darius. In fact, the entire military forces of Cyrus the Great were from the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
Not only that, their general was Gobryas, a king from the Guti tribe or the Tribe of Gad. Collectively, they invaded and conquered the most impregnable city in the world, the city of Babylon. They did this without shedding even a drop of Jewish blood.
Yet through the royal descendants of King Darius, the Israelite royal dynastic lineage continued through the Second Sassanid Persian Empire. While these Israelites were empire building, their other tribal cousins were migrating through the region between the Caspian and the Black Sea where the Georgian Empire was once ruled during the era of the Roman Catholic Crusades in Israel, as the largest empire of the region; the Georgian Empire that was ruled by descendants of King David. The rest of the migrating Israelites migrated above and below the Black Sea heading west and became known as the “Great Wanderers.”
They were known as the Royal Scythiansas they migrated above the Black Sea as first the Ghomerians (House of Omer, father of King Ahab), later the Cummerians or Cimmerians, and even later as the Celtic and Cymric peoples migrated from the Caspian Sea regions. They traveled under the Black Sea towards the west. There they scattered themselves from this region into ancient Gaul to the north, east and west.
Not only were they known in the northern regions above the Black Sea as the Scythians, but also the Sarmatians, and to the south east of the Caspian Sea as the Parthians. The Lost Ten Tribes became a people, independent yet allied on and off over the centuries with each other as they eventually entered into Northern Gaul in the 3rd to the 2nd century BCE.
One hundred years later after the Northern Kingdom of Israel was sent into exile around 702 BCE, the Jewish people in the Southern Kingdom of Judah began their rebellion against the same G-d of Israel. He pled and admonished them through the pen and the voice of the prophetic sage’s advice of the Prophet Jeremiah; speaking the “words of the L-rd”.
Like their Northern cousins, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, the Southern Jewish Kingdom of Judah revolted and rebelled against and were destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar, the rising star of the imperial state of Babylon in 586 BCE.
Keeping true to the biblical or Jewish historical calendar instead of the anthropological calendars of ice ages represented over tens of thousands of years, we have to decipher what life was like in Central Eurasia in the era after the Great Noachian Flood (2350 BCE), the Great Exodus from Egypt about 1575 BCE, and the era of the Davidian Dynasty during reigns of Kings David and Solomon around 1000 BCE.
As the flood waters began to recede, it is safe to assume that it took centuries as more and more land that was under global flood waters receded and restored the regions of the Middle East into vast plains of pristine forests, meadows and prairies.
When the Children of Israel fled from Egypt around 1575 BCE, it was only 700 years after the Great Flood of Noah. Huge regions of Eurasia were still covered with immense lake regions. Grassy meadows spread across the arc from Europe in the West and Greater Asia in the East. This vast lake region centered from Van where the Ark of Noah settled to its final resting place near Mount Ararat.
Here was the home of Noah and Shem for many centuries, a place of refuge where Abram, the young son of Terah, the Oracular Priest of Nimrod’s Kingdom was taken as a place of safe keeping away from the long arm of the executioners in the days of King Nimrod. It was he who observed the oracles in the heavens at the birth of Abram, knew that this young male child would someday be responsible for Nimrod’s demise.
Abram was tutored by Noah and Shem on how life was like in the pre-diluvian world before the flood. We can learn more about these great regions of lush meadows and prairies during the time of the Exodus as preserved in the Destination Yisrael article titled, “Was the Sinai Peninsula a Rocky Desert or Lush Wilderness Plains during the Exodus?”
Destination Yisrael – “We would expect to find this same lush beauty in the days of Abraham, when he was living in the biblical heartland of Israel in Shomron and later in the southern regions of Canaan in the southwest where he was pasturing his vast flocks of sheep and cattle. Nearby, his nephew Lot chose to go east to a beautiful and lush garden region called the Vale of Siddim where the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were located.
We do know that Abram and Isaac had to dig wells to water their vast flocks, but there is no indication that they had to irrigate fields in which to grow grains or grass for their flocks to eat. In those days, Abram, who once was the son of an oracular high priest of Sumer, was now a Potentate from the region of Sumer, now living in the land of Canaan. He was well known and highly respected.
Consider the fact that Abraham (2056-1881 BCE) was only ten generations from the Great Flood of Noah that destroyed the whole earth about 2350 BCE. If the biblical Exodus did occur somewhere between 1550-1575 BCE, it was about 450 years after the birth of Isaac, and 210 years after Jacob descended into the land of Egypt. According to a strict chronology of the patriarchal ages, it would suggest that the historical era from Abraham’s ancestral Patriarch Noah to the day of the Exodus was only about 800 years after the world catastrophe called the Noachian Flood; about the same number of years since the Roman Catholic Crusades in the 13th century BCE and today.
During this era of catastrophic upheavals, about 775 years after the Flood, the Nile apocalypse of 10 plagues would cascade down upon the land of Egypt. Six months later, two million Hebrew-Israelites were fleeing towards the biblical lands of the Patriarchal forefathers; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in which would be still be remembered three and a half millenniums later as “The Exodus”.
Yet the fullest extent of this catastrophic era was not over when the Hebrew-Israelites fled Egypt. Neither did the two million Bnei Yisrael leave an ancient land of antiquity behind, but rather they left a destroyed imperial state; there were more catastrophes still to come.
The great devastation in Egypt was only a part of a larger Middle Eastern catastrophe that had not ended. All across the Middle East, volcanoes were erupting, the seas were boiling. If it appeared that they were leaving a land of destruction, what was not anticipated was that in seven days, they would be experiencing the most dramatic of all catastrophes that have occurred in the world to date; the parting of the Red Sea. Yet during these few days, the Hebrew-Israelites were racing for their lives across virgin meadows and wilderness plains that would allow them to reach the place of their ultimate destination.”
The Lost Israelites that were “left behind” after being banished from their tribal homelands in the 8th century BCE, were then amalgamated with the populations of prisoners transported from other regions of the Assyrian Empire to inhabit the ancient land of Israel.
Let us not forget, those left behind were the farmers who could still care for themselves, and it was they who became the Samaritans or those who lived in the land of Samaria, living near the capital city of the Northern Kingdom of Israel called Samaria.
They would become the aboriginal Samarians that would eventually be known as Samaritans. Today, their descendants live in two communities near Mount Gerizim in Samaria; Kiryat Luza located in the West Bank and in the city of Holon, near Tel Aviv in Israel.
Strange as it may be, the few hundred Samaritans left living in these regions today, are a testimony that 12-Tribed Israel once lived throughout these regions. What is known, they are also not the ancestors of the modern Palestinian Arab people.
Today the number of Ethnic Samaritans that live in the region of Samaria called “Shomron” number only about 700. Yet, it is feared by many that they may be doomed to extinction as they once numbered about 1.5 million between the 4th and the 5th centuries and dwindling down since that day.
Part of it is the continuing assimilation of the Samaritan peoples back into Judaism and Jewish cultural and pluralistic society. Those that live at Kiryat Luza in Shomron (Samaria) today are being threatened there by the Palestinian State who through the United Nations or the International Criminal Court of Justice in Brussels is seeking to create a Jundenrein (“clean of Jews”) State or a Judenfrei (“free of Jews”) region. To the radical Muslims, the Samaritans are the same as the Jews.
This land devoid of Jews was Yasser Arafat’s vison of a modern Fatah State of Palestine or Hamas’ political leader Khaled Meshaal’s vison as a modern day “Haman” to rule an Amalekite government, “Hamas” as a Palestinian State. It is also Meshaal’s fondest dreams to complete the failed Persian genocide of the Jewish people in Persia that was fulfilled in part by Adolf Hitler, the Rothschild Jewish descendant who virtually wiped out the Jewish presence in Europe and completed the Jewish Holocaust.
This was first dreamt about in the mind of the Persian prime minister, Haman in the days of King Cyrus the Great (King Ahasuerus) and his Jewess Queen Esther. This time, they seek to complete Haman’s dream of a Holocaust by the Hamas, the modern day Amalekites seeking to incite the whole region of the Middle East into a land devoid of Jews. Yet, the G-d of Israel has other plans:
Psalms 83 – “Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered Ones.
They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’ For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against You:
The tents of Edom (Saudi Arabia) and the Ismaelites; Moab and the Hagerites; Gebel, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. Selah"
The facts exist that most Westerners do not realize that the Samaritans still exist today. For any person walking down the street, you cannot identity a Jew from a Samaritan. The Samaritans speak Modern Hebrew and/or Palestinian Arabic as their mother tongue. A language known as Samaritan Hebrew and Samaritan Aramaic is used for their worship services.
Many Christians today visiting the Land of Israel associate these indigenous Israelite peoples with the New Testament parable called “The Good Samaritan.” They also relate to the encounter between the Prince of David, the Hasidic rabbi called Yahshua and the Samaritan woman at the well, whom he elevated her sense of spiritual consciousness with the concept that she also had destiny and a future in the World to Come.
Yet over the last two millenniums, the Samaritan peoples have diminished in number due to forced conversion, persecution as a people, and murdered. According to Rabbi Arnold Mark Belzer:
Rabbi Arnold Mark Belzer – “Many of these peoples have found that it is a lot more comfortable to live in the Israeli culture than in the predominately Arab culture.”
Even though they were rivals in ancient times, when the Samaritans tried to sabotage the rebuilding of the walls of Ancient Jerusalem and the Temple of Zerubbabel during the era of the Nehemiah, the governor of Judea for the Persian Shah Darius; today they see each other as allies in a Middle Eastern world that today does not want any Semitic presence.
As they have sought to find a solution of peace between tribal brothers from Ancient Israel, the Samaritans are also providing a model for the future day, when the House of Joseph, represented by the ancient Lost Israelites Ephraim and Manasseh will also return to the Land of Israel and be settled once again into the lands of their forefathers.
Since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War when the Jewish people gained sovereignty rights over the region of Shomron, the mountains of Judea, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, we can see in this prophetic mini-vignette that the House of Israel and the House of Judah are both ripe for the final revealing of Klal Yisrael, “All 12-Tribed Israel” and the future Greater Israel to the 70 nations of the world at the “time of the end.”
Rabbi Arnold Mark Belzer – “To be able to say in this world that an ancient people still exists and actually is growing in numbers, I think that's one of your modern miracles. That's a miracle all the Jewish people share with them.”
It was about 1352 CE, that Ibn Al-Hasan al-Samiri al-Danafi (Abu-I-Fath), a Samaritan chronicler wrote about a major rift between the Northern 10 Tribes of the Israelites and the Jews to the south in Jerusalem. He was commissioned to write his major work titled, “Kitab al-Ta’rikh” in the 14th century by Pinhas, the Samaritan high priest. In the year of 1356 CE, he wrote a compilation of the history of the Samaritan peoples using more ancient sources from the days of Adam to Mohammed.
The Samaritans who prefer to call themselves “Israelites”, are the remnant of the twelve tribes of Israel who lived in the days of the “Judges” in the 11th B.C.E. During these years the twelve tribes of Israel were not located in their separate kingdoms but rather they settled in their own tribal boundaries as partitioned to them by Joshua (Jesus) son of Nun, who carried the mantle of Moses the Prophet and conquered the land of Canaan.
Yet, even in this era, three hundred fifty years before the reign of Kings David and Solomon, the demarcation between the tribes of the North and the tribes of the South were already laying their roots of dissent and division. The Northern Tribes were laying claim to their historical traditions that the Mishkhan (Wilderness Tabernacle) should reside on Mount Gerizim.
Destination Yisrael – “The performance of the ceremony in the book of Joshua differs somewhat from the instructions that were given in the book of Deuteronomy. For various reasons, the student (Joshua) deviated from the instructions of his teacher (Moses). The people were divided into two in the valley – half of them looked westward toward the summit of Mount Ebal, while the other looked eastward, toward the summit of Mount Kabir, which, according to Zertal, is the biblical Mount Gerizim. In any case, it is likely that those in attendance were careful not to turn their backs on the Ark of the Covenant, which, according to scripture, stood beside the altar.
Another aspect that is important to the ceremony is acoustics. The valley is laid out in such a way that speakers near the altar are audible from everywhere in the valley. We stood approximately 600 meters away from the altar and two soldiers ascended it and called out: “Am Yisrael hai” (long live Israel). Despite the airplanes up above, the murmuring of the group and the ringing of the cell phones, we heard it very well.
Professor Adam Zertal – “In recent decades, during which the debate over the Bible’s historical accuracy has broken out with even greater vigor, I can say with absolute certainty that going out in the field, the archaeological survey that we have been conducting over the past 34 years and the excavations have revealed that the vast majority of the historical data that appears in the Bible about the beginnings of the Israelite nation are accurate.”
It was in this era when the Wilderness Tabernacle was still residing at the site of Joshua’s Altar at Mount Gerizim that an “elderly priest” called Eli, the son of Yefune, who was a descended from the lineage of Itamar, the son of Aaron, the high priest, that the northern tribes rose in dissent concerning where the “Chosen Place” was eventually be located and where the future Temple of G-d would eventually be located.
Until the days of the Judge Eli, the Mishkhan (Wilderness Tabernacle) had rested on the Mount called Gerizim where the “Blessings and Curses” were given by the Israelite General, Joshua ben Nun (Joshua son of Nun or Yeshua ben Nun or Jesus son of Nun). At this time the Promised Land of Israel was divided into the tribal homelands. Here was the place where the “Declaration of Independence of the Nation of Israel” was first fulfilled after being first instituted at the mount called Sinai as the Nation of Israel.
Mount Moriah was still under the control of the Jebusites at their military fortress called Salem. It would be decades later before the Wilderness Tabernacle called the Mishkhan would be taken to Jerusalem in the days of King David when he began making preparations for the construction of the Temple of Solomon.
Now decades earlier, in the days of Judges of Israel, a dispute arose as to who represented the authentic lineage of the high priest from the genealogical lineage of Aaron, the chosen High Priest at the Mount called Sinai. Which of the priestly lineages would continue to be the care-taker of the Mishkhan, the Wilderness Tabernacle and the Guardian of the Ark of the Covenant?
Uzi, the son of Bachki, of the priestly lineage of Phineas, the son of Aaron was the promised and chosen High Priest in the era of the judges. Yet the “old priest” Eli, the son of Yehune, who was a descendant from the lineage of Ithamar, the son of Aaron left Mount Gerizim and took with him the Mishkhan, the Wilderness Tabernacle and the oracular throne of G-d’s presence to the Children of Israel in the Ark of the Covenant. According to the story of the Samaritans, Eli the Judge, usurped the lineage of the High Priesthood from the descendants of Phineas and established a new cultic site at Shiloh, now rivaling the site at Mount Gerizim.
Understandably this was before the rise of the United Monarchy of Kings David and Solomon, where the Holy Temple of Solomon was erected not on Mount Gerizim but now on Mount Moriah, where according to the history of the Jews, Abraham offered Isaac upon the altar, but Isaac’s life was saved by angelic intervention. In a way, we may assume that with the miraculous presence of the Divine first shooting down from the heavens daily upon the fire altar in the temple was but a reminder that HaShem, the G-d of Israel was giving his Divine blessing upon Mount Moriah and the temple at Mount Gerizim continued to fade into the mist of history.
This story of the Samaritan Temple on Mount Gerizim has been recounted in detail in the article on Samaritan.com titled, “The Schism between the Jews and Samaritans” that records the writings of the author of the major work of Samaritan history, the Samaritan chronicler, Abu’l –Fath, of the fourteenth century C.E., who tells the story as follows from the perspective of the feud between the Ancient Samaritans and the Jews in the days of the Judges of Israel:
Samaritan chronicler, Abu’l –Fath, of the fourteenth century C.E. - “A terrible civil war broke out between Eli son of Yafni, of the line of Ithamar, and the sons of Phineas, because Eli, son of Yafune, resolved to usurp the High Priesthood from the descendants of Phineas. He used to offer sacrifices on the altar of stones. He was 50 years old, endowed with wealth and was in charge of the treasury of the Children of Israel.
He offered a sacrifice on the altar, but without salt, as he were inattentive. When the Great High Priest Azzi (Uzzi) learned of this, and found that the sacrifice was not accepted, he thoroughly disowned him and it is said he rebuked him (Eli).
Thereupon he (Eli) and the group that sympathized with him, rose in revolt and at once he and his followers and his beasts set off for Shiloh. Thus Israel split into factions.
He sent to their leaders saying to them, “Anyone who would like to see wonderful things, let him come to me.” Then he assembled a large group around him in Shiloh, and built a Temple for himself there.
Now, he (Eli) had two sons, Hophni and Phineas, who rounded up young women of attractive appearance and brought them to the Tabernacle which had been built by his father. He let them savor the food of the sacrifices, and had intercourse with them inside the Tabernacle. At this time the Children of Israel became three factions:
A loyal faction on Mount Gerizim
A heretical faction that followed false god.
A faction that followed Eli to Shiloh
This event, not only brought a major separation, between the Israelites, but also marked the end of the ‘Rhuta’ (means grace in Aramaic) – “The Days of the Grace”, and the beginning of the ‘Fanuta’ (means concealment in Aramaic) – the days of the concealment of God from his people. The latter will end, according to the Samaritan tradition, in “The End of the Days” when the Saviour (‘Thab’ – means the Returner) will show up.
There is no rational interpretation, in the Jewish sources, for the passage of the High Priesthood from the lineage of Phineas to continue to the lineage of Itamar. The Tabernacle (Mishkhan), according to the Jewish Sources, was transferred after the death of Eli, to Nob (a village near Jerusalem) and after the death of Samuel it was transferred from Nob to Gibeon (a city north of Jerusalem).
Only after 440 years, since the entrance of the Children of Israel to the land Canaan, the cult site, was transferred by kings David and Solomon, to Jerusalem, while the Samaritans still keeping the Holy Chosen Place on Mt. Gerizim.”
To gain a perspective of the lineages of the High Priest from the House of Aaron, let us remember that Ithamar was the youngest son of Aaron the High Priest: that included Nadav and Avihu, Eleazar and Ithamar as noted in Exodus 6:23. Nadab and Avihu were known to be righteous men, and spiritualists seeking to mend the whole earth.
Regardless of Nadab and Abihu's transgressions, their intentions and motives were noble and devotional. They desired to be close to G-d. They were filled with passion and fervor. They felt holy and pure, and by extension, they felt that their every thought and action was holy and pure. They thought that they had a better idea with their offering to G-d in the Tabernacle. Yet, G-d did not ask for this offering that neither did they consult with Moshe their tzaddik.
Even so the experience they had received just prior to this moment of time was one of exaltation and now they were special. They had just been asked by the Almighty One of Israel to come close to Him at the Mount called Sinai as G-d was to give instruction to Moses on the mount in preparation of giving the Torah.
As Rabbi Ari Kahn wrote in the Midrashic and Kabbalistic Illuminations on M’orey HaAish the article titled, “The Sons of Aaron: Sinners or Saints”:
Rabbi Ari Kahn - “The Torah recounts God's instructions to Moses at Mount Sinai in preparation for the giving of the Torah:
Exodus 24:1, 9-11 – “To Moses [God] said, ‘Ascend to God, you, and Aaron, and Nadav and Avihu, and the seventy elders of Israel, and they shall prostrate themselves from afar ...’ Moses and Aaron, Nadav and Avihu, and the seventy elders arose. They saw the Lord of Israel and beneath His feet, like a brickwork of sapphire ... And to the aristocracy of the Children of Israel, He [God] did not strike His hand. They viewed the Lord, they ate and drank.”
This enigmatic passage may hold the key to understanding the offense of Nadav and Avihu. They are separated from the rest of the nation, leading them to think of themselves early on, at the time of the giving of the Torah, as future leaders. They are invited to join Moses, and they have a better vantage point than the rest of the nation. The purpose of the ascent is to bow from afar; instead, they stood and stared.”
Apparently as they were heading to the Wilderness Sanctuary, they had the young impulses to correct and rectify past mistakes that occurred with Adam and Eve, the Golden Calf near the mount called Sinai and now we read from the Talmud Bavli (Babylonian Talmud) that reported on a strange event:
Talmu Bavli, Sanhedrin 52a – “Moses and Aaron were walking along, as Nadav and Avihu were behind them, and all of Israel behind them. Nadav said to Avihu, ‘When these two elders die, you and I will lead this generation.’ God said to them ‘Let's see who buries whom.’”
Let us reconsider their actions on the 8th day of the dedication of the Tabernacle. On this day, the day which represents the metaphysical (the number 8 is one beyond the natural, which is represented by 7), their father is called upon to offer the calf and bring about forgiveness for the sin of the Golden Calf. The people will offer a goat and bring about forgiveness for the sale of Joseph. Perhaps the only major sin which still needed rectification was the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. If that can be accomplished, a new world awaits.
Adam drank and hid from God; Nadav and Avihu drank after staring at God. When, in the dedication of the Tabernacle, the fire came down and filled the area, the people hid their faces. Nadav and Avihu felt that this generation needed a new approach, one that should have been adopted in the Garden – instead of hiding from God, they confronted God. They offered the fire back to God, but God took them as well.
This, then, may unify all the opinions regarding their sin: they sought a new direction for this generation, as referred to in their speculations about leading the nation. They were infused with the sense of an historic mission which would set the world on a new course, and they therefore had no time or energy to spare for wives or child.”
The death of Nadab and Abihu was a significant loss to Moses, Aaron, Eleazar (Elazar) and now Ithamar (Itamar). Ithamar, the youngest would continue to serve as a priest alongside with Eleazar who would serve as High Priest after the death of Aaron (Numbers 20:28). All through the travels in the wilderness regions, Ithamar stood as the head of the children of Gershom and Merari, who were the chosen carriers of the Tabernacle (Numbers 4:28). Ithamar was also the overseer of all the work assignments of the Levites in general (Exodus 38:21).
Besides the lineages of the Eleazar and Phineas his son, who came to be the next ascending high priest, the lineages of Itamar were also an approved and chosen lineage by the G-d of Israel.

The historical story by the Samaritans of the first great schism between the Jews of the House of Judah and the Israelites of the House of Israel comes from a secondary source outside of the canon of the Old Testament, called the TaNaKh. Yet, we have to admit that here is a critical historical record of those fateful years that surrounded the story of the rise of the prophetic ministry of the Prophet Samuel. This young Levite was dedicated to HaShem at the time of his weaning from the breast, by a barren Israelite, Hannah, the wife of Elkanah, a Levite living in the village of Ramathaim-zophim, nearby to Mount Ephraim in the land of Samaria. (1 Samuel 1:1-3). Samuel’s and his father’s lineages were recorded in I Chronicles 6:18-23.
What began as a breech in the House of Aaron during the days of Eli the Judge, we ponder over how HaShem in His mercy delays judgment in order to accomplish His Divine Will. Eli was a descendant of Ithamar, the fourth and youngest son of Aaron the High Priest. He became High Priest (Kohen Godol) after the death of Phineas (Pinehas), the son of Eleazar, Ithamar's older brother.
During this era, we read of how a Levite of the house of Ithamar, later known as Eli the Judge, offered an imperfect offering not approved by the Divine, when he failed to provide the right amount of salt in the meat offering; according to the testimony of the Samaritans. Yet we strangely note, G-d did not smite Eli the Levite priest down because Eli still had a mission to accomplish for the G-d of Israel. Eli was reprimanded by Uzzi ben Bukki, the 6th High Priest since the High Priest, Aaron. Unlike the earlier fate of Nadab and Abihu, Eli lived and was not taken away by G-d.
Mount Gerizim was a noble mountain, a place where the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob made His presence several times. The Almighty One at Mount Gerizim promised this land to Abraham. Later Jacob dug a well upon this mount. And here also the Twelve Tribes of Israel recited the ‘Blessings and the Curses’.
So Eli, now again in defiance of the High Priest of Israel, Uzzi ben Bukki, who was residing in Samaria near Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, gathered a band of partisans loyal to him, and packed up the Wilderness Tabernacle and made haste to Shiloh. There the Mishkhan was erected and the sanctuary service continued. What is first noticed was the fact that the sanctuary was located first in the tribal homelands of Joseph’s two sons; Ephraim and Manasseh.
The tribes were still living within the boundaries of their tribal homelands and the central region of worship was where the Mishkhan or the Wilderness Tabernacle was located. Now as we have learned in the Great Schism between the Samaritans and the Jews, the reigning High Priest was still officiating at Joshua’s Altar at Mount Gerizim where the Wilderness Tabernacle was first erected and the Shekinah glory still shined from the Holy of Holiest in the ancient Mishkhan.
It so happened that G-d then began to maneuver the geopolitical relationships between the Children of Israel in Canaan who were then governed by the reigning “Judge” of the Land of Israel. The ruling judge at that time was Sampson, the “strong man” of Israel who himself got caught up in an illicit relationship with the temptress, Delilah who lived near Nahal Sorek (Brook of Sorek) known in Arabic today as the Wadi Surar that was along the border region of the Valley of Sorek between the land of the Philistines and the Tribe of Dan.
After the death of Sampson the Judge of Israel, Eli became the reigning Judge of the Children of Israel. Not only that, Eli was the first and the only judge who wore the two miters (crowns); first as the Judge (Shofet) and then as the High Priest (HaGadol) at the age of 58 years. This double crown came only after the death of the Israelite “Strong man”; Judge Samson, called Shimson that was killed, after 20 years as a judge in the destruction ruins of the Temple of Dagon in Gaza. This occurred when the massive temple imploded when in his blinded state, his mighty arms dislodged the two central pillars supporting the Temple of Dagon.
Sampson wrapped his arms around the two supporting pillars in the Temple of Dagon in the Jewish year of 2830. Here he wiped out 3,000 of the leading rulers, aristocrats and oligarchs of Gaza who were blinded in their hatred with the Children of Israel. So, Eli then assumed the role as Judge over Israel and held this august office for the forty years until his tragic death at the ripe old age of 98 years.
Yet in spite of the act of the preservation of the Wilderness Tabernacle first located on Mount Gerizim and later relocated by Eli, the 7th High Priest in Shiloh, the Aaronic lineage of the HaGadol (High Priest), now through a descendant of Ithamar ben Aaron, eventually reverted back in the days of Kings David and Solomon from both the lineages of the House of Phineas and Ithamar to the divinely chosen Zadokian lineage from Zadok ben Ahutum (Ahitub ben Amariah), the 12th High Priest since Aaron.
Eli (7th High Priest), descendant from Ithamar ben Aaron >
Ahitub (Achituv) ben Phinehas ben Eli (8th High Priest, was the grandson of Eli >
Ahijah ben Ahitub (9th High Priest), was the great-grandson of Eli, who presided as the high priest when the Tabernacle was erected at Shiloh (1 Samuel 14:3) >
Ahimelech ben Ahitub (10th High Priest) the brother of Ahijah, also the grandson of Eli was slain by King Saul with 85 other priests (1 Samuel 22:11-18) >
Abiathar ben Ahimelech (11th High Priest), was the last High Priest of the House of Eli, and the House of Ithamar. It was Abiathar (Evyathar who brought the Ephod and the regalia of the High Priest to King David, and co-reigned with the High Priest Zadok during the reign of King David. >
Zadok ben Ahitub ben Amariah (12th High Priest, 6th in descent from Uzzi) became the High Priest of Israel when Abiathar (Abiathar ben Ahimelech (11th High Priest), the last High Priest of the House of Eli supported Prince Adonijah in his rebellion against King David over the selection of Prince Solomon and was later deposed by King Solomon. >
We are not told why Eli succeeded to the High Priesthood, instead of the descendants of Phineas (Pinehas) the son of Aaron the High Priest. The last descendant of Ithamar's lineage as the High Priest was Evyathar (Abiathar ben Ahimelech 11th High Priest, who was a grandson of Eli's grandson Achituv (Ahitub).
Evyathar (Abiathar ben Ahimelech) was High Priest during the reign of King David. However, he was banished by King Solomon (Shlomoh) for his siding with the rebellion of King David’s son, Adoniyah, King Solomon's older half-brother who tried to capture the succession to the throne. The High Priesthood then reverted again back to the lineage of Eleazar ben Aaron, in the person of Tzadok (Zadok) the High Priest and his descendants.
We have now learned that the schism that erupted before the United Monarchy continued to simmer for the next eighty years (forty years for each, Kings David and Solomon) until the day when King Solomon died. At that time the Northern Ten Tribes chose to separate themselves from Jerusalem, the Holy Temple of Solomon, the holy Levitical priesthood and the Jewish rabbanim, the Mechoquek, who were the legal jurists that were the guardians of the Written and the Oral Torah Law.
Yet great finger of the Divine at this time was creating the pathway for the preservation not only of the Davidic Dynasty that would last until the “End of Times” when the “Era of the Messiah” would begin, but also the preservation of the Tzadokian (Zadokian) Lineage of the High Priests from the lineages of Phineas and Ithamar, the latter through the lineage of Eli, the High Priest. This lineage would last until King Herod’s Temple was leveled to the ground by the Romans, the Holy city of Jerusalem was destroyed and taken from the hands of the Jews until it was redeemed back to the House of Judah.
It was during this era that Eli, known to his people as a kindly man in nature was one that was beloved as they yearned for his spiritual guidance. It was during this era that Hannah, the wife of a prominent Levite called Elkanah came yearly to pray for HaShem to take away her barrenness and give to her a son. She not only prayed but also promised to the G-d of Israel that she would dedicate her son to the service of the L-rd for his entire life.
When Eli heard the prayer, he prayed for her that her heart’s greatest wish would be granted. Within one year, her prayers were fulfilled when she gave birth to Shmuel whom we know today as Samuel the Prophet and the eventual successor of Eli as the judge of all the Children of Israel.
Samuel was the joy of Hannah’s life. She kept him close to her for several years until he was weaned and as good Israelite mothers, taught him the ways of the L-rd. She took him to Eli, and there under his custody and guidance he grew spiritually as a student worthy of being a Cohen.
Samuel became the shining star in Eli’s life, and a great contrast arose between Samuel, whom Eli was very proud of and the two sons of the High Priest Eli, who were destined to follow in the pathway and esteemed role as their father, as the High Priest and Judge of Israel. But his two sons, Hophni and Phineas (Pinehas) were not spiritually worthy to be priests or judges of Israel.
They were honored to hold august and privileged role in the Tabernacle of the L-rd, yet in the eyes of the Children of Israel, they understood the priesthood was being degraded by two who were corrupt and lived immoral lives. With treachery and with bribery they took the meat and the fat offerings from the people that which belonged to the G-d of Israel and used them for their licentious ways. Soon the oracles of G-d would be begin to mount against the family of Eli the high priest.
During these days, the young priest, Samuel was being tutored under his mentor, Eli the Judge and High Priest. Out of this tzaddik and student relationship, the esteem of the young Levite Samuel began scatter throughout all of the tribe lands of Israel.
It was later that the Prophet Samuel began to reveal the sins of Hophni and Phinehas when he wrote:
I Samuel 2:2:12 – “Eli’s sons were lawless men; they did not recognize HaShem.”
Their wicked ways not only defiled the Holy Place in the Tabernacle of the L-rd, but like their father, Eli, they did not take care to follow explicitly every commandment of G-d in reference to the sacrificial worship in the House of G-d. When Hophni and Phineas (Phinehas) were attending the sacrifice of an animal, they would take their three-pronged fork and they ate any portion of the meat that they would bring out of the pot even when they were commanded to by G-d to eat only the breast and upper thigh of the animals (Leviticus 7:30-34).
They also ate raw meat that had not been cooked against the command of HaShem not to eat any meat with blood on it.
Leviticus 17:10: “Any man of the House of Israel and of the proselyte who dwells among them who will consume any blood – I will concentrate My attention upon the soul consuming the blood, and I will cut it off from its people. For the soul of the flesh is in the blood and I have assigned it for you upon the Altar to provide atonement for your soul for it is the blood that atones for the soul.”
The Levite sons of Eli also intimidated the Israelites and they were abusive to their roles as agents of the Most High G-d for anyone bringing an offering to HaShem, they would say;
1 Samuel 2:15-17 - “Give some meat for roasting for the Kohen; he will not take cooked meat from you, but only raw [meat]. The man would say, “Let them first burn the fat [upon the altar] and then take for yourself whatever your soul desires. But [the attendant] would say, “No give it now, or else I will take it by force.”
The sin of the attendants was very great before HaShem, for the sons of Eli had disgraced HaShem’s offering. Not only that, the sons of Eli were sleeping with the woman according to the figurative meaning in the Midrash in that they deliberately delayed bringing the women’s bird-offering in order that these women were unable to return home the same day to their husbands and had to stay overnight in Shiloh. This became a breach of modesty and a severe breech of Torah Law forbidding adultery. (Exodus 20:14) Other interpretations suggested that Eli’s sons were sleeping with the women who were dedicated to the service of the tabernacle and was also offering to them the meat offerings dedicated for the priests (I Samuel 2:22).
Suddenly a “man of G-d” came to Eli with an oracle from G-d that for his permissiveness for failing to censure his priestly sons for their desecration of G-d’s Torah; the judgment of G-d would come down upon the entire House of Eli:
I Samuel 2:30- 34 - “This is the word of HaShem, G-d of Israel, ‘I had indeed said that your family and your fathers’ family would walk before Me forever – but now,’ …be it from Me [to do so]; for I honor those who honor Me, and to those that scorn Me will be accursed.
Behold the days are coming are coming when I shall cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s family, from here being any old person in your family… And you will see a rival [Kohen in My] dwelling place throughout all the good [times] that He will bring upon Israel, for there will be no old people in your family for all time…’ This [will be] the sign for you, that which will befall your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas - they will both die on the same day.”
This same prophecy would soon be repeated but now through the mouth of a child for one evening, when Samuel laid down to rest at the Sanctuary, he was awakened with a voice calling his name; “Samuel, Samuel.” He awakened and went to see El, who told him that he had not called. This occurred three times, and then Eli suddenly realized that here was the Divine summons. He told the young lad, that if the voice came again, for him to reply, “Speak L-rd for Thy servant hears.”
When the voice came again, Samuel was receptive and the Almighty One spoke directly to him.
I Samuel 3:11-14 - “Behold, I am going to do [such] a thing in Israel that when anyone hears about it, both of his wears will ring. On that day, I will fulfill for Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, beginning to destroy.”
I have told him that I am executing judgment against his house forever for the sin that [he committed] that he was aware that his sons were blaspheming themselves’ and he did not censure them. Therefore I have sworn concerning the house of Eli that the sin of the House of Eli would never be atoned (purged) for by sacrifice or meal-offering.”
Eli’s only response was: “He will do what is good in His eyes!”
At that time, the reputation of Samuel rose throughout the Land of Israel. He would ennoble himself as one whose grew up full of faith, emuna, in the sovereign will of G-d, and in his life, now knew that in the days when the spirit was almost in exile, that Samuel would rise up like champion and carry the mantle of G-d judgment upon his people.
The first decades of Eli’s judgeship, the Children of Israel lived in peace and trouble in the western portion of Canaan was dormant. Yet, in the 4th decade, there was restlessness, especially after the Sampson the Judge of Israel was killed when after he was blinded, was taken to the House of Dagon in Gaza and there sacrificed his life for his people, by toppling the two central pillars of the temple and thousands of Philistine nobles and peoples were destroyed.
The war drums were beginning to rumble and troublous times were again on the western Mediterranean coastline of Canaan with the Philistines. Battle formations were prepared near Aphek and the two enemies were in battle for their lives. The Israelites were driven back and four hundred Israelite warriors lay dead on the battlefield.
The military chiefs and the politicians of the land of Israel, remembered how the Ark of the Covenant was used to win battles for the Children of Israel in the days of Joshua, the Commander of the Israelites hosts. So in league with each other, they went to demand that the Ark of the Covenant be taken out of his sacred premises, the Holiest of Holy, and brought to the battlefield against the Philistines.
The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas personally accompanied the Ark and as they approached the battlefield, the shofars rang out and a great cry rang out throughout the land as the earth trembled as though the presence of G-d was joining this great battle.
Yet, it was not the will of G-d to desecrate the Ark of the Covenant and use it as a talisman for military war. In spite of their great courage, the Philistines prevailed and once again, now thirty thousand Israelites were routed and dead while the rest fled in a milieu of great confusion.
Along with the Israelites warriors were the bodies of Hophni and Phineas among the dead and the Ark of the Covenant was for the first time, now under the control of the military leaders of their arch enemies. The calamity of the fall of the House of Eli was unfolding.
Back at Shiloh and the now the empty Tabernacle devoid of the presence of G-d stood as a forlorn testimony of G-d’s judgment upon His people. The citizens of Shiloh along with Eli were breathlessly awaiting news of the battle, a suddenly there loomed over the horizon, the figure of a swift runner, a Benjaminite with his clothes rent from his body and his hair matted with dirt and blood, from grief and remorse, entered the gates of the city.
According to the sages of Judah, this Benjaminite was non-other than the future king of Israel, King Saul the Benjamanite. The tiding were horrendous and its implications were more devastating. The sad imagery of war and devastation spilling from his mouth were prefaced with these words, “Our people fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons, Hophni and Pinehas, are dead, and the Ark of G-d is taken.”
When the High Priest Eli heard these words, the devastation tore through his aging body of 998 years and he fell backwards from his chair he was sitting, broke his cervical spine and immediately died. The wrath of the Divine this time proclaimed His own. When the G-d of Israel spoke, He meant what He said. Those implications are still in effect today.
The Mishkhan (Wilderness Tabernacle) now became the center of the religious life of the Children of Israel. Here was the residence of Eli, the Israelite Judge and now High Priest who was the 4th in lineage of the unbroken chain of the Oral Law (Massorah) that began with humble servant of G-d, Moshe Rabbeinu and had continued through Joshua (Jesus) and Phineas (Pinehas).
Soon, the G-d of Israel would show his hand of approval upon Kings David and Solomon and with the blessing of the Divine, the House of the L-rd was constructed on Mount Moriah as the Temple of Solomon. As long as the miraculous and daily fire from the heavens lit up the Altar to the L-rd, the approval of G-d was assured. Even so, the “Brazen-faced and Hard-hearted Israelites” continued their defiance of the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, even to this very day.
************
The G-d of Israel proclaimed that there are only two groups of people whom He has promised that He will restored back into covenant with Him, the Jews of the House of Israel and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Both families, the Jews and the Israelites were scattered across the face of the earth and would become HaShem emissaries incognito sent to elevate the 70 nations of the world, so that even Righteous Gentiles could become part of the covenant.
Even the children of Ishmael still rooted in Islam, the children of the Lost Ten Tribes who today are now Buddhist, or the Lost Ten Tribes who today call themselves Christians will be assimilated into the Jewish culture. This will be because deep in their hearts they are known by the Divine to be “safe to save” and willing to live in peace with their brothers; all descendants of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Only the G-d of Israel knows who they are.
We are quickly being polarizing a world in which there will be only two choices; we are either for the Hebrew Israelites; both now part of the Jews of the house of Judah and the Lost Israelites of the House of Israel or we will be against them. This comes to one sobering conclusion, if you are a descendant of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, whether Muslim, Buddhist or Christian, and you still despise your brothers, the Jews, you may be left outside, not redeemed to participate in the coming “Era of the Messiah” even though you think you want to be a part of them.
If you have wondered how biblical prophecy fits into your life, and how it will affect the Return of the House of Israel, then the G-d of Israel is beginning his “call” to bring you home, too. You might desire to reconnect with the Biblical portrayals on what is and may be happening in your near future. This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

The Parashat of Shemot opens the Book of Exodus and with it illuminates our modern lives as Lost Israelites, Diasporic Jews, and also Restored Jews who have already succeeded in aliyah to the Land of Israel. Here we witness the theme of how one passes over the vast gulf between the “Worldliness” of our lives and the “Holiness” of our lives in the world to come.
And so we open the first chapter of the Story of the Exodus and find with great clarity how the lives of the Children of Israel stuck in bondage and slavery are so reminiscent of our lives today, wherever we are on the globe of Planet Earth. When we talk about the redemption of Klal Yisrael (All 12-Tribed Israel) that is exactly what all the prophets of Israel were talking about also; the entire House of the Children of Israel.
When we come to the Book of Exodus we read:
Exodus 1:1, 7 – “And these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family…The Children of Israel were fertile and prolific. They increased and grew very, very mighty, and the land was filled with them.”
According to Rashi, the fertility of the Israelites alluded to the facts on the ground that each Israelite woman was giving birth to sextuplets. Since each one of the sextuplets were given birth by one source; father and mother, so also whenever harm came to even one of the six sextuplets, it created harm to each one of them.
The allusion to above was that all, Israelite and Jews sextuplets were descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Out of the loins of Jacob, came a very potent genetic pool of 12 sons from four wives. This potent genetic pool came with the divine resources to rule the world.
This was the cardinal fact that created fear in the heart of the Pharaoh of that age. It was he who created the first “Final Solution” not just to the Jews but to all the Children of Israel living in Goshen in the Nile Delta of Northern Egypt.
According to Rebbe Nachman in Rebbe Nachman’s Torah:
Rebbe Nachman – “The [permutations of the] final letter of the first five words of this verse, ve’eileH shemoT bnei YisraeL haba’iM (These are the names of the sons of Israel who came) spell TeHiLiM or the Book of Psalms. The final words of the next five words of this verse, MetzrayimaH eT Ya’akoV iSh u-veitO [to Egypt with Jacob, each man and his household), spell TeShUVaH; repentance.”
What is even more amazing, the names of each of Jacob’s twelve sons were composed of forty-nine letters. These according to Nachman represent each of the Forty-nine Gates of Repentance. When any person recites the Psalms, his prayerful words are taken to the very specific Gate of Repentance by the divine messengers of the angelic hosts. (Likutey Moharan II, 73)
Out of the fear of the exponential growth of not just the Jews but of all 12-Israel, there rose a Pharaoh, “A new King who did not know Joseph.” The forces of the “Other Side” were beginning to gather around the home base of Jacob’s descendants in subtle ways to ensnare and entrap them into the materialistic culture of Egypt. Therein grew what was called the MetZaRim (narrow straits, or the constriction or suppression of their lives seeking to enslave and repress the Israelite lives, families and culture.
Yet the Israelites continued to survive, not because the valor of the men, but from the women midwives, under the direction of the Shiphrah and Puah (Yokheved and Miriam), the mother and sister of Moses. They each in harmony with each other became the saviors of the male babes, and especially the infant Moshe, who would someday be HaShem’s spokesman on Planet Earth.
As reported in the Likutey Halakhot III, P. 264-133a)
Likutey Halakhot III – “In an attempt to kill Moses, the future savior of the nation, the Egyptians threw all the Jewish (Israelite) male children into the river. But Moses, the true tsaddik, had the capability to counter the evil of the Egyptians. Only he could enter into the river the “channels of evil” of Egypt and return from there to defeat them. Even though, he was raised in the house of Pharaoh, Moses the tsaddik defeated him.”
Is it of coincidence that this young Israelite, a descendant of Levi, would eventually be called Moshe Rabbeinu, “Moses our Teacher”, whose name held the numerical value of 613, the number of the 613 commandments later given to the Children of Israel in the Torah at the mount called Sinai?”
It was the daughter of the Pharaoh who discovered Moses in the basket floating amongst the reeds in the river that gave Moses his name, meaning, “The one who was drawn from the water.” It was this young lad, who was threatened with extermination yet became the “Savior” of his people, Klal Yisrael, “All Israel”. This included all 13 Tribes that included the double portion to Joseph: the two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
But another problem existed in the lands of the Israelites in Egypt.
Exodus 2:1 – “In those days, when Moses was grown, he went out to his brothers, and saw their suffering. He saw an Egyptian man beating a Hebrew man, one of his brethren.”
Why did the Jews and the Israelites people have to suffer? What did they do, as today, to deserve the anti-Semitic strife swelling across the land and around the world? It was Moshe who comprehended that the “bitterness of the exile” was because of the Israelites lack of repentance; teshuvah.
It was at this time that Moses took the law of justice in his own hands. As the Torah testifying to this act, stated:
Exodus 2:12 – “Her looked here and there, and when he saw no one was watching, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.”
Moses, now as a tzaddik, was able to remove the life force called the “holy sparks of life” from the Egyptian and then it resulted in the Egyptian’s “physical death”, his “loss of influence”, or his “spiritual death.” (Likutey Moharan II, 91)
Here we can begin to perceive the beginning of the spiritual battles between Nachash, HaSatan, the leader of the forces of darkness called the “Egyptian” and the “Messiah” that HaShem had given to the Children of Israel to lead them to their redemption in the Land of Israel.
When Moses looked “here and there” (Hebrew; Koh and Koh) the words represented the numerical value of 50 like the 50 letters of the Shema Yisrael and Barukh Shem (Zohar II, 12b), the biblical text states that “He saw no one” for Moses was nullifying his own being. He was abrogating his own identity and in his humility literally jumped into the fiery sufferings of his people. As the Vayikra Rabbah stated:
Vayikra Rabbah – “Since Moses looked for a way to alleviate his people’s suffering, he merited the mitzvah of oaths. (Numbers 30; Vayikra Rabbah 37:2)
It was soon to become evident that this young Hebrew clothed as the Prince Heir of Egypt was beginning to understand the bitterness of suffering that the early Hebrews were experiencing in the hands of a “Pharaoh who did not want to remember the largess and esteem of Joseph.”
Their lives then are a reflection of our lives today as the Pharaoh of Egypt in those days is reflected in the lives of the living Pharaoh’s of the world today who are battling for dominion of the entire world, The One World Order, represented by Mizraim. The modern Mitzráyim was knownthe land of Egypt the land of Ham, who defiled his father, and created a materialistic culture of suppression giving the Children of Israel a harsh world of terrorism, oppression in life, a food culture of sickness and death, and taskmasters who glean all the profits of life for themselves.
This exile is being played out today before our eyes for the Pharaohs of the world, many of whom are Lost Israelites that are setting the stage for the final dramatic act of redemption of the Jews and the Lost Israelites. At the same time, many of them are also seeking to exterminate the Jewish people from the face of the earth.
At this time, the exiles of both the Jews and the Lost Israelites today are still linked together in a long and bitter struggle of jealousy and rivalries that existed from the days of the Judge called Eli and the noble kings of the United Kingdom of Israel; Kings David and Solomon. And so today, neither the House of Israel nor the House of Judah are fully redeemed or fully in exile. Why so!
This exile will remain until the familial conflict between the Jews of the House of Judah and the Lost Ten Israelites of the House of Joseph (Israel) is nullified or exterminated from the relationship of these two brotherhoods and changed to one of acceptance of each’s destiny as part of the redemption of Klal Yisrael (All Israel) and the institution of a Greater Israel ruled by the chosen Maschiach by the One G-d of Israel.
Neither one of these brotherhoods of the House of Jacob (Israel) will be redeemed and restored to the “World to Come” when they continue seek to negate and suppress each other and using Lashan Ha’Ra, the slanderous tongue, against other peoples around the world. When the lost brotherhood of the ancient Hebrews, the Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes, choose to resolve their own differences between each other and their G-d, the One G-d of Israel, then the days of reclamation, redemption and restoration will begin.
At that time, the Gates of Heaven will open and the Era of the Messiahas prophesied by the Jewish Sage, Rabbi Judah ben Samuel will arrive to recover, redeem and restore each of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel and the House of Judah. The two exiles will be revoked and the unprecedented era of Peace will fill the whole earth as a spiritual state of elevated consciousness will settle over Planet Earth.
In the meantime, the facts on the ground, are being highlighted by the Parashat of the week, as we see the harshness of Mizraim played out in the central regions where the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel claim their residencies today. First we saw the rise of ISIS, seeking a Sunni Caliphate of the Middle East using the Islamic control of Sharia law to eventually control the whole world.
Then was saw the fierce anti-Semitism of the Lost Israelites in Sweden and Norway who seek to delegitimize the Divine directed rise of the State of Israel seeking to replace the future Promised Land in Shomron called the West Bank with a Palestinian State. To do this they seek to use the international organs of the United Nations and the Brussel’s International court of Justice to force Jundenrein (“free of any Jew”) living in the West Bank.
This has been done seeking to abrogate G-d’s gift to the Lost Ten Tribes for a homeland of peace and tranquility, negating the deed and title of the land of Shomron and Judea that has already been given by the G-d of Israel to the House of Joseph (Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel) and the Jews for a future influx of population growth in massive proportions in the World to Come.
The “Time of the End” appears to be unfolding right in front of our eyes. If we take the “blinders” off our eyes, we see this deadly struggle played out in Paris, France and Hamburg, Germany, when the French satirical paper, Charlie Hebdo became the Islamic target of arson by two brothers, Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi. As DEBKAfiles reported on January 11, 2015:
DEBKAfiles – “On April 15, 2013, the brothers Tamerlan Tsarnayev, 26, and Dzokhar Tsarnaev, 19, tried to blow up the Boston Marathon.
On May 22, in the same year, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowalo performed an Islamist rite on the streets of London by decapitating the British serviceman Lee Rigby.
A year earlier, on March 2012, Mohammed Merah was responsible for two attacks: He murdered two French commandos in Montauban for France’s participation in the Afghan war, then slew the teacher and pupils of a Jewish school in Toulouse.
On May 24, 2014, Mehdi Nemmouche, 29, from the North of France, was able to attack the Jewish Museum in Brussels and kill the Israeli couple, Miriam and Emanuel Riva, as well as a French woman and Belgian citizen. This was despite the fact that French intelligence had been keeping an eye on Nemmouche because of his association with groups of Islamists who fought in the Syrian war in 2013.
Friday, January 9, the Kouachi brothers were found on the US no-fly list of Americans and foreigners who are barred from flying to the States because of specific security concerns. They were therefore familiar names to counterterrorist agencies when, two days earlier, they murdered 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris, including the editor and top French cartoonists and two police officers. Both had known records.
Cherif had spent time in a French prison in the early 20s for terrorist activities in connection with the recruitment of fighters in the Iraq War, while Said spent time in Yemen four years ago training with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Their bloody outrage in the heart of Paris did not fit the “lone wolf” or “lunatic” epithet attached to recent terror attacks in France, along with the argument that such actions are impossible to predict or thwart.
This argument was heard after a string of attacks on a synagogue, a Jewish-owned printing plant and the mowing down of Christmas shoppers by a vehicle.
There was no question that this was a targeted multiple assassination that called for detailed planning and reconnaissance, as well as knowledge of the location of the editorial board room and the timetable of board meetings attended by the targeted journalists. In terms of logistics, the perpetrators would have had to get hold of Kalachnikov assault rifles, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, gloves, balaclavas and masks, as well as a vehicle for arrival and get-away from the scene of the slaughter.
All these arrangements point to a complex, well-oiled support network, with experience in combat, terror, logistics, intelligence and communication operations. Nonetheless, neither the French DGSE (external security) nor the DGSI (internal security) got wind of the murderous conspiracy afoot against the satirical magazine, which was famous for its irreverent cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad as well as holy figures of other religions.”
The same day, hour hostages were abducted by an Islamist gunman at a Jewish Parisian kosher grocery store. To say that Jews were not targeted on the eve of the Jewish Shabbat, is ignorance. After a massive rescue operation, the French police killed the gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, who had earlier shot and killed a French policeman. What now appeared to be sole attacks by separate Islamic cells now appeared to be coordinated with each other?
The rest of the string of hostages were set free, but the swift acting scenarios continued to pummel the international news. During the attack on the Jewish Kosher proprietary store, the gunman, Amedy Coulibaly and his 26 year old wife, Hayat Boumedienne had threatened to kill all their hostages in Paris if the Kouachi brothers were not set free. Were they accomplices?
What is now being unfolded, Amedy Coulibaly’s wife, Hayat Boumedienne did not flee with the “stream of hostages” in the Jewish kosher grocery store. She disappeared a week earlier and reached Syria by traveling through Spain and Istanbul.
Yet, simultaneously as the Coulibaly team were attacking the Jewish Kosher food store, a police siege force had surrounded a factory near Dammartin-en-Goelle about 40 Km northeast of Paris. As they threatened to do, Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi died in a fiery conflagration and their threat to “die as martyrs” was fulfilled as reported again by DEBKAfiles, in which “They said they are ready to die as martyrs rather than surrendering, so that they can go down in a cloud of Islamist glory.”
What began on January 9, by the Kouachi brothers and cascaded further away by another attack at a Parisian Jewish kosher grocery store on the same day, was again repeated on January 11, when the daily Hamburger Morgenpost re-printed three of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons with the headline reading, “This much freedom must be possible” as they sought to legitimize the use of satire seeking to humiliate or to destroy the reputation of other peoples. “Freedom” for some creates rage in others. To the G-d of Israel, there is no such thing as freedom to assassinate another person’s reputation.
So today, on Sunday, January 11, 2015, President Francois Hollande along with the Prime Minister of Israel, Benyamin Netanyahu and 55 leaders from all over the world will have arrived in Paris to join up with hundreds of thousands of Parisians will represent the free world’s protest against Islamic terror. As DEBKAfiles continued to report:
DEBKAfiles – “Western security sources have been playing up the three terrorists’ connection to the Yemeni headquarters of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). That is because, if ISIS was able to pull the strings for multiple terror in the heart of Europe, the air campaign that the US-led coalition of 20 countries including France is conducting in Iraq and Syria would look pretty tame. And its leader Abu Baqr al-Baghdad would be laughing.
But was it really ISIS or AQAP which set up the three attacks which claimed 17 lives in three days? That is the big question.
Said and Cherif Kouachi told French television shortly before they were shot dead that they belonged to Yemen Al Qaeda, whereas Coulibaly claimed he was acting for ISIS. This apparent contradiction raises the scary suggestion that the two murderous Islamic groups may have collaborated for the first time to hit France. That scenario assumes an even more ominous dimension in the light of the chatter picked up Sunday by US intelligence indicating that all Al Qaeda’s branches are preparing to follow up the Paris operations with a major campaign of terror in Europe.
Boumediene’s arrival in Syria ahead of the Paris attacks appears to part of a comprehensive plan for setting up a command and control center for this campaign or, possibly to prepare safe asylum for the gunmen who manage to get away. If that is so, then the center of this campaign would be situated on ISIS - not AQAP – turf.
The sight of many thousands of gendarmes and security officers rushing around in combat gear to chase the female terrorist may have helped reassure a frightened population, who were not to know the guardians of security were on a fool’s errand.
But the truth was that France’s external security service (DGSE), anti-terror police branches and border authorities, who were supposed to operate in concert, fell down on the job and revealed their weakness to the enemy.
Homegrown and foreign jihadis were shown to have established safe exit routes for reaching the Islamic battlegrounds of the Middle East and returning home - well trained, heavily armed and filled with hatred for the societies which bred them.
Underground jihadist networks spent months undiscovered by the internal security service (DGSI) in the setting up of complicated multi-site operations, like the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and the Jewish supermarket. And the Groupe d’Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN) took too long to run them to earth and eliminate them.
After murdering the top journalists and cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo, the two Kouachi brothers emerged from the building packing two submachine guns, but none of the dozens of armed police outside was able to cut them down.
And finally, thousands of French police and soldiers from various units put to siege the print works outside Dammartin-en-Goele, where Said and Cherif Kouachi were holed up for hours, with nearly 100,000 security officers mobilized across France. Still, they hesitated to break in. All this provides fodder for the trainers to inspire the next generation of jihadi terrorists for action that is guaranteed to win them prime time on all the world’s television screens."
The spiritual war battles that were being played out in the days of Moses and the “Exodus” are raging today. It is occurring between the Lost 10 Tribes in Europe, American and the colonial lands of the European state, who are filled with anti-Semitic vile against the State of Israel, the nominal Jews of the Diaspora who want to forget that they are Jews and don’t want to be identified with the Orthodox Jews especially in the Land of Israel in the Shomron and the mountains of Judea.
And when Moses returned are tried to break up a feud between two Jews (Israelites), Datan and Aviram, his eyes were opened to the “spiritual dimensions” that are driving international relationship that is jettisoning between the nations that hate the Jews and the nations that love and respect the Jewish people.
Moses saw that conflict and strife brings upon us our sufferings and our exiles, where “strife points to a perverted sense of justice, and blemished justice causes exile. True justice, in contrast, leads to peace (Likutey Moharan VII. P.24).
So on the earthly level, the “Datans and the Avirams” are still there to create “strife” so that “justice can be perverted”. The next day, Datan and Aviram were there creating conflict with each other, and the Egyptian Israelite prince went forward to mediate. Moses understood that suffering and exile were the results of the lack of repentance.
The people who are responsible for the lack of repentance are those who slander other people’s names and reputation. This is called “Lashon Ha-Ra” where gossip and slander are used to destroy another person’s integrity and honor. In effect, the “Datans and the Avirams” were the same people who turned to the Prince called Moses and said to him:
Exodus 2:14 – “Who made you a ruler and judge over us? He said, ‘Are you planning to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?’ Moses was frightened.”
The strife we see rising in the world around us is still a microcosm of the wars raging in the heavens. The powers of darkness and the powers of light are waging the last universal battle before the Maschiach reveals himself under the Sovereign ruler of the Universe; the One G-d of Israel.
To the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel; your days to reverse the tide of strife and injustice have now come. It is time to open up your arms to your true genetic brothers, the Jews and say, ‘thanks for paving the pathway for our redemption’. Please help us find our pathway home!
Today, as Moses was attaining an elevated state of consciousness called “godliness” the Jews and the Children of Israel living in the Egyptian land called “Mizraim” were descending rapidly into the 49th level of Tuma or Degradation/Impurity. The lower the level of descend required a messiah that was a great tzaddik to help them ascend to the lofty station of life in the “world to come.” Yet, the greatest gift we can give to each other as brothers and sisters in descent from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is our affirmation and love for each other.
By affirming out brotherhood for each other, we also are affirming the Almighty One of Israel that He is our one and only G-d. Let us leave our Egyptian arrogance behind and affirm the humility of Moshe Rabbeinu.
************
The G-d of Israel proclaimed that there are only two groups of people who will be restored back into covenant with Him, the Jews of the House of Israel and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Both families, the Jews and the Israelites were scattered across the face of the earth and would become HaShem emissaries incognito sent to elevate the 70 nations of the world, so that even Righteous Gentiles could become part of the covenant.
Even the children of Ishmael still rooted in Islam, the children of the Lost Ten Tribes who today are now Buddhist, or the Lost Ten Tribes who today call themselves Christians will be assimilated into the Jewish culture. This will be because deep in their hearts they are known by the Divine to be “safe to save” and willing to live in peace with their brothers; all descendants of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Only the G-d of Israel knows who they are.
We are quickly being polarizing a world in which there will be only two choices; we are either for the Hebrew Israelites; both now part of the Jews of the house of Judah and the Lost Israelites of the House of Israel or we will be against them. This comes to one sobering conclusion, if you are a descendant of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, whether Muslim, Buddhist or Christian, and you still despise your brothers, the Jews, you may be left outside, not redeemed to participate in the coming “Era of the Messiah” even though you think you want to be a part of them.
If you have wondered how biblical prophecy fits into your life, and how it will affect the Return of the House of Israel, then the G-d of Israel is beginning his “call” to bring you home, too. You might desire to reconnect with the Biblical portrayals on what is and may be happening in your near future. This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.
For inquiries about the Kol Ha Tor Vision for the Lost Tribes of Israel,
They also offer – “a Spiritual Retreat and Guest House in Samaria that hosts Shomron (Samaria) Tours to reacquaint the Returning Lost Tribers of the House of Israel to their chosen destiny. For details refer to Shomron Lives!”,

So today, in our era of modern science, do we have the technology to identity the Lost Israelites through DNA studies? The answer is yes.Over the decades the science of DNA technology have resurrected the matrix of a genetic genealogy. Now we can identity and compare the markers on the Y chromosome that is transferred genetically from father to son. What is known is that it remains stable for a long period of time. They share the same paternal ancestors even in the distant past eras to the modern era of today.
The DNA markers can also be compared to population groups that have already been identified and then grouped into a classification system called “Haplogroups.” With this information, the population geneticists can begin to plot out migration patterns of large groups of closely identified peoples in the ancient world. What we have learned is the R1b (Haplotype 15) is the most common haplogroup in Western Europe today.
This same R1b (Haplotype 15) DNA sequence is also identified with the Basques of Northern Spain that also includes the aboriginal first settlers in the British Isles. Here we find the ancient Welsh in the British Wales along the Atlantic Seaboards of England to the west. But they also include the Picts to the north in Scotland and the Irish to the west on the Isle of Ireland.
They even seek to identify these populations with Paleolithic populations in Europe. These included those who took refuse from the Ice Age living in the caves of the Pyrenees Mountains between southern France and Northern Spain, called the Atlantic Modal Haplotype.
A near relative of the R1b (Haplotype 15) is the R1b (Haplotype 35) who first came out of the Ice Age in the region of the Balkans under the Black Sea while others migrated across Asia Minor, into the steppes in the region of West Asia and the mountain and plain regions of southeastern Europe.
Today we see this same Haplotype in the DNA of the Eastern Europeans. These include the Armenians, the Greeks, Hungarians, the Romanians, and the Turks. These include also various groups of peoples in the region of the Caucasus Mountains just north of Georgia. Think again, these are all the regions of the habitation of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
According to the geneticists, this same haplogroup is also imbedded in the populations in Western Europe where it is purported to have been spread by the Eastern Germanic Gothic tribes of the Ostrogoths, the Visigoths, the Alans, the Vandals, plus the Suevi in Switzerland.
So when we begin to discover the ancient ancestors of the Lost Ten Tribes, we begin to uncover the unsettling but not surprising discovery that red hair is a clue of the identity of these ancient peoples. These were the tribes who continued to abominate the Holy Name of G-d as HaShem, the G-d of Israel spoke through the pen of the Prophet Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 36:16-22, 24-28, 33 (parts) - “The word of Adonai came to me: ‘Human being, when the house of Isra’el lived in their own land, they defiled it by the manner of life and their actions; their way before me was like the uncleanness of niddah (menstruation). Therefore I poured out my fury on them, because of the blood they had shed in the land and because they defiled it with their idols.
I scattered them among the nations and dispersed them throughout the countries. I judged them in keeping with their manner of life and actions. When they came to the nations they were going to, they profaned my holy name so that people said of them ‘These are Adonai’s people, who have been exiled from his land.’ But I am concerned about my holy name, which the House of Isra’el is profaning among the nations where they have gone.
Therefore, tell the house of (the Ten Lost Tribes 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 you to be regarded as holy.
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all countries, and return 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 you…
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, ‘the land that used to be desolate has become like Gan 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!”
What we will discover as we done in the past is that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel are alive and well. It is time to ponder these words given by the G-d of Israel. With careful scrutiny, we discover that they, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel are the ones who have provoked the wars of the nations, such as the 30 year war in 19th century Europe, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War plus the wars against Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and the War in Afghanistan.
They are the ones that are seeking hegemony and control of the world in order to create a One World Order, HaShem is giving them a bold warning; “Your days of creating chaos, anarchy, forcing your Hellenistic Pan-American-European culture upon the native populations of the world and foisting Grecian democracy upon them with the goal of getting their “vote” to the eventual One World Order is a about over.
As the evidence looms over us, we are impelled to recognized that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel still living in Europe who are the most vocal seeking to deny the rise of the prophetic future. This will be when a Greater Israel will bring Planet Earth and the whole universe into an era of unprecedented peace.
Here will reign an era and a culture to match of spiritual enlightenment, when the Era of the Mashiach arrives to bring all mankind into the “Glory of G-d”.
As HaShem (The Name) has proclaimed; “There is no one that is unredeemable in My eyes, the eyes of the Holy One of Israel.” Yet are those He will allow to descend to their own destruction, for our will to choose the pathway of the Divine, or to choose the pathway of a “culture of death” still places the final plea from the Divine One; “Choose you this day, whom you will serve.”
So it is time to reveal the identity of the Lost Ten Tribes and the fact that the G-d of Israel will redeem them in spite of their lives of self-absorption, degradation, and the loss of the fundamental rights of human beings created in the image of G-d to choose to live a life in the “World to Come” with respect, dignity and honor.
Do we have the emuna, faith in the Sovereignty of G-d that He has the ability to alter the course of history and convince even the inconvincible? Are we willing to accept that Almighty Creator of the Universe might have to give us some options we cannot refuse, and take away some of our arrogance and free will that was stolen from us by the “nachash”, the power of illusion first created in the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden), by the wily serpent at the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Etz HaDaat Tov vaRa) that led to Adam and Eve’s fall.
It also led to the thirty-nine curses; ten curses upon Adam (man), ten curses upon Eve (woman), ten curses upon the serpent called Nachash, and nine curses upon Planet Earth. Strange as it may seem, the number 39 resurfaced 25 generations later at the Mount called Sinai when the “10 Commands” were given to the Children of Israel, and the Nation of Pan-Israel was created when 69 of the 70 nations of the world first refused to be HaShem’s emissaries and spokesmen to Planet Earth, and so now with the Children of Israel, a special destiny would be placed upon them for the next 150 generations.
In the meantime, Adam and Eve were forbidden to go close and investigate the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. They were warned to stay away from this tree because the “nachash” could tempt them. And so, today we know of the serpent called Satan, who now has become the “accuser” and “prosecutor” against G-d’s chosen people. He has now became the heavenly embodiment of “justice” which is an aspect of divine providence that requires we as human beings have to use our own “free will” and the “power to choose” in order that we can earn and become worthy of the gifts that G-d desires to give each of us preparing us for out reclamation, redemption, and restoration into the Messianic culture called the “World to Come.”
Satan in the ancient cultures was called “Sam” which is a short of “SamEl”, or the angel of death. This created being is truly the personification of evil. The name comes from the Hebrew root word “sam” which means “potion” and “blindness” while El means “G-d”. To understand this archetypical angel called Sam we must comprehend that it means “poison of G-d” or the “blinding angel” who puts blinders over our eyes so we cannot see G-d.
So as we looking around the world today, we can perceive a world that is progressively sinking into chaos and complete destruction. What is most perceptible is the fact that the world that surrounds us today is the progressive culture of being self-centered, arrogant, self-possessed, with the evil intent of aborting the creation of a new cultural era where the love of G-d will give us a world culture of “Pax-Eden” where all mankind will live in peace in a universe of spiritually enhanced Torah enlightenment.
We are now at the end of the 5,000 year culture of man living on a degenerated and decaying earth. What we are seeing with our own eyes is the rise of fear and terrorism in order to create an era of spiritual slavery by Sam or Samekh-mem who with the forces of darkness seeking to create a culture of death.
To put this into a reality in which we can perceive, the rise of terrorism around the world and especially in the Middle East is really a world of “false flags” and spiritual illusions that are a product of the manipulation of the governing rulers of Europe and America who have taught and trained Middle-eastern terrorists to become the pawns of the hands of those seeking world dominion.
Who then are these peoples? They are the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who are determined to put shackles upon the Jewish people living in the biblical heartland of the patriarchs in Shomron and the mountains of Judea.
These rulers, under the dominion of “Samekh-men” today are plotting the destiny of the world from the Pentagon, the CIA or from the Oval Office. Yet, it is not just the United States, but the European Union who are confronting the communist powers of Russia and China that are culpable hands seeking the destruction of the State of Israel, in order to annihilate the last vestige of the Nation of Israel that was instituted and created by the hands of Almighty One of Israel at the mount called Sinai.
What is little known is that the hands behind the scene are the controlling interests of the Vatican in Rome, the P2 Masonic Lodge that resides in the shadows of St. Peter’s Cathedral. It is they who control every intelligence services around the world which include the nations of China, Russia, the Middle Eastern nations, and the United States and the European Union. They are also under the secret world power of the Jesuits, the protector of the Pope in Rome. It is they who are the emissaries for Sam and the forces of darkness.
Today we are beginning to understand that that the modern rulers of a rising global One World Order are fueled by the genes of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. The secret identity of the identity of these peoples have now been revealed in the genetic laboratories of Europe around the world. One of the most poignant clues to this fact is that the “Red Hair” genetic roots of the Y-Haplogroup of the R1b can now be perceived and identified as the “Lost Israelites” in Ancient Europe.
In the ancient script of the Torah, the first Man on earth, created in the Image of G-d was Adam. Adam, to etymologists, carries the meaning of red or ruddy man. What is known today; red hair is rare. Very Rare. It is virtually non-existent around the world except in Western Europe.
We know in history that King David was a red-head so the Davidian lineage of King David would also carry its genetic makeup. Today the red hair is most dense in the western regions along the Atlantic seaboard of Europe and heading to the east towards Poland. It then extends from Poland all the way down over the Pyrenees Mountain through Basque in Northern Spain into central Spain. We see it in the populations of southern Scandinavia, and Finland to the east heading over into the Volga region of Russia.
Looking carefully at the maps, the highest density of red hair that is imbedded in over 10% of the population live along the western regions of Europe. This includes the western Atlantic seaboards of Ireland, the Northwestern sector of Scotland on the Isle of Britannia and the western regions of Great Britain in Wales.
There is a greater density of over 10% of red hair clustering towards the western region of Denmark where the Tribe of Dan is located and in the southwestern region of Norway. This then extends down the coastline of the La Manche (English Channel) along the coastline of the Netherlands and Belgium and then further south to the peninsula of Brittany jutting out into the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. Yes, we have to admit that red hair is it one the rarest and most unique of all the colored hairs in the world. It now has become a marker for the identity of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
Rarely in the ancient writings did the authors speak of the color of hair, but red hair was the exception. According to Suetonius in “The Life of the Twelve Caesars”, the 8thEmperor of Rome, Vitellius was a redhead. His name should be familiar to all with the knowledge of Jewish history.
The Roman Emperor Vitellius was the last of the “Year of the Four Emperors”, when his claim to the Roman throne was challenged by the eastern Roman legions under the command of the Roman General Vespasian. These troops then proclaimed Vespasian the Roman Emperor while his troops were surrounding Jerusalem in siege.
In the civil war that erupted, the defending legions of Vitellius were decisively defeated at the Second Battle of Bedriacum in Northern Italy and Vitellius was executed in Rome by the legions of Vespasian on the 22nd of December, 69 CE. And so today, the Emperors Vespasian and his son, Hadrian are indelibly tied in the Jewish history with the fall and destruction of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple of G-d on the Temple Mount.
Is it not surprising that with the rise of the United States in America that three of the first seven American presidents were red headed Israelites; Thomas Jefferson, 3rd American president, James Monroe, the 5th American president and Andrew Jackson, the 7th American president for their ancestral lineages came from the Isle of Britannia, no doubt including Welsh lineages plus Irish and Scottish.
As we can now see, the density of red headed humans is closely associated with the Y-Haplogroup R1B in Europe. The Y (male) Haplogroup R1B is also identified with the entry of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel into Northern Gaul as the Celtic and Cymric people with the Tribes of Dan and Simeon along the earliest settlers.
Now let us take the first Eupedia map that outlines the distribution of red hair over the Eurasian landscape and compare it with the Eupedia map above of the distribution of the Haplogroup R1b. The linking identity between the two is amazing.
The most ancient of the ancestral regions of the R1b Haplogroup is now understood by the scientists as coming from the region of Iran, or the land of the peoples that were known as the “Arians”. This is not surprising in that it was to the land of Media near the Black and the Caspian Sea that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel were sent into exile and first settled. It was from this region that they began their wanderings, north, south, east and west but by far the most predominate part of the Lost Tribers migrated to the West.
The Divine Hand of G-d allowed them to build their own imperial states and world empires. These included; Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, Netherlands, France and even Germany. Their dominions were scattered around the entire world. They even included the Scandinavian Vikings (Scythians) who left their imprint of discovering the North American Continent even before Columbus.
It was the Israelite Scythian Vikings that paved a pathway of dominion all the way to Constantinople while the Danes under King William the Great took over the Isle of Brittany long after the Anglo-Saxons (Engle-Sacae or the “sons of Isaac”) had pushed the Tribes of Ephraim and Dan over to the Atlantic coastline of Wales.
The major region where the populous Lost Ten Tribes were sent into exile included the region of Khurasan, which includes Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan. The Pashtun Tribes of Bani-Israel are the remnant of these tribes who still live in this region.
The Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel were called the “Great Wanderers”. They then are identified in the routes of the ancient wanderings of this Rb1 Haplogroup as they migrated along with a more ancient subclade called the R1b L23. They settled as they migrated into Southern Russia and Ukraine along the northern banks of the Black Sea and according to the historical texts they rarely amalgamated with the local indigenous populations but stayed rather intact and pure to their lost Hebrew tribal identity.
They also left their imprint upon the landscape of the world as they traversed across the globe. This is first suspected to be the route of the first of the wanderings with the Tribe of Dan, who everywhere this tribe migrated they left the name of “Dan” on the names of the rivers in which they passed over; the Don (Dan) River, the Dnieper (Danieper) the Dniester (Daniester) and the Danube as they then floated north upwards towards Denmark (Danmark).
Here came then the entry of the first White People now identified with the R1b Haplogroup. Within this group came also the first “Redheads” into the region of Gaul, or the mid to northern regions of Europe today. As the Celtic Cimmerians, their final resting place was to be in the Isles of the West.
The peoples most associated with the red hair were the Celtic and the Cymric people who have now been identified with the La Tène villages in Central and Northern Europe. It is understandable that the researchers and scholars of the La Tène peoples do not have consensus of opinion of who these people were. They arrived in central Gaul in the 5th century BCE, expanded in the 4th century to Hispania (Spain) the Balkans and over into Asia Minor, but not necessarily in that order.
Instead, they arrived from the East as the Lost Ten Tribes. They became known as the Gauls or the Gallic peoples. In fact it was the Lost Tribe Gallic general, Brennus who first reached the city of Rome in the 4th century and took possession of it.
It was in the 8th century BCE that the Samaritans of the House of Joseph were first called the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel for they were collectively ruled by the Tribe of Joseph whose descendants were the Tribe of Ephraim and Manasseh. They were cast out of their homelands by the Assyrians and sent into exile in the land of Khorasan, by the Caspian and the Black Seas by the G-d of Israel. This is done for predominately one reason; their apostasy, corruption, and rebellion against the Almighty One of Israel for rebelling against the dynastic rulers of Kings David and Solomon, refusal to worship in the Temple of Solomon during the Jewish festivals, and refusal to accept the Mechoquek of Judah, the Jewish rabbanim to be the legal Torah jurists for all 12-Tribed Israel.
These tribes were called the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The central governance of their kingdom was the tribal land of Samaria, where the modern Palestinians people are trying to take this land to be the “Nation of Palestine”, but there is one problem. This “deed” to the titled of this land has already been land has already been promised by the G-d of Israel to be for the restoration of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel (Ezekiel 36).
These tribes were instead exiled to the land that today encompasses the region of Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan populated by the largest tribe of the region; the Bani-Israel people called the Pashtuns Tribal peoples.
Our heart and minds begin to ponder as we remember that the Israelite Pashtuns are prophetically destined by the God of Israel to become a military force that will cause the “nations to stumble” while at the same time contain the forces of evil. Are the “nations that stumble” the same nations the will bring the forces of evil? Are we seeing a role reversal, where the allied powers of the west that claim to bring peace and freedom with democracy will actually be the forces of the Anti-Messiah called in Islam as the Dajjal?
According to the Islamic messianic imagery of the world at the time of the end, the forces of evil will come from those global powers that are seeking to take all free will and independence away from all mankind so that they can no longer worship the Monotheistic God of the Universes.
The “army of the Mahdi” will begin what appears to be a new Islamic Jihad. As they travel from the Afghani region of the Pashtuns in Afghanistan, we find an amazing event happening. The Mahdi and his military followers appear to be traveling southwest towards the City of Jerusalem. This will be the same but opposite direction that they were taken into captivity 2,700 years ago by the Assyrian Empire. This time, they will plant the black flags of the Jihad in the “Holy House”, the “Baitul Maqdas” the “Noble Sanctuary” known as the “Al-Aqsa Mosque” or the “Mosque of Omar”.
The Prophet (PBUH or “peace be upon him who reads the words of the Prophet) said: "We (I and my family) are members of a household that Allah (SWT) has chosen for them the life of the Hereafter over the life of this world; and the members of my household (Ahlul-Bayt – “the household of Muhammad) shall suffer a great affliction and they shall be forcefully expelled from their homes after my death.
Then there will come people from the East carrying Black Flags, and they will ask for some good to be given to them, but they shall be refused service; as such, they will wage war and emerge victorious, and will be offered that which they desired in the first place, but they will refuse to accept it till they pass it to a man (The Mahdi) from my family (Ahlul-Bayt – “People of the House of Muhammad) that appears to fill the Earth with justice as it has been filled with corruption. So whoever reaches that (time) ought to come to them even if crawling on the ice/snow since among them is the Vice-regent of Allah (Khalifatullah) al-Mahdi." (Sunan Ibn Majah)
Hadhrat (“Great Presence”) Abu Hurairah (R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said - "(Armies carrying) Black Flags will come from Khurasan. No power will be able to stop them and they will finally reach Eela (Baitul Maqdas) where they will erect their flags." (Trimdi)
Yet, it appears that the forces of the Pashtuns Israelites will be diverted first to Istanbul (Constantinople) before they turn to face the arrival of the international forces of the anti-Messiah, the Islamic Dajjal. It is not certain as to which of these military engagements will occur first and their sequence of events; fall of Istanbul (Constantinople), the war with the Anti-Messiah (Dajjal) or the entry into Jerusalem and planting their black war flags on the Temple Mount.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying: “You have heard about a city the one side of which is in the land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople). They said: Allah's Messenger, yes. Thereupon he said: “The Last Hour would not come (time of the end) unless seventy thousand persons (warriors) from Bani lshaq (Sons of Isaac) would attack it.”
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying: “When they would land there, they will neither fight with weapons nor would shower arrows but would only say: “There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest,” that one side of it would fall.” (Saheh Muslim)
Strange as it may be, the Mahdi may be bringing home the most fierce and powerful of the warrior tribes from the Afghan and Pakistani region, the 41 million member Pashtun Tribes of Bani Israel; the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel. They had resisted successfully, like no other warrior tribes, the global assault of the economic internationalists of the west. Will HaShem, the G-d of Israel begin the redemption process at this time?
This concept may have a certain validity. When we look back into the annals of time, we realize that the redemption of the Jewish people who were in exile under the dominion of the Babylonians by King Nebuchadnezzar, came at the hands of the ruler of the Medes and the Persians called Cyrus the Great.
Cyrus the Great, the Pasargadae (Tribe of Gad) Lost Israelite
Destination Yisrael – “Cyrus was a Pasargadae Israelite who now as the emperor of Medes and the Persians returned back to the lands of Media seeking to tame and subdue his exiled cousins whether he knew that or not, and their restless and warring urges for rebellion. This was predicated by the historical facts that the rebellious Lost Ten Tribes of Israel were exiled by the Assyrians from their tribal “Land of Promise” for their continuous rebellion against the Almighty One of Israel.
It was in the year of 530 BCE that the Persian, under the Shah of the Persians and the Medes, Cyrus the Great returned to the tribal territories of the Massagetai (Tribes of Gad and Manasseh). In battle with the rebellious Israelites, the Persians lost the battle and King Cyrus was killed in the year of 529 BCE. Out of this victory, we can visualize how the women in their social cultural were elevated. At the time of that war, the Massagetai warriors were under the rule of the Scythian Queen Tomyris who sought revenge against the Persians for the death of her son in an earlier battle. Queen Tomyris in one of the most famous stories of antiquity, ordered the head of Cyrus the Great, the Persian King, to be cut off and placed into a wineskin filled with his blood, when she stated the following words of infamy:
Queen Tomyris – “You have destroyed me, alive and victorious that I am, by vehemently taking away my son. Now came my turn, to satiate you with your own blood, as I have promised” (Herodotus History I.214).
Today the bravery of Queen Tomyris is praised in the local Kazakhstan society as a national heroine, where the name, Tomyris is one of the most popular names given to young Kazakh girls. Here again we see the archetype of the ancient Children of Israel, when the prophetess Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, along with Moses led the Children of Israel into a song of praise on the shores of the Red Sea when the Pharaoh of Egypt and the entire Egyptian army were destroyed in the collapsing wall of water and the Children of Israel were saved. (Exodus 15:20-21)
Here are a people that will refuse to the death to be ruled by global domination…Today, all the nations of the world are lusting for Afghanistan “oil” and “real estate” in Israel. Today, Afghanistan is controlled by a tribal coalition from all the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel.
The Zionist State of Israel represents the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, but the Orthodox Jewish people have had virtually no political control. The political and the international relations of the State of Israel are controlled by the “Sabbatean Jews”or the “International Jews.”
The Pashtun Tribes of Bani-Israel refused to ally themselves, as did their ancestors of old, with any nation’s global quest for world domination. This gives us a certain suspicion that the identity that BibleSearchers has long proclaimed that the “He-Goat” of Daniel 8that was identified by the Archangel as “Greece” truly does represent the global force that are following the same identical path of Alexander the Great promoting Grecian Hellenism and Grecian democracy to bring “peace” for all mankind.”
Alexander the Great and his military forces of Greece tried very hard to destroy the Bani-Israel tribes of Afghanistan by genocide yet it was the Lost Ten Tribes of the Parthians and Afghani warriors who successfully resisted Rome. They resisted and eventually drove out the Queen’s Army of Great Britain in 1880. They resisted and then watched as the Russian Imperial Army crept back home in defeat in 1980. Now they are resisting and sapping the resources of the greatest imperial power of the world, the United States, over the fear of the Al Qaeda, whom America once created, protected, but now the Pashtun Talibani Afghani are protecting.
The prophetic picture proclaims that they will not be controlled by America’s global intent for world domination. Neither will they be controlled by the Vatican intent for world domination, even when all the major global forces, American, Europe, Russia, and China will be under Jesuit, Illuminati, Freemason and Sabbatean Jewish control.
And now, the Pashtuns, according to the Hadiths, will soon someday be heading home to their former capital of the United Kingdom of Israel under Kings David and Solomon. They will hear the “whistle of the Lord of hosts” and they will return home. How that reunion will come about, is a mystery in which only the mind of the God of Israel knows.
Zechariah 9:6 – “I will strengthen the House of Judah, and I will save the House of Joseph (Houses of Ephraim and Manasseh collectively as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel). I will bring them back, because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside: for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them...
I will whistle for them and gather them, for I will redeem them, and they shall increase as they once increased…I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria, I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, until no more room is found for them.”
This is the promise of the “One G-d of Israel” that He will redeem His own. How this will happen is only for the Almighty One of Israel to know and for His will to accomplish.
It appears that the Pashtun Lost Israelites will be the home and the bastion of the 70,000 Islamic warriors that will go and fight the Anti-Messiah at the “End of Days.” How this will morph together into one, we also do not know. Only vignettes of that culmination of the present age and the rise of the future era of the Messiah, have been given to the prophets of old. The rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is only the beginning of that prophetic drama.
How they mesh and morph into the future has already been holographic preserved by the forces of the Divine. How we approach that day will depend on how transparent our mental filter toward HaShem has been nurtured so that indwelling spirit of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) can dwell within us to guide and direct our lives in our near future.
************
The G-d of Israel proclaimed that there are only two groups of people who will be restored back into covenant with Him, the Jews of the House of Israel and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Both families, the Jews and the Israelites were scattered across the face of the earth and would become HaShem emissaries incognito sent to elevate the 70 nations of the world, so that even Righteous Gentiles could become part of the covenant.
Even the children of Ishmael still rooted in Islam, the children of the Lost Ten Tribes who today are now Buddhist, or the Lost Ten Tribes who today call themselves Christians will be assimilated into the Jewish culture. This will be because deep in their hearts they are known by the Divine to be “safe to save” and willing to live in peace with their brothers; all descendants of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Only the G-d of Israel knows who they are.
We are quickly being polarizing a world in which there will be only two choices; we are either for the Hebrew Israelites; both now part of the Jews of the house of Judah and the Lost Israelites of the House of Israel or we will be against them. This comes to one sobering conclusion, if you are a descendant of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, whether Muslim, Buddhist or Christian, and you still despise your brothers, the Jews, you may be left outside, not redeemed to participate in the coming “Era of the Messiah” even though you think you want to be a part of them.
If you have wondered how biblical prophecy fits into your life, and how it will affect the Return of the House of Israel, then the G-d of Israel is beginning his “call” to bring you home, too. You might desire to reconnect with the Biblical portrayals on what is and may be happening in your near future. This Biblical portrayal includes Prophecies that the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel are about to return to the Land of their Biblical Inheritance. This is Divine Destiny in living reality as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel return to their Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

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!
If your Ancestry comes from any of these Lands,
Welcome, You are a “Lost Ten Triber” of the House of Israel!
The Prophets have Proclaimed, at the Time of the End, You will Return Home!
