On July 14, 2015, a nuclear agreement was signed in Vienna between Iran and the P5+1 (five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States – plus Germany and the European Union. This nuclear agreement was called “The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)” in reference to the nuclear program of Iran.
It was not just Iran that the G-d of Israel was proclaiming his wrath and displeasure but also to the European Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who as the Franks in France, the Brits in the United Kingdom, the Germanic tribes in Germany who sat on the UN Security Council empowered this enigma of allowing the Iranian government to continue to threaten the Jewish people in Israel with genocide, nuclear ablation and annihilation; in essence another Holocaust.
But the displeasure of the Divine will also weigh heavily upon the European Union who is reeling towards the first bankruptcy of a western nation in a two thousand years since the days of the collapse of Rome.
Yet, the European Union also includes the Lost Ten Tribes in Northern Gaul which include the Isles of the West (Ireland, Scotland and Wales), Royal Scythian as Vikings of Scandinavia plus Netherlands and Belgium in the lowlands were all having their spiritual eyes open to a divine reality; torment my Chosen People and I will torment you according to the old Hebrew idiom; “middah k’neged middah” which means:
“What goes around comes around”,
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot, a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise”,
“The measure by which one measures will be measured out to him”,
“The Study of the Torah is equal to keeping all the commandments”.
Two weeks later in the first week of August, 2015, the finger of G-d touched the Nation of Iran with a burning inferno. If you thought the Middle East was heating up with the pangs of war, well that truth was now becoming literally true.
The region became aflame with inhuman heat as the “heat index” rose across the Levant called the Middle East. The infernos of war had taken its toll upon Iraq and now the inferno of the Divine was sending a warning; “Leave My people, the Jews, alone.
Today, this once Sunni Muslim nation is now under the autocratic rule of Shi’ite Muslim’s Supreme ruler of Iran, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; who now controls Baghdad, Iraq. Here we see with the rise of “The Persian” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who toppled Saddam Hussein’s “Babylon” and now the Ayatollah has his short rise to fame as the enemy of Israel.
When Khamenei’s era of Persian rule is over, then will arise the rule of Greece, epitomized according to the rabbis as the United States for “Greece (America) is the face of Rome (Europe)”.
Saddam’s secular socialist Ba’ath Party was cast out and since 2014, Haider Jawad Kadhim Al-Abadi, a Shia Muslim, has been the Prime Minister of Iraq, designated by President Fuad Masum, a Shi’ite Muslim, to succeed former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, also a Shi’ite Muslim.
Now the Supreme Ruler of Iran is being challenged by ISIS (Islamic State Iraq and Syria) or ISIL (Islamic State Iraq and the Levant) who now are seeking to control of all the Middle East as the Islamic Sunni Caliphate. Who is aiding this conflict? The Muslim ruler of the White House?
Just two days before, on August 6, 2015, the first attack by ISIS warriors against a Saudi Arabian Mosque occurred when a lone suicide bomber set off an explosive in the Saudi Sunni Mosque in Abha that was close to the Yemeni border. ISIS singled out this mosque for it was an attack against Saudi members of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit that were in the middle of noon prayers.
The Finger of the Divine is swirling the Middle East into a Flaming Heat inferno as Iran almost toppled Saudi Arabia’s record “Heat Index” using observations including sky cover, temperature, humidity and winds for Iraq, Kuwait, western Iran and nearby Saudi Arabia.
Nearby to Israel in the Mediterranean Sea is the Island of Cyprus. Here is the summer vacation land of Europeans and Middle Eastern on the island famous for its golden sands.
This year something is very different. In the months before the High Holidays of the Jewish people on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Succot, something strange is going on. People are not looking to fun and pleasure but more at a meaning of life. The times are different and people of all nations are holding their breath wondering; “What is going to happen next?”
This year in Cyprus where the beaches are loaded with vacationers, it is so hot that steering wheels have been reported to melt and people have been advised to remove newspapers from car dashboards for fear they will burst into flames and consume the whole car.
Over in Nicosia, the capital of the divided island between the Greek and Turkey Cypriots where the average high summer August temperature is 37.9C (98.4F) has vaulted to a scorching 57C (138.2F). Unofficially as noted above, temperatures up to 63C (145.4) have been recorded in automobile outside thermometers in Nicosia. According to the UK Met, the “blistering heatwave” that was blazing across Syria, Iraq and Iran is now fanning torrid temperatures across the island recorded as “very, very hot weather.
Turkey – (August 2015) 100 people drowned trying to escape 40C (104F) temperatures
Cyprus - (August 2015) – The Island playground of the rich and famous in Europe and the Middle East where Nicosia, the capital averages a temperature of 36.9C (98.3F) temperature is now simmering at 57C (134.6F).
Spain – (August 2015) – 36-year-old cyclist died on the side of the road after medics found and treated him for a heat stroke with dehydration and a high body temperature as 20 provinces in Spain quickly were put on red alert for extreme heat.
Turkmenistan – July 2015) - The hottest day in Turkmenistan in Central Eurasia at the capital city of Ashgabat on July 1, 2014 came with a strong heat wave that reached the sweltering temperature of 47.2C (116.96F) , setting a record for the hottest June day ever measured.
India – from mid-April to the end of May, a massive heat wave settled over India which left 230 people dead.

Two weeks after signing the nuclear accord, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei unveiled his new book, a 416 page manifesto called “Palestine”. He reveals in depth of how he plans to create the destruction of Israel while at the same time deceiving the United States.
Here the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the most charismatic and fulminant leader of a nation seeking to invoke its image of control of the whole world by chanting, “Death to America”, “Death to Israel”.
As “The flag bearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem”, Khamenei proclaims his mandate that “Israel does not have the right to exist as a national state.” And so, he seeks to cause the final destruction of the State of Israel by: nabudi (annihilation), imha (fading away to oblivion) and zaval (effacement). Therefore the destruction of Israel will be achieved by the ancient but well-established principles of Islam.
One of the primary principles in Islam is that any land that was once under Muslim rule, can never be returned to non-Muslim rulers. In this case, Khamenei states that Israel is a special case, because the “Little Satan” is an “ally of the American Great Satan.” This is because the “Great American Satan” has waged war against the Muslims and now occupied Jerusalem, whom Khamenei calls “Islam’s third Holy City.”
If the aging Khamenei has his way, Iran will begin a long period of “low-intensity warfare” against Israel. It will be a war of attrition that will create so much discomfort for the Israeli Jews living in Israel that the Jewish citizens will seek to leave or flee the State of Israel.
The evidence is staring us in our face. While the Middle East nations who have been implacable enemies of Israel, the Israeli people are cooling off in 100 degree weather at Gan HaShlosha National Park while the rest of the Middle East including Iraq and Iran are baking in unlivable weather conditions in searing heat upwards to 119F in Baghdad, Iraq, 120F in Ahwaz, Iran, 109F in Dubai,UAE and 164F in Bandar-e-Mahshahr, Iran.
Nowhere in the book does the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei call for a complete destruction of the Land of Israel or a massacre of the Jewish people. It does appear that his intent is just the same, whereas the G-d of Israel through the torrid heating cycles in the Middle East, it does appear that the “world of the Divine” is intervening with His protective shield upon his people the Jews.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei does outline his vision that he will create “fighters” in the West Bank patterned after the style of Hezbollah cells that will be his standard bearers of inflicting Islamic justice, violence, genocide and destruction upon Israeli settlements and cities especially in Shomron and Judea.
As Khamenei wrote in his manner of self-congratulations:
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – “We have intervened in anti-Israel matters, and it brought us victory in the 33-day war by Hezbollah against Israel in 2006 and in the 22-day war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip.”
In his new book, the Iranian religious leader calls for long periods of low-intensity warfare that well make life unpleasant or impossible for a majority of Israeli Jews to live in comfort and safety so they will seek to leave Israel.
Then the Ayatollah Khamenei believes that as the cost of remaining and living in Israel continues to rise and the cost of supporting the Jewish state by the United States, the Great Satan, that America’s support of Israel will become specifically distressing, especially for the United States State Department.
His plan of the future is that the State of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza will be put under another United Nations Mandate before the creation of the New State of Palestine that will be controlled by the United Nations Army.
The Muslims will be allowed to stay in the region with full voting rights. Jews, Lost 10 Tribers and any non-Muslim will be allowed to live in the region if they prove they have “genuine roots” in Shomron and Judea and will thus become “protected minorities.
In this case the strict Muslim apartheid of Iran would allow Islamic Arabs full voting rights and protection while the “protected Jews” be under a strict apartheid Muslim state where Jews would have no rights to vote and in the future may no longer be protected if they refuse to convert to Islam. Here we see the incarnation of the evil Balaam of old who sought to curse the Children of Israel into extinction from existence in the days of old.
So as the Iranian leaders revel in their proclaimed victory over America and the European States in signing a new agreement designed by John Kerry, a JINO (Jew in Name Only) of Austrian Jewish descent and Barak Hussein Obama of Muslim-American descent, a new holocaust has already been envisioned in the eyes of the Ayatollah; either drive out the Jews by a long war of attrition, or create a Jewish homeland controlled by the nations of the world with no civil or religious rights.
In the meantime, the G-d of Israel is unsheathing the Sun who is glowing forth with great fury.
The Ayatollah of Iran, the State Department of the United States, the UN Security Council and the European countries plus Russia and China it appears do not pay much attention to the TaNaKh (Old Testament). Whether the Secretary of State Kerry, the occupant of the Oval Office in the White House cares or not, the Almighty One of Israel will respond when the prophetic day of Psalms 83 arrives:
Psalms 83, a Psalm of Asaph:
Psalms 83, a Psalm of Asaph – “O G-d! do not hold Yourself silent, be not deaf and be not still, O G-d. For behold, Your foes are in uproar and those who take counsel against those sheltered by You.
They said, ‘Come, let us cut them off from nationhood so Israel’s name will not be remembered any longer!’ For they take counsel together unanimously, they strike a covenant against You…Who said, ‘We will conquer for ourselves the pleasant habitations of G-d.’
O my G-d, make them like the whirling chaff, like stubble before the wind, like a fire burning the forest and like a flame that sets mountains ablaze. So pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with your storm. Fill their faces with shame, then they will seek Your Name, HaShem. Let them be shamed and terrified forever, then they will be disgraced and they will perish. Then they will know that you – Whose Name is HaShem – are alone, Most High over all the earth”
Are our eyes so blinded that we cannot see beyond the literal drama of our lives today and refuse to believe that there is a future guela (redemption) for the Jews of the House of Judah and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel? Can we not envision the spiritual manifestations of the future land of peace in a Gan Eden (Garden of Eden) that will be under the august Prince before the Divine Face, called Metatron who will become King Messiah (Melekh HaMaschiach)?
What is not comprehended is that the “war of the heavens” for control of the future Greater Israel has already begun. The forces of light under the Michael the Archangel are fighting the forces of darkness under the rule of Ha Satan. According to the ancient traditions since the days of the Prophet and Patriarch called Enoch, Planet Earth is but a created mirror image of what resided in the realms of the 7th heaven where the Throne of the Divine resides.
El Shaddai the Almighty G-d of the Universes is today trapping the Middle East under a brutal “heat dome” bringing with it temperatures of apocalyptic proportions. This aberrant weather is cascading around the world from China and Japan in the east to California in the West.
The city of Bandar Mahshahr’s 100,000 residents in the Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran witnessed the breaking of new records as the “heat index” hit 164 degree Fahrenheit and fell just shy of the all-time record of 178 degrees on July 8, 2003 in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
Anthony Sagliani – “That was one of the most incredible temperature observations I have ever seen and it is one of the most extreme readings ever in the world…
Believe it or not, it is always very humid in these places surrounding the Persian Gulf during the summer, but the nature of the extreme heat wave is causing some of the highest combinations of heat and humidity ever observed…
Right now, it appears as though the ridge of high pressure will remain in place across the Middle East through at least the next week, so more oppressive heat and humidity, and more astounding apparent temperatures, are likely through the next several days.”
The Blessings and warnings were given to the Children of Israel (All 12 Tribes) just before they crossed over the Jordan River into Canaan. As commanded by G-d through Moses (Moshe):
Deuteronomy 28:1-2,23-25 – “It shall be that if you hearken to the voice of HaShem, your G-d, to observe , to perform all of His commandments that I command you this day, then HaShem your G-d, will make you supreme over all the nations of the earth. All these blessing will come upon you and overtake you, if you hearken to the voice of HaShem, your G-d…
Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field. ..Blessed shall you be when you come in and bless shall you be when you go out. HaShem shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you; on one road will they go out toward you and on seven roads will they flee before you.”
Your heavens over your head will be copper and the land beneath you will be iron. HaShem will make the rain of your Land dust and dirt; from the heaven it will descend upon you until you are destroyed.”
You cannot beg off just because you are not Jewish for this promise includes all the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. The world’s elite are crying out “global warming”, but the G-d of Israel is uncloaking the sheath around the sun and by the command of the El Shaddai, the sun is heating up. The world will be destroyed and consumed before it will be again be restored as Gan Eden (Garden of Eden) on Planet Earth.
As Isaiah the prophet spoke concerning the future land of Greater Israel which covers the land from the Nile to the Euphrates, we read:
Isaiah 24:1-2,4-6 – “Behold HaShem is emptying the land (surrounding Greater Israel) and making it deserted; He will distort its appearance and scatter its inhabitants…The land (Islamic Middle East) will be utterly emptied and utterly despoiled, for HaShem has spoken this word.
The land (of Islamic Middle East) will become desolate and withered; the world (who inhabit other continents) will be wretched and withered; the exalted of the people will be wretched…for they had transgressed the commandments and have violated laws; they have abrogated the everlasting Covenant…
Because of false oath, the land is consumed and those who inhabit it have become decimated; for this, the inhabitants of the land have become parched, and few people remain.”
Israeli Commando Rabbi Lazer Brody – “It's hot here in Israel, with 100+F temperatures. But, with a heat dome hovering over the entire Middle East, temperatures in Iran are hitting a searing heat-index of 164F! We don't have to worry about their nukes, for if Hashem wants, He can melt them...
Is this an indication of the imminent Geula?
The prophet says that right before the Geula:
Malachi 3:19 – “The day will burn like a furnace”
Our sages elaborate and say that as Geula approaches:
Tractate Nedarim 8b - “Hashem will remove the sun from its covering. The righteous shall heal in its heat but the wicked shall be doomed in it"
What can a person do to spare himself and his family of the birth-pangs of Moshiach and of the Gog-and-Magog turmoil?
If you're Jewish, begin to observe the Sabbath.
If you're not Jewish, accept the Seven Noahide Commandments. There's no better insurance.”

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,

The Fast Day of the Fifth Month, called Tisha b’Av is one of the holiest fast days in the Hebrew calendar. Called the 9th Av, this day of infamy has been recorded down in the annals of Jewish life as when G-d withdraws His Presence and allows the nations of the world to inflict judgment upon G-d’s holy people.
And so again, on the Shmittah Year of the Jewish year of 5775, on the 9th of Av called Tisha b’Av, and awaiting at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur the New Jubilee Year, we once again mourn with the Jews of the apocalyptic events that have happened to the House of Judah, many times incited, promoted, and implements by the evil desires of the rebelling Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
On this cycle, again we, as the Lost Ten Tribes observing the signs in the heavens put into motion by G-d at the creation of this universe, have to stand with shame of the sins of our forefathers in rebelling and separating themselves after the death of King Solomon from the United Kingdom of Israel.
Once again we get to review the events during a day of fasting of the horrendous implications of the destruction of the Holy Temple of Kings David and Solomon by the Babylonians in 423 BCE according to the rabbinic Hebrew calendar called the Seder Olam Rabba and again the destruction of the Temple of Herod by the Romans in 68 CE. This were first recorded in the annals of the Kings of Israel.

The 2015 10th Anniversary Tisha b’Av Expulsion of the Jewish Religious Settlers on August 14, 2005
During the Holocaust, the Hitler’s Nazi government in Germany systematically carried out murderous and demonic activities on the 9th of Av against the Jewish people. Yet at the “end of days” which may begin on the 9th of Av, Sunday, July 26, 2015, according to the Prophet Zechariah this time of fasting and sorrow may be turned to a day of fasting, joy, and gladness and cheerfulness as the 9th of Av returns again in 2016, for the forces of evil are gradually being forced back Metatron and the Forces of Light.
Zechariah 8:19 – “The word of HaShem, Master of Legions, came to me, saying: Thus said HaShem, Master of Legions: The fast of the fourth (month) , the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth will be to the House of Judah for joy and for gladness and for happy festival. (Only) love truth and peace.”
It has been a decade when the world watched with amazement as the Jewish government visibly and forcibly exiled the religious settlers from Gush Katif in the Gaza region. They were forced to give up their homes, businesses, schools, synagogues, farms and nurseries to the Gaza people.
The pressures came from the Israeli government, governed by the modern day Erev Rav, “mixed multitude”, who in the days before Israel met her Creator at the mount called Sinai, made the golden calf and enticed the Children of Israel to expel G-d from their minds and hearts and commit their bodies to orgies and abominations to the G-d of Israel.
For a moment of time, the Leftist Jewish Zionist and the Rightist Religious-Orthodox Jewish Zionists were on the same spiritual geo-political page. Hundreds of thousands of them participated in non-violent demonstrations that also included 250,000 people rallying in the Tel Aviv city square.
Together they held hand to hand a human chain with an estimated 150,000 Israelis that began at the Jewish settlement in Northern Gaza at Nissanit and stretched for fifty-five –six miles from Gaza to the Kotel (Jerusalem’s Western Wall) in Old City Jerusalem.
What was so dismaying was that this was the first time that the Jewish State of Israel had agreed to dismantle settlements built on ancient Jewish soil since Palestine was created by the Roman Empire.
Here was the home of the Nathan the false Jewish prophet of false Jewish Messiah, Rabbi Shabbatai Tzvi who declared that the era of the Messiah would begin the June 18, 1666 (June (6th month) 18 (6+6+6) 1666 (1000+6+666).

What is obvious, the Jewish people had a vigorous and viable presence in the Land of Israel. It was early populated by the purchase of large acreage of land by the Rothschild family and settled by the Jewish people. Today, the Jewish parliament called the Knesset as it was built by the Rothschilds.
The first real viable presence of the Palestinian people was when Gaza was seized and occupied by Palestinians (ancient Philistines) during the First Arab-Israeli war of 1947. This came when the combined military forces of the Arab countries of Egypt, Jordan and Syria together with expeditionary forces from Iraq, entered Roman Palestineseeking to revoke the Balfour Agreement of 1917, the 1920 creation of the British Mandate of Palestine legalizing the temporary rule of Palestine by Great Britain after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1920.
It is important to understand that this was a global legal mandate for the British Mandate that was based upon the principles contained in Article 22 of the Palestine Mandate that legalized the temporary rule of Palestine by Great Britain.
The policies of the British Mandate dissatisfied both Arabs and Jews. The Arab opposition erupted first in during the 1936 –1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. It would be later that the Jewish resistance developed into the Jewish insurgency in Palestine (1944-1947). When the British Mandate rule ended at midnight on May 14, 1948, the Jewish resistant movement was already in full force.
It was at midnight on May 14, 1948 that the British Mandate rule formally ended. Hours before the ending of the British Mandate the Israeli Declaration of Independence (Hakhrazat HaAtzma'ut) or the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel (Megilat HaAtzma'ut) was formally declared.
David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization and the chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel (Land of Israel) So today, the Independence of the State of Israel is celebrated annually with the Hebrew calendar on the 5th Iyar in Israel as the national holiday of Yom Ha'atzmaut(Independence Day).
In 1947 these ongoing tensions erupted into a Jewish civil war, following the November 29, 1947 adoption of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine which planned to divide Palestine into three areas: an Arab state, a Jewish state and the Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem. Within three days of the UN vote, religious mullahs of the University of Al-Azhar, the most respected in the Sunni Muslim world called for a “holy war” against the Labor Jewish Zionists.
The next day, the combined forces of Egypt, Jordan and Syria, together with expeditionary forces from Iraq, entered Palestine - Jordan took control of the Arab areas. They lashed out and attacked the Israeli forces and invaded several Jewish settlements over the next 10 months of fighting. Several truces were declared and broken by the invading Arab forces and for several weeks the battle raged in the Sinai Peninsula and north into Southern Lebanon.
When the war ended and the 1948 Partition Plan was put into effect, the State of Israel took possession of the region that the UN General Assembly Resolution 181 had recommended for the proposed Jewish state as well as almost 60% of the area of Arab state proposed by the 1948 Partition Plan. This including the Mediterranean regions of Jaffa, Lydda and Ramle area, plus the regions surrounding the Sea of Galilee. It also included parts of the southern region of the Negev, a wide strip along the Tel-Aviv-Jerusalem road, and included West Jerusalem, and some territories in the West Bank.
The region of Transjordan was taken possession by the newly created Hashemite Kingdoms of Saudi Arabia and Jordan which it annexed, and the Egyptian military took possession of the Gaza Strip.
There was no legal state created for the Palestinian Arabs who most were invited by Egypt and Saudi into the region Shomron and Judea in the hopes of getting free land in the aftermath of the 1947 war. As such no state was created for the Palestinian Arabs in Shomron and Judea for the new Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was to have been the homeland of the Palestinian peoples.
The hopes and the dreams of the Jewish people have always been “Someday in Jerusalem” that their goal of a homeland would once again be blessed by the Hand of G-d. But now the day of infamy appears again to dash away all of their hopes and dreams.
The emotions were rising astronomically from earth to the 7th heaven as even the Katifers (residents in Gush Katif) wearing t-shirts stating “love will be victorious,” really thought in their hearts that “Am Yisrael” was really there to protect them, but Israel was becoming internally fragmented.
The left brain of Israel did not want to make any changes in their lives, like turning to HaShem with the love and emuna of faith. All it took was teshuva (repentance) that the Divine Power of El Shaddai (Almighty G-d) was powerful enough that He could bring the guela (redemption) to its completion by ahishena (with swift and complete redemption). Instead they now had to wait for redemption by b’itah (in its times with great catastrophes) for the new Messianic Age with Metatron now as King Messiah (Emekh HaMalekh) was on the verge of being revealed.
Instead Am Yisrael (All Israel), Leftish and Rightist and definitely Judah and Lost Israel were not spiritually on the same page. “Team BushGog’s Neo-Cons” and especially Northern Europe headed by the Norwegians fulminating the Oslo Peace Accord seeking to piecemeal give away the tribal inheritance of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel in Gush Katif, Shomron, Judah, Galilee, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan all the way to the borders of “Greater Israel” between the Nile and the Euphrates River were clueless of the destruction power of their warped decision making acumen.
Yet, the charm of the lethal “Land for Peace” pogrom continued to be lashed out against the Jewish State of Israel for “occupying Shomron and Judea” and creating an apartheid state against the Palestinian people when the only other option was genocide to the Jewish people. As reported in the Destination Yisrael October 2011 article titled, “Israel occupying Palestinian Land? – “The Duplicity of Occupied Land”
Destination Yisra'el - The sham of creating a Palestinian State by a vote in the United Nations was derailed only for a moment of time. Eventually all the nations of the world will have to cast their vote for or against Israel and documented in the Heavenly Court.
It’s also not whether to declare a Palestinian State by negotiations without UN mandated preconditions or with preconditions, but the judgments that are coming down the heavenly highway will be meted out “midda kenegged midda”, or “measure for measure” and understood in the colloquial sense as: “Whatever a Nation sows (against Israel) that shall it also reap!”
Beware to the nations of the world! G-d’sjudgments will be harsh (Bi’etah) unless He sweetens it with love (Ahishena) for His chosen people still living within those lands. With the considerations for the harsh rhetoric by the enemy nations of Israel accusing her of being an occupying power for a land in which they had total possession or lived in harmony with other peoples for over 3,500 years, may have to be judged for failing to judge all nations of the earth with the same standards in which they are placing upon the Jewish State of Israel.
History has documented that the Jewish people have had a sizable presence in the land of Israel for three and one-half centuries. They occupied the State of Judea totally for almost 1600 years (except for 70 years of exile in Babylon and Persia) until their exile for the second time by Rome in 70 CE. For the next 1900 years, the Jewish people remained a sizable population in Judea, Samaria and Galilee, willing to live at peace with other peoples.”
Prior to the Sharon’s 2005 disengagement, prompted and nurtured by the BushGog White House President George W. Bush, the Gaza settlements were viewed no different than the ancient kings of Judah since King David and Solomon who created outlying fortresses and settlements to protect the integrity of the defenses of Jerusalem in the center of Israel.
So in 2005, on the 9th of Av called Tisha b’Av, hundreds of thousands of Israelis participated in nonviolent demonstrations against Sharon’s Disengagement Plan to dismantle the homes of 10,000 Israeli farmers settled in that region.
Distressingly, the disengagement that caused upheaval for so many was all for naught. In 2006, Hamas was voted into power in the Gaza Strip, and tens of thousands of mortars and rockets, more than ever before, have since been shot into Israel at civilian targets.
It was the promise of Sharon that the withdrawal of the settlers from Gaza would “reduce terror and give Israeli citizens the maximum level of security.” In themonths to follow the Katif communities were now used as launching pads for thousands of rockets aimed at civilian homes, schools and business by Arab terrorists and training grounds for the Hamas army. To times in the last 10 day, the Nation of Israel had to go to war since the disengagement, 2008 (Operation Cast Lead)and 2014 (Miv'tza Tzuk Eitan or “Operation Protective Edge” to halt the missiles of death and destruction against Jewish people.
In the process of giving up their homeland in the futile and empty quest for peace, the Jewish settlers pressured by the Labor Zionist State of Israel agreed to transfer 3,500 dunams of Gush Katif hothouses to the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The disengagement plan ordered that the settler’s hothouses left in Gaza be transferred to the Gaza people and in less than one week, over 1,700 Jewish families were uprooted, costing over $900 million that included the bulldozing all the Jewish homes and businesses.
As we look back upon the 2005 Gush Katif expulsion of the observant Jews in Gaza, there were one hundred sixty-six Israeli farmers that were producing $120 million in bug free flowers and vegetable produce. They produced over 15% of Israel’s agricultural exports that originated in Gaza. This included cherry tomatoes, herbs and 70% of Israel’s organic produce.
In the end, 200 Jewish farmers signed over their nurseries to the Economic Cooperation Foundation that was funded by the European Union and directed by Yossi Beilin. Dr. Beilin is most noted for being the architect of the ill-fated Oslo Accord that has taken the lives of hundreds of Jews in the quest seeking “Land for Peace.” Beilin was a liberal agnostic Jew who also the architect of the Geneva Accords and the Taglit Birthright Project.
The “Land for Peace” expulsion of the Jews also included a $500,000 gift contributed by the World Bank director James Wolfensohn insuring the implementation of the land transfer. Several other wealthy American Jews including Bill Gates with Microsoft privately purchased several of the more successful greenhouses from the Jewish deportees for $14 million. They in turn were given to the Palestinian Authority and their 1.3 million inhabitants. Within one year the PA had lost control of the Gaza region and the Palestinian Chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization of Hamas had taken control of the region.
Jewish Nursery in Gush Katif along the Gaza Mediterranean Sea
The philanthropists, with the greenhouses also gave the Palestinian- Gazan victors 790 acres of sand dunes that the Jews had turned into fertile farmland. But instead of working the greenhouses to grow the produce which had made Jewish Gush Katif successful, the Arabs systematically dismantled many of them, looting whatever was not nailed down.
The residents of Gush Katif had employed over 4,000 Arabs and now with the Palestinian in control of ownership of the hothouses they could now have permanent jobs or so it was hoped. It was not meant to be. On September 13, as the last IDF soldiers left the region of Gaza, thousands of Palestinians stormed the entire regions of Gaza left 800 of the 4,000 greenhouses unusable. The more radical of the Gazan Palestinian and Islamic Jihad warriors celebrated throughout the region as they burned down the numerous synagogues that were left behind by the observant Jews that formerly lived there.
Repairing the Breach of the Tikkun Olam (Healing the World)
Before all the breeches that can be repaired and restored back to its original primordial state, we must take another look at the meaning of Tikkun Olam, repairing and the restoration of the world and realize that the Jews of the House of Judah and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel cannot and will not repair and restore the world. The repairing will be done at the Almighty G-d of Israel.
It is not our responsibility to save the world, or even to repair it. This is not a call to repair the world of social justice or any other way of using direct actions or imperatives, from our human perspectives. Rather, we as the Lost Ten Tribes must willingly and openly open our hearts and repair the rift first between the House of Judah and the House of Israel before all of us can be restored back into the House of Jacob. Why? So that the restoration of all the children of the Patriarch Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Klal Yisrael) may be accomplished in the restoration of All Israel by the Holy and Divine One. So how will be done?
Truly at this moment of time the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel are left on the sidelines and will be until we begin again to observe the Torah as it was given by the Holy One of Israel. It is imperative for us to join again with Jewish orthodoxy and learn how to conduct ourselves properly, to observe the Mitzvos of HaShem, keep the Ten Commandments which are “commands” of G-d that require imperatives through practice and action of living the right way of life.
We, as Lost 10-Tribers who rebelled against G-d, 3,800 years ago are not capable of repairing all that wrong with the world in the sense of social and political justice. Joining as “social justice advocates” and aligning ourselves with the “anti-settlement movement” in Shomron and Judea is antithetical to the commands of the G-d of Israel to conquer the land of Israel and help make the “Land” holy.
It is also stripping away the rights of restoration to the tribal homeland of the Lost 10 Tribes who once lived in Shomron, Galilee and eastward to the “other side of the Jordan” where the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh once pastured enormous flocks of cattle, sheep and goats.
If there are imperatives for the Lost Ten Tribes, is that fact that we tore ourselves away from the House of Judah when we rebelled against G-d and refused to worship and participate in the “festivals of the L-rd” at Solomon’s House of God in Jerusalem. We refused to accept the divinely chosen royal dynasty of Kings David and Solomon as our kings and rulers, refused to accept the divinely chosen priesthood from the House of Zadok and refused to accept the legal guardians of the Torah and the TaNaKh called the Mechoquek to guide us in learning how to live a holy life.
It is time we say, “I’m sorry” to the Jews and then plea to the G-d of Israel to restore us back to being observant Israelites. It is time to learn to respect and honor the sages and the rabbanim of Judah and become advocates of the “restoration of All Israel.”

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.
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.

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).

In the State of California where 1,197,190 Jews live today, a “mega-drought” is gripping the State in the greatest water crisis seen in the past 1,000 years. Today, California has the 2nd largest Jewish population in America, at 38.8 million residents in California next to New York and followed by Florida and Texas. Soon they will be dreaming of aliyah back in their homeland in Israel where the G-d of Israel is recreating a new Garden of Eden with water in abundance.
The Colorado River first enters the State of California in the winding river amongst the majestic red cliffs of Lake Powell. It was here the magnificent park called the Glenn Canyon Recreational Reservoir opened up in the year of 1972.
Thirty five years later, the water table crested as noted in the White “Bath-tub Rings” on Lake Powell. Since that day the water level has decreased due to climate changes some speculate as being caused by “HAARP” (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) as a high-powered radio transmission research facility jointly operated by the US Navy, Air Force and several universities.
These concepts have been confirmed in the article titled, “UN Study confirms Military Weather Modification as WMD” (weapon of mass destruction) that included four case studies. Also HAARP and Scalar were documented in 2005 BibleSearchers Reflections as part of the forces of evil that have become the “Signature” of Global Control of Planet Earth.
Yet, the evidence to data is inconclusive. Even so, there is a lot of compelling evidence to link the use of HAARP, CERN, Scalar, or now America’s Electromagnetic Earthquake Weapon as Weapons of Mass Destruction. These include the following Earthquakes and Volcanoes since 2008:
So who is this Meta-Archangel, Metatron, 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 decision in an epochal era of future calamities and apocalyptic upheavals.
If you consider that 1.2 million people of known Jewish descent are living within this desertification region of California, consider how many of these same citizens are descendants of the rebellious Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel whose European ancestors settled in the “lands of their dwelling” first in Northern Europe and later in America? 5 Million? 10 Million? 20 Million?
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 also be heading home to the land of their patriarchal forefathers; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
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.
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)?
It was in the year of 1930 that Hoover Dam was completed and Lake Mead as the water guardian to the Californians in the Los Angeles and San Diego regions began to be filled. Today Lake Mead is virtually dried up, down to 31% of its filling capacity. Within a few months, Lake Mead will no longer be able to send water to its lowest terminal point before entering Mexico on its way to the Gulf of California on the Baja Peninsula.
In the region of the world that is the home of about 20% of the world’s population of Jews are now destined to be one of the greatest crisis regions of the world destined for drought, and a historic population destruction not seen in the days of the ancient empires of the world.
As such, climate change researchers state that California may soon be transformed into a desert wasteland like the Sahara Desert and the Land of Israel in the 15th to the 19th centuries. Millions of Americans will be forced to find somewhere else to livein the worldas the Golden State will be reduced to a desert-like state.
Destination Yisrael – “Their diminished numbers were attested in the 19th travelogues of Mark Twain and other explorers that testified that Palestine was a desolate land; parched, barren, and depopulated.
Mark Twain (1860) – “A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action…We never saw a human being on the whole route. We pressed toward… Jerusalem…Jerusalem is... lifeless. I would not desire to live there. It is a hopeless, dreary, heartbroken land… Palestine is desolate and unlovely. Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?”
The Dwindling Water Levels of Water from Lake Power due to Poor Snowfall in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Last winter, California Governor Jerry Brown went to visit the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California which normally were packed deep under five feet of snow but instead were dry barren hillsides, when he issued an executive order in the state to dramatically reduce the water consumption in the State of California.
California Governor Jerry Brown - “Today, we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet (1.5 meters) of snow. This historic drought demands unprecedented action.”
Now in its 4th year, new records or the catastrophic drought are now being created daily in California and across the State. Lake Powell on the Arizona-Utah border reservoir was at that time at 45% of capacity. By the end of September, it was expected to reach its lowest level on record by September, 2015.
This is highlighted by the government projections that snowpack levels falling upon the Sierra Nevada Mountains will be “just 6 percent of the long-term average”…Now it has been recorded that the snowpack on the Mountain ranges in California have now shattered the prior low snowpack previous low record set in 1977 by 25 percent. This was to be the water, that farmers prayed would be the life saver for their crops and domesticated animals.
A century ago, the population of California was about 3 million people. During the 20th century, the western regions of the United States were the wettest season in over a millennium (1000 years). Yet the normal weather patterns that occurred in the American West are remaking this land into a barren desert. From all appearance the Western region will eventually no longer be the “breadbasket” of America. Instead it will become barren like Israel before the arrival of the disciples of the Vilna Gaon, documented in the Biblesearchers Reflection article title, “The Great Aliyah to Israel by the Disciples of the Vilna Gaon.”It was they who immigrated to populate Jerusalem and settle the regions of Shomron, Galilee, Judea and Jerusalem in preparation for the arrival of King Messiah.
In the region of California alone, the land has have been losing more than 12 million acre-feet of groundwater a year since 2011. Massive cities have been built over the past decades, but the groundwater is not available for the populations to use and will soon be depleted.
When the water is gone, civilization as Californians have known will forever been gone. Massive population transfers are expected to occur to the east. Where will the Jewish people and the Lost 10 Tribes go?
Considering today that there are 5,472,140 acres in the entire land of Israel including the desert region of the Negev and the mountains of Israel in Shomron and Judea. Today, in California, more than 400,000 acres of farmland have lain fallow in the year of 2014 due to the only reason for scarce water supply and this is the 7th Shmittah year of the 7th Sabbatical week of years before the Jubilee year of 2016 arrives. America’s Bread Basket will soon be gone.
Consider again that the G-d of Israel created the Land of Israel and prepared to restore and redeem the Holy Land with the return of the Jewish people from the Holocaust. No when the "green thumb" of the Jews have now created a “garden land” producing fruits and vegetables for Europe and the world. Never-the-less, He has promised us that He will turn the Land of Israel into another Garden of Eden (Ezekiel 36).
The desertification of California’s prime farmland acreage is expected to double in the year of 2015. The crisis is now so great that the farmers are rapidly using up the water reservoirs of last resort in the aquifers thousands of feet into the ground below. The implications of this threat of water loss was well said by the farm manager at the La Jolla Farming in Delano, California, Jerry Schlitz:
Jerry Schlitz – “Last was damn near a disaster. La Jolla is a vineyard, a thousand - or- so acres of neat lines of grapevines in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. It depends on water from two sources: the federal Central Valley Projectand wells…now we have nothing but wells. Nothing. There’s no water other than what’s coming out of the ground. Last year, one of those wells at La Jolla dried up. The farm lost 260 acres – about a million dollars’ worth of produce, plus the wasted labor and other resources.”
The following graphic shows the U.S. Drought Monitormap for the State of California for each of the last five years in late March, 2015
Today, Lake Mead, as the worse drought in 1000 years continues to engulf the Western regions of the United States, and the water crisis continues to escalate, is now at the lowest water level seen since the Hoover Dam was completed in the 1930s. Now mandatory water restrictions have already been implemented statewide in California.
A decade ago, scientists did not dream or conceive a future mega-drought. Now they are talking about the worse drought in at least 1,200 years. This science has come from the collection and analysis of tree rings that date back to 800 CE. This was the era when the Royal Scythian Israelites who migrated into Scandinavia as settlers from the east and later invaded and marauded the regions of Northern Europe and the Chinese on the other side of the world. These were the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel who were fighting amongst each other.
According to the researchers, “there is no three-year period when California’s rainfall has been as low and its temperatures as hot as they have been from 2012 to 2014 and now into 2015, according to this recent research. A land that was once a desert is now turning back into a desert.
What was the American dream when America sprouted on the west coast when western North America became the wettest century in a 1,000 year appears to soon be like the Land of Israel that Mark Twain described in 1860 with these words”:
Mark Twain 1860 - “It is a hopeless, dreary, heartbroken land… Palestine is desolate and unlovely.”
So today, Lake Mead where the London Bridge now bridges the Colorado River at the Lake Havasu village has for decades been the playground for Californians. Yet as they played, the water level slowly continued to drop. Today it is now breaking new record water table lows at 38 percent capacity, according to the spokesman for the US Bureau of Reclamation in Las Vegas. “There is no three-year period when California’s rainfall has been as low and its temperatures as hot as they have been from the years of 2012-2014, according to the climate researchers.
With the summer in the future and the almost non-existent snow pack from last winter, official rationing will be implemented for Arizona and Nevada. Water rationing to Arizona and Nevada is now imminent. America’s sin-city in Las Vegas will be severely impacted and the vast desert gardens now cultivated in the Phoenix region of Arizona will soon dry up.
If America is worried about an economic crisis, the picture gets bigger. Under the High Plains to the east, the Ogallala Aquifer is also shrinking rapidly. During the last Great Depression in the 1930s, under the Dust Bowl region, they did not know about this great lake of underground water, and though recently discovered was also not tapped into.
Yet in the last few decades with the development of the large-scale center-pivot irrigation, the Post-World War II mega-agricultural crop production came into reality. Corn and alfalfa became staples for a meat consuming culture now threatens an entire cultural of ambience, leisure and ease. Days of judgment are now beginning to be perceived with a living reality.
The southern plains region is especially vulnerable for a “New Dust Bowl” crisis such as existed in 1930 and “water wars” may soon erupt as the water drawn from the Southern Ogallala Aquifer is unsustainably depleted. In the Northern Ogallala Aquifer in Nebraska the water is replenished by surface runoff from the Rocky Mountains. Yet in western Texas and New Mexico the waters of the Southern Ogallala Aquifer is now hundreds of feet below the surface of the ground and is not recharging and refilling with water.
Like the Nile River was to Egypt, so is the Colorado River to the Western part of the United States. The mighty river supplies the water to more than 40 million people living between Denver and Los Angeles that included the major cities of Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, and Santa Fe. None of these cities lie adjacent to the Colorado River but all of them are supplied by water from the Colorado River.
These metropolis as reported in a one recent study that provide jobs for 16 million people that also produce $1.4 trillion in annual income across the Westare dependent upon the Colorado River. In the meantime, with the loss of the Colorado waters the cities and farmers are now pumping out groundwater in unsustainable amounts which researchers have called “shocking” as the Colorado Basin has lost 15.6 cubic miles of subsurface freshwater.
This loss of water drawn from the underground reservoirs of the Southern Ogallala Aquifer are dramatically the health of the central American economy for the Texas Panhandle water levels have dropped over 15 feet in the past 20 years, and 75% of that has come from the current drought during the past five years.
According to Sandra Postel with a recent Kansas State University study sites the ominous fact that almost 70 percent of the Ogallala Aquifer will be used up in 50 years. If one is interested in food hyper-inflation, all the elements for such an American crisis are now running in full force.
Today she is the co-author of “The West without Water: What Past Floods, Droughts, and Other Climate Clues tell us about Tomorrow.”
Rapidly the reality is rising to the forefront that yearly the catastrophic changes are real and what may seem unbelievable to the populous living in an advanced culture. Yet, the G-d of Israel is rearranging and remodeling Planet Earth for the soon to come Kingdom of G-d on Planet Earth. To date, this climate remodeling affecting the State of California includes the following:
Direct costs to agriculture total $1.5 billion (revenue losses of $1 billion and $0.5 billion in additional pumping costs). This net revenue loss is about 3 percent of the state's total agricultural value.
The total statewide economic impact of the 2014 drought is $2.2 billion loss.
The loss of 17,100 seasonal and part-time jobs related to agriculture represents 3.8 percent of farm unemployment.
428,000 acres, or 5 percent, of irrigated cropland is going out of production in the Central Valley, Central Coast and Southern California because of the drought.
The Central Valley is hardest hit, particularly the Tulare Basin, with projected losses of $810 million, or 2.3 percent, in crop revenue; $203 million in dairy and livestock value; and $453 million in additional well-pumping costs.
In the study in BibleSearchers Reflections in 2006, titled, “The Pathways of Catastrophes towards Redemption”, we read about the prophetic insight of the late and revered Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri.
BibleSearchers Reflections – “One of the highlights of the prophecies of Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri shlit’a was his focus on the catastrophes and calamities that are surrounding this planet earth.The pronouncements by the centurion Rav Kaduri shlit’a concerning the global climate changes and the tectonic and catastrophic weather changes that have and will come with it will open the Jewish mind that literal changes are coming on this planet earth. Literal interpretations must be made to Jewish prophecies and plans must now be made.
The call to return to the land of Israel is now! It is not just because Abraham, Isaac or Jacob went to the land of Canaan but because the only place on this planet earth that the Lord of hosts has pronounced his blessings and protection is in the land of Israel. He has not made any promises to protect New York City, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth or Miami but He has promised his protective powers over Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.
While the Golden Internationale or the western globalists world powers are engulfed on the mission to neutralize the Mahdi inspired president of Iran and his bid to bring the nation of Iran as the potential contender to destroy the Nation of Israel by nuclear armaments, the finger of the Almighty One of Israel is preparing the minds of all mankind that He will dismantle this “old world” in the purpose of preparing this planet for the coming of the Messianic kingdom as prophesied by the Hebrew prophets of old.
As reported by the September 15, 2005 article in Israel National News which was recording the earlier article reported on December 30, 2004 titled, “Disaster, Redemption and the Tsunami”, it reported that two weeks before the Asia-Indian Ocean Tsunami hit, Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri made this prediction while quoted in the Ydiot Acharonot News:
Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri –"We are now in the fourth year of what could be the seven-year Redemption period, according to the calculation of the Vilna Gaon. [However.] In the coming three years, uncertainty about the future will hang over our heads, unless we work and strive that the Mashiach be revealed.
The Mashiach is already in Israel. Whatever people are sure will not happen, is liable to happen, and whatever we are certain will happen may disappoint us. But in the end, there will be peace throughout the world. The world is mitmatek mehadinim (or becoming sweet from strict justice).
Great tragedies in the world are foreseen, that's the thing of the Jews going to the East. But our enemies will not prevail over us in the Land of Israel, 'fear and trembling will fall upon them,' in the power of Torah."
According to Rabbi Kaduri, the taste of global catastrophes that the world has experienced this past year in the Asian Tsunami (2004) and the Hurricanes Katrina (2005), Rita (2005) and Wilma (2005) is only a foretaste of the future global catastrophes that await us.
Gush Katif >> Gulf Katrina
Many Christian Americans think that Hurricane Katrina was marginalized in the consciousness of the Jewish people but opposite has been true for Katrina came at the exact time that 10,000 Observant Jews in the Gaza Strip were stripped of their homes, farms, nurseries, synagogues in the largest expulsion of Jews since World War II but this time the catastrophe by the Eriv Rav, the “evil shepherds of Israel” who ruled the State of Israel.
On the greater continent of Eastern China, Typhoon Khanun battering East China the coastline and over 800,000 Chinese people were evacuated. A week later, Typhoon Talim left 97 dead, 16.2 million Chinese affected and 1.7 million people homeless. In also a record breaking year, 15 typhoons (Chinese term for hurricanes) pounded the coastline of China, disrupted life in Shanghai with $0.8 and 1.5 billion in damages occurred between Khanun and Talim alone.
Yet on the beautiful Danube in Eastern Europe, the mighty river became a “flooding destroyer.” The marauding water damages century’s old monasteries, castles and flooding the historic city of Lucerne in Switzerland.
Also in the same year, the country of Romania had two fatal floods (57 and 18 lives) that claimed 75 lives. The countries of Bosnia and Sarajevo are also trying to recover torrential rains that have flooded many districts.
As if the weather from the skies have not played havoc enough, the threat of earthquakes and volcanic activity has reached epic proportions. Recent scientific logs have documented that in the last 30 years the number and intensity of hurricanes and typhoons has increased 50-60%.
Yet we all get lost in the numbers of what we can see and perceive. The real threat to the continents lies not in what is destroyed on the surface of the planet but what is being altered and destroyed under the great oceans and the tectonic plates.
The newest scientific awareness are the aseismic earthquake, where a huge “bang” is heard and perceived but with no seismograph record. This is now recognized to be not a slippage of one fault against another, but that the tectonic plates are cracking under our feat.
Yet volcanic activity is continuously being reported with greater intensity under the oceans. Is this only due to greater surveillance technology? Possibly yes, but the scientific opinion is virtually universal, the tectonic activity and seismic volcanic activity has been increasing in spite of our greater technical observational skills.
What also is reported in increasing frequency are the sun spots, the increasing intensity of the solar activity even while the sun is in its 11 year trough of historical solar output and sunspot activity. Couple this with the progressive year after year solar blasts that have been hitting our planet earth and the increasing bolide or meteoric activity around the globe, the spectrum of major earth changes is just over the horizon.”
It was almost a decade ago in January, 2006 that BibleSearchers Reflections began seriously to document the crisis that were escalating around the world asking were these “Acts of G-d” or did the G-d of Israel give permission to the Dark Forces of Evil to begin the countdown to the final destruction of Planet Earth before the final Guela (Redemption) were to arrive. Here was the list of Earth Change as they were occurring in those days.
Catastrophic Earth Changes on this Planet Earth
The largest, costliest and most deadly hurricane season ever on record.
The hottest summer on multiple continents that may break all records in over a thousand years.
Tornados outbreaks killing hundreds in “diverse” places never seen before like: Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Canada.
Killer Floods and Mud Slides with millions in damages.
Killer Cold Waves, Blizzards across America and Russia
Snow falling in tropical zones never before recorded.
Global catastrophic earthquakes.
Epidemics of fires with aberrant “fire tornadoes” and racing “fire storms” jumping freeways.
Predictions of the North American Plate Cracking with Earthquake warnings for a mega-quake in the New Madrid Fault and “diverse” places along the Eastern Seaboard.
Increasing Earth’s tectonic plate pressures at reported “catastrophic proportions.”
Predictions for Catastrophic quakes along the San Andreas Fault in California plus quakes and volcanoes in Washington and Oregon.
Killer Tsunamis like the 2004 Sumatra, Indonesia quake and tsunami.
Eruptions of long dormant volcanoes occurring around the world.
Predictions for a mega-eruption for a Super-Volcano at Yellowstone National Park.
The Atlantic Gulf Stream and Ocean Conveyor Belts changing as the cold water engine failing by 75%, discovered recently by submarine exploration.
The astounding melting of the North Pole and the glaciered areas of Alaska, Canada and Siberia.
Antarctica glaciers melting in alarming pace, in unequal distribution and causing an unbalanced glacier cap on a fluid continental break with threats of a catastrophic collapse.
The North and South Magnetic Poles are now moving. Scientific speculation for a rare magnetic pole shift. The North Pole has moved beyond the northern reaches of Canada and heading towards Siberia.
Erratic Solar flares of mega-intensity during a time when the solar flares should be at a minimum.
Solar instability with strange proton storms of mega-proportions.
A repeated and recurrent mysterious and mammoth cosmic shockwave pounding our geomagnetic shield from an unknown source at the core of the universe.
The cosmic shockwaves are affecting all the planets in the solar system.
A “Quantum Anomaly” stalling over the Antarctica with marked decrease in seismic activity.
The Earth’s wobble has mysteriously ceased and then later reappeared.
Yet the Haunting Research in the secret2004 Secret Pentagon Report gravely reported in Destination Yisrael article, titled, gives us a more ominous story that includes:
Future wars will be fought over the issue of survival rather than religion, ideology or national honor.
Between 2010 and 2020 Europe will be hardest hit by climatic change with an average annual temperature drop of 6F. Climate in Britain will become colder and drier as weather patterns on the British Isles will begin to resemble Siberia.
Deaths from war and famine will run into the millions of people until our planet's population will be reduced by such an extent that the Earth can cope.
Riots and internal conflict will tear apart the Nations of India, South Africa and Indonesia.
Access to water becomes a major battleground. The Nile, Danube and Amazon were all mentioned as being high risk.
Rich areas like the US and Europe would become 'virtual fortresses' to prevent millions of migrants from entering after being forced from lands drowned by sea-level rise or no longer able to grow crops. Waves of boatpeople pose significant problems.
By 2010 the US and Europe would experience a third more days with peak temperatures above 90F. Climatic changes in the weather would become a global 'economic nuisance' as storms, droughts and hot spells created havoc for farmers and growing seasons.
Europe would be facing huge internal struggles as it coped with massive numbers of migrants washing up on its shores. Immigrants from Scandinavia would be seeking warmer climates to the south. Southern Europe would be beleaguered by refugees from hard-hit countries in Africa.
Mega-droughts will be affecting the world's major breadbaskets, including America's Midwest, Australia, Ukraine in Eastern Europe and Egypt.
China's huge population and their food demands would make this region particularly vulnerable.
Bangladesh will become nearly uninhabitable because of a rising sea level, which contaminated the inland water supplies.
As HaRav Nir Ben Artzi, shlita gave this warning to the Jewish people on March 12, 2011 as reported on Destination Yisrael article titled, “Earthquakes and Floods are G-d’s gift to Reunite ‘All Israel’; for the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel and the Jews are all Children of the Patriarch Israel”, we read:
HaRav Nir Ben Artzi, shlita - “The Master of the World is not stopping and will not stop until all the evil in the world will be annihilatedand until Melech HaMashiach (King Messiah) will be revealed at the height of his glory.
You need to be very careful on the highways in Eretz Yisrael (land of Israel). There will be problems with the ships and the planes. Strong storm winds, earthquakes and the severe floods will continue. The human eye cannot see what is going to pass upon the planet and upon the people, upon the animals and even upon the trees.
The Master of the World is going to annihilate all the evil in the world. Whoever believes - "Mi l'Hashem elai!" (Whoever is for HaShem should join with me!) Whoever does not believe - misses the train.
All the synagogues in the Land of Israel - increase your prayers to cancel the decrees and threats sent upon Am Yisrael (both Jews plus American and European Israelites). The strength of the rabbis in the Land is when they are united and unified they join together to protect each other. Then, there is no power in the world that is able to work against them joined in unity. They are the example for Am Yisrael (All Israel).
HKB"H (“The Holy One, Blessed is He”) is preparing a tribute to Mashiach Tzidkeinu (Righteous Messiah)and a foundation for all the Jews in the world that will arrive to Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) and that are arriving to Eretz Yisrael. Mashiach Tzidkeinu (Righteous Messiah) is present, working and doing, and soon in our days will be revealed. Shabbat Shalom!
Which lead us to this final comment of what will happen when Redemption is completed. According to the Drushey Olam HaTohi as revealed to us by Rabbi Elyashiv reveals is that Planet Earth comes from a High Source and as it came, it shall surely return to the Divine Source. As Rabbi Eliyashiv wrote:
Rabbi Elyashiv – “It is written in the Midrash, “And every New Moon, and every Shabbat , all mankind will come [literally] to bow before HaShem [in the Mikdash (Temple) in Jerusalem]’ (Isaiah 66.23] Can it be so?
How will all mankind come to Jerusalem every New Moon and every Shabbat? (Leshem, Drushey Olam HaTohu, Chelek Beit, 4:12:10, p. 116.) Rabbi Levi said:
Rabbi Levi - “In the future, Jerusalem will expand to the extreme borders of the land of Israel (Greater Israel) and the Land of Israel will expand to include the whole world.” (Leshem, Drushey Olam HaTohu, Chelek Beit, 4:12:10, p. 116.) (Pesikta Rabati Aleph, p. 2a)
Over the past few years, BibleSearchers Reflections and her allied blog site, Destination Yisra’el has reported on several of these exotic Earthquakes, Cyclones using Secret Weapons of Weather Modification:
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!”,

According to the Prophet Zechariah, there will come a day when the world will be watching with great anticipation and awe as a prophetic stream of catastrophes will envelope the Middle East and the Land of Israel.
This will be the answer of the “long-arm of HaShem to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel in Europe and the White House and the State Department in America that He is uncloaking Himself preparing to say, “No” to the “Two States” solution and the yearnings of the “Lost Tribe” Europe for a Palestinian State.
This will only happen as the L-rd of Hosts uncloaks himself as He prepares to literally redesign the Middle East. As the sages of Israel have foretold, Jerusalem, the capital of “Greater Israel” will be enlarged to cover the whole Middle East and the Land of Israel will be enlarged to cover the whole earth.
Zechariah 9:1-8 - “The prophesy of the word of HaShem for the land of Hadrach, with Damascus its resting place: ‘Towards HaShem (Almighty One of Israel) will be the eyes of mankind, and all the tribes of Israel (12-tribed Israel). Also Hamath will be in its borders, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though she is very wise…Behold, the L-rd will impoverish her, and He will strike her wealth with the sea, (Mediterranean Sea tsunami) and it will be consumed by fire.
Ashkelon will see this and fear, and Gaza [will see] and tremble greatly, and Ekron, for the one to whom she looked [for protection] has been humiliated. A king will perish from Gaza and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
I will eliminate the pride of the Philistines (Palestinian people). I will remove his blood from his mouth and his abominations (oaths of genocide against the Jewish people) from between his teeth, and then he, (the Palestinian people) will remain for our G-d…
I (Holy One of Israel) will encamp at My home (to protect it) against any army and from any (enemy) who comes and goes, and an oppressor will never again pass through them; for now I have seen (their suffering like G-d did in Egypt) with My eyes."
On Passover, April 4, the whole world of Jewry watched with anticipation as the 3rd of the prophetic 4 Blood Moon tetrad casts its red tinged shadow upon Planet Earth for 4 minutes and 44 seconds on April 4, 2015 (4/4/15) Its purpose was to awaken the spiritual consciousness of millions of Jews in Israel and the Diaspora, plus the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
Here we begin to perceive that HaShem, the G-d of Israel is uncloaking his hiddenness. The revelation of Melekh HaMaschiach (King Messiah) will soon be revealed by the Almighty One of Israel. The new spiritual reality also cloaks within its self the searing images of the ancient prophet of Israel who 2,700 years ago wrote:
Joel 3:2 – “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the L-rd come.”
In a news alert with Breaking News Alert Israel, Rabbi Amram Vaknin’s student, Gil Nachman, quoted his rabbinic master when he called upon all Jews in Israel to begin praying with heartfelt repentance as the third Blood Moon in the tetrad cycle cast its shadowed face upon earth.
Even before Obama was elected to the Oval Office, Rabbi Vaknin had already predicted that the 44th president of the United States would bring bloodshed (dam) to the Jewish people. It was the spiritual insight of this holy one of Israel that “only 44 plus one” or the number of 45 could counter the dark spiritual forces that were represented by the Blood Moons.
In this reference, the first man, Adam, called “Man” is preceded by the “aleph” of the mystical number of “1” and now becomes “Adam” which in the ultimate and final prophetic cycle refers to “Melekh HaMaschiach” or “King Messiah.”
As the Mystic Rabbi who lived in Southern Israel stated through the mouth of his student spokesperson, Gil Nachman, Rabbi Vaknin urged all the Jews in Israel to repent and vow with renewed “emuna” their faith in the Sovereignty of G-d. This happened at the “Western Wall” as the third of the last 4Blood Moons in the Tetrad cycle casts its shadows of omens over the 6 million Jews in Israel plus the 6 million Jews living in the Diaspora of America.
It was Rabbi Vaknin who predicted that the 44th president would bring bloodshed (dam) to the Jewish people. It should be noted that the rabbi made this prediction before President Barack Obama was elected to the Oval Office. It was also Rabbi Vaknin who also believed that 44 plus “one”, or the number 45 can counter the danger represented by the blood moons. This, he says, is Adam, or Man, which in this case refers to the Messiah.
Not only that, the numerical value of the Hebrew word for blood, dam, is 44, and we can truly perceive that the 44th president of the United States of America carries the mantle of the “Oppressor of Israel”. Not only that the biblical use of number four is numerous in scripture starting with 4 being the number of creation for on the 4th day not only Planet Earth but the entire universe was created.
Four is also the symbolic number of completeness for on the fourth day of creation all the materials for the creation of earth were created. Yet there are numerous other uses of the number four in the bible especially with its significance to Planet Earth and the symbolism of earthly completeness. These include:
Four is the number of the great elements: earth, air, fire, and water.
There are four regions or directions: north, south, east, and west. - “Four Corners of the Earth”.
There are four seasons of the year: fall, winter, spring, and summer.
There are four phases of the moon: first, half, full, and last.
There are four divisions of the day: morning, noon, evening, and night.
The Bible also has ten references to the Four Winds.
The Four Angels hold back the “Four Winds of Strife”
The Four Rivers of Eden
Gil Nachman, also reminded the listeners of the world, Jews and Lost Tribers alike, that it was the Mystical Sage who correctly predicted the timing of the following world events that sought to harm the State of Israel. These included the following evens:
Gaza Flotilla in 2010

Operation Protective Edge in 2014.
He did not have to wait long for within days, President Barack Obama announced to the world the Nuclear Agreement with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Iran on April 4, (4/4/15), the day of the Jewish Pesach (Passover), had been reached with the United States and the European nations.
This Blood Moon is not the only future harbinger that portrays potential danger to the Jewish people in the Diaspora and the Land of Israel. It also portrays danger to the Land of Israel who is in the future prophetically expected to face danger and great judgment when all the nations of the world will turn against Israel.
Yet, the Passover 4/4/2015 Blood Moon also portends to open a new window on how G-d foretells prophetic events when the hand of the Divine placed the stars, constellations, universes during the 1st “4 days of Creation”. Then the Divine Order was purposely written with His Great Name in the heavens.
This universal hierarchy rose like a ladder from mantle of the 1st heaven surrounding Planet Earth to the 7th Heaven where the Throne of the G-d of Israel, Ain Sof rules over all the universes in the cosmos. With His protective hand the One G-d of Israel continues to shield His chosen people; “12-Tribed Israel” as they prepare to alert all mankind that this era of mankind is about to come to its climatic end.
This Blood Moon that crossed over the Land of Israel in the 1st heaven was quickly recognized as a “Sign of the Times”. It was viewed by millions of people at the end of the Jewish Shabbat on the 4th day of the 4th month in the year of 2015.
If there was any question as to whether this Blood Moon was a harbinger of blood (dam), against the Jewish people, the portents were quickly answered. In the shadowy portrayal of the Blood Moon in the heavens came to a shocking revelation within hours when the 44th president of the United States announced to the international world on the eve of the 4th day of the 4th month of April that America and Iran were prepared to sign a nuclear agreement. It would allow Nuclear Iran to continue developing nuclear fuel while at the same time the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continued to threaten genocide and annihilation to the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
It came also after an emergency Cabinet meeting on Friday afternoon just hours before the Jewish holiday of Pesach would begin that Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu not only demanded that any deal made with the Iranians must include the recognition of “Israel’s Right to Exist”. This demand came on the heels of his internationally renowned speech to the Congress of the United States that was met with over 25 standing ovations.
Now was the time that Netanyahu warned that signing any such accord would risk the onset of a “horrific war” that was not just aimed towards Israel whom Iran calls the “Little Satan” but also Europe, one of the largest host regions of the world for the “Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel” and especially towards the United States, whom Iran calls the “Greater Satan”.
As Netanyahu affirmed with the greatest of emphasis:
Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu – “I want to make clear to all: The survival of Israel is non-negotiable. Israel will not accept an agreement which allows a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons, period. Just two days ago, Iran said that ‘the destruction of Israel is non-negotiable.’ And in these fateful days Iran is accelerating the arming of its terror proxies to attack Israel… This deal would legitimize Iran's nuclear program, bolster Iran's economy and increase Iran's aggression and terror throughout the Middle East and beyond.”
This then reopens the enigmatic prophecy of Daniel 8 with the “The Confrontation of Nuclear Iran by Daniel’s Greco-Roman He-Goat”, whose global power is buttressed by two great horns of Russia and China now has an agreement to continue is nuclear enrichment program as predicted what would happen when the future fulfillment of the rabbinic sages is fully revealed.
It was on January 5, 2015 that the midpoint of this Blood Moon Tetrad was reached. This time it was not a Blood Moon but a “Dark Day”. Now as we peer into the future we shall wait and see how the mighty Hand of HaShem orchestrates the final end of this era of mankind. This Countdown had already begun in 2014 and will end during the Jewish festivals in the fall of 2015.

We must then begin to realize the fullness of this prophetic era, for we are currently in the 7th Shemittah year of the Sabbatical Week of Years before the anticipated final Jubilee begins, waiting with anticipation that this potentially is “Last Jubilee” before the prophetic “Era of the Messiah” begins in the year of 2017 as prophesied in the 1217 CE prophecy by the famed Rabbi Judah ben Samuel written about in the Destination Yisrael article titled, “Rabbi Judah ben Samuel’s Jubilee Prophecy gives the Year of the Messiah.”
Looking at the NASA Blood Moon archives over the millenniums, the spectacular occlusion of the moon by the earth between the sun has occurred only 7 times in past history since the year of 3000 BCE.
What is even more amazing is the fact that this tetrad of lunar eclipses has fallen exactly on the feast days of Israel twice in the past 500 years. This has not occurred just in sequence with each other but on epic years in relationship with the creation of the Jewish State of Israel in the years of 1949/50 and the redemption of the city of Jerusalem back into the hands of the Jewish people during the 6-day war in the years of 1967/1968.
This redemption of Jerusalem did not come in times of peace but during times when Israel was attacked by hostile forces and Jerusalem came back miraculously into the hands of the Jewish possession that had already been promised to them by the Almighty One of Israel. At the same time, we are reminded of the prophecy of Rabbi Yochanan ben Zaccai of Yavnah who wrote the following prophecy just after the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple in 70 CE. This prophecy can be found in the Talmud, Sanhedrin 97a:
Then as we complete the Prophecy of Rabbi Judah ben Zaccai of Yavneh of the last Seven Years before the Era of the Messiah will begin, we read these words starting with Rosh HaShanah 2008:
In the seventh year (2015 Jewish year 5774, starting with Rosh Hashanah 2014), there may be war (Parsi-Persian with Russia and China against Edom (NATO Rome Europe and American) in a World War III between the Occidental world and the Oriental.
In the eighth year, the Jubilee Year (2016, starting with Rosh Hashanah 2015 when all debt in the world will be absolved and then all Nations of the world will turn against Israel; GogUMogog War.
If the alignment of all of these “Coincidences” reflected as the “Signs of the Times”, do we not have enough evidence to begin packing our bags and reminding ourselves that the days the Messiah are here and the redemption of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel is past due?
Then it is time, as Rabbi Amram Vaknin urged the Jewish people in Israel to repent at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Pesach 2015, and open our hearts of faith atoning for our rebellious forefathers of the Lost Tribes of Israel with the full belief that the One G-d of Israel is powerful enough to redeem even us, the Lost 10 Tribes (Ezekiel 36) back into restoration with “12-Tribed Klal Yisrael (One Israel)” (Ezekiel 37)
With all the prophetic signs swirling around our lives, let us consider one more interesting “prophetic sign” aligned during the creation of the universes when the recent Solar Eclipse that occurred on January 5, 2015, at the very midst of this Blood Moon Tetrad.
This was a unique event in Solar eclipse history, for only once in 5000 years since Planet Earth’s creation 5777 years ago, suggests a Divine intent in the symmetry of all the dates of solar and lunar eclipses. It is claimed that now is the time for the salvation of all people by HaShem’s Messiah to reclaim all those that have been “lost” and now with Eliyahu the Prophet be revealed as to their true tribal identity.
They then will be welcomed home by the most august of all the angelic beings; the “Angel before the Divine Presence” created in the Atzilut, the first of the Four Universes of the Divine. Here we will meet Melekh HaMaschiach (King Messiah) who will rule the universes of the Ain Sof (One G-d of Israel) from the Kingdom of G-d on Planet Earth during an era where our Neshama Soul will be reunited with our “Neshama of our Neshama Soul” by the Eternal One and we shall be one with Him.

Awaken, O House of Israel, your days are numbered for the Yemot HaMaschiah (The Days of the Messiah) are now upon us. HaShem, the G-d of Israel wants you to be prepared for your reclamation, redemption and restoration back into oneness and fellowship with the Jews of the House of Judah. It’s time to prepare for your return home to your aliyah (return to Israel), for the “disputed lands of Shomron in Samaria” include your tribal homelands.
Let us not forget that the G-d of Israel is purposefully bringing the forces of evil for the whole world to behold and to understand its catastrophic affect upon all mankind. Only then will we be able to choose goodness over evil. If you are interested in connecting to your Lost Israelite roots, Destination Yisra’el is inviting you to support the Kol Ha Tor Vision,

Destination Yisrael - “We are at the End of Olam HaZeh (Present Era between Adam and Maschiach); the very End.” So states one of Israel’s most read blog sites, “End of Days” written by Maggid Dov Bar-Leib.
In the post-Purim Netanyahu legacy speech on “Esther and Haman” speech at the United States Congress of the United States, we now must now ponder and observe the boiling international cauldron as almost all American Military and Intelligence Agencies are predicting that we will be at war within 6 months.
To even consider that we must wait for another 225 years until the prophetic “6,000 year Era of Mankind” appears to be suicidal. Even if we, with all our emuna, “faith in the Sovereign Power of the Divine” or a giant in the world of teshuvah, “repentance”, we would have to agree that when it is all over, only a “remnant” will remain to await the glorious kingdom of the future Mashiach ben Dovid (Messiah son of David). As Dov Bar-Leib has stated in the past, we may all be living in a Succot, the temporary huts the ancient Israelites and Jews today lived for several days at the Festival of Succot for all of our homes, maybe in Israel but definitely around the world could be destroyed in the global catastrophes predicted by all the prophets in the TaNaKh.
The Hebrew prophetic traditions in the TaNaKh are also collaborated by the prophetic traditions of the Orthodox Haredi Jewish Nazarenes, preserved in the Essene-Nazorean book called “The Revelation”. This is predicated upon three historical facts. (1) The Nazarene prophecies came from Orthodox Jewish sources and the foundational source lies with the Essenes in Qumran, and (2) “The Book of Enoch” discovered in the caves near the Dead Sea near to the village called Qumran, more manuscript fragments from the “Book of Enoch” were discovered and preserved than any other Hebrew sefer (book) in the TaNaKh.
This suggests that the Book of Enoch was revered as scriptural to the Essenes in Qumran. Also, (3) there were more than 150 “unique phrases” coined in the Book of Enoch that were also used textually in the “Book of Revelation”. But none of these phrases were found in any other Jewish literature or within any of the book canonized in the TaNaKh (Old Testament).
So we ask, will the Maschiach (Messiah son of David) be revealed during the 8th Year (50th year) of the Sabbatical Week of Years or will the Maschiach be revealed during the 49th year called the Motzei Shmittah Year;called the Yovel, the year of Jubilee?
Is not the 8thMotzei Shmittah Year called the Yovel (Jubilee Year) when the Messiah (Maschiach) is revealed in the 50th year? This process of revealing, called the “Era of the Messiah”, is expected to occur after the Seven-Sabbatical Week of Years (49 years) and after the 7thShmittah Year. As such in the 8th year, the Maschiach could be revealed? Not so states Maggid Dov Bar Leib, in the article titled, “When Shiloh Comes.”
Maggid Dov Bar Leib – “Notice from the chart, Ezra HaSofer (Ezra the Scribe) reset the Sabbatical (7 year Sabbatical Week of Years) and the Yovel (Jubilee) cycles from the beginning.
During the 2nd Temple period in accordance with the Rambam's view, the Yovel year was the 15th and the 65th year of every Jewish Century. There were eight of these Yovel years where the 50th year itself was a unique year that was NOT the first year of the next Shmittah and/or Yovel cycle.
Since the 2nd Temple was destroyed after standing for 420 years, there was no ninth Yovel year during the 2nd Temple period. Instead after the Churban of Bayit Sheini (the destruction of the Second Temple, the 50th year or potential Yovel year became the first year of the next Shmittah and Yovel cycle.
The year 5678 (1917) and the year 5727 (1967) were both potential Yovel years which partially realized their potential of returning the land of Israel to its Jewish inhabitants and of returning the Jews to their ancestral heritage in the Land. (Parashat Behar, Lev. 25:10).”
What we see is that after the Destruction of the Temple of Herod in 68-70 CE, the 8th year after the seven consecutive 7-Year Sabbatical Week of Years, the 50th year became the Yovel or Jubilee year. Yet this was not always the standard for the calculation of the Year of the Jubilee. As Dov Bar Leib continues:
Maggid Dov Bar Leib – “You see, 5678 (started in the year of 1917 at Rosh Hashanah) was the year of the Balfour Declaration (The Balfour Declaration, dated 2 November 1917 was a letter from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild), who was a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland).and the capture of Yerushalayim from the Turks by the First Gog (PM David “Lloyd Gog”) of Great Britain during the First World War. Both events in the waning months of 1917 after Rosh Hashanah, of course, set the stage for a large scale return of Jews to their ancestral inheritance.
At the end of WW1, the population of Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) included about 100,000 Jews. By the fall of 1947 and the Partition Plan, there were 600,000 Jews in Eretz Yisrael.
PM D. “Lloyd Gog” was a remarkably decent man, a good Gog of sorts, so good that he has a street named after him off Emeq Refa'im Road in the German Colony neighborhood of Yerushalayim where there are several streets named after remarkable righteous gentiles who assisted in the process of returning us to our ancient inheritance.
Notice from the Yovel chart, the year 5678 (1918) was the potential Yovel year at the end of the 46th Yovel cycle which became in actuality the first year of the 47th Yovel cycle.”
General Allenby successfully redeemed and restored the city of Jerusalem from the clutches of 400 years of occupation by the Islamic Empire of the Ottoman Turks. Little did Allenby know that he was walking in the pathways of the Ikvot Meshicha, called the “footsteps of the Messiah” or the “Messiah’s heels”, that literally mean the roundabout pathway of Divine Providence that will lead all of us to our potential redemption with the revealing of Emeq ha Maschiach or “King Messiah.”
The next 49 years (7 Sabbatical Week of Years) from the Jewish year of 5678 (1917), which began in 1917, to the Jewish year of 5727 (in 1967), the Yovel year reached its “Jubilee” potential. In the aftermath of the 6-Day War against the Islamic nations of Egypt, Syria and Jordan, which literally thrust the Jews and Jerusalem into the prophetic limelight, the city of Jerusalem came into the possession of the Jewish people for the first time in two thousand years.
From the brilliant success of the 1967 Arab-Israel War that resulted in the Jewish possession of Jerusalem and freedom for the Jewish people we now know that they correlated three times with the 1217 Prophesy of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel, “Rabbi Judah ben Samuel’s Jubilee Prophecy gives the Year of the Messiah”.
It was 300 years after Rabbi Judah ben Samuel’s death in 1217, a Jubilee year of his era that began the first year of the Ottoman’s 400 year occupation of the Land of Israel in the year of 517 CE (or 8 Jubilees). After the Ottoman Imperial defeat by the British in 1217, the Ottoman Empire collapsed and is now a notation of history.
Fifty years later in the year of 1967, another Yovel (Jubilee) Year, the 6-day War with the Arab nations erupted when Egypt, Syria and Jordan erupted. The State of Israel was victorious on June 10, 1967, in the Jubilee year of 5727 (1967).
Now 50 years later in the Jewish year of 5777 (2017), we will once again consider that this will this be the “real year of the Jubilee” that will cascade around the world and this time lead us to the final redemption of the Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel? Not so states Dov Bar Leib, it might come earlier!
Maggid Dov Bar Leib – “The Yovel (Jubilee year) is a 49 year cycle for Rosh HaShanah 2015 began the 49th year of the 48thYovel(Jubilee) cycle in the Jewish Year 5776. The Jewish year of 5776 will be the Jubilee year when Yovel (Jubilee year) will begin upon its end on Rosh Hashanah 2016. Upon the entry of the Yovel Year of the Jubilee on Rosh Hashanah 2016, will the Year of the 50th Jubilee make its debut as the Era of the Messiah begins? After that, forty nine years later, in the Jewish year of 5776 that began on September 2015, the 48thYovel or Jubilee Year cycle, will make its debut. Notice from the Yovel chart, the year 5678 (1917) was the potential Yovel year at the end of the 46th Yovel cycle which became in actuality the first year of the 47th Yovel cycle.
So we began to traverse through the next 49 years to 5727 (1967) which turned out to be a potential Yovel year which partially realized its potential during the 6 Day War but turned into the first year of the 48th Yovel cycle whose 49th year is this very year 5775. This makes 5776 (Jewish year of 5776) the next potential Motzei Shmittah (50th year) and Yovel (Jubilee) year.
But let us reflect on what else happened during this time period. What remarkable changes or degradations took place in Malkhut Edom (the kingdom of Edom in Western Europe) during this 98 year period? The most remarkable change of spiritual deterioration was in the sexual mores of the civilization. Until WW1, women would go to the beach wearing long dresses as they went swimming in the ocean. The women's bicycle was designed so that ladies did not have to lift up their legs at 90 degree angles to get their leg over the center bar. To this very day, women's bikes are designed so that "Victorian" women could politely and modestly mount up on their bikes.
After WW1 that all changed. The flappers of the Roaring 20s tested the norms of what was acceptable to the very limits of the time which were far more restrictive than what those limits were 49 years later in 1967 during the Summer of Love with public sex in the public parks. Betty Grable's bathing suit from WW2 was already by several light years more shocking than what was acceptable in 1910 for instance.
But 50, 60, and 70 years later we have already pushed the envelope into the abyss. The best way to look at this moral disintegration is to look at it taking place over 49 year time spans through the 47th and the 48th Yovel cycles until this very year 5775.
In the 47th Yovel cycle, the fringe third of society was attracted to pushing the envelope where 2/3rd of Americans at least refused to debase themselves. So from 1918 thru the winter of 1967 while America remained a majority clean society, for instance, one third of Americans were already pushing the envelope to its extremes. As the line goes from “No No Nanette”, a musical about the Roaring 20s, to “Before I go to Heaven, I want to raise a little hell.”
In the memoires of Maggid Dov Bar Leib, he reminisces the time when the famous Jewish sage, Chafetz Chaim was asked about the year 1918. The person queried him with a question about someone whose father was a tzaddik, but his son was a Jewish Bolshevick Russian.
He asked this revered sage, “How can this be if the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” The Chafetz Chaim responded to the man that after the Jewish year of 5678 (1917) and continuing on into the future to this day, a “spiritual hurricane has been blowing in the world blowing apples far, far from their righteous origins. From 1918 onwards we can no longer expect those apples to fall calmly to the ground as they had for all the centuries leading up until this time.”
Maggid Dov Bar Lieb – “And so those 49 years passed as 1/3rd of Mankind perverted themselves below Mem Tet Sha'arei tumah (the 49th level of degradation and impurity that is below the level of morality that can be salvaged and raised up to a higher level of spiritual elevation). This leaves 2/3rd of Mankind with furrowed brows watching the world crumble morally beneath their feet.
Then the Motzei Shmittah year (the Yovel Jubilee year) when 5727 hit, and the Summer of Love of 1967 began to take down the middle third of America and through America the rest of Mankind on another 49 year plunge until the present day where it is no longer an issue of public acts of promiscuity in city parks, but public acts of LGBT lovemaking along with the marriage contracts to recognize these abominations. So the middle third is now about to plummet through the 49th floor by the end of this summer of 5775 (2015) as we crash into the beginning of the 49th Yovel cycle since Ezra HaSofer (Ezra the Scribe) in 5776.”
As I read through this, I ponder, G-d forbid that we have to go through another 50 year Yovel cycle before the Era of the Messiah will potentially begin again? We have studied in the past about the hastening of the revealing of King Messiah called Ahishena, and the probability of the complete annihilation of many sectors of our globe in world conflagrations. All will be destroyed if we wait another Yovel (Jubilee) cycle much less than another 225 years until the “Era of Mankind” will literally be over in the 6,000th year. Are you concerned about such a reality? Do you even believe the words of the prophets? Dov Bar Leib pondered these thoughts:
Maggid Dob Bar Leib – “One might think that we have one more 49 year cycle left to debase the final third of humanity as we approach the 50th Yovel cycle so that there is no one left to be redeemed at the very End, but alas Zecharia haNavi, (Prophet Zechariah) chapter 13, tells us in explicit terms:
Zecharia haNavi (Zechariah the prophet) – “There will be in all the earth, says the L-rd, that two portions of the (earth's) population will be cut off and will perish, and the remaining 1/3 will be left of it. I will purify that third with fire and purify it as one purifies silver, and I will refine it as one refines gold. (And that one third) will call out in My Name, and I will answer it. I have said, “These are my people, and they will say that HaShem is my G-d.”
So alas we are not about to embark on another 49 year plunge from which no one will be redeemed. In 5775 we are at the very end of history, the very end of Mankind's ability to pervert himself in various ways so that the planet stinks with his rot. The Good L-rd won't permit this to go on further.”
On the day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke before the Congress of the United States, March 3, 2015, DEBKA Weekly revealed one potential scenario that would have given Netanyahu’s speech a living reality. As DEBKA files wrote:
DEBKAfiles Weekly – “One potential scenario that, given Israel’s small size, would call for no more than one nuke to destroy its heartland and inflict at least an estimated million casualties. This nuclear bomb or device would be dropped from an IranAir civilian airliner on a regular run from Larnaca over the Mediterranean about 100 km from the Israeli coast.
After the plane disappeared, the delayed action mechanism would detonate the bomb and set off a tsunami. Giant waves would swamp the densely populated Tel Aviv conurbation and its satellites. This 1,500 square kilometer area is home to some 3.7 million people, nearly half of the country’s entire population, its military and banking centers, hi-tech industry and the stock exchange. The cost in lives would be cataclysmic – at least a million dead.”
So the evil incarnated into the populous on Planet Earth where righteousness is being extinguished from the populations of the world, the final days of world as they seek to destroy Israel begins. As Maggid Dov Bar Leib continues:
Maggid Dov Bar Leib – “So the rotting 2/3rd will now clamor to divide Yerushalayim and establish Palestine in the process, and they will be duly punished. Think of 5776 (2016) as not only the beginning of the 49th or Malkhut that is in Malkhut Yovel cycle, but think of it as the Gateway to the 50th, the Sha'ar Nun, where Mashiach ben David awaits. How to get from here to there through the last 7 months of Olam HaZeh (the 5777 years since the creation of Adam) is the problem, and the roller coaster is about to begin. Alas Bibi is going before the US Congress on a date which he himself chose, Ta'anit Esther, to plead for the case of the Jews that a man like Haman in Persia wants to wipe us off the face of the planet. In so many ways, he himself has debased us all. He chose Tzippy Livni, the Witch of EinDor, to administer justice for Klal Yisrael over the two years of the 33rd Israeli Govt. since the founding of the Erev Rav (mixed multitude) Republic.
During his most recent tenure, the Ba'al Kerry over a period of nine months made us release 3 x 26 Arab murderers from our jails to appease Mankind's desire to prove our guilt by calling those murderers freedom fighters with a vicious craving for innocent Jewish blood. What we were not privy to at the time was that the letters of HaShem's Name were being assembled with each prisoner release. The third such release was less than one week before the 2nd of Shevat 5774 (Jan 3rd, 2014) the 72nd anniversary of the Wannsee Conference which decreed the death of every Jew on the face of the planet.
The entire world was in agreement with this as was shown about two months later on Zayin Adar 5702 when a ship called the Struma with 7 or 8 hundred Jewish refugees from the Holocaust was sunk in the Black Sea by a Russian submarine while the world simply watched and could care less.”
The Shoah is the 7th Destruction of the Holy Temple
The spiritual way to look at this is that the Shoah was the 7th Churban of Malkhut Edom (7th destruction of the Holy Temple) which started with the destruction of the 2nd Temple (King Herod’s Temple in 70 CE).
The First Churban was the destruction of the 2nd House until the end of the Bar Kochba revolt 65 years later (135 CE) plus another 5 years of chasing tzaddikim around Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel” to hunt them down for a total of 70 years, the Ayin in Esav's name
Then there were 6 x 300 years cycles (6 Churbanot or 5 destructions) where the princes of Germany and the saints of the Roman Catholic Church formed a daily alliance, one prince of Germany + one prince of Rome per day for a total of 300 years per alliance. This was repeated 6 times for a total of 1800 years to correspond with 6 Churbanot (6 destructions) so that we would be chased in a total of 7 different directions.
The Shoah (Holocaust) began at the very end of that 1800 year epic in 5699 (1938), 1799 years after the year 140 when all ten sages that were murdered for the purification of Malkhut had been summarily executed (including Rav Akiva et. al). So the Shoah (Holocaust) was the end of the Galut (Jewish exile from the land of Israel their homeland), the smack of Esav's angel on Ya'akov's thigh vein at the Alot HaShachar (rise of the morning star), the break of dawn at 72 minutes before sunrise.
So 72 years later right on cue, the Vav in HaShem's Name was attached to the Yud and the Key in HaShem's Name right on cue with the 3rd and final prisoner release. The Fourth release of 26 murderers never occurred because the purpose of these releases had achieve its goal: to make the Guela b'Rachamim; the Final Redemption through Mercy. We see it in the Torah itself.
The place where Ya'akov wrestled with an angel was originally called Peni'el, but after 72 minutes G-d Himself renames it Penu'el changing the Yud to a Vav to tell us that if we make it until sunrise after the 7th Churban when the Vav can be attached to HaShem's Name, the redemption will be b'Rachamim (redemption with compassion).
And so we arrive at Adar 5775. We are told that before Ben David shows up in Tishrei (Rosh Hashanah, September 15, 2015) of a Motzei Shmittah Yovel Jubilee year several cryptic events will occur. The Torah tells us about one of them in Bereishit:
The scepter (of kingship) shall not depart from Yehudah, nor the one who is Chokek (Mechoquekwho engraves laws in stone) until Shilo Messiah) comes and to him will be a gathering of peoples.So there are two possibilities here.
Shilo might be Mashiach ben David, and many amongst our sages agree with that view, but there is another view that Shilo is a separate individual who comes just before the advent of Mashiach making Mashiach ben David's role possible because this Shilo triggers an epic series of events. In short "to him" can either be Shilo as Mashiach ben David, or Shilo is a precursor who comes as a gift to Mashiach ben David. For Shilo can be read as Shai lo, a “precious gift to him”.”
So why does Mashiach ben David deserve a precious gift? Because of Yehudah's (Judah’s) great act of teshuvah (repentance) for the selling of his brother Yosef (Joseph) into slavery. In so many ways kidnapping a brother and selling him as a slave is an act that deserves the death penalty. After this horrible episode, Yehudah falls away from his brothers, sensing that he no longer had the right to lead them because of his act of ignominy.”
The Patriarchs Judah and Joseph and the Case of Benjamin
And so Maggid Dov Bar Leib sets his case in the ancient days when Judah had to achieve a life of repentance for selling his brother, Joseph, into slavery. Later Judah became the Guardian and guarantor for Benjamin’s safety when the 11 brothers had to go back to the land of Egypt for more food. There Judah offered himself to replace Benjamin when the Vizier of the Pharaoh’s silver chalice was found in Benjamin’s sack. Maggid Dov Bar Leib continues this portrayal of this epic drama:
Maggid Dov Bar Leib – “After years and years of bearing children including the children of Tamar, he comes back to the holy family of Yisrael and wants to repent of what he did so many years earlier. The brothers go down to Mitzraim to buy food from the 2nd to Pharaoh and he makes a request that in order to get Shimon out of jail, whom he had summarily arrested, the brothers have to bring Binyamin, the only full blooded brother to Yosef, to see if they were honest men by claiming that they had another brother whom they left behind.
Reuven pleads his case that he would watch over Yosef to no avail by offering Ya'akov to kill his two sons. Ya'akov saw through that and logically reasoned about why would he want to murder his grandchildren to avenge the blood of Binyamin?
Ya'akov would not allow Binyamin to descend with Reuven into certain slavery or death. But when Yehudah offers to be an areiv, a guarantor, of Binyamin's safety that he himself would go into slavery to see to it that Binyamin would return to his father, Ya'akov relents and allows Binyamin to descend.
Then the silver chalice of the 2nd to Pharaoh ends up in Binyamin's sack, and Binyamin is about to become a slave to the man standing before them. At that point Yehudah pleads his case and begs the man to let Binyamin go free as he Yehudah offers to become the man's slave just as he promised his father.
And then Yosef reveals himself in one of the most dramatic climaxes in all of Scripture. "I am Yosef, Does my father yet live?" After explaining himself in a moving speech about Divine Providence to his brothers, he hugs and weeps on the neck of Binyamin his full blood brother.
So this is what G-d has in mind. Yehudah was the areiv (guardian and guarantor) of Binyamin to secure his safety in Mitzraim (‘Egypt) is the greatest act of teshuvah in all of recorded history.”
Yet, this epic play as one of the major acts in the “Drama of the Ages”, according to Maggid Dov Bar Leib, is being replayed at this august time in earth’s history just before the Jubilee and redemption of Klal Yisrael (All Israel, the Jews of the House of Judah and the Lost Tribes of 10- Israel of the House of Israel). At the Festival of Purim called the “Fast of Esther” the modern Judah the Jew, who is the guardian and guarantor of the State of Israel chose to appeal to the greatest Parliament, the Congress of the United States as Judah appealed for the safety of his brother Benjamin to the Vizier of the Pharaoh of Egypt by offering his life for slavery instead of Benjamin. As Maggid Dov Bar Leib continues:
Maggid Dov Bar Leib – “HaShem recognizes the great and mighty act of teshuvah that Yehudah did. So HaShem told Yehudah, just as you through your deed of perfect penitence brought Binyamin to Mitzraim (Egypt) to be a gift to your brother Yosef, so at the very end of Olam HaZeh (the era between Adam and the redemption of Israel), I HaShem (Yud Key Vav or Yahu) will give (Natan) Binyamin as a precious gift to the one whose kingdom is about to be over a gathering of peoples or Binyamin NatanYahu.
So given his history of releasing murderers and hiring an Erev Rav hack to be his Minister of Justice, how could he rise to the occasion? Well, the Talmud tells us, “We won't do teshuvah (repentance) until HaShem places over us the threat of extermination by someone as wicked as Haman” So THIS is what is at stake. Bibi for all of his real-politick faithless calculations has come to the conclusion that on the issue of Persia, all of his real-politick machinations have to be thrown out the window.
HE HAS NO CHOICE but to place the entire matter in G-d's hands. So Netanyahu chose Ta'anit (Fast of) Esther to appeal before the Republicans in the US Congress which in and of itself is a futile act because it is the menuval US President that is about to sign a horrible deal with the Persian mullahs.
The Senate can advise and consent, but unless it is a real treaty, there is little that they can do to stop Obama the Snake as he brings the mighty American Republic below Mem Tet Sha'arei Tumah, the 49th Level of Tuma or Degradation in this Shmittah year. But by speaking before Congress on Ta'anit (Fast of) Esther he has placed this entire matter into G-d's Hands alone.
Now, I don't know if Bibi will be elected to a fourth term. Maybe yes maybe no. Either way we are about to embark on a 7 month roller coaster ride. And HaShem has already calculated in all possibilities which bring the world against Yerushalayim for final judgment.
One thing is for sure. Obama and the Europeans have already planned their revenge against Israel the day after the elections. Whether Bibi is re-elected or whether No one is elected, they will be almost immediately be voting to establish Palestine in the UN Security Council in the early days of Nissan. So hold on tight. The roller coaster ride is about to get wild and hairy.”

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.
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:
You might want to Read the Destination Yisrael 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
