Have you noticed that the three most influential religions in the world today are connected to Abraham? Abraham is humanities connection to God. When the dust settles, after the age of faith, everyone on earth, everyone alive, will be a 'spiritual' son of Abraham. Many will also be physical descendants of Abraham. Could everyone be both? That is an idea for a Hollywood blockbuster someone should write. The story of how God is populating the world with the physical descendants of Abraham is a great mystery yet to unfold. At the heart of this mystery is the issue of the 'lost tribes of Israel'. One of the Jewish researchers doing valuable work on this topic is Yair Davidiy. Davidiy has been researching the distribution of the lost ten tribes for many years. This is distinctly different from the more common effort today to identify lost Jewish populations (which descended from Judah, the southern tribes). This is one of the most prophetically (and politically) explosive events to confront the modern world. This is a very timely, yet unknown, issue. Davidiy's web site is BritAm.org He was on the Tamar Yonah Show (Israel National Radio) recently (Tuesday, 7-14-2009) to discuss his work. The audio can be heard here: Are Some Americans Part of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel? And just in case you may want to study more about the history of Judah and the lost tribes, one of the original researchers of this subject was J. H. ALLEN. His book "JUDAH'S SCEPTRE AND JOSEPH'S BIRTHRIGHT" (185 pages in PDF) is an, "Analysis of the Prophecies of the Scriptures in regard to the Royal Family of Judah and the Many Nations of Israel, the Lost Ten Tribes", originally published, 1902. Nineteenth Edition. Re-typeset, A.D. 2000. It's a classic written in 1902; hard to read but well worth it.

The article below, written by a Russian journalist, pictures the contest between the West and Islam as a clash of someone suicidal being confronted by someone intent on murdering him. There is no contest; they both agree on the outcome! (One party dies) He contends that the West's postmodern liberals hate their own society as much as Islam does. He states, It is difficult to find more hatred of the West, than in the West itself.
What is this phenomenon of self-hate? How can we explain it? It would be easy to look at the growing scourge of liberalism and conclude that it is the cause of America's and the West's maladies.
But if we're honest we will look a little deeper. We will see that liberalism is not really the cause; it's more of a symptom.
It's a complex issue that shouldn't be over-simplified but for the sake of time I'll just offer a few insights. The soul of America is the Church. America was founded and blessed to advance the kingdom of God. Along the way, very successful in its mission, we and the world, have prospered immensely.
But slowly, generation after generation we have lost much of our goodness, spiritual vigor, and clarity of vision. A faithlessness has overtaken America and the Church. We have been losing our spiritual life and replacing it with natural counterfeits. Often well intentioned, this human counterfeit of spiritual power is often called humanism or liberalism. At its core, liberalism is a faulty human response to a real or perceived need. It replaces God with government, and rather than promoting individual excellence it encourages human dependence (leading to slavery). It has a faithless view of the world. So, as once noble governments and societies become corrupt, liberalism rushes in to fill that void.

Rabbi Ginsburgh clarifies what it takes to bring peace. (He is according to their site, "the world's foremost authority on Kabbalah") . His teachings are featured on the The Inner Dimension website (www.inner.org), [Rabbi Ginsburgh was born in S. Louis, Missouri in 1944. Prior to his rediscovering the beauty and wisdom of his Jewish heritage, Rabbi Ginsburgh pursued an academic career in mathematics and philosophy. Upon finding his way to Torah faith and observance, he began an intensive program of religious study and development, under the close guidance of several great sages--most notably, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. In the course of his study, Rabbi Ginsburgh acquired deep and broad knowledge of the mystical tradition within Judaism, the realm of Kabbalah and Chassidut.]

Parallel to spiritual developments happening in the world today are physical developments as well. We are seeing new life in the Levitical economy of Israel. We should expect it and welcome it. The Bible admonishes us to 'pray for the peace of Jerusalem'. Also, Romans 11:11 says, "Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. {12} But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!". We are seeing the foundations of a righteous Israel forming; among them are the Sanhedrin, the Temple, and the Priesthood. Paul would be happy to see this happening and you should too. It's a complex issue we'll explain as time goes on. Here are some web sites of interest: the Sanhedrin (notice the first item on their "New Initiatives..."; that likely is an ominous indicator of fearful/wonderful things to come), some history; restoring the Sanhedrin ; and history of the Sanhedrin , and Temple activity: Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement ;and The Temple Institute . Also, notice the Menorah video below.
Where is the first menorah in the Bible? It lights the way to the hidden treasures of end day prophesy. Even as we are discovering the hidden metaphysical menorah, many are preparing the physical Temple Menorah
Below is a sobering video on Muslim demographics in Europe and N. America over the next 7 to 40 years. (Note: The video, while shocking, has its bias and is unclear at times. These kind of long range prognostications seldom play out as scripted. I'm sure even the authors would agree with that. There are many complex factors that could speed up or slow down the projections. But what is evident is that our world is changing rapidly. This is consistent with Biblical prophecy. I would just like to make a (perhaps controversial) comment without explanation at this time. We should remember that Islam and the Arabs are connected to Abraham (however distorted), and the twelve tribes of Ishmael were/are ‘blessed’ by Abraham. Therefore we should look deeper to see how the rise of Islam will be used by God to bring about his kingdom. In fact I will make this claim: Islam is the first wave of the kingdom of God. First watch this video than check out the article below.

Here's a fascinating video from wejew.com about the latest archeology on Jericho, Israel. It's an old old story. No, not the one about "Jesus and His glory", but the one about how anti-Bible scholars deliberately or incompetently misrepresent archeological history, until the real facts come out and affirm the Bible. Note the ending, it's especially startling.
(Prov 6:6-8 NIV) Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! {7} It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, {8} yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. And that's just the tip of the megopolis. Where can this intellegence come from? What a glorious example of the corporate mind? What can explain this at a physical level? Quotes: "Everything looks like it has been designed by an architect; a single mind". "The collective will of the ant colony; the super organism". There's no leader, there's no Architect, and they're building air conditioning systems! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozkBd2p2piU
