Pastor Jory Brooks is an American and pastor of the oldest Anglo-Israel church in North America, located in Detroit, Michigan. He is also Vice-President of the “The Servant People, Canadian British Israel Association” and together with President Mary Bennett, has been a driving force in that organization. With his keen interest in history and research, he has updated and written many fine publications for CBIA. When you read a Jory Brooks article, you know you are in touch with one of the foremost scholars of the Israel Truth. He is a speed reader so gets the most out of the hours per day he spends in research. His articles in our magazine are invariably fresh and informative and he also writes a quarterly article for a British publication. It is a tribute to his wisdom that his articles are very often picked up and reprinted in other Israel Truth magazines. Jory is also a sought after speaker and has delivered messages throughout the United States, Canada and the British Isles.

Have promises been held out to Israel? Men have been told continually that they are addressed to Gentile saints. Have glorious things been described as laid up in store for Israel?
This song is an encouraging paean of victory, which we no doubt need to have more of in today’s troubled world. But did Judah then go defeat the enemy?
Protestant reformer John Calvin in his “Commentary” states, “They who say that Abraham and other believers care no more about the affairs of men, torture by excessive ingenuity the words of the Prophet.
This then naturally leads to an assertion that there are two different Divine Kingdoms. Jews will inherit the earth while Christians reign in Heaven (sometimes described as “Planet Heaven”).
The Bible reveals that the Divine Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom throughout history and not limited to one era. It existed in Daniel’s time.
