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.
Did the patriarch Joseph, son of Jacob, marry an Egyptian? Are two of the most prominent tribes of Israel, Ephraim and Manasseh, of Egyptian origin? (Gen. 41:50-52; 46:20) Bible reference books seem to be divided on this issue. We read this notation in the Believers Bible Commentary: “He also gave Asenath, a Gentile, to be…
In the fifty-fourth chapter of Isaiah, God foretells His restoration of Israel with promises of peace, protection and prosperity. “Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married…
In the Scriptures we are presented with the story of Esau selling both his birthright and blessing to his brother Jacob. Although Esau’s sale of his birthright is only given in a brief account, allotted only 94 words in the Hebrew text (Gen. 25:27-34), it was an event of major significance in biblical history. Through…
A wonderful new film presentation has just been released by the British-Israel-World Federation in Great Britain, entitled, “The Mystery of the Lost Tribes of Israel.” The DVD wrapper urges us to “Follow the journey of the Twelve Tribes of Israel who would ultimately form the Christian nations of Europe.” This is a professional production, very…
In his book, “The Delusion of British-Israelism,” Anton Darms states, “The fallacy of British-Israelism is seen in the teaching that England, and not Palestine, is the Promised Land; that London, not Jerusalem, is the city from which the Prince of David will rule.” (p.204) Without question, critics love to seize upon any stray or seemingly…
One of the main problems we have to overcome in the proclamation of the British-Israel message is the two-sided issue of Christians not studying their Bible or not believing their Bible. And our efforts are made even more difficult because the churches are not fulfilling their responsibilities in this regard. One of America’s leading archaeologists…
Some thoughts and observations from my recent three-week visit to Great Britain during June and July: I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the annual summer convention of the Covenant People’s Fellowship at High Leigh during the week of July 4 through 9, with some of the leading British-Israel speakers from throughout England, Wales,…
The Myth of Richard Brothers Through the years that the Canadian British-Israel Association has distributed books and literature, we sometimes receive anonymous emails rather rudely asserting that no scholar supports B.I. teaching. One might simply laugh off such a remark except for the fact that the major media and publishing houses have suppressed British-Israel scholarship…
Events in Egypt and throughout the Mideast have dominated the news headlines. The popular revolt in Egypt against President Hosni Mubarak is especially important, since his regime is the only one in the Mideast that has a peace agreement with the Israeli state. The calls for “democracy” and free elections sound innocent, even moral, yet…
Mainline Christians generally know something about the Old Testament fall of Jerusalem and Babylonian exile of the House of Judah, but there was another exile of Judah that is almost universally ignored, even by many Biblical scholars. We read about this “unknown exile” in the book of Second Kings 18:13: “Now in the fourteenth year…
