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.
The tribe of Judah constituted one of the leading tribes of Israel, and has a fascinating and much misunderstood history. For a good part of the Biblical story, the people of Judah strived for the birthright and headship among the tribes of Israel. We often find Judah in the forefront of major events, including the…
Orthodox Rabbi Eliezer Cohen, in a thoughtful—and thought provoking—article published in “Jewish News” (10-6-05) mused that the covenant of Moses “has been a 3,500-year failure.” Although the Jewish religion has steadfastly refused to implement the Christian Gospel with its New Covenant, Cohen bares the shortcomings—and indeed failure—of the Old Covenant, found in the Old Testament…
A fast-growing segment of Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christianity is adopting a belief-system known as “Christian Zionism.” It is troubling that this pseudo-Christian philosophy has received relatively little examination and criticism from Christian leaders. Some mainstream church bodies do oppose it, but for mainly political reasons. In particular, those who advocate a two-state solution in Palestine…
There are those today who wonder why the Lord allows wickedness to prevail upon the earth. Some, indeed, wanting perhaps to help the Lord’s program along, seek to take matters into their own hands and bring about the defeat the wicked before the Divine appointed time of judgment has arrived. We are instead expressly told…
The Israeli Knesset has introduced and passed a new bill that has caused anger and confusion in the Jewish nation, and “could tear apart the Jewish people,” according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. (Jewish News, July 22, 2010) In order to become law, the bill must pass three readings in the Knesset, and some Jewish…
The Biblical account of the division of Israel into two “houses” or kingdoms in the time of King Rehoboam of Judah is of great prophetic significance right up to our own day. The leadership, or birthright, of Israel was originally given to the Patriarch Joseph (1 Chron. 5:1-2), and then to his son Ephraim and…
A Long Look Back – The Oldest Anglo-Israel Church Celebrates 75 Years The month of March, 2008 witnessed the seventy-fifth anniversary of Restoration, the oldest Anglo-Israel church congregation in North America, if not the world. On March 11, 1933, a dozen individuals gathered in the home of Wilbur C. Dendel, first president, to organize themselves into…
Questions have come our way recently after the BIWF-UK magazine, Covenant Nations (vol. 1, no. 2), printed two conflicting dates for the birth of our Savior. The importance of this is not just an academic exercise, because prophetic time periods are involved, as well as the fulfillment of biblical prophecies.
Recently, a visitor to our church asked about our beliefs. After giving a brief overview of the two houses of Israel in Scripture, their division and separate sets of prophecies, he looked at me somewhat bewildered and replied, “What does any of that have to do with the price of tea in China?”
I had the wonderful opportunity to visit several British-Israel groups in a number of cities throughout England, meeting many wonderful Christian people, on a three-week lecture visit this past October. Such a trip proved to be both inspirational and educational, and a brief overview may be encouraging to our readers as well.
