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.
This past summer, my family and I visited the full-size replica of Noah’s Ark that was completed in July, 2016 in the hills of Williamstown, Kentucky. Branded the “Ark Encounter,” it is built to biblical proportions, 510 feet in length, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet in height. You would need to see it in…
It is a widely popular view today that the word, ‘Gentile,’ in our English Bible translations can only refer to non-Israelites, yet the facts prove conclusively otherwise. The following information from leading Bible reference works proves that this word refers instead to ‘nations,’ representing sometimes the dispersed house of Israel, sometimes non-Israelites, and sometimes both,…
London’s famed British Museum hosted a special exhibit this summer that was both fascinating and instructive. Labeled, “Treasures of Heaven,” it showcased the largest and most valuable collection of Roman Catholic relics and reliquaries probably ever assembled in Britain. Not personally being of the Romanist denomination myself, it might have seemed to be a waste…
Ezekiel gave us one of his most memorable prophecies in chapter 37, verses 1 to 14, popularly known as “the valley of dry bones.” Early theologian, St. Jerome, said, “This passage is very famous.” Modern Christian scholar, Dr. Thomas L. Constable, declared, “This may be the best-known section of the Book of Ezekiel.” He added…
A remark in a recent video sermon by an American Anglo-Israel advocate was unsettling. He made a statement in an off-hand way that “Christians are still under the Old Covenant because the New Covenant is not here yet.” This is quite apparently a source of confusion for some believers today. Perhaps he and his little…
It is probably safe to say that the average Christian’s knowledge of the Biblical book of Isaiah is limited to only a short passage or two. One of these is the famous prophecy of the future glory of the millennial city of Jerusalem found in chapter 2, verses 2 through 4: “And it shall come…
A leading early twentieth century British-Israel exponent, Rev. J.G. Taylor, remarked, “People are apt to colour the statements of Scripture in the way they paint their possessions—namely, according to prevailing ideas. Fashion is proverbially tyrannical, and it is not less imperious in theology than elsewhere. In secularities it exerts a strange and subtle spell, and…
Pastor Jory Brooks’ Comments: Ferrar Fenton (1832–1920) was the acclaimed author of “The Holy Bible In Modern English,” the product of a half century of labor, first published in 1903 after being issued in sections over eleven years. He was a confirmed British-Israelite who dedicated his Bible translation to “all those nations who have sprung…
Christian believers these days are becoming interested in Jewish holidays and customs, and with an increase in interest in the festival of Purim since the release of the Christian film, “One Night With The King,” based upon the Esther narrative. The Purim holiday is interwoven with the inspiring story of a young Jewish girl, Esther,…
Question: Jory, in the blessing of the tribe of Gad in Deut.33:21 we are told that the tribe of Gad “shares in a portion of the lawgiver” and in Jer.49:1-6 we find God in his judgment upon the Ammonites saying that their “king inherits Gad”. That they were to be Israel’s heir as “sons of…
