Finland: An Israelitish Nation -- of Issachar!
|
A common error in referring to Finnish origins assumes a Khazarian and a Turko-Finnish affiliation. Its origin stems from the false hopes and deceptions of Jewish authors with an axe to grind -- for themselves. |
by J. Richard Niemela
Several Jewish scholars believe that the present day Jews derive primarily from the Ashkenazic Khazars, a feudal tribe that moved into central Russia and the Ukraine from east of the Urals around 260 BC. They subsequently converted to Babylonian Talmudic Judaism in 740 AD. Then, following the rise to power of the Russians and the movements of the Huns, these Khazars were driven westward into Eastern Europe and western Russia around the mid 13th century. They were Turkic-Mongol in derivation and admittedly were the source of over 90% of today’s Ashkenazic Jews. (See Arthur Koestler’s, The Thirteenth Tribe and The Jews of Khazaria by Kevin A. Brook).
The Turko-Finnish Error
The error of identification made by these scholars and that of other Jewish
writers -- that is, to apply the term “Turko-Finnish” to the genetic background
of these Khazars, must be refuted.
Yes, these Khazars were “Turko” in derivation, but absolutely not “Finnish.”
This is an error of commission: its origin and promotion stems from Khazarian-Jew
authors, and is contrived. Early promoters, Dr. Ben Freedman, Yair Davidy, etc
were Jews themselves, and needed a White European nation to accommodate their
own convoluted history. They needed a Christian nation with whom to affiliate
these Khazars, thus cloaking themselves in an improvised association with a true
Semitic Nation, those who were the progeny of Noah’s son, Shem.
To some Finns, the Nation of Finland has historically been associated with the Israelite Tribe/Nation of Issachar, Jacobs ninth son, from his first wife, Leah. Job was a son of Issachar. This Tribe’s actions in support of King David against Saul, were instrumental in turning the Kingdom to David. They reportedly are described, who:
"…were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do...and all their brethren were at their commandment" (I Chronicles 12:32).
Are these Biblical comments
applicable today?
Yair Davidy in his fairly recent book, The Tribes, does point to the fact
that European Nations certainly do seem to fit the Biblical definitions of the
“lost tribes of Israel” and in this regard, he offers considerable supportive
comment. But, then he also makes the claim that today’s Jews are in his view,
genetically associated with ancient Judah and Israel, but are not Turkic in
origin, not Ashkenazic Khazars, thus adding to the confused distortion of their
true origins.
Mr. Davidy also misuses the term “Turko-Finn” applying it to the Khazars whom he
denies as being the progenitors of today’s Jews, a deviation from the truth.
His denial of this Jewish, Khazarian background is very common among Jews today,
for to say otherwise would distort the insidious hoax of the “Chosen.” That
is a false claim that today’s Jews are the rightful recipients of the Biblical
Birthright Covenant Promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel, and
that they, the Jews, are those in whom these Promises were manifest over
history. This is simply NOT true!
Davidy’s use of the expression “Turko-Finn” is simply an attempt at fitting into
an affiliation with a white Nation that does, however, have direct ties to
ancient Israel, as I will show in this article.
Jewish Deception
The Jew, Dr. Ben Freedman, is often touted as a dedicated Christian, (reportedly
converted to Catholicism), from his writings. However, this man was deceptive in
his actions, most probably using as cover, the Jewish, Kol Nidre prayer,
recited once a year, which pre-absolves a Jew of all deviant actions against
others, especially Christians. Its cloaking aspects can be used to disguise
a seemingly friendly and co-operative attitude with Christians (goyim),
while at the same time aiding the deceptions of Talmudists dedicated to the
destruction of Christianity -- the theme of their Talmud, which is
severely anti-Christian in content and intent.
The author Eustace Mullins (1923-2010), following his critique of Jewish
chauvinism and Jewish supremacism, had this deceptive treatment surreptitiously
applied to him by Dr Freedman and it may have resulted in his being released
from work in the Library of Congress and by companies that he worked for later.
Freedman, a close friend and associate of Bernard Baruch, probably the most
influential Jew of the Franklin Roosevelt administration, was actually
working behind the scenes for the ADL and other Jewish groups while
seemingly cultivating a friendly association from among Christians.
Some will respond to these comments with doubt and indifference, so steeped in
that new religion, “Judeo-Christianity,” that understanding and recognition will
come hard; as the impact from Talmudic “traditions of the elders” on many Church
doctrines have achieved their purposes surreptitiously. Our moral compasses
and the fiber of the faith are now so far off track that it may just be too late
for even a mid-course correction. We may just be in trouble, such as a lost
aviator could face, a situation like being out of fuel, altitude and airspeed!
Yet, we find promised that Jacob will he saved out of it -- out of the anticipated
Biblical tribulation (Jeremiah 30:7). Jacob, of course, went through his
“wrestling” before his name was changed to Israel, a “prince with God.”
“Judeo-Christianity” is a misnomer, a true oxymoron as the content of its
principles are antithetical, and diametrically opposed, and yet, many
“Christians” assume that Christianity must relegate itself to a subordinate
status to Judaism which, in its basic principles, is severely anti-Christian and
always has been. Its Talmud is bitterly worded against Christianity.
The Scythian Connection
Another purpose in writing this article is to point out that the Finns, like the
Scots, had been, in far earlier times -- Scythians -- an historic Nation, but
relegated to backwaters of history by an inordinate control over media and
publishing houses by Jews fearful of the probability that Scythians might be
proven to have come from those ancient lost tribes of Israel. This is
something Jewish Khazars would certainly seek to dispel, ever hoping to
disguise any historic reference to the real members of these lost tribes of the
House of Israel. (People to whom the Messiah stated that he was Only Sent,
(Matthew 15:24) and those to whom he directed his disciples to Only Go --
Matthew 10:6).
But, archaeology and other studies are beginning to determine that this ancient
nation of Scythia was far more advanced than we have been led to believe.
When the historic term "Barbarians" is applied to a people, this application was
usually done by scholars of the so-called “advanced” civilizations, most of whom
displayed attributes far more pagan and undesirable than demonstrated by those
northern Tribes. Biblical history in this regard, would seem to confirm a “how
not to be” status or some of these “advanced” civilizations.
When 37 Scottish Chieftains met in 1320 and signed their letter of
disassociation with the Catholic Church and England, their Letter of Arbroath
contained a paragraph on their ancestry. It referred to the Scots as having come
from Scythia, and earlier, from ancient Israel. Here are those exceptionally
revealing lines from the Letter of Arbroath:
“The which Scottish nation, journeying from Greater Scythia by the Tyrrhene Sea and the Pillars of Heracles, could not in any, place or time or manner be overcome by the barbarians, though long dwelling in Spain among the fiercest of them. Coming thence, twelve hundred years after the transit of Israel with many victories and many toils they won that habitation in the west, which though the Britons have been driven out, the Picts effaced, and the Norwegian…”
There, we can see that the Scots certainly understood their origins and the history of their past.
The Emerging Truth
Similarly, in Finland, the history of their origins and background is slowly
emerging as well. From an old poem. first published in the Abo Tidningar of the
Aurora Society in 1771; its first line reads as follows: “You People of Scythian
stock, and the oldest born of the North” (Finnish Folk Poetry Epic. Ed.
Matti Kuusi-Finnish Lit. Society -- Helsinki, 1977).
There are a number of other references to cite which confirm the point that the
Finns originated near the Tigris-Euphrates River valleys, and words on some
ancient maps still appear with Finnish names: far too many to go into detail
here.
A book titled, The Lost Tribes of Israel -- Found by Steven Collins,
published about four years ago, provides considerable documentation on Israel,
and the late H. W. Armstrong, writing in The Sword of the Lord about the
Ten Lost Tribes of Israel taken into captivity by the Assyrians between 744 and
721 BC, states that they were the ancestors of the Europeans, including the
Finns. (Actually all 12 Hebrew tribes were taken -- see II Kings 18:13).
Language also can be used to confirm points of similarities among nations of the
past. Words carved into the monumental Behistun stone cliff in Iran, in
cuneiform inscriptions in three different languages, provided the key to the
decipherment of cuneiform of other languages of those ancient times.
In the Finnish language are found parallels, a similarity to ancient words that
were reported in an article on Finnish ethnology published in the Kalevainen of
1962. German anthropological researchers, carrying on with Hitler’s racial
searches, stated that the Finns were Germanic peoples. The authors, however,
did not understand their true affiliations with ancient Israel as members of the
Lost Sheep of the house of Israel!
But one of the most convincing details comes from the Finnish word for Father,
which is, Isa -- almost confirming ancient Finnish ties with the
Israelite tribe of Issachar. Only Finnish has such a unique word for
Father.
Here are the prophetic Biblical comments of Jacob/Israel relating to his son, Issachar:
“Issachar is a strong ass [donkey] crouching down between two burdens: and he saw that rest was good, and the land that was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute” (Genesis 49:14-15).
Steven Collins, in discussing these predictions for the Tribe of Issachar, offers comments about Issachar’s future in his book, The Ten Lost Tribes – Found:
“To identify Issachar we must look for a nation which has a tradition of being quasi independent ('under tribute'), located 'between' two stronger nations or spheres of influence (the 'two burdens') and dwelling in reasonable peace and prosperity (their 'rest was good, and the land…was pleasant')."
No one would question the impact of its geography on Finland. Collins notes that it has
“long been in the condition of being a buffer zone between stronger, competing nations. Its history confirms its struggles with both Russia and Sweden, and in both cases, often literally under 'tribute.' But Finland has found peace and prosperity 'crouching down' between two burdens, a condition that has led to the term. 'Finlandisation.'"
In Finland we saw one of YEHOVAH's miracles by a people militarily led by the Last Knight of Europe -- as Field Marshall Mannerheim was called. On occasion, while addressing his troops in the field, he would exhort them as follows:
“Sons of Issachar, stand and die, but let only scorched earth fall into the hands of the antichrists.”
For three and one half months
from November 30, 1939, Finland fought the might of the Russian army and amazed
the world. How can the secular historian account for the failure of the Russian
“blitz” war and the survival of this tiny nation of four million, isolated, its
military outnumbered fifty to one?
History has put Finland into a quiet corner for most of its existence, the
prophecy that “we saw that the rest was good, and that the land was pleasant”
would seem to confirm its historic geographic political status and the prophetic
words of Jacob-Israel.
YEHOVAH's Chosen People and History
The late Richmond
Stuart, in his book, One of Jacob’s Sons (Issachar) published by Destiny
Publishers. Merrimac, MA. 01860, discusses the Israel Identity movement, and its
preoccupation with the identification of the leading birthright tribes/nations
including the House of Joseph and the Scepter of Judah in the house of David.
Stuart made the point that Biblically the children of Israel were not only to
become a “company of nations” and “a great people,” but also were to become
“many nations.” (And that they were to “possess the gates of their enemies” --
the world’s “choke points.” See, i.e., Genesis 17:6-9, Genesis 22:17-18). His
point was that traditional views often overlook the fact that these Biblical
Covenants, both old and new; made with YEHOVAH God, were assigned to the whole
house of Israel and not solely with the house of Joseph, or Judah, but
ultimately with the whole house of Jacob/Israel, the father of all of the Tribes
of Israel.
Twelve Tribes (thirteen after Israel’s adoption of Joseph’s two sons) made up
Israel and they all must be recognized, even today. In the final analysis, they
were separately identified in each prophetic commentary of Jacob/Israel as
recorded in Genesis 49, where Jacob/Israel says:
“Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.”
The historic movements of Israel
were set into motion by the Assyrians, when the last of three invasions took all
the Israel Tribes captive in 721 BC, placing them as a buffer between Assyria
and northern pagan nations. Here they remained as a block against pagan
invasions until the demise of Assyria as a power and when free, they began a
north-westward movement into the Caucasus Mountain area. There, these Tribes
then became the basis of the subsequent Caucasian nations of Europe.
The Book of Esdras contains the last significant Biblical references to
these Israel nations. In II Esdras 13:39-49 are the words that confirm that
YEHOVAH God was yet working with Israel, as He stopped the rains to permit them
to cross the upper reaches of the Euphrates river on their trek through the
Caucasus, into the Scythian steppes enroute into history, along their ages-long
trek into the future, moving to all corners of Europe, from Finland to
Ireland, to Spain and Greece. Their subsequent travels under their new name,
Christian, concluded in North America!
Genesis 49 does outline the future of these separate Tribes/Nations, and the
prophetic interpretations of a number of authors are quite similar in
exposition.
Richmond Stuart also points out
that events in history have confirmed an invincibility in all of these ancient
Israel people that YEHOVAH God called His Chosen, as time and again we have seen
occur. Divinely inspired miraculous successes that would not normally have been
anticipated: from the plain of Jericho to the beaches of Normandy, from the
defeat of the Spanish Armada to the miracle of Dunkirk: YEHOVAH God always
intervened on behalf of His people -- see Joshua 24:13.
Throughout the vast panorama of world events, Israel’s survival is the recurring
theme of history with one chapter perhaps less notable than some, only because
of its brief duration and diminutive scale among the epic conflicts of the great
powers. But nonetheless, each event deserves not to be forgotten.
There are many other prophetic Biblical comments about
Israel, as Israel is the principle focus of the Bible. The Bible is the book
for, to, and about Israel, and any other nations that appear, do so
obliquely, only as they came into contact with Israel over the centuries:
usually unfavorably.
Those ancient historic events at Mount Sinai, where only these Chosen Israelite
people were present (they agreed in contract with YEHOVAH God to abide by His
Laws) there He put them under this Law -- and as a consequence, only Israel will
be judged by this Law -- YEHOVAH is fair in His dealings with all men.
But for the doubters and the fearful, doubt can be resolved, as the Messiah
himself made these pointed comments that confirm this chosen status of Israel;
telling the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:24:
“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Then, as if to cap this point for history, he again reiterates this instruction in addressing his disciples departing on their mission to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom:
“But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 10:6).
Now, let’s return to
Jacob/Israel’s comments made in Genesis 49 that relate to the Tribes of Israel.
There we can see that the purpose for Jacob’s comments confirms that they were
destined to be understood in the “last days.”
History shows that the Tribes of Israel split into two separate nations after
Solomon, and the Bible keeps them separate -- yet they are now rejoined, as the
prophetic, “Two Sticks” of Ezekiel, in North America. This restoration reveals
as weIl, the true Judah, as most of the original people of Judah, also went into
the Assyrian captivity in 721 B.C. (See: II Kings 18:13) The false claimants
of today however, the self-styled Jews, are those whom the Messiah termed the
“False Jews” that he identified in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.
Yes, the Biblical thread of Israel weaves throughout the Bible and concludes in
the latter day of our modern era, but many Christians are still blinded in part
-- to their true Identity. Still, some are awakening, as the apostle Paul noted,
saying: “blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the time of the
Gentiles [nations] be come in” (Romans 11:25). That the Gentiles of the
Bible were, and are Israelites and still partly blinded, is now understood!
YEHOVAH God Keeps His Promises!
Like Finland and its ancient association as Issachar, America too, is the
final terminus of that long historic “trek” of all the Tribes of Israel. America
contains the descendants of all the Lost Tribes and it may come as a surprise to
many; but that conclusion is justified both by secular history and in the
fulfillment of predicted Bible history.
Richmond Stuart noted this as fact:
“When this conclusion is admitted and incorporated into the study of history, history blazes with the light of God’s providential care and leadership of His people Israel -- as real and glorious today as in the days of Moses and David.”
When this conclusion is accepted,
the Bible becomes a new, vital, living Book, more interesting in its portrayal
of today’s events than the latest newspapers, while YEHOVAH’s plan is seen to be
rapidly nearing completion and His Covenant with Abraham soon to be proven!
So nothing in all the annals of history is more amazing and interesting than
YEHOVAH God’s dealing with His People, Israel, when it is seen that the
Anglo-Saxon-Celtic-Germanic-Scottish-Irish-Scandinavian and kindred races, are
today, the Peoples of Israel -- those to whom the Messiah said that he was
only sent, and those to whom he directed his disciples to only go!
“Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art My servant I have formed thee; thou art My servant: O Israel, thou shall not be forgotten of Me” (Isaiah 44:21).
“Yet, now hear, O Jacob My servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen…(Isaiah 44:1). You only have I known of all the families of the earth” (Amos 3:2).
These few Israel truths out of
many in the Bible, confirm that YEHOVAH God has a Plan for this planet, and that
He chose the Tribes of Israel to shape it, a people who are yet
nationally extant on the earth today. But, like the prophets of old, this Great
Truth has met with indifference, unbelief, and opposition. Of the outspoken
opposition, it can be said that they will make excellent converts when their
spiritual blindness clears away and they see the Truth for themselves.
When the Truth of Israel’s Identity is presented, many propose to pass it all up
by saying, Suppose we are Israel, What of it? What difference does it make?
Whether such a statement comes from a flippant or conscientious Christian, that
statement assumes serious aspects, and yet few consider its true import. It is
with such concern that I have written this article, and for those in whom its
content and message ignites interest and a concern for their own status, there
is other relevant data available.
