Chapter 12f –Mesoamerica – Part 6
The Lost Tribes of Israel https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/losttribes.html#:~:text=Conquered%20by%20the%20Assyrian%20King,have%20never%20been%20seen%20since.
I only found
out about Israels’ lost tribes just recently. Never knew this was a thing.
Quick
History. Abrahams’
grandson Jacob was renamed Israel (meaning - “he who struggles or strives
with God.”) when God appeared to him when he was leaving Paddan Aram
and blessed him. Jacob produced twelve sons, each of whom became the father of
one of the twelve tribes of Israel. (Genesis 35 :: NIV)
The 12 tribes
of Israel are Reuven, Shimon, Levi, Yehuda, Issachar,
Zevulun, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Joseph
and Benjamin. In the Land of Canaan, each of the twelve Israelite
tribes settled in a different region on either side of the Jordan River.
With the death
of King Solomon, the state was divided in two. The tribes split along
territorial and political lines, with Judah and Benjamin in the
south loyal to the Davidic house. The southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin
constitute the historical forbears of most of the Jewish people as it is known
today.
And the Ten
Tribes of the Northern Kingdom? It appeared that they had been eliminated
for eternity. But the prophet Ezekiel envisioned a different future: "Behold
I will take the children of Israel... and will gather them on every side (“of
the world”) and bring them (“back”) into their land. And they shall be divided
into two kingdoms no more."
What
happened? "In
the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and he carried
them (“the Ten Tribes”) away to Assyria and placed them in Halah, and on the
Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of Medes."
Meaning?: In the years 722-721 BC, the
Ten Tribes who comprised the northern Kingdom of Israel disappeared. Conquered
by the Assyrian King Shalmaneser V, they were exiled to upper Mesopotamia and
Medes, todays modern Syria and Iraq. The Ten Tribes of Israel have never been
seen since. Or have they?
Kashmir https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/losttribes2.html
Between Afghanistan,
Pakistan and Kashmir lives the world's largest tribal
grouping—the Pathans. All of the 15 million Pathans, who comprise
some 60 tribes, claim descent from Kish, an ancestor of the Biblical King
Saul. Many of them also claim to be the children of the Lost Israelites.
The Pathans perform circumcision of the eighth day, wear a fringed
garment similar to the Jewish tzizit, light candles on Friday nights and
observe food taboos similar to the laws of Kashrut.
Ethiopia https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/losttribes3.html
The Ethiopian
Jews known both as Falashas, the Amharic word for landless, wandering Jews,
and as Beta Israel, the house of Israel. In the 1970's and 80's,
the Israeli government airlifted thousands of Ethiopian Jews to
Israel, rescuing them from political and economic distress.
According to
one tradition, the Ethiopian Jews are the descendants of one of the ten tribes,
as their religion is an ancient form of biblical Judaism. Their Torah
translated into their Gez dialect. Over the centuries, the Beta
Israel have been connected with the tribe of Dan. This association
has eased the process of their return to the state of Israel in recent times.
Japan https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/losttribes3.html
The holy
Japanese Shinto temple strongly resembles the ancient holy Israelite
temple, which housed a holy of holies section and several gates. Several
artifacts in Japan have been traced to Assyrian and Jewish
sources, among them, a well in Koryugi with the words "well
of Israel" inscribed on its side. (I could not find a
picture of this well unfortunately.)
Japanese Shinto temple similar to Israelite
temple?

DNA Shows Connection of
the Japanese and Jews (and the Chiang Chinese) https://remnant-p.com/isracame.htm
See the DNA breakdown of the Japanese
and Chiang Chinese people.
Y-chromosome DNA shows strong
relationship between Jews and the Japanese. Male cell has
Y-chromosome, which is a hangar of DNA. Y-chromosome DNA is handed from father
to son, only through the male line.
Y-chromosome DNA of Japanese males
have a very specific feature which is seldom seen among the Chinese or Koreans.
Nearly 40% of the Japanese have the specific gene sequence called YAP in
their Y-chromosome DNA. This YAP gene sequence is seldom seen among the Chinese
or Koreans, and rare in Asia. But nearly 40% of the Japanese have it.
And in the land near Tibet in China live
a small tribe called Chiang (Qiang, Chiang-Min).
Their faces look like the Japanese. They are descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes
of Israel, as recognized by Amishav in Jerusalem, a famous searching
group of the Lost Tribes of Israel. The 23% of the Chiang people have
haplogroup D, having YAP just like the Japanese do. The Chiang people
and the Japanese are thus genetically relatives.
Japanese
"Omikoshi" ark
https://remnant-p.com/isracame.htm
The Israeli ark
had two statues of gold cherubim on its top. Cherubim are a type of angel,
heavenly being having wings like birds. Japanese "omikoshi"
also have on its top the gold bird called "Ho-oh" which is an
imaginary bird and a mysterious heavenly being.
The entire
Israeli ark was overlaid with gold. Japanese "omikoshi" are
also overlaid partly and sometimes entirely with gold. The size of an "omikoshi"
is almost the same as the Israeli ark. Japanese "omikoshi"
could be a remnant of the ark of ancient Israel. https://remnant-p.com/isracame.htm
China https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/losttribes3.html
Interestingly, Sinim
is the Hebrew word for China. In fort-like villages in the high mountain ranges
on the Chinese-Tibetan border live the Chiang-Min of West Szechuan. It has been
claimed that the Chiang-Min are descendants of the ancient Israelites
who arrived in China several hundred years before Christ.
The missionary
Torrance, who visited Cheng-du in the early party of this century, insisted
that the Chiang-Min strongly resemble the Israelite branch of the Semitic race.
He observed that several of their customs were reminiscent of ancient Israelite
tradition. Said Torrance: "The plough the Chiang use is similar to the
ancient Israelite plough and is drawn by two oxen, never by an ox and an ass.
This in accordance with the Biblical stipulation: 'You shall not plough with
an ox and ass together.'" The Chaing-Min believes in one God. During
"times of calamity or acute distress," writes Torrance, "they
issue a moan or cry which sounds like 'Yawei', suggestive of the
biblical name of God. The Scottish missionary also claims that the Chinese
conception of Sacrifice came from the ancient Israelites.
Finally,
Chiang-Min priests, like the ancient Israelite priests, wear girdles to bind
their robes, and bear a sacred rod shaped like a serpent, reminiscent of the
brass serpent fashioned by Moses in the wilderness.
Sacred rod shaped like a serpent,
reminiscent of the Biblical Nehushtan
(the brass serpent made by Moses:
Numbers 21:9; II Kings 18:4).
The Americas https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/losttribes2.html
In the early
16th century, Bartholeme de Las Casas became the champion of the Native
American Indians, devoting his lifetime to improving the conditions—in the West
Indies, Peru and Guatemala.
Las Casas wrote: "These Indians can bring
near the redemption. If we treat them humanely in this world and convert them
to Christianity, we are preparing for the redemption of the Western world in
the messianic era. Their conversion is apt indeed, as I am convinced the Indians
originate in Ancient Israel. Indeed, I can bring proofs from the Bible
that they are of the Lost Tribes."
Portuguese
traveler Antonio Montezinos some 120 years later aroused remarkable
interest. "It was a thrilling journey I took in South America. Now that
I am back in Amsterdam, I must share with you some incredible news. There is a Jewish
Indian tribe living beyond the mountain passes of the Andes. Indeed, I
myself heard them recite the She'ma (the expression of the Jewish faith)
and saw them observe the Jewish rituals."
Note: Amsterdam seems to come up as an
important place with high-ranking Jews in Europe in my research. For example, the
ships laden with the stolen Gold from Mesoamerica was sailing to Amsterdam
after stopping at Spain to pay the King and the Catholic Church. And the first Stock
Market was implemented in Amsterdam with the launch of the Dutch East
India Company in 1602. (I need to look more into this.)
The Book of Mormon
Well, 25 years
ago, I read the Book of Mormon where it was mentioned that the Native American
tribes are part of the Lost tribes of Israel.
Native Americans are Jews? Jews sailed to America around 2,700 years
ago? And nobody knew about it all this time?
Also, the Book
of Mormon mentioned that Jesus, when he ascended to Heaven, he stopped
by the Americas to also meet with the Jews (Native Americans) one last time!
The
Book of Mormon is based on the premise that two families of Israelites
known as Nephites escaped from Israel circa 600 BC shortly before the sacking
of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, constructed a ship, sailed across the ocean,
and arrived in the New World. They are among the ancestors of Native American
tribes and the Polynesians. Adherents believe the two founding tribes were
called Nephites and Lamanites, that the Nephites obeyed the Law of Moses,
practiced Christianity, and that the Lamanites were rebellious. Eventually the
Lamanites wiped out the Nephites around CE 400, and they are among the
ancestors of Native Americans.

I thought this
was nuts and totally ignored what I read.
BUT! Then I got some other information recently that made
me think again!!!
Muncie Indiana
The modern-day
immigration of Jews to Muncie Indiana began around the 1850s. And by the turn
of the century, Jewish entrepreneurs operated a large proportion of downtown
businesses.
The German born
Jewish settlers owned businesses in many of the same types of industries as Jews
in other Indiana towns - clothing stores, tailors, merchants, junk and scrap
dealers, and liquor and cigar stores.
The second wave
of Eastern European Jewish immigrants were equally, and in some cases more
successful than their German counterparts. Some of the second-generation German
and eastern European Jews also went into business, while others became
pharmacists, lawyers, doctors, teachers, or civil servants.
Among Muncie’s
prominent businessmen was Victor E. Silverburg. Silverburg was involved in a number
of enterprises. He was a pharmacist, owning two local drug stores, was vice
president of a cigar company, and president of the Machine Electric Supply
Company which provided machine and electrical work, house wiring, sold electric
and combination (gas) light fixtures, and sold automobiles. Victor died in
1910.
His father,
Heiman Silverburg, was a merchant tailor in Muncie for many years. His sisters
Nora S. and Rose S. were both teachers, and his brother, Adolphe C., became an
attorney. Adolphe C. Silverberg practiced law in Muncie for over forty years,
from the 1880s -1920s, also serving as vice president of Muncie Savings and
Loan, and president of Temple Beth-El.3. https://www.in.gov/dnr/historic-preservation/files/delaware_jewish.pdf
How about the
Native American tribe called Muncie/Munsee? The name meant
nothing to me until I learned about a Jewish family name (Moncy) from
France. There are different variations to the name Muncie as listed
below, and existing in America, France, and Britain and also in India.

Below is the
family crest of the French - Moncy family name.
The Moncy family Crest
The word Munsee
refers to a particular dialect of the Delaware Indian people. The word
can also be found spelled "Muncie:" or "Minsi."
Even though
there were an abundance of different Native American tribes in the Midwest, the
Europeans kept coming this way, and the Native Americans made a decision to
stand their ground. In 1794, Chief Little Turtle (Miami tribe), Chief
Blue Jacket (Shawnee tribe) and Chief Buckongahelas (Delaware tribe)
fought for their land at The Battle of Fallen Timbers against General "Mad
Anthony" Wayne. Wayne County, Fort Wayne, and the Fort Wayne
Mad Ants, all get their name from Anthony Wayne.
In 1790, when the Delaware tribe first arrived at their new home on the White River they established a village, they called it Munsee Town. A trading post was soon available, it would come to be known as Muncietown. https://www.through2eyes.com/post/2019/09/05/the-making-of-munsee#:~:text=Munsee%20and%20Unami%20are%20two,%3A%22%20or%20%22Minsi.%22
"Appeal to the Great Spirit"
Chief William Anderson?
(Born in Pennsylvania to a Swedish
father and the daughter of great Delaware Chief)
"Passing of the Buffalo"
- So, could Muncie/Munsee Indiana be related to the French/British Monceaux/Moncy/Mouncy family?
- Which then means the Muncie/Munsee tribe is descendant of the Jews from 700 B.C.?
- Thus, just like the Book of Mormon says; the American tribes are some of the Lost Tribes of Israel?
- And did Jesus stop by the Americas first before he ascended to heaven as mentioned in the Book of Mormon?
I’ll let
my readers decide.
Funny Note: There is a prescription medication
called “Moncy” LOL.
