THE ENSIGN MESSAGE

FINLAND: AN ISRAELITISH NATION – OF ISSACHAR!

By

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.

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 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.

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. Wrong!

Davidy’s use of the expression “Turko-Finn” is sirnply 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 paper.

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, 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.

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. Jobwas 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?

Another purpose in writing this paper 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 Jesus 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 then 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” civilisations. 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” civilisations.

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.

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.

There are other, more recently published comments as well. 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 Sceptre 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 the Lord, 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 recognised, 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 thee 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 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 en route 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. 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”.

Richmond Stuart also points out that events in history have conflrmed an invincibility in all of these ancient Israel people that 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: 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.

In Finland we saw one of these 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. 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 unfavourably.

Those ancient historic events at Mt. Sinai, where only these Chosen Israelite people were present (they agreed in contract with 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 – God is Fair in His dealings with all men.

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 fibre 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.

But for the doubters and the fearful, doubt can be resolved, as Jesus 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/he 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 Jesus 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 ofour modern era, but many Christians are still blinded in part – to their true Identity. Still, some are awakening, as St. 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!

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 fulfilment 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 God’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 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 Jesus said that He was only sent, and those to whom He directed His disciples to only go!

“Remember these, 0 Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant I have formed thee; thou art my servant: 0 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 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 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 paper, and for those in whom its content and message ignites interest and a concern for their own status, there is other relevant data available.

Thanks For Listening!
