Blessed Love,
here we will give some more overstanding about the subject of Ysrayl. This a very Important issue that has a a big role in how our societies function worldwide. People all over the world, whether it be Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindu’s, etc. even people without a religious faith have been (willingly or unwillingly, aware or unaware) greatly influenced by the Bible. The norms and values of many of our societies have been built on the foundations of this book. Wars have been fought and countries have been formed because of it. People have found Joy and sorrow because of it, whatever the case these scriptures (written by Ysraylites) have had a lot of influence in of how we live in this world together.
So we feel it is Important to know who original Yraylites were in the past and who the remnant of ancient Ysrayl are in our present times. Some people might think it’s only the commonly known Jews who are true descendants of the Hebrew Ysraylites, but there are more groups that know they are a part of these ancient Tribes.

We know many people would prefer to ignore or avoid this information because of the negative thoughts that this subject can generate. Because if we look at distant and recent history and see the wrong doings that have been committed in the name of the Bible, the wars, oppression and lies, it is overstandable that this can create some aversion within people. 
People also might want to avoid this subject because they simply find it too hard to believe and accept. We have only been taught from one perspective about this in our past history. It’s only been in the last 100 years or so that other groups then the Jews have made a claim to Ysraylite heritage, so it is also overstandable that it is hard to let go of that inbred belief that it is only the Jews.
There are naturally also people that see the positive side of this, the ones who have something to gain by being a part of the heritage for instance or the ones that can see the benefits of truth being revealed and what it can do to heal wounds that have been created in the past. But it seems more like people avoid the subject about the claim of  Ysrayl and the Ible, possibly asking themselves why bother? is that really so important? Are we not all YAH’s children? why do you want to be special, being the chosen ones? Or think that it will only create more unrest. At least these type of questions is what we have heard many times over the years. 
We can overstand why people have these feelings, but that gives us more reason to say something about it. Because the Bible and the Ysraylites are not here to generate these negative feelings and thoughts. It is something positive when we know the whole truth about it. 
If ones would like to know how all the negativity about this subject can change in to something positive with great promise for us all, then we suggest to let go of all preconceptions, be open minded and non judgmental and ones might see the importance of addressing this issue.
We don’t want to see any more unrest or animosity between any of the parties involved so we will Raspect every ones viewpoint, wont judge and have a peaceful approach to the whole matter. Creating war, animosity and bad feelings is not something that the Ysraylites were chosen to be the source of.
So this information is not going to be about who is Not a true Ysraylite.
But more to give everyone a chance to be who he or she wants to be without being judged for that (that is something we should leave in the hands of YAH). 
Still we will have to speak our truth and the truth can hurt sometimes, but this is something that needs to be accepted. We will present all groups fairly so people can get a deeper overstanding about this subject and therefore have a more objective opinion about the matter.
 
WHO ARE THE REMNANT OF ANCIENT YSRAYL TODAY?

Basically there are 3 ethnic groups that are claiming to be descendants of Ysrayl.
1. The Caucasian Jews who móst people consider to be the direct descendants of Ysrayl and are worldwide acknowledged to be so. They consist out of 2 different main groups. 
* The Ashkenazi Jews (who mostly originate from Poland, Russia, Ukraine and some other countries in that region) about 65 to 75% of the Jewish population in the world are Ashkenazi.
* The Sephardim Jews, which seem to be more of mixed group (Caucasian, Arab and African), who mostly originated in Spain and Portugal from the time when the Moors were living there.
2. The Arab Jews who were living in Ysrayl before there was a mass movement of Ashkenazi and Sephardim Jews to Ysrayl after the 2nd world war.
* They are known as the Mizrahim Jews and live in countries like Yemen, Morocco, Irak, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Syria, Libanon, Turkey, a.o.).   
3. A variety of African groups. 
There are a couple of Black Hebrew Ysraylite groups functioning independent from each other. 
* One of them are The Beta Israel from Ethiopia, also called Falasha sometimes, who know and have proven through DNA testing that they are descendants from the original Ysraylites,
* The Lemba tribe in South Africa have Hebrew customs and have also proven by DNA studies to be descendants from Ysrayl (just as the Beta Israel). 
* The Akan tribes from Ghana are known to have Hebrew roots and still keep some Hebrew customs. There are about 10 Akan tribes the Ashanti being one of them (This is where the Rastafari Bobo Shanti get the name and from) there are over 20 million Akan people.
* The Igbo tribe from Nigeria is another large remnant, and also have many Hebrew customs, there are about 60 million Igbo
* Then we have the Black Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem founded by Ben Ammi Ben Israel and have been living in Israel (Dimona) for many years now, not fully accepted... but are starting to become a part of Israels culture more and more. 
* There are also other Black Hebrew Israelites groups, mostly in the USA, who are best known for preaching on the streets of America about their faith. They are often quite militant and might seem a bit harsh sometimes in their expressions and are therefore not very appealing to many people, but they have a role in the fulfillment of the scriptures having gained all the information that is needed to give us a different viewpoint about who the Ysraylites are today. They have done extensive research and we can all benefit from that even if we might not agree with their approach.
* There are some African Churches in the USA and Africa that minister about the African connection with Ysrayl.
* Rastafari have also found InI roots and identity in the Bible and it is widely acknowledged within Rastafari that we are the descendants of the ancient Hebrew Ysraylites. Although this is not common knowledge and accepted by all Rastafari there is a large group that knows this, and live by it. 

There are some more smaller groups that make claims to the Ysraylite heritage we will add them in due time. So we have all these different groups with different ethnic backgrounds claiming to be the descendants of Ysrayl. How are we to know who the original root is? 

PHYSICAL

It is impossible to see if someone is a descendant from Ysrayl by looking at skin color or other physical trademarks, as this can change greatly over years. 
Genetically speaking anyone could be a descendant from Ysrayl. It can take only two or three generations for an Africans man or woman’s offspring to look more white then black if that child and its offspring would only have white partners after that, so think about what 2000 years of integration can produce…all colors, shapes and sizes… Usually African characteristics tend to stay on the forefront longer because African DNA is dominant over European DNA. But eventually this will fade away if a minority or an individual integrates in to a larger group for a long period of time. So we can imagine that if there were dark skinned African Ysraylites in Europe 2000 years ago they could have turned into how Jews look today (like the Sephardim Jews who still have dark characteristics often having woolly hair and dark eyes, and even Ashkenazi who have less of these characteristics). We might have personal opinions about who is a true Ysraylite or not, but when looking at someone individually we can’t make that judgment call, we can’t prove anything and should have the overstanding that there is a possibility that Anybody can have sóme Hebrew blood in them.

DNA TESTING

DNA experts are the ones most likely who could give an answer to this question. The only problem is that there are no DNA samples from Ysraylites living 3000 or 2000 years ago. The DNA used today to determine if someone is genetically a Ysraylite derives from people who have been seen as Ysraylites, but are not necessarily closest to the root. The DNA from modern day Jews was taken (for instance from the Cohen branch especially, as they claim to be direct descendants from the priesthood of Aaron, and are therefore less influenced by other genetics ass members from the priesthood are less likely to marry outside their own race and therefore more pure they say). Based on this DNA the determination was made and then compared with other ethnic groups. What they also could have done, is take DNA samples from the Lemba in South Africa or from the Beta Israel Jews in Ethiopia as Prime DNA sample and then do studies based on that DNA and see who their closest relatives are. They have compared the DNA of the Beta Israel and Lemba’s with Jews and found that they áre related although they are not the closest of relatives. Mizrahim, Sephardim and Ashkenazi are more closely related to each other. 
In any case this is very scientific and also unreliable as genetic testing is not very accurate yet. So people would have to take a DNA test to divine who they are but this is not very realistic (especially because we don’t have any Proven ancient Ysraylite DNA to compare anybody with). So we wouldn’t recommend taking this path to find out who the original Hebrews are, as it can be misleading.
  
BIBLICAL/SPIRITUAL SIGNS

If we stay true to Biblical scripture and have faith in what is written, we might find an answer how to find or identify Ancient Ysraylites in these times. As the Ysraylites are bound by certain spiritual principles made in past covenants mentioned in the Bible, and who’s history and future are shown clearly within the scriptures. When we compare scripture with actual facts, answers might come to light. Looking at these signs, there is a group of people that fit within the scriptures better then others. This is where the truth can hurt because it might take away validity from some. Still we want to stay tolerant to the believe of others, so we don't want to say definitively that if one does not exactly fit within the scriptures, that they are not part of it.
This way of looking at the question though is empowering for certain groups and will naturally diminish others, but this shouldn’t be a problem for honest and wise people and might even give some new insight why things are in the bad state as they are. And a possibility to grow and move forward with more peace and love.

MIXED BLOOD

These are some examples of how Ysraylite Blood mixed with other nations in the world and is therefore difficult to detect.
* First is when Ysrayl got overthrown by the assyrians (700 BC) and babylonians about (500 BC). Many Ysraylites were captured and taken to those foreign lands and eventually (in some cases) integrated with the population there. The ones who didn’t get captured or killed most probably fled to surrounding countries like Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Ethiopia and other parts of Africa (as they knew these countries already) and integrated into those societies.
* There was a large group of Ysraylites that returned to Ysrayl from babylon after their captivity there (and probably formed mixed offspring with them too). Around 6 AD Ysrayl got overthrown again by the romans and then scattered around that area after Yerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD. Although many Ysraylites were killed and some taken as slaves to italy, naturally there would still have been a remnant that managed to escape this persecution (it is very unlikely that the romans killed or enslaved évery Ysraylite). These Ysraylites fled deeper in to Africa and started to mix more with the other African tribes and evolved in to large communities there (like the Akan from Ghana, Igbo from Nigeria and Lemba in South Africa).
* Somewhere around 640 AD The Arab Muslims conquered huge stretches of land in Africa enslaving and mixed with the African-Ysraylites for more than 1000 years. There were a lot of African/Hebrew/Arab mixed Muslims that conquered Europe in 711 AD called the Moors. The Moors were very favorable towards the few Ysraylites already living in Spain at that time, and this is known to be the golden age for Jews in Spain, this remnant is known as the Sephardi (Spanish) Jews. 
* When the European slave trade started even more dramatic mixing came into existence. The people were taken from areas where a lot of the ancient Hebrews had big settlements (some of them probably not even knowing they had these roots, after 1000 years of Muslim domination). Slave traders came, tearing families apart (fathers, mothers and children were often separated) creating random new ones with people from all kinds of different tribes being put together, scattered all over the world. The slave masters would often rape the enslaved woman and made children with them. It also happened that less cruel slave masters would integrate their African offspring in to their own white family (this might have been rare, but it happened). Because of all these things there is a lot of mixed Ysraylite blood out in the world (especially among African people). So we can never determine anymore who is who, physically…
What this means is that Everyone has to decide for them self who they want to be. If a Jew, an Arab or an African feels like he or she has Ysraylite blood let them be…We would only like to see this person act responsible in a way that YAH has intended for us and live according to who they Think they are.     

MUTUAL RASPECT

Now we give Raspect to anyone when it comes to this subject, but would like to see the same from others to. Rastafari (and other groups) know we are from this Royal Linage and don’t need to get clearance or approval in some way from anyone. We know a lot of Jews won’t agree with this, but we suggest taking in this information without judging immediately. Do the research, be open for the possibility that history might be a little different then what you have been taught in the class room, church or synagogue, search in your heart for the Truth. This is also very Important information for the Jewish community, because if there is Any truth in what is said here some big changes need to be made within the Jewish community and personal consciousness. You can reject what is being said here and be Judged for that (when the time is there) or accept your lost brothers and sisters in your heart as being a part of you. We overstand most Jews (and people in general) only know what is being taught in school, at home and in places of worship. If it was never taught that Hebrews are from African descent , then how could you know?

RASTAFARI JEWS BEST FRIEND

Rastafari in general don’t have ill feelings towards Jews personally, some proof of this is in the fact that there are no Reggae songs that say anything bad about Jews, even though there is reason enough to do so because we have overtanding about the issues we are addressing here. Ever since His Majesty Haile Selassie I was crowned we have lived with this awareness of being original Ysraylites and observing someone in our place living a fruitful live, while we are on the bottom financially, spiritually we are doing fine. Never the less we have not persecuted Jews for this and remained humble and meek about this matter, yes we expressed who we are, but we never took on the Jews how we have taken on ones who we feel have done InI wrong. If you compare this with some other pro African groups like the Hebrew Israelites in the USA, the Nation of Islam and many of the African History scholars, there is a tendency to view Jews as white devils who are the root of much of the evil committed in the world. The other African Hebrew groups like the Beta Israel, Igbo, Akan, Lemba and the Black Hebrews in Dimona also have you in their favor and don’t say bad things about you, except maybe some reports of discrimination from the ones living in Israel. Rastafari however is by far the most influential group out of All these groups teaching about African awareness because for one we have a world wide following but mainly because we have the strength that Reggae songs bring that get listened to by many many different people from all over the world, and these songs are timeless, they get played over and over through generations to come, whereas a book or a YouTube video about this subject from a scholar only reaches a view people. We are in general also more popular and respected then these other groups, because we have this whole cool culture that we live by compared to the scholars who are only busy with providing information. So we are very important when is comes to dealing with this matter of who is who and we are showing Raspect to you! That’s why we say we are your best friend...we would suggest to cherish this and be that same friend in return.

This is the moment for us to make a choice, Take notice of the Loving teachings of Rastafari that is leading InI in to the Light (Jew, Gentile, Hebrew etc.) or… keep on believing and living what babylon is trying to achieve.
In any case for many people it is very good to know the truth about this and can hereby be assisted to decide what is truth or not and to be motivated that whatever truth one finds that we still show love and respect to one and other.
We will elaborate more about the subjects in the menu bar on the left in due time for now we have only written something about Rastafari and Ysrayl but the will follow to. Ones can also make a donation to speed up the process if felt this is needed.
