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.

There is no question that Israel’s lost tribes, even in their paganized state, had a definite form of religion with an earnest attitude of worship and endurance. Yet in their Gentilized condition they still retained vestiges of their Old Testament religion and culture, as is made abundantly clear in our studies, “The Old Testament Roots of Norse, Greek and Celtic Mythology” published in three parts.
The New Bible Dictionary says, “Shela, son of Arpahchshad of the family of Shem, and father of Eber (Gen. 10:24; 11:12-15; 1 Chron. 1:18-24).
Psalm 97 belongs to the circle of millennial psalms referring to our Lord’s Second Coming to reign. According to Reformation leader, Theodore Beza (1519–1605), this psalm is “the most highly prized of all that prefigure Christ’s return, as containing a most divine epitome of all gospel mysteries.” Beza was a French Calvinist Protestant theologian, reformer…

The Lord would recover, redeem, or restore (Heb., qanah, Strong’s H7069) His people “the second time.” What were these two promised restorations of Israel?
