Due to the latest Canada Post strike, we have made all issues of the TKC Magazine available on our website. Normally, we are two months behind on publishing the magazine to the website because we like our readers to appreciate the print version first. However, due to these special circumstances, we have expedited the process. You can click here to view the 2025 editions.

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.
So, this most important prophecy, the high-water mark of prophetic understanding, could be either literal or spiritual, fulfilled in Jeremiah’s time, or Christ’s sacrifice, or else awaiting the coming millennium. Utter confusion reigns among leading New Testament scholars!
It is troubling that mainstream Christianity today seems to have lost its sense of mission and evangelism. The attitude of many modern evangelicals and fundamentalists is that evangelization—or proselytism, as now disparagingly labeled—is wrong. “We must accept each other as we are. We must candidly remain as we are.”
In Daniel 12:7, a section of Scripture titled, “The Time of the End” in our King James Bibles, we read, “it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.”
Was Balaam an historical figure? The Biblical Background Commentary reports, “In 1967 a Dutch archaeological expedition led by H. J. Franken discovered some inscribed pieces of plaster at a site in Jordan known as Deir ‘Allah. The fragments are apparently written in Aramaic and date to about 850 B.C. They mention Balaam son of Beor, the same figure described as a “seer” in Numbers 22-24.
Colin Renfrew, late professor of archaeology at the University of Southampton, England, revealed over forty years ago these significant early trade relations. He wrote of “the evidence afforded by the finds of certain small imported objects which serve as a direct link between prehistoric Britain and the Mediterranean world.
Those who say the promises to Israel are to a “spiritual” and not a literal Israel. God’s oath to Abraham made his seed a nation, and Jesus confirmed this when He said to the literal people of Judah, “The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation,” etc. (Matt. 21:43)
God’s chosen nation had become divided into two kingdoms upon the death of Solomon: the northern ten-tribe kingdom of the house of Israel, and the southern two-tribe kingdom of Judah.
In the same vein, the late nineteenth-century Anglican minister, Rev. Robert Douglas, remarked, “If the clergy accepted the Anglo-Israel theory, it would necessitate the relegation of nine-tenths of their old sermons and commentaries to the wastepaper basket.” Few would be willing to do that!
E.W. Bullinger’s Companion Bible makes it clear that the two houses are still separate entities when they enter the Promised Land from the North, the location of exiled Israel: “In those days the house of Judah shall go unto the house of Israel, that they may enter at the same time out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.”
An “east wind” blows westward, taking away with it everything that is moveable in its destructive path. Here is a prophetic intimation that the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, although taken to Babylon initially, would ultimately be scattered westward, not eastward to Afghanistan or China as some expositors suggest.
