The above title may seem strange. But it basically refers to an historical study that I have come across in my research of so many topics. Using written records, and a lot of research on the net. With such as Wikipedia. As I cover each letter above in the title, keep in mind whether you find anything in the seven letters, that even closely relates to the promises made to the tribes of Israel, regarding their “future second homes”, after their being removed from their first homes. History covers their “migrations” quite well. 1) “E”. This refers to the tribe of Esau, but specifically to the tribe of “E”dom. Which is the name of those descended from Esau, via his marriage to his two Canaanite wives And as we know, Edom and his younger brother Jacob did not get along all that well. This being as a result of Jacob receiving the birthright from him, by giving him a meal. As well, their mother Rebekah, who sealed the hatred of her son Esau against her son Jacob. Basically, forcing Jacob into a state of slavery for some twenty or so years. 2) “E.I.”. Here we actually begin the story. For it begins in the mid 200’s BC. At the beginning, the Judean Israelites living in their homeland, were at the mercy of both Syria and Egypt. Each having been given their inheritance, as generals of Alexander the Great’s army. But it was at this period of time, that an army from “Parthia” invaded the land. Parthia referring to the parts (10%) of the tribes of Israel, that had been taken captive by Assyria, and settled in the lands that would later become the Persian Empire. With Persia’s defeat by Greece, they began to be the rulers. As the story goes, Parthia invaded Syria, and killed their ruler. They were moving on to do the same to Egypt, when they met up with their “brothers”. They made one of them, a Maccabean (sp) king of Judea, and then moved on to Egypt, where they were defeated. One of the first things this new Maccabean king did, was to form an army, and invade a peoples that were living in their land. Just east of the Salt Sea. These peoples were called “Idumean’s”. Or Edomites. 3) “E.I.H”. The Idumeans became full-fledged “Jews”, by being forced, by the new king, to observe the book of the law of Moses, and also by having to have all of their males “circumcised”. This went on until the time when the Roman armies took over control of Judea. One of the first things they did, was to make one of the Idumean’s “king”. His name was “Herod”. His story is quite well covered in historical writings. He was in power for some 40 years, dying in 4 BC. Then came the time when the Israelite Jews rebelled against Rome, and were defeated by Rome’s armies in 70 AD. Please take note that, at their defeat, all Israelite Jews were expelled from Rome’s borders! Most of them, of course, went east, and joined their brothers in the former Babylon, from whence they had come “back home” in the late 500’s BC. But the “Herodians” did not have to leave. For, during the war they supported Rome, and in several ways, gave the real Israelite Jews up. They continued to live in the land, especially in Egypt. But finally, Rome began to pass laws that were contrary to Moses’ laws. One of those being the forbidding of the circumcision of baby boys. The “E.I.H” Jews rebelled, and were defeated in the early 200’s. At this time, they too, just as the real Israelite Jews, were expelled from Rome’s borders. However, they really had nowhere to go. To the east were Israelites. To the west there were Israelites. These latter being those of the Carthaginian empire. Or, the tribe of Ephraim, half tribe of Manasseh, Simeon, and some of the other northern tribes. The “E.I.H” Jews had no choice but to settle, for a century or so, in a neutral area. This being the former site of the seven Gentile churches. Here they became known of as Ashkenazi’s. A name some even today refer to themselves as being. Ashkenaz was a son of Japheth. And, when the three races left Shinar, Japheth’s children settled in Greece (Javan) and todays Turkey. With Ashkenaz being in the above-mentioned area. 4) “E.I.H.A.” Another level of Edom’s descendancy. But, as mentioned, it was only a century or so that they lived in Ashkenaz’s first settlement. For it was at this time that bad weather and a lot of “Arabic” incursions, caused the True Israelites to have to begin their migrations to their promised “second homes”. Though it would take them some 700 years to arrive there. They basically all settled in northeast Europe until nearly 1100 AD, when William the Conqueror came on the scene. 5) “E.I.H.A.K.”. Note the “K”. This is for Khazar’s. The name given the “E.I.A.H.” gentile Jews, at the time they arrived in the “Steppes of Russia”. For some centuries these Khazars prospered. Being on the site of the trade routes from the east to the west. But note here, which I could have pointed out earlier. These “E.I.H.A.K.” Jews were not accepted by any of the Israelite tribes that migrated out of the middle east. Just as they were not accepted by the True Israelites when they had to migrate out of Rome’s borders. EVEN THOUGH the Israelite Jews of 70 AD were accepted by the other True Israelites. 6) “E.I.H.A.K.R.” Then came the invasion by the eastern hordes. The gentile Jews once again had to migrate. And, as the story is well known today, they settled mostly in eastern Europe, but also in central and western Europe. They lived in these areas until the time of Otto Von Bismarck. For, until Otto came along, the nation of Germany was basically a 100 or so private “states” country. In order for Bismarck to unite them, he used the “Jews” as his main weapon. Or, IOW’s, he used the “Sabbath observers” to help unite the Germans. I will come back to this time of the last half of the 1800’s. But first, take note that, after WW2, some of the Jews that lived through the concentration camps, migrated to Judea. There becoming the “E.I.H.A.K.R.I.” Jews. Which Jews, Scripture shows, will in the future, be attacked by, and destroyed by, the union of the northern Christian nations, and the southern Islam nations. (See: Lk. 21:20) The story of this coming about is very interesting. But now, back to the 1800’s. When the “Jews” were forced out of Germany, most of the “E.I.H.A.K.R.” Jews migrated. Some went back into the steppes of Russia for a couple of decades, (see: Fiddler on the Roof”), many remained in east and west Europe. At the same time, many migrated to other nations. Especially to the US. An individual named Stephen Birmingham, wrote a book about these “E.I.H.A.K.R.” Jews that migrated to the US. The title of the book is “The Rest of Us”. He wrote it at their request. For, he had already written two books regarding the first migration of the Gentile Jews that settled in the US. The first book is “Our Crowd”. Which describes some “Sephardid” (sp) Jews, brothers of the other gentile Jews, that first came in the late 1600’s. They came from Brazil. They were not wanted, but they had something that the Pilgrims did not have. Money! For, these Sephardid Jews were basically “bankers”. And this allowed them to remain. When you think money, think the “Philadelphia Bankers”. They went so far as to support Washington in his war against the English and have remained basically wealthy since. Now back to the late 1800’s. In his book “The Rest of Us”, Birmingham presents “two Jewish migrations”. Between the 1850’s-70’s, some 600,000 “German Jews” came to America. They were Sabbath observers, but to avoid persecution, they changed to the first day of the week. If I recall, they became Episcopalians. Then, from the 1880’s to the first world war, some 6,000,000 “E.I.H.A.K.R.” Jews came to the US. The earlier Sephardic Jews, the wealthy, tried to help them, but the later gentile Jews were quite rowdy. Many becoming criminals and involved in a lot of the “gang warfare”. Though more were in the more general businesses. Manufacturing, etc. Consider how the descriptions that Birmingham gives these two groups of “Jews” that migrated out of Germany to the US. He describes the German Jews as being “taller, slimmer, with lighter skin, hair, and eyes”. While the later arriving “E.I.H.A.K.R.” Jews as being “shorter, stockier, with darker skin, hair, and eyes”. This has been long enough. The reader can believe as they will. But I will close by again mentioning one main point. Nowhere do you find that the God of the True tribes of Israel, ever treated the “E.I.H.A.K.R.I.” Jews, the way he treated “his people”. They were never treated like “his people”. And never will be. (see again: Lk. 21:20 and think “kings of north and south”.)

| Ray appears to write from vague memories of “a lot of research” and refers to a book by Stephen Birmingham “The Rest of Us: The Rise of America’s Eastern European Jews”, the third book in a trilogy of recent American Jewish history. I wonder if actually reading that book was an aspect of his “research” and I suspect that an unnamed polemic may have guided and motivated it. Parthia, rather than being “10%” of Israel, represents the bulk of the ten-tribed House of Israel that had gone into captivity according to Steven M. Collins, who wrote a few books about the post-biblical history of Israel that are popular in Church of God circles. Believers from Parthia figure in the coming of the Holy Spirit at the Pentecost after the resurrection (Acts 2:9) — Parthians mentioned first, likely the major nation of pilgrims), and Collins believes it was representatives from Parthia who brought gifts to Christ at his birth–their coming “disturbing” to Herod and all Jerusalem (Matthew 2:3) (since Parthia and Rome were rival empires, Parthia the superpower to the east, with Roman-Parthian wars at times from about 54 BC to 217 AD according to Wikipedia). Likely the group coming to honor ‘the new king’, he surmises, was accompanied by a contingent of Parthian cavalry. I found his book “Parthia, the Forgotten Ancient Superpower” and its role in Biblical History edifying, along with his other major works. According to “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Christianity”, written by a professor of Christian history, the Episcopalians [the Episcopal Church] developed in America out of the Church of England here in the United States after the American Revolution. Why should anyone be motivated to “research” this E.I.H.A.K.R.I. topic?
