  Shalom, you made it to the television area.  I'm glad you're here.  The first thing I want to share is this is the place where I can introduce you to select key topics that you need to know in order to strengthen your foundation in the Torah (Bible) & gain insight into key prophetic events that may take place in the near future.  
     
       It will be up to you to search further. 
I can only do so much using multi-media online.  The depth of the topics are too much to cover without watching a series of videos or reading a series of books or in-depth web pages.  Be sure to also visit The Study Room and The Big Screen.
     Solomon's Porch is intended to provide you a breadth and depth of resources on- line.  The sites I include in the "Programs and Teachings" are selected because I believe there is an anointing in many of the teachings.  As you and I know, not all the teachings are 100% correct.  I strongly believe I can highlight important themes & principles being taught and help you discern to catch potential errors.
 
       Consider me a "general practitioner" of

  the scriptures.  That is, I have a broad understanding of the key principles and themes taught and can guide you to important teachings to get a "specialist's" view of a particular area of scripture.  There are three areas I know very well, Biblical Timekeeping, Marriage & Justice.

       My father was a physician who was a general practitioner & made referrals to specialists when needed.  He used his blessings & birthright in medicine.  My desire, Yah Willing, is to use it to teach Torah.  I'm convinced, as a Levite, there is an anointing that comes with the blessings & birthright in the Levitical lineage.  Specific blessings & birthrights were given to the Twelve Tribes of Israel & they are valid today & carry over to those who attach themselves to Israel.  This precept must be understood by anyone who says they follow the E-l-ohim of Avraham, Yitzhak & Yaacov.
     My ancestry is of the Tribe of Menashe & Levi.  The videos on this page cover the return of the Lost Tribe of Menashe to Israel.  Join me below for a short commentary and then on Facebook later.
 
     
 



 
My Heritage:

I include this for the benefit of those who may be inquisitive. 

I was born in Rangoon, Burma and I am of Bnei Menashe and Bnei Levi.  My family roots may also have Zebulon as a part of the heritage.  If you want to learn more about the Ten Lost Tribes, the main menu offers a reference to Moshiach.com (Programs & Teachings > Teachings > Moshiach.com) or Shavei Israel (MY LIVING ROOM > Shavei Israel) or Beth HaDerech (MY LIVING ROOM > Beth HaDerech).  Shavei Israel is actively involved in helping to return the Ten Lost Tribes to Israel as they are found.

My father, Dr. Aung, was the 11th of 11 sons and only survivor of his family. During World War II, and subsequent periods after that, my father's 10 brothers and two sisters died.  Because of the bombs dropped from the sky into villages, my grandfather had to protect his wife and children by hiding them in the jungle along with many others seeking refuge.

When the British advanced into Burma in combat against the Japanese, they took over a small village where my grandfather was an elder.  They handed over the governor's mansion to my grandfather and relied on my grandfather's leadership of the town.  In reflection of this, after recognizing my roots, it was as if Ephraim (Britain/USA), Menashe's brother came to help him.  I view myself as one of those of Bnei Menashe being brought back to my brother Ephraim who is the greater, represented by a remnant in the USA.  My grandfather migrated to Burma from India by escaping on foot.

My father was a dorm-mate of a recent prime minister (president) of Burma.  During a visit back to Burma for a government sponsored medical conference, the prime minister, after about 30 years of not seeing my father, recognized who he was.  Obviously the two had different outlooks and goals in life although they lived in the same college dorm; one went the direction of socialist politics of Burma and the other into medicine; seeking to leave Burma and find comfort in Western democracy.  My father's outlook significantly influenced my earlier years growing up.

In my late teens, when I learned that a close relative, an "uncle," was the Ambassador to the United States from Burma, I took an interest in politics.  For this reason, George Washington University in Washington, DC was the university of choice.  This interest only went as far as doing an internship in Congress and pursuing radio-television/journalism.  It was fun covering some interesting stories in the Nation's Capitol.  Obviously, that appeal never fully took root.  Instead, I returned to Chicago and pursued a business degree; receiving a Master of Business Administration from Keller Graduate School of Management.
 

 
   Extra
I was born in April 1967 close to the season of Pesach.  In 1971-1972, my father brought the family to the United States and we settled in Chicago.  I was five years old then.  I am now over 42 and have been awakened to my heritage despite cultural odds and now try to keep Torah principles as best I can.  I grew up in the Midwest in the suburbs of Chicago and was raised very American.  My father raised us to fully embrace the American way.  As a result, I did not pay attention to the culture of my origin for most of my life.  My family was not religious but instead embraced the the entrepreneurial spirit and business/entertainment culture of the nation.  I was awakened to the reality of the Torah at age 32. 

After discovering the Torah and the prophecies therein, I reflected on my grandfather's experience during World War II in the jungles.  Now, I find myself in the same position my grandfather was as World War III approaches.  It was a surreal realization when I first reflected on this.

Abba has shown me my heritage in many different and interesting ways since the year 2000.  One of the most memorable was when my first-born son was born on Yom Kippur in 2003.  This was three days earlier than when the doctor forecast his birth for the first day of Sukkoth almost seven months before.

I now share the good news of the return of the Lost Tribes of Israel, testimonies in the Torah and the soon coming of Moshiach.

Y-H-V-H willing, I intend to include additional teachings or presentations here in "MY LIVING ROOM" so check back in from time to time.

Why Is This Video Presentation Crucially Important?

This video is extremely important for each person who claims they want to follow the E-l-ohim of Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaacov.  It is important because it is the foreshadow of one of the greatest events to come in the last days; the Greater Exodus and the re-uniting of the Tribes of Israel from the four corners of the earth.  It is important to remember that this video reveals the remnant of the Ten Lost Tribes that have been preserved for us to witness today.  In light of this, we must know that Israel is dispersed into the world and has been mostly absorbed into society and is now awakening to truths in the Torah (Bible) and grasping a hold of Moshiach. 

Another reason it is important is E-l-ohim chose the Falasha, Black Jews of Ethiopia and Bnei Menashe, the Asian Jews of the India/Burma border to be key forerunners in the Greater Exodus, notwithstanding the initial Exodus of Yehuda in 1948 when the nation of Israel was re-instated. 

Israel is a "melting pot," a multi-racial company of people.  This is not the pre-dominant view or the view that comes to mind of most.  Israel was the authentic and true "melting pot."  Ancient Babylon was a counterfeit to it.  The term "melting pot" resonates in our country's history books.  It was a term I wholeheartedly embraced being brought up in the United States.  I believe the term was first coined to refer to America. 

If you diligently seek out what America represents, you will find very convincing evidence that it represents spiritual Israel.  From my studies and testimonies I have heard, in part, it is the land of Ephraim populated pre-dominantly by four tribes from the Lost Tribes of Israel.

Symbolically the Tent of Meeting was made of red, white and blue coverings.  This represents the colors of the nation of Israel.  Yet, in the Book of Revelation, a book not recognized by Judaism but is recognized as a part of the scriptures in Christianity and Messianic Judaism, the "Whore of Babylon" also symbolically wears the colors red, white and blue.  Through in-depth study, you will realize that the USA is symbolized by the Tent of Meeting as well as the Whore of Babylon.  The picture that comes to my mind is that there is a remnant Israel in America who have a heart for the Torah.

The full video presentation "Quest for the Lost Tribes of Israel" will show you that the pre-dominant migration for the Ten Lost Tribes was into the Asian continent.  This occurred as a result of the Assyrian conquest.  It is extremely important to know this because it gives you insight into the spiritual purpose for the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan and now possibly with Iran. 

The picture that comes to my mind is that the descendents of the Lost Tribes who may have been completely absorbed into the central and far East Asian cultures are being prepared to be freed by E-l-ohim.  The nations involved in these wars do not realize what they are accomplishing, in part, for E-l-ohim.  Islamic and other pagan strongholds are being torn down; opening a new territory.  There will be many Israelites returning to the Torah who are now Moslem such as the Pathans of Afghanistan.  You will learn more about this in the full version of the video.  You can discover a little more online at http://www.Dangoor.com/74069.html or Google keywords such as "Pathans, Israel, etc."

Based on all that I have reviewed to date, there is strong evidence that the remnant of the Ten Tribes that remained in Judah were later dispersed into Europe by the Roman conquest.  This is a separate study and is quite involved.  You have to trace the lineage through detailed word studies. 

I cannot develop these other themes but offer them to you for your own search.  This page is focused primarily on the Bnei Menashe.  I have other material related to this discussion but I am not prepared at this time to present it.

A Few Words:

Again, I want you to know I'm providing a limited personal heritage for the benefit of the people who are more inquisitive.  I am a private person and prefer to keep to myself, my family, close friends and those who are sincere adherents to the principles in the Bible.  I teach/present very specific topics because at this point in my life I know there are important principles and themes brought to my attention by E-l-ohim that I have an obligation to share.  In my observation, there are important themes and principles of relevance in the Torah that are not being widely taught in synagogues, messianic congregations and churches.

I hope this testimony, teachings and presentations will help you overcome any false testimonies, false teachings, cynical views, biased views, prejudiced views publicized out there by those who are unlearned in the scriptures or have stepped beyond the bounds of their calling and area of knowledge. 

The signs in the stars for the Tribe of Levi are the scales of justice (Libra).  The twelve constellations correspond to the Twelve Tribes.  The anointing that comes with the Tribe of Levi is the ability to balance Torah principles and themes more perfectly when that individual is submitted to E-l-ohim and is well studied in Torah.  The anointing is to perform justice in matters of Torah principles and social matters.

In Hebrew, the word Levi is spelled לוי (Lamed ל-Vav ו-Yod י).  The name of the tribe begins with ל (Lamed).  Lamed, in part, symbolizes the staff of teaching.  The word "teach" in Hebrew is “lee-med.”  Lamed is at the center of the Alephbet like the כ (Kaf).  It is the 11th letter in from the ת (Tav).  The כ (Kaf) is the 11th letter in from the א (Alef).  Eleven, in one dimension, is the number of witness.  Lamed is symbolically compared to a lighthouse or watchtower; such is the role of a Levite, a watchman.   

The letter Lamed is comprised of two other Hebrew letters; the ו (Vav) and כ (Kaf).  The sum value of these two letters is 26; the same value for Y-H-V-H.

It is written, that Jeroboam, the Israelite king of the northern Ten Tribes “
…made shrines on the high places, and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi; 1 Kings 12:31-32.  It is written, "Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, the work of the tabernacle of meeting; Numbers 18:21

It is written "
And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment.  You shall do according to the sentence which they pronounce upon you in that place which the LORD chooses.  And you shall be careful to do according to all that they order you to do.  According to the sentence of the law in which they instruct you, according to the judgment which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left from the sentence which they pronounce upon you;" Deuteronomy 17:9-11.

It is written, "
You shall appoint judges & officers in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment.  You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.  You shall follow what is altogether just;" Deuteronomy 16:18-20.

It is written "
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and knowledgeable men, and made them heads over you, leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, leaders of fifties, leaders of tens, & officers for your tribes.  Then I commanded your judges at that time, saying, 'Hear the cases between your brethren, & judge righteously between a man & his brother or the stranger who is with him;' " Deuteronomy 1:15-16.

From these verses is derived the principle that one must be anointed to teach the Torah in completeness and in balance; this is justice.  There is an order of government in E-l-ohim's creation.  It is true that all must take part in teaching the Torah, but only anointed shepherds are able to teach the Torah in its fullness; therefore you have judges.  The tribe of Levi holds the blessings and birthrights which underscores all other related precepts associated with qualification to teach.  A Gentile believer may be attached to the tribe of Levi; discernment will come by the leading of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). 

There is a lot more to this testimony in order to bring balance.  Other important considerations include weighing the principles of the Melchizedek priesthood versus the Aaronic priesthood, weighing the principles related to the anointing of priest and kings when baptized in Yeshua HaMashiach, gifts of the Spirit, etc.  However, all this is beyond the scope of this presentation.

What is the end result when scripture is not taught in balance? 

You get the Catholic Church where they are excellent in defense of anti-abortion, yet they have a doctrine of celibacy that is the root of sexual dysfunction leading to child molestations; you get re-arrangement of the of the Ten Commandments and worship of saint idols and Mary.  With Mormons you get great emphasis on family values and helping others, but then you also get members involved in talking to the dead as a formal part of a religious temple service.  With the 7th Day Adventists, you get great support for defense of the Sabbath day, but on the other hand there is an unhealthy emphasis on avoiding meat and being a vegetarian.  You get the Church in general, worshiping the E-l-ohim of Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaacov in the pagan settings of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and now a substitute festival in October for Halloween called a "harvest festival."

In Messianic Judaism, you get a great emphasis on returning to the Feasts (the proper Biblical Holy Days), embracing Hebraic roots and Torah; but you get those who support the "Two-House" restoration doctrine and others who appose it; you get others who begin to embrace the Rabbinic traditions that interfere with the commandments in the Torah, others who deny Yeshua HaMashiach as Y-a-huah E-l-ohim in the Flesh; and you get others who deny the existence of a Biblical Patriarchal Plural order in marriage.  Many end up being hypocrites because they say they love Torah, don't really know what the Torah is really saying; and then when faced with the realities of the Torah; shut the ears and the eyes.  Many swing from pagan Christianity to Rabbinic Judaism and get lost somewhere in between. 

In Judaism, you have synagogues that offer excellent liturgy services as we would have experienced 2,000 years ago, yet some are allowing homosexual marriages and allowing eating pork pepperoni pizzas in the synagogue.

This is a small sampling of the imbalance caused by professing teachers that have not been called by E-l-ohim and do not have the anointing to impart the scriptures in justice.

The good news is, I am seeing more coming out of the darkness and into the light as an increase in true shepherds begin to take root; teach and lead the flock in light of the outpouring of E-l-ohim's Spirit in these last days.

Even better news is; E-l-ohim's government will be administered by the 144,000 and Two Witnesses during the 3.5 year Great Tribulation; these will be the true shepherds in the season of the Greater Exodus.  This ministry has begun to take root; is evolving, and will be sealed at the onset of the Great Tribulation when the 144,000 and Two Witnesses will walk in echad.

Blessings in the Name of the E-l-ohim of Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaacov,


Yakov Levi
Bondservant in Yeshua HaMashiach
