Our Blood's Crying Out - Second Part
Could God be up to something with this business of
DNA and the blood of millions of Sephardic Jews
crying out in these troubled times we live in? I think so!
In my News Blurb last month I stated that 60% of all
Hispanic men happen to have a Sephardic Jewish
DNA. Frankly, when I discovered this fact it literally
boggled my brain because I'd been opposing
the "experts" in genealogy. Most of them were saying
that around 10% of Hispanic/Latinos have Sephardic
roots. I was saying that it was closer to 20%. When
you throw this figure into the context of the hundreds of
millions of Latinos in the Western Hemisphere,
including Iberia, this 20% becomes a huge mountain
of Sephardic Jews that are waking up after a 500 year
slumber of living a false identity.
As I made this incredible discovery I rushed to my
DNA test result lists based on the DNA project I
oversee in association with a reputable lab in
Houston, Texas. As I began to develop some simple
tables and charts for my findings in conjunction with
the most recent scholarly work in progress which
focuses on Sephardic DNA, I made a few more
discoveries which I'm itching to share with you.
As I worked on my main Sephardic DNA table I found
that almost 50% of all the Hispanic/Latino men who
took a DNA test with us came out to be Sephardic
without a doubt. But I then found that there is a good
sprinkling of other Sephardic DNA haplogroups
among our test results. In fact, I even found that we
have a few men that tested out to probably have a
Cohanim factor. (I say probably because I'm
awaiting final, scientific evidences; but I feel quite
confident that I'm on target.) In other words these
men are direct descendants of Israel's first high priest
named Aaron, the brother of Moses.
After reviewing our test results over and over again, I
made another amazing discovery that almost
three out of every four men (71%) that took a
DNA test in our project have definite Sephardic Jewish
roots. (I am working on putting together a simple,
abbreviated manual which explains everything I'm
saying with the aid of definitions, tables and charts. I
hope to make it available in the days to come.)

I think it's utterly significant that hundreds of years
ago, many of our Spanish forefathers married Jewish
women and embraced their wife's faith. In many
instances, their children were raised to live as
Sephardic Jews. However, because of the atrocities of
the anti-Semitic persecutions and holocausts of the
Spanish and the Portuguese Inquisitions; and their
subsequent expulsion from Iberia, many of their
descendants grew up living as Crypto Jews, or Jews
in hiding or secret Jews. This behavior has prevailed
for over five centuries and also includes Mexico and
other Latin American countries because the Spanish
Crown established Inquisitions (holocausts) in most
every country south of our American borders. And we
mustn't forget that New Mexico also had an Inquisition
which so few know about.
So I return to my initial question: could God be
up to something with this business of DNA and the
blood of millions of Sephardic Jews crying out in
these troubled times? Why is this truth
coming out after half a millennium or over 500 years?
Could God be raising up a forerunner of the lost
tribes - not merely the Ten Lost Tribes but the lost
remnant of the Two tribes known as Benjamin and
Judah - and not to forget the remnant of Levi and
Simeon that remained faithful to King David?
