Featuring The
E1B1A HAPLOGROUP CATEGORIZATION
THE TWELVE FAMILIES OF YASHARAHLAH (JACOB'S DESCENDANTS)
Date: December 18, 2025
Authority: Marlon/Paul (Apostle and Final Authority)
Based On: The Twelve Families of Yasharahlah document
Purpose: Correct categorization of E1b1a DNA strands to the Twelve Tribes
According to the Geneva Bible 1599 & King James Versions 1611 & 1618 Genesis 49 & Deuteronomy 33 incl. The Books of the 12 Patriarchs.
*Note & Disclosure: The original 12 tribes sign was given to Apostle Ahraya under the banner of Rabbi Bivens and fully completed w/carefully searched out and researched historically accurate proofs by the Apostle we call Paul (Dr. M.L. Phillips, D.D.; DMETA) through both education & the Spirit (Influence) Yah (of God/Yahawah). While originally taught and introduced to the truth contained within the Scriptures by Apostle Ahraya and Tazadaqyah (Jermaine Grant) while studying at the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ for short a time before the events of 2015, the Apostle and Chairman of TTOTC Inc. and TTOTC Inc. as a company and it's nation, Yasharahlah, with it's affiliate businesses, names, and titles (however) have no affiliation or involvement with any Black Hebrew Israelite camps, sects, churches, groups, or their members. Neither do we have affiliation with any branches, denominations, religious cults of the so-called Christian churches, Apologistic movement or group (Apologist), Muslim mosque cultist (which is not actual Islam), or and so-called temple, church or tabernacle outside of what is stated within the pages of the Scriptures. As we are the actual and real Apostles of the Most High over the real peoples of Yasharahlah & Ishmaelites and all peoples. This is not at our word or opinion. The 12 tribes listed here (as well as all information posted on this website) have been completed and fully vetted, proved and reproved by the Apostle we call Paul, & the Apostle we call John Mark. Both hold Doctorate level degrees and beyond understanding of the Scriptures (126+ books including the Qu'ran) and continue to research, study, expand, apply, master, and teach the discovered learnings, breakdowns, languages and nuances. As the original breakdown was incomplete. This version continues to be updated based on historical updated, DNA (Jacob's Ladder), and verifiable accounts of family records/migration/marriage/empire, etc..
**Note: We do not encourage, teach, or promote racism, radical behavior, so-called anti-semitism (there is no such thing in the Scriptures), womanizing (as multiple marriage is fully explained and taught by the Scripture & society standards), pedophilia (which is fiercely prohibited), rebellion against governments (Christ will overturn nations as he see fit as stated in the Scriptures). We, also, will not tolerate being accused of doing such either. The main role of Yasharahlah as a people and a kingdom/nation is to learn, master, and teach the Words of the Master of all Power as the ensamples in all countries in any tongue we choose to use or relay the real message.
*WARNING NOTE: This article is the preverbal "Nail in the coffin" for all of those who think they know what they call "God's plan" really is. We can assure you that now (without a shadow of doubt) you will absolutely know.
