Britain is a mighty company of nations, America is a mighty nation.
2. Tessa from NZ: Judah and Ephraim belong together but...
Shalom Yair
I agree with Cecilia (Brit-Am 1266) that Judah and Ephraim belong together but are at this stage to be different from each other. Just as Judah has no need to convert, so too Ephraim does not need to become Jewish. It is true that some Ephraimites have converted to Judaism after becoming aware of the many theological errors within orthodox Christianity and then perceiving that their only recourse is to convert. But these are unlikely to form the bulk of Ephraim's numbers and probably do not number anything like the several hundred thousand suggested. The many Ephraimites are more likely to systematically rid themselves of error (as best they can) and wait patiently as Cecilia is doing until their identity/role are made clear by the Almighty.
At all events Ephraim is growing fairly quietly into a sizeable population with no earthly leader, camouflaged by their widespread distribution and lack of a humanly organised agenda.

Text for the back cover:
"Tribe 13. Khazars" tells the story of a nation that was once very important on the world scene. There where times when they ruled over substantial areas of Eastern Europe and of Western Asia. They were known for their just and fair dealings and benevolent rule. The Khazars were in Scandinavia and in Scotland amongst the Picts. They converted to Judaism and some of their descendants now belong to the Jewish people. The Khazars descended from Israelite Tribes that had partially lost their identity. They were kinfolk to ethnic groups in Western Europe and what obtains concerning their ancestry also applies to those they were related to. Their rulers came from the Tribe of Manasseh who in some respects may be considered the Thirteenth Tribe. This tribe through its Irish, Scottish, and European offshoots is now dominant in the USA.

4. Robert: Should we also name ourselves after Manasseh?
I was wondering if it might be better for those who adhere to Brit Am beliefs, and can at least feel some level of confidence that they are from, or at least attached to the tribe of Menashe, to re identify themselves as sons of Manassah. This seems to have had good success with the people identified as b'nai manashe in burma.
I ask this question in light of the confusion and mistrust of certain identity groups who call themselves Ephraimites in generic terms or otherwise. Thank You, Robert
Brit-Am Reply:
The term "Ephraim" in the Bible often refers to ALL the Ten Tribes,
e.g. Isaiah 7:17
[Isaiah 7:17] THE LORD SHALL BRING UPON THEE, AND UPON THY PEOPLE, AND UPON THY FATHER'S HOUSE, DAYS THAT HAVE NOT COME, FROM THE DAY THAT EPHRAIM DEPARTED FROM JUDAH; EVEN THE KING OF ASSYRIA.
Jeremiah 31:20
[Jeremiah 31:20] IS EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON? IS HE A PLEASANT CHILD? FOR SINCE I SPAKE AGAINST HIM, I DO EARNESTLY REMEMBER HIM STILL: THEREFORE MY BOWELS ARE TROUBLED FOR HIM; I WILL SURELY HAVE MERCY UPON HIM, SAITH THE LORD.
Ezekiel 37:19
[Ezekiel 37:19] SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BEHOLD, I WILL TAKE THE STICK OF JOSEPH, WHICH IS IN THE HAND OF EPHRAIM, AND THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL HIS FELLOWS, AND WILL PUT THEM WITH HIM, EVEN WITH THE STICK OF JUDAH, AND MAKE THEM ONE STICK, AND THEY SHALL BE ONE IN MINE HAND.
Hosea 11:8-10
[Hosea 11:8] HOW SHALL I GIVE THEE UP, EPHRAIM? HOW SHALL I DELIVER THEE, ISRAEL? HOW SHALL I MAKE THEE AS ADMAH? HOW SHALL I SET THEE AS ZEBOIM? MINE HEART IS TURNED WITHIN ME, MY REPENTINGS ARE KINDLED TOGETHER.
[Hosea 11:9] I WILL NOT EXECUTE THE FIERCENESS OF MINE ANGER, I WILL NOT RETURN TO DESTROY EPHRAIM: FOR I AM GOD, AND NOT MAN; THE HOLY ONE IN THE MIDST OF THEE: AND I WILL NOT ENTER INTO THE CITY.
[Hosea 11:10] THEY SHALL WALK AFTER THE LORD: HE SHALL ROAR LIKE A LION: WHEN HE SHALL ROAR, THEN THE CHILDREN SHALL TREMBLE FROM THE WEST.
The term "Ephraimite" emphasize a distinction from Judah and their own uniqueness.
From that point of view, "Ephraimite" is a good enough term.
We have discussed this issue in the past and despite some difficulties the term seems at present
to be the most acceptable we have.
We may renew the discussion if requested.
