Answer:
Just remember 2-Kings chapters 17 and 18. There it says that all the ten
Tribes were exiled because they went in thew ways of the nations around
them and committed idolatry and every evil practice, etc.
Also see on New Biblical Proof List that was sent to you, under the
heading "Situation"
Proofs nos. 25, 26, 27.
25. Separate from Judah. Isaiah 11:12-13 49:21
26. Not known to Judah Isaiah 49:13-14, 21. Hosea chapter one: Judah
excepted 1:7
27. Christianity Hosea 2:8, 2:13, 2:16 11:12 Notsrim (see Ephraim)
Proof no 27 may be a bit startling, controversial, and complicated for
those unfamiliar with Brit-Am teachings
but proofs nos. 25 and 26 are quite clear and unequivocal.
Other Biblical proofs exist on this subject but that should be more than
enough to begin with.
God bless you

2. Swedish Inventions
From: Örjan Svensson <orjan.svensson@mbox300.swipnet.se>
Subject: Re: Jerusalem News-271
Concerning computers it can be interesting to know that
the "mouse" used with computers is a Swedish invention.
I think it was invented by Hakan Lans. Anyway Mr Lans
is also famous for having invented the flat computer screen,
which made it possible to produce lap-top computers,
and also this same Swedish guy Hakan Lans invented the system
that enables to have colours in computer screens. Earlier
in the 80s, before Lans' invention, it was in principle
only possible to have black-and-white computer screens.
The mobile phone was also largely invented in Sweden.
Osten Makitalo is in Sweden known as the father of the
mobile cellular phone.

4. Ezekiel Reminder
Ezekiel (11:18) hints that first the exiles will return to the Land of
Israel and after that they shall put away their idols and keep the Law
(11:20). Ezekiel says that Judah has an obligation to help the Lost Ten
Tribes return. The complete return of Judah is dependent upon the return of
Samaria (16:53, 55, 61) meaning the Ten Tribes especially Manasseh.
Manasseh today is mainly the USA. God will renew His covenant with Judah
and with Israel (16:62).
[Ezekiel 11:17] THEREFORE SAY, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL EVEN GATHER
YOU FROM THE PEOPLE, AND ASSEMBLE YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE YE HAVE
BEEN SCATTERED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
Eisemann understands this following passage to be referring to all of
Israel, including the Lost Ten Tribes.
Malbim: In the future God will ingather the Ten Tribes who were in faraway
lands and did not return in the time of the Second Temple.
Ramban (Nachmanides) holds the same view we have been quoting that the
prophecies are understandable on two levels:
1. The message potentially could have been fulfilled partly in the very
time of Ezekiel if the people would have repented; and
2. The complete fulfillment of the Prophecy of reconciliation will only
happen in the time of the Messiah.
[Ezekiel 11:18] AND THEY SHALL COME THITHER, AND THEY SHALL TAKE AWAY ALL
THE DETESTABLE THINGS THEREOF AND ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THEREOF FROM THENCE.
The exiles (from the Ten Tribes) will remove their idols and cease their
paganism in their places of exile
OR ELSE:
They shall first come back to the land and then they shall cast aside their
idols?
This last understanding seems most in line with the literal sense of the verse.
[Ezekiel 16:53] WHEN I SHALL BRING AGAIN THEIR CAPTIVITY, THE CAPTIVITY OF
SODOM AND HER DAUGHTERS, AND THE CAPTIVITY OF SAMARIA AND HER DAUGHTERS,
THEN WILL I BRING AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF THY CAPTIVES IN THE MIDST OF THEM:
<<THE CAPTIVITY OF SODOM AND HER DAUGHTERS>>: Moshkovitz (Daat
Mikra) suggests that this refers to the revival of the Land of Canaan.
Sodom was overturned and all the area around destroyed. So too, after the
Roman conquest and the Arab and Turkish occupation was most of the Land
turned into a wasteland without trees or greenery. The British and the Jews
restored it in part. The State of Israel is continuing to do so but not as
much nor as well as it should be. We have also been responsible for
ecological abuses that should be corrected. There is much that could and
should be done.
Malbim says here that at the return Samaria and Sodom(?) will be the most
important section of the Israelite nation whereas Judah will be pulled
after them and returned through them. He repeats this message in 16:55.
The Lost Ten Tribes will return. Manasseh will return. The exiles of Judah
who remained in exile will return together with the Lost Ten
Tribes.
Abarbanel (1435-1509): The Ten Tribes will return to Samaria and its
daughter-regions and so will the scattered dispersion of Judah be gathered
in from the four corners of the earth.
[Ezekiel 16:55] WHEN THY SISTERS, SODOM AND HER DAUGHTERS, SHALL RETURN TO
THEIR FORMER ESTATE, AND SAMARIA AND HER DAUGHTERS SHALL RETURN TO THEIR
FORMER ESTATE, THEN THOU AND THY DAUGHTERS SHALL RETURN TO YOUR FORMER
ESTATE. UNTIL NOW THEY ARE STILL OVERTURNED AND HAVE NOT RETURNED UNTO
THEIR FORMER STATE.
This is a message for Judah: In order for Judah to realize
herself and to bring back all her exiles and rehabilitate herself Judah
must also seek the Lost Ten Tribes and cause them to return! This is
important to Judah for her own sake! It is also hinting that rehabilitation
of the Land itself is somehow connected with the return of the Lost Ten
Tribes. See our Commentary on Isaiah 56:8 and Hosea chapter six, where we
have explained that according to prophecy: part of Judah would return to
the Land and begin to build it up. Then the Lost Ten Tribes would return in
two stages together with the remnant of Judah. The first part of this
process is well on its way.
<<SODOM AND HER DAUGHTERS, SHALL RETURN TO THEIR FORMER ESTATE, AND SAMARIA
AND HER DAUGHTERS SHALL RETURN TO THEIR FORMER ESTATE>>: Malbim:
[addressing Judah] For they [the Lost Tribes] shall be the most important
section in the returning and you subservient to them, and you shall return
through them.
Abarbanel: There is no doubt that this promised ingathering will occur in
the Times of the Messiah. Until now it has never been fulfilled.
[Ezekiel 16:61] THEN THOU SHALT REMEMBER THY WAYS, AND BE ASHAMED, WHEN
THOU SHALT RECEIVE THY SISTERS, THINE ELDER AND THY YOUNGER: AND I WILL
GIVE THEM UNTO THEE FOR DAUGHTERS, BUT NOT BY THY COVENANT.
Judah must seek to bring the Lost Ten Tribes back. God makes the
participation of Judah in the process of returning the Lost Ten Tribes a
prior condition for the rehabilitation of Judah herself!
<<I WILL GIVE THEM UNTO THEE FOR DAUGHTERS>>: Judah will have some degree
of directional task to play in helping the Ten Tribes return and showing
them the way in which they should go. Judah however is also obligated to
get his own act together or else (God forbid) be punished.
<<BUT NOT BY THY COVENANT>>: The Lost Ten Tribes will not necessarily have
to convert to Judaism in our sense of the word though they will renew the
covenant between Israel and the Almighty and Judah is obligated to assist
them. OR
They shall return through the assistance of Judah even though Judah himself
did not keep his own coventant.
[Ezekiel 16:62] AND I WILL ESTABLISH MY COVENANT WITH THEE; AND THOU SHALT
KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD:
God will once again accept Judah and all Israel.
