The Need for
Factualization
of Brit-Am Biblical and Secular Researches
Brit-Am emphasizes physical descent or at least psychological identification
with the physical descendants of Israel.
This is important and must be factualized i.e. researched and publicized and
confirmed over and over.
It is not to be taken for granted.
Biblical and secular evidence is needed and exists.
It still needs to be learned, refined, added to, taught to others, and if
necessary debated.
Brit-Am believes in the Hebrew Bible, the Hebrew language, and Jewish Rabbinical
Tradition concerning the obligations of Judah
and the correct interpretation of Scripture.
We are not involved in Theological or inter-faith discussion. Non-Jewish
descendants of Israel, according to our understanding, may use Christianity as a
tool on their way back. They should not use Islam or any other faith.
If they so wish, they may consider becoming Jewish but on the whole we do not
recommend such a step in our time for technical reasons.
We urge them from where they are to intensify their Israelite awareness through
interest in and support of Brit-Am beliefs.
We urge increased Biblical Awareness, Self-Help and Progress, Contribution to
the Community, Brit-Am ancestral consciousness, Loyalty to their Israelite
Country of Residence and allegiance to Joseph and support for Judah.
Eventually the Ten Tribes (Joseph) and Judah will re-unite. In the meantime they
are separate.
The Ten Tribes (Joseph) will participate in the liberation of and settlement in
the Land of Great Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates.
An initial preliminary stage may entail settlement in what is now Lebanon,
Syria, and Jordan, and maybe parts of Iraq and Turkey.
We have articles on all these matters discussing the sources and we are prepared
to correspond on these matters.
In the Messianic Era descendants of the Ten Tribes will also settle in Samaria
and alongside Judah in Jerusalem.
At present we are in a preparatory stage before the Messianic Era. Sensitive
souls feel an arousal and pull towards Jerusalem and Judah.
This is natural but in most (but not all) cases it is premature. There are
exceptions but these are exceptional.
Descendants of the Ten Tribes in the majority of cases should not consider
settling in the State of Israel at this stage.
The
Karaite
Obstruction to Reconciliation between Judah and Ephraim
Brit-Am also advocates psychological acceptance of Judah.
Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing.
Recently so-called Ephraimites have been attacking Jewish teachings, making up
interpretations of their own, or adopting alleged Karaite customs.
[Actually the real Karaites today have no such customs and the people who speak
in their name are not real Karaites.]
You should be aware that,
To be firmly convinced that the Bible says something is one thing.
To simply flippantly reject Rabbinical Teaching concerning the Bible is
something else.
Just because the Rabbis held a certain opinion does not automatically mean that
they were mistaken!
Why make Ephraimites a laughing stock and object of derision in the eyes of the
Jews?
Does a five-minute glance at English translations really justify rejecting
Jewish Rabbinical Understanding of the texts?
Do you understand Hebrew better than they do? Are you more intelligent? Do you
know more?
Have you learnt more? With greater passion, diligence, constancy and
self-denial?
Ephraim needs to think in terms of Reconciliation not groundless conflict and
confrontation.
Regarding rejection of the Hebrew
Calendar:
Is your astronomical expertise greater
than that of the Jewish Scholars whose observations and computations are
considered as accurate as those obtained today by NASA?
Have you received some king of supernatural inspiration telling you that you are
right and the Rabbis are wrong?
Did your forefathers learn all their lives and suffer martyrdom for doing so?
Are you really better than them? etc.
Just for the record, the Karates in Jewish eyes may be considered physically
Jews but their religion is not considered
Jewish but rather a non-Jewish accretion characteristics of non-Israelite
origins.
The Karaites were never a sect within Judaism but rather a break-away group who
were antagonistic to other Jews and concerning whom much was uncertain
and still is.
Ephraimites who adopt Karaite customs are suspected of having anti-Jewish
motives.
In some cases these suspicions have been substantiated.
By Ephraimites adopting so-called Karaite customs they are indicating to the
Jews that they are probably of non-Israelite origin.
It is a free country and everyone can make their own decisions but before doing
so the implications involved should be known.
We may speak on this issue at a later date.
Jews of Judah in Israel are
Mostly Orthodox Jews
Remember that Orthodox Judaism is considered the only genuine expression of
Jewish Tradition.
Most Jews in Israel may not go to Synagogue but the Synagogue they do not go to
is an Orthodox one.
Many Jews may be critical of their own faith but they resent the interference of
others.
They do not mind non-Jews being Christians.
They may be surprised when Christians announce that they are of Israelite
descent but have no wish to become Jewish.
Nevertheless they usually will be prepared to accept the possibility.
If however the non-Jewish Christian should try to missionize them or to tell
them how to practice their own Jewish religion then that would be considered an
expression of hostility.
Brit-Am stands for Research, Recognition, Reconciliation.
Attacks against the Rabbis by so-called Ephraimites undermines the Brit-Am
striving for Recognition and Reconciliation.
