Brit-Am Now no.1908: Ten Tribes Studies. Covenant People |
Ten out of the Twelve Tribes of Israel were exiled and lost their identity.
Their descendants are now to be found amongst Western Peoples. They are the Lost Ten Tribes. This is proven from the Bible, Talmud,
and Rabbinical Sources as well as from Secular Studies in Ancient History, Archaeology, Mythology,
Linguistics, and related fields.
In the notes below we bring news, queries, and updates related to these issues.

Re
YouTube Yair Davidiy
"Shalom Yair, ...After shul [synagogue] we watched your two latest videos
(prompted by liturgy covering Oholah & Oholibah [Ezekiel ch.23] during services,
which made me think of showing the family your 2 latest videos afterwords).
MUCH BETTER videos w/o the background music! Todah.
Small note, people may not watch Zechariah new video as the first 13 minutes or
so are exact repeat of the other video. Not sure how you did that, maybe pasting
things together to cover Tisha B'Av twice? Anyhow....FYI
Enjoyed the messages, including the Temple models intro ;-) but we REALLY
enjoyed your message/teaching and style (as always). Your humble yet passionate
approach with scholarly research is more than refreshing. Keep helping Judah &
Joseph/Ephraim, for HaShem's sake.
Shavuah Tov.

Dear sir,
When will Judah allow the other tribes to immigrate to Israel? I have read a
lot about the return of the tribes but the laws of Israel prohibit our
coming home.
thank you for you time. Gratefully Sandy
Brit-Am Reply:
Shalom,
You asked a question that we have answered many times BUT this time we shall
reply to with a few questions of our own:
When will our movement, Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations, be appreciated?
When will it be General Knowledge amongst the Other Tribes as to who they are?
When will the evidence be accepted?
[Do you, yourself, even know what the evidence is? Could you convince anybody
else with? Have you ever tried doing so?]
When will they who believe they are descended from the Ten Tribes show more
evidence of their sincerity by greater support of an interest in our
organization?
First Let us set our Priorities:
Once some type of answer can be given to the above questions then we may begin
to talk about your own query.
In addition the way you phrase the last part of your question is frankly
impertinent.
The Law of Israel has nothing against you.
They simply do not know who you are.
It also sounds as if you may be accusing the Israeli authorities of something,
or wish to do so.
No good person should want any part of that.
[This may not be what you intended but there are others who speak along similar
lines whose intention is such.]
See our article on this subject:
The Two House Doctrine and Ephraimites
http://britam.org/TwoHouse.html
When will Brit-Am be helped more?
Brit-Am would like to inform both Judah and Joseph on this matter but it needs
help that it receives very little of.
Think of it.
You would pay a lawyer or an accountant for much less.
These people need their money to keep their families and justify their efforts.
We also need money.
We need much less but we still have to get by.
Nothing superfluous but we must make ends meet if we are to function.
Anyone who says it can be done otherwise than how Brit-Am/Hebrew nations says
may be relying on miracles.
Miracles do happen.
We sometimes pay our bills through them.
Nevertheless, the situation should be regulated and others need to commit
themselves alongside us.
Proverbs 3:
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
4 And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who retain her.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
"Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,"
When you have it with you.
Anyway,
May God be with you,
Yair Davidiy
on behalf of
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations.
4. Atlas Laster: Ephraim Distraught?
Shalom Yair,
Ephraim, today, should no longer be distraught, and Judah should check its
collective superciliousness because in 1 Kings 19:18 the Almighty told Elijah
that 7,000 (Northern Kingdom) people had been reserved who had not bowed to or
kissed the Baal. It is likely, then, that those sod yesharim v'edah [Righteous
Foundations of Community] were also exiled into the wilderness of the nations
and carried that spiritual perspective of righteousness with them, even to this
day.

5. Cristian Sildan: Early Christian European History Needs to be Taken into
Perspective.
Re: Brit-Am Now no. 1905: Ten Tribes Studies.
#2. Charlotte Mecklenburg: Judah and Joseph.
To Charlotte:
Dear Charlotte,
I don't want to start a theological debate and you are free to not like
Christianity, but I just want to point that the centuries following the fall of
Rome were heavily and unjustly vilified beyond any measure by historians with an
agenda, people who reject the whole Bible by the way, not just the New
Testament. Whether you are Jewish or Christian it's still foolish to take them
too seriously.
Fact is the Middle Ages were an epoch like all others, with good and bad, with
some progresses, and on the whole, a bit better than the Antiquity.
As for the anti-Semitic side of the Western culture, we must remember that the
very Israelite tribes could hate each-other really bad, see the exterminations
wrought among Benjamin or Ephraim by other tribes.
Hatred is something that occurs even among brothers, and will be with us until
the Judgment Day.
Christians are people, and as such, they have good and bad, brotherly love and
brotherly hatred, whether they are of Israelite descent or not. They did what
they could.
Considering that, we must keep an objective view of History.
Bless you all,
Christian
6. Meredith Carpenter: The USA is not all that Bad!
Re
A Call to Israelites of Britain and the West by Alistair Williams
http://britam.org/Alistair.html
Re Alistar Williams extract that the western nations have 'shown off' their
riches. I disagree that we have shown off. America has fed, watered, sent
medical help, fought for, and died for other nations - just about all poor
nations of the earth. We have shown compassion. We ask for nothing in return. We
have only tried to improve people's lives, keep people alive and tried to show
them love in a world that doesn't care about them. I would not call this showing
off our wealth. In fact a lot of other nations think we are weak for showing
compassion. Again we are seen as arogant. Why, because we do not fear? We could
not accomplish anything if we weren't free. This is and was God's plan for us.
We do not believe that we have done this on our own. Generations of Americans
love and worship the Lord. It's true that we don't know Him through the law, but
we know Him through His Grace and Mercy that never leaves us as it finds us. We
do not fear Him as if we make a mistake He will strike us dead. Not everyone in
America is 'Tribal'. Personally, I believe that God has kept the tribes together
even to this day and we do seek Him. Once the tribes leave the countries where
they are now, those countries may go back to the stone age in a matter of days.
God has given us abilities, each tribe its own. He has not lost control of His
purpose for us.
It is true that those who have the children have the future, and our race is an
older race in America, and we are not being fruitful and multiplying, as God
commanded. It may not matter though, at this point in time.

Play.
Re
The Striped-Tie Triad.
Brit-Am Ephraimite Mini-Summit in Jerusalem.
Shalom Yair and fellow Brit-Am wanderers among the nations,
Like John Salverda, I only speak for myself, as I am not a member nor a leader
of any denomination or organization. I am a Messianic in my religious outlook
and walk, somewhat like Eddie Chumney.
I have several thoughts to share, including one idea very similar to one that
John Hulley espoused years ago; I've no idea if he still does, but more on that
later.
Yair, you've done a lot of hard work over the years in research, publication,
and awareness-raising. You need to be recognized and applauded for your
ceaseless labors; unfortunately, you're not yet done, as you remind us
constantly. In these days, with so much economic difficulty, it's hard to find
the money to send to you, badly though you need the support.
For a long time, one of your opinions was rather off-putting, namely, that the
returning 10 tribes would have to convert to Judaism.
[Editorial Note: This is inaccurate see our Brit-Am Reply below, Yair]
For while I have often said that given the great variety of Christianity
teachings and practices that are extant mean that we Christians and Messianics
are going to suffer cultural and religious shock in the Messianic Age when
Messiah rules from Zion (Isaiah 2:1-3, Micah 4:1-3), I also think the same will
be true of Judah as well, for as it is written, it says "Come, house of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the L-rd" (Isaiah 2:5). Moreover, does not the L-rd
say he will cleanse both houses of their detestable things or transgressions in
the prophecy of the Two Sticks (Ezekiel 37:23)? Given this context, I appreciate
what you said to John Salverda when you wrote
"[t]his is one of the reasons why Brit-Am feels it should not have to argue with
Christians about their faith.
It does not mean that we have to agree with Christianity but we may tolerate it
amongst Gentiles."
I feel that the same attitude should extend the opposite way as well, i.e we
don't have to agree with Judaism on all points, but we can tolerate it among the
Jews. Even you Jews don't always agree among yourselves ....
It would be well, I think, that both Judah and Joseph need to constantly keep in
mind Isaiah's advice and testimony here.
Isaiah 8:13 "It is the L-RD of hosts whom you should regard as
holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread. 14 "Then He shall
become a sanctuary ; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a
rock to stumble over, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 "Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken ; They will
even be snared and caught." 16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my
disciples. 17 And I will wait for the L-RD who is hiding His face from the house
of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him.
We both need to look for and to the L-rd, and this brings me to the idea that I
read about some years ago in one of John Hulley's books or articles; I can't
recall which. At this time, I believe that while conferences and Brit-Am's
labors to increase awareness will have some preparatory value, I think the L-rd
Himself is going to act directly to prepare the two Houses for reunification...
I believe that we are generally aware that there is going to be a major regional
war soon in which Joseph and Judah work together for Jacob to emerge triumphant
(Psalm 83, Joel 2:15-27, Zechariah 12:1-9, Isaiah 11:14; 17:1, Zechariah 9:13,
Obadiah 1:18). But, what John Hulley pointed out and I repeat here is that in
both Joel 2 and Zechariah 2 after the war, there is an "[increase of Divine Inspiration]".
Joel 2:28 "It will come about after this That I will pour out My
Spirit on all mankind ; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men
will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 29"Even on the male and
female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30 "I will display
wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. 31 "The
sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and
awesome day of the LORD comes. 32 "And it will come about that whoever calls on
the name of the L-RD Will bedelivered ; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There
will be those who escape, As the L-RD has said, Even among the survivors whom
the L-RD calls.
Zechariah 12:10 "I will pour out on the house of David and on
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that
they will look on Me whom they have pierced ; and they will mourn for Him, as
one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter
weeping over a firstborn.
The way I understand this is that Joel is talking about a general pouring out of
the Spirit over all mankind, and those who respond via prophesying, dreams, and
visions will be identified as being a descendant of Jacob, maybe even knowing to
which tribe they belong. Zechariah is talking about those of Jerusalem seeing
the L-rd differently than they have heretofore. I think that after the pouring
out of the Spirit, things will start moving faster towards re-unification
because more will understand what is really happening, and that the roadblocks
start getting removed faster, including such roadblocks as the Law of Return,
where will the returning sons of Israel settle (in the north), how will the two
groups relate to each other, etc...
I don't think it is a coincidence that Benjamin Netanyahu ("Son of my right hand
G-d's gift") is Prime Minister of Israel at this time because he appreciates the
love and friendship that evangelical Christians extend towards Israel. Once
Israel emerges victorious, it would not be a surprise that Bibi leads the way
towards re-unification in the Knesset and throughout Israel. Netanyahu might
become the leading Jew to come invite Joseph home.
Shalom,

I am not sure what articles exactly you refer to. In future please give relevant
URLs. Your ideas are interesting and on the whole we agree with them in so far
as they accord with Biblical Passages.
Concerning your remark about that,
# the returning 10 tribes would have to convert to Judaism #.
We do not say this. We simply are not sure. We are sure that the solution
however will be acceptable to Judaism as it will be in that time.
We do not know and the whole matter is one for the future. At present Jews are
forbidden to become Christians.
Members of the Ten Tribes evidently achieve Biblical Consciousness through
Christianity. For most of them it appears that this may be in accord with Divine
Providence.
We can leave it at that.
Those of us who realize the Israelite Ancestry of Western Peoples have an
obligation to further the Three Rs of Brit-Am or something along those lines.
In an Army one has Infantry, Artillery, etc alongside force of the Airmen,
Navy, etc.
They are not supposed tob e the same and each has their role to play.

Brit-Am Reply:
Shalom,
Usually we would not relate to your posting since the manner of address is not
up to standard.
You evidently have not really looked at our web-site or publications.
The British Royal Family is not a major feature of our beliefs. It is not
something we emphasize or even really talk about.
In our Biblical Proofs, you will find
Sons of David as Rulers
This is one out of 120 Biblical Proofs we employ. It is a short article out
of ca. 1500 articles and a few thousand e-mail discussion notes on our web
-site.
It definitely is not something we stress. In this article we countenance the
possibility that the Royal Family are indeed descended from David.
Jeremiah 33:22 tells us that in the End Times a very large number will be
descended from David.
If it should transpire that the British Royal Family for some reason are not the
progeny of David it would not affect us overduly.
Just because it is now popular on YouTube programs to claim that the Royals
descended from the Christian Messiah or that they are really Muslims does not
mean that such is the case.
If I remember correctly when a high placed Princess got herself pregnant to a
Muslim gallant their driver imbibed substances and then at breakneck speed drove
the car into a brick wall!
Anything is possible but I doubt most stories that go around.
That you are not getting messages from the Almighty is not my fault.
I do not know what you have believed in the past but you have not been getting
your information from us....
Before you judge us please at least read some of our writings.
Please note also that we advocate Biblical Consciousness through effort meaning
Biblical Study, correct life-styles, and prayer.
This can take time.
9. Wil: Ephraim and England connected to dual prophecy
Hi Yair,
You know much truth about today's Ephraim, but do you believe that God uses dual
prophecy in the process of completing His plan, which includes the Tribes of
Israel?
Through the course of your studies, have you ever seen a connection of an
ancient prophecy of disaster that happened to Ephraim first, and how what has
happened in the past may be tied to what England is repeating right now?
I think I can prove that this is a very likely possibility....
In the course of your studies of history, have you been interested in prophetic
connections between the two times in history concerning Ephraim and England?
I look forward to hearing from you.

10. Steven K: A Few Questions about Prophecy and Tribal Inheritance etc.
Shalom!
I have a few questions, which I have not found answered on your site.
1.) House of Israel was exiled ~730-700BCE. Ezekiel prophecies that they would
be exiled for 390 years. Leviticus states that if the people are unrepentant,
the punishment would be multiplied by 7. That would make the exile over within
this decade. Is this view logical and Scriptural, in your opinion?
2.) Isaiah states that HaShem will raise a signal/banner calling His people back
to the land. Any ideas on what this signal/banner will be?
3.) When the 2nd exodus occurs, Scripture states that the tribes will live in
their designated areas. How will those returning know which tribe they belong
to?
Thank you for all the work you do, and may our Creator bless you and protect
you!

(1. This notion is well known in British Israel circles and was also used by the
followers of Herbert Armstrong.
We are not sure how correct it may be. It presupposes that conventional
chronology is correct but it may not be.
Also a multiplication by seven though plausible does not seem mandatory. Anyway,
it is worth considering.
(2. We have no idea at present what the banner will be.
(3. Tradition says that King David or the Messiah or an agency established by
the Messiah will tell each Israelite which Tribe they belong to and therefore to
which inheritance they adhere.
In the days of the Messianic King: When his kingdom shall be settled and all of
Israel gather unto him, he shall then give the Tribal-genealogy of each one. He
shall do this through Divine inspiration. As it says, HE SHALL SIT AS A REFINER
AND PURIFIER (Malachi 3:3). He will purify the Tribe of Levi first .as it says,
till there be stood up a priest with Urim and with Thumim (Ezra 2:63) He
gives the genealogy of Israel only concerning which tribe each one belongs to..
[Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, The Laws of Kings, ch. 12, no.3].
Those who are not of Israelite descent but have attached themselves to
Israelites will receive an inheritance according to whichever Tribe they will
have attached themselves to previously (Ezekiel 47:22).
11. Michelle Bowie: Hebrew Roots Movement Happening among Christian Churches
Re Brit-Am Now no.1906: Ten Tribes Studies.
# 5. Keven Benefield: BRIT-AM remains at the leading edge
Shalom Yair,
I'm not sure whether you are aware of this or not, but there is a Hebrew roots
movement happening among Christian churches. I'm not just talking about what the
media has to say, but these are places, oddly moreso within the Baptist sect.
Certain pastors have been seeking the Father's truth of His word. One even says
and teaches his assembly, that one cannot know the back of the Book (NT) unless
you know the front of the book (Torah). I whole heartedly agree!
Many individuals within certain churches have been called out by the Almighty to
His Truth in Torah. This journey began for myself (never even brought up in any
faith to speak of) in 2006 when an ever growing conviction about the sabbath,
came to head and we began keeping it. From that point forward, the Almighty has
opened up the floodgates of revealing His word and blessing our family
abundantly in ways that far surpass what most might consider.
This awakening is speeding up across the community of Christians world wide, in
every place Israel was scattered.
Are we approaching the last days? Or has it always been this way and it is only
through the advent of technology that we are able to connect and communicate
these things more readily than at any other time in history?
The submisson of the person who works in a book store is right. Many things,
hidden nuggets which validate scripture, can be found in secular history books.
We are living in exciting times to spite what is happening in the world.
Blessings, mb
12. Pete: Remarks and Query on Ancient Hebrew versus Modern Hebrew and English.
RE: Query Answered by Brit-Am
hi there Yair, that was a fair answer to a frustrating question. Its not
currently realistic for a return to Israel even though i do believe in what you
say about the lost tribes and I am a Christian with a natural reverence for
Israel albeit not as much as I use to now that I know the extent of who Israel
is, I wouldnt dream of going to Israel bar a holiday or by divine inspiration.
Like most subjects such as evolution versus creation (I am creationist) if you
properly arm yourself with hard facts its not actually that difficult to prove
something that is true and its always enjoyable to teach people. I have had a
lot of success convincing people as to who the northern tribes currently are,
primarily as a result of the information on your website, and recently I've
become aware of how our modern English is a derivative of the old Hebrew
alphabet and that many of the letters are nearly identical, I discovered this
through Jane Marchants website. This recent information is very compelling i
would be keen to get your opinion on the differences between modern Hebrew and
old Hebrew,it appears that modern Hebrew is as much of an offshoot of old Hebrew
as Greek and English is, Jane has even gone as far as saying that English could
very well be more closer to the old Hebrew than the current Hebrew?
Another interesting discovery is an ancient stone carving depicting Darius the
Persian king overshadowing the tribal leaders of the 10 northern tribes all with
ancient ethnic names pertaining only to current western countries such as the
Sakka, Cimmerian etc.
The Brit-Am on the Book of Genesis, Biblical Exegesis, ["Biblical Truth"] alone
is enough to convince the enquiring mind as to who the lost tribes are. I havent
been refuted once or expect to be as it very compelling, very logical and very
accurate and makes an awesome bible study, but even when convincing people and
at the very least sowing that seed of doubt, it is still extremely hard to goad
someone to take it seriously as most people Ive encountered dont for a minute
think that it changes much in the way of GODs plan and purpose with the world.
Im not quite sure how people come to this conclusion as I believe it changes
everything radically. Whatever happens to Judah will affect Ephriam and vice
versa. I can only quote your conclusions on the matter Yair; and that is a
strong delusion has blinded the Lost Tribes to their own identity and will
continue to do so until GOD decides to lift this curse...
My own interest in the subject came about due to having studied Celtic culture
and not being able to go back any further than about 2000 years ago. I even
bought a book on the subject claiming to have all the answers. I couldnt wait to
read it only to once again feel more in the dark than ever. This really
frustrated me and unless I was going to believe in the evolutionary mantra on
the subject, it was a dead end subject, so the alarm bells rang. Ive noticed
that this is quite a common occurrence amongst Brit-Am believers, i.e. a sincere
desire to understand the origins of the western tribes will eventually lead to
the truth...even in my own home town in Christchurch New Zealand we've only
experienced a fraction of what's about to come upon us all and we have lost over
70% of our entire inner city cbd as a result of over 10,000 earthquakes and
aftershocks,(which is a world record) ...
I just wanted to say I totally believe in what you are doing.... you are laying
an important foundation which must be supported irrespective of Joseph's
blindness...

Brit-Am Reply:
Pete Shalom,
Thank you for your letter,
Ancient Hebrew may have existed in some form since the beginning of mankind. All
languages have some sources in Hebrew. This has been discussed often. Isaac
Mozeson wrote a few erudite, readable and entertaining works on it.
Modern Hebrew is not that far off from a type of Biblical Hebrew. The Torah was
written by Moses in ca. 1450 BCE with some parts of Hagiographa being completed
in the 300s BCE. This means that Biblical Hebrew spreads over ca. 1150 years or
more. A language can change a lot in that time. Present-day Hebrew has a very
simple base. It may be compared to a grade-school beginners version of the
Hebrew used by Moses. Hebrew was also in use after Bible times. In fact in some
way Hebrew remained part of the vernacular (as well as the sacred) in different
Jewish communities down to the modern Era. It is also true that there were
doubtless different Hebrew dialects and numerous words and ways of pronunciation
and conjugating Hebrew that have been lost to us.
English does indeed have many words of obvious Hebrew origin. It does also have
Hebrew characteristics in the way it is built and in its thought-processes.
Nevertheless, English is basically a foreign Gentile language (or rather a
conglomeration of them) with some Hebrew input.
God bless you
Yair.
