1. Question: How does one know for sure that one is descended from Israel?
Answer: One does not know for sure but a reasonable degree of certainty may be possible.
Even if someone is not of Israelite descent a person can still be one of the "strangers" who identifies with Israel and who will inherit with them (Ezekiel 47:22).
Nobody can be absolutely certain which tribe they belong to. Some people
can make a fairly strong assumption based on family names, place of residence, etc. Most people are not in that category.
We all live in certain areas and identify with the people amongst whom we
live. The Brit-Am message should be important to you
if you can relate it to people with whom you identify.
See our article:
"
Ephraimite Criteria.
How Do You Know You Descend from Israel?"
In addition to the above an inner instinctive knowledge of identification is very important. It may be enough for certain individuals but usually something more than that is required.
