1. Short Article
on the present situation of Brit-Am
"Preaching to the Converted", the Chosen Ones, and the Present
Additional Points to Q.A.10

Article summarizes present-day achievements and current dilemma.
Extract:
<<Our friend and Brit-Am supporter, Eddie Chumney, suggested that one of the
reasons for the above phenomenon is that people are beginning to feel "that it
is not going anywhere".
We have no real answer for that other than to say that for the moment just being
what we are, improving on it, and still managing to reach out to others to a
relatively modest but still impressive degree is something in itself. We are
also laying the foundations for something beyond what now pertains.
Brit-Am deserves to be supported and encouraged in its present efforts.
What Brit-Am will or will not acheive is dependant, amongst other factors, on
what degree it will be enabled to function.

3. Why Should the
Jews Care
that the Lost Ten Tribes are in the West?
http://www.britam.org/Questions/QuesJudah.html#interest
Brit-Am Knowledge should interest Judah for a number of reasons. In a sense
the whole destiny of Judah is dependent on a realization who Joseph is just as
Joseph needs to know who he is and that Judah is his brother.
Brit-Am Beliefs Should interest Judah because:
For the Sake of Torah Knowledge.
Brit-Am reveals who the Lost Ten Tribes are today.
This enhances our understanding of the Tanach (Scripture) and shows how Prophecy
has been fulfilled. It is an important aspect of Torah understanding.
For the Sake of the Truth.
Brit-Am reveals the truth concerning the Lost Ten Tribes. This is important in
its own right.
To Understand the Present.
Brit-Am helps us to understand certain aspects of the international scene.
The Obligation of Judah Towards the Lost Tribes.
Judah has an obligation at some stage to go unto the Ten Tribes and bring them
back (Jeremiah chs.3,ch. 31). What exactly this means and how it is to be done
is not known at present but what is clear is that knowing who the Lost Ten
Tribes are is a pre-requisite.
To Silence Misleaders
False candidates for being the Lost Ten Tribes are put forward quite forcefully
from time to time and mistakes of judgment are liable to occur. If anything is
to be done concerning the Lost Tribes of Israel then we should be certain from
the beginning who and where the Lost Ten tribes are and not go chasing after
unknown entities in the wrong places.
The Lost Ten Tribes Are Already Involved with Judah
The peoples Brit-Am identifies as the Lost Ten Tribes are already involved with
Judah. They are our allies, our only friends, and in some cases also close to
being our adversaries. Whether we like it or not the fate of Judah is wound up
with Brit-Am peoples. Knowing the Israelite identity of these nations could
affect how we relate to them and our understanding of them.
To Combat anti-Semitism
These peoples are technically "Goyim" (Gentiles) at present but good ones
relatively speaking when compared to nearly all the others.
The Gentiles may be divided into three groups:
a. They who will probably always be pro-Jewish no matter what happens.
b. They who will always be anti-Jewish no matter what arguments are brought
forward in favor of the Jews or no matter what we do one way or the other.
c. Those who can swing either way according to circumstance, information
received, etc.
Brit-Am has proven itself effective in generating changes in sentiment towards a
stronger support of the State of Israel and more sympathy for the Jewish people.
Our Brothers Need Us
These people are our brothers. They need Judah in many ways even though they may
not realize it. The awareness of Judah as to who Joseph is can help Joseph.
Brit-Am believes that Joseph is obliged in these end times to assist Judah
realize the Zionist message of conquering and settling the Land of Israel. This
is for the good of Judah.
The Survival of the State of Israel and the Jewish National Destiny is at Stake
Brit-Am also believes that Joseph must conquer Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other
areas and prepare a settlement of his own peoples in these regions. This could
help Judah by providing a friendly co-operative presence in our neighborhood in
place of the fanatical blood-thirsty antagonistic reality of the present.
Geo-political reality is already pushing Joseph in this direction but widespread
correct Brit-Am knowledge could greatly catalyze the process.
