#1. Leota Kleewein: On the Right Track
In response to Leota:
Yes, continue to be strong and bold and courageous with the message about
possibly being from the lost tribes!!! I have discovered quite a few in the last
18 months, some recieve it easily, others are confused, but I will not stop.
Also, here we are letting go of pagan Christian trappings and moving toward [the
Almighty]'s feasts and festivals and Sabbaths. This is not because of
discovering who we are and that we must make this change...it is because [the
Almighty] has opened our hearts to this matter and we have the inner heart
desire to walk closer to Him. To purify ourselves of idolatry.
Don't lose your faith!!!!!
Many blessings, michelle b.

2. 2-Samuel 20-1 Brit-Am is on the Right
Track!
http://britam.org/2samuel-20.html
[2-Samuel 20:1] AND THERE HAPPENED TO BE THERE A MAN OF BELIAL, WHOSE NAME
WAS SHEBA, THE SON OF BICHRI, A BENJAMITE: AND HE BLEW A TRUMPET, AND SAID, WE
HAVE NO PART IN DAVID, NEITHER HAVE WE INHERITANCE IN THE SON OF JESSE: EVERY
MAN TO HIS TENTS, O ISRAEL.
We saw in the previous chapter how the
Men of Israel quarreled with those of Judah over what they saw as excessive
proprietorship on the part of Judah concerning the personage of David.
So too today we have similar problem.
"Ephraimites"
who (in many cases) have only recently become aware of their probable Israelite
Ancestry and have just begun to explore their "Hebrew Roots" still sometimes
give evidence of something approaching jealousy towards Judah. They seem to feel
like they wish to say,
"If we are Israelites like Judah then we too should have a say in what goes on
in the Land of Israel. What right has Judah to deny us the same rights in the
Land accorded to Jews? We too, should also have a say in how the Bible should be
kept or at the least we should be taken into consideration".
This may be a bit exaggerated but such sometimes approximates the feeling ("the
vibes") people like ourselves sometimes receive from some
Ephraimites.
This is what we get from people who cannot be absolutely sure they are of
Israelite Origin and only yesterday thought they were not.
Imagine how the feeling would be if they were sure of it!
Perhaps this is why Divine Providence DOES NOT WANT
Ephraimites
to be certain at present?
Perhaps the Brit-Am path of taking things quietly while working on the depth and
inner intensification of Israelite consciousness is the right one?
Brit-Am needs your support.
<<A MAN OF BELIAL: An evil person. "Belial" is explained to mean "bli-ol"
or "without a yoke" meaning someone who is irresponsible and negative. To create
division amongst the Tribes of Israel is an evil act. To cause Israel to resent
Judah and to act against Judah is extremely wicked.

3. Reactions to 2-Samuel 20-1 Brit-Am is
on the Right Track!
(a) Tommy: "a strong rebellion against
Rabbinic Authority"
Shalom Yair,
In my experiences I have noticed this emotion you describe as a strong
rebellion against Rabbinic Authority. I have witnessed many seething and
visceral polemics against the Talmud specifically and Rabbinic Authority in
general, polemics that go way beyond simple rational criticism.
It seems to me that this presents it's own problem in that the
distinction between this form of Israelite sibling rivalry and widespread
historical anti-Semitism isn't so easily discerned.
Continued Blessings
Tom

(b) Was I Intended?
dear Yair !
I dont hope you mean, that you could find me there ? - ybic, J.

Answer:
I do not even know you. You send us articles...which I do not read
and I do not know why you send them.
You are not the only person who though we were referring to them.
Actually we had no-one specific in mind but were relating to a general attitude
we sometimes come across.

(c) Lee Kelley: What about Judah?
This may be one of those times when it would have been better to have just been
thought to be a fool rather than opening my mouth and affirming it.
It has been my understanding that even Yahudim can't substantiate their reality
since the Diaspora resulting from the destruction of the Temple wherein were
held the records of validation. However, that being said, who would ever claim
to be a Yahudiy given the discrimination and persecution suffered throughout the
ages.
As I've shared with you in the past, I believe it is very possible that I have
some connection to Zarah, but there is absolutely no way of endorsing such a
claim. I do see that there is only ONE King, Kingdom and Constitution though
and when Mashiach comes I trust I'll be numbered among the tribes.
Forgive any ignorance,
Lee Kelley
================================================
Reply: Good points. It is true that even
amongst Jews one may well find descendants of converts or
interlopers who identified as Jews or others who became identified as Jews in
all kinds of ways.
It is however different. The Jewish community as a community remained
identifiable.
A community like a family is a living organism and can marry and mix and absorb
others
even if on the whole it tries very hard maintain its homogeneity.
In other words the community can decide who belongs to it according to its own
criteria while retaining its
communal identity and they who are accepted really do belong.
We are not talking about people claiming to be Jews however
but about people claiming to be Israelites and not being able to prove it
beyond Biblical and secular evidence such as that adduced by Brit-Am.
This cannot really be applied in individual cases but only in a general sense
apart from not being accepted by everybody.
Even Ephraimites
seem to sometimes
not accept it.

(d) Cam Rea: "just a matter of time now till uniting"
I agree. Judah does have a more say so in terms to their own land and polices.
But it also should be understood that there are those out there interested in
Judah, and have a common concern about the polices in the middle east. But, even
this doesn't fully give the rest of Israel's tribes a reason to butt into the
problems of Judah. Israel should support Judah as long as it is moral and
according to Biblical law rather then jealousy, and this so called need to
belong when Israel already belongs, and it's just a matter of time now till
uniting. In any case this is just my small opinion to those who object to
Judah's position.
