1. Ashirah Yosefah: Agrees with Response
Subject: RE: "Brit-Am Now"-709

Yair, Shalom ...

Yashar koach on your response to Bishop David (#2) ... Your statements are
completely grounded on the reality here in Israel at the present time.  A
proper study of Scripture from the Hebrew texts and supported by the
Talmudic writings with the many commentaries of Rabbis on this topic do
indicate the definite return of the Lost Tribes, but the timing is also
clearly not yet.

Ephraimite love for Israel and their yearning to live here is
understandable, but a lot of the impatience is based on not truly
understanding the texts that relate to the return of the exiles of Israel.
For those who are truly exiles of the Lost Tribes, the point of their return
will be unmistakable -- in Hashem's time.  Too many sincere people have
donated significant amounts of money in recent years to fund ungrounded
claims of pending Knesset rulings and other innuendo that gates to aliyah
were about to be opened.

Israel is a complex country, not easily understood from afar and often not
even so from within, but then as our Sages tell us, three things come with
tsuris (pain, difficulty):  Torah, the Land of Israel, and the World to
Come.

2. Iraq: Part of the Divine Plan for Israelite Colonization?
Yair,

What do you think of the non-PC idea that George Bush will someday be
seen as a hero in that he is leading the way to make safe the land
bewtween the Siani and the Euphrates for the recolonizations by all
the children of Israel especially those of Ephraim-Joseph-Northern
Kingdom children and this is the secret real reason for the Iraq war?

Sincerely,

Paul Pruitt

Answer:
You never know how things will turn out.
Brit-Am was speaking of this possibility years ago.
As for your expression "the secret real reason" we doubt if such was the conscious
intention. Maybe you meant that this is what Divine Providence
intended in order to lay the foundations for colonization in the future?
Even if the Americans go back (this seems not likely to happen but it could)
the fact that they were there facilitates ac future return just like the First Gulf
War was a preparation for the Second one.

The Land of Greater Israel stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates and beyond
The land of Great Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates and beyond will be divided up amongst the twelve Tribes of Israel as described in Ezekiel chapter 47.
Micah describes the returning of the Ten Tribes:
[Micah 7:12] IN THAT DAY ALSO HE SHALL COME EVEN TO THEE FROM ASSYRIA, AND FROM THE FORTIFIED CITIES, AND FROM THE FORTRESS EVEN TO THE RIVER, AND FROM SEA TO SEA, AND FROM MOUNTAIN TO MOUNTAIN.
<<AND FROM THE FORTIFIED CITIES, AND FROM THE FORTRESS>>: The Hebrew translated as "THE FORTIFIED CITIES" is "ari Matzor" and the word translated as FORTRESS is "Matzor". This word "Matzor" can indeed mean fortress or when used as an adjective "fortifed" but it it was also the name of an area in the northwest of present-day Iraq, i.e. Eastern Azerbaijan and Kurdistan.
<<EVEN TO THEE FROM ASSYRIA>>:  ALL The Commentaries AGREE  that "FROM ASSYRIA" means the return of those exiled to Assyria, i.e. the Lost Ten Tribes.
The region known in Ancient Times as Matzor is that of Northern Iraq (the Kurdish Area) which in practice has been a British and American Zone since the First Gulf War. The Allies NEED to be there to keep the Kurds from being massacred by their neighbors, to keep Communist-type elements  spreading terror in Kurdistan itself, to stabilize Turkey, maintain a threat on Iran, for access to the Caucasus area and southern Russia, to protect the oil resources so that the British and American economies function  and the American dollar remains in ascendancy, and as a fallback area and basis for activities in southern Iraq.
Micah indicates that the Lost Ten Tribes will return via this area.

Zecvhariah also predicted the return:
[Zechariah 10:6] AND I WILL STRENGTHEN THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, AND I WILL SAVE THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH, AND I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN TO PLACE THEM; FOR I HAVE MERCY UPON THEM: AND THEY SHALL BE AS THOUGH I HAD NOT CAST THEM OFF: FOR I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND WILL HEAR THEM
This is the re-union of the Lost Ten Tribes with Judah. Joseph and Judah will re-unite.

[Zechariah 10:7] AND THEY OF EPHRAIM SHALL BE LIKE A MIGHTY MAN, AND THEIR HEART SHALL REJOICE AS THROUGH WINE: YEA, THEIR CHILDREN SHALL SEE IT, AND BE GLAD; THEIR HEART SHALL REJOICE IN THE LORD.

[Zechariah 10:8] I WILL HISS FOR THEM, AND GATHER THEM; FOR I HAVE REDEEMED THEM: AND THEY SHALL INCREASE AS THEY HAVE INCREASED.

[Zechariah 10:9] AND I WILL SOW THEM AMONG THE PEOPLE: AND THEY SHALL REMEMBER ME IN FAR COUNTRIES; AND THEY SHALL LIVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN, AND TURN AGAIN.

[Zechariah 10:10] I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN ALSO OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND GATHER THEM OUT OF ASSYRIA; AND I WILL BRING THEM INTO THE LAND OF GILEAD AND LEBANON; AND PLACE SHALL NOT BE FOUND FOR THEM.
Egypt and Assyria could apply to areas in Europe, as we have explained elsewhere. The exiles of Israel will leave these areas.
Gilead means Syria and Lebanon means Lebanon. These areas will be re-populated by the Lost Ten Tribes represented by "Ephraim".

[Zechariah 10:11] AND HE SHALL PASS THROUGH THE SEA WITH AFFLICTION, AND SHALL SMITE THE WAVES IN THE SEA, AND ALL THE DEEPS OF THE RIVER SHALL DRY UP: AND THE PRIDE OF ASSYRIA SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN, AND THE SCEPTRE OF EGYPT SHALL DEPART AWAY.
  * Jerome on Zechariah 10;11:"And he shall pass through the sea..." : "The Hebrews say that the Assyrians and Chaldeans took the Jews into captivity not only to Persia and Media but also to the Bosporus and the north; and at the end of days God in his mercy will call them back from there:"
  By "Jews" taken into captivity by the Assyrians Jerome is actually referring to Israelites from the northern Ten Tribes even though strictly speaking these were not  "Jews" which appellation refers to Judaeans from the southern kingdom dominated by Judah.
     Welsh tradition claimed that their ancestors the Cymry (i.e. "Cimmeri") led by Hu Gadarn of the Sons of Don had come across the "Lazy Sea" (i.e.Mediterranean) to the British isles from Defrobane which they said was just opposite Byzantium. In other words Defrobane stood on the Asiatic side of the Bosporus in the place where the port of Defen was reported to be.
Jerome quotes a "Hebrew Tradition" that the Exiles will return via the Bosporus that connects Europe with Turkey and as pathway to Israel. At present an underground tunnel is being built connecting the Euroiopean side of the Bosporus Strait with the Asian one.
Zechariah continues:
[Zechariah 10:12] AND I WILL STRENGTHEN THEM IN THE LORD; AND THEY SHALL WALK UP AND DOWN IN HIS NAME, SAITH THE LORD.

[Zechariah 11:1] OPEN THY DOORS, O LEBANON, THAT THE FIRE MAY DEVOUR THY CEDARS.
"Lebanon" is often taken to represent the Temple.
It could also represent Britain.
The name "Albion" (i.e. Britain) is derived from "Labanon".

[Micah 7:14] FEED THY PEOPLE WITH THY ROD, THE FLOCK OF THINE HERITAGE, WHICH DWELL SOLITARILY IN THE WOOD, IN THE MIDST OF CARMEL: LET THEM FEED IN BASHAN AND GILEAD, AS IN THE DAYS OF OLD.
<<BASHAN AND GILEAD>>: Mean the present-day regions of Syria and Jordan and Western Iraq.
Zechariah 10;10 says that Ephraim will possess Lebanon and Gilead meaning these areas  that include Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and parts of Turkey and Iraq.


It would seem that the Great Conspirer in the Sky has plans of HIS own.
Yair


3. Shaul Suhr: Need for Strength through Unity
From: Shaul Suhr <sha_ulb@yahoo.com>
Subject: Re: For the sake of Unity and strength !

Shalom Brit Am people, Ok, so we dont agree with MM HaLevi's comments, but we must remember that everybody is entitled to their opinion no  matter what we think of that opinion.
We should all, Jew and Israelite, be grateful to HaShem that He has allowed us to be born at this time, and to have the understanding we do of what we belive to be true.
Dont make the mistake, that we made thousands of years ago, in that we allowed causeless hatred to divide us, and weaken us so our enemies took advantage and overcame us, because we lost the protection of HaShem through hatred of our brethren.
Be strong in your convictions, and in your love for each other !
Sha'ul Suhr, NZ.
