1. The Two Horns of Joseph: Ephraim and
Manasseh
Midrash Breishit Rabah 99:9. # Four Tribes
from amongst the tribes of Israel were chosen to overcome the Four Kingdoms [in
the Book of Daniel]:
The Tribe of Judah was destined to overcome Babylon, "Judah is a lion's whelp"
(Genesis 49:9).
This was fulfilled through Daniel who was from the Tribe of Judah. Daniel ruled
over Babylon and in the end brought about its downfall when he read the writing
on the wall (Daniel ch.5). The Tribe of Benjamin, the wolf (Genesis 49:27), was
destined to overcome Persia. This was fulfilled through Mordecai who was an "IshYamini"
[i.e. a Benjamite,
Ester 2:5]. The Tribe of Levi, which is the least populous of all the Tribes,
was destined to overcome the Hellenistic Empire whose military forces were
numerous. This was fulfilled by the Hasmoneans
[i.e. Maccabees]
who came from the Tribe of Levi, and the Greek [i.e. Hellenistic] hosts were
delivered into their hands, "Many were delivered into the hands of the few"
[Jewish Traditional Prayer Formulation
for Hanuccah].
Moses spoke on this matter concerning Levi, "Strike the loins of those who rise
against him" (Deuteronomy 33:11). The Tribe of Joseph is destined to overcome
(in the Last Days) the Kingdom of Edom. The horns of Joseph, "his horns are the
horns of the ream" [unicorn or wild ox] (Deuteronomy 33:17). These [two horns]
will break the ten horns of Edom. # 2. Very interested in the re-print of

In the thinking of the Vilna Gaon, the Moshiach ben Yosef is of equal importance
in the coming Redemption to the Mosiach ben David. This is shown in the book of
his teachings on the subject "Kol HaTor", available in English precis as "The
Voice of the Turtledove" by R.Yechiel Bar Lev.
R. Meir Kahane devoted a section of his "Or Haraayon" to the subject of Moshiach
ben Yosef, available in English in pt II of "The Jewish Idea".
Joel Bakst has written "The Secret Doctrine of the Vilna Gaon - Moshiach ben
Yosef and the Messianic role of Torah, Kabbalah and Science" and now volume II

The Brit-Am enterprise is a Biblical work. God willing, they who assist Brit-Am will be blessed.
Brit-Am depends on contributions alongside purchases of our publications

Brit-Am is the "still small voice" that contains the truth.

FIRE: AND AFTER THE FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE.
