Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations believes the Lost Ten Tribes are amongst Western Peoples.
We have proof of it.
We spread knowledge of this truth, research it, refine and add to it.
People listen to us. We make an impression. Eventually this truth shall become widely known.
We also teach on related matters of importance.
Recently we spoke of Christianity and of Edomites alongside Israelites in the west.
Concerning Christianity,
It is not our task to consider the relative values of Judaism or Christianity.
We avoid religious confrontation and only deal with such issues when pressured to do so.
Whatever one may think of us on these matters we do express the truth as we see it but then only on the very rare instances when the subject comes up.
The Messiah will clarify for everybody where the truth lies and until then there are other issues to deal with.
Even so, our mode of presentation is also acceptable to Judaism and this is worth something.
So too, form an academic point of view: We have the potential of breaking barriers that need to be broken regarding Israelite ancestry.
About Edom,
This too is part of the truth. It needs to be made known, and enables an affirmation of the dignity of Judah and the Ten Tribes together.
It helps confirm the identity of the Ten Tribes among Western Peoples.
Brit-Am serves the Peoples of Israel.
We are in the front line.
Brit-Am is what you have.
We work for you and on your behalf and effectively.
The message is the truth and it may be of help to all Israelites.
We need support financially.
No-one (unfortunately?) is backing us.
We are all you have and owned by yourselves, i.e. our subscribers and supporters.
You are our friends and we are yours.
The need is mutual.
Offerings and book sales have been very low for some time.
The situation is serious.
We need money to meet ongoing needs and expenses.
In addition to that we have books almost ready whose final touches and production also require funding.
These works, when ready, should generate funds and perhaps help somewhat. We need some money however to go forward.
Even small sums may help very much since we are virtually on the margin and everything and anything may make a great difference.
May the God of Israel bless you

2. New Article and Video Clip. Joseph Disguised as Esau
===============================
(a) New Article. Joseph Disguised as Esau
The Subterfuge of Jacob as a Prototype
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/disguise.html
Extract:
The Ten Tribes were exiled by Edom. In their Places of Exile they were at first ruled over by Edomites. They learned the same language and adopted the same culture and religion. It was as if they had to disguise themselves as Edomites in order to receive the blessings that otherwise were intended for Esau. This is the same as the case of Jacob. The intention of Isaac had been to bless Esau. Jacob took the blessings by disguising himself as Esau. The Ten Tribes had to do the same.
==============================
(b) New YouTube Video Clip: Joseph Disguised as Esau!
Duration: 24.32 minutes
The Lost Ten Tribes had to become like the Gentiles and adopt the culture and even identity of Edomite Nations. This was necessarily to enable them to fulfill their national goals and receive the Blessings promised to them. This was parallel to the way Jacob had received the Blessings from Isaac, i.e. by being disguised as his brother Esau.

3. Question on Cain and the Kenites.
Was there any connection between Cain (brother of Abel, son of Adam and Eve) and the Kenites descendants of Jethro?
Brit-Am Reply:
Certain Identity Heretical Reprobates have concocted a whole complicated doctrine around this issue. Even though these types are usually fanatically anti-Jewish their teaching in part may be derived from non-mainstream Jewish sources, which they have misunderstood and misapplied. Even so, we do not accept any of this.
We try to keep away from such racist types and advise everyone else to do the same.
Our approach is in accordance with the simple direct meaning of Scripture alongside Rabbinical understanding when pertinent.
According to our understanding,
All mankind today descend from Noah and his three sons.
Jethro was a Midianite, and the father of Zippora, wife of Moses. He may have been dark since the Midianites are described (In Midrash Seder Olam) as darkish and Zippora was called a Cushite woman (Numbers 12:1).
See:
The Black Woman. Color Prejudice Forbidden
http://www.britam.org/CushiteWoman.html
Jethro attached himself with his family to the Israelites. They were known as Kenites. The Rechabites were an offshoot from them.
The Kenites were exiled with the Ten Tribes and will return with them, see
 [Numbers 24:22] NEVERTHELESS THE KENITE SHALL BE WASTED, UNTIL ASSHUR SHALL CARRY THEE AWAY CAPTIVE.
Rashi:
# EVEN IF YOU SHALL BE WIPED AWAY, KEIN , FOR A PERIOD WHEN ASHUR [ASSYRIA] TAKES YOU CAPTIVE [YOU SHALL RETURN WITH THE TEN TRIBES! #
The Kenites here are those who were to convert together with Jethro and attach themselves to the Children of Israel. They always remained as a somewhat separate group. They were exiled by the Assyrians with the Ten Tribes. They are destined to return with them (Rashi).

As for the Rechabites, in the Bible God praises them (Jeremiah 35:19).
They were in the region of Judah in the time of Jeremiah but according to legend moved to be with the Ten Tribes.
Jewish tradition seems to have traced them to Ireland and the British Isles. This implies that the Ten tribes were also in t hat area and adds to additional evidence confirming it.

# 7. Rechabites: A New and Unexpected Source?
Jewish Traditions Placed the Lost Ten Tribes in the British Isles!!
http://britam.org/now2/1411Now.html#Rechabites
These findings are based on ancient sources but public awareness of them and their significance concerning the location of the Ten Tribes was the fruit of Brit-Am Research.
