1. Addition to Article. Joseph to Assist Judah in Applying the Torah

The Tasks of Joseph
The Task of Joseph and the Ten Tribes was to descend to the level of the non-Israelite nations and then evolve upwards drawing the other peoples up with them. This is what they have done to some degree. The Ten Tribes are to be identified with certain Western Peoples especially the English-speaking ones.
Another aspect of the blessings was to take the role originally designated for Esau. Rabbinical commentators opine that one of the reasons Isaac wished to bless Esau with physical wealth and might was in order that Esau assist Jacob in spiritual matters. Rebecca realized that both the spiritual and physical blessings should go to Jacob. Joseph received from Jacob that which had been taken from Esau. He also has the task originally intended for Esau. Joseph should therefore assist Judah who in some ways is a continuation of Jacob.Â
This is what is meant by the Midrash when it says that in order to return Israel needs to accept God, accept the Kingdom of David, and to rebuild the Temple.

2. Kingdom of David Website. Worth a Quick View?
http://www.david-kingdom.022.co.il/BRPortal/br/P100.jsp
This website is apparently run by enthusiasts who may be in serious error.
Nevertheless it is worth a quick view.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3. Commonwealth of Israel Site
This site is run by our friends Ellern Davidson and Obadiah Abrahami.
Obadiah is associated with Rabbi Avraham Feld who was once a part of Brit-Am.
The site is interesting. They give us a link.

See especially the animation prepared by Ellern Davidson:

We think this grouping is positive BUT they are too are in error on several points.
a. They are too universal.
The Lost Ten Tribes stand against the world NOT with it nor identical to it!.
The Tribes are among Western Peoples and even there may be only a minority.
b. The group does not prove anything.
c. The group isambivalent regarding their attitude to the Rabbis. It is not  JUDAH who needs to change but rather Joseph!

#3. Paul Porter: Some Difficult Questions
I am responding to your suggestion:
Yair said:
# b) Paul Porter also asks why does Scripture not relate to WWs 1 and 2 and the State of Israel?
We hope to prepare an article on these matters.
Meanwhile if any of our readers wish to add their comments and insights they are welcome to do so. #
Obadiah Replies:
This is my response:
Far from trying to present a detailed response, I wish to mention some highlights which intrigue me personally in this respect:
While Scripture does not define how, it certainly comprehensively foretells the Return of Israel (both Houses, Judah and Ephraim) to the Land.
In retrospect, we now know that it took WW1 to arrange the nations in such a position that the Balfour Declaration was birthed in the aftermath of the War, giving Judah the green light of Return to the land. Many commentators agree that 1915-17 was historically, (and gauged by the dates of other great historic events before) a Jubilee year fulfilling much of the meaning of Yovel (Restitution). Then follows WW2 which results in the physical Return of Judah and the declaration of the State of Israel in 1948 - thus: it took 2 horrific WWars to get Judah Home!. In 1967 (another Jubilee 50 yrs later) Jerusalem returns to the Jews for the first time in 2000 years. So, all these traumatic War events we can say 'birthed the reborn State of Israel under Jewish rule (Judah). A main mile post on the Way to the Final Geulah, i.e. the Restoration and establishment of the re-united 12-Tribed Kingdom of the G-d of Israel.
By the way, we at Kol Hator believe/surmise that we are now entering another Yovel (100 yrs after WW!) which may well birth the grand Return of the House of 10-Israel from exile, back to the Land - obviously, just a Gate opener. like 1915 , 1948 and 1967Â was for Judah.
This is a vast topic. Rabbi Avraham Feld, co-founder of Kol Hator has very interesting views (and writings) about these dates and the part that 'Ephraim' has played (hidden to mankind) in these and other Wars around these dates. In other words, Ephraim's Great Role in bringing Judah Home.

5. Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is the ONLY body at present in Several Important Spheres
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is unique in serveral spheres, including:
Research concerning the Ten Tribes being in the west.
Even if we are not the only authority on the scene in some areas we have contributed considerably.
And what does it matter one way or the other?
We are sometimes fighting for survival and it could help in fundraising.
We have a mandate to promote Israelite identity amongst probable descendants of Israel.
We try to do this through research which is as close to the truth as we may be able to get at present.
Nearly all other groups in effect boycotted us in the past (like some of their countries want to boycott Israel)
and mislead the public.
We are not complaining since this may have been to our benefit.
Napoleon said, He who stands alone stands strongest.
You may reply that this did not help Napoleon since he was eventually defeated.
Maybe he was, but he had a good innings and left a legacy that on the whole appears to have been positive.

6. Michelle Bowie: Question on the BIWF, Hesus the pagan god, and Esau
Re

#1. The BIWF and the Identification of Esau.
Shalom Yair,
Perhaps I'm confused or perhaps I have misinterpreted what was written, but there is a conflict here in your words (?)
Here, you point out that the BIWF is in error regarding "Hesus" that it is actually a form of Esau.
# 1. The BIWF and the Identification of Esau.
In the latest issue of the BIWF magazine "Covenant Nations" vol.3,
no. , 2015 p.22 there is an article identifying the Christian Messiah
with the Celtic god Hesus.
[We did not make this association. They did!]
They are apparently unaware that the name Hesus (i.e. Esus) derives
from the Phoenician variation of the name Esau. #
Here, you say that the BIWF is controlled by Edomites.

#2. Edomites Takes Control of British Israel World Federation
Let me also say that I have not heard of the BIWF until your newsletters and only know of them through this media. I have not even looked into their organization at all.
So, please forgive me if I am confused, but if they were Edomites at the influential levels , why wouldn't they promote that name "Hesus" as being their own founding father Esau??? I do hope you can clarify this as I am now quite confused.
Thank you, mb

Shalom,
Our original remarks concerning Edomites among the leadership of BIWF actually only concerned a very small portion of the BIWF people and they were in response to provocation.
The BIWF publishes and sells anti-Jewish literature even though MOST of their adherents are probably not aware of it and many of them may be pro-Jewish.
You may not have ever heard before of the BIWF but you most likely are familiar with the expression British Israel.
The BIWF for many people in Britain and the commonwealth is British Israel.
The leadership of the BIWF actually would prefer (so they told me) the designation of Christian Israelites.
Thje article in question identified the Celtic god Esus with the Christian messiah whom they consider to be God.
They were implying that the thep asgan Druids in worshipping Esus (Hesus) and a trinity had some kind of prophetic intuition foreshadowing Christianity.

"Bible Basics" shows how the Holy Name when it was first revealed to Moses was already accompanied by an instruction to hide its usage when the time came. The Romans descend from Edomites who once neighbored Israel. This explains their attempts to replace the Jews as the Chosen People and their misuse of the name for their own deity. The Holy Name Movement in the USA is a recent phenomenon with a patholigical attraction for dangerous and disturbed individuals. Correct Pronunciation of the Name in our time is NOT KNOWN to anybody. Claims to the contrary are false and misleading. Biblical Prophecy has 14 aims of instruction as explained by Don Isaac Abarbanel: 1. Divine Retribution. 2. Vengeance from Esau. 3. The Salvation and Redemption of Israel and the ingathering of the exiles. 4. THE TEN TRIBES WILL RETURN. 5. Coming out of Egypt as a Prototype. 6. There is a time limit after which Redemption has to come, deserved or not. 7. That the Redemption will occur a very long time after the Exile. 8. The Return of Prophecy. 9. Wayward Jews Return to Judaism. 10. Messiah son of David. 11. No More Exile. 12. Jerusalem will Teach the World. 13. There will be universal peace.14. Resurrection of the Dead.
The Ten Tribes were Exiled for Inventing their own Religious Beliefs! The Jewish Sages, on the other hand, received their authority from the Bible and deduced the will of the Almighty through the use of Biblically defined guidelines. This is still the case today. Contemporary Rabbinical authorities have an On-Going Decision-Making Ability derived from Scripture. In principle the literal meaning of the Bible is the one that is accepted. Realizing what the literal meaning really says is the aim of most Rabbinical reasoning. The Bible says that someone born of a Jewish mother is Jewish. This is a reality that needs to be accepted. Ruth came from Moab. She was a native of Moab and a foreigner to Israel. She accepted the God of Israel and the yoke of Torah and so became an Israelite. She did this through the authority of Rabbinical decisions. Anyone who denies the legitimacy of Rabbinical Oral Tradition challenges the legitimacy of Ruth and through her of King David and the future Messiah! One of the Tasks of Joseph i.e. of the Ten Tribes should be to support the learning of Torah and the application of its Laws by Judah! In Biblical Times a central authority was needed to decide how the Law was to be applied to the entire community. This must have been the case from the very beginning. It proves the Divine Origin of the Rabbinical Oral Law.
