 1. New Source. Messiah son of Joseph Hinted at in Scripture
The "Shelah" (Yishaiah Ha Levi Horovitz, b. 1558, Prague) on Genesis 48:29, tells us:
# The Messiah son of Joseph will come before the Messiah son of David.
This is hinted at in Isaiah:Isaiah 11:
11 Then it will happen on that day that the LORD,
Will again [Hebrew: "Yosef"] take possession of, the second time with His hand,
The remnant of His people, who will remain,
From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the islands of the sea.
[Explanation: This whole passage in Isaiah 11 is speaking of the ingathering of both Judah and the Ten Tribes in the Last Days.
The expression translated as "will again" in Hebrew is "Yosef" which also means JOSEPH!]
#The first ingathering of all Israel only took place at the coming out of Egypt.
The return from Babylon only involved 42,000.
The majority of Israel [i.e. the Ten Tribes] had been exiled to Halah and Habor, the river of Gozan, and the cities of the Medes (2-Kings 17:6).
The Future Ingathering will be as it was in the coming out of Egypt. All of Israel shall be gathered together. #

URIM AND THUMMIM. Answers from God
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/urim.html
Josephus associated the shoulder clasps (the onyx stones, "avnei ha-shoham") with the Urim and Breastplate. He says that from the shoulder clasps there also emanated shining lights.
Note that Josephus says above the Urim and Thummim continued to be used until ca. 200 year before his time i.e. the era of the Maccabees.
One opinion in the Talmud (Sota 48) says the Urim ceased to be effective after the death of David and Solomn. Another opinion (also in the Talmud Sota 48) says that it was after the Destruction of the First Temple and demise of the Early Prophets. The Commentary, "Mesheck Chocmah," (Meir Simcha of Dvinsk,1843-1926, in "Acharei Mot") resolves the apparent contradiction. He says that after the death of Solomon Israel was divided between Judah and the Ten Tribes. The division lowered their spiritual potential. Henceforth the Urim were no longer as potent as they had been though to some degree they were still used.

3. Hebrew Nations Site Hacked and Unhacked
Recently our site http://hebrewnations.com/ was hacked.
The problem has now been solved.
Any Google Search messages saying otherwise (e.g. "This site may be hacked")
are apparently not up to date.

4. Yair and the Disease of Kings.
Yair is now recovering from a relatively moderate gout attack.
Some matters may go a little slower than usual for a few days.
Gout has been called the "Disease of Kings" since several monarchs were afflicted by it.
This may go all the way back to King Asa of Judah.
1-Kings 15:
23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa and all his might and all that he did and the cities which he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.Â

5. So-Called Bnei Menashe Not from the Lost Ten Tribes
We have seen on different media outlets claims that the so-called Bnei Manasseh of Burma had Israelite traditions and customs.
The Bnei Manasseh did not make these claims themselves but others invent them in their name.
These claims are not true as far as known sources relate, on the contrary.Â
Bnei Menashe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnei_Menashe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prior to conversion in the 19th century to Christianity by Welsh Baptist missionaries, the Chin, Kuki, and Mizo peoples were animists; among their practices were ritual headhunting. Since the late 20th century, some of these peoples have begun following Messianic Judaism. The Bnei Menashe are a small group who started studying and practicing Judaism since the 1970s in a desire to return to what they believe is the religion of their ancestors. The total population of Manipur and Mizoram is more than 3.7 million. The Bnei Menashe number below 9,000; several hundred have emigrated to Israel.
A person may believe what they will but some basis in actuality should be required.
On the other hand,
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations beliefs are correct.
To what proportion of the populations involved they apply is another question.
What the peoples concerned should do about it all is still an additional conundrum.
Nevertheless, we are on the right track and may go forward with that awareness.
cf.
1-Chronicles 28:
9 'As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. 10 Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be courageous and act.'
