Queries concerning Adversaries
(1) What do you think of the Karaites attempting to use the Name of God and being hosted by others otherwise allied (or formerly allied) to Brit-Am?
Here are some Brit-Am articles relevant to the Karaites.

The Ten Tribes should want to seek a unity of purpose and direction with Judah.
This does not mean conversion to Judaism (except in special cases) but it does entail a belief in Scripture and a meeting of the Minds and sympathy for the Jews of Today.
Brit-Am employs 5 Criteria concerning the Lost Ten Tribes (LTTs).
1. Scripture: Biblical Evidence predicting whereto the Lost Ten Tribes would go, what type of religion and government they would have, etc.This includes Blessings, and Physical Characteristics.
2, Historical feasibility. Groundwork: Archaeological, Linguistics, and Related Proofs showing paths of migration.
This includes. Familial Connections. Being Part of an ethnic family, related to each other.
3. Judah: Affinity with the Jews: This entails proven feelings of kinship and sympathy with the Jews and a Relative Lack of Anti-Semitism when compared with others.
4. Light to the Nations. A Civilizing Influence.
5. Intrinsic Evidence. Characteristics that emanate from the "soul" of the people.
This includes Israelite Self-Identification and/or Tribal Equation. Points in History where some kind of identification with the early Hebrews was asserted, OR in which Israelite tribes traits came to expression.
The Karaites are spiritual inheritors of suspected-pagan Samaritans and the atheistic Sadducees.
The Karaites who speak to Christians are a small handful of people some of whom are Jewish and some of whom are not. Historically they were often anti-Jewish.
In their eyes Yair Davidiy would not be Jewish since Yair is sanctified as Jewish through the ruling of Scripture as explained in Rabbinical Sources and abided by Orthodox Jews.
The Karaites are considered descendants of Jews (in some cases) but no more than that.
They are not friends of ours. They are also against the idea of the LTTs being among Western Peoples.
One of their prominent leaders in the English-speaking world, Nehemiah Gordon, spoke against the beliefs of Brit-Am concerning who the LTTs are.
Regarding others who have a similar message (in Identity matters) to Brit-Am we find:
Stephen Collins, Raymond McNair, various other writers among offshoots of Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, and maybe a few others. Also some British Israel writings, etc., to all be of value.
These without exception respect Jews and do not involve themselves with Jewish matters and do not misuse the Name of God.
Others that we have come across try to pronounce the NAME of God and are usually anti-Semites.
Also some of them consider the Jews to be impostors but the Germans to be members of the LTTs.
(2) Germans and American Germans.
There is also a group, or several groups? - in Germany which is quite strong.
Their leaders seem to be former "Ephraimites" in the religious sense emphasizing belief in Israelite Ancestry (or "spiritual belonging") more than anything else.
They want to come and live in Israel as citizens (or its equivalent) without converting to Judaism. There are others like that in the USA.
Brit-Am disagrees with them. The Lost Ten Tribes as a group will have their Israelite Ancestry affirmed to them. At least a portion of them will later settle in the area of Greater Israel while the lands they now live in will also be elevated (in some cases) to the spiritual level of the Land of Israel.
Historically the Great Migration to the USA from Europe (especially from Germany) came from elements that to some degree had remained separate from their neighbors.
In some respects they were a different people.

Extract from:
"Joseph USA" by Yair Davidiy, 2024:
A major wave of emigration from Germany to the USA occurred in the 1800s. This wave provided much of the source material upon which we based our claims. In Germany there had always been elements (chiefly in the cities) that were more freedom-loving and less subject to control. They were constantly rebelling and being suppressed. They were especially dominant in the Rhineland and West. They were less anti-semitic than other groups. They included many Anabaptists and members of small erratic religious sects. Socially, economically, and politically they did not really belong in Germany and felt it. From these groups came many of those who migrated to the USA.
Stan Nadel, a researcher of Historical Sociology at Southwestern Oklahoma State University found that amongst the immigrants to the USA from Germany there was relatively little anti-semitism. This was despite that fact that in Germany at that time anti-semitism was deeply entrenched. It was respectable and even considered "scientifically" justified. It was prevalent everywhere, at all levels of German society. Even Jews were infected by it and hated their own kind as they hurried to the baptismal fount. The emigrants to the USA however seem not to have been influenced by the poison of Jew-hatred. Nadel says that in his view those groups that migrated to the USA from Germany had never allowed themselves while in Germany to be polluted by the prevailing trends. They had always been different. ....
Together with the above it should be noted that many promoters of anti-Semitism and Jew-haters in general in the USA at a later date were of German origin. The possibility of mixed (Israelite and non-Israelite) origins must also be allowed for.

In some cases emigration to an Israelite-dominated Bible-friendly region should be considered.
Not everything has a clear-cut answer but through prayer and learning a way forward will be found.
