The North

The North Country:

The Lost Ten Tribes will also return from the North which is a major center of theirs. Barry Fell claimed that the Phoenicians referred to North America as the "Great North Land." The Phoenicians at one stage included members of Ancient Israelite Tribes in their ranks.

Jeremiah at one level is speaking of the situation in his own time. The Israelite Exiles as part of the Scythian forces did succeed in breaking the yoke of the Assyrian Empire and providing assistance to Judah under King Josiah the son of Amon. On another level Jeremiah is referring to the Messianic Era and the period leading up to it: Meaning (it would seem) our own time. The task of Judah was to keep the Law and to develop it. Judah did this but perhaps not as well and as fully as it should have.

The task of Israel (The Lost Ten Tribes) was that of a nation: they were to reform the Gentile peoples from within and elevate them; to establish a sense of justice and order in the world; to help others; to set up governmental systems and social values that would serves as examples to others; they were also supposed to protect Judah and assist Judah to return to the Land of Canaan and set up the State of Israel therein. All of these tasks were basically achieved to a degree. They are also judged according to the surroundings and jumping-off point they were started off upon.

THE NORTH: Most of the Lost Ten Tribes are in the North when the Land of Israel is taken as the reference point. They are being called upon to repent.

The Lost Ten Tribes relatively speaking may have fulfilled at least part of the task that was laid upon them but they are still lacking. They must repent of their idolatry.

ZION: Represents Jerusalem: Initially a token number will be pioneers and return to re-unite with Judah. Later the majority will follow and inherit their own territories in the Middle East and region.

Solomon 1;16). Israel says: Behold thou art fair, my love When you will take retribution from the worshippers of idols. Yea pleasant when you pay the reward of those who fear you. Also our bed: These are the Ten Tribes. [In Hebrew bed is eres while ten is eser and uses the same letters, and our bed (erseynu) sounds like our ten (esereynu).] They are those who were exiled beyond the Sambation River. The exiles of Judah and Benyamin [i.e. the present-day Jews] are destined to go unto them and bring them back in order to merit with them the Messianic Era and life in the World-To-Come. This is as it says, In those days the house of Judah shall go unto the house of Israel and they shall come together out of the land of the north unto the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers (Jeremiah 3;18). -Yalkut Shimeoni, Song of Solomon 905.

The verse (Jeremiah 3:18) should be read according to the above as: THE HOUSE OF JUDAH SHALL GO UNTO [rather than WALK WITH] THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.  People from Judah and Benjamin (i.e. legal Jews) shall go unto the Lost Ten Tribes who are beyond the Sambation River. In our works (Ephraim and the Tribes) we explained that the Sambation River means Israelite Exiles who migrated to the west. The simple meaning is that Jews from Judah will go unto the Lost Tribes to bring them back. It could be said that the Jewish members of Brit-Am Israel is doing this to some degree.

There is an additional explanation.

Captive Jews
Since beginning this project and making contact with numerous people who are interested in the subject and studying it we have noticed an interesting phenomenon. Many non-Jews (Gentiles) who agree with us that the Lost Ten Tribes are in the West and feel an inner urge to learn this message and in some cases help spread it also believe they have Jewish origins. Sometimes this belief of Jewish origins is based on known facts concerning one or other of their ancestors.  In other cases the feeling of Jewish origins is based on flimsy evidence but nevertheless the feeling exists. Such feelings do not appear from nowhere and probably derive from an inner awareness of their true ancestry. The people in question are often those who are now helping spread knowledge and attitudes that will lead to the Return of the Lost Ten Tribes. The role of these people in future will increase. These Lost Jews are also fulfilling the Prophecy of Jeremiah  (3:18). They have gone out from Judah to Israel and they are beginning to bring Israel back from the Land of the North. We refer to these people as Captive Jews though Lost Jews may be more appropriate. We used the term Captive Jews (rather than Assimilated Jews or something similar) since in many cases Jews were forced or heavily pressured to change their religion and cease being Jewish against their will. Descendants of these Lost Jews or Captive Jews are often the leaders who are bringing their fellow Captive Jews as well as the Lost Tribes back to their source.

 

I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN: God will return and acknowledge the Lost Ten Tribes as His people alongside Judah. This will be known to all. The Lost Ten Tribes will no longer be lost. At present they are Lost: Most of them are not aware of their true Israelite identity and this identity is not known to others.

God says to Israel, You are my sons and I am your father, as it says: [Deuteronomy 14:1] 

Notice the linkage of North Country, coasts of the earth, Israel, Ephraim, and "Isles afar off".
