1. Answers to 3 Questions:
Michelle (from the Netherlands):
I have a few question, i sure hope that you like to answer my questions
I watch your video's all the time
I find them very very interesting
1) You say in the video's that the ten tribes lost their identity and they do not know who they are
Can you please tell me where in the bible can i read that.
I have a friend in Israel and i told him about the 10 tribes, that they don't know who they are
and He does not believe that. He says that that is not in the bible
2)
If I've taken a DNA test (a test into my ethnicity) and the result says I'm, say, 3% Jew, am I a descendant of the 10 Lost Tribes? Or is that not certain? Or does there have to be a certain percentage to qualify as Hebrew ancestry?
3)in psalm 110: 1-2 it says
The LORD says to my lord:
'Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.'
The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,
'Rule in the midst of your enemies!'
Can you tell me who is The Lord his lord? Who wil rule and is priest in the order of Melchizedek?
Thank you i am greatfull
Gods bless you and keep you!
greetings from Michelle from Holland (the Netherlands)

(1. Where does the Bible say the 10 Tribes are lost?
The Ten Tribes were exiled. They are separate from Judah, not known to Judah, and not recognized as part of the Chosen People.
They are lost and in an ongoing process of being lost. Judah at first will not recognize them and not want to. The Ten Tribes will have intermixed with Gentiles Peoples especially those associated with Gomer son of Japhet.
For sources see:
LTTs in the Bible
Scriptural Descriptions of the Lost Ten Tribes
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/biblical-proof/attributes/ltts.html
6. The Ten Tribes were conquered and exiled by the Assyrians. Isaiah-9: Exiled. 1. The Stages of Exile.
8. Only in the End Times (or close to them) will Judah and Ephraim re-unite. They have not yet done so. Isaiah 11: 12-13, Ezekiel 37:37-19-22, Jeremiah 3:18, Isaiah 27:13
9. Ten Tribes to be known as "Not be Shown Mercy" exclusive of Judah, Ten Tribes also to be known as "Not my People." Hosea 1:6-8.
11. Separate from Judah: Isaiah 11:12-13 49:21.
13. The Ten Tribes are referred to as having been "LOST," or rather "still being lost," (Hebrew: "Ha-Ovdim"present tense) in Assyria, Isaiah 27:13.
17. Not known to Judah: Isaiah 49:13-14, 21. Hosea 1:7
The Ten Tribes will have gotten lost (Isaiah 24:3, 49:13-14, 21 Hosea 1:8, Jeremiah 3:6-7) not Judah (Ezra 2:2 2:59 2:70 3:1 etc., Ezekiel 2:3, 3:5 8:10 8:11 9:8 14:1, etc.) .
18. At first Judah will be reluctant to recognize Joseph (Isaiah 49:21) but eventually Judah and Joseph will re-unite (Ezekiel ch.37).
19. Ephraim (the Ten Tribes) to assimilate among the Gentiles, Hosea 7:9.
20. Gomer: Linkage with European nations; Ephraim Intermixed with the Gentiles. Hosea chapter one. Hosea 7:8.
(2. Ethnic DNA tests, are they pertinent to Brit-Am beliefs?
Wikipedia tells us:
Ethnicity estimates
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test#Ethnicity_estimates
Many companies offer a percentage breakdown by ethnicity or region. Generally the world is specified into about 20-25 regions, and the approximate percentage of DNA inherited from each is stated. This is usually done by comparing the frequency of each Autosomal DNA marker tested to many population groups.[25] The reliability of this type of test is dependent on comparative population size, the number of markers tested, the ancestry informative value of the SNPs tested, and the degree of admixture in the person tested. Earlier ethnicity estimates were often wildly inaccurate, but as companies receive more samples over time, ethnicity estimates have become more accurate. Testing companies such as Ancestry.com will often regularly update their ethnicity estimates, which has caused some controversy from customers as their results update.[61][62] Usually the results at the continental level are accurate, but more specific assertions of the test may turn out to be incorrect.
In other words if you want to know whether your ancestors came from Europe, Asia, or Africa, or Austrlia, the Ethnic tests are reliable and perhaps more than that.
DNA tests can be valuable. They may trace your ancestry back for hundreds of years maybe a thousand, 2000, or a bit more. After that however we doubt that they worth much.

(3.Psalm 110 and the Messiah.
Psalm (NKJV) 110.
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD said to my Lord,
'Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.'
2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.
Rule in the midst of Your enemies! Your people shall be volunteers
In the day of Your power;
In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,
You have the dew of Your youth.
4 The LORD has sworn
And will not relent,
'You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.'
The expression "my Lord" in Hebrew "adoni" was used by Sarah in referring to her husband Abraham.
Some opinions say the expression here refers to David but most (e.g. the Sages, Rashi, Iben Ezra, Radak) apply the expression to Abraham
Abraham met up with Melchizedek. The Israelites were descendants and heirs of Abraham.
The Israelites were destined to become a holy nation and a kingdom of priests.
Sources:
Genesis (NKJV) 14:
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High.
19 And he blessed him and said:
'Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.'
And he gave him a tithe of all.
Genesis (NKJV) 14:
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, 'After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord [Hebrew: "adoni"] being old also?'
Exodus (KNJV) 19:
6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.

Are Ultra-Orthodox Jews the Modern Day Pharisees?
Do Ultra-Orthodox Jews want all Jews to become ultra-Orthodox Jews?
https://www.quora.com/Do-ultra-Orthodox-Jews-want-all-Jews-to-become-ultra-Orthodox-Jews/answer/Yair-Davidiy
Extract:
By Ultra-Orthodox you mean Haredim.
"Haredim" is the plural of the word "Hared," meaning fearful and sometimes translated as "trembles."
The nouns "Hared" (singular) and Haredim" (plural) are found in Isaiah ch.66:
Isaiah (NKJV) 66:
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,
Says the LORD.
But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles [Hebrew: "HARED"] at My word.
5 Hear the word of the LORD,
You who tremble [Hebrew: "HAREDIM"] at His word:
Your brethren who hated you,
Who cast you out for My names sake, said,
Let the LORD be glorified,
That we may see your joy.
But they shall be ashamed.
These words of Isaiah really are descriptive of what the Haredim are.
They are God-fearing. They are hated by many of their fellow-Jews out of spite, jealousy, ignorance, and the resentment of those who are not like them.
Some Haredim take the attitude that all Jews should be like them. The general consensus however is that they are what they are because they have no real choice. Belief in God and the Torah leads them to this. They do not deny the possibility that other pathways exists possibly more efficacious for the Jews taking them.
We have employed the analogy of an army before. In the armed forces one finds all kinds of soldiers.
The most extreme expression of being a soldier may perhaps be found among the COMMANDOS.
The Army needs them but most soldiers are not expected to be like them.
Josephus describes different groups in Second Temple times. Among these were the "Parushim" or Pharisees. The word "Parush" connotes "Separate." These were Religious Jews who took upon themselves extra stringencies and separated themselves somewhat from the mass of the people.
Many of the leading Sages kept Pharisaic practices but not all of them. Today they are paralleled by the Haredim.

Hareidi Jews descended from King David?
re
Why is red hair so commonly associated with European Jews?
https://www.quora.com/Why-is-red-hair-so-commonly-associated-with-European-Jews/answer/Yair-Davidiy
David had redhair. So do many of the Hareidim.
It was prophesied that in the future BOTH the descendants of David and the Levites would be multiplied exceedingly.
Jeremiah (NASB) 33:19 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 'Thus says the LORD, "If you can break My covenant for the day and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time, 21 then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant so that he will not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be counted and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me."'
Addenda
Based on empirical evidence in our time we found indications that redhaired Jews are endemic to Jewish groups everywhere and that the phenomenon existed from Biblical Times. We also found that it exists among certain groups of Hareidi Jews more than others, especially more than the secular community. David was redhaired. Traditions of descent from David were common among Ashkenazic Jews as well as being found in some Sephardic families. We suggested that descendants of David naturally tended to converge in certain Hareidi Jewish communities.
Jewish correspondents opinionated that the redhair originated from external sources.
One said that redhair in his family traditionally was linked to contact with the Cossacks.
Another attributed it to Jews in Hungary intermarrying with the Cuman Turks many of whom were reportedly blondish.
The Jews however are more redheaded than the Cossacks are. The Cossacks seem to have been mainly dark brunettes with some blonds.
Rufosity (being red-haired) among Jews has interested Jewish and non-Jewish researchers for 200 years or more. As far as I know no-one found any exceptional incidence of the phenomenon among Jews from Hungary. There was however an exceptionally high incidence in the region of Galicia (southeastern Poland and western Ukraine) which neighbors Hungary..
The Khazars are also a possibility. Some of them were redheaded. They believed themselves to be descended from the Ten Tribes. Arab reports (quoted by Avraham Polak, "Kuzaria," Tel Aviv, 1950) indicate their Royal House was descended from Jesse, i.e. David.

The Red Jews were a mythical people that was fabled to reside in isolation, at the fringes of the known world, and envisioned as a tribe of ruddy-faced, red-headed Jewish warriors, replete with red beards and bedecked in red attire. They are generally identified with the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel who, according to a familiar Jewish legend, had been living in an unknown place since becoming exiled in the eighth century BCE when the Assyrians destroyed their ancient kingdom.

Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.
20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear
21 so that I return safely to my father's household, then the LORD will be my God
22 and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's House, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth."
Malachi 3:
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,
Says the LORD of hosts,
'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the first of all your produce,
10 so your barns will be filled with abundance,
and your vats will burst open with new wine.
