Manasseh ben Israel and America Today
#10. The Exiles will Fly Back. Redemption Begins from America.
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/america/america2cont.html
Menesseh ben Israel thought the Amerindians to be at least in part descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes. Part of his evidence included Biblical verses referring to the End Times.
He lived in the 1600s and like many others of his age evidently believed that the End Times were just around the corner.
The verses quoted spoke in his view of the Ten Tribes coming back from America. The USA as a nation at that time did not exist. It now does. The USA today (in the 2020s) fits Biblical prophecy much better.
In at least two instances the prophecies quoted indicated a return by flying. These days we fly in aeroplanes. It is quite common and relatively easy. In the 1600s they did not have aeroplanes and may not have even imagined the possibility of such things.
We may therefore take Menesseh as having been correct concerning a future return from America but being mistaken as to who the returnees were to be.
Isaiah 60:
8 WHO ARE THESE WHO FLY LIKE A CLOUD,
AND LIKE DOVES TO THEIR ROOSTS?
Hosea 11:
10 THEY SHALL WALK AFTER THE LORD.
HE WILL ROAR LIKE A LION.
WHEN HE ROARS,
THEN HIS SONS SHALL COME TREMBLING FROM THE WEST;
11 THEY SHALL COME TREMBLING LIKE A BIRD FROM EGYPT,
LIKE A DOVE FROM THE LAND OF ASSYRIA.
AND I WILL LET THEM DWELL IN THEIR HOUSES,
SAYS THE LORD.
i.e.
Isaiah 60:
8 WHO ARE THESE WHO FLY LIKE A CLOUD,
AND LIKE DOVES TO THEIR ROOSTS?
Hosea 11:
10 ...THEN HIS SONS SHALL COME TREMBLING FROM THE WEST;
11 THEY SHALL COME TREMBLING LIKE A BIRD FROM EGYPT,
LIKE A DOVE FROM THE LAND OF ASSYRIA....

(b) New Video.
Names of Israelite Tribes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xt9vahSYIM
Duration: 24.15 minutes
The Book of Genesis, chs. 29, 30, describes how the wives of Jacob (who was renamed Israel) named their 12 sons, what the names mean, and what they commemorate.
According to Talmudic Tradition at the time the names were given the Matriarchs who gave them had Prophetic Inspiration. The names have significance concerning the Tribal Character of they who bore them and of their future destiny.

3. Brit-Am Zoom Forum Meetings in the Near Future.
Next week, Tuesday, 13 December, 2022, 2300 Israeli Time, we will have another meeting.
A formal notice will go out later.
That will be our fourth meeting so far.
After that we hope to have more meetings, ca. one every 2 weeks (for awhile at least), every Tuesday at the same time.
All the meetings will be filmed but only selected excerpts (if any) will be posted to the Yair Davidiy YouTube Station. The remaining film will probably be deleted.
The subject for next week will probably be a talk on Messiah son of Joseph concerning whom additional sources will probably be posted before then to our web-site.
The conduction of the meetings will be changed a little.
So too, apart from the regular meetings Yair may (or may not) invite Brit-Am subscribers to attend impromptu ZOOM talks when giving a lecture, or talk, etc.
If you are interested in any particular subect being discussed please send us a note.

4. Reconciliation - Biblical Sources.
Jeremiah 31:
20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
Therefore My heart yearns for him;
I will surely have mercy on him, says the LORD.
Isaiah (NKJV) 11:
12 He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
13 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart,
And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
Ezekiel (NKJV) 37:
19 say to them, 'Thus says the LORD God: "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand." ' 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 Then say to them, 'Thus says the LORD God: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.
Jeremiah (NKJV) 3:
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers.
Jeremiah (NKJV) 30:
3 For behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah, says the LORD. And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
Zechariah (NKJV) 10:
6 I will strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back,
Because I have mercy on them.
They shall be as though I had not cast them aside;
For I am the LORD their God,
And I will hear them.
Zechariah 10:
10 I will bring them home from the land of Egypt,
and gather them from Assyria;
I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon,
until there is no room for them.
Micah 7:
14 Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock that belongs to you,
which lives alone in a forest
in the midst of a garden land;
let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old.
The Master Plan. Rectification in Rabbinical Thought
Rabbi Moshe David VALI (1697- 1776):
# It is a known matter that Israel did not descend into the Realms of Pollution other than for the Need to Clarify his Destiny. He needed to fulfill the will of God and reform the world through redirecting its forces. When this is done they shall return to their Source. There will be no need to remain in that situation any more. This is the meaning of, 'Ephraim shall say, 'What have I to do anymore with idols?'" (Hosea 14:8). #
How Re-Unification will take place we do not know but Prophecy speaks of it.

5. Questions from Michael Greenwood:
==========
(a) The Darkness of Egypt. Do any old writings tell or speculate the days of darkness that fell on Egypt. The darkness that could be felt!!!
Brit-Am Reply:
The Ipuwer Papyrus was made during the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, (1292-1189 BCE) but believed to be a copy of an earlier work (1991-1803 BCE). These dates are unreliable but they may well relate back to the time of the Israelites being in Egypt.
It mentions a river of blood and various calamities that might recall the plagues. It also speaks of the land of Egypt being covered with darkness.
https://www.hermetics.org/exodus.html
# According to Velikovsky and recent theories, such volcanic eruptions would explain the darkness, and hail and lightning are known to accompany volcanic explosions of great magnitude. On a recent event, a river in America turned red. With the poisoning of waters, frogs and other amphibian reptiles would roam the land. Later they would die to create flies and lice, which would spread boils and disease. Recent discoveries of mass graves from this period in the Avaris region tend to confirm the theory of a plague.
An interesting article on this matter may be seen here:
Plagues of Egypt: Proved?
A document describing Egypt's sudden downfall is suspiciously similar to the Exodus account.

(b) Question on Saul and His Consorts.
Who do they say took Saul during the festival wife raid? Which tribes were Sauls wives and or concubines from ??
Brit-Am Reply:
We have an article on this,
see:
Wife of Saul. How did Achinoam become Consort of the Future King?
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/achinoam.html
(1) The wife of Saul was named Achinoam daughter of Achimaats. Achinoam was the mother of Yehonatan, Malkishua, Yehonadav, Yishvi (also known as "Ish Boshet") and her daughters Merav, Mical.
(2) Saul may have had more wives and concubines. One of the concubines of Saul was Ritspa daughter of Aya.
One of the concubines of David was Achinoam the Jezre'elitess. In one opinion she was the widow of Saul. Only a king is allowed to marry the widow of another king.
We do not know which Tribes these women were from.
Many of the Tribe of Benjamin had taken wives from the dancing damsels at Shiloh.
Judges (NASB) 21:
20 And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, "Go and lie in wait in the vineyards, 21 and watch; and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to take part in the dances, then you shall come out of the vineyards, and each of you shall seize his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. 22 And when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, we shall say to them, 'Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, otherwise you would now be guilty.' " 23 The sons of Benjamin did so, and took wives according to their number from those who danced, whom they seized. And they went and returned to their inheritance, and rebuilt the cities and lived in them. 24 And the sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and each one departed from there to his inheritance.
Shiloh was in the territory of Ephraim according to mainstream opinion. This would mean that there was a strong Genetic Input on the female side from Ephraim among the Tribe of Benjamin.
Another opinion says that Shiloh actually belonged to Benjamin but even if it did we may assume that at that time most of its inhabitants were from Ephraim.
Another points is that,
Shiloh was the site of the Tabernacle that preceded the Temple. Its population would therefore have included officiating Cohens (preists) and Levites from the Tribe of Levi.
Some of their daughters may have been among the dancing bachelorettes.

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.
