1. Message from Baxter Miller (who attended the Hebron meeting):
We very much enjoyed the meeting today....[Editorial Note: Baxter is from NC, USA. He led the group of 8 who came by car from Arad. He explains why for various reasons they almost did not come but then at the last minute decided to do so]... We would have missed a great visit had we not taken action. It's easier to sit around and do nothing than take action and attend the "unknown". ... All the speakers had great points and terrific insight. A lot more than we know and understand is going on ...on many fronts. Thanks for what you're doing and continue to press foward... like the gentleman said, talk is one thing, taking action is what needs to happen. Shalom, Baxter Miller
2. Brian Patmore: Need for Unity Between Judah and the Ten Tribes.
Re: Brit-Am Now no. 1927: Ten Tribes Studies.
Shalom Brother Yair,
How wide is the horizon and scope for the meeting in Hebron !!
How much more could be said and enunciated in such a gathering with such an important and far reaching set of consequences !!
Truly, apart from Yahudah's being unaware of Ephraim, the lack of knowledge and understanding of identity and Torah amongst Ephraim, as well as Yahudah sets a sad state of affairs for the sons and daughters of Yaacov at this present time.
By this division the singularly greatest power/nation/commonwealth in the history of the world is floundering hopelessly, without identity, a common soul (Abba [Father] ) and hopelessly defenceless in the face of an enemy so bent on the destruction of Yaacov's children !!
If the nation (even though spread amongst many nations at present) was united in spirit and physically it would not be in danger and Abba [Father] would be in the fore-front of the nation's collective mind.
Mya Abba move the hearts of the brothers and sisters at the meeting, have an effect on the hearts of those already home in Israel and on the world.
May Abba bless you all.
Brian
3. Brian Sandridge: We need a Theodor Herzl!
Re Proposal for Hebron Declaration
I like.
But we need a Theodor Herzl; a man with a vision and willingness to leave no stone unturned to gain access to those with power. If you agree with me that America was sealed until it was the time for Joseph to be made manifest the world, then too, we might say that Samaria and Judea are sealed still.
The physical analogy of the iron plow, pulled by powerful European domestic animals such as oxen and horses to turn the otherwise non-productive Great Plains into the breadbasket of the world, applies to the current state of affairs of Samaria. It is being kept in limbo. Jewish settlements are under constant threat of being negotiated away, and "settlers" are at risk of being killed by Arabs or forcibly removed by the IDF. It is as if Samaria is being kept sealed. For whom?
For Joseph as in EZ. 28!
Herzl was considered a kook too. Yet, though he did not live to see even the outlines of the State of Israel, he was used to set in motion a train of events, still passing before our eyes today. (Long train crossing!)

4. John Carrington Richards:
Returning to the Guidance of Bible prophecy.
A. Recognize as Ephraimite -- see Jeremiah 3:18; Obadiah 17-21; Zechariah 10:3-10 (Isaiah 11:11-14) -- the six nations whose forces were involved along with the Jews in the reconquest of Israel in 1917-18:
Fighting in Palestine/Israel: Australia New Zealand U.K.
Standing in for them in Europe: France Italy U.S.
B. Set aside one or more areas in Israel for them to establish military bases here and for their citizens to settle. These areas could be enclosed by boundaries so long as the religious difference persists.
C. Open up to a strengthening of influence of the [Divine Inspiration] at least to the level of the era before the Assyrian exile of the House of Ephraim, and perhaps more -- see Jeremiah 3:14-15; 31:34; Ezekiel 37:23; Zechariah 13:2-5.
D. Accept Spiritual correction of major errors in both religions. The Christian alternative of denying the existence of Ephraim, while waiting for Jewish conversion to Christianity in preparation for the coming of the Messiah is unlikely to get anywhere. So is the Jewish alternative of blocking Christian immigration until their conversion to Judaism. Only the Bible alternative of separate Spiritual correction of both in Israel is likely to bring about a reunion under Messianic leadership - see Isaiah 11:13; Ezekiel 11:18-20; 36:24-28; 37:16-28.
E. Pray for divine guidance on any further questions, including the conquest of additional territory. (Meanwhile each Israeli resident should be prepared for the possibility that he or she will be asked to go back to other countries).
WARNING!
Accepting alternatives to Divine guidance can be LETHAL, Examples include the Roman (2nd cent.), Ukrainian (17th cent.) and Nazi German (20th cent.) massacres, as well as many lesser pogroms. Early in the 20th century Israel could have been repopulated much more pleasantly in conformity with Bible prophecy.
The Houses of Ephraim and Judah are now exposed to even greater danger, as the rapid growth of Chinese power and simultaneous economic slow-down in the West bring them nearer to equality. The Iranian-Israeli conflict could trigger a battle between the great powers that would extinguish terrible numbers of human beings. If the outcome is determined by the technological inventiveness of the West, a by-product could be an effective unification of Israel with western nations - a result that we could achieve much LESS PAINFULLY simply by following Bible prophecies.

6. Shelley Cadd: a wonderful start
This is a wonderful start, Yair. I'm just dreaming of the day when we
will be allowed to make aliyah, ourselves. I've had a very busy
summer, and am now back at the Shenzhen Polytechnic [China] to begin another
year of teaching English.
Shalom!
7. Steve Mathe: Prayer at Hebron Meeting
Yair,
Please make sure that we ask HaShem's Guidance at this meeting, and that we "listen to Him" then and there and after the delegates go home.
This week we read in Ki Tavo, [Deuteronomy] 29:4 Moseh's complaint that is true to this day:
Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear unto this day."
Feel free to blast the meeting with it if you have to, for it is NOT ACCIDENT that that is the reading for the is week of this meeting. If anything in this TT return movement we do not do enough of is LISTEN... TO HIM, the One who has resurrected us from the Valley of Dry Bones!
That is why prayer is so important.
My Motto is:
"Only Torah, prayer and repentance will unify the tribes of Israel.''
In this motto, the Torah is paramount where we need to be rooted in ALL things, i.e. identity, the prophecies / locations and timing.
"Prayer" refers to the absolute necessity of having His Guidance... we all need it, for in the consensus of uninspired opinions there is no wisdom although some thinks so, and have done so for centuries.
"Repentance" is also on the top of priorities ... because Moshe directs us to confess our sins and the sins of our fathers. I have written about this on shaar-israel.org. This also needs Divine Guidance
Steve
