Conclusion
Extract:
West Virginia was originally part of Virginia one of the 13 founding States of the USA. As a result of the Civil War (1861-65) it separated and was reconstituted as a separate state. There were Thirteen Tribes of Israel. In Biblical Terms however a quorum of 12 is maintained by either counting Ephraim and Manasseh as the one tribe of Joseph, or by counting them as separate Tribes and leaving out Levi, or (in one place) by Leaving Levi in but not specifically mentioning Simeon. The Thirteen Tribes of Israel are represented by the 13 Founding States of the USA. In a sense the US may be divided into 13 sections with each part emanating from one of the original 13 states.  Today, indications are that about half the descendants of Israel are to be found within the USA. In symbolic terms the USA is dominated by the Tribes of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh), especially Manasseh but physically members of all the Tribes are present.

2. Bill Rasmussen: American election and Torah reading Parashas Vayeira
Yair, I remember a Rabbi once saying that when we have a major world event, look that the Torah reading for that particular time. Well, the Torah reading is Bereshit [Genesis] 18:1 to 22:24. In this Parashas [Episode] we have 3 men visit Abraham and Sarah laughing at the news that she will have a child at an advanced age. Then, we have the destruction of Sodom and Gemorrah, the flight from there by Lot, his wife and daughters, the incestuous events between Lot and his daughters and Abraham offering up Isaac on Mt. Moriah.
Well, we lost an election that may be pivotal, not only for the United States, but certainly for Israel and in a way, the rest of the world. America is becoming more depraved. Here in Minnesota, an amendment to the State Constitution to make marriage between a man and woman was defeated, marijuana legalization happened in Colorado and Washington as well as the nation divided like no time since the Civil War.
We all are familiar why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. In part, it was their greed. Another part was the way they treated strangers and finally, there was the vile sex that was going on. Sadly, America seems hell bent on doing the same. Our president in a sense, it a type of Lot, one who would go away from an Abraham and do his own thing. [As an aside, it is hard to imagine why Lot would not have wanted to sit at the feet of a great teacher like Abraham, but the lure of money and power often do this.] The same goes for President Obama. He has chosen a path away from righteousness and is heading the country towards destruction. He and his admirers only see the green fields of Sodom and Gomorrah, but to the rest of us, it is a decision that could spell the doom of America.
Might HaShem be allowing this to force his people to wake up, both Jews and Christians? Now is a time to mourn, a time to fast, a time to repent and a time for prayer. This may also be a prelude to the Israelites waking up from their spiritual slumber as I am concerned that Israel will be thrown under the bus by the Obama administration. We are living on the edge of a cliff-financially and spiritually. The good news is that I have read the Book and we win in the end. Am Yisrael Chai. -Bill Rasmussen
3. Question on What Should Hispanics of Israelite Descent Do?
Re Brit-Am Now no. 1946
#3. Question on Spain.
Dear Yair,
 Thank you very much indeed for your answer. Now, I would like to illustrate it with a concrete question.
 Should Spanish, Portugueses, Brazilian and Hispanics follow the United States (Manasseh)? By joining Britam? By joining the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem?
 Thank you very much indeed.
 Yours faithfully,
 Roberto Bravo

This is a difficult question.
In general,
====
(a) Re National Adherence:
ALL inhabitants of the USA or any other Israelite nations should identify with that nation. In the case of the USA this could mean accepting the Israelite Identity of the nation.
Those who dwell elsewhere should be loyal citizens of their place of dwelling BUT also look for the good of Israelite Nations and of Judah through the State of Israel.
Your question in effect encompasses the two options.
Israelite heritage may be expressed by either:
(1. Support for the State of Israel; and/or
(2. Support for the USA and other Israelite Nations. The two options COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER but which will be emphasized is a different matter.
This answer jars with present reality in so far as blacks and Hispanics have overwhelmingly voted for Obama even though the results may be inimical to Israel.
Non-religious Jews also voted similarly.
This is a problem for you and others to resolve.
(b) Hebrew Nations.
At present one in effect joins us by being subscribed to us and sending us contributions etc.
By helping us one is in deed helping both Israel and the Israelite cause.
Also there are organizations for people of Jewish Spanish (Sephardic) origin or who believe they may be so.
A web search should produce several possibilities in this direction.
God bless you
Yair

(1) Rubbish!
kobi4u on The Celts Called Themselves Hebrews!
 Rubbish! read your bible and forget this rubbish. Tribes never lost, all 12 tribes in Israel today.
(2) Yair keeps on
What I would like to say is "Yair keeps on.... If he's correct, we certainly have much to consider as far as "who's who" & what HaShem is/isn't doing currently, eh?"

5. Queries Concerning the Messiah and Redemption.
Don Wyant asked:
Brother Davidiy.. I have some questions that I think are common to many who are being regathered. It goes without saying that your answers are not absolute truth, but are you sincere and honest understanding. Thank you for your patience and hard work.
1) In your understanding, what is the role of Messiah in regathering Israel.
2) When Ephraim regathers, in your doctrine, are they "under Judah" or are they part of an independent confederation of Tribes that are the whole of Israel as equals or are Ephramites subordinate to Judah?
3) If someone is not a "bloodline" Ephramite, can they be grafted in by keeping Torah and belief in Messiah - with or without rabbinic blessing?
Thank you for your explanation - Don Wyant, HebrewNationRadio.com
Brit-Am Reply:
See what we wrote concerning the Messiah son of David and the Messiah son of Joseph. (1) Even if one does not accept these notions the principle remains all the same. Before the Messiah son of David comes the Ten Tribes and Judah will go through certain experiences that will prepare them for the End Times. The knowledge we have may be of help during this stage. (2) Ezekiel 37 and Isaiah 11 both spoke of the reunification of Judah and Joseph. Neither is subordinate to the other. The Rabbinical Sage Malbim opined that at first Judah, in the political sense, would be secondary to Joseph. (3) You can be grafted into Joseph by being accepted by Joseph (Ezekiel 47:22-23) and into Judah by fulfilling the conditions that Judah requires.

A Portion of Judah will be the first to Return. This is the present State of Israel. At First they will be Reluctant to Receive the Ten Tribes and Assimilated non-Identifiable Jews but after that they will. The Tribes will Return at first Physically and AFTER THAT in the Religious Sense; Judah needs the Return of Samaria (Manasseh and Israel) both physically and spiritually for the sake of Its own Redemption; Judah will teach Joseph; The Ten Tribes will Return and Help Judah Rehabilitate the Land of Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates. The Rest of Judah will then Return.

It is to be remarked that as important as these questions may be the main point at present is to emphasize WHO THE TEN TRIBES ARE!
