2. Query from Steven Collins
re
Tribal Symbols. What are the symbols of the twelve tribes of Israel?
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/quora/tentribes/symbols.html
Shalom Yair,
Just checked the link on the tribal symbols. I've seen some listings of tribal symbols that give the sword as a symbol of Simeon. Are you familiar with such symbolism?
Steve
===============================
Reply:
Shalom Steven, Good to hear from you. I have seen the sword symbol. Every time I go into a synagogue I look for the Tribal Symbols. I am always looking for variations. The Tribal Symbols are frequently used as decorations in Orthodox Synagogues. They are usually the only illustrations to be found. I assume the sword symbol for Simeon is based on the blessing of Jacob to Levi and Simeon,
Genesis (NASB) 49:
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; Their swords are implements of violence.
HaShem be with you,
Your friend, Yair

3. Question from Norman Willis
Dear Yair,
How are you doing? I hope you are well. A devout Chabad rebbetzin [i. e. Rabbinical female teacher, or wife of Rabbi ]Â with family in Israel
told me that it is "common knowledge" among "Orthodox Jews" that the Christians are the lost tribes. I think she may have meant the
Chabad and the Chasidim, but she was very adamant that it was not a secret amongst the devout.
You are always such a wealth of information, could you please comment?
===============================
Brit-Am Reply:
Never heard of it .... If there is any evidence to the contrary I would be very interested to hear of it. In our Biblical Proofs identifying the Lost Ten Tribes we referred to indications that the religion that the Ten Tribes will hold BEFORE their return and while they are still in ERROR will be Christianity. This however was a side point and one that was not strongly reinforced but rather hinted at: At least that is what it seemed to the degree that we have researched it.
There are however "Ephraimite" and other groups and individuals who would wish to classify all Christians who believe along their own lines to be classified as Israelites on that point alone.
This is understandable but it is not correct.
To our way of thinking Physical Ancestry is what needs to be emphasized.
It may be that other
aspects of the question exist but this is not what we are concerned with,
God bless you
Yair

4. Norman Willis: Lost TTs in All Peoples and Brit-Am Reply
Dear Yair,
I understand that you focus on physical ancestry, especially as it comes through northwestern Europe, and very especially through the Anglos/UK. And I understand the history behind that. Yet there are verses which tell us that Ephraim will come from all four directions, and out of all nations and families. For example:
Isaiah 66:20
20 Then they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to [the ALMIGHTY] out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,' says [the ALMIGHTY], ' the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of [the ALMIGHTY].
Ezekiel also tells us that the house of Israel (Ephraim)Â will be gathered out of all countries.
Ezekiel 36:22-24
22 Therefore say to the house of Israel,Thus says [the ALMIGHTY God]: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.
23 And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am [the ALMIGHTY], says [ ALMIGHTY God] , when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.
This is in keeping with how Yaakov (Israel) was told that his seed would go all four directions, and merge with literally every family on earth. So, if we take this literally, every person on earth must have at least one drop of Israel's blood. And so of they are not of the Southern Kingdom of Judah, then by default who are they of?
Genesis 28:14
14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
[Also, just as a Hebrew question, is there a possible play on words between dust (ofer), and Ephraim (efraim)?]
So I understand that the house of Ephraim as a force came through northern Europe and the UK historically, but why focus only on the Anglos/UK? Because not everyone worldwide has Anglo/UK blood, and Ephraim has to come out of all nations, and all families. That is not to say the US and UK do not have special roles, it just says that the Northern Kingdom will return home from every nation (and the potential is there for every family, if they will take hold of it).
So if the redemption has to come through the Anglo/UK historically, but also has to spread to every family, and not all families will have Anglo/UK blood, then while we agree there is a physical component to the redemption, how does it spread to the rest of the families of the earth without a spiritual component?

Brit-Am Reply:
We find the Lost Ten Tribes to have moved through many nations but eventually settling in Western and Northern Europe where they gave expression to their Israelite destiny and settled other places such as North America etc.
It may be that descendants of Israelites and of Jews from Judah are to be found everywhere and they too will return. This subject could use more study by us and by others in more depth.
Any way if you look at our Biblical Proofs it is quite clear thast the EMPHASIS is on specific peoples NOT everyone, everywhere.
See:
Biblical Proof. Proof from Scripture that the Ten Tribes are in the West.
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/biblical-proof/
Now regarding the verses you quoted:
Isaiah 66:20 speaks of the brethren of those in Jerusalem returning and some of them being accepted as Cohens i.e. Priests, and as Levites (Isaiah 66:21). This could be referring to descendants of Judah or of Judah mixed with Israelties.
Ezekiel 36:22-24 speaks to the House of Israel. Usually in Scripture the term "House of Israel" is addressed specifically to the Ten Tables BUT in the Book of Ezekiel this not the case. Ezekiel often uses the term "House of Israel" for either Judah alone or the Ten Tribes alone or both together. It all depends on the context.
Genesis 28:14
Speaks of Israel spreading to the west and east, north and south. This could apply to the Ten Tribes who colonized Western Europe, and North America, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa. The Jews of Judah were also scattered to many areas.
The name Efraim has (according the letters used) no etymological connection to the Hebrew word for "dust" (ofer) though it could have with the word for "ash" (efer).

We sent out an Appeal not that long ago. In principle we try to space them out. Sometimes we succeed and at other times we do not.
At all events Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is active. We do research, acquire and spread information, and have results. This is a beginning.
We emphasize Physical Ancestry in our researches. We have found proof of it from the Bible, Rabbinical Sources, and from secular ones.
Some of our findings and understanding their significance are unique to us.
We have what to contribute to this subject.
At all events we are in need of funds.
God bless you

7. Order of Return to the Land by the Tribes According to Rabbinical Law and Understanding
Outlines of an article to be filled in with more details at a later date.
The Promised Land stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates River.
There are levels of Holiness concerning the Holy Land.
See:
"The Land of Israel" by Yehonatan Davidiy
[ps. The author, son of Yair, is now a fairly well-known practising Rabbi.]
A parallel is to be found in the case of the Tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half-Manasseh who had to accompany the other tribes before settling fully in their own territories east of the Jordan (Numbers 32:6, Joshua 1:12-15).
So too, when the 12 tribes return it should optimally most likely be according to the following sequence:
Judah will take most of the Land now occupied by the present State of Israel in international terms. Judah should probably expand northward into southern Lebanon up to Tyre and the Litanni River.
Sinai may be shared by Judah and some of the other tribes.
Jerusalem will be the capital and shared by all the Tribes.
Samaria will be shared by Judah and Joseph.
This is already taking place to some extent. Sinai needs to be liberated again and southern Lebanon re-captured. Samaria is now partially occupied by Judah.
Ephraim needs to take Syria and Lebanon.
The other tribes need to take what remains, e.g. Jordan, part of Iraq, the Persian Gulf, southeast Turkey, etc.
Cyprus will go to Dan.
When all that is done expansion beyond the borders is possible.
More details at a later date.
