Sha'ul Suhr sent the following questions to the Hebrew Nations Facebook Page
====
(a) How can "non jews" settle in and around Israel Yair ?
(b) And what if Judaism in its present form doesnt appeal to them ?
(c) Also, will any of this matter after the Pole Shift ?

We posted repliesas given below with a few additions:
(a) Q. How can "non jews" settle in and around Israel Yair ?
A. Non-Jews who believe they are descended from Israelites should say so. They should also refer to us as references for their saying so. Why be ashamed of us? We are respectable and quite capable of holding our own. We bring Biblical, Rabbinical, and Secular Proofs. All of us this taken as a whole is convincing and cannot really be refuted. That is a beginning. They should also mention the possibility of setting up colonies of Ephraimites around the periphery of Israel as a serious proposition. All of this information and opinion should be directed at both Judah and Joseph BUT the emphasis at present should be on Joseph. One of the major problems with all the talk about Ephraimites settling in the Land etc is that it diverts attention from the need to telll Joseph who he is. Let us get our priorities straight and do what we can with what we have.

(b) Q. And what if Judaism in its present form doesn't appeal to them ?
A. It may be they have been listening to the wrong sources as to what Judaism is? Even so, that is one of the points for setting the colonies up, as we said. The colonies would be autonomous and loosely attached to Israel, or wholly independent, or under a mixed administration of their own representatives along with the involvement of one or other of the Israelite Nations and of the State of Israel if it would agree (and it might not do so). At all events the way it is envisaged is that they do their own thing, live their own lives. At the same time they would be journeying to and fro to Israel with Israelis coming to them. There would be an interaction.
This is one advantage of the colony concept, no-one need step on the toes of the other but mutual need and interest would generate its own dynamism.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations has always emphasized that we are not out to Judaize people. The religious problems will be resolved at a later date.
See:
The Order of Return of Joseph
Ezekiel (11:18) hints that first the exiles will return to the Land of Israel and after that they shall put away their idols and keep the Law (11:20). Ezekiel says that Judah has an obligation to help the Lost Ten Tribes return. The complete return of Judah is dependent upon the return of "Samaria" (16:53, 55, 61) meaning the Ten Tribes especially Manasseh. Manasseh today is mainly the USA. God will renew His covenant with Judah and with Israel (16:62).
Rabbinical traditions said that elements from Gilead of Manasseh would be the first to return.

Highlights of Ezekiel
... the two entities "Judah" and "Joseph" will remain separate from each other until the end times. Commentators saw the niceties of the Hebrew original in the above passage as indicating that: (a) The re-unification must take place initially through our own initiative. Ezekiel is told to take the sticks and write upon them and join them together in his own hands but then God makes them one in HIS hand (37:19). The Temple will be rebuilt (chapter 43). The land of Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates and beyond will be divided up amongst the Twelve Tribes of Israel (chapter 47). The non-Israelite stranger who dwells among you will receive an inheritance together with the Tribe he dwelt amongst (47:22).Â
ps. Isaiah 11:13-14 speaks of Judah and Ephraim reconciling and working together. Zehcariah 10:6-10 (and other sources) also implies something along the same lines. We understand this initial rapport to take place before the final reunification of Ezekiel ch.37.

(c) Q. Also, will any of this matter after the Pole Shift ?
A. I do not know if there will be a Pole Shift. Nevertheless, I suppose there could be or some other drastic change may occur. The Bible indicates very strongly that great calamities will happen. We do not know how things will turn out BUT having this knowledge and this aim could make all the difference.
We could speculate endlessly as to What If?
What if certain areas of the globe where descendants of Israel now live suddenly become uninhabitable? Modern Prophets of Environmental Disaster say this may shortly happen. What if at the same time as this happens it suddenly becomes clear to people in the State of Israel that colonies of Ephraimites all around them could be extremely valuable? Things like this happen in history.
Before the State of Israel came into being Gentiles who supported the establishment of a Jewish State in the Holy Land were known as Restorationists. They were parallel to, but independent of, the Jewish Zionist. Restorationism was a movement in the West, especially in Britain but also in the USA and France and elsewhere that, like the Zionists, believed that the Jewish People should return to their land. At the time it seemed an improbable proposition but they kept at it. Public opinion became accustomed to the notion. When the opportunity came they were ready to take advantage of it. They helped create the State of Israel.

 I am probably a Jew, but if not, I'm definitely descended from Israel. But Israeli government doesn't want me or my family yet in the land. When can be come back? Soon, I hope!
I post links to Brit-Am as often as the opportunity presents itself. This (returning to the land) will proceed as the Holy One directs and opens the doors. May Messiah come, even in our days!!
