(a) New Article. What Should Joseph Do?
The Duties of the Ten Tribes in Our Times
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/duties.html
What should Joseph and the Ten Tribes do now? What are the duties of Ephraim? "Ephraim" in this case may be understood as referring to the Lost Ten Tribes in general. The blessings are not only gifts but also goals. What then according to the Bible are the duties of Ephraim (the Lost Ten Tribes) today? The Ten Lost Tribes are Israelites. The Bible is their book. Nevertheless since the Tribes got lost and on the whole are no longer conscious of their ancestry, their precise obligations under the Law are not clear. Nevertheless the Prophets spoke of them and to them. Here and there were messages directed in general to all Israel but from the context especially to them.
 Here is a List of Exhortations from the Bible to the Ten Tribes. It is followed by brief explanations and relevant verses.

2. Jay: Geneva Bible Translation of Genesis 24:60 Corresponds to KJ
Re Billions on the Way?
It Really May Be Thousands of Millions! A Problem of Translation Solved! (or at least along the line)
Shalom Yair:
For Gen 24:60, the 1560 Geneva Bible writes "...thousand thousands..."
"And thei blessed Rebekah, and said vnto her, Thou art our sister, growe
into thousand thousands, and thy sede possesse the gate of his
ennemies."

3. Mark Williiams: Question on Josephus and the Ten Tribes.
Subject: Something I've Only Just Noticed
Shalom and g'day!
In his Antiquities Josephus wrote
"Wherefore there are but two tribes [those known as Jews] in Asia and
Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond the
Euphrates till now, and are an immense multitude, and not to be
estimated by numbers" (Antiquities 11.133).
This was written some time around 93 CE. A full fifty years after the
Romans conquered Great Britain. Does this mean there were no Israelites
on this island at that time or just that he was unaware of them?
====
Brit-Am Reply:
Josephus may have been referring to elements from the Lost Ten Tribes amongst the Parthians, Scythians, and Goths who then in the region east of the Euphrates as well as further to the north.
It would seem that Josephus were not aware of the Ten Tribes in great measure being already in the west.

(a) Fascinating
This review is from: The Tribes: The Israelite Origins of Western People (Paperback)

For personal reasons I began a quest on the ancient Celts and after several years, I was lead to Yair Davidy. What Mr. Davidy writes about is fascinating. His message provides information on missing history...history that ultimately affects us all, one way or another. His voice truly is a lone voice in the wilderness. Thank you, Yair Davidy!!!! I am not Jewish..but Shalom to you too!!

(b) Rabbis lend validity to what Yair is saying

I have read many of Yair Davidiy's books, and am familiar with his info. I have also met Yair in Yerushalayim while in Yeshiva. I can't personally say whether his information is 100% accurate, as I have not done extensive research on the information to come to an objective conclusion. I grew up Catholic [and later on, became a devout Christian], and for many years now, I live as a Ger Tsedek/convert to Orthodox Judaism. I say these bits of information because the above review seems to bring out extensive personal bias against Jews, the state of Israel, etc, and bias for NT writings, based on misunderstandings, which espouse a view of Israel contrary to the reviewer's comments.
For any thinking person, who is sincerely interested in knowing what is true and what is not true, Davidiy's works present a challenge and a dilemma to be faced. I am not confirming his info as true, but simply as information to consider. Then, research the info yourself, and arrive at your own conclusions. What I do know from my own personal research [culled from my learning of Torah, not in conjunction with Yair's books] is that the Rabbis for the past 2000 years do make statements that lend validity to what Yair is saying, even if not in all the details.
