1. Answer to Query Concerning the Return of the Ten Tribes. Not in Dribs and Dabbles.
Re the YouTube clip
Seven More Reasons
Additional Reasons why non-Jewish descendants of the Ten Tribes should not come to live in Israel at present.
See: Seven More Reasons
Questions from 7Barukh
(a) can think if various times when only certain parts of the Ten Tribes united with Judah. Also i think of Judah separately, where all thru history parts of them would return to the Land in small percentages at first as well. So overall, in Biblical history & modern...it's a common pattern (the small, verses the whole...).
(b) Yair, video was very blurred....just an FYI. Also, though i understood (& with some level of appreciation) much of what you shared...i wondered if you could clarify something for me? You made a point to say that small pockets or small groups of returning Joseph-Ephraim wasn't an option Biblically. Do you have something to explain that, for us to watch/re-watch or read/re-read? Doesn't the examples in the Tenakh show times when only part of the Northern Tribes united w/the Land? ?

It is true that on several occasions small sections of the Ten Tribes did return and join themselves to Judah, as you say. Henceforth these descendants of the Ten Tribes were counted as part of Judah. Nachmanides discusses this.
Prophecy however speaks mainly of the return of the Ten Tribes as a whole.
See:
The Return of the Ten Tribes
Both of us perhaps need to look at the sources more closely. From the examples in the article above however it seems that when they return they will do as a whole.
Concerning Judah it seems that for some reason they had to return in bits and pieces, as they have began to do. The impression is that the Ten Tribes will return as one whole. If an individual descendant of the Ten Tribes wishes to return and attach themself to Judah that is their business. It is not a solution for the Ten Tribes as a whole.
As for being blurred it could be the fault of YouTube. It happens (usually at peak hours) that the YouTube transmission is not what it should be but when one returns it is better.

2. New Article and YouTube Clip. Obama the Back-Stabber

(a) New Article. Obama the Thug! Obama as an Edomite Back-Stabber
Both PM Natanyahu and the entourage of Obama are anxious to present the visit as a friendly one. Obama represents the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the world. He is experts who are probably the best paid and the most qualified of any available. This is how it should be. Obama himself is an accomplished and well polished performer. He got to be President because of it. Obama made speeches and uttered platitudes that were intended to placate and appease the Israeli public. He said things that are true about the USA and Israel having a common story and mutual interests. He said that the future of Israel is bound to that of the USA. These were all true. Obama may not have intended it BUT his advisors who wrote his speeches knew what they were doping. They include enough of the truth and of what both Americans and Jews WANT to believe to make the rest of what he was saying acceptable!....
Obama in effect was using his sugar coated approach to make poison slurs acceptable and accepted.
...The Israelis are in the Land because God gave it tot hem. It is THEIR eternal inheritance.
.... In our opinion the Israelis SHOULD EXPEL THE PALESTINIANS, give them compensation, fly them to other countires and help them resettle elsewhere.
In the future this is what will happen. The Jews will be helped by the Ten Tribes.
This is all for the future. At the moment we have to survive. We need to get past the present moment. We need to avoid the poisonous friendship of Obama.
Obama is like the Godfather: Bad and with bad intentions but on occasion able to cloak what he is in a noble exterior. He does this in order to deceive and cause harm.

(b) New YouTube Clip. Backstabber Obama
Duration ca. 26 minutes. To continue reading the text please scroll down.
Obama as a friend is more dangerous than as an enemy. As a sign of friendship Obama wants the Israelis to cut their own throat and save him from having to do it for them!

Re: Brit-Am Now no. 2033 Ten Tribes Studies.
Hello Yair,
As I mentioned before and maybe you haven't received that email yet,but by mistake I said Ziphorrah instead of the Ethiopian woman. I still claim she is NOT black as I explained about Moses knowing the law wouldn't dare take that chance by marrying a non- Israelite. There were plenty of Israelites in different lands like Egypt, Ethiopia and the like even then.Being progressive and adventurous as Israelites are,as in the early pioneers and ("voortrekkers")front pullers of the USA and South Africa respectively,they ventured into unknown territory even way back then. The Great Dispersion is another example of this kind of "spirit", after the fall of the Assyrian Empire where they were held captive, they went into Europe and North Western Europe and even until the Isles of the Seas/West(the UK) as the Bible suggests.

Brit-Am Reply:
We concentrate on the LITERAL meaning of Scripture.
Ruth the Moabites was from Moab. Zipporah was the daughter of Jethro who was a non-Israelite Midianite who later attached himself to Israel. We also think Zipporah was black or at least relatively dark and that was one of the reasons Miriam and Aharon spoke against Moses. This last opinion might be controversial but it fits the description of Scripture.
