1. Hosea 7 Upgraded
http://britam.org/hosea7.html
Summary:
Corruption amongst the leadership and connivance at violence and robbery bring about the downfall of Ephraim. The leaders are betrayed by their followers who lay in wait for an opportune moment to betray them. Ephraim will assimilate amongst the Gentiles. He will loose his strength and be betrayed by the foreign allies he trusted in. Despite being visited by calamities Ephraim does not repent. The exile of the Ten Tribes and an outline of why they are to be identified as part of the Cimmerian, Scythian, and Gothic coalition is given.

2. Charlotte Mecklenburg: "an actual, natural people"
Subject: Re: "Brit-Am Now"-1061

Dear Yair,
At one time I thought what difference does it make if we know whether a person is a descendant of one of the 12 sons of Jacob. But his year I noticed it more when I read that Ezekiel passage even though I had noticed when I did a concordance search and found that as far as inheritance is concerned the land was always designated with Jacob. Israel would come to the land but with Jacob the one always mentioned in juxtaposition with promised inheritance and land. This shows that the natural man with his genes counts as something in God's sight. In Ezekiel 11:14 the Lord says "Mortal, [I will save] your brothers, your brothers, the men of your kindred, all of that very House of Israel ?" He was speaking of an actual, natural people here that he would save so that he would have a whole House of Israel.

God doesn't like borders removed and he doesn't like others inheriting something he promised to a particular person or people. He made laws so that inheritance would stay in families. He keeps his promises and he also promises to allow others to join those who inherit the land but he must see that what he promised to the original people goes to them. Now Ezekiel shows new borders but it is all equally divided. Probably the new borders denote what God's original plan was to begin with.

People in the world who mock God are always presenting cases against him. They question his word continuously, so I believe God will be legally right, right down to the jot and title of his word. In time maybe through the DNA studies or some unknown means at the time he will prove that those people who are physically descended from the 12 sons have been brought back. It doesn't matter that lines are all mixed there is only one father to each person and through the father's YDNA there is only one place it has come from and therefore regardless of who has married what, the bloodline from the father will remain the same and come directly from someone who is either a father of one of the sons or some other ethnicity. But it is complicated too, because only a remnant will come who can pass under the rod. There will be no proud, arrogant pushy sheep in the bunch.

God has a place in his Kingdom for every person who loves him. No one will be left out even if it means only occasional visits to Israel, all will be happy with their position that he assigns them. I have met wonderful people who are not concerned or ever think of Israel. They are neither opposed or for. They just don't see themselves fitting in anyway to what is going on in Israel. It is hard for me to imagine but God has made all kinds of people and situations.

Shalom Yair

re: Brit-Am Now - 1062.
What Michelle has written makes sense at least to me.

Another possible consideration here is that within the account of the Exodus, many other people left with the Israelites - Ex 12:38. They were not Jewish or of the tribes, but they recognized a God of Worth and desired to belong to Him. Having made this choice, they became His as did Rahab and Ruth.

Is this also not part of the message? Gentiles can do likewise if they choose to. But it is a heart thing first and foremost, even for the children of Jacob.

Malcolm Osborne

4. More on the Kol HaTor Mishap
(a) The Mishap Rectified
It transpires that the person responsible for the Kol HaTor ruckus is a South African living in Israel who calls himself OvadYah Avrahami.
We thought as much but were not certain until OvadYah Avrahami confirmed it in a letter to us.
Avrahami promotes himself on the web as a Christian who converted to Judaism while retaining Christian beliefs.
It is a free country and people can do what they like according tot he laws of the land.
They cannot however use Brit-Am materials or set up projects to re-write Brit-Am publications etc without Brit-Am knowing about it and agreeing to it .
As a result of our protest the offending passages concerning Brit-Am material have been removed from Avrahami's site.
The Brit-Am name had been taken in vain, giving a false impression and this has now been rectified.

(b) Rabbi Feld
Rabbi Avraham Feld in a telephone conversation some time ago had DENIED knowledge of the "Kol HaTor" Project that we had heard of through a third party and before we had seen the web-site.
Avrahami says that we should check with Rabbi Feld again but so far have not succeeded in doing so.
If Avrahami is correct he should produce a note from Rabbi Feld or have Rabbi Feld call us again since we can only go on what has been related to us.
Rabbi Feld did speak of contacts with Avrahami and with several others so someone somewhere may have inadvertently given or received a false impression.
At all events Rabbi Feld is no longer associated with Brit-Am.
The written contribution of Rabbi Feld to Brit-Am consisted of his own articles and Approbations he gave to our works and no more than that even though that in itself is of great significance and value.
Rabbi Feld when he was associated with us also spoke on behalf of Brit-Am and represented us in public forums.
That too was a great and valuable matter and we appreciate it.
Rabbi Feld (as of last hearing) continues to believe in Brit-Am.
We understand that upon request by us Rabbi Feld is still willing to participate in Brit-Am events as he did in our recent Radio Interview with Tamar Yonah on Arutz-7.
See:
http://www.britam.org/Broadcasts.html
No, (2) from the top.

Rabbi Feld is active full-time in the Maccabee Institute which he helped found.
http://www.maccabeeinstitute.org/who.html
He does important work through the Maccabee Institute helping people who need help and has a worldwide reputation in his own field.
The last we heard there is no ideological or doctrinal difference between Brit-Am and Rabbi Feld.
The formal association of Rabbi Feld with Brit-Am was terminated at our request due to (1) personality differences;
(2) the association of Rabbi Feld with ideas, groups, and personalities Brit-Am did not want its name linked with;
and (3) other activities of Rabbi Feld that we thought could give the wrong impression concerning Brit-Am.

(c) Use of Brit-Am Materials Welcomed but after Consultation with us.
Just for the record Brit-Am works are registered in the US Copyright office.
We allow (and even welcome) other sites to quote from us and in some cases to post up whole articles of ours but this should be done after consulting with us.
The Brit-Am name should not be quoted as agreeing to something we disagree with.

(d) The Hebrew book "Kol HaTor"
The Kol HaTor web site was named after a short book
-an English Translation of which may be perused on the web
http://www.yedidnefesh.com/kaballah/kol-hator/3.htm
We are not certain if it is a genuine work or a compilation of sayings by the Gaon of Vilna with possible additions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kol_HaTor
At all events the work is consistent with teachings by the Gaon of Vilna.
It also contains references to the Messiah ben Yoseph one of whose tasks is to lead the Ten Tribes in the Latter Days. Some of the references in question are relevant to Brit-Am beliefs that the Lost Ten Tribes (especially Joseph) are now to be found in Britain and North America.
We speak of this at length in our book "Joseph. The Israelite Destiny of America"
http://britam.org/bkjoseph.html

Misleading claims were made by OvadYah Avrahami or by someone else using his name concerning the book "Kol HaTor" which
appear to have since been dropped.
Other Misleading claims were then made in which the Brit-Am name was used. This too has now been dropped and we hope that is the end of the matter.

5. Apparent Brit-Am "uncertainty" a Source of Strength!
================================================
OvadYah Avrahami wrote us:

<<You should also surely by now be aware, from the feed back of your readers,
that they want ACTION - which you are NOT prepared to advise them on or
assist them in.
================================================
Reply:
Brit-Am advises our subscribers to identify as much as possible with Judah and with the REST OF ISRAEL especially their own particular community.
We advise them to draw close to the Almighty, learn the Bible, learn Brit-Am teachings on the Bible and other matters, and live good, productive lives, while helping Brit-Am if they can.
If they take this path they will find a way to bring their instinctive Israelite instinct to expression.
This is not an instant magical answer but it is an answer.
It is action.
We admit there often will be noticed a certain degree of uncertainty on our part concerning some of the details of the eventual return and re-unification of Judah and Joseph.
This too can become a source of strength since it requires the individual to exert themselves to finding an answer of their own and not just to rely on us.
