Tracing the Lost 10 Tribes and preparing for their Return (Rabbi Avraham Feld)
Source: KolHaTor.org.il
Author: Rabbi Avraham Feld
Scholars who have traced the migrating tracks of the Lost Tribes of Israel, claim that they eventually and essentially ended up in Western Europe and from there spread to England , the USA , Canada , South Africa and Australia . Others maintain that they also spread to the East where they integrated with the nations.
Torah and Tanach prophecies are clear and emphatic that the Ten Tribes will "Return" to their ancient Heritage. Jewish Sages throughout the ages have interpreted these Prophecies to indicate a Return, both to Torah observance and to the physical Land of Israel - the Land of their Fathers. This process is referred to as "the Redemption". From authentic Torah sources we learn that they will still be involved in false belief at the time of their Return and in need of proper Torah restoration before the final Redemption
In my work to prepare the Tribe of Judah (the present day Jewish people who, by the way, within themselves hold remnants of all the Tribes) for this Great Return, I stress my belief, according to a host of Biblical and Talmudic statements, that these Lost Tribes will be coming home with all kinds of religious "baggage" . It is not the place of Judah (the Jews) and their Rabbinic leaders, to judge them in this, but to teach them and to reach out to them. The prophet Micah said, that the Tribes will put away their false beliefs and idols after they are back in the Land. I feel it crucial for Judah to understand, and I wish to point out that, the religion of most of the returning Tribes is not the Christianity that said, "Kiss the sword, or kiss the cross", but a religion in process of returning to Halachic Torah Judaism.

I agree with much of what Feld says, minus his notion that Ephraim is in the "process of returning to Halachic Torah Judaism." I believe some of Ephraim will and are returning to Halachic Judaism, but most of them are repulsed by much of "Oral Torah" enactments once they learn what those "ACTUAL" enactments are. Some fall victim to the emotional high of being able to return home (which is truly an exciting thing), but some of the gate keepers to the Land have an agenda of propping up their own power and religious system and are not necessarily concerned about the will of the Most High. Even the Karaites see Ephraim's belief in the Jewish Messiah (Yeshua/Jesus) as "pagan baggage", so even if they were the gate keepers, there would be problems to 10-Israel's entry.
Remember Ephraim, you will return by the "strong arm" of יהוה. Even Luke 15 indicates that "the Father" goes out to the Prodigal Son while "he is yet afar off" before bringing him home. Judah, the more faithful brother, doesn't appear to help the Father in this restoration process. So Ephraim, you do NOT have to spiritually prostitute yourself or compromise your belief system in order to gain favor with any particular sect inside of Judah. Also, remember Judah is very diverse and only appear as a unified front when opposing our Messianic belief in Yeshua.
Shalom in Messiah,
Hanok

My comment: Listen carefully to what King Abdullah actually says. My follow up question would be: So if Israel gives Jerusalem to the PA, and if Israel allows millions of hostile Palestinian refugees to move into Israel proper, then Iran will cease to need or want to have Nuclear weapons? Hmmmmm...

We are digging! We went into the drainpipe that contained the odd crystal today. Yuval excavated on both sides of the pipe and had the workers start digging at western end of the opening to maximize effectiveness. However, we have only dug a few inches into the soil. Investigative techniques are very different from archeological methods because I would have gone to the depth of two feet and excavated the entire length of the shaft, about twenty three feet. That way it would have been conclusive. By doing it this way we have multiple locations in the shaft that could easily contain the items we are looking for and we would never see them. The tiny tunnel is only two feet wide and about two feet tall; it would not take a lot of work to clear out the two thousand four hundred years of dirt that has accumulated so why not do it?
The older gentleman that has authority over the site is limiting us and reducing the number of workers that we will have or…putting the workers on another dig and “maybe” allowing us to use metal detectors?
We must not give up. If anyone knows of a good metal detector that penetrates to the depth of 10 feet for large amounts of metal and…can be rented or purchased here in Israel, let me know ASAP! We still have access and Yuval is pulling hard for us but his boss is putting pressure on him and we just got started??? Pray everyone, that they will let us do a complete evaluation of at least the tunnel. The next best thing will be for us to do bore holes and drop a metal detector into the openings to test each of the sites. That would be much less invasive and still produce an acceptable test.
We are here, we are digging and we are praying that the powers that be not stop Yuval from seeing this through. He knows that a complete evaluation must be done to prove or disprove the validity of the Copper Scroll. Yuval has been fantastic and very supportive, only God could have had such a man in place for this time and we thank God for his provision. We have had many obstacles along the way and every single impediment has been overcome by God’s intervention, so be assured that this small bump in the road will also be set to the side.
Pray a short confident prayer, being comforted with the knowledge that God’s will is going to be done.

Well we have begun! Can you believe it, a fireman and his friends have been allowed to dig for the most important items in the world? Well, we are not digging but we are right there with them as they dig.
We “are” digging at the cave. For some reason Yuval stopped at about 3 to 4 feet deep as the large stones began to curl back under in the direction of the cave?? I will discuss more with him tomorrow after we begin the dig in the tunnel that held the bizarre crystal.

“The Wheat and the Tares” by Bill Cloud (Audio)
The following two audios were recorded while Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries was on God's Learning Channel. They are both a bit lengthy, but certainly worth your time. Bill hits on many things, but primarily focuses on the good seed and the bad seed, or the Wheat and the Tares Parable of Matthew 13.

Palestinians? What about Joseph’s (10-Israel) “Right of Return”?
In our present time, the prophetic multitudinous "REALITY" of the descendants of the House of Joseph (10-Israel) is important because it means Jacob's House is much larger than what the world commonly knows and refers to as "the Jews". This reality (see the article Two-House Reality for details) has profound ramifications most importantly with the current Middle East Peace process... where Palestinian Muslims claim a "right of return" to "their" lands that "those" Jews took from them. In FACT, there is a much larger population descending from the House of Joseph who have a much older and prophetic "right of return" and the Prophets indicate they WILL indeed return (it doesn't matter if Rabbi Akiva didn't think so). The international community and their leaders predominantly have no clue that the Jews largely only represent the House of Judah (although some of 10-Israel has rejoined and mixed with Judah over the ages), and most of them would probably rather not know or understand this REALITY (see the article 10 Proofs that the Jews are from Judah). For them, the situation is already complicated enough and they would rather not have yet another curve ball thrown into the mix.
In fact, the return of Joseph to the Land of Israel will not happen by the mere efforts of men, but instead through the strong arm of יהוה... where He alone will be esteemed and glorified (See Ezekiel 37 and Zechariah 10 for confirmation). By then, Joseph will have been punished for his idolatry, but eternally grateful to be home with the Father and with his brother Judah. Currently, Joseph still looks, walks, and talks like a proverbial Egyptian, so Judah does not recognize him... but as Joseph returns to Torah and unites all his colors (which will "probably" take the Prophet Elijah to do), Judah and the proverbial Pharaoh will notice and recognize Joseph... and there will eventually be yet another "let my people go" issued (again, it will "probably" take the Prophet Elijah to do it, or Messiah Himself), but regardless... the House of Joseph's "RIGHT OF RETURN" will be manifested in the appropriate time in accord with the will of יהוה.
Until then, my purpose is to help Joseph "come to himself" (Luke 15:17) and to become one of the wise virgins who is watching and ready for Messiah (Matthew 25:1-13).
Shalom Aleichem,
Hanok

Last Saturday night one of our regular new moon observers, CB Newman, was attacked by Arabs and just barely escaped with his life. He was on his way home from watching a video with me and some friends in North Talpiot when he took a wrong turn into an Arab area. The Arabs probably identified him as a Jew when they saw his blue and white tzitzit and they attacked him, stabbing him in the neck. Ironically the location of the attack is known as the "Peace Forest". I was interviewed by police yesterday who are investigating the attack as an "attempted pre-meditated murder" and they told me that Newman's survival was nothing short of a miracle. Here is the description of Newman's miraculous escape from the clutches of death in his own words:
"I am completely fine, I got out of the hospital yesterday. I was attacked by three Arabs with a knife in the outskirts of Ha-Shalom
Forest. They slit my throat, I tried to get away, but I couldn't. They held me down to beat me and cut me with the knife. You should know, after failing to escape I cried to Yehovah in desperation, immediately, that actual second, I was out of their grip and ran into the woods, they weren't able catch me, halleluyah. I finally reached a gas station where an ambulance was called. I was taken to a hospital and put under anesthesia. They stitched up my neck and head. I was told a few centimeters deeper and my arteries would have been cut, but I'm fine. There was no major damage, I just have scarring. I'm going back to the hospital on Sunday to have the stitches taken out. I'm really alright though, thank God."The incident was also reported by the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz:
