The purpose of JewsAndJoes.com in a nutshell? It is to convince the skeptics and the ignorant that the Creator of the Universe, 
is not a Liar... and modern realities, however ignored, confirm this.
Note: the author of JewsAndJoes.com has no mission to convince Jews that Yeshua is or will be Messiah. Instead, the primary intended audience of this website are Prodigal Joes, not Jews. Please read-on.
Purpose in Detail
There is a reality in the world today which promised unconditionally in the Hebrew Scriptures more than 3800 years ago. That promise, a promise of multitudes, was first given to Abraham, then to Isaak, then to Israel, then to Joseph, and finally passed to Ephraim (verify it here).
Genesis 48:19 promised that Ephraim would become the fullness of the nations (melo ha-goyim) ...and we believe it is NOT a question of IF that promise was fulfilled, but rather a question of HOW and WHO.
There are many insightful books on the so-called "Lost Ten Tribes of Israel" which do not hold to a minimalist point-of-view. Yet even the maximalist-leaning books published up to this point have largely been unable to connect the dots where modern genetic research is concerned... and for good reason. The science, namely Population Genetics, is relatively young and the pool of genetic data is just starting to get deep and wide enough to be useful on a global scale, but unfortunately the keepers of the genetic data are largely entangled in various forms of religious Evolutionism (generally cloaked in Atheism), and thus interpret the data from an evolutionary paradigm, using unreliable (if not fraudulent) instruments such as radiometric dating.
Even so, the Y-Chromosome DNA of Abraham, passed only to his direct male descendants, will likely be identified by more researchers soon (See Israelite Haplogroup Hypotheses). Many from "the Educational Establishment" already believe they've identified the genetic markers of the priestly (Cohanim) clan of the tribe of Levi (Cohen Modal Haplotype). Geneticists (using haplogroups specifically) already tell us much about how mankind migrated in the last few thousand years.
JewsandJoes.com simply wants to help connect some of those migrating peoples with those found in Scripture, particularly the descendants of Jacob (Israel), and more specifically: the peoples of Ephraim.
Figuratively, the exiled Northern Kingdom of Israel (idiomatically “Ephraim” or "Joseph") is the Prodigal Son mentioned in Luke 15:11-32. He is the younger brother of Jew-dah (the Southern Israelite Kingdom of Judah). Their Y-Chromosome DNA should be nearly identical, but because of 3,800 years of mutation, their modern direct male descendants certainly fall into different genetic haplogroups. The investigations herein will suggest many possibilities and probabilities in light of scientific research and historical texts... but ultimately, we will take the Most High at His Word. We will look to the clues hidden in plain view within Hebrew Scriptures.
See The Prodigal Son Parable, a Prophetic Macro-Timeline of Ephraim in Last Days for a more detailed study.
Ultimately, our purpose is to help the Prodigal Son find or "come to himself". We also want to help Jew-dah see that Joe-seph (the prodigal) has largely been dead (figuratively) in far off lands. But now... NOW Joseph is coming back to life. Now he is starting to become "a people" again, a people set-apart unto , and eventually the House of Judah will accept and rejoice in the restoration of all Joseph, no matter the various shades of collor. Indeed, eventually Joseph will no longer envy Judah, and Judah will stop troubling his younger brother Joseph (Isaiah 11:13).
Joseph's multitudes of peoples are proof is no Liar. But they, the Joes, are a people inheriting lies (Jeremiah 16:19) from the father of lies, otherwise known as ha-Satan, the-Adversary. Part of our effort is to help Joseph stop believing the lies and return to , their Father Who longs for His sons to be united and home in the Land of Israel, living again within His house rules, the Torah.
Shalom Aleichem,
Hanok ben-Isaak
DISCLAIMER: Although commentary on this site may point out reasons for "DIVINE" judgment and punishment on various nations for their acts of wickedness (e.g., the murder of the unborn, sexual perversion, genetic perversion, etc), individuals are not encouraged, supported, or condoned in perpetuating any hostile acts on those nationalities or citizens of those nationalities. This is an educational and prophetic watchman-type website, not an incitement website. The only call to action issued is the call to repentance and restoration of righteousness to the House of Joseph and the House of Judah. The Creator of the Universe will bring judgment according to His own timing and in ways which need no human intervention (e.g., earth-changes, etc).
