“The Prophesied Land for the Northern Tribes of Israel in Samaria and Northern Israel” – Photos by Israel National News
The News report was short, cryptic, and to the point but it quickly raised a firestorm throughout Israel. It’s implications for the imminent return of the Lost Tribes of Israel were profound, and opened up the floodgates of dissent and unification at the same time for both Lost Tribers and Jews who find the concept of sharing their Homeland with ‘Christian evangelicals’ highly uncomfortable. These re-awakening Ten Tribers for the most part have been raised as Protestant Christians. Hundreds of thousands are gaining a new appreciation and a renewed love for the Land of Israel, as they bring with them the dreams of someday, living within that land. As Yair Altman of YNet News in Israel wrote on April 4, 2011, titled, “The New Christian Settlers”, we read:
YNet News – “Will US Christians settle in Samaria? About 1,000 Americans have signed a document requesting to convert to Judaism, move to Israel, and settle in Samaria. The group members are seeking to serve in the IDF and later establish communities based on the Kibbutz movement model.

The document was presented to Yisrael Beiteinu Knesset Member Lia Shemtov, who met with the group's representative last week and promised to offer her help in facilitating the initiative. The Christian group's representative, Baruch Avrahamovich, said he was hopeful that MK Shemtov would be able to elicit the government's support for the initiative.
Ironically, the venture received a boost through the help of priests at some 70 different churches in the US, who last summer urged their followers to boycott Avrahamovich and his new community. The broad media coverage attracted many new participants to the initiative.
The Christian group is seeking to purchase land in Samaria, and Avrahamovich says that in Missouri alone a community of some 400 people is already keeping the Shabbat. "They manage collective kibbutz life and aspire to create such community in Samaria, or in any area that would like to absorb people who truly love Israel and the Jewish religion," he said.
MK Shemtov expressed her support for the idea, noting that "bringing hundreds of educated, established people to Israel will help in developing Samaria and reinforcing it as an inseparable part of the State of Israel. We are dealing with people who wish to undergo Orthodox conversion, contribute to the economy, and even to serve in the IDF."
Officials at the Samaria Regional council confirmed that they were approached about the initiative, but noted that according to the Law of Return, only Jews can move to Israel and receive citizenship. "If families from this group undergo proper conversion and move to Israel in line with the Law of Return, we'll of course be happy to welcome them in Samaria," one official said.”
By April 14, 2011, the picture began to enlarge, as posted in Israel Today, in the article titled, “Christian Zionist Settlers in Samaria”
Baruch Avrahamovich eying one of the New Jewish Settlements in Shomron
Israel Today – “The group is lead by Portland radio personality Baruch Avrahamovich, who has a large audience among the local Russian immigrant community. Avrahamovich was raised as a Christian, but said that years ago he discovered that his roots are actually Jewish. Many Jews from Russia and other European countries were either forced to or scared into converting to Christianity over the centuries. Avrahamovich has since worked tirelessly to help other Russian-speaking Christians to rediscover hidden Jewish roots. "Ultimately, I understood that Judaism is the true religion and that my life's mission is to have Christians immigrate to Israel and convert,"
Avrahamovich was quoted as saying by The Jerusalem Post... If their plans come to fruition, the group plans to undergo an Orthodox conversion to Judaism, join the Israeli army, and then purchase and settle a large piece of land in Samaria (the northern "West Bank")."

Baruch Abramowitz, a Russian converted Jew, is also an associate with Kol Ha Tor, with which BibleSearchers and Destination Yisra’el is also associated. The Kol Ha Tor Vision inspires and expects its associates to pledge not to proselytize Jews for conversion to the Christian faith (as also pledged) on the website of Biblesearcher.com.
Re-unification of the 2-Houses of Israel without proselytizing -
The publishers of this Web Site recognize the extensive damage done to the Jewish people over the centuries by attempts to convert them to Christianity. We do not support any of these missionary activities, either historically or currently. If you are Jewish, we do not wish to proselytize, to persuade you to accept any of our beliefs, or to influence you to abandon your historic and correct faith.
The history of Christianity is well documented for it includes large periods of apostasy that infiltrated the Early Christian Church by the Christian Orthodox Church in Rome. Here in the Basilica of Prassede, they transformed themselves from their true Hebrew Orthodox Nazarene roots to a Gnostic religion centered upon the faith of Simon Magus.
The prophecy of the “Return of the Lost 10 Tribes of the House of Israel” (Ezekiel 36) by the Prophet Ezekiel, a Jewish exile to Babylon is a prophecy that is yet to come in the future.
This prophesy assumes that the Lost Tribes of Israel are apostates who have over the centuries continued to abominate and desecrate the Holy Name of G-d, so HaShem, the G-d of Israel proclaims that He will honor His Holy Name, and redeem them, though they are unworthy. He will clean them up, give them a “New Heart” and take them from the lands of their dwelling and restore them back to the lands of their forefathers, Israel, even though their genealogies are an amalgamation of many different tribes and maybe include bloodlines of the Gentile peoples.
So today, we see this process being fulfilled in a microcosm of the greater prophetic picture of the “Return of Am Yisrael (All Israel)”, Jews and Israelites alike. Baruch Abramowitz, a West Coast radio host of Jewish ancestry, has even a unique twist for he is bringing his Jewish Russian immigrant friends who first went to America, back to their historic Jewish roots. They became assimilated into the Christian Churches in America. Now they, who now have relearned, are being redeemed back to their Hebrew-Jewish roots. They wish to make full immigration and assimilation back to Israel with their own Jewish people. This includes conversion to the Jewish faith, participating in the defense of the State of Israel, and participating in the political process of keeping Shomron and Judea as part of G-d’s Holy Land in Israel that is to be inhabited and governed by people that are descendants of the ancient Hebrews called the House of Israel.
What this includes is that these “American Christians” have pledged to become part of the Torah observing Jewish family. They will have to participate also in the conversion process of Orthodox Judaism to their Hebrew Judaic roots.
The communications of Baruch Abramowitz with Israeli Knesset members plus Orthodox rabbis in the land of Israel is causing vast undercurrents within and without Israel. Historically the Torah has already paved the way for the assimilation of proselytes within the Torah defined Hebrew Jewish faith. The consolidation of the intent of the Hebrew-Israelite prophets is that the future prophetic streams to be fulfilled will include the return of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel plus the return of the Jewish people in the diaspora back to the lands of their forefathers.
They asked to be returned to their ancestral homeland, not necessarily to be given free land as a tribal inheritance, but to have the privilege to purchase land and build homes, raise families, gain productive employment, and participate in the Hebrew-Jewish halakhic spiritual life with their tribal brothers, as the Jews of Judah do in Israel.
There remains a great gulf or division amongst these returnees seeking aliyah, who are not willing to convert their beliefs to align with the Torah and the Prophets lifestyle which had been given to Am Yisrael (Jews of the House of Judah and the Lost Israelites of the House of Israel a.k.a. 'Joseph or Ephraim'). The apostate Christian concepts of the Church yield to a missionary or evangelistic spirit that seeks to draw the Jewish people away from their Torah belief system and lifestyle.
Having a name, such as an Ephraimite, may not also recognize the true ancestral genealogy of the devotee wanting to live in Israel. According to Jewish tradition, it will not be until the arrival of Elijah the prophet that each Israelite will be given his tribal identity. So carrying your genealogical tree, even with its imperfections, does not necessarily state one’s own true identity.
What does state one’s true identity, is whether one is seeking to live in the land of Israel, wanting to return in full fellowship with the Jewish people, their Torah and Halacha (traditional religious lifestyle) and then be drawn together as one family to the full understanding of the Messiah of Israel, when He is fully revealed at the end of days.
This includes healing the path of apostasy that our forefather’s began in the 10th century BCE, when the Northern Tribes of Israel broke away from the House of Judah, refused to worship in the Temple of Solomon, refused to accept the divinely appointed priesthood in Jerusalem, refused to accept the Mechoqeck (Lawgiver faculty, the rabbis and sages of Judah), who were to preserve the Oracles of G-d, the messages of the prophets, and the intent of how to live the life of Torah through the guidelines in Oral Torah. Our ancient tribal Israelite forefathers also refused to accept the divinely appointed lineages of kings through the house of Kings David and Solomon. They insisted in setting up their own kingdom.
The apostate Israelites (of the 10 Northern Tribes of Israel) decided that they knew better, and devised a new religion upon the “golden calf” worship of Ba’el, rebuilt a new oppositional temple in Samaria, and set up a Northern kingship that was in literal rebellion to the G-d of Israel while also they created their own apostate royal dynasty.
The result of their apostate ways is that they were rejected by G-d, cut off from His Covenant and exiled amongst the nations. They have thus become “Lost” for twenty seven centuries. Today, we see the reverse of this apostasy, and the beginnings of the restoration of Am Israel (All Israel Jews and Israelites alike) according to the Divine Prophecies enshrined in the Bible.
To live and settle in the land of Israel, one has to be a Jew of maternal descent or convert to Judaism. There is no other way. Even more so, though the conversion regulations in Israel have been taken away from the Rabbinic courts and are now governed by secular courts, the Shomer (Guardian) of Israel has also taken care by the way of the latest conversion regulations by the government. The secular authorities have added a “spiritual” selection criterion that any prospective convert to Judaism will only be allowed to enter the process by qualifying according to the rating of their involvement in Jewish society prior to their application, plus a maximum of 1 year required exposure within Jewish society after conversion.
For those who willingly seek to rebel against rabbinic authority and misusing the conversion process for ulterior motives as a means to enter the Land of Promise during turbulent times, will have the difficult time of living under the conversion rules of peacefully living and worshipping in a homogeneous spiritual and religious social atmosphere. Fake conversions will be difficult, so the ulterior motive of those seeking to be the “First Fruits” of the Lost Tribes of Israel converting back to their ancient Hebrew Judaic faith will become the sifting process of creating a true Hebrew-Judaic-Israelite ‘Life-cycle’. Strange as it may be, it will be governed by secular Jewish authorities but controlled by the Sovereign power of the G-d of Israel.
For all those who are from the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel, your destiny is now being mapped out for you. The days ahead are predicted by numerous sources, secular and religious, as being turbulent and catastrophic. Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods and fires will wreck havoc to our social cultures.
Nations will disappear. The Sovereignty of the United States and its Torah imbued Constitution is expected to be destroyed. An era of darkness will envelop the earth. The one shining haven on Planet Earth will be seen to be the Land of Israel. It’s time that each of you begins preparing mentally, spiritually and physically for your aliyah. If not, when the divine angelic forces protecting the gentile nations of the earth have been removed, you might want to be where the G-d of Israel has already prophesied where He intends for you to be. Have faith! He will provide the way for you to get home!
