Taipan,
Thanks.
I watched it.
Brit = covenant
Ish = man
I am aware of the 'British' peoples are 'covenant-man' [lost tribes] argument.
Taipan,
QUESTION;
Even if there is a legitimate connection to the 'British' peoples as the 'covenant-man' [lost tribes],
what worth, is a covenant that has been broken, and continues to be flouted, by one of the parties to that covenant ?Taipan,
If you want to be led down the path that Eli James is offering to you, i can't stop you.
But it is not a path for me.
e.g.
Listen to what Eli James admits, at, 23m 50s, about those peoples who are the 'real' Israel today....
'Israel' [the 10 tribes], separated themselves from Jerusalem [the holy city, AND SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM THE COMMANDMENTS, AND STATUTES OF GOD], and corrupted themselves!!!
But Eli James calls the 10 tribes of 'Israel' [the 10 lost tribes], the real Israel ???
Really ?
But listen to Eli James speak it, at, 23m 50s....
They are the peoples who corrupted themselves - in their northern kingdom -
"and made two calves of gold, and said unto them,....behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
!!! cited... 1 Kings 12:28
LOL
Taipan,
Yes, the tribes of Israel were divided into two nations, 'Israel' [10 northern tribes], and Judah [Judah and Benjamin] in the south.
Yes, the descendants of other tribes of Israel, still exist.
But are those descendants [today] of the other tribes,
1/ 'in covenant' [and obeying the commandments, and statutes of the original covenant] with their God, and,
2/ are they 'seeking' their God, and,
3/ how exactly are those peoples
showing reverence to their holy God, today ?
How ?
Or, are they [the majority of those lost 'covenant peoples'] still behaving as though they are 'lost' [and spiritually separated from their creator!], and wandering, lost, in the spiritual 'wilderness', that the world is ?
Q.
If those descendants are not 'seeking' their God, today,
why aren't they ?
A.
Because they are 'lost', in the world.
Just as the Jewish people - too - have been 'lost', in the world.And the vast majority of those 'lost' peoples have 'gone native' [spiritually], in this world, they are living in 'Babylon' and in 'Egypt' again.
Taipan,
Anyone [e.g. like Eli James]
who believes that - they - are the direct descendants of the lost tribes of Israel [which they indeed, may be!], and that their 'bloodline' will save them from the wrath of God, they are mistaken.
Taipan,
Something wondrous and terrible is happening in the world at the moment, in this age.
We who are alive today, are witnessing it happen!And yet, people like yourself are concerned about separating people out, according to their race and according to their 'bloodlines' ?
Matthew 6:33
.....seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;.....
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Taipan,
I don't know if a person like yourself believes in my God, but my God does not care about 'bloodlines'.
Our God cares about the nature and the character of the - spirit - which is in our heart !Not about 'bloodlines'.
e.g.
Speaking of the Jews of Jesus day, and 'the natural branches' [WHICH COULD ALSO BE APPLICABLE TO THE 10 LOST TRIBES]....
Romans 11:20
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Taipan,
The spirit of God, is working out his purpose in the world today.
He is calling to mankind to turn to HIM again.
Yet mankind still refuse to turn to HIM.
"And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not."
"....yet repented not of the works of their hands,"
"...and repented not of their deeds."
Listen to what Eli James says, at, 17m 20s
Eli James calls Judah [modern Israel], anti-christ.
Taipan,
There is certainly a spirit of anti-christ - abroad - in the world today.
But that spirit isn't emanating from the modern nation of Israel.

God is a spirit.
Can't you guess, how
the God of Israel is going to be revealed - to the whole world ?
