Who ARE the children of Joseph?

We (Northern kingdom)were taken into captivity into Assyria.

We were assimilated into all the nations. We forgot our true
identity.

We are awakening from spiritual amnesia.

A veil is being removed: we are remembering who we are.

We are developing a group/national identity. (Bney Yosef)

By faith, we see ourselves as the 10 tribes of the Northern
kingdom; the non-Jewish part of Israel.

By faith, we see ourselves as the House of Israel, as
Ephraim/Joseph.

We have come out from the Sunday church world, we see
ourselves as Bney Yosef, children/descendants of Joseph.

How to recognize Joseph:

We keep shabbat and biblical feasts.

We eat biblically clean.
We strive to keep torah by the power of the spirit.
We have a deep love for the land of Israel and the Jewish
people.
We read/study/follow the torah reading cycle.
We identify with Yeshua as our Messiah.
We have come out of traditional Sunday Christian church
settings.
There are those who are still in Sunday church and they
may be Joseph; but may not have awakened to this.yet.
