Did you know the tribes of Israel are not in the today's country of Israel ?
In today's post we are going to document through history, where those tribes are.
In the time of Ezra, only 42,000 from the tribe of Judah, and Benjamin returned to Jerusalem
( none from the other 10 tribes). The rest were Nethanims (many Kenites = Satan's offspring). The Leviticus priests got lazy, and hired foreigners to do priestly work ; they later became the scribes of Judah. There was a lot of mixing with the Babylonians going on at that time.
It was this mixed remnant of Judah, upon returning from the Babylon captivity in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, that became known as the nation of the Jews ; a name not applied to Judah prior to the Babylonian captivity.
By the time of Christ, continued mixing with the Amorites, Philistines, Canaanites, Babylonians and Hittites resulted in a racially mixed nation. Modern Jewry includes a further in-mixing with Mongol-Turkish people (Khazzar kingdom of Russia) who adopted Judaism during the 8th and 9th century.
It is evident that among these mixed people in Israel at the time of Christ were literal descendants of Cain (Satan's offspring), for Christ said of these "Jews" : "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own : for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin ? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me ? He that is of God heareth God's words : ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God". (John 8:44-47).
"But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto thee eternal life ; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My father which gave them me, is greater than all ; and no man is able to pluck them out of my father's hand. I and my Father are one" (John 10:26-30).
John recording God's word in Revelation, writes, "and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews (Judah), and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9).
In 70 A.D. the Romans drove the tribes out of Jerusalem.
In the 1948, when Israel became a nation, good (Judah and Benjamin), and bad (Kenites claiming to be Jews) figs returned to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 24).
At Mount Sinai, God gave His people a code of Laws, Statutes, Judgments, Commandments and Ordinances (the latter ceased with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ) by which His kingdom on earth would be administered.
These laws covered every phase of both national and individual life : social, financial, economic, ecclesiastical, agriculture, dietetic, and personal.
The keeping of these laws, on the promise and the assurance of God, will result happiness and contentment with freedom from sickness. Concerning these laws, the psalmist wrote : "The law of the Lord is perfect" (Psalms 19:7).
The people at Mt. Sinai entered into a solemn covenant with their God and King, for they said, "All that the Lord hath spoken we will do" (Exodus 24:7-8).
That is what is known as the first or national Covenant and must not be confused with the Abrahamic Covenant which was made some 400 years previously and which was unconditional. The Covenant made at Mt. Sinai was made conditional upon keeping of the Laws, Statutes, judgments, and Commandments of God.
So we find God laying before His people the conditions of this National Covenant. If they kept His laws, blessed would they be in all their undertakings. However, if they didn't keep His laws, blessings would be taken away, and they will be cursed.
For a good many years all went well, the people obeyed the laws of the kingdom and received the promised rewards.
Then they began to tire and wanted to be like other people around them.
The house of Israel (10 tribes), and the house of Judah got separated (due to idolatry), and remain separated unto this day (they will become one again upon Christ's return).
The kingdom was divided into two: The northern Kingdom (10 tribes), and the southern kingdom (two tribes).
The 10 tribes were captive by the Assyrians (God allowed it, due to idolatry), and later some escaped and went north. They passed the Caucuses mountains, settled in Europe, and later migrated to Canada and United States.
Judah (the two tribes) were captive by the Babylonians for 70 years.
The Israelites called Gimira by the Assyrians and Gimmerians by the Greeks ; they established a reign of terror in Asia Minor. They finally migrated to Europe to a place which they called Arsareth (II Esdras 13:40-44).
In 650 - 600 B.C. Israelites in Media became known as Scythians.
During the 5th century B.C. the Scythian Israelites began moving across the rivers Don and Dnieper, thus coming into collision with the Cimmerian Israelites who had earlier migrated round the west of the Black Sea.
In 650 - 500 B.C. Cimmerians in Europe moved up to Danube and became known as Celts.
In 525 - 300 B.C. Others driven out of south Russia by the Scythians moved north-west between the rivers Oder and Vistula to the Baltic, where they later became known as Cimbri.
As the Scythians were driven west by the Sarmatians they in turn drove the Cimbri across the Rhine into France.
The Cimbri, in search of living area, went roving and pillaging as far as Spain and Italy, but were almost entirely wiped out in battles with the Romans. One group did reach north Britain, by ships, and became known as the "Picts".
Between 400-100 B.C., the Celts (Celts were the main body of Scythians) poured into Britain to form the "bed-rock" of the British race. One group in Spain, known as "Iberes" (the Gaelic name for Hebrews) moved into Ireland as "Scots", naming the island "Hibernia", a name that still exists. Some Celts remaining in Spain, became known as "Basques" ; others, in France, became known as "Bretons".
During the succeeding centuries the Scythian Germans broke up into many divisions, possibly in some instances into their original Israel tribal families. One group settled around the shores of the Baltic Sea as "Goths". Others became the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes (Denmark) and Vikings, to name just a few.
The first Israel tribe to be conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh, in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776. In the case of Ephraim we start with 721 B.C. when Samaria , the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel, fell to the Assyrians.
Exactly 2520 years from that date, Great Britain became a Commonwealth (Jan. 1, 1881). The last tribe to go into captivity was Benjamin. Remember Benjamin was "lent as a light unto Judah", so that they would be light bearers before Judah for all times. And, as their captivity started later than any of the other tribes, we would expect it to end last, which proved to be the case.
The great Scottish Pyramidologist and Bible Chronologist, Dr. Adam Rutherford F.R.G.S., told the Icelandic nation many years ago that on a certain day and certain year, they would become an independent nation. They laughed at him and said it would be impossible since they were under the control of Denmark. Exactly 2520 years from the exile of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation. When invited by the Icelandic Parliament to address them after their independence, Dr. Rutherford reminded them of his prediction, and many members of the Parliament acknowledged they were of Benjamin.
It is difficult to determine with certainty which Anglo-Saxon (Saxon means, son of Isaac) - Scandinavia - Lombard - Germanic - Celtic nation of today is basically from which particular Israel tribe. There has been much intermingling among the tribes in their westward migrations. In God's plan of the ages they progressively became "many nations" in Europe and a "company of nations" (the Commonwealth of Great Britain) with colonies and daughter nations.
Today, certain European and Scandinavian nations appear to possess certain characteristics of the individual tribes of Israel, which may well indicate the people of those nations are predominately of that particular tribe (i.e., Denmark - Dan ; Holland - Zebulun ; Germany (in part) - Judah. Great Britain, although it can be identified with Ephraim, has a large infusion of Judah as well as other tribes. America, possessing the "birthright marks" of Joseph, can only be identified as modern Manasseh. However, it is today, peopled by a gathering of all the other tribes of Israel. This is in fulfillment of the prophesy of Jeremiah. "In those days the house of Judah (tribes of the southern kingdom) shall walk with the house of Israel (tribes of the northern Kingdom), and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance (appointed land - II Samuel 7:10) unto your fathers (Jer. 3:18).
Our flag is made up from the colors of scarlet, blue and white, the colors of Israel of old. These colors covered the table of the shew bread within the Tabernacle. Red is the color of blood and signified justice or judgment, reminding us of the shed blood of Christ for the redemption of His people Israel ; White, signifying purity or holiness, the color of snow ; (Psalms 50:7 ; Isaiah 1:18). Blue the color of the sky signifying love and because this is the color of the heavens it is representative of God.
The name Manasseh means "forgetfulness" and if there has ever been a people forgetful of all their past, it is this tribe of Manasseh (United States). However, America, as prophesied of Manasseh, did become the great nation, one out of many, and took her place in the appointed time, in fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham.
America has yet to recognize her relationship to God, and re-institute His laws. Through the centuries Israel has usually had to be chastised into repentance.
NOTE : ISRAEL (10 TRIBES) = CELTS, ANGLO-SAXONS, IBERIANS, VIKINGS.
JUDAH (TWO TRIBES) = THE ROYAL FAMILIES OF EUROPE ; QUEEN ELIZABETH OF GREAT BRITAIN COMES FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
