Many often have wondered exactly where the remainng ten tribes of Israel may be. This has confounded the minds of many over the centuries. You see, the House of Isarel was taken captive and scattered a few hundred years before the House of Judah was taken captive by Babylon. The house of Israel became scattered and swollowed up in the nations of the worlds - they lost their roots and idenity. But the Jews (i.e. the House of Judah)have always retained their idenity even throughout their wanderings. It is believed by some that those who call themselves Jews today consist of the tribe of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi all which can be found in the geneologies of those coming out of babylon, under Ezra and Neamiah, and once again being established in Israel. These are the same tribes that were scattered after 70 AD and gathered again in 1948 up to the present day. As for the remaining tribes - some believe they may be intermingled with the English, Italians, British etc.,etc., etc. In fact, many of the promises (given through Moses and Jacob) to Manasseh and Ephriam (that they should became many nations and blessed with hills and fruitfulness etc.)have apparently been fulfilled by the peoples of Great Britian and the United States. Hence some believe the anglo-saxons (saxon = sons of Issac)consist of some of the lost tribes. Even to this day some anglo-saxions have Jewish features etc. In all these considerations Adonai led me to rest content in the fact that He knows those who are His. We cannot focus our whole attention on the natural House of Israel, in these last days, waiting for Yeshua to raise up some natural Jews to fuifill Elohim's purposes. What I am trying to say is that many Gentiles may unknownly be part of the original tribes of Israel and therefore they too will have part in the 144,000 etc. Both the House of Israel and the House of Judah will be brought together in these last days. For us it is a matter of "confusion of face" but Adonai knows those who are His. The remnant of the Jews that exist today - mainly in Israel and New York City etc., is not the only Israel Yahveh sees. He sees the whole house of Israel which numbers more than the sand of the sea and indeed is "many nations". Let us no longer single out natural Jews in Adonai's last day plan, we must allow room for some who appear to be gentile Christians which indeed may really be "natural branches". Hence, the racial barriers are dropped - let us seek followship and coporation with all our brethren (Jew or Gentile) in Mashiach. (These are just considerations and are not being presented as hard facts - there is much theory and speculation as to who exactly is part of the original 12 tribes of Israel. All in all the tribes that lost their idenity need to be brought back to their roots in the sense that the Gentile Church needs the life blood of Jewish Christian believers if ever they are to experience what it means to be a true and faith Christian to Mashiach. The House of Israel needs the House of Judah in the same sense that the Gentile Church needs the Jewish messianic Church that together they can be a witness for Yeshua in these last days. These things narrow down to the possibility that: Gentile Christians = the lost ten tribes of Israel that have been gathered through the preaching of the gospel. This gathering took 2000 years. Now that it is about accomplished their brethren, the House of Judah, will be grafted bac in and the two will become one body in Mashiach. Together, with mashiach in their midst, they will go forth - the moment the whole creation has been awaiting. . . This is by no means a complete post. It may be clarified at a later time.
