Study Genesis 49:10 and 2 Samuel 7.
I'm wondering what it is that you see that says these things to you.
Much love!

Study Genesis 49:10 and 2 Samuel 7.
To them were given the oracles of God; and the Royal line of Judah was the means of the coming into the world of the Messiah.It's much simpler than that.
God ordained Israel to be a light unto the world for God. Missionaries, priests and preachers. A nation of God.
But they failed. But they will succeed in the kingdom under the covenant to the houses of Judah and Israel.
Not sure where you coming from with that question.
Actually, I didn't find these relevant towards whether there are 10 lost tribes.
Much love!

The Bible makes it clear 12 tribes around. Just read Revelation.
I was interested to reply, until I read this.
But to throw my 2 cents in . . . the believing Jews from the 10 northern tribe moved to Judah after the division of the nation, and again I think during Hezekiah's time, when the feasts were re-established.
There are no 10 lost tribes.

I think this notion of 10 lost tribes is so that people can claim to be one of them.

The 12 Tribes have not meant twaddle for 2000 years.
Any clown that is trying to make out that they are on one or the other Tribe is just insane. not to mention racist madness that only worthy of Nazi type of trash.
Anyone who looks to the people who claim to be Jews and thinks that they are people worthy of God is not a Christian, fact is that they are Anti-Christ in fact.
Sounds like British Israelism to me. Possibly Armstrongism. Not Bible Christianity.10. God's vineyard, in the parable of the husbandmen in Matthew 21, was moved to the "multitude of nations" that Ephraim's seed was to become (Gen.48). God had promised Jacob that his seed would become "a company of nations" also (Gen.35), and not just one nation known as Israel. Where do you think those "multitude of nations" were, and are? They are the historical Christian West and their allied Christian nations.

They were called the Ten Lost Tribes by the Jews. The Jews thought more of group identity than we do. We follow the Western tradition of individualism. They weren't lost in the sense that we think of when someone is lost in the forest, for example. When we say it, we mean that we can't locate them. When the Jews said it about the Ten Lost Tribes, it is that many (perhaps the majority) lost their identity as part of a tribe of Israel.
You just don't want to accept God's Truth as written.
The 12 tribes were serving God according to that passage. My question is, where were they serving God?
How lost could they be?
The don't seem lost to the writer.
Much love!

Well, what does the Genesis 49:10 verse declare? And who is that "Shiloh" a symbolic name for?

British-Israelism refuted!
Anglo/British Israelism Herbert W. Armstrong REFUTED!
the ten tribes were together with Judah then because of Christ's command for His disciples to not go to the Gentiles at the first, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
The 12 tribes were serving God according to WHAT passage?
I tell you, in Jesus' day, the majority of the 12 tribes of Israel were scattered in the countries, just as God promised He would do to them for disobeying Him (Deut.4 & 28). And that is why James in James 1:1 addressed only some of them that were scattered abroad, meaning a remnant among the scattered 12 tribes.
The Jewish historian Josephus (100 A.D.) said that the ten tribes were still beyond Euphrates, and were a great number of people.
"And when these Jews had understood what piety the King had towards God, and what kindness he had for Esdras, they were all greatly pleased. Nay many of them took their effects with them, and came to Babylon; as very desirous of going down to Jerusalem. But then, the intire body of the people of Israel remained in that countrey. Wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe, subject to the Romans: while the ten tribes are beyond Euphrates till now; and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers."
(Antiquities of the Jews, Flavius Josephus, book XI, 5.2)
The two tribes in Asia and Europe Josephus said were subject to the Romans were the Jews of the "house of Judah", i.e., the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
There's a nice invitation to continue to debate. You know that these sorts of statement tend to put people off, right? Is that why you make them, hoping I'll go away?
