What is said will happen when the Lost Tribes of Israel are reunited in Israel?

Question

Does anyone have a website about it? I know PBS did a piece on this, but I forget.

Answer 1

The Messiah will return soon after that.

But, it is difficult to determine who are the descendents of the ancient Jews.

I know because this is a subject that I am deeply interested in.

I would love to be able to determine where they all went and who are they today. We need them in Israel now...I do know that about 54% of all Palestinians are possibly descended from ancient Jews who never left Israel/ Canaan. (see links below)

Answer 2

A movement called "British Israelism" claims to have found the ten "lost tribes," however, and in some very unlikely places.

For many years, one of the leaders in the British Israelism movement was Herbert W. Armstrong, founder of the self-proclaimed "Worldwide Church of God." Especially for Americans, Armstrong was just about the only person they ever heard advocating British Israelism. With his own paid television program, Armstrong regularly advertised his book The United States and Britain in Prophecy, which advocated the view.

British Israelism was not Armstrong’s only eccentric view. Among other things, he believed in Saturday rather than Sunday worship and, most seriously, he rejected the doctrine of the Trinity and claimed that individual humans could be added to the Godhead.

After Armstrong’s death, the Worldwide Church of God did a serious review of the doctrines it had taught up to that point and moved to a more biblically and theologically orthodox position. Today, the organization is basically another Evangelical Protestant church (they have even been admitted to the National Association of Evangelicals), though with a few distinctive practices. Many of their congregations still worship on Saturdays, for example, but they no longer regard keeping the Jewish Sabbath and feasts as points of doctrine. They have embraced the doctrine of the Trinity, denied that created beings can become part of the Godhead, and acknowledged that other churches contain true Christians. They have also rejected the distinctive idea behind British Israelism—the claim that the lost tribes of Israel are to be specially identified with the Anglo-Saxons.

Unfortunately, there are still advocates of British Israelism out there (including some groups that split off from the Worldwide Church of God when it underwent its doctrinal renewal), and, though the book is out of print, Herbert W. Armstrong’s The United States and Britain in Prophecy continues to circulate.

Answer 3

To be honest with you I am very skeptical that the tribes were ever lost.

Granted that many of the people of the northern tribes were expelled to other lands, but many went down to Judah and mixed with the remainder of the Jews there.

I bet if you had a way to test for all the tribes you would find all of them in today's Jews.

Answer 4

Romans 11 gives you the scenario for that.

Answer 5

Tearful reunions and joy.
See for yourself....

Answer 6

First they would agree to order out for some food.
Then they would argue about what to order.
If they can not agree they will all go to separate restaurants and then go home.
