Do you think they will ever return?
Will they have to become Jews if they do?

Hi there,
I'm a historian and I focus on ancient history. I can tell you that the 10 lost tribes were taken out of the Northern Israelite Kingdom, known as Samria in the early 8th century BC. This is when the Assyrian Armies captured Samaria, not only is this documented in history but in the bible as well. I think it's in I Kings.
Anyway, after the Assyrian conquest, the 10 tribes were scattered throughout the eastern portion of the Assyrian Empire by King Sargon. From this point on it appears that they took the name Scythians (or Kuthia in Persian). However, there's no real proof of the name-change. It is well known however, that historically speaking they ceased to be a people after the Assyrian conquest, and other peoples were relocated to Samaria from throughout the Empire to populate Samaria. These new people, not at all related to the Jews that still lived in Judea.
I hope this helps you. God bless!

The lost tribes of Israel were taken into the North country, there hidden from the world until their return, when they return they will inherit part of the American continent and the Jews will have all of Israel to themselves. And no they will not have to become Jews, they will join the true church of Jesus Christ. In my opinion that is The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints.

you're complicated the lost tribes of Israel with the Judeans. After Solomon, the united kingdom of Israel and Judah split returned. The northern kingdom, Israel, substitute into conquered with the aid of the Assyrians approximately 722 BC. Tiglath-Pileser III used a resettlement coverage to be certain that conquered peoples stayed pacified. The Assyrians did not mass-migrate finished populations; they simply resettled the better instructions, in small communities, all for the period of their empire; yet those ten tribes of the Northern Kingdom grew to alter into "lost" nonetheless, interior the historic experience. not something is returned heard of them as countries. however the prevalent human beings of Galilee and Samaria in Jesus' day have been the descendants of the "lost" tribes, minus the resettled ones. The southern kingdom, Judah, held on till 597 BC, while it substitute into ultimately conquered with the aid of the Babylonians, not the Assyrians, who deported 10,000 greater-classification voters to Babylon. A puppet king, Zedekiah, regulations for some years greater, then rebelled; Judah substitute into conquered returned, Zedekiah deposed, and greater Jews deported to Babylon. yet, in assessment to the "lost" tribes, the Judean tribes retained or perhaps hardened their experience of national identity. Cyrus conquered Babylon a sprint later, approximately 539 BC, and allowed the Jews to bypass abode. yet many Jews chosen to stay in Babylon. as a result we've the memories of Daniel, and Esther, nonetheless in Babylon below Persian kings (Darius and Xerxes) nicely after Cyrus introduced the Exile to an end.

none of the tribes are lost
even according to the Assyrian documents that were found they did not exile everyone from the Northern tribes.
after the Northern kingdom fell there was a 200 year period were people went to the kingdom of Judah were they mixed with the Jews of today.
It is true most of the members of the Northern tribes were exiled to never return, but to say that they were completely lost is not true. If we had the DNA of each tribe you would find all of them in toady's Jews.

They are scattered among the nations and the Lord Himself will bring them into the Land of Israel.
They will already be Jews as far as G-D is concerned, so the opinions of others will not matter.
This is a subject that I have a tremendous interest in by the way.
