All the mixing is pretty much in present time. Before the United States of America, ethnic groups stayed within ethnic groups and it is only in the last few years that races have mixed...at least to the extent now seen.

That is totally false. It is absurdly false. The ten tribes known as the "house of Israel" were driven out of the promised land in the 8th century BC. That's about 2700 years ago!

Is there any record of any of those tribes existing as identifiable groups that avoided interbreeding with Gentiles? No. And even the "Jews" who have kept pretty tight breeding groups after being evicted from Israel in 70 AD have largely intermixed with Gentiles. This is easily proven by DNA.

These are elementary facts that destroy the "two house" doctrine and the idea that the ten tribes have retained their genetic identity after 2700 years of intermixing. I have posted the evidence in another thread a couple years ago. I find it and show it to you when I get back from my afternoon walk with Rose.

I don't see it as "secret identity," just a forgotten identity. Interestingly, Manasseh means forgetful.

Right ... so let's think about this. An Israelite from the tribe of Asher, say, breeds with a Gentile woman. Their kids are half-Asher. Then their kids breed with a Gentile and the grand-kids are 1/4 Asher and 3/4 Gentile. After a hundred generations, nearly every "Gentile" can now trace their ancestry to that one person. That's how population dynamics works. We are all cousins. As soon as the DNA gets into the interbreeding communities, it quickly diffuses throughout the whole world. I'll show you the technical scientific articles when I get back from my walk.

Of course the verse has great meaning. It speaks of the things that the Spirit reveals to believers, that look like foolishness to non-believers. It has absolutely nothing to do with the foolish errors of date-setting.

Try as you might...I am not offended. But, thank you for "All the best."

Matthew 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me.

John 16:1-3 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me.

.

I'm NOT trying to offend. But the truth is offensive in this case because you are in the habit of denying truth, and claiming that your wild interpretations of the Bible are not "interpretations" at all but rather "what the Bible says." That is a fundamental delusion. And it is extremely arrogant for you to assert that your own fallible ideas are really "just what the Bible says."

I am truly and sincerely trying to help. I really do want what is best for you. And in my estimation, the most important thing for you to know is that you are under the delusion that you do not "interpret" the Bible.

Well, gotta go!

Chat more when we get back.

All the best, my friend!

According to Flavius Josephus: "...the entire body of the people of Israel remained in that country; 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 (Book XI Chapter 5 Section 2)

Hey there 144,

Great post! Thanks. You presented a lot of info.

Re Josephus: It doesn't look like he really knew where the tribes were, or if they even existed. If they were "beyond the Euphrates" why are they invisible in all history? It seems most likely that he was just passing on a wishful tradition that imagined they still existed "somewhere over the rainbow" or in this case, "beyond the Euphrates." That quote from Josephus would not convince anyone not already convinced.

Re nivrecu: I would have to do more research to confirm the connection with the idea of "mingling" but even if Chumney is correct, it is not a proof of anything because you cannot create or confirm new doctrines by playing with puns on the words of Scripture. Otherwise folks can make up any doctrine they want from the limitless ocean of possible puns. At best they might exemplify the doctrines established by the plain meaning. In this case, we know the primary meaning is "blessed" because that's how it was translated in the New Testament.

Re Videos from the BritAm site: I'm not sure it's worth my time to refute them since the whole doctrine of British Israelitism is totally bogus.

All the best,

Richard

Brit Covenant Am People - Covenant People

Yair Davidy, he is an orthodox Jew not a british Israelite/ oy vey

Note that when Josephus mentioned "Asia", he was referring to Asia Minor or modern-day Turkey. In general, he made a semi-veiled reference to the Ten Tribes of Israel being located in Parthian territory, Rome's arch rival across the Euphrates River, the de facto border between the two empires. He did not need to say "Parthia". Everyone during his time knew what he was referring to in the same way people living in California today would not need a description of what is "east of the Mississippi River" or what is "south of the Rio Grande". Yet, for those who understand the extreme fluidity of the Middle East and Central Asia, it begs the question: "Who are the Parthians today?" ...or rather: "Where did the descendants of Parthia and related Saka-Scythian peoples go in later centuries?"

Because of numerous circumstances that led up to and followed the collapse of the Parthian Empire in the 3rd Century CE, we believe most of the evidence indicates some of their descendant population remained in Asia, but much of it (and closely related groups surrounding Parthia) expanded into Europe and deeper into India during the time period known as the Great Migration. For more evidence, see: Israelite Haplogroup (DNA) Hypotheses

I don't see how any of this matters. The fact remains that the ten lost tribes have not retained any identity so they can not prevent interbreeding with Gentiles, and after more than 2000 years of such interbreeding, there is nothing left to identify. Their DNA is part of the Gentile DNA. Remember, we are all cousins. Folks who believe that the ten tribes are somehow mixed in anonymously amongst the Gentiles just don't understand population dynamics. For example (source):

One very interesting probability model created by a demographer for genealogists, is that a child born in 1947 in Englad tracing back to 1492 would have 60,000 ancestors. Going back further to 1215, this child would find that 80% of the entire population of England at that time would be on his/her family tree! So anyone living in present-day England who traces his/her lineage back through English history would theoretically be related. This is why genealogists find so many people searching for the same families in the 1600s and earlier, and why we find so many "cousins" out there in our search. I've found hundreds of cousins in the last year while searching via the Internet.

That conclusion is based on only 800 years. The ten tribes have been intermingling with Gentiles for at least 2000 years. They are now completely blended into the Gentile gene pool. They do not exist any more.

And here is the clincher. There have been plenty from the House of Judah that also introduced their genes into the general population thousands of years ago, so almost everyone on the planet can trace their heritage back to both "houses" and we see that the whole "two house" theory is absurd and contrary to the facts.

Here is something I posted on this topic last summer.

Here's an article from ScienceDaily that explains how a scientist has concluded that everyone currently living - that's all of us - are descended from the "identical ancestors" who lived only 2000 years ago:

While we may not all be 'brothers,' the models suggest we are all hundredth cousins or so," said Joseph T. Chang, professor in the Department of Statistics at Yale University and senior author on the paper.

Chang established the basis of this research in a previous publication with an intentionally simplified model that ignored such complexities as geography and migration. Those precise mathematical results showed that in a world obeying the simplified assumptions, the most recent common ancestor would have lived less than 1,000 years ago. He also introduced the "identical ancestors point," the most recent time -- less than 2,000 years ago in the simplified model -- when each person was an ancestor to all or ancestor to none of the people alive today.

The current paper presents more realistic mathematical and computer models. It incorporates factors such as socially driven mating, physical barriers of geography and migration, and recorded historical events. Although such complexities make pure mathematical analysis difficult, it was possible to integrate them into an elaborate computer simulation model. The computer repeatedly simulated history under varying assumptions, tracking the lives, movements, and reproduction of all people who lived within the last 20,000 years.

These more realistic models estimate that the most recent common ancestor of mankind lived as recently as about 3,000 years ago, and the identical ancestors point was as recent as several thousand years ago. The paper suggests, "No matter the languages we speak or the color of our skin, we share ancestors who planted rice on the banks of the Yangtze, who first domesticated horses on the steppes of the Ukraine, who hunted giant sloths in the forests of North and South America, and who labored to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu."

This means that every person living is a physical descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!

This is easy to understand. Basically, population dynamics is like a drop of ink in water. It doesn't take long until it is diffused throughout the whole.

This absolutely destroys the dispensational theory based on the carnal bloodline of Abraham. I would be delighted if anyone would like to attempt to challenge this conclusion.

All the very best,

Richard

Dude ... your long list of uninterpreted Scriptures is meaningless. The words must be read and understood in light of the whole Bible. It appears that you reject the many Scriptures that show how the promises and prophecies were fulfilled in the Church, which originated in the faithful remnant of Israel. For example, Christians are called "The Circumcision" and "The Seed of Abraham" and all unbelievers who happen to be carnal descendants of Abraham are called "Children of the Flesh" who are NOT the "Children of God."

How long have you been studying Scripture? Why would you think that your list of uninterpreted verses would prove anything to anyone?

Your style of "reasoning" is illogical and fallacious. The truth or falsehood of the article is not determined by the name of the author, the school he attended, or any non sequitur associations you derive from English Gematria.

I'm listening to Yair Davidiy's video called "The Ten Tribes in the West Overview.

He begins by asserting that the Ten Tribes would be found in the western nations, and then immediately contradicts himself by claiming that the Bible says the Ten Tribes "would be found in the ends of the earth" which includes places like Australia, New Zealand, America, the British Isles, Scandinavia and South Africa. By his standards, the "ends of the earth" would also include China, Japan, and Hawaii and every other place on the planet outside of Israel. So right off the bat, he appears to be a raving nut case babbling gibberish. And he is practically screaming into the camera.

And then he contradicts himself again saying that the lost tribes "must" be found in "the best places of the earth" as if that is supposed to mean anything, let alone prove anything. In his system the "ends of the earth" include the entire globe outside of Israel, so he is not making any sense at all.

Next he says they will be found in the "north and the west" of Israel! HA! Now I'm convinced he a certified nut-job! First he says there everywhere on the planet, then he says they are in the "salubrious" regions, and then he says the will be to the "north" and to the "west." And he's yelling the whole time. Why should anyone believe him?

And then he reveals his total insanity when he says that "the lost tribes would be known as a lion and unicorn." Say what? There ain't no such animal as a "unicorn." That word only appears in the Bible because of a really stupid translation of "r'em." So he sees the Lion and Unicorn on the royal coat of arms and makes up this meaningless crap? And you believe him?

And this is what I saw in only the first five minutes of his introductory video. I don't see any reason to continue watching. If you want to present his "best" evidence, I would be happy to refute it for you. You really need to clear your mind. Your head is filled with trash. English Gematria. Futurism. Date Setting. BritAm and the Ten Lost Tribes. It's all garbage.

Is there any record of any of those tribes existing as identifiable groups that avoided interbreeding with Gentiles? No. And even the "Jews" who have kept pretty tight breeding groups after being evicted from Israel in 70 AD have largely intermixed with Gentiles. This is easily proven by DNA.

These are elementary facts that destroy the "two house" doctrine and the idea that the ten tribes have retained their genetic identity after 2700 years of intermixing. I have posted the evidence in another thread a couple years ago. I find it and show it to you when I get back from my afternoon walk with Rose.

The Words of our Father in [Ezekiel 37] dispute your words. Also, the Words of our Saviour [Matthew 15:24] dispute your words.

Right ... so let's think about this. An Israelite from the tribe of Asher, say, breeds with a Gentile woman. Their kids are half-Asher. Then their kids breed with a Gentile and the grand-kids are 1/4 Asher and 3/4 Gentile. After a hundred generations, nearly every "Gentile" can now trace their ancestry to that one person. That's how population dynamics works. We are all cousins. As soon as the DNA gets into the interbreeding communities, it quickly diffuses throughout the whole world. I'll show you the technical scientific articles when I get back from my walk.

The words of Richard....OR.....the Words of our Lord? The valley of decision entraps many for it is the valley of the shadow of death.

Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

Of course the verse has great meaning. It speaks of the things that the Spirit reveals to believers, that look like foolishness to non-believers. It has absolutely nothing to do with the foolish errors of date-setting.

No...it has "absolutely nothing to do with" non-believers. Who does Satan want? Who does he go to war with? Who does he deceive?

CHRISTIANS - BELIEVERS

The "spiritually discerned" are misled believers. They follow their thoughts, their heart, man's words and not those of the Lord. They have not yet crucified their "old man." Consequently they don't see and hear what the Spirit teaches.

I'm NOT trying to offend.

You don't offend me. Your words are offensive but I don't pay attention. They are your choice to use or not use.

But the truth is offensive in this case because you are in the habit of denying truth, and claiming that your wild interpretations of the Bible are not "interpretations" at all but rather "what the Bible says." That is a fundamental delusion. And it is extremely arrogant for you to assert that your own fallible ideas are really "just what the Bible says."

I am truly and sincerely trying to help. I really do want what is best for you. And in my estimation, the most important thing for you to know is that you are under the delusion that you do not "interpret" the Bible.

Well, gotta go!

Chat more when we get back.

All the best, my friend!
