This means in a spiritual sense Christians are the Ten Northern Tribes of Israel 'Lost' from the people of Israel in all Interest / Nation, without exception there are genes Israel


Recalling the incident ever before




Around 1900 BC, there is a Hebrew named Jacob who is the ancestor of Israel. Jacob's name later changed to Israel. Israel had 12 sons, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, and Benjamin. Heredity is they who are called by the 12 Tribes of Israel. The 12-tribe is referred to as "the people of Israel".


After they occupied the land of Canaan, the tribe of Levi did not get the inheritance because they are a special tribe, the tribe of priests. The tribe of Joseph was divided into two according to the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim is (as Joseph received a double blessing from his father, Israel). Thus the land of Canaan was divided into 12 sections by the Nation of Israel.


Then, the 12 Tribes of Israel reached its peak in the reign of King Solomon in the tenth century BC. But after the death of Solomon, the kingdom of Israel split into two, Northern Kingdom of Israel (which is called the Kingdom of Israel), and the Southern Kingdom of Israel (which is called the kingdom of Judah). Capital of the Kingdom of Israel in Samaria and the kingdom of Judah / Judea capital in Jerusalem. The word "Jew" is used to refer to descendants of the southern kingdom, which eventually form the modern State of Israel, thus referring to the people of modern Israel.


Ten Northern Tribes of Israel 'Lost' comes from the northern kingdom, while the tribe of Judah and Benjamin joined the southern kingdom. In the eighth century BC The northern kingdom was conquered by the Assyrian Nation from the Assyrian Empire, and the Ten Tribes of Israel was held captive and forced to go to the Land of Assyria. They never came back again and there is no record of them again. They are called the Ten Northern Tribes of Israel 'Lost'.


About the tribe of Simeon is not mentioned much and believed to have been dispersed since the death of Jacob, some sources combine this with the Ten Tribes Tribes of the 'missing' from the north, but several others combine it with the southern kingdom, and its position in the 'tenth' Interest replaced by ' Manasseh west 'and' eastern Manasseh '(a large tribe of Manasseh have two sections of land, one on the west bank of the Jordan, and one on the east).




12 Tribes of Israel


According to Jewish and Christian scriptures, Jacob has 12 sons and 1 daughter who recorded (Dina) of two wives and two concubines, ie (by order of birth in brackets):


Leah     : Reuben (1), Simeon (2), Levi (3), Judah (4), Issachar (9), Zebulun (10), Dina (P)
Rachel  : Joseph (11), Benjamin (12)
Bilhah   : Dan (5), Naphtali (6)
Zilpah   : Gad (7), Asher (8)


The 12-boy became the father of the ancestors of the 12 Tribes of Israel. When Moses, Eleazar, Joshua & the Chieftains-tribes of Israel divided the land on the 12 Tribes of Israel, the tribe of Levi did not get the part because the tribe is a pastor. Later in its development Tribe of Joseph was replaced by the tribe of Ephraim and Manasseh (Which is the son of Joseph from his Egyptian wife named Asenath).


And Allah has taken a covenant (of) the Children of Israel and We lift them 12 captains, and God said: "Surely I am with you, Except ye establish worship and practice regular charity and believe in My apostles and you help them and ye loan to Allah a good loan behold, I will cover your sins. and thou will I dropped into a paradise flowing rivers of water therein. So whoever among you who disbelieve after that, in fact he has strayed from the straight path.

Tribe of Levi who had religious duties have absolutely no soil (controls only 6 Cities area of ​​Temple and the rest). While the other tribe (Reuben, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Ephraim, Manasseh East, and West Manasseh) is part of the Northern Kingdom of Israel who later declared as Interest 'Lost'.

And one year later Samaria succumbed and destroyed. Population of Northern Kingdom of Israel which is the 10 Tribes of Israel exiled and banished to Khorason, which is now part of eastern Iran and western Afghanistan. These tribes believed by the Jews at this time has been lost to history.


The war was continued in the Middle East. Powerful nations clashing with each other fighting over the Middle East region. In the year 603 BC, the power of Assyrians (Assyrian) is replaced by the Nation of Babel (Babylon). In the reign of Babylon, the kingdom of Judah fell southern Israel, and Jerusalem was destroyed (587 BC), and there have been in exile in Babylon. 50 years later, 538 BC, Persian Empire seized control of Babylon.


Part of the Tribe of Judah and Benjamin allowed to return to Judea. But the other ten Tribes of Israel, residents of Northern Kingdom of Israel, never mentioning it again as the two rates, so they dubbed the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel 'Lost'.


Flavius ​​Josephus writing about Northern Ten Tribes of Israel 'Lost


In the Old Testament 2 Kings 18:11 says : 11 The king of Assyria deported Israel to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in towns of the Medes. 12 This happened because they had not obeyed the LORD their God, but had violated his covenant—all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded. They neither listened to the commands nor carried them out.

These places are now located on the northern part of Iraq and northwest Iran, called Kurdistan. The Ten Tribes of Israel was initially transported to it. According to the ancient historian Flavius ​​Josephus who lived in the first century, he wrote about the existence of the Ten Tribes : "The Ten Tribes are located in the Euphrates till now, and a very large number, that number can not be predicted." (Antiquities 11:2)

Josephus wrote that in the first century AD the ten Tribes of Israel live in very large numbers across the Euphrates River. This may mean that some of them scattered to the east of the river Euphrates.
