Where are they today?
 

Has anyone researched where the 12 tribes of Israel are today?

I know someone told me years ago that they believe the tribe of Manasseh is what is known as America today. And Ephraim is what is known as England.

Anyone heard anything along this line or done any research as to where they are today?

Sure, a guy I listen to,
http://www.shepherdschapel.com/
has a dvd/cd, you can fish around a little, or just call them to order; don't know if he has every tribe nailed, but he seems fairly sure about Russia, England, some others, and his logic chain is pretty compelling. You'll end up looking for the "ten tribes," however, as they are differentiated from Judah; you'll see.
Peace.

The 12 Lost Tribes is a myth

Somewhere in the books of the Kings and/or Chronicles it's recorded that when Jeroboam replaced Jehovah worship that many from the 10 northern tribes immigrated to Judah, because Jeroboam built fortresses on the border to prevent the exodus. So the 10 tribes weren't lost. Judah consisted of members of all 12 tribes.

Also James in the NT opens his epistle with a greeting to the 12 tribes of Israel. So even in the time right after Jesus, the 12 tribes were identified.

There is nonsuch thing as Lost Tribes of Israel.

Arnold Murray... I like the way he teaches.
He believes Serpent Seed, whatevah that is.

Being that America is a "melting pot" of all races, creeds and cultures, I would not think that we would be considered the lost tribe of Manasseh. I have heard this myself many years ago.

Some people think we resemble Mystery Babylon more than Manasseh.

I have heard of the "lost" tribes of Israel, which possibly happened after the destruction of Jerusalem when all the Jews were scattered. I have not delved into it deeply myself.

Amos 9:9
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

Jeremiah 46:28
Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, for I am with you," declares the LORD. "Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only with justice; I will not let you go entirely unpunished."

Just a thought!

I believe the current Jewish people are representative of all 12 tribes. There's no way of proving it, but the scriptures I posted are evidence that even after the Assyrian captivity, Judah contained all 12 tribes. "Jew" is short for Judah. This is the name they identified with after Judah and Israel divided. In the end it doesn't matter. The promises granted to Abraham were to his decedents regardless of tribe.

The notion that Europeans are the decendents of the so-called lost tribes is looney history. It's rooted in white-supremacist, pseudo-Christian, neo-Nazi propaganda. It's nonsense.
