History

Historical and Prophetic Overview

Scripture and history confirm that ALL twelve tribes were taken into captivity by the Assyrians with the exception of a small remnant of the tribes of Yahudah, Benjamin and Levi that were living in the environs of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). This remnant was later taken into the Babylonian captivity.

To obtain perspective, we must look at the big picture. The prophetical overview can be summed up very briefly as noted below. Please note that "Israel" refers to ALL twelve tribes not just the tribe of Yahudah (Judah).

The Migrations of the Israelite Twelve Tribes

One of the most fascinating historical studies is on the captivity, dispersion and migrations of the Israelite twelve tribes from the Israel/Judah Kingdoms into Assyria/Persia through the Caucasian mountains into Europe and beyond. Here are some recommended books and podcasts:

Israel's Migrations Series A series of slide show presentations illustrating Israel's migrations. This was created by Eli James of the Anglo-Saxon Israel web site.

The Abrahamic Covenant This outline of the identity of God's people as revealed in this study of God's Covenant with Abraham was compiled as a guide for Bible students. Traces Abraham's descendants through the formation of the Tribes of Israel their captivities and migration to their appointed land in Europe and later on to America (with Ephraim identified with England and Manasseh with America).

Missing Links Discovered In Assyrian Tablets Could you be an Israelite and not know it? "Here's a paradox a most ingenious paradox: an anthropological fact many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors." -Alfred M. Lilienthal. Could this possibly be so? If so it would mean that the majority of Christendom and the rest of society has misidentified the people most prominent in the Bible. If Israel has been misidentified there is no doubt that major errors in doctrinal interpretation and application of biblical prophecy have been made! Take a look at a truly remarkable study of Assyrian tablets that reveal the fate of the Lost Tribes of Israel. This is the book considered by most to be Capt's finest of all his vast and excellent literary achievements!

The Assyrian Invasions And Deportations Of Israel A study outline of the four invasions of Israel by the Assyrians followed by the three groups of aliens resettled in the land of Samaria. The Scriptural record of the invasions is examined together with the testimony of the monuments containing inscriptions of the deportations of Israel by the Assyrian kings. These cuneiform inscriptions may be seen in the British Museum and they only confirm the Scriptures and in no way contradict them. Special attention is given to Hosea's and Isaiah's prophecies telling of the captivity of Israel.
