The 10 Lost Tribes of Israel - Are They Really Lost?

After Assyria's brutal invasion, the 10 northern tribes of Israel were exiled and scattered among the nations. Over the years, many groups have claimed to be descended from the lost tribes of Israel; however, the Bible does not use that phrase. In this video, Biblical archeologist Joel Kramer helps to explain both biblically and historically why they are the "not-so-lost tribes of Israel."

Seeing the wall of Nineveh in person was an incredible sight. In 2004 I was in Mosul as an Infantryman and I was blessed to see many things in the bible. Before ISIS destroyed it, I was able to see Jonah's burial site as well. I was able to see Babylon on my second deployment and the tower of Samarra. It's a soul shaking event to see these things in person when you read about them in church as a child.

It's so nice to find a christain archaeologist these days that can prove the Bible. May God continue to bless your work. 🙏🙏🙏

[mikehenson]

I love the way you present the Biblical narrative and the historical evidence together to Prove the validity of God's Word. It's truly gentle, and simply beautiful. Lord bless you!

I watched this months ago and it absolutely rattled me. I watched it again, and then a third time with my husband - he was also shaken. The idea that these kinds of events actually happened, or even could have happened, was never taught to me in my Christian upbringing. I used to think most "bible stories" were poetic and allegorical; inspired and without error, but usually not historical. Thank you for correcting this assumption and bringing an entire new dimension to my faith, you've started me on a journey. I logged into YT on my computer just to find the video and comment, since I couldn't thank you from our TV. Thank you!!

I’m loving these broadcasts. Aren’t we blessed to have free, unbiased education at our fingertips? It is amazing how much proof of truth is suppressed. Thank you sir.

[manYAWEH]

God has surely gifted you with a profund enthusiasm that only a child with a passion for Christ could tell. Keep up the great biblical stories and thank you doing the leg work. You are amazing. God bless.

This channel has been beyond interesting. It's encouraging and strengthens believers foundations of faith and hope. Well presented. Much gratitude.

Thought-provoking and excellent points. Luke 2 also comes to mind: The prophetess, Anna (in Jerusalem at the Temple when Jesus was 8 days old), was recorded as coming from the tribe of Asher. If the tribe was lost, how would it be known she was of Asher? These verses surely underscore your historical narrative/thesis. Thank you for your work.

I am learning so much Bible from your videos. You have such good knowledge of metaphors used in the Bible! It all makes sense! Please keep bringing more videos! I love learning from these videos

[MrChuck]

I taught this at Church about a year ago. My pastor let me take the pulpit. He was surprised by my teaching. However, you have given me some more archeological information that I will incorporate into the teaching thanks and Blessings.

It was such a visual of Jesus when the shepherd was sitting in the doorway; being the door! The Only Way the sheep can get to the Shepherd is through the narrow way! 💙

[ruaridhmunro]

I appreciate your work a lot bro! There’s something so special about bringing the bible to life through archeology. Sending support from Scotland.

What can be lost to man is never lost to God

[dorotapilarczyk]

Dziękuję za ten wspaniały kanał który bardziej mnie zachęcił do czytania biblii i poznawania historii. Dziękuję za odwagę w prowadzeniu tego kanału. Odważnych ludzi, którzy by odważnie mówili o Bogu jest tak mało nawet w internecie. jestem pod wielkim wrażeniam. Gratuluje kanału. Chciałam tylko dopowiedzieć że Jezus zgromadził przy sobie 12 apostołów którzy reprezentowali 12 pokoleń Izraela więc w czasach Jezusa te pokolenia istniały i teraz są.

Josephus, in the first century: "the whole people of Israel remained in that land [of exile], so it came about that only two tribes returned to Asia and Europe and are subject to the Romans. But the ten tribes are still beyond the Euphrates River and are a boundless multitude too great to number” (Antiq. 11.133).

[kindcounselor]

I'm studying the Bible every day this year. Your videos are an AMAZING adjunct to this! Thank you so very much.

[peach]

I just discovered this channel and I am so thankful for it.❤

[patmo]

I’m grateful to God personally for what He did there, because my ancestors were likely among those rescued. I’m now a follower of Jesus Christ. God’s Word and the history of the region have taken on a whole new meaning. Thanks for what you do.

[phionaachieng]

For the longest time i have been yes a Christian because i grew up in a church you know. But on reaching 20 years I started having soo many questions about God and Jesus. Today coming upon this channel has not only helped me to know the truth on my believe but has also encouraged me to read the Bibble and try to understand it better on my own and not from what I'm being preached upon by people to avoid all the confusions i had from different interpretations. THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS WORK MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOU HAVE JUST SAVED A SOUL

The “not-so lost” tribes were so well known that the Apostles went to them and converted them to Christianity. The lost tribes were the first non-Judeans to convert.
