The Lost 10 Tribes in Rabbinic Literature

If you’re a One-Houser (someone who doesn’t accept the Two-House reality), then put on your seat belt because the incoming article is going to rip the cover off of your One-House paradigm better than any other you’ve scrutinized. Will the Lost Tribes Return? An Analysis of the Lost Tribes in Rabbinic Literature by Dennis Jones.

A brief segment of the article…

Have you ever asked yourself, “Will the Lost Tribes return?” It is a question which should be taken seriously by every student of the Bible. And yet, unfortunately, it is a question that does not even arise in the minds of millions of individuals who claim to believe the Bible and who claim to follow the Biblical faith. It is not that the term, “Lost Tribes,” is unknown. On the contrary, in the English speaking world, in particular, it has become widely known, having been bandied about in various book titles, newspaper and magazine articles, and even championed by some popular and not so popular religious groups. The tragedy is, however, that the vast majority of those who are familiar with the concept of the “Lost Tribes of Israel” have not taken it the least bit seriously. Instead, they have summarily relegated the subject of the Lost Tribes to the status of legend, fable or fantasy, without so much as a cursory investigation of the possible truth of the matter in Biblical and historical sources.

Now, these are not ignorant people; in fact, just the opposite. These individuals have excelled in various fields, from science, to mathematics, to social sciences, to history, and even including religion. Many have a fair to above average knowledge in all of these disciplines. One must wonder why so many relatively learned individuals, particularly those associated with one of the major religions associated with the Bible—Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism—have remained ignorant of the facts concerning the Lost Tribes of Israel. Is it that the idea of Lost Tribes does not have a solid Biblical and historical foundation? Or is it that the existence of lost Israelites is theologically irrelevant? Does the possible existence of several hundred million descendants of Jacob, who are currently unaware of their identity, but who may in the near future return to the God of Israel, to His Torah/Law as the standard of living, and to a close relationship with the Jewish people, not have a significant bearing on current beliefs and future social and political developments? Indeed, it will become obvious in the very near future that those who have brushed aside the vital topic of the Lost Tribes of Israel, without even an investigation, have made a grave mistake.

Fortunately, the situation is rapidly changing. Read full article…

Things “One-Housers” hope You never find out!

If you don’t already know, a “One-Houser” is someone who denies that there remains a Two House/Two Kingdom reality of Israel in modern times. They view “the Jews” as exclusively representing all 12 tribes of Israel. Their world-view/paradigm is basically opposite to that of a “Two-Houser”, which is better defined here: Two House Theology (Reality) defined and defended.

So here are some things “One-Housers” hope you never find out (you’ll rarely ever hear them mention these things when they accuse Two-Housers of “lies”, “error”, “heresy”, and/or “bad exegesis“):

Please Note: “Two-Housers” will one day be “One-Housers” also, but that transition will only take place after the-Anointed Son of David (Ha-Mashaikh ben Dawid) unites both Houses into One House, or One Stick as Ezekiel 37 prophesies He will do in the Last Days. We are in the Last Days, so that transition and this battle of world-views will be over SOON! Halleluyah!!

Can Ephraim love Yehudah (Jew-dah), but dislike their Rabbinic system?

YES! Yes, they can!

Except, much of Ephraim (10-Israel) doesn’t know the difference between WRITTEN Torah and Rabbinic Halakha, so Ephraim has frequently and historically found themselves literally throwing “the baby out with the bath water”. How many times have Ephraimite nations exiled Judah from their countries? Martin Luther is a prime example of an Ephraimite who first reached out to the Jewish people, but increasingly became enraged by the Talmud and rabbinic resistance to the Messiah (if you read and compare his earlier writings with his later, you’ll notice the progression of anger).

On the flipside, Ephraim has largely not known who they are for roughly 2700 to 2000 years, but are now awakening to their identity, but ironically, Judah (the Jews) won’t allow Ephraim to enter modern Israel because Ephraim will largely not accept Judah’s Rabbinic System nor reject their Messiah. Even so… the Prophets say Ephraim will return. And all the more, it looks like Judah needs Ephraim to return. And it is fascinating that much of Protestant 10-Israel expresses the desire to fight with Judah against her enemies. Yet the enemies of Ephraim and Judah are largely found within… compounding the problems on both sides.

Seems we’re at a bit of an impasse. And interestingly, יהוה is brought the most honor and esteem when Jacob is at an impasse, because יהוה is the One to bring the solution and/or deliverance.

Where is Eliyahu, the Prophet of יהוה when you need him?

Yahweh, Y’hovah, or Ineffable?

Was Yeshua (Jesus) a Pharisee?

Nehemia Gordon writes: “A recent review of my book The Hebrew Yeshua vs. the Greek Jesus claims that Yeshua did in fact support the “god-given” authority of the Pharisees who sit in the Seat of Moses. One of the main claims in the review was that Yeshua upheld the Pharisee Oral Law. This is a common argument put forward by Oral Law-believing Messianics.”
