Mary,
 
The scriptures Prove that this is the case! We, the caucasion peoples of the United States, that migrated from the Middle East, to the lands of Europe, Great Britain, and then on to America, are of the lost 10 tribes of "The House of Israel". I know! This is not commonly excepted knowledge, but it is scriptural! Seek and ye shall find! The Lord has put it in his word for us to find, but like alot of the TRUTH, it has been overlooked and just plain not understood. But if you pray about it and ask for understanding, and Wisdom, he will reveal the TRUTH to all who ask of him.  
 
We have to go back to the book of Genesis to start our journey. And starting with the Covenant that God made with Abraham. He passed it to Isaac, it then went to Jacob...whose name was changed, by God, to Israel. In chapter 48, upon his death bed, Israel (Jacob) passes on the birthright blessing to Joseph's 2 sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. It would normally go to the first born, but Reuben defiled his fathers bed...49:4, and IChronicles 5:2...For Judah prevailed above his brothren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's: Israel said that his name was to be named on the lads. Ephraim was to become a "multitude of nations". Manasseh was to become a great nation and both were to be blessed with a multitude of people, called ISRAEL. Genesis 49...And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you (in the last days). 2. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 49:22....Josephs blessings continue verses 23, 24, 25, & 26 (and one can surely see that Joseph's seed was to be helped by the God of his father and by the Almighty, who will bless him with the blessings of heaven above, blessing of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breast and of the womb),............26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was seperate from his brothren.
 
To summarize....Genesis 49: 10.....The SCEPTRE....(the royal kingship) shall be with the seed of JUDAH. Shiloh (the messiah) shall come from this tribe. The slang for the people of JUDAH is JEW. They were called Jews. The people of the tribes of Reuben and Levi
were also of this group of people that inhabitted the SOUTHERN KINGDOM of the 12 tribes of ancient Israel.
 
This is where it gets interesting!
 
The BIRTHRIGHT went to Joseph, which in turn was given to his two young sons Ephraim and Manasseh! A birthright conveys MATERIAL WEALTH and NATIONAL Prominence to its heirs. The promise of the SCEPTRE went to Judah or the Jews.
 
THESE 2 BLESSINGS WERE SPLIT UP BETWEEN Joseph and Judah! Notice that! The NORTHERN KINGDOM of THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL had the birthright given to them. The SOUTHERN KINGDOM had the promise of the messiah through them!
 
In I Kings; 11: 9.....we read where the LORD was angry with Solomon for worshiping other gods
 
11: 9.....And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
10....And he commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
11.....Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
 
11: 30.........And A-hijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in 12 pieces:
 
11:31........And he said to Jeroboam, take thee 10 pieces: for thus sayeth the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give 10 tribes to thee:
11:32.......(But he shall have 1 tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalems sake, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
11:33.......Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
 
This is where they were SEPERATED into: the Nation of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah!
 
11:37.....And I will take thee, and thou shall reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shall be king over Israel.
 
Jeroboam became king of ISRAEL and Rehoboam became king of Judah! Later on, God plucked up Israel and they were taken captive to the North because Jeroboam was worshipping Idols. Judah stayed in Jerusalem. The Lost 10 tribes are not JEWISH! They never inheritted the land of milk and honey, have not been blessed by Almighty God with the birthright riches, did not become a Great nation or a Multitude of nations. The reason that America and the British common wealth are experiencing the 9 HARBINGERS, so to speak, is because WE are Manasseh of the Bible. WE ARE one of THE 2 MOST Prominent tribes of THE LOST 10 TRIBES OF ISRAEL! The United States is Manasseh and Great Britain is Ephraim. For more proof read II Kings chapter 16: 1-6.....AHAZ, the king of Judah was at war with Rezin, king of Syria & Remaliah, king of Israel! The Jews were at war with the Nation of Israel!
 
Micah 7: 20...Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
 
Micah 5: 7....And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8........And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9........Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
10......
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
11.....And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
12.....And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13.....Thy graven images also I will cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14.....And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
15.....And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
 
Is it coincidence that we are the people of the BIBLE? Or believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God? Or that we have a kinship with the Jewish peoples and an apparent concern for their well being? No, I don't think it is. And we are seeing what is happening before our eyes, to our country as it unravels. The Lord has been taken out of our Public domain and replaced with materialism. Our families are being desecrated, by the indoctrination of Communism, Marxism, and other such Godless nonsense.
 
Yes, I believe we are under judgment!
