The Ten ‘Lost’ Tribes Weren’t Lost

The phrase the lost tribes of Israel emits a certain ring of mystery that romanticizes the disappearance of the Israelites taken captive by Assyria in 722 B.C. Although the phrase is nowhere in Scripture, it is indispensable to a false teaching known as British-Israelism. British-Israelism, or Anglo-Israelism, came into existence more than 150 years ago.

  1. This is another one of those fallacies that I heard of growing up in the church as a christian. I have learned to discount some of what I remember by going to the word myself. This is not the first article that I have read on the subject but it is so well done. Thank you. I especially appreciate the historical reference of the British element. I imagine that the British were not the first to think this throughout history but it certainly gives credible evidence to why it is such a popular misconception in Western thinking. Another is the name change conversion of Saul/Paul. It is clear that he did not change his name at conversion as was commonly taught in Sunday school.

  2. Just to make you aware of a typo on the web page “The Ten ‘Lost’ Tribes Weren’t Lost”. The reference to God on line 520 in the page code is misspelled appearing as “Goo”.
    I am in total agreement with the article and find it most enlightening.
    Thank you,

  3. Other so-called “lost tribes” are given prominence in the New Testament besides Anna of Asher. John the Baptist and his parents were Levites and Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin. Hence just as Mr. McQuaid writes, there are and never been any lost tribes of Israel. God whose eyes are always wide open knows where to regather them from and He has always maintained a remnant of all 12 tribes in Israel. We even have the prophesied 144,000 from the 12 tribes saved after the rapture proclaiming the eternal gospel in the Tribulation. Another counterfeit group lays claim to being the lost 10 tribes, the mormons. They have declared Independence, MO to be the New Jerusalem. So tragic, a whole group of lost souls under the anathema of Galatians 1:6-9
