Lost Jewish Tribe Heads Home

This is another amazing story of prophetic fulfillment that adds to our confidence that we are, in deed, drawing close to the VERY last days.

One of the lost 10 tribes that were overthrown and hauled away by Assyria 700 years before Christ...are returning to the Promised Land. What was lost now is found.

"This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel." Ezekiel 37:21

About 1,700 members of the Bnei Menashe tribe — the Sons of Manasseh, one of the original 12 biblical tribes of Israel — have migrated to Israel, completing what they believe is an extraordinary, 2,700-year exile that took them from the Middle East seven centuries before the Christian era, through Afghanistan, China, Burma and India, before they heard that a new state of Israel had been created 62 years ago.

According to Bnei Menashe lore, the tribe escaped from Assyrian slavery and headed east, through Ancient Persia, Afghanistan and Tibet, to settle for a time in China, where they were once again persecuted and expelled in about AD100. From there, they trickled in smaller groups into South-East Asia, where they remained until this day.

It was only when the state of Israel was created in 1948 that some of the Bnei Menashe began to believe they were descended from Ancient Israelites and started dreaming of return. That process accelerated when one of their members had a vision instructing him to lead his people back to the land of their ancestors, whom he judged to be original Israelites.

Joel 2:28 speaks of the Day of the Lord when he says, "...your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions."

OK....this story is simply amazing. If we, who claim to be followers of Christ, can't see that God is doing supernatural things with HIS people....at the same time there are daily earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars, collapsing financial systems, etc...we must be sound asleep! Or even worse, we are simply being rebellious and REFUSING to hear the alarm clock of God.

I really don't have much knowledge on that...but I do know you can read Isaiah 11:11-12, Zechariah 8:4-8 to hear about the ragathering of Jews to Israel.

Of course, it won't be totally fulfilled until Christ returns and by then 2/3 of the Jews will have been wiped out by Antichrist...Revelation 12:13-17 and Zechariah 13:8-9
