Steven M Collins has written a superb historical account of the little known
whereabouts of the lost ten tribes. The central thesis is that the tribes have never really been "lost." After the glorious reign of king Solomon, his son Rehoboam took the throne and caused a split in the empire due to his own youthful arrogance and pride. The Kingdom of Judah with its capital of Jerusalem stayed loyal to Rehoboam along with Benjamin and much of Levi (who later came into the kingdom) and the other ten tribes set up their own king and created a new kingdom. The Assyrians later conquered the
what was from that time known as "Israel", the northern kingdom and took some of the ten tribes away into captivity, but the majority of them fled into the black seas regions known eventually as Scythia. Collins documents very carefully and expertly how the Sythians were the lost tribes and how they later came to be known as the Parthians that
ruled across the Euphrates river from Roman occupied territory. The Great Parthian empire withstood the Romans in battle after battle until their
kingdom weakened as a result of the Persian onslaught and their
anti-Semitic religious campaigns. The Lost tribes were later identified as the Goths, Saxons, Visigoths, Heruli, etc who were in conflict with the Roman empire and eventually broke her state power over Europe. The final destination of these various tribes are identified as modern nations. The book also includes an alternate view of the life of Messiah during 18 years of His life that is unaccounted for in the
gospels. It talks about how it was probable that the Messiah visited foreign lands including the Americas where many of the lost tribes had migrated (Carthage and
Phoenician pathways). For those wishing to understand the mystery of the migrations of the lost tribes and how they are
relevant and in line to fulfill prophecy in these latter days, reading this book will enrich you and bless you beyond measure.
