HHMI~ What the Rabbis Teach About Ten Tribes ~ Pt 3 ~ Exiles of the Southern Kingdom

Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem. Ezra 1:2,5 What tribes returned during the time of the second temple? When Ezra and Nehemiah led the exiles back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple, which tribes returned? Have all 12 tribes already been reunited? Or is this a prophecy that is yet unfulfilled? Eddie covers what the historical Jewish scholars of Torah have to say about this. Let’s summarize: *the Ten tribes of the north were assimilated into the nations of the world as lost their tribal identity *The Ten tribes did not follow the Torah and would eat unclean food in the nations where they were scattered. *A minority of the Ten tribes are living with the House of Judah today. *There has not been a reunification of the 10 tribes with Judah yet. *The future reunification of the 10 tribes with Judah will happen during the time known as “Jacob’s trouble”, during the end of days. *It is the role, task, and function of the Messiah to gather and unite all 12 tribes of Israel.
