From Luke Chapter 2
33 And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.

34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed--

35 and a sword will pierce even your own soul--to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."

36 And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher She was advanced in years (AI)and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,

37 and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers.

38 At that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

ASHER. One of the northern Ten Tribes, correct?

So, they were still represented in Israel during the earthly sojourn of the Saviour. Also in Acts 2.

Not “lost.” The tribes had been scattered, but not “lost.” which is really the point of the original post.

Just to jump in here. During the
Assyrian invasion there were people from each tribe who ran to the South into Judea for protection. So yes, there were Asherites, Gadites, Ephriamites etc. but the bulk of the people were carried off and assimilated into the Gentile world. They lost their identity just as Yahweh said they would in the book of Hosea. That was part of their punishment. It was Yahshua’s primary purpose to come to this world to REGATHER the house of Israel and restore the Kingdom of Israel. What was the apostles last question to Yahshua before He ascended? When are you going to RESTORE
the Kingdom of Israel? and what did Yahshua answer?

(Acts 1:7 KJV) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

These are the times of Restoration. We are being given back our identity. We are being shown the paganism that infiltrated our Faith. We are going back to the Scriptures of the entire Bible to rediscover the Truths that the Father wants us to walk in. Today the call of Eliyah is going out make STRAIGHT your paths, the Messiah of ISRAEL returns. I fear the holy Scriptures far more than any doctrine of man.
