This 10 lost tribes thing has been peddled by among others, Herbert W. Armstrong of the Worldwide Church of God as British-Israelism ( the Brits are mostly descendants of the 10 lost tribes ).

Adter Armstrong's death, control passed to a new Pastor General, Joseph W. Tkatch. His son, Joseph W Tkatch Jr, in turn, succeeded his father in 1995.

The Tkatchs instituted a program to abandon many of the non-orthodox beliefs and practices of this church.

They brought the denomination into alignment with other conservative Christian churches.

Church membership dropped from its peak of about 150,000 members in 1986. In the US, its membership slid from 1986 to 1996 from about 89,000 to 49,000, largely because of this shift.

I don't think they teach British-Israelism any longer.

There's still a fair bit of support for it among the white-supremacists.

After being a careful student of the Bible for the past twenty years and walking in the light the Father has revealed I have learned many things.

1. The enemy, Satan, is the father of religion. He loves religion which keeps man from relationship with the Father.

2. Into each "fringe" group outside of mainline Protestantism Satan buried truths that he has known since the garden. The Mormons, WWCG, British Israelism etc. all have the truth of the ten lost tribes. Therefore mainline denominations stayed far and aways from these truths of the House of Israel and the House of Judah being restored by the Messiah as the end time plan of YHVH.

Keep seeking truth and not man's doctrines or traditions and it will all make sense.

P.S. There are hundreds of thousands of lost tribe members who do not belong to any "church" who have an understanding of these truths.
