Don't waste your time with this nonsense folks.   Let Mr. Black
believe this idiocy if he wants.

God gave that land to the Jews, period.   All of it.   From the Gulf of
Aqaba to the Golan Heights, from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank.

Every time you hear a long-winded discussion about the REAL
borders of Israel or whether today's Israelites are the REAL Jews,
just hang up the phone.

Conspiracy theorists perpetually have their shorts in a twist about
these two subjects.

By the way, Mr. LostTribe, your guru, Gene Scott, is a certified
loon.   I suggest torching his pamphlets and reading the Bible instead.

Wishful thinking, like wishing you had won the lottery. A detachment from reality.

No Israelites were called "Jews" until well after the collapse of the original Davidic Kingdom of Israel and formation of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms in about 922 BC. Many scholars place the earliest date of actual word usage ~500 BC, following the return of the Southern Kingdom from Bablyon. Those ~50,000 Jews were Israelites, but only a tiny number of the Millions of Israelites were called Jews. While the numbers are relatively small, the distinction is a major one.

Thanks, so Gene Scott is where LostTribe gets his "teachings". Scott is....strange. I watched him a few times years ago and during his constant appeals for money, he kept showing clips of his expensive race horses that your money helped support. Kept rambling on about the importance of his teachings, which were off the wall to put it mildly. Only those that study his teachings truly know what's going on, etc. I haven't watched that charlatan in years, a few times was enough.

Thanks for your comments. Could someone provide a link that shows the boundaries mentioned in the Bible superimposed on a current map of the Middle East. That's actually what I was looking for.

I did watch Gene Scott way back when. It was my opinion that the man had a serious drinking problem. Sometime's he be drinking on his shows. Sometimes he'd look like he was coming off a bad drunk. I honesty thought it was a parody for a long time. But it wasn't, which is sad.

I don't see the lost tribes as a particularly interesting or important part of the story ... sorry to the fellow who posted all this stuff. Thanks anyway.
