Question: Where are the ancient tribes of Israel (descendants of Jacob/Israel) located today in this 21st. century?

Answer: When Israel split into two different nations after the reign of King Solomon, ten of the twelve tribes of Israelites formed the northern kingdom called the "House of Israel". In 745-721 B.C. their nation was overthrown and carried off by Assyria. Later, after the power of the Assyrians was broken they scattered and eventually moved west. They today, make up the Christian nations of western Europe, the isles of Britain, and the Americas.  Many of these people have indeed become Christians.

  Are you a Israelite? Be thoughtful before you answer. (Maybe you only think you're a Gentile!)
and Live Link to->>  "Israel's Lost Tribes" 

The book of James, written by James, the brother of Jesus, in A.D. 45-50, addresses his book to the all twelve tribes scattered abroad with no mention of any of them as Jews.

James knew what happened to them.  James 1:1  James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

The book of Revelation, written by John the apostle, by the revelation of Jesus Christ, in A.D. 95 refers to some who claim to be Jews but are not in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.

Also see   Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed; and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
In Revelation 7:5-8 we are told that 12.000 from each tribe of Israel are to become sealed servants of God in their foreheads in the end times.


Read the running line below. God is replacing the stony heart in many of us, from those 12 tribes of Israelites, and we've become Christians. He's doing it through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (giving many of us a new heart, making us true Christians).

Now read and think about this > Romans 11:26  And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written,  There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

I have another another Question: Does all in verse 26 literally mean all of us, the descendants of Jacob/Israel,  will be saved, as in everyone of us, before this earth age ends? Will all of us be saved for all of eternity?

  Ezekiel 36:16 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, (verse 17) Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. (verse 18) Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: (verse 19) And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. (verse 20) And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. (verse 21) But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. (verse 22) Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. (verse 23) And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned amongst the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. (verse 24) For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. /-/ in Europe and America /-/ (verse 25) Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. (verse 26) A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. (verse 27) And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. (verse 28) And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. (verse 29) I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. (verse 30) And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. (verse 31) Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. (verse 32) Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. (verse 33) Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. (verse 34) And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. (verse 35) And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. (verse 36) Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. (verse 37) Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. (verse 38) As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD. /-/ HE GAVE MANY OF THEM A NEW HEART AND THEY BECAME CHRISTIANS /-/  

What happened to the remainder of those Israelites from the "House of Judah", those Jews (of Judah) living in Jerusalem?

Note: Also after the reign of King Solomon when Israel split into two different nations, two of the tribes of Israelites, Judah and Benjamin, who formed the "House of Judah" the southern kingdom became known as Jews. They were called Jews in the Bible, most likely, because the tribe of Judah was the larger of the two.

The remaining folks from "The House of Judah", those living in Jerusalem, were also overthrown 135 years later, but by Babylon not Assyria, and carried off to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzor. While in Babylon they were infiltrated by strangers, descendants of Cain, who also were later called Jews while living with Jews of Judah in Babylon (these are the people refered to in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9).

Revelation 2:9  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan

Revelation 3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

These people are now all mixed together and are living in that little country in the middle east that is called Israel today. It is made up of both the good Jews, descendants of Judah, and the bad Jews, descendants of Cain, who had infiltrated their ranks.
