The Lost Tribes Of Israel - Page 3

I have done lots of research on the lost ten tribes, and have come up with a theory that I think explains all of this about why people from Russia are getting blessings like these. The ancient records that show where the ten tribes ended up after the time that they were taken captive to Assyria and the cities of the Medes answers these questions.
The short answer is, the main body never left and are still in that region.

I agree. They went to the North Countries. Besides that, there have already been some gathering happening among others in the rest of the world, especially in the tribe of Dan, according to my reading.

I always believed that the lost 10 tribes of Israel were a literal people hidden from us to come forth at a future time. Recently I have read in a book and article online that this concept is mere a mormon myth. That these tribes are among us and the gathering is done by missionary work and baptism into the church. I was left pretty confused and with many questions. My support for my belief are the following. 1: The resurrected Savior told the nephites he was going to visit the lost tribes. We have no history or account of this visit. 2: Doctrine & covenants 133 speaks of the lost tribe returning from the northern countries and that their prophets would smite the ice create a sort of highway. 3: Joseph Smith in modern revelation saw that John the Beloved was sent to teach to the lost tribes. 4: I forget what book. Articles of faith? Elder Talmage explains how in the apocrypha it talks how during the captivity to Babylon a group escaped and decided to head north to another country to start over and serve the Lord.
I'm curious now to know what is every one else's opinion? or any statements with the churches official stance?

While I don't have any proof of this, I have always felt it would (or could) be a combination of the two methods of gathering. There very well may be a people hidden from us. The other gathering through missionary work is already occurring.

I'll have to look into it a bit further....

Hidden from us in what way? If you are adopting all walks of life into tribes via baptism then that is hidden from the world, not so?

It means the same thing in Russia as it does in the states.. When the Patriarch receives revelation for you he tells you which of the 2 tribes of the house of Joseph who was brother of Benjamin who had his own tribe. The tribes take the name of Joseph's sons Manasseh or Ephraim. We believe in a restoration of this linage. The current Jews believe them self to be descendants of the house of Judah. Lehi was from the tribe of Manasseh. In 2 Nephi 3 Lehi stated that there would be a latter-day Prophet named Joseph and he would descend from the house of Joseph. (and his father would also be named Joseph) We of course believe this prophecy to be filled in Joseph Smith and thus a restoration of those 2 tribes specifically occurred. Our view of the spirit world and pre-existence leads us to come to the conclusion that God reserved those spirits who would hear the restored gospel and through revelation revealed that we are part of the lost tribes of Israel.

We should probably keep in mind that, technically, Ephraim is a lost tribe. Thus the teaching that the Doctrine & Covenants is a book from the lost tribes.

John Taylor in Mediation & Atonement said that there are enough lost tribes on the earth to fill the requirement for 12,000 from each tribe as required in the Book of Revelation to make up the 144,000.

I also believe that the greater part of the lost tribes are in space. They will return as parts of the earth return, such as the city of Enoch. At this time the ice will flow down at their presence, and they will march, led by Joseph Smith to conquer the enemies of the Lord's people.

For the Outer Space theories, see The Footstool of God by Rodney Turner, among other great sources.

I'm excited to see the signs of the times being fulfilled, such as the finding of the lost tribes. Bring it on!

Do you happen to remember what book you read this in (or article)? The reason I ask is because I had the same experience and was puzzled by it but then must of forgot until I was reading the thread and came across your post.

I would like to re-read it after reading this thread and see if anything new is there that I didn't see before.
