John 1:11 states that “Yahshua came to His own, and His own received Him not.”

We know that in Matthew the 28th chapter He told His disciples;

Mat 28:18-20 And coming up Yahshua talked with them, saying, All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me. Then having gone, disciple all nations, baptizing them into the Name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age. Amen.

At this point, most wrongly assume that, because of Judah’s rejection of Yahshua, Yahweh began a new covenant with the Gentiles. This idea is nowhere in Scripture, and this chapter will prove that theory to be false.

First of all, we have already proven that Yahweh only made covenant with the nation of Israel; with no other nation or people did He make covenant.

Amos 3:2a You only have I known of all the families of the earth.

Also, you must remember that,  if Yahshua came to earth to redeem Israel because of the serious covenant agreement they had broken, then it would also stand to reason that He would have to save all Israel, not just one tribe (Judah). When Yahshua started His ministry in 27 AD, only Judah had come back to the land of Israel to that point. Judah went into captivity from 605-572 BC and started to come back to the land of Israel in 539 BC. They then built the second temple of Zerubbabel  while they were under the control of the Persian Empire. This was followed by the Greek empire, then the Roman empire of the first century. So up until the time of Yahshua’s ministry, only Judah had come back to the land. Though there are traces of the tribe of Benjamin and part of the tribe of Levi that also blended in with Judah, those living in Israel in the first century were primarily Jews. There were small remnants of the Northern tribes that had migrated to Judah during King Jehoshaphat’s reign, but these were still relatively small in number compared to the full number of Israelites from the north.

As we have shown in a previous chapter, the Northern house of Israel, called the House of Ephraim, went into captivity in the Assyrian Empire, and from there migrated all over the world but never returned to the land of Israel, even until today.

So, when Yahshua was commissioning His disciples to go throughout all the world making disciples, He was doing so to bring the good news message that He had brought to Judah, to Ephraim also, to the rest of  the tribes of Israel. There were two houses of Israel. One was the northern 10 tribes, or the house of Joseph, or Ephraim, and the other was the house of Judah, or the Jews. From the Scripture in John 1:11, we have just seen that when Yahshua had His earthly ministry, it was only to the house of Judah, who basically rejected it. So, it is only logical that He would send His disciples not to Gentiles, who had no covenant relationship, or punishment coming, but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. This is exactly what He did.

Mat 10:5-7 Yahshua sent these twelve out, charging them, saying: Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not go into a Samaritan city. But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going on, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of Heaven has drawn near.

This is not to say that a Gentile could not join himself to the one tree of Israel, entering into the covenant of Israel. Because of the casting away of Israel, it gave a great opportunity to Gentiles worldwide. Before Yahshua’s commission to the 12 to go“into all the world seeking the lost sheep of Israel,” a Gentile would never have had the opportunity to find out about the true Elohim of Israel unless he lived in Israel and joined himself to the covenant of Israel. Now that the Apostles were going worldwide to seek their brothers, the lost tribes of Israel, any person of any race, or color could also hear the good-news message and join the covenant of Israel, if he was sincere.

Act 10:34-36 And opening his mouth, Peter said, Truly I see that Elohim is not a respecter  of persons, but in every nation the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him. The Word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the gospel of peace through Yahshua Messiah, this One is Master of all.

Peter saw that the word that had come to Israel was now open to all mankind, if they chose to join the covenant of Israel. Some have mistaken the message of the two Houses of Israel, to be saying that salvation is only available to a blood-born Israelite. This could not be further from the truth. The point to understanding the two Houses of Israel is to understand the plan our Heavenly Father is working out today, recalling His covenant people Israel. It is to show that replacement theology is a lie of Satan to hide the truth of Yahweh, and to show that the words and laws of Yahweh are pertinent to us today as believers since we are Israelites and part of the seed of Abraham. But in no way is this message meant to be exclusive to any one group of  people, or meant to exclude anyone from Yahweh’s covenant. But make no mistake! If you are a Gentile who is trying to join himself to Yahweh through a covenant  relationship, there is only one way to do it, through the covenant of  the House of Israel, through Abraham our forefather. A Gentile must join the one tree of Israel, rather than making Yahweh into a gentile “god.”

It is very important to note here that this is why all true believers today should be keeping the Feasts of Yahweh outlined in Leviticus the 23rd chapter, and not Christmas and Easter, which are pagan holidays. The early congregation never kept Christmas or Easter in the days of the Apostles, but it was later blended into the faith by pagan gentile rulers such as Constantine, the Emperor of Rome. Please write for our free book, “The Great Falling Away,” for full details on this changeover.

Salvation was opened to Gentiles by the falling away of Israel, but Yahweh our Elohim never changed.

Rom 11:11 I say, then, Did  not they stumble that they fall? Let it not be! But by their slipping away came salvation to the nations, to provoke them to jealousy.

The point of allowing Gentiles into the covenant was meant by Yahweh to provoke Israel to jealousy. When Gentile Christians go to Orthodox Jews and falsely tell them to “accept Jesus” so that they can eat pork, break the Sabbath, and not have to keep that “evil” law of Yahweh, it is not doing any benefit to anyone. I have been able to witness to many Jews in Israel and even immerse (baptize) some. What has won their respect is my love of the Torah, and my respect for all the words of Yahweh.

We will discuss more about the Gentiles’ role in the covenant when we follow the evangelical path of the Apostle Paul later.

So it is apparent from Scripture that Yahshua did not send His disciples to Gentiles but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. This makes total sense since He came to save all of Israel, not only one tribe, Judah.

John 11:50-52 nor consider that it is profitable for us that one man die for the people, and not all the nation to perish. But he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahshua was about to die on behalf of the nation, and not only on behalf of the nation, but that He also might gather into one the children of Yahweh who had been scattered.

Because of the promises made to David, the Messiah was to be from the House of Judah. So that is why Yahshua came to His own first (Judah), but Judah rejected Him (John 1:11). So it only stands to reason that He would  then bring the message of redemption back to the covenant of Yahweh, through His blood, to the rest of the House of Israel.

As we have seen, Judah was the primary tribe or House in the day of Yahshua. Ephraim was still in Diaspora. But when Judah rejected Yahshua, then Ephraim  was  given an opportunity to be grafted back into their own covenant. So the job of the Apostles, as given by Yahshua Himself, was the beginning of the calling back of the lost tribes of Israel, back to the covenant of Yahweh.

It is also interesting to note a prophecy that Yahshua gave to Judah in Luke the 13th chapter, when they rejected Him as Messiah.

Luk 13:34-35 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! The one killing the prophets, and stoning those having been sent to her, how often I desired to gather your children in the way a hen gathers her brood under the wings, and you did not desire it. Behold, “your house is left to you desolate.” And truly I say to you, You shall not at all see Me until it comes when you say, “Blessed is the One coming in the Name of Yahweh.”

Judah was told their house would be left to them desolate. We have already explained that the kingly line from David to Solomon was cursed to be desolate, and that the Messiah would come through the line of Nathan. So Judah would no longer be the primary tribe of Israel. Now Ephraim would be the primary tribe. This does not mean that Judah has been cast away for good. We know their eyes will be opened to Yahshua as Messiah when He returns.

Zec 12:10 And I will pour on the house of David, and on those living in Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me (aleph, Tav) Whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one  mourns for an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the first-born.

When Yahshua returns the House of Judah will also accept Him as Messiah. It is interesting to note in this verse that between the words, Me and Whom are the two Hebrew letters “aleph” and “tav.” These are the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and one of the Names by which Yahshua calls Himself.

Rev 1:7-8 “Behold, He comes with the clouds,” and “every eye will see Him, and the ones who pierced” Him, and all the tribes of the earth “will wail on account of Him.” Yes, Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Master, the One Who is, and Who was, and Who is coming, the Almighty.

The alpha and the omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, just as Aleph and Tav are in the Hebrew. There is actually some new historical proof showing that the book of Revelation was most likely originally written in Hebrew.

Both The House of Judah and the House of Israel (Ephraim) were unfaithful and needed a Messiah to redeem them from the covenant promises that they had broken. Once Yahshua came to earth and paid that penalty for their sins, He could start a new covenant with them. His sacrifice, done once for all and continuing until today, could pay the penalty for future sins under the new covenant.

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,

Jer 31:32 not according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt (which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Yahweh).

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of Israel: After those days, declares Yahweh, I will put My Law in their inward  parts, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.

Jer 31:34 And they shall  no longer each man teach his neighbor, and each man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh. For they shall all  know Me, from the least of them even to the greatest of them, declares Yahweh. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more.

Now that Yahshua had paid the penalty of the old covenant, Yahweh was able to make a new covenant with Israel. Notice that His law is the same in both covenants, the difference being that in the New Covenant it is written on the hearts, so that the sons of Israel would not be disobedient. This can only come through the imparting of the Holy Spirit. Now when one becomes a new believer in Yahshua, he is a new creation.

2nd Cor 5:17-18 So that if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new! And all things are from Elohim, the One having reconciled us to Himself through Yahshua Messiah, and having given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

Once one becomes a believer in Yahshua, he would not be considered a Gentile any longer, or even a Messianic Jew, but a Messianic Israelite. Yahshua, Who is doing a new thing, has made all into one unto Himself.

Gal 3:26-29 for you are all sons of Yahweh through faith in Yahshua Messiah. For as many as were immersed (baptized) into Messiah, you put on Messiah. There cannot be Jew nor Greek, there is no slave nor freeman, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Yahshua Messiah. And if you are of Messiah, then you are a seed of Abraham, even heirs according to promise.

Through Yahshua, the Creator of all things, we have spiritually become one or “echad” in him. He will also physically gather together the seed of Abraham to Himself at His return, as we have seen in Ezekiel the 37th chapter. So, the job of the early believers was to go throughout the whole world, calling back the lost tribes of Israel to the covenant of Yahweh, through the blood of Yahshua. As they were doing this, salvation was open to any person of any race or color who feared Yahweh and sought to join the covenant of Israel. Let us now follow the path of the original Apostles and see where they went.

It is interesting to note who the New Testament was written to, in order to be able to understand where the Apostles were preaching. Paul’s primary mission was to the Nations, as we will see shortly. Most of the New Testament was written by Paul. Strangely enough, even the book of Acts written by Luke (who, by the way, was an Israelite, not a Gentile), after chapter 12 deals almost exclusively with the journeys of Paul, and not the other Apostles. Doesn’t it seem strange that there were 12 Apostles who were with Yahshua during His whole earthly ministry, yet the vast majority of the New Testament was written by an Apostle who never even met Him during His earthly ministry, and whose primary job was not to the lost tribes of Israel?

There is a very good reason for this. Yahweh was trying to hide the identity of the lost tribes of Israel until the end time. In the plan of our Heavenly Father, the lost tribes were not to be known, or to return to the land of Israel, until the last generation, when the Messiah appears.

Another reason for hiding the identity of the lost Tribes of Israel was for their safety. After the death of the Apostles, at the beginning of the second century AD, a great persecution started on all true believers until 325 AD and the council of Nicea, under Emperor Constantine. After the council of Nicea, it was ruled that any one keeping the Sabbath or the Holy days or caught Judiazing, as Constantine put it, were criminals. Many were put to death at this time. The true believers had to flee to the mountains for over 1200 years. I document this  time period fully in  my book entitled “The Great Falling Away.” So Yahweh, in His infinite wisdom, knew He would need to hide the identity of the Lost Tribes of Israel to protect them from the religious persecution that would come. This is why very little is said in Scripture about where the Apostles preached, to protect their identity. But secular history tells us quite a bit about the Apostles journeys, as we will see shortly.

First though, let us look at a few clues that have been left in Scripture to show us the hidden trail of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Did you ever notice that every book in the New Testament ends with the word “Amen”? It shows completeness to the book written. That is, every book but three. Three books in the New Testament do not end with the word amen, because they are not complete, and they contain clues to the lost Tribes of Israel. They are the book of Acts, James, and 3rd John.We will discuss why the book of Acts does not have an Amen at its end when we discuss the Apostle Paul’s journeys shortly.

Let us now look at the book of James. As states, James does not contain an Amen at the end. We will clearly see that this was deliberately done to show that the book was not completed, in order to conceal the identity of the tribes of Israel. Let’s take a look at how the  book starts and to whom James was writing.

Jam 1:1 James, a slave of Yahweh and of the Master Yahshua Messiah, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting:

You may have never noticed that before, but very clearly James is writing to the 12 tribes that are in the Diaspora. It is interesting to note that he even includes  Judah because, although many Jews were living in the land of Israel, there were many Jews who were still in Diaspora at the time of the 1st century. Acts 2 lists many of these displaced Jews that Peter was preaching to from the Diaspora.

From James 4:1 we learn that there were  outbreaks of war in these areas where the lost tribes were living:

Jam 4:1a From where do wars and fightings among you come?

If we look into the history books in around 60 AD, the time of the writing of the book of James, we find that there were no wars in Judah at this time. War did not break out until the Roman revolt in 66 AD. The only wars going on in the world at this time were in The Parthian Empire and in the British Isles. Interesting enough, this is exactly where we have proven that many of the lost tribes were.

When we look at 3rd John it is very evident why he left an Amen out of his letter. John was the last living Apostle and did most of his ministry in Asia Minor. By the time of this letter, it was the end of the first century AD, and persecution on true believers was already creeping in. Since many of the lost tribes were in the region to which he was writing, he did not want to reveal their location to would-be attackers of the true faith.

Let us also look at the 1st epistle of Peter.

1st Pet 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Yahshua Messiah, to the elect sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, of Galatia, of Cappadocia, of Asia, and of Bithynia,

We see that Peter was writing to the elect sojourners scattered abroad. He mentions several places where these lost Israelites were scattered. Notice also how he relates to them. He calls them sojourners. The Greek work for this is “parepidemos.” It literally means a resident foreigner, or an alien alongside. It refers, not to gentiles, but to non- gentiles who dwelt among gentiles as foreigners. Then, we see again that these Israelites were living in the same regions that history tells us they migrated to, and that also tells us that the Apostles went to preach there. Peter was not talking to Jews, for he would never address Jews as strangers, as he himself was a Jew. These areas were the northern half of Asia Minor, all just west of the Parthian Empire. Paul did not preach in these areas but only preached in southern or Greek Asia Minor.

Rom 15:19b-20 so as for me to have fulfilled the preaching of the good news of Messiah from Jerusalem and in a circle as far as Illyricum. And so eagerly striving to preach the gospel where Messiah was not named, so that I should not build on another’s foundation,

Nowhere do you see Paul preaching in Pontus, Cappadocia, or Bithynia. These areas were under the jurisdiction of Peter and other of the twelve Apostles. Paul did not preach the good news of Yahshua in the north of Asia, but only in the south  half, in the districts of Ephesus. Paul was expressly forbidden to preach in the north.

Act 16:6-8 And passing through the Phrygian and the Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the Word in Asia, coming against Mysia, they attempted to go along Bithynia, and the Spirit did not allow them. And passing by Mysia, they came down into Troas.

Paul was forbidden to go into these areas because the lost tribes were there, and it was given to the twelve, not Paul to preach to them.

Gal 2:7 but on the contrary, seeing that I (Paul) have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter to the circumcision,

Paul did preach in southern Galatia, in the cities of Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, but nowhere in Scripture do you find Paul journeying to northern Galatia.

Now, let us look at the journeys of the twelve Apostles from history. Metaphastes, the Greek historian, writes about the Apostle Peter “that Peter was not only in these western parts, by the western Mediterranean, but he was particularly a long time in Britain, where he converted many nations to the faith.”1 It is interesting to note that Peter was in Britain preaching to the lost tribes of Israel, the same place where James said wars were going on when he wrote to the lost tribes.

Next let’s look at Andrew, the brother of Peter. Andrew was allotted Scythia, a major place of Israelites as we have already proven, and the neighboring countries. First, he traveled through Cappadocia, upper Galatia and Bithynia to arrive there, passing along the Euxine Sea (ancient name for Black Sea) and into the solitudes of Scythia. Interesting enough, these are the very regions that the Apostle Paul by-passed, due to their infusion of Israelites.

Let’s see what is written about Andrew’s journeys in Caves’ “Antiquitates Apostolicae”:

“Andrew went next to Trapezus, a maritime city upon the Euxline Sea, whence after many other places he came to Nice, where he stayed two years, preaching and working miracles with great success: thence to Nicomedia, and so to Chalcedon; whence sailing  through  the Propontis he came by the Euxline Sea to Heraclea, and from thence  to Amastris. He next came to Sinope, a city situated upon the same sea, here he met with his brother Peter, with whom he stayed a considerable time.

“Whence after some time he betook himself, to the country of the Abasgi, (a land in the Caucasus) hence he removed into Asiatic Scythia or Sarmatia (after Samaria), but finding the inhabitants very barbarous and intractable, he stayed not long among them, only at Cherson, a great and populous city within the Bosphorus (this Bophorus is the modern Crimea) he continued some time, instructing and confirming them in the faith. Hence taking ship, he sailed across the sea to Sinope, situated in Paphlagonia”.2

Andrew was preaching in the same exact areas that history clearly shows that the lost tribes were living.

Next we come to Simon the Zealot. History tells us that

“Simon directed his journey toward Egypt, thence to Cyrene, and Africa, and throughout Mauritania and all Lybia, preaching the good news. Nor could the coldness of the climate benumb his zeal, or hinder him from shipping himself and the Christian doctrine over to the western islands.” 3

Did you notice that Simon  preached in northern Africa, the very area of the Carthage Empire to which the Lost Tribes of Israel had migrated, as we have already seen? It is also interesting to note, that when the Saxons (Sons of Isaac) migrated to Ireland and then onto Britain, they did so with 160,000 white Africans. These countless thousands were not Arabs nor Berbers, but a white race that was living in Africa after being driven out of the Middle East by a powerful enemy and  pursued  unto Greece. From there they made their escape to North Africa.4 What white nation of people were cast out of the Middle East from the western shores of Asia? Clearly this is the House of Israel. Then from the Northern shores of Africa, some migrated north to Ireland and Britain, and some migrated south to other African countries such as Kenya and Ethiopia. I know of thousands of Kenyans today who keep the Sabbath and the Torah and are remnants of the tribes of Israel. Also, many Ethiopians today are  recognized as Israelites and are  allowed to live in the land of Israel.

In 1981, thousands of Ethiopian Israelites were airlifted by the Israeli Defense Force after one of the head Rabbis in Israel publicly proclaimed that they were indeed Israelites, probably from the tribe of Dan.

Next, let us look at James Son of Alphaeus.

“After the death of Steven, James came to the western parts, and particularly to Spain, where he planted Christianity.”5

Why Spain? It is a well-known fact that from ancient times Spain was a high road of  migration from the Eastern Mediterranean to the British Isles. The ancient royal house of Ireland for a time dwelt in Spain.

How about the Parthian Empire, the place where many Israelites dwelt? History reveals that “Thomas brought the good news message to Parthia, after which Sophronius, and others inform us, that “he also preached the gospel to the Medes, Persians, Carmans, Hyrcani, Bactrians, and the neighboring nations.”6

We  know these lands today as Iran, Afghanistan, and as far west as India. In apostolic days a major part of this region was subject to the Parthians. There are many tribal groups in Afghanistan and as far as India today who are claiming that they are descendants from the lost tribes of Israel. Many can trace their lineage all the way back to the Parthian Empire. The Arts and Entertainment channel did a documentary about these groups several years ago, documenting the migration we are speaking about. They showed a fairly large group of settlers that lived on the India-Burma border who called themselves “Menaseh,” after the tribe of Manasseh. Rabbi Eliyahu Avichail, a well-known rabbi from Israel, has helped many of these Menaseh Indians migrate to the land of Israel. They have ancient maps to show that they are the  ancestors of ancient Manasseh. The maps show the route that their ancestors took across central Asia,  through China to India.7

Thomas preached in India to what history calls the white Indians, but we know them as displaced Israelites.

Bartholomew shared with Thomas the same vast plains, according to Nicephorus. Bartholomew also spent part of his time in neighboring Armenia, and a portion of upper Phrygia in Asia Minor, the same area that Andrew was in, and to which Peter sent two of his letters.

Next we come to Thaddaeus, who had part in the ministry in Assyria and Mesopotamia. This was part of Parthia that Josephus designated as still inhabited by the ten Northern tribes of Israel.

Then we come to Phillip. Scythia and upper Asia were the areas assigned to Phillip.8 As we have seen, many Israelites migrated to Scythia during the time of the Assyrian captivity. Scythia was the name of the vast plain north of the Black and Caspian Seas. From  Scythia migrated the Scots. The word Scot is derived from the word Scyth. It means an inhabitant  of Scythia. The Scots are part of the House of Israel. Interesting enough, the word Scythia in Celtic has the same meaning that Hebrew does in Semetic – a“migrant” or “wanderer,” which the Israelites certainly were.

What about Matthew? Metaphrastes tells us “that Matthew went first to Parthia, then having successfully planted the faith in those areas, thence traveled into Aethiopia, that is, the Asiatic Aethiopia, lying near to India.”9

For some centuries this region of the Hindu Kush, bordering on Scythia and Parthia, was known as “White India.” It lies slightly east of the area where Assyria settled the Israelites captives. A natural process of growth led the House of Israel to those sparsely populated areas.

Next we come to Matthias, the Apostle who was not named until after the resurrection of Yahshua. Ethiopian and Greek sources designate Dacia (modern Romania) and Macedonia, north of Greece, as part of Matthias’ ministry. Dacia was the extreme western part of Scythia. From Dacia came the Normans who settled in Scandinavia, France and Britain. Scandinavia was originally named “Scath-anavia” in honor of the Scyths.10

Lastly we come to the Apostle John. The French tradition that Mary, the mother of Yahshua, journeyed into Gaul (modern France) lends weight to John’s having been in Gaul in his earlier years. There is much historical evidence to show that the tribe of Reuben migrated to France. One interesting point on that is the latest war in 2003 with America and Iraq. If you remember, France was the most outspoken opponent against America going to war with Iraq and occupying their land. The reason may be one not thought of by most people. 1st Chronicles 5 tells us that Reuben had spread out from Gilead all the way to the Euphrates River (Modern Iraq).

1st Chron 5:6  Beerah, his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria exiled. He was ruler of the men of Reuben.

1st Chron 5:9 And he lived as far to the east as to the entrance of the wilderness from the Euphrates River, because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

So we see that Reuben (France) may have had more to protect against America occupying the land of Iraq, than previously thought.

We know from many other historical sources, including Eusubius, that most of John’s later years were spent  in Asia Minor, where he was basically the main congregational leader there. These were the very same areas to which  that Peter addressed his epistle, and that we have seen that the lost tribes of Israel were living in.

The good news message of the Kingdom did not leave the land of Israel until 10 years or so after the formation of the New Testament Congregation. By the time the good news message did go out to the lost tribes, James had already been beheaded by Herod, and he was the only Apostle not to leave the land of Israel.

It is just simply amazing when you unroll the scrolls of history and see where the original Apostles ministered. Most people have no idea what the early Apostles were doing. Most of the history of Christianity is derived from 3rd century philosophers and pagan Roman church leaders. It is vitally important that the true message of where the Apostles went is released. This will open the minds of people to see that the Apostles were fulfilling exactly the commission that Yahshua had given them.

Mat 10:5-6 Yahshua sent these twelve out, charging them, saying: Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not go into a Samaritan city. But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Let’s now take a moment and look at the Apostle Paul. We have already shown that Paul did not go into the areas of northern Asia, or even northern Asia Minor, so that he would not overlap an area where one of the Apostles was already preaching to the lost tribes of Israel.

Rom 15:20 And so eagerly striving to preach the gospel where Messiah was not named, so that I should not build on another’s foundation,

No, Paul went to Southern Asia Minor, and to the Greek- speaking areas around the Mediterranean Sea, as far as Rome, according to the word given to him by Yahshua. But were these the only regions that Paul went to? Let’s take another look at Paul’s commission in Acts 9.

Act 9:15 And the Almighty said to him, Go, for this one (Paul)  is a chosen vessel to Me, to bear My Name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.

This was Paul’s commission. He was to witness of Yahshua to the Nations, which most of the book of Acts shares with us. He was to go before kings. Acts the 24th to 26th chapters tell us of how Paul witnessed before Felix, and Festus and also King Agrippa. So powerful was Paul’s testimony to King Agrippa that his answer to Paul was “Almost thou persuade me to become a Christian” (Acts 26:28).

We all know of Paul’s great courage and boldness in his preaching, but what about the third part of Paul’s commission, “that he would witness to the sons of Israel?”

Remember, there were three books in the New Testament which did not end with an Amen, so as to hide the identity of the lost Tribes of Israel. We have already gone over two of those books, the epistle of James, and the third epistle of John. What about the third book that has no Amen, the book of Acts? Very strangely, after telling a very detailed, graphic account of the early Congregation, Luke, the author of Acts, abruptly ends Acts almost in the midst of the story. Did you ever wonder what happened to Paul after Acts 28? There is a manuscript that many believe to be credible that continues the end of the story of Acts 29. It shares the rest of Paul’s journey.

Acts 29 And Paul, full of the blessings of Messiah, and abounding in spirit, departed from Rome, determining to go to Spain, for he had proposed to  go  there for  a long time, and also from there to Britain. For he had  heard  in Phoenicia that some of the children of Israel, about the time of the Assyrian captivity, had escaped by sea to “the Isles afar off” as spoken by the prophet, and called by the Romans, Britain. And the Almighty commanded the gospel to be preached to all the nations of the gentiles, and to the lost sheep of the house of  Israel.  And no man hindered Paul; for he testified boldly of Yahshua before the tribunes and among the people. He took with him certain brethren which were with him at Rome, and they boarded a ship at Ostrium and having the winds fair were brought safely to a haven of Spain.

And many people were gathered together from the towns and villages, and the hill country; for they had heard of the conversion of the apostle, and his many miracles. And Paul preached mightily in Spain and great multitudes were converted,  for they perceived that he was an  apostle  sent by Elohim.

And when leaving Spain, Paul and his company found a ship in Armorica, which was sailing to Britain, they sailed along the south coast until they reached a port called Raphinus. Now when it was known that the apostle had landed on their coast, great multitudes of  the inhabitants met him, and they treated Paul courteously and he entered in at the east gate of their city, and stayed in the house of a Hebrew, one of his own nation. The next day he came to mount Lud and the people thronged the gate,  and assembled in the Broadway, and he preached Messiah to them, and they believed the word and the testimony of Yahshua.”10

What an interesting end to the story. Here we find out that Paul not only went to Spain, as he had earlier promised, but he also fulfilled his commission, just as Yahshua had said he would, to the lost sheep of the sons of Israel. Paul, after his release from Rome, went through Spain, and on to Britain, before coming back eventually to Rome, where he was beheaded by Nero in 64 AD.

So many roads lead Israel back to Britain. Even when you look at the word “British,” it is basically made from two Hebrew words. The first, “Brit,” means covenant, and the second, “ish,” means man. So even the very word “British” literally means “covenant men” in Hebrew. They are also Anglo-Saxons. Saxons, or Sax-sons, can also be the sons of I-Saac, as we have shown earlier in the book.

There are too many coincidence to be just happenstance. If one is honest with oneself and looks at the evidence in a non-biased way, there is no way to get around the fact that the sons of Israel are not lost, but are scattered today throughout the whole inhabitable world, and are concentrated in Great Britain, Europe and America. The commission to the Apostles to seek out the lost sheep of Israel did not end 2,000 years ago, but is still going on today. The wonderful plan of our Heavenly Father in these end-times is to redeem and restore a people (Israel) back to Him, through His righteous Servant, Yahshua  Messiah. You can also join in the plan of Yahweh, redeeming the sons of Israel back to Him today, by sharing these truths with Christians who have no idea of their Israelite heritage.

Let us now look at what Scripture says about the role of the Messiah in the end-times in restoring the Nation of Israel back to their land.
