<<ANOTHER TONGUE>>: Most Israelites will not know Hebrew at
that time.
Isaiah 49:21 speaks of the Jewish
reaction when the Lost Tribes will return. Many Jews will be astounded and
even perhaps slightly resentful since they will feel that Joseph at times
of trouble could have been more positive.
ISAIAH AND THE RETURN OF THE LOST
TEN TRIBES
The Lost Ten Tribes will return.
The Jews of Judah will meet the return of the Lost Ten Tribes with mixed
reactions:
[Isaiah 49:21]
"THEN SHALT THOU SAY IN THINE HEART, WHO HATH BEGOTTEN ME THESE, SEEING
I HAVE LOST MY CHILDREN, AND AM DESOLATE, A CAPTIVE, AND REMOVING TO AND
FRO? AND WHO HATH BROUGHT UP THESE? BEHOLD, I WAS LEFT ALONE; THESE, WHERE
HAD THEY BEEN?"
In other words, the Jews will ask
where were all those now identified as Israel when the Jews needed help and were alone?
According to the Midrash (Pesikta
Rabati 32;10) this reaction of the Jews will take place WHEN THEY SEE THE THREE EXILES OF THE LOST TEN TRIBES RETURNING!
This reaction was also discussed
in the Zohar as we described in our work 'Ephraim'.
