Biblical Evidence: The Blessings of the Lost Ten Tribes in Exile
Immense Multitudes of People
Large Numbers
A Great Many People
.
The Bible Promised that the Israelite Nations would number an immense multitude. This is one of the characteristics of the Lost Ten Tribes
that have been fulfilled through Western Peoples.

To see the article below:
It was prophesied that the Lost Ten
Tribes would be extremely numerous and numbers 100s of millions or more.
We must therefore look for a group of peoples related to each other who
do have such numbers as well as fulfilling all the other criteria given by
the Bible.
Only the Brit-Am solution fulfills
these conditions.
Abraham was promised that his seed
would be extremely numerous.
[Genesis 15:5] AND HE BROUGHT
HIM FORTH ABROAD, AND SAID, LOOK NOW TOWARD HEAVEN, AND TELL THE STARS,
IF THOU BE ABLE TO NUMBER THEM: AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, SO
SHALL THY SEED BE.
[Genesis 22:17]
THAT IN BLESSING
I WILL BLESS THEE, AND IN MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY THY SEED AS
THE STARS OF THE HEAVEN, AND AS THE SAND WHICH IS UPON THE SEA SHORE; AND
THY SEED SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF HIS ENEMIES;
[Genesis 22:18]
AND IN THY SEED
SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED; BECAUSE THOU HAST OBEYED
MY VOICE.
Isaac married Rebecca who it was predicted
would become the mother of alfei revava or thousands of ten thousands (Genesis
24:60), translated as thousands of millionsby the King James.
[Genesis 24:60] AND THEY BLESSED
REBEKAH, AND SAID UNTO HER, THOU ART OUR SISTER, BE THOU THE MOTHER OF THOUSANDS
OF MILLIONS, AND LET THY SEED POSSESS THE GATE OF THOSE WHICH HATE
THEM.
Isaac was to be the ancestor of innumerable
descendants.
[Genesis 32:12] AND THOU SAIDST,
I WILL SURELY DO THEE GOOD, AND MAKE THY SEED AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, WHICH
CANNOT BE NUMBERED FOR MULTITUDE.
The Israelites will be so numerous
that they cannot be counted:
[Numbers 23:10] WHO CAN COUNT THE DUST OF JACOB,
AND THE NUMBER OF THE FOURTH PART OF ISRAEL? LET ME DIE THE DEATH
OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND LET MY LAST END BE LIKE HIS!
The Lost Ten Tribes at the end times
will number an enormous number of people.
We saw how the Jews of Judah will
be astounded at the numbers of Lost Israelites who will return even though
they were not previously known to belong to Israel:
[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?
YIsaiah predicted that in the Last
days only a few would survive and that disasters would occur:
[Isaiah 10:22] FOR THOUGH YOUR
PEOPLE ISRAEL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, ONLY A REMNANT OF THEM WILL RETURN.
DESTRUCTION IS DECREED, OVERFLOWING WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.
<<BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA>>:
Descendants of Israel will be exceedingly numerous towards the end times.
Isaiah says that the nation will be increased greatly and be removed unto
the ends of the earth (Isaiah 24:16, 26:15) meaning the geographical extremities
of the world such as Britain, North America, Scandinavia, Western Europe,
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Hosea also said that the Children
of Israel will be innumerable:
[Hosea 1:10] YET THE
NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, WHICH
CANNOT BE MEASURED NOR NUMBERED; AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT IN THE
PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE NOT MY PEOPLE, THERE IT SHALL
BE SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.
When you take everything all together
and consider who we belief the Lost Ten Tribes to be today and their present
numbers and compare them with that which was prophesied: Instead of asking
how can them be so many? One could well ask, Where are the rest?
Brit-Am supporter, Colbert Brian,
pointed out that an indicated number concerning the Israelites in the future
could have been Six Hundred Million Males Plus Their Families!
[Deuteronomy 1:11]
THE LORD GOD
OF YOUR FATHERS MAKE YOU A THOUSAND TIMES SO MANY MORE AS YE ARE, AND BLESS
YOU, AS HE HATH PROMISED YOU!
At that time they numbered more than 600,000 males who went out to war.
A thousand times 600,000 makes 600 million males on to which must be added
females and children under the age of twenty and men over the age of 60.
We have not yet necessarily reached
these numbers but will do so in the future.
The possibility of demographic disaster.
If our peoples do not repent however
there is the chance that our numbers be greatly reduced prior to the day
of Deliverance.
[Isaiah 10:22] FOR THOUGH
YOUR PEOPLE ISRAEL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, ONLY A REMNANT OF THEM WILL
RETURN. DESTRUCTION IS DECREED, OVERFLOWING WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.
This indicates that towards the Last
Days the Israelites will be exceedingly numerous but something could happen
so that only a relatively few remain.
[Jeremiah 3:14] TURN, O BACKSLIDING
CHILDREN, SAITH THE LORD; FOR I AM MARRIED UNTO YOU: AND I WILL TAKE YOU
ONE OF A CITY, AND TWO OF A FAMILY, AND I WILL BRING YOU TO ZION:
This could mean several things: It
could be that only a minority will return. Zechariah 13;8 indicates that
there will be some kind of calamity and that only a third will survive:
AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT IN ALL THE LAND, SAITH THE LORD, TWO PARTS
THEREIN SHALL BE CUT OFF AND DIE; BUT THE THIRD SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN [Zechariah
13:8]. It could mean something else. Jeremiah is speaking of a return
to Zion. Zion according to the simple meaning is another term for Jerusalem
meaning Judah in the religious sense. It could be that a relatively small
portion (ONE OF A CITY, AND TWO OF A FAMILY) will be called upon to return
in the religious sense prior to the Messianic Era.
[Ezekiel 5:2] THOU SHALT BURN
WITH FIRE A THIRD PART IN THE MIDST OF THE CITY, WHEN THE DAYS OF THE SIEGE
ARE FULFILLED: AND THOU SHALT TAKE A THIRD PART, AND SMITE ABOUT IT WITH
A KNIFE: AND A THIRD PART THOU SHALT SCATTER IN THE WIND; AND I WILL DRAW
OUT A SWORD AFTER THEM.
Ezekiel is referring to the fate of
Jerusalem on the simple level. One third destroyed within the city, another
third in the area around about, and the last third scattered and exiled.
A similar use of dividing into threes concerning a coming calamity was found
in Zechariah.
[Zechariah 13:8]
AND IT SHALL
COME TO PASS, THAT IN ALL THE LAND, SAITH THE LORD, TWO PARTS THEREIN SHALL
BE CUT OFF AND DIE; BUT THE THIRD SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN.
[Zechariah 13:9]
AND I WILL
BRING THE THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE, AND WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS
REFINED, AND WILL TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED: THEY SHALL CALL ON MY NAME,
AND I WILL HEAR THEM: I WILL SAY, IT IS MY PEOPLE: AND THEY SHALL SAY,
THE LORD IS MY GOD.
The general explanation suggested
is that some calamity will occur. Two-thirds of the worlds people (including,
by implication, two-thirds of the Israelites?) will perish. Part of the
remaining third of non-Israelites and Israelites by descent will then accept
the faith of Israel and identify as Israelites BUT then will come the troubles
of Gog and Magog. There will be persecutions and the threat of extinction.
Most of the non-Israelites who accepted the Israelite faith will back out
and it will be mainly those of Israelite descent who remain attached to Israelite
religion.
After all that, no matter what happens
our numbers will increase again.
