History:
Exile of the Ten Tribes by SEA!
The Lost Ten Tribes were taken away entirely from the Land of Israel. The Bible
emphasizes that they were all taken away.
Assyrian records also say the same. Archaeological evidence proves it.
Most of the Israelites were taken overland to Assyria (2-Kings 15; 29), Hara
(1-Chronicles 5:26), Halah, Habor, by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of
the Medes (2-Kings 17:6).
In these areas they became associated with the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Goths
and eventually moved to Western Europe, as we shall show in another episode.
What many people do not realize is that a portion of the Exiles were taken
overseas in ships to Spain and areas of Western Europe.
The Bible hints at some of the Israelites being exiled by ship and in the
original Hebrew of Amos 4 refers to it expressly.
Amos prophesied before the Exile but in the Hebrew Bible he predicted that a
portion of the exiles would be transported by ships.
Amos 4 [Amos 4:1]
Hear this word, you cows of
Bashan, who are on the Mountain
of Samaria,
Who oppress the poor,
Who crush the needy,
Who say to your husbands, 'Bring wine, let us drink!'
The Northern Ten Tribes are being referred to. Bashan was part of the Israelite
Territory east of the Jordan.
Samaria was the heart of the Israelite Kingdom west of the Jordan. Both Bashan
and the Mountains of Samaria were important parts of Israel.
[Amos
4:2] The Lord GOD has sworn by His holiness:
' Behold, the days shall come upon you
When He will take you away with fishhooks,
And your posterity with fishhooks.
Here (in this NKJ Translation) we have the word "fishhooks" mentioned twice
though in the Hebrew original two different words are used.
The first Hebrew word is 'Tzinot' meaning fleets of ships or 'great ships' not
HOOKS or Fishhooks!
The second word translated as "fishhooks" is 'Sirot-dugah' meaning in Hebrew
'fishing-boats' or boats designed shaped fishes (such boats existed and were
very large) not FISHHOOKS!
[Amos 4:3]
You will go out through broken walls,
Each one straight ahead of her,
And you will be cast into Harmon,'
Says the LORD.
Harmon (translated as 'INTO THE PALACE' in the KJ!) in Hebrew is 'Harmonah'
meaning to the Mountains of Mannae and Armenia as explained by the Aramaic (Talmudically-affirmed)
translation of Yehonathan.
Exile of the Israelites by Way of the Sea had been referred to
elsewhere in the Bible.
The Philistines of Gaza (Amos 1:6) will be punished for taking Israelite
captives and turning them over to Edom. The same applies to the inhabitants of
Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Ekron and the rest of the Philistines (Amos 1:6) and the
people of Tyre who were once in a brotherly alliance with Israel (Amos 1:9).
Historically we say that the Philistines and Phoenicians (Tyre) used their ships
to transport Israelite captives over the sea westward to Spain, Portugal, the
British Isles, Gaul, and Scandinavia.
Phoenician and Philistine ships working for the Assyrians were instrumental in
the exile of a portion of the Israelites.
Phoenician Ships were the ships of Tyre that sailed to Tarshish in Spain.
Amos (1:9) berates Tyre for assisting the Assyrians in exiling Israelites and
turning them over to Edom.
Hosea (9:13) describes the children of Ephraim taking their children out to to
the slaughter like as was the practice with Tyre.
Amongst the Phoenicians of Tyre and Carthage child sacrifice was practised.
Nowadays we have abortion, pornography, and child-abuse.
Isaiah (23:1-12) described the destruction of Tyre and its inhabitants fleeing
overseas, at first to Cyprus (Kittim, Isiah 23:12) and after that to Tarshish in
Spain (Isaiah 23:6).
Previously Tyre had traded with Tarshish silver, iron, tin, and lead (Ezekiel
27:12) which minerals had been obtained from the Biritish Isles.
Philistine Ships were the Minoan ships of Gaza. Amos berates Tyre for assisting the Assyrians in exiling
Israelites and turning them over to Edom.
Amos (1:6) also condemned the Philistines of Gaza Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Ekron
and the rest of the Philistines for assisting the Assyrians in exiling
Israelites and turning them over to Edom.
The Philistines were part of so-called Minoan and Mycenean civilizations. The distinction between Minoan and later Mycenean Greek Civilization may not as clear-cut as
often assumed.
The Minoans are known from Crete but they were also to be found elsewhere including on the
coasts of Syria and amongst the Philistines. The Philistine city of Gaza in Ancient Times was referred to as Minoa.
This was a well-developed civilization with many acheivements. Their trading ativities reached to the west and included the gold production of Ireland.
Archaeologists have
discovered the remains of Minoan settlement in North Germany by the border with
Denmark.

Minoan finds in "Edomsharde" [Edom's District']. There may be a prosaic reason as to why the area in question still bears the name "Edom". Nevertheless it is interesting in light of the fact that the Philistines were condemned by Amos for turning the Exiles over to Edom!
Area spoken of: Northern Schleswig (North Friesland just south of Denmark) in
Germany in region of Pellworm Island.

Amos (1:6) had mentioned the Exiles being delivered to Edom!
Archaeological Evidence for the period in question shows settlement in
Scandinavia (Bronze Age Period) of people whose culture borrowed from the
Phoenicians, Canaanites, Egyptians, Hittites, Minoans, Mycenean Greeks, and other groups from the Middle
East.
These were Israelites.
The same applies to Britain and Ireland.
In addition a group who were not Phoenicians but were under Phoenician
influences settled in southern Spain, moved later to Northwest Spain, and from
there moved to Britain and Ireland.
These too were Israelites.
