If you read 2 Chron 11:14-17 you see that once again there is a gathering of the people from all the tribes in the southern kingdom. It is clear that the southern kingdom actually represented the people from all the tribes.Įventually, the entire tribe of Levy joined the south along with a large number of people from the 10 tribes who decided to come back. The "remnant of the people" could be none others than the 10 tribes who chose to say with Rehoboam and teh kingdom of Judah. Some of these people united with Benjamin and Judah and it is clearly indicated in 1 Kings 12:21-24. Not all of the people in the ten tribes followed Jeroboam when he built his seperate kingdom. The 'facts' as recorded in the bible clearly state that there was constant interacion between the people from these 2 kingdoms and that after captivity they eventually lost their tribal identity and finally were known as Jews.
It doesn't account for any mixture of the peoples, nor the possibility that all the 12 tribes finally emerged into one ethnic and religious group. THe CI theory rest upon the idea that these 2 kingdoms were seperate and existed as completely seperate nations and have very seperate destinies. Any real study of these kingdoms clearly shows that Judah and NOT Israel was the channel that Jewhova chose to preserve his "truth"(wow, it was painful calling this 'truth'). The two southern tribes retained the descendants of David as their king and after the other tribes were enslaved they had 3 revivals of their religion and had 150 years of freedom after the other 10 tribes were stolen. These northern tribes endulged in idol worship throught this entire period of time and not one of their kings was a godly man. This kingdom lasted about 250 years under 19 wicked kings and 9 families. The ten northern tribes followed his leadership as he set himself up as the king of Tirzah(as we can read in "1 Kings 14:17) Under Omri, the sixth king of the Northern tribes, the kingdom was re-located in Samaria. The kindoms split under the rule of Solomons son Rehoboam. Most who have an understanding of the bible know that under Saul, David and Solomon Israel existed as twelve tribes, with Levy being the 13th but having no spereate inheritance, and two of the tribes came from Jospheph through his sons Ephraim and Manasseh.
I won't use mythological stories and legends as a source of infomation as the CI adhearents do, other than the bible. To prove that the ten tribes were never lost you must look at history, not the Bible. It may sound wonderfully mysterious to talk about lost tribes, and the idea that they are members of Gods chosen race is very exciting to many, hence the popularity in the WN/Racialist movement. The fact of the matter is that the ten tribes were never lost and the term "ten tribes" as applied to the ten tribes of Israel is a misnomer. If this is proved to be not true, then everything else the advocates of Christian Identity may say is of no avail to prove their cases. The whole concept of CI rests on the notion that the Ten Tribes were lost. It took 2 days to write this out, but over 20 years to research it(Christinsanity in general, not just THIS subject). Here is a breakdown of my understanding of British Israelism/Christian Identity as I have learned it through self study.
