Listener Comment - ..Lost Tribes Research
I heard this Brother ..this morning. He seems to have done some research on the Lost 10 Tribes. Was wondering if you were familiar with him.

Tsiyon Answer - ..Lost Tribes Research
I am familiar with [this researcher], though I don't know him personally. I think a lot of his research is useful. I do have a problem with his emphasis on exclusively equating the white-skinned nations with the lost tribes through what I see as selective research. This tends to support the "British Israel" doctrine made famous by The World Wide Church of God, and Herbert W. Armstrong.

There is a lot of research supporting the worldwide dispersion of the tribes to every corner of the globe, including Asia and Africa. This is consistent with the prophecy that the scattered Remnant will be recovered from "the four corners of the earth." Note these verses, for example:

Then it will happen on that day that YHWH will again recover the second time with His hand the remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea. And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isa 11:11-12

Verses like these point to a global dispersal of Israel rather than the sort of white/regional scenario of the "British Israel" variety. Yet, I have never seen any of this in anything I've seen from [this researcher]. This is not meant to disparage him personally - he's probably a great guy. It is simply meant to point out what I see as an overwhelming flaw in the "British Israel" theory his selective research tends to support.

Listener Comment - ..Armageddon???
Thank you for your great information regarding Revelation! I have read your book and have listened to your messages on the 4 Horsemen, 144,000, and Gog/Magog, etc! However... I've look thru the site and was wondering if you had any teaching on Armageddon??? I am studying the different wars and trying to figure them out in my mind...

Seal 4: Fall of Damascus

Seal 6/7: Fall of Gog Magog

and the Armageddon????

Is Zach 14 ~Messiah putting His feet on Mt Olives...actually part of the
Sixth Seal Gog/Magog war and not Armageddon????
