QUESTION: Who are the offspring of the 12 Tribes of Israel?
ANSWER: Modern day Jews mainly comprise the tribes of Judah,(the ruling tribe) and Levi whose task was to assist Judah in teaching all the Tribes. There are representatives of all the tribes among the Jews, but for the most part THE OTHER TEN WERE DEPORTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY THE ASSYRIANS SEPARATEY FROM THE JEWS. After about 100 years they left the area south of the Black Sea and began migrating north and west. Historians mention the tribes of Isaac under the names Saka and Isacka, Scyths, etc. and tell us that the Scythian and Cimmerian and Celtic tribes were in the exact areas at precisely the same time as Israel was there. So, we assume they were one and the same and can trace their migration all across Europe to the Western nations, where they are today. The Scripture also says members of all twelve tribes are scattered everywhere around the world. Yair Davidiy, along with Raymond F. McNair and Steven Collins are some of the foremost authorities on the subject of the Ten Tribes and all have excellent books on the subject of the Tribes if you are interested.

What is our real motivation for following God? Do we really want to be His people, or is there some hidden motive - a motive we might even hide from ourselves?

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
Isaiah 6:1
God wears a priestly robe with a ritual hem akin to the bells and pomegranates of Aaron or the tzitziyot of every Israelite. Not literally, of course. He doesn't have a physical body on which to hang a physical robe.
The seraphim cover their faces and feet in God's presence. I wonder if they consider themselves unclean by comparison. God's presence is frequently marked by fire and lightning with smoke and deep darkness. He can be kind and gentle, but his full presence is unimaginably dangerous.
And YHVH said to Moses, "Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever."…
#exodus 19:9 #yitro
Dramatic miracles are rarely just for the benefit of the one receiving them, but for those who are watching. God didn't need to come to Moses in a thunderous cloud on a mountain top. He could have whispered to him in his tent. God wanted the people to know that every word Moses spoke to them in the wilderness was from God, not from his own imagination. They were unable to hear God with their own hearts, so God set Moses as an intermediary, but what good is an intermediary if the people won't listen to him either?
