Question 82: Who were the lost tribes?
Answer:
The "lost tribes," so-called, were the Jews carried into captivity by Shalmaneser (2 Kings 17:6) and chiefly belonging to Israel or the ten tribes. Many theories as to their location and their descendants have been ventilated and they have been successively located (by ingenious investigators) in Hindustan, Tartary, China, Africa, Great Britain and among the aborigines of North America. More reasonable conjectures hold that while some returned after the exile and others were left in Samaria, many remained in Assyria and afterward joined with the Jews in forming colonies throughout the East, so that in a certain sense, they shared the ultimate history of their brethren of Judah.
Frequently asked questions and answers:
Question 81: Why did the wicked kings of Judah let their sons pass through fire?
Answer:
It was a heathen form of worship to Molech, Milcom or Chemosh, which the Israelites had borrowed or adapted from the Moabites and Ammonites. Human sacrifices were made in high places to Molech. The chief interpreters Jarchi, Kimchi and Maimonides wrote that in the worship of Molech, the children were not burned, but were made to pass before two burning pyres as a purification rite. It is quite clear however, that in many cases lives were actually sacrificed (see Psalm 106:37, 38; Jeremiah 7:31). It was assumed that by this rite the victims were purged from dross of the body and attained union with the deity.
Thought for Today: Tuesday January 14
The Bible tells us that our lives are heaven’s primary concern… Think of it: Even the angel are constantly watching how we live as believers! They know the hour is urgent, and that what we do is important. And remember, it does matter how we live. It matters to YHVH; it matters to the angels and it is the testimony to other people. Yeshua said: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16)
I have a lot of notes and replies to things I've kept over the years. Something that I have shared quite a bit outside of the comics is a series of questions and verses to answer those questions. Each question and answer builds on each other. I am going to do a comic for each of these questions. This is question #2.

*New Song* (WARNING: It's a bit heavy)
A Greater Than Shalomoh is here!
By Dr Garth Grenache

2024:11:14
Before the world, Yah set me here
As master workman, ever near
Delighting in His grand design
And in mankind, His work divine
Chorus:
With wisdom vast and love sincere.
I reign in power, hearts I'll steer,
My light shines bright, my paths made clear,
A greater than Shalomoh is here!
So heed my call, O sons of man
And walk the path of wisdom's plan
For he who finds me, finds true life
But scorners court eternal strife
Chorus:
With wisdom vast and love sincere.
I reign in power, hearts I'll steer,
My light shines bright, my paths made clear,
A greater than Shalomoh is here!
Chorus:
With wisdom vast and love sincere.
I reign in power, hearts I'll steer,
My light shines bright, my paths made clear,
A greater than Shalomoh is here!
