Author Description

Ten Lost Tribes chronicles the disappearance of ten tribes of the Biblical Children of Israel, taken to Assyria in the years before the destruction of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and Babylonian exile of the Jews. Some Israelites of the Ten Tribes escaped Assyrian exile, many joining the thousands of Jews who came back from Babylon to build a Second Temple. The mysterious loss of millions who never returned has been attributed to their entrapment in far off places and assimilation among the peoples of distant lands. Their numbers are likely far eclipsed by those lost in the vast worldwide dispersion of Jews who failed to return from Babylonian exile. They were subject to intolerance, discrimination and forced conversion almost everywhere they went, and many eventually succumbed to its effects. “Ten Lost Tribes” details their struggles in the face of adversity and persecution, and finds evidence of their hidden descendants in the farthest corners of the earth. Those lost and forgotten are destined to be gathered and returned in Messianic times, even if they are spread to “the end of the heavens” (Isaiah, 27:12-13 and Deuteronomy, 30:4). Thoroughly documented and illustrated in color and 3D, the book is an epic account of astonishing perseverance and survival.
