Of course Yisrael has gone into all the nations...this is called the diaspora. The Jewish people (all of Yisrael) have mixed into every nation on Earth. But, this doesn't mean that these nations are now representative of one of the "lost tribes". The Jewish people have always been a minority where ever they were exiled to. No where -anywhere- in the scriptures does it say that any one particular nation is representative of one of the "ten lost tribes". At this point it is left up to conjecture and one's theological opinion.
The truth is based on the word of our Heavenly Father...and no where does it say that the "ten lost tribes" are representative of any one nation. So, if the scriptures doen't -clearly- say it, there must be some reason you want to apply this understanding upon the scriptures. Do you think you are from one of the "ten lost tribes" and if so, which one? The truth produces good fruit...what fruit do you believe your theology will produce in life of believers?
Shalom,
Reuel

Agreed.
With regard to the 10 "lost tribes", most of their descendents have actually been found east of HaEretz. These places include: Afghanistan, Burma, India, Pakistan, Kashmir, China, and Japan. Any suggestion of remnants of the tribes being located in Europe is left-over "British-Israelism" theology.
Shalom.

There no point in arguing this, one of the missions Mashiakh Ben Dawid must fulfill is the restoration fo the 10 tribes on Yisra'El. We don't know who they all are, but there is probaly some from every corner of the Earth. I mean, just look at the Black Skinned Ethiopian Jews who are descended from Dan. They are fully able to make aliyah to Yisra'El. When Mashiakh comes we will know exactly who the lost ten tribes are. Maybe you two house guys will be right, maybe not. It doesn't really matter either way. We'll know soon enough, until then let bygones be bygones.
