Has anyone heard of the 12 tribes of judah?  Do you know if your in one?

My understanding is that the tribes, once literal, are now comprised of the 144,000 who will rule with Christ, and these are comprised from all nations, as the literal Israel was lost upon rejecting Christ.

The Annals of King Jehoshaphat\n\nAfter the reign of King Solomon, the nation of Israel was split into the Northern Kingdom called Israel, and the Southern Kingdom known as Judah. It came to pass that there was a King in Judah known as Jehoshaphat. He was a mighty king and under his reign, Judah won many wars and gained much wealth. Jehoshaphat also tore down the hill shrines and the sacred poles where the people worshipped Baal. King Jehoshaphat was well-liked by the right-wing religious establishment. He was considered by the conservative Chronicler of Judah to be a good king. Not too many of the kings earned that honor.\n\nHowever, the king did have a problem. Many of the court decisions were going against his program. He was not pleased with the way that justice was carried out in the kingdom, so he appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city. Of course, as with any ruler, if he appointed the judges, they were beholden to him. But he was not content with controlling just the federal judges. He wanted to make sure they did the RIGHT thing. So he set up a Supreme Court to rule on disputed cases. Of course the Jehoshaphat Court was always on the RIGHT side. He appointed every last one of them.\n\nWhat the people didn't know was that all this was engineered by his personal advisor, Karlisha Rovekiah. Rovekiah was the man who helped Jehoshaphat into power. Rovekiah and the king's assistant, Chenikiah, and the General of the Army Rumsfeldaphat, formed an inner circle of power. For all practical purposes, they ran the kingdom. Actually, they had poor Jehoshaphat jumping through hoops. This gave rise to an inside joke among the inner circle. They liked to refer to the king as Jumping Jehoshaphat. This is where the well-known expression arose. Even today when people hear of some shocking event, they will exclaim, "Jumping Jehoshaphat."\n\nBut like all kings who jump too high, Jehoshaphat got his comeuppance. He allied himself with the wicked King Ahaziah of Israel and built ships to sail to Tarshish. God was not pleased with his joining forces with the wicked Ahaziah. The ships were wrecked and never got to sail to Tarshish. And so, Jumping Jehoshaphat jumped through his last hoop and slept with his forefathers. By the way, did you know that the name Jehoshaphat really means "little bush?"

Yes they are and I can prove it, The whole bible prophecies the history of blacks, blacks have always seen the similarities but never made the connection. Didn't you know blacks during the slave trade was know by Muslims as "Yahoodee" meaning tribe of Israel? Did you know at of all the people on the face of the Earth who claim to be Hebrews would envy the Ashanti's. The name mean people for the land of Ashan in Judah? Did you it was a place during the slave trade call the "Land of Judah" by the french? Did you ever hear of the Falasha's or beta Israel, Ibo's, Lemba, Yoruba, Fanti, etc. Were call Israelites by Muslims over 1000 years ago? Look it up the Hebrew/Jewish customs in Africa, you will find lots of info. Especially in on the west coast of Africa.

judah is the last remaining tribe of israel, and this televangelist is saying that jesus blames them for his death even though he will also say that jesus came to earth to die for your sins. in other words he is just as confused as you but wants you to think he isn't so you will send him money.

I don't think you're going to get a good answer on this web site. That's a big project. Here's a list of people in the Bible: http://www.mustardseed.net/html/people.html . You'll have to do your own research on who's young and who's not.

Hebrews were part of the 12 tribes originally,...only then they were not referred to as Hebrews.  Ten of those 12 tribes, the Israelites  migrated north away from Judah.  The peoples called Hebrews name means opposite side; those who crossed over the water,...over the Jordan river.  The 12 tribes followed Torah, which is the first five books on our King James bible.  The two that remained in Judah later did not believe that Jesus was The Messiah and remain Jews and follow Judaism.  The Peoples of the Israelites later were those who followed Jesus.  God refers to these ten tribes in the bible as the ten lost tribes;..not lost to God because God knows who and where they are,...but lost in knowing who they are.  The bible says that Abrahams seed is NUMEROUS.  Those ten "lost" tribes migrated north,...crossing over the Caucus Mt's and ended up in Scottland...Britain...Canada,...and this USA.  MANY here in this USA are part of Abrahams family.  Many in this USA and many other parts of this world are Israelites,..and this USA is that land of milk and honey and is TRUE spiritual Israel.

Read the book of Revelations with a concordance. There's mentions of "the dragon of the East". And there's referrences of Assyrian armies attacking Israel. All in all, it's not a pretty picture for the future of our world.

Yes. Watchtower missreads this verse:\n\nAnd I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. \n(Revelation 7:4)\n\nThese 144,000 are 12000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. They will receive Christ and preach boldly the word of God during the tribulation period.\n\nAlso, the bible says:\n\nFor the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. \n(Romans 10:11-13)\n\nFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. \n(John 3:16)\n\nBottom line: when a denomination contradicts the Bible, the Bible is always right

This is a story about a prophet who dared to tell the truth. At the time of this story the Jewish people were divided into 2 kingdoms.  These kingdoms were Judah and Israel. Ahab was the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah.\n\nJehoshaphat had gone to see Ahab.  Ahab was complaining to Jehoshaphat that the kingdom of Syria had taken some of his land.  The land in question Ramoath at Gilead. Ahab wanted Jehoshaphat to go with him to fight Syria and take back this land.\n\nJehoshaphat said he would go after they asked the advice from a prophet of God.  Ahab was ready with 400 prophets, only these prophets were not true prophets of God.  They were "yes men", that is men who said "yes" to anything the king wanted.  They also took part in idol worship, so they were not doing what God wanted them to do. When these prophets were asked if they, Ahab and Jehoshaphat, would win this battle they said that they would win, but Jehoshaphat wasn't satisfied and asked Ahab if there was another prophet of God.\n\nAhab told him that yes there was one named Micaiah, the son of Imlah.  King Ahab said, "I hate him!" he said he hated Micaiah because he never had anything good to say about him or what he wanted to do.  He said that all that Micaiah had to say about him was evil.  But King Jehoshaphat insisted that Ahab send for Macaiah.\n\nThe men that King Ahab had sent to get Macaiah even told Macaiah what to answer when the king asked for his advice.  When he was asked Micaiah answered what he was told to answer, but he said it in a way that every one would know that he was not telling the truth. This made Ahab angry and he ask him to tell the truth. Then Machaiah answered and told them the truth. He said if they went into this battle Israel would be scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd.\n\nAhab said, "Didn't I tell you that he wouldn't prophecy anything good about me, but evil? Another one of Ahab's men got so mad that he slapped Macaiah. Then Ahab order the Macaiah be put in prison and fed only BREAD and WATER until he got back.  Macaiah told Ahab that if he came back at all that what he had just told the them was not from God.\n\nWe know that Macaiah was telling the truth and what he said was from God because he was right. What he said would happen happened.    Even though Ahab had disguised himself for the battle he was killed in that battle.\nAs for Jehoshapaht? Some of the Syrian army saw Jehoshaphat in his chariot and chased him mistaking him for Ahab.  Jehoshaphat had to yell out that he was Jehoshaphat and not Ahab or he might have been killed, too.\n\nSometimes it might be hard to tell the truth but we should always tell the truth.

I have read it and the following will prove it. These are real people with birth and death time. I love it. I read it 13 times in ten years and about 20 now, as they sa, each time you see what you missed before. I can read through 2 Chronicles in half a day now. I have never tried to describe the probably more than 1000 religions. I wanted to know the bible first and then determine who was right. I did not do that yet, do not except those studied.\n\nMoses began to compile the first five books. It is evident that Abraham was a collector of information.

Yes.. I read some of the link, but I have studied the JW's so much that I may know more about them than they do.  The false translation of their Bible, and many others.  The poor people have been decieved and just don't know it.  I spent enough time with one of their teachers that he almost converted as he could see that I had the answers that he didn't.

Before the time of Jesus Christ there were the "Jews" and the "Gentiles" there were probally more with regards to the Native Americans, Myans, Incas etc. However; the "conflict" occured because some of those in the Jewish faith which at the time claimed you had to be born into the religion and at around the time of Christ's departure some of the Jews whom rejected Christ as the "Massiah" continued to follow the Law of Moses while some of the Jews accepted Christ and this was the start of the New Testiment in the Bible and around that time Christianity was "born" The Old Testiment in the Bible is the same as the Koran in the Jewish faith ( or very similar! There may be more details however; this is the "bulk" that I am aware of!

Here is a list I have compiled of around 200 Messianic prophecies identifying the Messiah of Israel. http://tinyurl.com/mbqa3\n\nThere are several on this forum who would disagree, however, when you have over 200 available--yeesh, what are the odds!\n_________________________________\n\nGravtol wanted me to get into specifics in regard to Messiah having two comings. I do not have time to give the twelve he is asking for (many people asking questions of me and my 11-year old is ill). But I will try to get things started and maybe others can chime in with other verses or types.\n\nGod set up several types to illustrate Messiah. Two of the greatest are Moses and Joseph. When Moses first came to the children of Israel, they did not recognize him. Rather they proclaimed, "Who made you a judge over us?" However, the second time, he led them out of bondage following great signs and plagues (foreshadow of Revelation).\n\nJoseph, when he first came to his brothers, he was rejected saying, "We will not have this favored of the father be ruler over us" and was thrown into a pit without water (symbol of sheol) then drawn out and sent to Egypt. The second time they see him, he is in glory and he reveals himself to them and rescues them from death. I go into some detail with this type in my study here... http://tinyurl.com/nchkw\n\nThis "first" and "second" coming types were illuded to by Stephen when he was speaking to the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians in Acts 6.\n\nAnother example is in Isaiah 61. Jesus quoted it in the synagogue early on in His ministry. \n\nIsaiah 61:1-2 \n"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God…’" \n\nJesus quoted this verse concerning Himself, but He didn’t quote the entire verse. Jesus knew exactly what part of the verse related to His first coming, and what part related to His second. And so we read in Luke 4:18-20 and He read from the scroll, but stopped mid sentence after saying that He was proclaiming the year of the Lord’s favour and then He ‘rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”\n\nThe ‘year of the Lord’s favour’ related to Jesus’ first coming. Jesus didn’t read the last part of this same verse in Isaiah 61 because the ‘day of vengeance of our God’ relates to His second coming.\n\nThen there is the timeline prophecy in Daniel http://tinyurl.com/hhmjt where it gives the date when Messiah was to come and die for a capitol crime (but not for Himself). Then at the end of the timeline, we see what is described as Jacob's trouble which is detailed in the Book of Revelation. But we have a promise that the Jews at that time will be rescued in Jeremiah 30:7.\n\n"Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it."\n\nThis saving will be done by Christ Himself, for it is prophesied in Isaiah 63 that He will go in to Bozrah where the Jews have fled persecution and will dye His vesture with the blood of His enemies who come against them.\n\nHere is a good newsletter on the subject...\nhttp://www.moriel.org/sermons/PDF/dec_98.pdf
