The Lost Tribes of Israel and John the Baptist

For the Mass Readings on the 2nd Sunday of Advent (Year C), Dr. Pitre comments on John the Baptist and the New Exodus that he proclaims. Setting the stage for a time of great corruption both within Israel's hierarchy and the Roman leadership of the time, Luke begins his Gospel by telling us the time in which John the Baptist comes on to the scene to proclaim the coming of the Messiah, and for his listeners to "prepare a way," which has overtones of the first "way" in the desert from the first exodus, as well as the expectation of the ingathering of the Lost tribes of Israel.
Notable quote from this week's video from the 2nd Sunday of Advent (Year C):
"First, notice the fact that Luke is clearly not writing mythology. He’s also clearly not writing a fairytale, right. No fairytale begins, "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar," you know, "during the governorship of Pontius Pilate."
​That’s not how fairytales begin. Fairytales begin with once upon a time, right. So Luke is clearly talking about history. So what we’re preparing for during Advent and what we’re going to celebrate during Christmas is not some myth. It's an actual historical event that took place in real space and real time, and the gospels describe it as such. "

I always wondered if the 12 Apostles had their origin from each original tribe. But most likely not because there were several brothers in their group who would have been of the same tribe.

[@lenormand4967]

They're all of Benjamin, the light of Israel. Except for the betrayer, Judas, who was an Edomite from "Judea.". Judea was full on non Israelites. Thus Benjamin was in Galilee. James wrote to the "twelve tribes of Israel scattered abroad.". They were not lost, just scattered abroad. All returned to Europe, where the Biblical Jerusalem was located. Biblical Persia was in Europe and was centered in Hungary. Egypt was in Europe,. The first temple was by Thebes. The second was elsewhere. Judah's territory was the entire Mediterranean Basin coast, including the Greek and Italian peninsulas. New Jerusalem is "The City," later called Rome. It was the original, by which Noah planted vineyards He landed in Albion, but didn't remain there. Britain was also known as "the isle of Syria" and Aram. Damascus was where London stands. However, Edom was in the East, and included Idumea, where the fake Jerusalem now stands. It was founded in the 4th century AD. In the 5th century, the Edomites finished their Satanic Talmud. Then they created Islam to war against the Church. They used Ebionite doctrine. Alexander the Great renamed Aeria to Egypt and called the Eastern border Idumea. After the word, "jew" was selectively added to confuse (1765 AD), people were tricked into thinking of these ieuds/Edomites as Judahites. The three houses of Judah never went by that designation. Phares, Zara, Shelah can be traced. Phares includes the Greco Rahman royals, and French. The French include the line of Aaron, and Benjamin. Gaul/France was Galilee. It went to the north of Italy. However, the sea of Galilee crossing was in the north Adriatic.

[@michaelhaywood8262]

@@lenormand4967 These ideas are very far-fetched to say the least.

[@neilhaverly4117]

Don't forget that the tribes gathered in the end are twelve foundations deep. It's supposed to be everyone and everything, how else could you get the numbers of the Stars and the sands of the seas, as was promised to Abraham.

[@Sigibert]

What bible does he use in this ?

[@nhartigan72]

There is a theory though. Some think many from those 10 tribes of Israel fled the Assyrians & found refuge in Jerusalem. I've heard there was a population boom in Jerusalem at that time (likely refugees) around the western hill, Jerusalem grew by nearly 15 times in population & 2nd Chronicles 32: 5 talks about how King Hezekiah built up another wall outside of the original, which makes one question if this was to encompass the refugees? In this case, God would've used Jerusalem as a sheep pen, gathering all the tribes, saving a remnant of all, as the Assyrian army conquered many cities of Judah, but they were struck by God before they could take Jerusalem.

Galatians 4, the Heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother. All of the Seed of Judah ended with her.

[@70AD-user45]

You're wrong about the Second Exodus. This was when the righteous remnant in the 1st century were coming out of the age of "sin and death" in the Old Covenant age, and into the "grace and life" of the New Covenant age of the Church. It started in 30 AD (Day of Pentecost) and when the 40 year spiritual Exodus was over, the Old Covenant temple was destroyed in 70 AD. The was the end of the Old Covenantal age and the consummation of the "new heavens and earth". The "new heavenly Jerusalem" spiritually came down from the heavenly realm in 70 AD at the birth of the New Covenant age.

[@TheKingAmongThem]

70 AD no.

[@SaintCharbelMiracleworker]

No, just no

[@debraleslie3131]

Was the apostles from seperate tribes....wait some were brothers?...are the apostles represented in astrology...zodiak...??

[@johnwachowicz1966]

Debra Leslie no, astrology has been condemned by the Church. We do have a wonderful liturgical calendar to flavour the year!

[@jessedaughtry4433]

The apostles except Judas were all true Israelites of the tribe of Benjamin mostly. Judas was a Jew just like the serpents and synagogues of Satan.

[@jasonlowery5966]

Donald JOHN Trump is quite a wild man also. His mother’s name, same as John the Baptist, her names Elizebeth. Trump declared Jerusalem capitol 70 years to the day it became a nation, may 14, 2018. Its still to be revealed, but that wild man strives a tone with this member of the tribe of Ephraim. The Lord gets what He Wants! Prepare Brothers!

[@user-gl9jd3ih8h]

Hi Jason. Donald Trump is evil and should never be equated with John the Baptist. Trump is an awful man!!!

So what really happened is that Peter, Paul and a few other guys were watching Mary Magdalene and her friends take their weekly baths in the river. After they left they saw Jesus and John up river and they were playing some kind of naked dunking game. So Peter says, "Hey, what are you guys doing?" Jesus and John were caught off guard so John says, "Oh... um.... I'm dunking Jesus in the river like that story we heard in school about Achilles. You know, make him immortal." So the guys kinda say, "Oh, ok, whatever." As they are walking away Peter says, "Those two are always playing grab ass somewhere while the rest of us men are spying on the ladies." Then Paul says, "That John guy is Batshit Crazy, and now he's playing some naked dunking game with Jesus. I mean.... not that there's anything wrong with that." So from then on they referred to John as "John the Batshit". Move ahead a few centuries, several different language translations of the story, and "Batshit" became "Baptist". So basically the whole baptizing ritual is due to a couple of gay naked guys dunking each other and playing grab ass in a river.
