We are often told that the Lost Tribes of Israel will be gathered. What does that mean? What else is in store for those that have been scattered to the far reaches of the Earth?
"O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity;" - Jeremiah 46:27
We know that they will be gathered and we also know that they will be saved from their captivity. In this day in age very few know who they are and are completely captive to their ignorance. God will save them from this and he will do much more.
"17 ¶Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath abroken his bones.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 And I will abring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will apardon them whom I reserve." -Jeremiah 50:17-20
As we can see these lost sheep have been through a lot. They have been beaten and broken but the Lord has not forgotten them. He will seek justice for their persecutors and he will pardon and reward those who have suffered.
Christ will plead their case just as he pleads for the souls of all men whom he died on the cross for. Salvation will be sought for the lost tribes. Those who have held them captive will be forced to let them go and the Lord will gather them just as he has promised.
