Who knows if the house of Israel were still of the circumcized or not? They didn't follow many of God's laws and for that reason God scattered them.

According to Paul, when he was before King Agrippa, all twelve tribes were still earnestly serving God and striving for the hope of the promise of God to them, so they were all obviously still in existence and of the circumcision.

Acts 26:7: And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

Luke 2:36: Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.

Clearly the "lost" tribes of Israel were not "lost" at all, for there in Jerusalem was a member of the tribe of Asher - one of those ten tribes - who still served God, and who lived in the actual land of Israel.

...Israel was scattered about 745-722 B.C by the Assyrians, went north over the mountains and settled in the americas.....

I would be interested in any specific evidence, scriptural or otherwise, that the 10 tribes wound up in America.

Thats why im trying to get you to read 1 kings and then once you see the split you can just simply track the houses,,,,,but yes the 10 tribes went north over the mountains and settled in the americas,,,,remember this has alot to do with pure ole history........

Ezekiel 34:5 "And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered."

Ezekiel 34:6 "My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, My flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them."

YO if you wanna we can track them but I say again,,,,,, alot of this is history,,,,,and I havent heard a scholar yet say the ten tribes didnt go north over the mountains,,,,The caucus mountains,,,hey you think thats where the name caucasians come from??????

Here's something cool, NM.

The ark landed on the hills of mount Ararat in what is modern day Armenia.

Gen 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

"This landing-place of the ark is extremely interesting in connection with the development of the human race as renewed after the flood. Armenia, the source of the rivers of paradise, has been called “a cool, airy, well-watered mountain-island in the midst of the old continent;†but Mount Ararat especially is situated almost in the middle, not only of the great desert route of Africa and Asia, but also of the range of inland waters from Gibraltar to the Baikal Sea-in the centre, too, of the longest line that can be drawn through the settlements of the Caucasian race and the Indo-Germanic tribes; and, as the central point of the longest land-line of the ancient world, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Behring Straits, it was the most suitable spot in the world, for the tribes and nations that sprang from the sons of Noah to descend from its heights and spread into every land..."

-Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament

Noah's family spread out over all of the land there... (I believe the Hebrew word used for "earth" here (and in most of the flood story is actually "land"))

Gen 9:19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.

Some of Noah's family went South to live in Iraq with the "Chaldean" people.

Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

Then Abram's dad left Iraq and went into Canaan (Israel)

Gen 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

From Armenia (by Russia's Georgia) to Iraq to Israel. Long way from where the ark landed.

When you read the preceeding verse you get a complete understanding....

• * Acts 26:6-7 And now I stand and am juded for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews

.

God's promise was made unto the fathers (long, long ago). To all of Israel, all tribes. However, it wasn't all the tribes accusing Paul...just the Jews. (Judah and Benjamine...house of Judah)

Luke 2:36: Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.

Clearly the "lost" tribes of Israel were not "lost" at all, for there in Jerusalem was a member of the tribe of Asher - one of those ten tribes - who still served God, and who lived in the actual land of Israel.

When the northern tribes rebelled their king created new places of worship to keep his new subjects under his control. Some of the ten tribes still went to Jerusalem to worship and lived there. Too, there were marriages of folks between tribes. If one of the tribe of Asher, as Anna was, married someone of Judah then she would remain with her husband and his family....in Jerusalem.

The ten northern tribes were scattered purposefully by our Father and remain so today.
