Jesus – the son of God, came for the lost people of Israel to unite them. Who are the lost tribes of Israel? Who are the tribes of Israel? Who is Israel?
Israel is Jacob, the blessed son of Isaac, twin brother of Esau. Who is Isaac? The only legal and blessed son of Abraham. Who is Abraham? The First prophet of the Lord after destruction of Earth during Noah’s time. Who is Noah? The only good person in the Earth during that time, as per Old Testament. Who is The Lord? The only God, our heavenly Father who forgives us.
Why was Abraham chosen? Because he was good. “Be Good and you shall be chosen and blessed”, the Lord would say, I guess.
Coming back, Israel had 12 sons,
- Reuben
- Simeon
- Levi
- Judah
- Issachar
- Zebulun
- Dan
- Naphtali
- Gad
- Asher
- Joseph
- Benjamin
Joseph was sold to Egypt by his own brothers, that is, the above people except Benjamin because he was small or some other reason. In Egypt, Joseph married with other people. The Lord gave him 2 sons Manesseh and Ephraim. Due to a famine, Israelites came to Joseph in Egypt. Jacob while on his death bed blessed Ephraim that he will rule over Manesseh the elder one. For 600 years, the Israelite were in Egypt, soon they were made slaves.
