"For the first time ever, everything is in place for the battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ. It can’t be too long now. Ezekiel says that fire and brimstone will be rained upon the enemies of God’s people. That must mean that they will be destroyed by nuclear weapons.”
-- Ronald Reagan

News: Lost Tribe Found?

Tongkhohao Aviel Hangshing is not a name that you will find in the Bible. Hangshing, however, is one of the 5,000 Jews in the northeast Indian state of Manipur, an area the size of Washington D.C., between Myanmar and Bangladesh in South Asia.
The Jews here call themselves Benei Menashes. They say they are descendants of one of the ten lost tribes, the tribe of Manasseh, who fled along the Silk Road to India after the destruction of the Northern Kingdom in 721 B.C. In the Beith-el Synagogue in the Manipur capital, Imphal, visitors commonly see men with knitted skullcaps reading the Hebrew Scriptures.
In August, a delegation of Israeli rabbis led by Shlomo Amar spent a few days with the Benei Menashes, who have been practicing Judaism for more than 30 years. The rabbis are expected to issue a ruling soon on whether the Benei Menashes are Jews and thus have the right to return to Israel.

(User Info | Send a Message) | I was saying the above with with a little smile. How can one 'lost tribe' now say that 'they' belong to a different 'tribe' that is not "lost" but distroyed?
I do have a real quetion. what was the 'religion' of Israel called when King David ruled? And don't tell me it was Judeism.
