Many, if not most, Bible prophecies relate to Israel and God's plan for the salvation of humanity. In order to be able to make any sense out of the many prophecies about what will happen in the End Time, it is necessary to have some understanding of who and where the lost tribes of Israel are today.

Below is a list of the major countries that represent the majority of the lost tribes. Although this information is based on historical and linguistic evidence not all Israelites can be identified with absolute certainty. Research indicates that those descended from Israel (Jacob) are among the world's wealthiest nations and occupy the world's choicest land. God will make very sure these nations have the good news message of the Kingdom proclaimed to them before the return of Jesus.
