Descendants Of The Prophets and The End are not in distress.

12 boys this is the forerunner of the 12 tribes of Israel after they live and breed in Egypt because Joseph / Yusuf. princes there. But their life in Egypt gradually began to be felt disturbing by natives of Egypt, and they began to lose favor, their next generation Finally oppressed and enslaved by the Egyptians. Peak during the Ramses II (Pharaoh).
Then the twelve tribes are saved by God through Moses and Aaron. They came out of Egypt and commanded by the Lord to seize the area promised to them by the war. But they do not dare / lazy to go to war and the area is forbidden by God to them for 40 times.
After lontang lantung wandering over 40 times in the area of the desert no man's (now about Jordan), and then finally they could enter the promised area (Palestine) under the leadership Tholut (helped a young boy David) and they founded the kingdom of Israel (ancient) there the king is Tholut which was later replaced by David.
David, this is the expanding empire of ancient Israel to dominate the area of the river Euphrates to the Egyptian border. The area then parceled out to the twelve tribes of Israel were there.
One of the tribes that have coastal areas in the city of Eliah located on the Red Sea coast between the towns of Mad-yan and hills Thur, violate the provisions of the Sabbath and be their apes, despised
After the reign of King Solomon, the reign of King Rehoboam around 931 BC, the kingdom was divided into two because 10 tribes refusing to pay the inheritance tax rules Sulaiman high (according to them) are subjected to them, then they rebelled and established a new kingdom in the north and Jereboam I as their king.
So in the south is the kingdom of Judah / Judea capital in Jerusalem with the king was Rehoboam, consisting of two parts, namely the tribe of Judea and Benjamin, while the north is the northern kingdom of Israel thousands of cities in Samaria with 10 tribes.
In the year 721 BC, Samaria as the capital of the kingdom of northern Israel, invaded by the Assyrian army (Assyrian) led by Shalmaneser V and followed by Sargon II. And one year later defeated and destroyed Samaria.
Finally, residents of the Northern Kingdom of Israel is the 10 tribes of Israel were killed, detained, enslaved, exiled and banished to Khorason, which is now part of eastern Iran and western Afghanistan. History of these tribes then never heard from again, and trusted by the Jewish nation has now lost to history.
The war continued in the middle east. Powerful nations clashing with each other for the Middle East region. In the year 603 BC, the Assyrian power was replaced by the Babylonians (Babylonia).
In the reign of Babylon, the Southern Kingdom of Judah fell and Jerusalem was destroyed (597SM) and all its inhabitants captured and enslaved by the Babylonians. Was taken away in exile in Babylon.
60 years later, 538SM, the Persian Empire under King Cyrus II (Zulqornain) seized control of Babylon. Most of the tribe of Benjamin Jehuda and remaining in Babylon freed and allowed by the king Cyrus II to return to Judah and rebuild their temple which became known as the Second Jewish Temple.
But the other ten tribes of Israel, the people of the Kingdom of the North Isreal, never to return as the two tribes. So they dubbed the "Ten Lost Tribes of Israel"
About 600 years later, about 70 AD, the Romans destroyed the Second Jewish Temple, kill and pull apart the people of Judea, so they spread to the rest of the world until the advent of the 20th century Zionism.
Today many theories linking a tribe with tribe-this lost tribe of Israel. One theory says that the Scythians, who appeared in history at the time of disposal of the ten tribes were derived from these lost tribes of Israel. But this theory is weak and lacks credibility.
