"The scattering
of Israel: The Lord scattered and afflicted the twelve tribes of Israel
because of their unrighteousness and rebellion. However, the Lord also
used this scattering of his chosen people among the nations of the world
to bless those nations.... The Lord gathers his people Israel when they
accept him and keep his commandments.... The ten lost tribes of Israel:
The ten tribes of Israel made up the northern kingdom of Israel and
were carried away captive into Assyria in 721 B.C. At that time they
went to the “north countries” and became lost to the knowledge of others.
In the last days they will return." (Guide

they are living in the world." (Guide

"At the beginning
of the Millennial Era, Christ will return to the earth. This event will

while the earth is cleansed. While no man knows exactly when Christ
will come for the second time, he has given us signs to watch for that
indicate the time is drawing near (Matt. 24; JS-M 1)." (Guide
to the Scriptures, Second Coming of Jesus Christ)
