The Jews had been studying their scriptures for thousands of years. They well knew what to expect.Well for one thing, you got those Prophecy's all mix up.
As did Israel back at that time.
The Messiah is repeatedly said to be the seed of David and be a king like David.Where Jesus was to come as the Lamb of God
Israel misunderstood the scriptures and thought Jesus was to come as a king.
This is nowhere in the Hebrew scriptures.Jesus coming as a king wasn't to happen until his second coming and not his first coming.
No, the tribes were scattered long before this with the Assyrian invasion.And as for the 12 tribes of Israel, all the 12 tribes we're there at the time of Jesus, so there would be no gathering together of the 12 tribes.
The 12 tribes of Israel didn't get scattered until around the year 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed.
The disciple James wrote about the 12 tribes of Israel, in his book of James 1:1
"James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting"
Except they weren't.So there were no lost tribes of Israel, seeing all the 12 tribes of Israel were there at the time of Jesus.
The 12 tribes of Israel didn't get scattered until around the year 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed. And then the 12 tribes of Israel were scattered throughout the known world at that time.
The Assyrian captivity (or the Assyrian exile) is the period in the history of Ancient Israel and Judah during which several thousand Israelites of ancient Samaria were resettled as captives by Assyria. This is one of the many instances of forcible relocations implemented by the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The Northern Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian monarchs, Tiglath-Pileser III (Pul) and Shalmaneser V. The later Assyrian rulers Sargon II and his son and successor, Sennacherib, were responsible for finishing the twenty-year demise of Israel's northern ten-tribe kingdom, although they did not overtake the Southern Kingdom. Jerusalem was besieged, but not taken. The tribes forcibly resettled by Assyria later became known as the Ten Lost Tribes.
The captivities began in approximately 740 BCE (or 733/2 BCE according to other sources).[1]
No, it's Christians who need to repurpose prophecy because they believe in Jesus first and try to find prophecies to fit him later.You see what your doing is the same thing that Israel did, is get the Prophecy's all mix up.
Where Christ was to come as the Lamb of God.
Israel misunderstood the Prophecy's and had Christ coming as a king.
As for Christ coming as a king will happen at his second coming.
