The time after the birth of Jesus and His teaching in the Temple at age 12, is taken up by at least several years in Egypt. Matthew 2:13-15
What everyone seems to have missed, is where the holy family lived from when Jesus was 12, Luke 2:41-52, until He was 30.

It seems that Joseph, Jesus' father by law, died soon after the Temple incident and it was His kinsman, Joseph of Arimathea [uncle?] who took Mary and all her children to Britain, where he had mining interests and they lived in Glastonbury, as recorded by tradition. The hymn: 'Jerusalem' makes this assertion.
His next Bible recorded appearance is His Baptism. Matthew 3:13-17

Jesus was away for about 18 years, so He and His family were aliens when they returned to Nazareth, proved by how He had to pay the Temple tax imposed on strangers. Matthew 17:24-27
Jesus was also unknown to most of the 12 men He selected as His Disciples. If He had been living in Nazareth for all of His 30 years, they surely would have known Him.

The truth of all this, raises some very interesting and important questions. Who are the British people? Where did they originate from?

It is provable from the archaeological, historical, heraldic and Biblical records, that they are part of the House of Israel, who migrated across Europe from Assyria. Specifically; the tribe of Ephraim: Prophesied to become a multitude of nations; the British Commonwealth. Genesis 48:19
Blessed with good land and strength. Deuteronomy 33:13-17

That these facts are rejected and are unable to be comprehended by scholars, is because God wants it to be kept secret until the end times, then God’s amazing mystery will be revealed. Amos 9:9, Revelation 7:9

Abrahams descendants by ethnicity and faith: all His faithful Christian peoples, out of every race, nation and language; kept ready for their destiny of being the occupiers of all of the holy Land during the end times. Psalms 69:35-36

British Israelism. Herbert W Armstrong would be proud of you.
The usual tired old accusations.
Without a smidgen of refutation or any alternative theories.

What I promote is not 'British Israel', but how the House of Israel does exist and is now scattered around the world. Soon to be gathered back int all of the Holy Land. Isaiah 11:11-13, Romans 9:24-26

I thought it was very interesting a few years back when it came to light the Irish had dna origins coming from the Middle East and biblical regions.

Everyone likes to tie all of Israel into a few tribes, Judah, Benjamin and some of Levi but it doesn't fit. The rest scattered and have not been joined back together -yet. That's why Abraham's seed is like the sand of the sea. But again, people like to tie the today Israel as the entire house and it's not.

Yes, lost to the people of today, not to God thankfully.

The" 10 "lost tribes of Isreal lost their identity ,not their way, that's what made them lost. They remained lost because they chose not to be part of the remnant, the core group who heeded to the God of Isreal . You will find many people all over the world with Semitic roots , in particular Jewish but, not no tribes.

The truth is - Jesus came to save the Lost House of Israel. Matthew 15:24
The Jews rejected Him and cursed themselves. Matthew 27:25

These are undeniable Biblical facts.
Now: The House of Judah faces punishment and only a few will survive. The House of Israel has mainly become Christian, but those who revolt and rebel will not enter the Holy Land. Ezekiel 20:33-38

I suggest you Google British Israelism and you will find kindred ideas.
B.I. focuses on the English/ Ephraim leadership of Israel. Which is Biblically correct.
But all of the 10 Northern tribes will again be present in all of the Holy Land. The remnant of Judah will join with them. Jeremiah 50:4-5 They will be made up of peoples from every tribe, race, nation and language. Isaiah 66:18b-21, Revelation 7:9
But YOU provide NO proof...
Seems you didn't bother to look up the scriptures I provided. Try this time; Isaiah 11:11-13, Romans 9:24-27 [Which is a quote from Hosea 1:10]

Israel had 3 fathers, not just Abraham, all from Sarah.

Abraham had other children after Sarah's passing (Genesis 25:1-4)

Therefore, being Abraham's descendant alone is not sufficient to be considered Israel.

Or you could do a search for Orthodox Jewish scholar and historian Yair Davidiy to have essentially the same idea explained from a very Jewish perspective.

Regarding the time between Jesus aged 12 and Jesus aged 30, we read after Him going missing in the temple:

“Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.” (Lu 2:51 NKJV)

Nothing about making a journey to Britain.

Nothing about making a journey to Britain.
Nothing about what the family did do in that 18 year gap.
We do know from the historical record, that trading ships went regularly to England, or to Marseilles, then overland to Calais, then Dover. They traded for lead, tin, plus grain, etc. Joseph of Arimathea was a rich man, he got rich by trading and shipping those items to Rome, It would have been profitable.

The many traditional stories and legends, supported by the hymn 'Jerusalem', reasonably; must have some basis in truth. But if God does not want it known, then your stance is quite understandable.

Isaiah 11:11 ...I will exert My Power a second time., to gather My people from around the world. Verse 13...from Ephrain and Judah.....
Romans 9:24-26....those who were not My people, I will call My people.....in the very place they, [ancient Israel] were rejected, you [Christians] will be called the sons of the Living God.

Doesn't seem to be anything out of context, or incorrectly interpreted. Your one line assertions do not count for much.

All. that read Eze 37:1 and more verses Christ make Israel TO BE. BORN AGAIN. !!

And will also see TWO STICKS !!

One STICK. for. for Israel !

And ONE STICK for Judah and then will become ONE STICK !!

And. being. BORN AGAIN. does not means for salvation for. TODAY !!

And this will happen after the Body of Christ is gone !!

Role Reversal:
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
However, it is only a few of the many generations of believers since the time of Jesus, who have understood the truth of how the amazing role reversals in God’s great plan have unfolded in world history. Consider; Jacob - Esau, Joseph - Reuben.
The majority who have been taught only part of the Gospel, now naively believe that Israel, namely the Jewish people as an ethnic group still have a place in God’s plan and the Christians will be removed to safety.

Amos 3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 2:4-5
As everyone knows, the Jewish nation refused the leadership of Jesus Christ and they cursed themselves. Matthew 27:25
Despite the fact of the free gift of the Lord’s unmerited favour being now available to all peoples, many Christians refuse to accept any termination of God’s grace towards physical Israel, instead insisting the salvation of all the Jews in Christ will happen when Jesus Returns. They do this because the separation of Israel and the Church is an immutable tenet of the rapture theory.

But the Old Testament prophets stated the redemption of the remnant of Israel was to happen in a way that would cause the roles to reverse when it occurred.
In the passage that speaks of Israel as the “clay” and the Lord as the “potter,” Jeremiah 18:1-6, saw how the Lord was going to reconfigure Israel from a flesh and blood family into a spiritual entity, through Jesus. John 3:16
Romans 9:8…It isn’t the children of Abraham by natural descent who are the people of God, but all those born into God’s Promise, Jesus, who are the true children of faith.

Isaiah 29:14-16 & Habakkuk 1:5 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a great work and a wonder…Surely Your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? You will not believe this work when you are told of it.
The “work”, or the object of the potter’s effort, was the advent of Jesus and His atoning sacrifice for all people and it was performed to fulfill God’s promise to bring about the spiritual Israel of God, consisting of individuals from every race, nation and language. Revelation 5:9-10

As the Apostle Paul spoke Romans 9:21 to the Jews who rejected the salvation offered by Jesus, he indicated the long prophesied role reversal, in which the Lord’s chosen people transitioned from an ethnic family to a Spiritual body, had occurred in the astonishing life of the carpenter from Nazareth: Matthew 28:19

Acts 13:26-27 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the Word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, that they have fulfilled those prophesies in condemning Jesus.

And what I am reading , its context , seems to be speaking about Isreal. , in. Acts 16:43. -45 and. in. verse 46 , Paul

TURNS to the Gentiles as what happened in. Acts 28: 25-28. !!

It is; to the true Israel of God, as scripture makes clear;
Romans 9:8It isn’t the children of Abraham by natural descent who are the people of God, but all those born into God’s Promise, Jesus, who are the true children of faith.

Thinking that the current occupiers of a small part of the Holy Land, who call themselves Israel; are the true Israel - is a serious error.
