Khazaria was a Jewish state that flourished from the Ural Mountains in Russia to the Black Sea from the 8th to the 10th centuries. While many Khazars converted to Judaism in the 8th century, it is possible some of the lost tribes journeyed north from the Middle East and settled in Khazar territory. To learn more about the lost tribes, visit Moshiach.

God had promised Abraham that He would give his children the Israelites some fine new homelands eventually. He promised the same for Abraham's beautiful wife Sarah: "And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her" Genesis Genesis And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.
What a family Abraham and Sarah started! The single nation of ancient Israel produced numerous nations descended from her 12 tribes thousands of years later in our day. Tracking these tribes in the Bible is easy, but we are now tracking them through history from their captivity forward to now. Where did the tribes go? Let's look at a key, directional prophecy talking about where God will bring Israel back from at Christ's return.
Those from the north and the west, and these from the land of Sinim" Isaiah Isaiah Behold, these shall come from far: and, see, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. In the Bible, unless otherwise noted, all directions are oriented to Jerusalem. So the tracks must ultimately head north and west which they do. This is a compass bearing for the modern nations of Israelite origin: follow the landmass to the northwest. The tribes now grown into nations are located in northwest Europe and beyond to North America and elsewhere.
Parts of the tribes immediately went northwest; others waited a few centuries in the east in what is now Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and even up to the outer borders of China before they migrated west and north.
The Scythians and Cimmerians were both groupings of the tribes of Israel. Assyria drafted a number into its armies soon after the captivity. They rose to some power in the empire and finally had an opportunity to help bring down their former oppressor before B. Quite early, elements of the Cimmerians migrated west across Asia Minor today's Turkey conquering or fighting whoever stood in their path until they linked and merged with the Celts already in northwest Europe and Britain.
The Celts were kinsmen Israelites who had migrated centuries earlier to found trade and mining colonies. Alexander the Great gave Greece and Macedonia their day in the sun, but he died early leaving the four divisions of his empire to four major generals which is also a fulfilled prophecy described in Daniel 8, especially verses 8 and He also hastened ongoing migrations of Cimmerians further into northwest Europe where they were called Celts by the Greeks and Gauls by the Romans.
Some of the highly mobile eastern Scythians, the Saka or Sacae, moved north and temporarily east, harassing the borders of China. The Roman Republic had grown powerful and was often in conflict with various elements of the Gauls their name for Celts to their north.
But the one power that Rome could never conquer was the Parthian Empire. Other tribal trails are more challenging to trace, and not everyone interested in tracking the tribes comes to the same conclusions.
Some of these may also have been, or included, displaced Israelites. Citing Chinese histories and the geographic work of Ortellius who drew maps based on legendary, ancient sources, Mr.
Davidy tells the story of Parthia and her neighboring tribes The Tribes, pp. Parthia started as a kingdom of Scythians at the south end of the Caspian Sea and began to flex its muscle about B. Allied with other Scythian and Saka groupings, they built an empire controlling all trade on the Silk Road to China.
