Many have been given the knowledge by the Lord as to what their tribal lineage is, but many others long to know. Until I was asked what tribe of Israel I was a part of I had never given it any thought. I am sure that most Christians fit into this category. Since then I have learned that there are spiritual lessons to be learned from all the tribes' blessings, regardless of your own particular tribal affiliation.

I am talking of course about spiritual Israel and not natural Israel. To be a natural descendent of one of the tribes you would naturally have to be of Jewish descent. At least, this is what we have been led to believe, but the truth is that the Tribe of Judah is where the reference to the Jews came from. Jacob was not a Jew and Eleven of the Twelve Tribes were not Jews. It might surprise you to find out that most caucasians are descendents of one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Read also my article on The Lost Tribes of Israel in which I go into great detail about the origin of caucasians. There is a spiritual Israel and anyone who has named the name of Jesus has been born a spiritual Jew. ( Read Paul's writings in Romans 9) I am talking, however, about the direct linage to each of the Tribes.
