When over 23,000 clay cuneiform tablets were found in the excavations
of the Assyrian Royal Library of Ashurbanipal in ancient Nineveh, their relevance
to the nation of Israel was initially overlooked. This was undoubtedly because
they were in complete disorder and among hundreds of miscellaneous texts
dealing with many matters of State. Contributing to this oversight was
the fact that the Assyrians called the
Israelites
by different names during
their captivity.
Some of the tablets found were dated around 707 B.C. and reveal the
fate of the Israelites as they escaped from the land of their captivity
and "disappeared" into the hinterland of Europe. These tablets form the
"Missing Links" that enable us to identify the modern-day descendants
of the "Lost Tribes of Israel". In doing so, we increase our knowledge
of Bible history and experience a dramatic revision of our pre-conceived
ideas of Bible prophecy.
In this authoritative book, the author reviews the origin and history
of the Israelites; surveys the Assyrian inscriptions and cuneiform tablets
that record the deportations of Israel as they relate to Biblical and secular
history; discusses their sojourn in captivity, and provides a synopsis of
their migrations to their new homelands. Other authors fill in the details.
