Bible Note: Norrie It is interesting according to Chronology in the Bible that Noah lived 350 years after the flood and died 2 years before Abraham was born. However, Shem, Noah's son lived 502 years after the flood. He knows Abraham for 150 years and Isaac for 50 years. The geneology of Jesus is traced back to King David through Joseph the husband of Mary his mother. In Matthew 1 we see the Lord Jesus as King, thus we are given the genealogy of a King. In Luke 3:23 we are given the genealogy of Jesus traced from Mary his mother back to Adam. Luke portrays the humanity of Christ as the Son of Man. At this moment I cannot give you much information on the 10 Lost Tribes except we know their names and that God has plans for them in a future day. Revelation 7: 4-8 The reason we have information today on ancient peoples is that in their times genealogy was very important. Thus, today we can find much in the Bible along with other ancient writings which is constantly being confirmed by Archaeology. For example, it is only in recent years that a dig a Haran revealed information on Terah Abraham's father thus confirming the Bible which tells us Abraham moved from Ur to Haran. I would agree with you that the Anglo Saxon people of England have not descended from the lost tribes and are in fact a Gentile nation. Regarding Joseph and Mary having other children: There is not much written on this and I do not know of any genealogy on them. The important thing to remember is that in Genesis 3:15 after humans became sinners by disobedience, God promised them a redeemer who would come via the seed of the woman. As we look at the genealogy of Mary we see the grace of God as down through the ages he chooses those who would bring this promise to fulfilment. We thank God that "when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his son..."(Galations 4:4) God bless Robert |
