About this listen

The ten lost tribes of Israel aren't actually a mystery. We know exactly what happened to them - and the real answer is more chilling than any theory about Ethiopia or the British Isles.

In this episode we trace the rise of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the most feared power in the ancient world, and the systematic policy they used to dismantle conquered peoples - not just militarily, but structurally. We cover the fall of the northern kingdom in 722 BC, Jerusalem's unlikely survival under Sennacherib in 701 BC, and what Isaiah, Jonah, and Nahum together say about a God who governs even the most brutal empires in history.

Includes: Sennacherib's own annals, the Lachish reliefs, Sargon II's deportation records, and 2 Kings 17's explanation of why Israel really fell.
