Duration: 23.26 minutes.
CC captions edited. The Bible says that the Lost Ten Tribes in the End Times will return from America in ships and planes crossing the Atlantic Ocean and from Western Areas.
In the 1600s Rabbi Manesseh ben Israel explained Biblical passages as referring to this.
He understood it would take place in the End Times as the Bible says.
Nevertheless, he was mistaken in thinking that the "End Times" meant his own era or close to it.
It may have meant our own time or close to it.

Megalithic Findings. The Stones Bear Witness.
'THIS STONE SHALL BE A WITNESS UNTO US' (Joshua 24:27): It was a megalithic monument. One of the characteristics of the Ancient Israelites was the frequent erection of megalithic monuments.
Jeremiah (31:21) commanded us to use the trail of megalithic monuments from the Land of Israel to the west as a proof of Israelite ancestry and migratory paths concerning the Lost Ten Tribes.
Jeremiah (NKJV) 31:
I HAVE SURELY HEARD EPHRAIM BEMOANING HIMSELF:
'YOU HAVE CHASTISED ME, AND I WAS CHASTISED,
LIKE AN UNTRAINED BULL (Hebrew 'aegel' pronounceable as 'Angle' and meaning 'bull-calf';
RESTORE ME, AND I WILL RETURN,
FOR YOU ARE THE LORD MY GOD.
19 SURELY, AFTER MY TURNING, I REPENTED;
AND AFTER I WAS INSTRUCTED, I STRUCK MYSELF ON THE THIGH;
I WAS ASHAMED, YES, EVEN HUMILIATED,
BECAUSE I BORE THE REPROACH OF MY YOUTH.'
20 IS EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON?
IS HE A PLEASANT CHILD?
FOR THOUGH I SPOKE AGAINST HIM,
I EARNESTLY REMEMBER HIM STILL;
THEREFORE MY [E]HEART YEARNS FOR HIM;
I WILL SURELY HAVE MERCY ON HIM, SAYS THE LORD.
21 'SET UP SIGNPOSTS,
MAKE LANDMARKS;
SET YOUR HEART TOWARD THE HIGHWAY,
THE WAY IN WHICH YOU WENT.
TURN BACK, O VIRGIN OF ISRAEL,
TURN BACK TO THESE YOUR CITIES.
The most literal explanation of this latter verse (31:21) amongst the
Classical Authoritative Rabbinical Commentary include that given by the
"Radak" (Rabbi David Kimchi, 1157-1236) of Narbonne, France. The Radak says:
#"SET YOURSELF UP WAYMARKS" (Jeremiah 31): This was directed to
the Community of Israel, that in the generation when they would be exiled
they should set up waymarks [i.e. "tsionim"] such as PILED-UP STONES OR
STONE MONUMENTS. The purpose of these monuments was to mark the paths [of
migration for the sake of future recognition]. The meaning was to say that
even though you will be exiled, hope is not lost and you are still destined
to return to these your cities. "MAKE YOURSELF HIGH HEAPS" [Hebrew:
"tamrurim"]. The same message is repeated though the wording is changed
since both "tamrurim" [i.e. "high heaps"] and "tsionim" (i.e. "waymarks")
connote elevated-height [from the root "tamar"]...
Bearing in mind that according to the previous verse (31:20)
Jeremiah is addressing himself to Ephraim, the verse in Jeremiah 31:21 may
therefore be understood to say:
#"Set yourself up stone monuments [menhirs, dolmens] and high
heaps of stones [cairns] [i.e. Megalithic monuments!]. Set your heart
towards the prepared way: The way in which you went. Turn back o virgin of
Israel, return unto these cities of yours.#
Jeremiah is saying that (for whatever reason) the exiled Israelites will have stone
monuments set up. Through these monuments Jeremiah predicts that it will be
possible in the future to learn of the Israelite paths of migration away
from the Land of Israel. Once this is learned it will serve as a means by
which they may be persuaded to return. The inferred commandment to the
exiles to erect "waymarks" ("tsionim") is therefore applicable to the dolmens and other
so-called "Stone-Age" ("Megalithic") monuments. Many of these monuments date
from the Bronze and Iron Age periods. They are mentioned in the Bible as
being set up by the Hebrew Patriarchs and Judges as well as by others.
Through Dolmens a good case may be made for tracing the
migrations of the Lost Ten Tribes to Western Europe.
Abarbanel (1437-1508): # The prophet therefore spoke concerning the Kingdom of Israel [of the Ten Tribes] SET THEE UP WAYMARKS saying that when you g into Exile make signs by the routes and waymarks like piles of rocks [i.e. cairns] or stone monuments [Hebrew: Matzavah, i.e. dolmen] so that you may set your heart to the route and remember in order that you may return in the way you went in, return to your city. #
In an Israeli Article on the "Eye of the Giant" also known as "Rujm el-Hiri" and as "Gilgal Refaim" it was said that the site contained all 12 types of dolmen. I only found one or two on the site itself but in the immediate neighborhood there are very many.

1 GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD BECAUSE HE IS GOOD, FOR HIS KINDNESS IS ETERNAL.
2 ISRAEL SHALL NOW SAY, "FOR HIS KINDNESS IS ETERNAL."
3 THE HOUSE OF AARON SHALL NOW SAY, "FOR HIS KINDNESS IS ETERNAL."
4 THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD SHALL NOW SAY, "FOR HIS KINDNESS IS ETERNAL."
5 FROM THE STRAITS I CALLED GOD; GOD ANSWERED ME WITH A VAST EXPANSE.
6 THE LORD IS FOR ME; I SHALL NOT FEAR. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?
7 THE LORD IS FOR ME WITH MY HELPERS, AND I SHALL SEE [REVENGE] IN MY ENEMIES.
8 IT IS BETTER TO TAKE SHELTER IN THE LORD THAN TO TRUST IN MAN.
9 IT IS BETTER TO TAKE SHELTER IN THE LORD THAN TO TRUST IN PRINCES.
10 ALL NATIONS SURROUNDED ME; IN THE NAME OF THE LORD THAT I SHALL CUT THEM OFF.
11 THEY ENCIRCLED ME, YEA THEY SURROUNDED ME; IN THE NAME OF THE LORD THAT I SHALL CUT THEM OFF.
12 THEY ENCIRCLED ME LIKE BEES; THEY WERE EXTINGUISHED LIKE A THORN FIRE; IN THE NAME OF THE LORD THAT I SHALL CUT THEM OFF.
13 YOU PUSHED ME TO FALL, BUT THE LORD HELPED ME.
14 THE MIGHT AND THE CUTTING POWER OF GOD WAS MY SALVATION.
15 A VOICE OF SINGING PRAISES AND SALVATION IS IN THE TENTS OF THE RIGHTEOUS; THE RIGHT HAND OF THE LORD DEALS VALIANTLY.
16 THE RIGHT HAND OF THE LORD IS EXALTED; THE RIGHT HAND OF THE LORD DEALS VALIANTLY.
17 I SHALL NOT DIE BUT I SHALL LIVE AND TELL THE DEEDS OF GOD.
18 GOD HAS CHASTISED ME, BUT HE HAS NOT DELIVERED ME TO DEATH.
19 OPEN FOR ME THE GATES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; I SHALL ENTER THEM AND THANK GOD.
20 THIS IS THE LORD'S GATE; THE RIGHTEOUS WILL ENTER THEREIN.
21 I SHALL THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU ANSWERED ME, AND YOU WERE MY SALVATION.
22 THE STONE THAT THE BUILDERS REJECTED BECAME A CORNERSTONE.
23 THIS WAS FROM THE LORD; IT IS WONDROUS IN OUR EYES.
24 THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD MADE; WE SHALL EXULT AND REJOICE THEREON.
25 PLEASE, O LORD, SAVE NOW! PLEASE, O LORD, MAKE PROSPEROUS NOW!
26 BLESSED BE HE WHO HAS COME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; WE HAVE BLESSED YOU FROM THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
27 THE LORD IS GOD, AND HE GAVE US LIGHT. BIND THE SACRIFICE WITH ROPES UNTIL [IT IS BROUGHT TO] THE CORNERS OF THE ALTAR.
28 YOU ARE MY GOD AND I SHALL THANK YOU; MY GOD, I SHALL EXALT YOU.
29 GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD BECAUSE HE IS GOOD, FOR HIS KINDNESS IS ETERNAL.
