We were asked,
Are the Vikings, Danes, Celts, Angles, Jutes, Saxons part of the lost tribes of Israel?
The Lost Ten Tribes moved to the west. They became all or part of the peoples you mentioned as well as other others. After being exiled by the Assyrians the Ten Tribes of Israel moved in different directions.
(1. A portion went to the west via the Mediterranean. This was part of an organized colonization using Edomite Phoenician and Philistine proxies as overseers in Assyrian service.
(2. Other Israelites were taken to the north. From there they moved further northward and then westwards into western Europe.
They are identified with the Peoples of Gomer and referred to as Lost Israelites in Hosea chs, 1 and 2.
Hosea (NASB) 1:
2 When the LORD first spoke through Hosea...3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. ....
6 Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said to him, 'Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them.
7 But I will have compassion on the house of Judah and deliver them by the LORD their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, battle, horses or horsemen.'
8 When she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and gave birth to a son. 9 And the LORD said, €˜Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people and I am not your God. 10 Yet the number of the sons of Israel
Will be like the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered;
And in the place
Where it is said to them,
'You are not My people,'
It will be said to them,
'You are the sons of the living God.'
11 And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be gathered together,
And they will appoint for themselves one leader,
And they will go up from the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel.Hosea 2:
23 I will sow her for Myself in the land.
I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion,
And I will say to those who were not My people,
You are My people!
And they will say, You are my God!
