Extract:
The Promised Land reaches from the Nile to Euphrates. Zechariah (10:10) and Micah (7:14) indicate that at first the returnees will occupy the areas of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. On the other hand, Jeremiah (31:5) indicates that the returnees will also be found in Samaria to the north of Jerusalem in the present-day West Bank.
Zechariah 10:
7 Then the people of Ephraim shall become like warriors,
  and their hearts shall be glad as with wine. Their children shall see it and rejoice,
  their hearts shall exult in the Lord
8 I will signal for them and gather them in,for I have redeemed them,
  and they shall be as numerous as they were before.
9 Though I scattered them among the nations,
  yet in far countries they shall remember me,
  and they shall rear their children and return.
10 I will bring them home from the land of Egypt,
  and gather them from Assyria; I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon,
  until there is no room for them.
Micah 7:
14 Shepherd your people with your staff,
  the flock that belongs to you,
which lives alone in a forest
  in the midst of a garden land;
let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
  as in the days of old.
Jeremiah 31:
3 the Lord appeared to him from far away.
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
  therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
4 Again I will build you, and you shall be built,
  O virgin Israel!
Again you shall take your tambourines,
  and go forth in the dance of the merrymakers.
5 Again you shall plant vineyards
  on the mountains of Samaria;
the planters shall plant,
  and shall enjoy the fruit.
6 For there shall be a day when sentinels will call
  in the hill country of Ephraim:
'Come, let us go up to Zion,
  to the Lord our God.'
7 For thus says the Lord:
Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
  and raise shouts for the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
'Save, O Lord, your people,
  the remnant of Israel.'
8 See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north,
  and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth,
among them the blind and the lame,
  those with child and those in labour, together;
  a great company, they shall return here.
9 With weeping they shall come,
  and with consolations I will lead them back,
I will let them walk by brooks of water,
  in a straight path in which they shall not stumble;
for I have become a father to Israel,
  and Ephraim is my firstborn.

(b) YouTube Clip. Awakening Queries. Questions Asked During the Arousal of Hebrew Ancestral Consciousness
Duration:Â 15.47Â minutes
Many Gentiles today feel they are descended from Jews or from Israelites of the Lost Ten Tribes. Others are simply drawn to Biblical and/or Jewish concepts. This is part of a phenomenon leading up to the Messianic Era. Individuals who experience an awakening along these lines often ask the same type of questions.

2. Jeremiah ch.31 and the Return of the Ten Tribes of Israel.
For our purposes chapter 31 of Jeremiah is on of the most important sections of the Bible.
To see a condensed version of our Commentary to this chapter, go to:
http://www.britam.org/Jeremiah29to32.html
Scroll Down to:
Jeremiah 31
The chapter deals (amongst other things) with the reunification of Judah and the Ten Tribes; a return to the Mountains of Samaria and the Hills of Ephraim on the West Bank; the linkage of North Country, coasts of the earth, Israel, Ephraim, and "Isles afar off"; Aegel (Bull-Calf) meaning Ephraim and being pronounced as "Angle" as in Anglo-Saxon and England (Angle-Land); the exhortation (31:21) to the Ten Tribes to set up Megalithic monuments to enable them to prove their Israelite Ancestry in the future; the need for the Ten Tribes to take the initiative in returning; etc.
Jeremiah 31:
31 The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 32It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband,* says the Lord. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, 'Know the Lord', for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.

3. More Proof of Israelite Origin in List of
Top Ten Most Powerful Countries in the World.
We have shown that amongst the Biblical Proofs of Israelite Ancestor are to be included:
Military Might
http://www.britam.org/Proof/Joseph/joMilitaryPower.html
and being a
Dominant World Power
http://www.britam.org/Proof/Joseph/joDominant.html
We especially emphasized the application of these Prophecies to Joseph but the blessings also applied to other Tribes.
The top ten most powerful countries in the world based on the 2012 National Power Index are the USA, China, Russia, France, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, India, Canada and Israel.
http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-top-ten/world-top-ten-powerful-countries-map.html
The list includes the State of Israel at no.10. Even though Israel is at the end of the list its national Power Index shows the difference between Israel and most of those above it is not that great.

Countries (National Power Index in parentheses):
United States (77.771)
China (58.662)
Russia (43.363)
France (43.244)
Japan (42.95)
UKÂ (41.426)
Germany (39.777)
India (35.48)
Canada (32.869)
Israel (32.1910)
In the above list three countries (USA, UK, Canada), may be associated with Joseph; one (France) with Reuben; and one (Israel) with Judah. That givers us 5 out of 10 with the USA well at the top.
China, Russia, and Japan (in part) are nations of Magog.
Japan and Germany are nations of Edom.
India is Cush.
