I was reading up on things saying that the native american are the lost tribes of israel, some say they found genetics linking to the jewish people. Whay i find remarkable is the indigenous people of japan, called the ainu. They are actually cacaisian white, yet they are japan's indigenous people from when the first settlers which were the exiled chinese came over and took the land we call japan. Could Ainu be jews or what about native?
To begin to answer your question, you must first understand what it means to be a Jew; Judaish; the tribe of Judah. Search the scriptures on this.
What you will discover is that the tribe of Judah (Jews) is only one of the 12 tribes of Israel which was separated from the rest of the tribes because of Solomon. God said that He would only keep the tribe of Judah because of David. According to scripture, Jesus was a descendent of David and thus the tribe of Judah (a Jew).
You will notice that starting after Solomon's reign (about 3,185 years after Adam), there was a king over Israel (10 tribes) and a king over Judah (1 tribe). I am still searching the scriptures to find out what happened to the other tribe as that only adds up to 11.
This continues for quite some time until Israel is again divided in half and two kings rule over each half.
Later God says that He will scatter Israel among the nations. That is where we are today. The Jews (tribe of Judah) is the only tribe that still remains in the land called Israel. I find this quite interesting since out of Judah (King David and Solomon) was also the establishment of the temple that was located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
This is what I have learned so far. As far as I can see, only one tribe (the tribe of Judah, aka Jews) can be located with certainty today.
I also have an excel spreadsheet database that I built during this study that shows most (if not all) notable events that were timestamped in scripture from the time of Adam until 3,277 years after Adam. It includes each scripture reference that shows the time between each event. If you would like a copy of this, you can message me with an e-mail address and I will send you a copy of it.
It wasn't until this study that I understood this by searching the scriptures. I was always told that the Jews were Israel. They are a part of Israel, but only 1 tribe of 12. This was extremely important because in Revelations it talks about the 144,000 having 12,000 of each of the tribes of Israel. That would mean that 12,000 were Jews. Before I understood this, I thought all 144,000 were Jews cause that it was I was taught (obviously by someone that never studied this before).
It is very possible that Asia (or a fragment of it) is the result of one of other tribes that was scattered. I recommend reading the characteristics of the other tribes mentioned.
An important thing to note. According to scripture, Israel is now those that believe on Christ Jesus. So despite your genealogy/nationality, if you are not a believer in Christ Jesus, you do not inherit the promises that were given to Abraham.
So this raises the question then. What is the nature of the 12 different tribes that make up Israel today? I am currently studying this and so far I am leaning towards this. Tribe of Judah (those of Jewish descent that have received Jesus as Messiah); the other 11 are other nationalities. Because I know that there are no men that are condemned. I believe that all of the people of the entire earth are comprised of 12 different nationalities according to God (with a variety of sub nationalities in each). I also believe that this traces back to the 12 sons of Jacob. Judah's (one of the 12 sons) descendents being the tribe of Judah which are today called Jews.
However, I am not convinced at this point that the tribes have anything to do with genealogy. It seems to make more sense that you are adopted in to one of the tribes when you become a "new creature" in Christ Jesus. As you can see, although I have been studying this off and on for months, I have a lot of unanswered questions yet.
