Were the European ancestors of Western nations spiritually saved or lost?
The European ancestors of Western nations were spiritually lost, not saved. The context states they were as lost as they could be, and that condition continues. The covenant promises belong to the nation of Israel, not to America, Great Britain, or Scandinavian nations through supposed descent from the ten lost tribes.
Les explains that British Israelism is far out in left field when it claims America, Great Britain, and some Scandinavian nations are now recipients of the promises because they are offspring of the ten lost tribes. He says, “Don’t you believe it!” Instead, our European ancestors were as lost as they could be, and they still are, and we still are, but the promises belong to the nation of Israel. He also notes God loves Arab people just as much, and God’s offer of salvation goes to the Arab as much as to the Jew, yet the covenant promises belong to Israel. Deuteronomy 30:1 is cited as a prophecy that Israel would be dispersed among the nations more than once.
