Does the Bible teach that the ten tribes of Israel are lost?
No, Scripture does not teach that the ten tribes are lost. The 144,000 sealed are from all the tribes of the children of Israel, not just two, and the rest are not lost. Though dispersed for nearly 2,700 years, they remain Jews, and God knows their tribal identity.
Les explains that when the 144,000 are sealed shortly after the tribulation begins, they are Jews from all the tribes of the children of Israel. The text does not say two tribes or that the rest are lost; all are represented. Despite almost 2,700 years of dispersion among the nations, they are still Jews. Even though they cannot tell what tribe they came from, God knows.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
