No — the ten tribes of Israel are not lost; Scripture identifies them as part of the whole house of Israel, and Les Feldick teaches that every tribe remains represented in God's plan.
During Asa's reign, people from the northern tribes moved into Judah and Benjamin in such abundance that Israel was depleted while Judah expanded, showing the tribes were not lost. Ezekiel 37:11 describes the dry bones as the whole house of Israel, not merely the two southern tribes. Les Feldick emphasizes that the northern ten tribes went into captivity and dispersion, but God knows who they are and will bring every tribe back to the land.
2 Chronicles 15:9 — Records northern Israelites migrating to Judah in abundance because the Lord was with Asa.
Ezekiel 37:11 — Identifies the dry bones as the whole house of Israel, showing all twelve tribes are in view.
2 Chronicles 15:9 records that during the reign of King Asa, he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, along with the strangers out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon — for they fell to him from Israel in abundance when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. The same chapter shows that these migrations were so extensive that Israel was being depleted while Judah expanded. In Ezekiel 37:11, God told the prophet, 'Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.' The people's words were, 'Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts' — yet the vision was of the whole house of Israel being brought back again.
Les Feldick teaches that the ten tribes of Israel are not lost. He points to 2 Chronicles 15 as proof of a constant migration of Israelites from the ten northern tribes down into Judah, so that by the time of the captivities, all of Israel was representatively there. He acknowledges that the northern ten tribes went into captivity and never really returned as tribes, which is why some people call them the lost tribes — but they were merely out there in dispersion. He stresses Ezekiel 37:11, where the bones are identified as the whole house of Israel, not just the two tribes, and he plainly states that the idea that the ten tribes have been lost and are no longer a viable entity 'flies in the face of Scripture.' God knows who they belong to, and every tribe will be represented in their return to the land.
Yes. 2 Chronicles 15:9 records that during Asa's reign, strangers from the northern tribes 'fell to him out of Israel in abundance' when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. Les Feldick explains that the migration was so constant and so great that Israel was being depleted while Judah was being expanded, so that representatively all of Israel was eventually in the southern kingdom [Clip 0].
Ezekiel 37:11 says the dry bones are 'the whole house of Israel.' Les Feldick emphasizes that this is not just the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin but every tribe. The people had been in dispersion so long that they had lost their national identity — their bones were dried and their hope was lost — but the vision shows that the day is coming when the whole house of Israel will be brought back to life nationally. God knows who they belong to, and every tribe will be represented in their return [Clip 1] [Clip 7].
Les Feldick explains that the ten northern tribes went into captivity and never really came back as tribes, which is why some people call them the lost tribes. But they were out there in dispersion, not destroyed. Later, God took the southern two tribes into Babylon, and only a few thousand returned after 70 years. Yet according to His promises, God is bringing them back from the four quarters of the world [Clip 3] [Clip 5].
Les Feldick explains that after the nation divided, the northern tribes set up a separate government and their own religious system in Samaria, while Syria remained a constant enemy. From about 740–750 BC onward, the kingdom had been going down and down for hundreds of years under God's judgment [Clip 2].
Northern Tribes Migrating into Judah
Les shows from 2 Chronicles 15:9 that northern Israelites kept moving into Judah during Asa's reign, depleting Israel and expanding Judah — evidence the tribes were not lost but integrated.
The Whole House of Israel
Les explains that even in dispersion, every tribe will be represented in the return, because God knows who they belong to — they are the whole house of Israel, not twelve minus ten.
The Fall of the Northern Kingdom
Les describes how the northern tribes set up their own government and religious system in Samaria before their decline and captivity.
Why Some Call Them 'Lost'
Les explains that the ten northern tribes went into captivity and never returned as identifiable tribes, which is why some people call them lost — but they were in dispersion.

Reuben was the eldest. He should have been here. But he was, again, an immoral person. You remember, he was the one who had a relationship with his father's wife or concubine or something. But anyway, Judah now takes the place of leadership, and of course the other reason, who comes out of the tribe of Judah? Christ does.
Dispersion and Return
Les traces how God dispersed the ten northern tribes and the two southern tribes yet promises to bring them back from the four quarters of the world.

But the nation of Israel, instructed and taught and nurtured through the Old Testament under the Law and the prophecies, rejected him, and they were dispersed then back into that main stream of humanity from which they were called in the first place.
Ezekiel 37: The Whole House
Les directly refutes the teaching that the ten tribes were lost and destroyed, insisting it 'flies in the face of Scripture' because Ezekiel 37 says the bones are the whole house of Israel.
2 Chronicles 15:9: And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
Shows northern Israelites joining the southern kingdom in large numbers during Asa's reign.
Ezekiel 37:11: Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Identifies the dry-bones vision as the whole house of Israel, not just Judah and Benjamin.
No. Ezekiel 37:11 calls God's people the whole house of Israel, and 2 Chronicles 15:9 shows northern Israelites migrating into Judah in abundance. Les Feldick teaches that the idea of ten destroyed, missing tribes flies in the face of Scripture.
Because after Assyrian captivity, the ten northern tribes never returned as distinct tribal units and were scattered in dispersion. But as Les Feldick explains, they were never truly lost — God knows who they belong to and will bring every tribe back.
Yes, in large numbers. During Asa's reign, so many northern Israelites came down into Judah that Israel was depleted and Judah expanded. This migration is recorded in 2 Chronicles 15:9.
Les Feldick teaches that Ezekiel 37 is the nation of Israel coming back to their homeland out of all the nations of the earth — the whole house of Israel coming back to life nationally, not just the two southern tribes.
