Lost Tribes of Jews From India and China Arrive in Israel!
Old Testament prophets told of a day when Jews would return to Israel from the four corners of the earth. Some Jews are now returning from the world's two most populous nations: China and India.
Recently, friends greeted seven Chinese Jewish men at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport. They flew from Beijing. Their journey marked the end of a nearly four-year bureaucratic struggle to get to Israel, but also marked the fulfillment of a biblical promise several thousand years old.
"We are witnessing the ingathering of the exiles from the four corners of the world. It's taking place before our very eyes," Michael Freund said.
Michael Freund of Shavei Israel -- a group committed to bringing Jews back to Israel -- says their arrival was prophetic.
"The prophet Zechariah in chapter 8 tells us that God promises that He will save His people from the East, from the countries of the East and from the countries of the West," Freund said.
Home video of the Jewish community shows these men came from in Kaifeng, China. This community began more than 1,000 years ago when historians believe Jews from Persia or Iraq settled in China.
It is an awesome experience for Christians worldwide to see prophecy coming to fruition right before our eyes! What a time we live in!

I cried when I saw this video. I never thought this would happen in my lifetime. Thank you for sharing this wonderful news.
It is a glorious thing to live in this time of our history! To see lost tribes of Jews returning to Israel after a thousand years is something I didn't expect to see in my lifetime, either. With all the negative news, this was a ray of sunshine!
