Joseph Wild
The Lost Ten Tribes, and 1882
"The Lost Ten Tribes, and 1882" by Rev. Joseph Wild, D.D. is a historical and theological discussion likely written in the late 19th century. This work explores the fate of the ten lost tribes of Israel, proposing connections between these tribes and modern groups, particularly the Anglo-Saxon race. Wild's central thesis indicates that the promises and prophecies regarding Israel's future are still relevant and can be seen in the historical and contemporary events involving Great Britain and America. The opening portion of the text serves as a preface, wherein Wild outlines his journey and motivations for writing the discourses contained within. He emphasizes the importance of understanding Biblical prophecies, particularly those concerning Israel, and critiques traditional interpretations that conflate various Biblical groups. Wild expresses his conviction that God has a divine plan for the chosen people, which he believes includes present-day nations such as England and the United States. He suggests that these countries are fulfilling God's promises of expansion, prosperity, and a divine purpose as the descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes, and argues for a renewed understanding of their role in God's plan.

George Reynolds
Are We of Israel?
"Are We of Israel?" by George Reynolds is a religious treatise written in the late 19th century. This book delves into the beliefs surrounding the ancestry and identity of the Latter-day Saints as descendants of the ancient Israelites, particularly focusing on the promises made to Abraham and his posterity. Through a combination of scripture, historical analysis, and interpretations of prophetic texts, Reynolds seeks to provide evidence for the claim that many modern nations, especially those in Europe and the Americas, are linked to the tribes of Israel. In "Are We of Israel?", Reynolds explores the concept that the Latter-day Saints are among those of Israel and discusses the historical and spiritual significance of this heritage. The book opens by reiterating the divine promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding their descendants. It then traces the migratory patterns of the lost tribes, particularly the Ten Tribes, and their potential connections to various European nations such as the Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians. Throughout the chapters, Reynolds presents arguments and testimonies from both ancient and modern sources, including insights from leaders like President Brigham Young, to illustrate how the blood of Israel might be found mixed within nations around the world. The work culminates in a strong assertion that the gathering of Israel is not just a past event but an ongoing process that ennobles and connects people across time and space.
