Location Of The Lost Tribes

​When I first came to the knowledge of who the true Israelites were, I came across many camps who claimed the Hispanics, Mexicans, among other groups were the tribes of Reuben and Issachar. knowing the tribes of Israel were scattered among the gentiles, I didn't have a problem with the thought of Israel being scattered among those groups until I came across this scripture

Isaiah 11:11-12

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

In Isaiah 11:11 Yahwah is saying he will gather the remnant of Israel from:
Assyria- Assyria, kingdom of northern Mesopotamia that became the centre of one of the great empires of the ancient Middle East. It was located in what is now northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey.

Egypt- Egypt is situated in the northeast corner of the Africa. Covering 386,662 square miles, it is almost twice the size of France and the twelfth largest country in Africa. To the north of Egypt is the Mediterranean Sea, to the south is the Sudan, to the west is Libya and to the east of Egypt is the Red Sea.

Pathros- Pathros (Hebrew: פַּתְרוֹס‎, Pathrôs; Greek: Φαθωρῆς, Phathōrēs; Koine Greek: Παθούρης, Pathourēs) refers to Upper Egypt, primarily the Thebaid. It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in Jeremiah 44:1 and 15; Isaiah 11:11; and Ezekiel 29:14, 30:14. It is the homeland of the Pathrusim.

Cush- Cush is traditionally considered the eponymous ancestor of the people of the "land of Cush," an ancient territory that is believed to have been located on either side or both sides of the Red Sea. As such, "Cush" is alternately identified in scripture with the Kingdom of Kush or ancient Ethiopia.

Elam- Elam was an ancient Pre-Iranian civilization centered in the far west and southwest of what is now modern-day Iran, stretching from the lowlands of what is now Khuzestan and Ilam Province as well as a small part of southern Iraq

Shinar- As for the location of Calneh, modern day scholars have located this to be Nippur (modern day Niffer), which is situated in the marshes of east bank of the Euphrates; roughly 60 miles southeast of Babylon.

Hamath- Located on the River Orontes, it still exists as the city of Hama in modern western Syria, to the north of Damascus.
and from the islands of the sea

The remnant of his people I believe he is speaking of is the remnant of The House of Israel, because we see in verse Isaiah 11:12, scripture then goes on to say he will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. So the remnant of the house of Israel mainly are found in Africa and the middle east countries.

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Judah went into captivity and was scattered to the four corners of the earth, while it is apparent that most of the house of Israel mostly resided in the regions now know as Africa and "The Middle East" regions.
Scripture in Acts 2 confirms the locations devout Jews been residing in before the day of Pentecost, while we also know Judah still mainly stayed on at Jerusalem until 70 AD until the diaspora. Notice in Acts 2 , the places mentioned as being the places many devout Jews were born in matches up very accurately to t he places Yahawah will gather the house of Israel from.

Acts 2:5-11

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

I know Judah being scattered to the 4 corners of the earth does leave room to consider others such as the Afro Mexican and others scattered during the trans Atlantic slave trade are indeed also the remnant of Judah, but that does not include the whitish skinned people who are know as Latins or Latinos who were originally an Italic tribe in ancient central Italy from Latium. As Roman power and colonization spread Latin culture, Latins came to mean mostly unified Italic people and the Latin-speaking people of Dacia, Iberia, Illyria, and Gaul whose land was settled by Latin colonists.
