PERSIAN EMPIRE
ARAB NATIONS
WHERE JEWS WERE SCATTERED 480 BC

Account of Esther begins around 480 BC ... Persian Empire.
The "Jews" here are a composite of 2 1/2 tribes. The kingdom was split in 10 and 2 parts, but part of the Benjamites seem to have went with the north and south split? ( "Jews" = those Israelites who became loyal to the southern split, the tribe of Judah, Levi and part of the tribe of Benjamin.
#1 In 480 BC these Jews were living in ALL THE PROVINCES of the Persian Empire.
#1 In 480 BC the Jews were living in Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. They were all scattered through the Arab nations long before there was a Roman Empire.
#2 By this time these Jews had already been assimilated into speaking the languages of these other nations
ESTHER 8:9 According to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, to every province according to the writing ... to every people after their language.
These are letters of Mordecai to the "Jews" to every people after their language.

ESTHER 1:1 Ahasuerus reigned, from India even to Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)
ESTHER 3:8 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws:
* The people Haman spoke about were the southern split of these "Jews".
* They are scattered aboard in ALL THE PROVINCES OF THY KINGDOM.
* They do not keep the king's laws.
ESTHER 3:12 Haman had commanded to the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province ... to kill all Jews
* Where are these "Jews" located.. IN EVERY PROVINCE !
ESTHER 8:5 ... the letters devised by Haman he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
ESTHER 8:9 It was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews , and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, to every province according to the writing ... to every people after their language.
ESTHER 9:2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout ALL the provinces of the king Ahasuerus,
ESTHER 9:16 But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces
ESTHER 9:19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that lived in the unwalled towns,
ESTHER 9:20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
ESTHER 9:30 And he sent the letters to all the Jews [3064] , to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus

Where were the Jews scattered before the Romans ever had a kingdom... in the middle east nations. By the time the Romans invaded Israel most of the Jews were already living in the Arab nations and the other 10 1/2 tribes were scattered into the Arab nations before that.

ESTHER 9:20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far ... Here is are the brown skin, middle east nations the Jews were living in around 480 BC.

These are the land areas of the Persian Empire and ALL the provinces the "Jews" lived in. They were living in all these Arab nations, mating and mingling centuries before the Romans ever came.

When ONLY a small fraction of the Jews returned from captivity in Ezra
Ezra 2:64 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore ... 42,360
Ezra 2:65 Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women. ... 7,337
After this trivial fraction of Israelites returned, the mass population of the Israelites remained scattered through out the Persian Empire (Turkey to Sudan, Israel to India) ESTHER 8:9 According to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, to every province according to the writing ... to every people after their language. AFTER the trivial fraction of Israelites were returned.. the masses of Israelites remained scattered through out the middle east.
The Israelites were scattered and already assimilated into the rest of the Arabs centuries BEFORE the invasion of the Europeans. When the Romans took Israel they wrote there were more Jews in Egypt than in all of Israel.
After the tiny fraction were returned, century after century we find the prophets traveling to other Arab nations to speak to the "Jews".

Remnant / Residue = fraction

2 Kings 25:11 ... the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
A remnant of the multitude = a fraction of the multitude.
2_CHRONICLES 30: 6` ... turn again to the Lord ... and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
EZRA 3: 8` ... the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem;
EZRA 9: 8` the Lord.. to leave us a remnant to escape... reviving in our bondage.

NEHEMIAH 11: 20` And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah.

ESTHER 2: 16` Esther and her uncle Morty never returned to Israel but they remained in the other Arab Empire.. In the book of Esther.... long after the tiny fraction returned in the book, the masses of Israelites remained through the 132 provinces of Persia.. India to Lebanon, Turkey to Sudan (Cush)

ISAIAH

"Jewish book" states Isaiah : The book that is called by his name covers two different historical periods: ... events in Jerusalem ... between the years 740 B.C. and 700 The second half-chapters 40 to 66-tells ... around the year 540 B.C The idea of rebuke is prominent in the first part of the book, while in the second half, the major idea is consolation.

ISAIAH 1: 9` Except the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant... (Only a fraction returned to Israel)
ISAIAH 10: 20` ... the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
This is long after a fraction of the Israelites returned in the book of Ezra and it tells that the rest of the Israelites will return in the future. The multitude of Israelites never returned to Israel.
ISAIAH 10: 21` The remnant shall return, shall = future tense.. if at this time they shall return, in this period of history they were Already scattered.. and in this period of history they had never encountered any Europeans and it is written exactly where they WERE already scattered into.. the provinces of the middle east empires.

JEREMIAH 23: 3` And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have (past tense) driven them.
Where I have scattered them.. past tense. At this time in history the Europeans had not invaded. At this time in history it was NO WHERE OTHER THAN THE MIDDLE NATIONS that God had scattered the Israelites into.
It does not say I will gather the Israelites from come countries I will drive them into a thousand years from now, but I will gather the Israelites out of the countries WHERE I HAVE DRIVEN THEM.. PAST TENSE.. THE MIDDLE EAST NATIONS.

JEREMIAH 24: 8` ... the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
A trivial fraction of the Israelites returned from captivity in Ezra and here the multitude of the Israelites remained through out the other Arab empires.
JEREMIAH 39: 9` ..the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.

JEREMIAH 44: 28` Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt .. no land of Europe is ever mentioned.

JEREMIAH 52: 15` ...the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

EZEKIEL 6: 8` Yet will I leave a remnant, that you may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be (future tense) scattered through the countries.
Ezekiel
In the year of 597 B.C.E., the Babylonians laid siege to Jerusalem, captured the city, and deported King Jehoiachin to Babylon...
You shall (future tense) escape. Where they gonna escape from.. the only places they were scattered into are the named middle east countries.

HAGGAI 1: 14`... the remnant of the people did work in the house of the Lord. Remnant = fraction, so were the rest of the Israelites, still in captivity,

HAGGAI 2: 2` Speak ... to the residue of the people, saying, THE CITIES OF ISRAEL LEFT DESOLATE

BECAUSE THE MASSES OF ISRAELITES
WERE SCATTERED THROUGH OUT THE ARAB EMPIRES.

The importance of these verses showing that the cities of Israel were left with out inhabitants is this information is given AFTER a fraction of the Israelites (remnant) returned. And IF Israel had lost most of it's population, the great multitude of them remained scattered through out the Arab empires.
AFTER the remnant returned, the masses of Israelites remained scattered through out the other Arab nation.

ISAIAH 1: 7` Your country is desolate.... overthrown by strangers.
ISAIAH 6: 11` Then said I, Lord... Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
ISAIAH 24: 12` In the city is left desolation...

JEREMIAH 4: 7` ... thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
JEREMIAH 9: 11` ... I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
JEREMIAH 25: 9` Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, ... THE NORTH IS NOT RUSSIA.. IT IS BABYLON !!!
JEREMIAH 44: 2` Thus saith the Lord... Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
THE MASSES OF ISRAELITES NEVER RETURNED FROM THE ARAB NATIONS, BUT THEY WERE SCATTERED THROUGH OUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND ASSILIMATED INTO THE ARAB EMPIRES.

JEREMIAH 44: 6` the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
JEREMIAH 44: 22` ... your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

EZEKIEL 25: 3` Hear the word of the Lord God... and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity

* If the cities of Israel were desolate with out inhabitants. If their houses were empty BEFORE any European empires ever entered the middle east to take the Israelites any where, then where were the masses of Israelites in the centuries before any European encounters?

Only a trivial fraction of the Israelites ever returned from captivity and then they were scattered again... not into Europe, but into the Arab nations.
The streets / cities of Israel were left with out inhabitants before the Europeans invaded to take them any where... so where were the Israelites scattered through out these centuries?

If it is written the Israelites are to be gathered out of all of these Arab nations, wouldn't those natives of those Arab nations have to be the descendants of Israel?

Where will the Israelites be gathered be gathered from, in the actual prophecies of their return to Israel?
ISAIAH 10: 22` For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Where does Isaiah declare the Israelites will be returned from?
ISAIAH 11: 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 (the Hebrew word is not islands but coast) of the sea. In the prophecy of Isaiah, the Israelites will be gathered from the middle east lands NOT Germany, Russia and Poland.
Where were the Israelites already scattered BEFORE Europeans ever invaded:

ESTHER 8:9 Mordecai commanded to the Jews of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces ... the masses never returned in any book of the Tanach (Old Testament)... where will they be gathered from:

ISAIAH 11: 16` And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
ISAIAH 11: 11` ... the Lord shall ... recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the coast of the sea. In the prophecy of the scriptures the actual Israelites will be gathered from the middle east nations..
