According to The Bible, the Israelites from the northern kingdom were deported to Assyria by the Assyrian king and placed in Halah and Habor, on the river of Gozan and in the cities of the Medes. Josephus and Jerome later tell us that they remained there for hundreds of years, under submission to the Persian empire. When Persia fell, they became subjects of the Hellenistic empire, in particular, the Parthians. During the time of Christ, many of them visited Jerusalem on pilgrimage during the Passover, as is mentioned in the New Testament during Pentecost. If Jesus' testimony is to be believed, these exiled Israelite tribes were among the first Hebraic peoples to receive the gospel, which was preached to them by such apostles as Thomas and Thaddeus. After the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70 AD by the Romans, the Jews in Judea were dispersed throughout the nations and most of them fled to places where their Israelite brethren were already living, such as Persia (Tehran), Urmia (northern Iran), Egypt, Jordan and Syria. But because of differences in religious beliefs, the two groups of Israelites experienced a schism. Most of them had accepted Christianity and became known as Orthodox Christians; the ones who rejected Jesus as Messiah became known as Jews, and allied themselves with the Zionist cause, later emigrating to Israel or other Western countries.
