Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel
Ten Lost Tribes Of Israel
Abraham’s grandson, Israel had 12 sons. The modern nation of Israel is comprised of only two of those sons – Judah and Benjamin. Many of the children of Levi are also included in that mix, but Levi is no longer included as one of the sons of Israel, as Levi became God’s inheritance.
So what happened to the other ten sons, or tribes, of Abraham’s grandson? Are they lost? Many think so.
Would it be possible to trace the migration of the other ten sons of Israel to know where they went?
What about prophecy? Is there anything in the Bible that might indicate who the modern tribes of Israel are based on the fulfillment of prophecy?
Interestingly, the Jewish Encyclopedia (which is a publication of the tribe of Judah) has a listing claiming the identity of the “Lost Ten Tribes”, known as the “diaspora” in the Bible, can’t be known today. And yet, they quote the prophecies that identify at least some of those tribes and then continue to name the nations that fulfilled those prophecies! Thus, identifying the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel!
There are also many prophecies concerning all the tribes of Israel and the promises God made to them. Prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled. Is it possible that God knows where they are?
If you knew the nations that the sons of Israel became, would you be better able to understand the Bible? Or would not knowing be a better alternative?
Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on the identity and location of some of the sons of Israel. Spoiler Alert - the “Lost Ten Tribes of Israel” aren’t lost at all.

Financial Fitness With The Money Doctor with Frances Rahaim, Ph.D. "The Money Doctor"
Partnering with Procrastination
Why do we put off the very financial decisions that could make our lives easier? In this episode of Financial Fitness with The Money Doctor, Frances Rahaim, Ph.D., takes a closer look at financial procrastination—not as a flaw, but as a pattern with leverage points. From avoidance and overwhelm to uncertainty about where to begin, procrastination often signals something deeper than simple delay. This conversation explores what’s really happening beneath the surface—and how small, well-placed shifts can help you move forward with confidence. Because when it comes to your finances, progress doesn’t start with pressure. It starts with understanding. 💬 Have you noticed this pattern in your own life? Share your thoughts or questions—we’d love to hear from you. 🔗 For more information and tools to help you move forward, visit HUGYourMoney.com
In this episode of Financial Fitness, Dr. Frances Ram (The Money Doctor) and Denise Fozella explore the psychological barriers that prevent individuals from addressing their debt. The discussion highlights procrastination not as a character flaw, but as a complex interplay of fear, abstract goals, and cognitive biases, offering a roadmap for transitioning from avoidance to action.
The Psychological Roots of Financial Avoidance
Procrastination in debt management often stems from deep-seated emotional triggers rather than a simple lack of willpower. Dr. Ram identifies "form fear" and "task aversion" as primary obstacles, where the mere act of looking at financial data or filling out applications triggers an anxiety feedback loop. This cycle is often manifested through avoidance behaviors, such as leaving bills unopened or ignoring calls from collectors, which only intensifies the underlying stress over time. Interestingly, some individuals delay action to create a "last-minute" adrenaline rush or cling to a sense of "lottery-style" optimism, hoping a future raise or windfall will resolve the issue without current intervention.
From Abstract Goals to Specific Action
A significant barrier to progress is the "abstract" nature of debt. Vague desires like "I want to get out of debt" are difficult for the brain to process compared to specific, time-bound targets. Dr. Ram emphasizes the importance of visualizing the "rock bottom" and using tools to see actual timelines—such as knowing exactly when a credit card or mortgage will be paid off. By breaking down overwhelming projects into "one tiny, little step," individuals can overcome "analysis paralysis," where they spend too much time researching the "perfect" plan instead of simply starting.
Sustainable Management and Partnership
Effective debt recovery avoids the "ramen noodle diet" or extreme privation, which Dr. Ram describes as a "foolish" and unsustainable approach. Instead, successful plans allow for a decent lifestyle and occasional indulgences to prevent burnout. When dealing with a procrastinating partner or spouse, the key is to initiate a "pleasant discussion" rather than a surprise attack. By offering to handle the bulk of the administrative work while asking for the partner's emotional "buy-in," the process becomes a collaborative effort rather than a source of domestic conflict.
Procrastination is often a defense mechanism against the overwhelming nature of debt, but it can be dismantled through specificity and small, immediate actions. By replacing abstract fear with a methodical, realistic plan, individuals can regain control of their financial future and eliminate the anxiety of the unknown.
