Brief Scythian History: The term Scythian goes back to the term Saka or Sacae. It identifies the Israelite tribes in the region as that name preserves an ancestry from the Israelite patriarch, Isaac. These accounts (and others) record that the Scythians appeared in South Russia at the very time that the ten tribes of Israel were fleeing from the final Assyrian invasion. The account of scholars dates the Scythian arrival in Armenia and south Russia to the very time that the Bible states the Northern Kingdom Israelites were removed from their homeland. (Some of the tribes were already captive to the Assyrians and they had no choice where they were relocated). Scholars agree the Scythians were firmly established in south Russia by the 7th century B.C. The message of God to the ten tribes (Israel) found in Jeremiah 3 was given near the end of the 7th century B.C., and it indicates they were located north of Jerusalem. The Scythians lived straight north of Jerusalem in the Black Sea region.
Hebrews 4:12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
