...when they die a physical death?
For most Christians, the possibilities for a hereafter is heaven or hell.
The Muslims think 72 virgins await them somewhere outside this physical world.
They go to Batuu.

...when they die a physical death?

I learned all of this from Herbert W. Armstrong. He wrote a little book called "The United States and Britain in Prophecy". Ephraim, the youngest son of Joseph had the birthright and blessing and was to become a "multitude of nations". Genesis 48:19. In the Hebrew Bible, they are represented as ten toes, and ten horns. Queen Elizabeth is sitting on the throne of David. Originally, the USA was the melting pot of northwestern Europe and we are called "Israel" in the Bible.Are there genetics tests you can do for this, or how does one determine exactly what tribe one is descended from? What's the methodology for determining the tribes? Are there unique haplogroups or something that you can look at in a blood or genetic test?
No, only trying to determine if one is from the lost tribes.
As far as I am aware, I am not Jewish either; tests cost a lot though I would like to try one.Ahhh, then you and I are in total agreement on that matter. For the record, I have undertaken two common DNA tests and have no knowledge of any Jewish ancestry whatsoever. Moreover, my DNA test results do not yield even the slightest indication that I had any. Consequently, I have no personal vested interest in the issue of DNA evidence for Jewish ancestry. However, because (1) I am a passionate genealogy addict, (2) am a great fan of DNA testing, and (3) and have herded kin and friends through DNA testing, I am acquainted with several folks whose DNA estimates have indicated some genetic descent from Jewish ancestors. Ergo my question to you about the range of your dispute.

@Terry SampsonFrom my understanding, excluding Levi, knowledge of which tribe an individual belongs to was lost long ago. Part of the prophecy of the Jewish Messiah is that the Messiah will be able to determine each individual's tribal affiliation.
If susanblange believes that people are able to find out their tribal affiliation, then that is not mainstream Judaism. I'm not saying whether or not it is accurate. Maybe it's possible? Maybe not? It could be that Susan is operating on new information that is not yet accepted into mainstream Judaism. I don't honestly know.

The Qur'an says there will be no vain talk in Jannah.72 perpetual virgins (houri)? Sheash, i could not think of a worse place to be than in the presence of 72 cackling, perpetual virgins all whispering secrets to their besties and laughing at stupidity.

There you go, @ChristineM. Jannah awaits you, if you'll get on the bus.
The whispering you described with the laughter sounds like vain talk. You also assumed the virgins are very young and vain. There is no age differences in Jannah. No vanity, no secrets, nothing bad is there.And?

I am 100% ignorant of this person or their doctrine. FWIW. Never heard of it before today.Herbert W. Armstrong's British Israelite doctrine
I do have a number of followers, but we are in the minority. The true Messiah will cause the Temple to be rebuilt. Isaiah 28:16. "...he that believeth shall not make haste". On Judgment Day 97% of earth's inhabitants will be cut off by fire. Isaiah 24:6. This will leave about 210 million people. Jesus has been kicked out of Heaven and reincarnated. Isaiah 14:12-15. He will be the leader of the "sons of darkness" as opposed to the "sons of light". At the end, Christians will execute the true Messiah and all Christians and other idolaters will be cut off also by fire. Joel 3. Zechariah 14:12. Salvation will come down to belief and about 100 million people will survive this and live to witness the resurrection. Daniel 7:10.Curious-er and curious-er ... you use the Hebrew portion of the KJV and get your British Israelite doctrine from Herbert W. Armstrong. Are you one of a kind or are there others that share similar beliefs that you fellowship with?
It's a good point... what happens when people die is a very complicated question.I believe predominately the Jews believe they are going . . .
I like the simple answer "Judaism is famously ambiguous about what happens when we die."
Vanity is a negative thing. There is no vanity in Jannah.I specifically stated houris.
No age difference, so everyone could be a vain and giggling inhabitant.
You do seem to know a lot about a place that, as far as i am aware, no one has ever returned to tell about it.
Oh.I do have a number of followers
