Actually,Benjamin Netanyahu ,Is the king of israel(illegitimate) .
PM of te little country Israel who is stouter than his fellows .He is also diverse from his fellows.
You spurred some research on my part. I agree that the 10 tribes + 2 tribes idea is there for a reason. (Although I would say that it is going to refer to all of the following: nation state Israel, EU with 10 divisions, the US (10 FEMA states), and the UN 10.]
When we look at the 2 sticks prophecy of Ezekiel 37, we get the 1 stick of Judah & 1 stick of Joseph / Ephraim getting joined. (Judah + Benjamin) and (Ephraim + remainder getting joined)
In modern terms, this would be the Jewish notions of 'messiah ben David' (1st stick) & 'messiah ben Joseph' (2nd stick)

The term
Mashiach unqualified always refers to
Mashiach ben David (Mashiach the descendant of David) of the tribe of Judah. He is the actual (final) redeemer who shall rule in the Messianic age. All that was said in our text relates to him.
Mashiach ben Yossef (Mashiach the descendant of Joseph) of the tribe of Ephraim (son of Joseph), is also referred to as
Mashiach ben Ephrayim, Mashiach the descendant of Ephraim.2 He will come first, before the final redeemer, and later will serve as his viceroy.3
The essential task of Mashiach ben Yossef is to act as precursor to Mashiach ben David: he will prepare the world for the coming of the final redeemer. Different sources attribute to him different functions, some even charging him with tasks traditionally associated with Mashiach ben David (such as the ingathering of the exiles, the rebuilding of the
Bet Hamikdash, and so forth).4
The principal and final function ascribed to Mashiach ben Yossef is of political and military nature. He shall wage war against the forces of evil that oppress Israel. More specifically, he will do battle against Edom, the descendants of Esau.
Obadiah 1:18): "the progeny of Esau shall be delivered only into the hands of the progeny of Joseph."7
This ultimate confrontation between Joseph and Esau is alluded already in the very birth of Joseph when his mother Rachel exclaimed, "G‑d has taken away my disgrace" (
Genesis 30:23): with prophetic vision she foresaw that an "anointed savior" will descend from Joseph and that he will remove the disgrace of Israel.8 In this context she called his name
"Yossef, saying
'yossef Hashem - may G‑d add to me
ben acher (lit., another son), i.e.,
ben acharono shel olam - one who will be at the end of the world's time,'9 from which it follows that
'meshu'ach milchamah - one anointed for battle' will descend from Joseph."10
The immediate results of this war
Zechariah 12:10).12 His death will be followed by a period of great calamities.
These new tribulations shall be the final test for Israel, and shortly thereafter Mashiach ben David shall come, avenge his death, resurrect him, and inaugurate the Messianic era of everlasting peace and bliss.
David is of the tribe of Judah, to mirror the False Prophet's 2 horns (David ruling Judah & Benjamin). The horns become kings when they receive their messianic land apportionment in Ezekiel 48 and with Ezekiel's temple.
When we look at the tribes listed in Ezekiel 48 versus the tribes listed in Revelation 7, we get:
Ezekiel 48 with 13 tribes:
Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Rueben, Judah, Levi, Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad
in Revelation 7, we get 12 tribes
Judah, Rueben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin
Dan and Ephraim are not present in the Revelation 7 12 tribes, with Joseph replacing Ephraim. Since Joseph is the father of Ephraim, Revelation is just pointing out that Ephraim is cut off, so they have to go back in lineage to find the 12, 000 faithful.
Put another way, Dan & Ephraim will be joined to idols and will be cut off (Dan is a 'serpent' Genesis 49:17 & Ephraim is joined to idols Hosea 4:17). At the 6th Seal through the onset of the first 4 Trumpet judgments, the 12,000 faithful of each tribe will 'come out of Babylon, my people' (Revelation 18:4) and form the 144,000. All of the unfaithful of all the tribes, the non-12,000 that comprise DNA Israel of the 12 tribes will go into the great tribulation because they accept the mark of the beast which they think is the seal of God. All of Dan & Ephraim are unfaithful, with not even 12,000 to save.
For the faithful 144,000, this is the fulfillment of the 2 sticks, with Jesus as their head.
Going back to messiah ben David & Joseph, it is pretty clear they look like false prophets in some capacity.
