The Lost House of Israel

It is; to the true Israel of God, as scripture makes clear;
Romans 9:8…It isn’t the children of Abraham by natural descent who are the people of God, but all those born into God’s Promise, Jesus, who are the true children of faith.

Thinking that the current occupiers of a small part of the Holy Land, who call themselves Israel; are the true Israel - is a serious error.

It is God’s plan that the House of Judah, that is: the Jewish people, remain as an identifiable people group to fulfil the tasks assigned to them. In these present days, one task has been to replant and rebuild the Land.

But the 10 Northern tribes, that is, the House of Israel, have been lost to history.
Deuteronomy 32:26 says - I will cause the memory of them to cease among men.
However, the Bible does give us some clues as to who and where they might be today.
Who has received the blessings promised. Where will they eventually come from to return to the Land?

THE BLESSINGS -T
To Abraham: Father of many nations, exceedingly fruitful,

• To Isaac: numberless descendants, Land given to them.
• To Jacob: The richness of the earth. Peoples will serve you. Curses on those who curse you, blessing on those who bless you.
• To the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel): See in Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33:1-29

1 Chronicles 5:1-2; states that the Birthright Blessing is given to Joseph.

In Genesis 48 Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. Both were to become great nations.
Deuteronomy 33:17 The 10,000s of Ephraim and the 1000s of Manasseh will push against the nations, even to the ends of the earth.

Only the British Commonwealth and the United States of America fulfil these prophecies. The other 8 tribes seem to be identified with the European Union nations. Ref: The Tribes, Yair Davidy.

RETURN AND REJOINING IN THE LAND:
There are over forty prophecies telling us of the House of Israel’s return to the Promised Land in the last days, so where they will migrate from gives the clues as to where they are now.

Jeremiah 31:8-10 See, I bring them from a Northern land ... gathered from the far ends of the earth.....a vast company...I am a Father to Israel and Ephraim is My eldest son.
Isaiah 49:12 They are coming, some from far away, some from the North and West and others from the land of Sinim. (Sinim - Hebrew: Southern land, Latin: Australi)
Hosea 11: They will follow the Lord and when He roars His sons will speed out of the West.

So, the main location of the lost ten tribes is in the Northwest and from there, spread around the world.

Your belief of a Jewish Israeli redemption, is a contradiction of many scriptures; Isaiah 22:14, Jeremiah 7:29-34, Ezekiel 21:1-7, Amos 2:4-5, +
Also Jesus said: Bring those who did not want Me for their King and slaughter them before Me. Luke 19:27

The apostate Jews will be punished and only a remnant will survive. Romans 9:27, Isaiah 6:11-13

What the believers in a rapture to heaven imagine, is false and will never happen. Better to renounce such wrong doctrines before it's too late.

Jesus said: I am sent to only to save the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Matthew 15:24
The House of Judah is the Jewish people; only 2 tribes separated from the 10 Tribes of Israel. It is wrong for Jews to call themselves Israel.

Jesus' Mission WAS successful and we Christians are the result. WE are the true Israelites of God, Galatians 6:14-16

The Christian Body of Christ are the Israelites of God, the Overcomers for Him. No one changes their ethnicity.

Your insistence on a Jewish Israel, shows your support of the 'rapture to heaven' false theory. You fail to see the many verses which tell of the virtual demise of Jewish Israel, Luke 19:27, and only a remnant will survive. Romans 9:27

The Old Testament prophets always carefully delineate between the House of Judah, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and the House of Israel, the ten Northern tribes*.
They separated into these two nations, soon after Solomon’s reign ended. God said that this separation was part of His plan. 1 Kings 12:24

Although some from the Northern tribes did escape the Assyrian exile by coming down and joining with Judah, the main body of Israel were taken away to the Caucasus region. When the Assyrian Kingdom declined and fell, they decided to migrate and find better lands to live in. There is plenty of archaeological evidence of their travels; Jeremiah 31:21 speaks of the cairns or dolmens that they built to mark their way across Europe, many of which still exist.
Their descendants remain scattered around the world, now an uncountable number of peoples that have received the blessings promised to them by Jacob, Genesis 49 and by Moses; Deuteronomy 33. In particular, Ephraim, who became the leading tribe of the House of Israel, received the blessing of Jacob, Genesis 48:17-19, of his descendants becoming a group of nations, powerful and prosperous. Only the British Commonwealth fits this description. The United States of America represent Ephraim’s brother; Manasseh.

That Israel and Judah have not rejoined as yet, is proven by the great chapter of Ezekiel 37:
Firstly, the dry bones represent the whole Israelite people; verse 11 The Lord will put His Spirit into them and they will come alive spiritually, becoming Christians, later: those faithful will be settled into all of the holy Land. Ezekiel 20:32-38, Ezekiel 37:12-14, Ezekiel 34:11-31 and Isaiah 11:11-13 –the Second Exodus.

The two sticks, that clearly show how the two Houses are both Israelite, are rejoined as one in God’s hand, to become one nation in the Land; ALL of the holy Land, from the Nile to the Euphrates. This will be the new nation of Beulah, as Isaiah 62:1-5 prophesies.

God promises to make a Covenant with them; of peace and prosperity and His Sanctuary [Temple] will be in the midst of them. He says: then they will know that I am their God. This statement is in many of Ezekiel’s prophesies and is proof that they will all take place before Jesus visibly Returns for His Millennial reign.
This Covenant is the one prophesied by Jeremiah 31:31-34 and reiterated in Hebrews 8:10-11 and we await, with great anticipation the time of its implementation.
* Unfortunately, Paul in the New Testament is not so careful with ‘Israel’ and it requires discernment to be sure of when he is meaning Judah, the Jews or all Israel, by descent or by grafting in.
