The Kingdom OF SOLOMON was Divided...
and it still is (Hosea 1:6-11, 1 Peter 2:10)


The House of Judah(Jews) is the southern part of the divided kingdom.
The House of Israel is the northern part of the divided kingdom.

Hosea 1:6-10 And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And He said to him, Call her name, Unpitied: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, but will surely set Myself in array against them. 7 But I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen. 8 And she weaned Unpitied, and she conceived again and bore a son. 9 And he said, Call his name, Not My people: for ye are not My people, and I am not your God. 10 Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not My people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God. 11 And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezrael.(Osee,LXX)

In the place where it was said to them

Matthew 4:12-20 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, He departed into Galilee.[13] And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim,[14] that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,[15] The land of Zabulon and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations:[16] The people which sat in darkness saw great light, and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.[17] From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Hosea 1:6-10 fulfilled

(1 Peter 1:1) 1 Peter 2:9-10 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light: 10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

-----------------
Edited to add Hosea 1:11... for the people who STILL don't see the House of Juda as separate from the House Israel in Hosea 1:7. Where both Houses are being mentioned, it means the kingdom is still divided. 1 Peter 2:9-10 says the House of Israel fulfills Hosea 1:6-10... [11] And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezrael.

The House of Judah(Jews) is the southern part of the divided kingdom.
The House of Israel is the northern part of the divided kingdom.

For now.

'And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.'

Israel has been restored, and the nations have come to Mt. Zion. These things have come to pass and are coming to pass in Jesus. He who sent out His Gospel through His Apostles, beginning first in Jerusalem, then throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles are all found in Jesus. He who reigns at the right hand of the Father, having received all power and authority sits on the Throne. And in Him the unity of all of Adam's progeny--all human beings, and indeed, the entirety of creation.

The only "division" in the kingdom at present is the tragic fact that Christians are not currently united in faith, love, and hope as one Body in full communion with one another. The divisions in the Church are the only, at present, divisions in the kingdom--and it is a division of our own devising through our own brokenness and sin. However, we are fully confident (or should be) in this: the saints on earth and the saints in heaven are united together in the one Communion of Saints, held together by God, in Christ, by the Spirit both now and forever, even unto the ages of ages.

That is not a division within the Kingdom since the world is not in the Kingdom.
The point is there is NO division within God's Kingdom, just perhaps seen due to man's interpretation of what the Kingdom is,

Are you one of those people who think there is no thousand-year-peace?
Or a no-millineum-at-all guy?

No, I'm not a millennialist. Christ reigns both now and forever.

Judah has been restored and still sees their brother tribes of the House of Israel as gentiles.

... when they see them at all. Don't they still say that Israel is dead to them? because Jeroboam told Judah to feed itself, because they got tired of the taxes that were crippling them.

I'm thinking there are still Judahites in other countries, including Babylon... if they weren't shock-and-awed to death.

What does that mean?
Exactly what it says. The House of Israel is 12 tribes not the 2 everyone seems to think it is. Judah broke away from the country Israel, yet has the gaol to call itself Israel today..

That's confusing to me.

1 Kings 11:29-32 And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two were alone in the field. 30 And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it into twelve pieces: 31 and he said to Jeroboam, Take to thyself ten pieces, for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes. 32 Yet he shall have two tribes, for My servant David’s sake and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.LXX

Sorry... the kingdom being spoken of in the OP is the kingdom of Solomon.
