When the Disciples asked Jesus, saying, “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6). In other words, “…wilt thou at this time bring the 10 tribes back to the land Israel?” Fact is, the exact opposite was about to take place. In Matthew 21:43, Jesus, speaking to Judah, said: “Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”
That’s “nation” — not Church! Christianity does not represent the kingdom of God; it’s the national religion of the kingdom of God. In the OT Israel’s national religion was The Law of Moses. After Calvary it was replaced with the New Covenant. (Jer. 31:31.)
The nation Jesus was speaking of was Israel, the northern tribes. “The kingdom” Jesus was referring to was the tribe of Benjamin who was a part of the kingdom, who were the Galileans in the north, but were kept with Judah for David’s sake. Now they would be... more...
I noticed that Eph. 2 was quoted in this article, let's take a closer look:
“That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:” Eph. 2:12.
The word “aliens” appears twice in the NT: Eph. 2:12 and Heb. 11:34. The word used in Hebrews is “al-lot'-ree-os” and translates; “not akin” or “not one’s own” (Strong’s 243) The word used in Ephesians is “ap-al-lot-ree-o'-o” and means “to estrange away” (Strong’s 575).
The word "commonwealth" pol-ee-ti'-ah, (Strong's 4177) in this verse can be translated "citizenship." When Paul uses the word ap-al-lot-ree-o'-o when writing to the Ephesians it would imply that they once had a relationship with the Lord but were "estrange away," i.e., divorced.
When God divorced the ten tribes of the northern kingdom they were, in effect, "Gentilized." In other words, they lost their "citizenship" as God's people. Paul is not... more...
Lost Tribes and People of a Book

They will come at a great gatherimng. People from a time before they were broken, and fragmented. A gathering of a People, in the name of all who seek the truth. Two houses as one.
I have read that a word that is new, is like the dew on the grass. Fresh and holy and in the moment. BolloMolloB is a word that is new. It come from the SKY. I think it is a virus. Human mind control scanner virus.
Very good article on a difficult (for some) to understand subject. And it's refreshing to read from a non-pretrib rapture source, we are in a minority and I want to encourage you.
Thanks for the great read. Though I disagree on one point; the stick of Ephraim can't represent the Gentile Christians because of the prophecies concerning the return "from Assyria and the islands of the sea" of the house of Israel. It clearly points out that there will be a future return event which will bring about the uniting of the two peoples. Due to time and intermarrying however, it could be that by that time Israel will constitute most of the Gentile world!
@Mo- agree about the part of only Islam standing in their way. But disagee that only Islam is the way. Bible teaches that Jesus is the way. Be Moslem and keep praying 5 times a day but believe in Jesus as Messiah and you will be saved. =)
Do your research and see for yourself what the message says and how we are warned about events to come. All that is playing right in front of our eyes with the impostor Euro -Jews hijacking the Holy land and working toward a 1 world government ruled through the banking system and electronic money.
This study has explained things more clearly than most I have read. There is a passage in Luke11 that has intrigued me for for the passed 22 yrs. The foreshadows to the Queen of the South brings to light many of the foreshadowed scenarios of the Old Testament that involve Good and Evil and the woman as the savior, namely, Jael in Judges 4, The Woman who wisely saves Israel by throwing Sheba's head over the wall, and of course the whole book of Esther, where Esther is teh main player in successfully outmanuevers Haman in his attempt to annilate the whole Jewish nation. Where does this play out in the plan ofsxalvation set forth by God in the last days? It didn't happen in Jesus's generation. Jesus's prophecy about the Queen of the South seems to be for the future. Since Jesus was the physical representative of God then wouldn't she be His counterpart as the second Eve to the second Adam? My study which involves many pages of Scriptural evidence says she is. Does anyone else have any ideas about this. In the first part of the Old Testamen Israel is called the Sons of God and somewhere in the accounts of their wanderings they become the daughter. What caused the change?
