Gone to Assyria Captivity Gone to Babylonian captivity

THE NORTHERN KINGDOM IS TAKEN CAPTIVE TO ASSYRIA

The Northern Kingdom (house of Israel) was taken captive by the nation of Assyria (II Kings 17:7-23). In the fullness of time, they lost their identity as the house of Israel and became assimilated into all the nations of the world.

THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM IS TAKEN CAPTIVE TO BABYLON

Meanwhile, the Southern Kingdom (house of Judah) was initially taken captive by the Babylonians. The Elohim of Israel declared through the prophet Jeremiah that the duration of the Babylonian captivity was to last for 70 years (Jeremiah 25:1-11). Following the 70 years of Babylonian captivity, a remnant of people from the Southern Kingdom (house of Judah) returned to the land of Israel during the days of Ezra and Nehemiah.

2. Bible promises for uniting them into one fold.

Jermiah 31:31-33

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Yahweh:

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Yahweh, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.

Ezekiel 37:15-25

Eze 37:15 The word of the Yahweh came again unto me, saying, Eze 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: Eze 37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. Eze 37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Eze 37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign Yahweh; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. Eze 37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. Eze 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign Yahweh; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: Eze 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Eze 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their Elohim. Eze 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. Eze 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

3. Yahshua Messiah's role in uniting both the houses.

Yahshua Messiah came from the tribe of Judah: ( House of Judah/Southern Kingdom )

Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Mat 10:5 These twelve Yahshua sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Mat 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Luk 15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

Luk 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Mat 19:28 And Yahshua said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(House of Israel and house of Judah)

Caiaphas Prophecy:
----------------------

Joh 11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of Elohim that were scattered abroad.

Disciples asking about the restoration of Israel:
-----------------------------------------------------

Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Sovereign, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

James wrote for the 12 tribes ( House of Israel and House of Judah)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jam 1:1 James, a servant of Elohim and of the Sovereign Yahshua Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

John wrote for the 12 Tribes and 12 Apostles
--------------------------------------------------------
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

4. Covenant Promise is only for the TWO HOUSES

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Yahweh: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Sovereign.

Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Sovereign; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a Elohim, and they shall be to me a people:

5. Christianity's wrong teaching.

So called Christianity has a lot of wrong teaching that Israelites are only the Jews remaining people are Gentiles. So the Old Testament Law, (Torah) Sabbath, Festivals, New Moon Observance and all other things are only meant for Israelites, not for Christians.

Ephramites are called Gentiles, they had a Golden Calf system of worship from the beginning. Jeroboam introduced this pagan worship in his mission if you read in 1. Kings 11:

1. They don't have Torah ...So also with the so called Christians for them there is no Law

2. Sabbath breaking ........Christians also do the same

3. Man made festivals .......Christians also have the same traditions of men

Anna the prophetess from the tribe of Asher
-------------------------------------------------
Luk 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; She was of the House og Israel.

Simeon's declaration about the Gentiles
----------------------------------------------
Act 15:14 Simeon hath declared how Elohim at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. Act 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, Act 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: Act 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Sovereign, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Sovereign, who doeth all these things. Act 15:18 Known unto Elohim are all his works from the beginning of the world. Act 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to Elohim:

7. In Abraham's promise all the Nations
Abraham is not a father only to the nation of Israel, but he is a father to many nations. Yahweh blessed him in such a way. Gen 17:5-9,

He became the father of many nations. So all the 12 tribes of Israel were scattered abroad the net, now this is the time of restoring them into one fold. So there is no question of caste, creed, religion, or what ever the difference it may be. In Yahshua Messiah we were born into a New nation. Yahshua Messiah uniting us in to his fold.

If we are really a follower of Messiah, we are Israelites, we are the citizens of the New kingdom. When we place our faith in Yahshua we are in the Olive tree as apostle Paul says in Romans 11: This olive tree represents Messianic Israel.

If we belong to Messiah we are of Abraham's seed of offspring heirs according to promise. (Gala 3:29 cp Genesis 13:14-16; 17:5-9) We are adopted children to Abraham.

".who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the temple service and the promises." (Romans 9:4)

Disciples asked about the restoration of the kingdom of Israel in Acts 1:6-8 The family of the Elohim of Israel ( Christianity and Judaism ) lives together at the time of His gathering.

Eze 37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

To understand Israel, we must realize that the Father has been dealing with two houses of Israel, Judah and Ephraim, and He now wants us to become one stick in His hand. (Ezek 37:15-28).
