In writing about Israel’s continued place in God’s covenant, Paul writes in Romans 11:15, For if their rejection leads to the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” The usual understanding is that this refers to the Jewish people, who are the heart of the Covenant Nation of Israel. But what if Paul were referring not only to the Jews, but also to the non-Jewish tribes of the House of Joseph – the ones now called the Lost Tribes? That’s a point we cover in this second part of our conversation with Margot Crossing about the Interconnectivity of Ancient Israel in Asia Symposium, held in Aizawl, India, in November 2023.
Israel’s God exiled all the tribes from the Promised Land for good reason. Yes, both Judah and Ephraim rebelled against their Redeemer, and God judged them for it, but there was a promise in that exile. We learn about it in the story of Jacob, as Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this first part of their two-part midrash called, “Exile and Restoration.” We also hear this message in the music of Jimmie Black and Mason Clover.

Many whole Bible believers want to hide away at Christmas… and rightly so. There's so much junky garbage intermixed with Bible-y platitudes, it's sickening. But, We have a choice at Christmas… We can harden our hearts against a world steeped in paganism, or we can adopt the compassion of our Savior for a world that doesn't even know it's lost.
When asked why you choose to live the way our Creator designed us to live, how do you respond? Jeremiah questioned why he was chosen and the Creator’s response may be useful to help explain why we follow His instructions. Jeremiah 1:11-12, “And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied. “You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
