It gets confusing because there is a country in the world, today named Israel and occupying approximately the same space. But it is a country ruled by democracy not the Torah. It is a country that allows violations of the Torah throughout her land, and those abominations, the Torah would not allow are done there on the regular.

And it is a country that will not allow the lost tribes to return.

Moreover, people have been trained to believe that Israel is just the Jews and no one else. But the Jews are just the smallest portion of Israel and the only part that is noticeably identifiable and visible.

Israel is like an iceberg. The part you see is just the part that is the tip… The rest which is the bulk is beneath the surface and hidden from view.

YHWH split Israel into two in ancient time.

And He promised through Ezekiel and Jeremiah that He would restore both Houses of Israel and Judah one day in the New Covenent.

YHWH keeps His promises.

The Jews are the remnants of the southern kingdom, the House of Judah, and all those who converted to it and after years.

But the remnants of the northern Kingdom, the House of Ephraim or Israel were scattered among the nations.… But the scattered ones were not destroyed. They intermarried and their descendants are everywhere in the world today.

Nobody can point to a single man in the world and say that he is of the tribe of Gad or Naphtali or Simeon or Reuben etc. But they nevertheless are.

And they have every responsibility to live as Israelites following the Torah, even if the country that bears the name of Israel today does not, and even if they themselves are unwelcome to return to the Land of israel without converting to judaism - not allowed to return to the land of their ancestors because they are not Jews.

How should we know if we are part of Israel if we cannot identifiably point to any genealogy or physical feature?

Thankfully, anyone who wishes has always been allowed to join. All one must do to become a part of Israel is to choose to pronounce the world and their place in it, to love the Name of YHWH, to cleave unto His covenant, keep His Sabbaths, and walk after His commandments to the best of his ability.

Moreover, Yeshua made it possible for those who wish to return from the exile wherever their ancestors have been in between, to do so. He paid the penalty for our sins and the sins of our ancestors. He made it possible, not just for us to have eternal life, but for us to be restored to our true life within this world.

He never called for us to join the religions of Judaism or Christianity.

He called for us to come home and accept our rightful place in His House, the House of Israel.
