2 | Judah and Israel Reunited? | Amos 2:4 | skccab | 207291 | ||
Good morning Tumbleweed, Let me first welcome you to the forum. Very glad to have you here!! As far as I know the nation Israel never re-united in Bible times. I'm 99.99999etc. percent sure they did not. In May 1948 Israel once again became a sovereign State. But those that returned were the Jews. (In Bible-ese the people from the tribe of Judah and Benjamin, the Southern Kingdom, were the ones called "Jews.") The Southern and Northern Kingdoms of the Bible not yet re-united. On June 7, 1967 at 10:20am Israel re-entered the Old City of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall. Southern and Northern tribes not yet re-united. In March 2005 the 'powers that be' in Israel decided that the little groups of Israelites spread all over the world who were claiming to be members of this or that tribe from the Northern Kingdom (aka Ephraim and/or Israel) were indeed children of Abraham. They opened the doors to these Israelites with the condition that they adopt Judiasm as their official religious/life-style. (Since the records that were kept in the Temple were destroyed in 70AD, I don't know what criteria the state of Israel is looking at when making these decisions - I'd like to know if someone else does :-) ). Southern and Northern Kingdoms still not re-united yet. There is one group of Israelites that are not welcome in their homeland (even though, as I understand it, the state of Israel agrees that these people are from the tribes they are claiming to be from)- they are world wide, many in Ethiopia and other areas in Africa. They have accepted Jesus as their Messiah and they will not renounce Him, so they are not being allowed to return home. The total reunion of the nation of Israel will not be complete till these are allowed to return also! Ezek. 37 is happening right now!! Individuals from the tribes of Jacob are coming to the Lord and returning to their homeland! We are living in the days of Prophecy, before our very eyes!!! Hope this helps a bit Cheri |
