Subject: Where and when did Gentiles originate? |
Bible Note: Shalom homer4v, You've got it a little mixed up and little right. It was actually the Southern Kingdom aka Judah (Judah, Simeon within, Benjamin and the Levites within those 3 areas) that became known as Jews and the Northern Kingdom aka Ephraim (which comprised the other tribes and Levites within those areas) that became known also as Israelites but not Jews, and it remains such today. And according to the scripture that Steve shared with you, there were faithful from all tribes that joined up with Southern Kingdom/Judah (whether they retained their original tribal heritage I don't know, but personally, I would think that they didn't if they left the areaa that had been their inheritance. That's just an assumption, but one that makes sense.) Cheri |
