Nehemiah: 1:5, 1:8, 1:9.

 

 That’s a small portion of the promise seed that God mentioned to Abraham, a father of many nations that live in Israel today.
     For those who choose not to believe this, I ask; where did this greater population of the twelve tribes of Israel, known as the ‘house of Israel’ or ten tribes, settle after the Assyrian captivity? God tells us what He did to them, but not specifically where He scattered them, except among the nations, put for the ‘goyim’, or Gentiles. I say again, there were three separate captivities of the twelve tribes of Jacob; the first two captivities by Assyria took the entire house of Israel’, with Ephraim being the largest of those ‘ten tribes’, captive to Assyria. The majority of those ten tribes of the ‘house of Israel’ were then dispersed among the nations, and never returned to Israel. The third and last captivity occurred when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon took the other two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, Levi figured with them, captive to Babylon. The return to the promise land of Judah, Levite, and Benjamin, of about 43,000 from the Babylonian captivity is recorded in the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah. The rest of the ‘house of Judah’ were likewise, as the ‘house of Israel’, dispersed among the nations abroad. Here are some references for a further study of this subject: 

 II Kings 17: 17:6, 17:13-14, 17:23, 17:34, 17:39, 17:41,

             

Isaiah 11:11-13: 11 And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

 

 Ezekiel 37:15-32: The two sticks.

 

1 Kings 12: Two golden calf’s...

 

 Jer.23:8: But, the Lord liveth, which brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north  country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

 Isaiah 5:7: For the vineyard for the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgement, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

Jer.3:18: In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

 Jer.5:15-19: Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel...

Jer.31:8-10: Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

9 They shall come with weeping and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say. He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.

Amos 6:1: Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
