Ephraim and Judah Reunite!

[Cradoc]

Hey how many actually know about the scatterd house of Ephraim? And how christians are the House of Ephraim? Just wondering I can explain when questions start popping up.... smile )

Oy vey sounds like Mormon talk to me  

[grani4fam1]

YES! I do! Not a Mormon idea at all. It's a very real concept in the Bible, not a cult thing.

I've heard conflicting reports on these...something about the Ephraimites (the ten tribes?) being scattered around the Western nations so that they represent the kingdom of Israel and the Jews still represent the kingdom of Judah.

Not sure about that, although knowing how genes spread through a population and how scattered the tribes were, I would not be surprised if every northern African and European could trace their lineage back to Abraham, as do (so we are told) the peoples of the Middle East.

I can name five Messianic ministries that teach this idea:

First Fruits of Zion
Lion and Lamb Ministries
Simchat Torah
Michael Rood
Congregation of YHWH Jerusalem

They are all solidly Torah-observant and scripturally based ministries.

Ok, so...to put it crudely - according to these teachings, the peoples of Europe and Northern Africa are mongrel Hebrews? Like the Samaritans?

I'm not knocking it, I'm just sayin'.
