The House of Joseph & Judah Today
Joseph
is one tribe and Judea another: Where
did the House of Joseph go in the historical records? Where
did the House of David (Judah) go after the death of King
Zedekiah? Did the Davidic throne vanish? Many Bible
students have been taught that it simply disappeared into the
ancient etheric-fog of history but is that Biblical?
What
does the Bible say about the throne of David and Israel? God in His covenant with Abraham guaranteed a
perpetual national existence of Israel…but we also find that their geographical
location was promised to change; they were to resettle
some place outside of literal Jerusalem. We read;
The LORD
promised regarding Israel; “Moreover I will appoint a place for
my people O Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell
in a place of their own, and move no more; nether shall the children of
wickedness afflict them anymore; as before time.” (2nd Samuel
7:10)
The King James
renders this more accurately to the original Hebrew. Here God clearly promises
them a new land, outside of Palestine – a future
place where their enemies cannot disturb them like in olden days. Basically God
is declaring; “I have selected a homeland for my people from which they
will never have to move. It will be their own land where the heathen
nations won’t bother them as they did when the judges ruled my people.”
(Living Bible)
This decree
does not refer to Palestine, which is where Israel already was when this
promise was given. Also this verse talks about a FUTURE “planting”
of the nation. Though geographical Israel was reestablished according to Bible
prophecy in 1948 they are still tormented by their enemies and
only the tribe of Judah has returned and has become the
puppets of the United Nations and their surrounding enemies.
We learn
that the prophet Jeremiah has something to do with a future “re-planting”
of Judah. (Jeremiah 1:10)
The
people Israel are not Judah and they were to be re-planted someplace else in
future years. Israel
is Ephraim and Manasseh. Have they been replanted
and what about the blessing placed on them by Jacob? Are they experiencing this
“latter day” blessing mentioned in Genesis chapter 49? Yes they
have been replanted and are experiencing those blessings!
What of Judah?
Though many Jews have literally returned to geographical Israel (Palestine)
where is the promise of the “scepter which should not part”, the
kingly line of Judah? Is that still here on planet Earth?
God promised
more than once that a kingly line would survive the “house of Judah”
all the way up until the Second Coming so
that when Jesus Christ returns “the House of David” can
be handed over to Him for him to rule…which will be the Millennial
Reign of Christ.
Gabriel the angel promised Mother Mary; “The
Lord God will give him (Jesus) the throne of his father
David.” (Luke 1:32-33) Was that throne on planet earth when Jesus was
here? Perhaps being protected some place? Jesus told some of His disciples to
seek out the lost of Israel (those outside of Jerusalem) while He was here….He
also told the Jews in Jerusalem that He had “other sheep, which are not
of this (strictly Judean) fold” those too He promised to re-gather.
(John 10:16) God promises to restore all Twelve Tribes of Israel at the
Second Coming.
“The people
of Judah and the people of Israel will be
reunited, and they will appoint one leader (Jesus Christ) and they
will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.”
(Hosea 1:11) (also Ezekiel 37:18-22) ~
Ephraim (Great Briton) and Manasseh (America)
are still here experiencing an identity crisis and have apostatized into great
sin. The “throne of David”, the kingly line of Judah is also still here
in Ephraim being protected. We are living in the “last days” right before the
Rapture of the True Church. ~
My prayer is
that you trust God’s promises and Word in place of the
world’s understandings and teachings. We have an awesome God who
remembers all of His promises and keeps His Word. May all who
study here be blessed.
Resting in the
finished work of my Lord God and King, Jesus the Christ.
