(See Judg. Nothing can be more unscriptural than to call all Israelites “Jews”. As a result of this wrong historical understanding, the popular theory of “Dispensationalism” has created a false “rapture” doctrine and a misguided Zionist allegiance among millions of supposedly God’s people. Abraham had eight sons. In Ezra 9:1 – Ezra says “They have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed has mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hands of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.” You can see how the facial expressions of all the descendants of these intermarriages would differ from that of the pure descendants of Judah. For instance, Zerubbabel, who leads the community of exiles returning to Jerusalem in the early Persian period (late sixth century B.C.E. Also Jeremiah writes: “When ye be multiplied and increased in the land 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 gave for an inheritance unto your Fathers” (Jer. The term “The Jews” is never, in God’s Word, applied to the 12 Tribes, collectively, or to the Ten-Tribed House of Israel. The name Jew is mentioned after the Babylonian captivity took place. For instance, though at one point all the descendants of David had apparently been slaughtered, the narrative recounts that a legitimate Davidic child, Joash, was hidden by the priests and later emerged to restore the throne to the Davidic line (2Kgs 11:1-12). (II Kings 25:21). Hebrew is regarded as the spoken language of ancient Israel but is largely replaced by Aramaic in the Persian period. In the first chapter we read “Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.” Did the two nations of captives “gather together” and amalgamate while in the land of their captivities? 3:16-18). Judah married a Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker” (2 Samuel 3:1). Nothing like this has yet taken place. The term ‘Jew’ is never used until more than a thousand years after Abraham. The tradition that the legitimate ruler of greater Israel is always a descendant of David is one of the most prominent and enduring in the Bible. The book of Micah plainly teaches that the Jews who “halted” were to become “A remnant,” while Israel “that was cast far off,” was to become “a strong nation” (Micah 4:7). 17and the sons of Jeconiah, the captive: Shealtiel his son.

When we speak of the Kingdom of God, there is no longer a House of Judah (Jews) and House of Israel (who were scattered to the gentiles/nations). That this uniting of Israel and Judah was not in the past is again proven by the fact that the Jews have never had a King since they went into Babylonian captivity. At first, only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the House of David, but the tribe of Benjamin soon joined Judah. Ezra declares the same fact, naming the Hittites as among those with whom marriages were consummated. Here Moses represents Judah as the praying tribe - in this respect inheriting the spirit of its great father, Jacob. One of his 12 sons was Judah, but in the sense in which we use the word “Jew” today, the term cannot be applied to Judah, for “he was not a Jew,” because of the fact that they whom we call Jews today have certain characteristics and are racially a type that came into existence hundreds of years after Israel left Egypt. In Jeremiah 30:3, 4 we have a prophecy yet to be fulfilled concerning the uniting of the two Houses. On page 500 of the Scofield Bible, Scofield says, “The two Kingdoms are to be reunited in the future Kingdom” and then cites a number of Scriptures to prove the assertion. In the Tanakh (Old Testament), blessings for obedience and punishments for disobedience were prescribed for God's chosen people, the 12 tribes of Israel (collectively known as the House of Israel and the House of Judah). The kingdom of Judah managed to exist for 135 years after the downfall of the more populous and more powerful kingdom of Israel. Was there any sign of amalgamation among them? The amalgamation-theory is hopeless. It was during this state of affairs that the prophets commenced their ministry – some residing in the territory of Israel, and others in that of Judah.

In I Samuel 11:8 we read “And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousands and the men of Judah thirty thousand.” Notice that even at this early date, Israel numbered ten times more than Judah. Suppose your parents gave you the name of Charles. 19:16). Just so the Scriptures, which require that Israel shall be a great military power in the last days, cannot be applied to the Jews; and they are not applicable to Israel during the Millennium when there will be no wars.

This shows that the house of Israel ceased to exist in 722 B.C.E. 37:22). J. H. Allen of California, speaking of this modern confusion which we are discussing writes: “For ecclesiastical writers to ignore the national and racial representative Israelitish names of Joseph, Ephraim, and Samaria, Israel’s capital city, as used in history and prophecy, and to substitute “The Jews” either as a name or as a people, calling them the sole representatives of Israel’s race, is not only the height of ignorance, but THE GREAT ECCLESIASTICAL CRIME OF THE AGES.

(ll Samuel 5:4-5) They were carried into captivity separately, at different times and by different nations, because Israel was taken into captivity by the Assyrians, 721 B.C. This is not true even of Judah’s return from Babylon. As a matter of undeniable fact, there never has been, to this very day, a Davidic King reigning in the Holy Land from the year B.C. The House of Judah was allowed to come back to their own land after Babylonian captiv i ty but like the Northern Kingdom, they strayed from God and were unfaithful. In the prophecy that the “Two Sticks,” Judah, and the House of Israel will become “one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one King (the Lord Jesus Christ) shall be King to them all” we have Divine proof that the two Houses are still separate, because Christ is not reigning over them as King at the present time. The remainder of the book of 1 Kings, as well as the book of 2 Kings, in the Bible relates the subsequent history of those two kingdoms. And so, more than 2,000 times God refers to Israel when what He says has no more to do with the Jews than with the Germans, or the Italians or the Chinese, or the Russians.

According to the Hebrew Bible, David and his house—his descendants—were appointed by God to rule all Israel (2Sam 7:1-17).The term “Israel” here encompasses a united kingdom that included both the tribe of Judah in the south, David’s home territory where he first came to power, and the ten northern tribes of Israel, where Saul ruled before David took over his kingdom. After King David, Solomon was King over both Houses.
