Matt. 10:5 These twelve <strong>Yahshua</strong> sent forth, <strong>and</strong> comm<strong>and</strong>ed <strong>the</strong>m, saying, Go not in<strong>to</strong><strong>the</strong> way of <strong>the</strong> Gentiles, <strong>and</strong> in<strong>to</strong> any city of <strong>the</strong> Samaritans enter ye not:6 But go ra<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> lost sheep of <strong>the</strong> house of Israel.The lost sheep of <strong>the</strong> house of Israel were those who were carried away in <strong>the</strong> Assyriancaptivity over 700 years earlier. These people literally became gentiles. They eventuallylost <strong>the</strong>ir identity <strong>and</strong> are <strong>the</strong> ones who became <strong>the</strong> “lost sheep of <strong>the</strong> house of Israel”.These people were still in worldwide dispersion at <strong>the</strong> time of <strong>the</strong> Messiah. The Apostlescertainly didn’t think Israel had been rega<strong>the</strong>red when <strong>the</strong>y asked <strong>Yahshua</strong> if he would atthat time res<strong>to</strong>re again <strong>the</strong> kingdom <strong>to</strong> Israel (Acts 1:6.) We have <strong>the</strong> witness of <strong>the</strong>his<strong>to</strong>rian, Josephus, a contemporary of <strong>Yahshua</strong>, who stated <strong>the</strong>y were still scattered atthat time <strong>and</strong> were a vast number, which could not be counted. Several of <strong>the</strong> gospelletters were written <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. I Peter was written <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. They are called strangersscattered throughout Pontus, Galatia (Galah in Hebrew means ‘exile’), Cappadocia, Asia<strong>and</strong> Bithynia, ELECT through <strong>the</strong> blood of <strong>Yahshua</strong>. The Greek word ‘diaspora’ # 1290translated ‘scattered’ is defined as “a converted Israelite resident in a gentile country”. IPet.2:9-10 equates <strong>the</strong>se people with scattered Israel (not Judah) of Hosea 1:9-10. TheEpistle of Jacob (renamed James in honor of King James) was written <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> 12 tribeswhich are scattered abroad. (James 1:1). They had not returned at that time <strong>and</strong> stillhaven’t.Were <strong>the</strong> Corinthians gentiles? Was Paul disregarding <strong>Yahshua</strong>’s admonition <strong>to</strong> “go notin<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> way of <strong>the</strong> gentiles”? Paul must have thought <strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> be Israelites as he referred<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m in I Cor. 10:1 as ‘brethren’ <strong>and</strong> would not have <strong>the</strong>m ignorant, how that ALLOUR FATHERS were under <strong>the</strong> cloud <strong>and</strong> ALL passed through <strong>the</strong> sea. TheseCorinthians were part of <strong>the</strong> lost sheep of <strong>the</strong> house of Israel.John 7:35 Then said <strong>the</strong> Jews among <strong>the</strong>mselves, Whi<strong>the</strong>r will he go, that we shall notfind him? will he go un<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> dispersed among <strong>the</strong> Gentiles, <strong>and</strong> teach <strong>the</strong> Gentiles? Thedispersed were called gentiles here by <strong>the</strong> Jews.Can’t you see <strong>the</strong> plan of Yahweh in preserving <strong>the</strong> knowledge of <strong>the</strong> Messiah <strong>Yahshua</strong>in scattered Israel? Judah rejected him, but has retained <strong>the</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing of <strong>the</strong> Torah,<strong>the</strong> oracles of Yahweh, which were entrusted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. We need what each o<strong>the</strong>r has <strong>to</strong> becomplete. Yahweh’s plan is <strong>to</strong> do exactly that, <strong>to</strong> bring <strong>the</strong> two sticks (trees) <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>ragain in<strong>to</strong> one kingdom under Messiah <strong>Yahshua</strong> in <strong>the</strong> Millennium. (Eze. 37) It is amajor <strong>the</strong>me that runs throughout Scripture.I don’t think I can make it much clearer, that when you become a believer in <strong>Yahshua</strong><strong>and</strong> trust in his shed blood on your behalf, you become Israel. When you read scripture<strong>and</strong> see <strong>the</strong> word “Israel’, do you au<strong>to</strong>matically think this is talking about <strong>the</strong> ‘ Jews’?This is a very common error. The Jews are a tribe of Israel <strong>and</strong> are sometimes referred <strong>to</strong>as Israel in scripture, but most of <strong>the</strong> time when you see this word, it refers <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r 10tribes which are still in worldwide dispersion. There are usually clues in <strong>the</strong> text <strong>to</strong> tellyou which is meant. Now back <strong>to</strong> Isaiah Chapter 56.4
