The house of Israel groups that I'm aware of call themselves, "Ephraim".
Ron: I've never heard of this theory before, concerning (blood-line) Israelites (not the fake type Jews of today I hope you are not including) identifiable today and tomorrow, to 'leave' the Body of Christ in the future? It raises all kinds of questions? What does this mean when a Christianany Christian leaves the Body of Christ to you, to go to a 'special' physical location. Are they still in the Body of Christ or not? Are they a special type of Christian within the Body? I'm really confused here. You are mixing a specific physical ancestry of a people since about 2000 years ago, with their common spiritual renewal to Christ, within the Body, on equal footing and in importance here. Enlighten me. Can you show me some scripture for this stunning revelation, for me anyway.
Thanks

God told me in a more than real audible voice that I was a Levite, during 1996.
I had just finished leading worship one Sunday morning for the Brantford Vineyard church when He told me that I was a Levite.
I didn't know what He was talking about.
I thought, "There's no Jewish people in our family, we never even knew anyone Jewish."
The next two Sundays I led, the exact same thing happened. In exactly the same spot.
Southern Ontario Vineyards were in the midst of a powerful move of Holy Spirit at the time.
It was during this move that I met Father God and my heart has never turned away from Him since.
Even though I relapsed twice, He never left me. Of course I include Jesus and Holy Spirit.
He has since given me much healing and deliverance (Luke 9:23).
During 2019, He led me to watch a documentary on ancient Israel (2 Kings 17). It was the first one that I watched.
The northern kingdom of the house of Israel went into Assyrian exile 2,700 years ago, along with God's promise to wake them up to who they were, during the last days. Starting with their Levites.
The video ended with these exiles landing in Normandy, France, during the 1500s. At this point, I thought, "Wait a minute, my parents family tree goes back as far as Normandy during the 1500s." I was stunned. The Lord's peace and joy filled my senses.
My last name, Coates, originally De Cotes, originated in Normandy, as I soon afterwards learned.
Just west of Normandy is an area called, "De Cotes." It's on the map.
The Lord then led me to Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations and has used Yair to teach me many things. He is an unorthodox, orthodox Jew.
I believe my dad was descended from either Dan, or Naphtali. My mother's name was Beulah Harper, and when young, led song in church.
This awakening is already happening around the world, though to the best of my knowledge, it is new in my area.
We are in the last days.
