Evidently God knows exactly where they are, otherwise we would not have these future prophecies:Duh,point was all 12 tribes are not in the state of Israel,so again I ask,where are they?
What part of a company of nations you not getting?
The fact that the two sticks won't be joined back together until the return of Christ should tell you something...
the fact that you cannot Quote a return of Christ should tell you something too i guess?What part of a company of nations you not getting?

ah ok gotchaDuh,point was all 12 tribes are not in the state of Israel,so again I ask,where are they?
People are looking in the wrong places. The 10 northern tribes were "sifted through the nations". Their previous identity is lost....forever. Now it is a spiritual gathering...not based on DNA....but on the will of God...to have mercy on ALL nations, tribes and languages through them.
So then when a person is grafted into Israel...they indeed have a tribal identity...to GOD. Not to men. That identity is Ephraim (double fruit). If Ephraim does not bear the fruit of BOTH holiness AND righteousness...they are rejected from being Israel...just as their forbears were also rejected.
Maybe the two sticks were joined back together when Jesus Came, am I right ? what's the argument against such.What part of a company of nations you not getting?

oh, they're here alright, they just aren't countries, like we might mistakenly be looking for?Again I ask where are the company of NATIONS?
If their identity is "lost....forever" we would not have the twelve tribes listed in Revelation, Ezekiel and other future prophecies. God knows exactly who is where.People are looking in the wrong places. The 10 northern tribes were "sifted through the nations". Their previous identity is lost....forever.

well, to some maybe, yesThose things in bold have obviously never happened
anyone who follows the law is Israel, might be better received by some? But obviously anyone who seeks to follow Christ must follow the law, plenty of Scripture for that rightIsrael will ALWAYS have to keep the Law.
1:20 works for Christ, the only one, and 2:6 is past tense, you might noticewho will be the only human occupants of the Highest Heaven (Eph 1:20, 2:6)
If this were true, then we would not have the clear distinction between the Church and the twelve tribes of Israel in Revelation 7. And Ephraim is called "Joseph" among those tribes (whereas Manasseh remains Manasseh).People who are born of the Spirit are then grafted into an existing tribe. People once were grafted in physically...but we, spiritually.
The 10 northern tribes are known by the collective name of "Ephraim".

THE TWELVE TRIBES
Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand...Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand (Rev 7:6,8)
THE CHURCH
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands... (Rev 8)
One of the biggest blunders that people make is to confuse the Church with Israel. And that is easily remedied by studying Bible prophecies carefully.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions... And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh. And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
(Ezek 47:13; 48:4,5).
