We read in Ezekiel 37, that the two "pieces of wood" which are now separated, but are to be reunited, represent, on the one hand, Judah (son of Leah), and on the other, Joseph (son of Rachel) and the rest of the house of Israel associated with him. Leah and Rachel (Jacob's wives), are identified as "the two families whom the Lord chose to build the House of Israel". The promise of the birthright covenant was given to Joseph, son of Rachel, and the kingship was given to Judah, son of Leah. 

• Ruth 4:11 “May the LORD make the woman entering your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel.”

Scripture also asserts that The House of Israel and The House of Judah do not all inhabit the same country, territory, region or continent, but their nations have been scattered throughout the lands of the North, and will only be reunited in their ancestral homeland after the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom.

• Jeremiah 3:18 "In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave to your fathers as an inheritance."

Therefore, those who preach or teach that the Jewish nation and the nation of Israel have already been reunited and they are occupying present-day State of Israel, are propagating a false and deceiving narrative that is not substantiated in the Bible. To this end, the Reverend Canon Faucett M.A. states in his "Critical and Expository Bible Encyclopedia": 

"The idea that the House of Israel has been amalgamated and incorporated with the "Jews," is one of the most amazing errors in Biblical History."

Before continuing, it is important to understand that a terrible yoke has been imposed on the “House of Israel” and the “House of Judah,” and they will be subjected to terrible tribulations as retribution for their unfaithfulness. 

​

But it must be understood, however, that ELOHIM is first and foremost A JUDGE, and He always applies equity in His judgment; what He grants to some, He also renders to others, but in a different context. Although a terrible yoke has been imposed on the “House of Israel” and the “House of Judah”, by virtue of the covenant between the Lord and their ancestors (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), these nations are not predestined to eternal destruction. For if divine graces were to be extended only to those other dominant nations who also collectively, just like Israel and Judah, committed idolatry and great transgressions against ELOHIM, and if the fate of Israel and Judah were to be nothing but humiliation, oppression, physical abuse, and mental anguish without any form of redemption or comfort, then ELOHIM would not have kept His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and could never be called Just and Merciful.

• Jérémie 30:10-11 "As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid. For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished."

• Romans 11:26-28 "And so all Israel will be saved, as it has been written: "The One Delivering will come out of Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins. Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs."

• Jeremiah 23:6 "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
