to: TwoHouse, I don't understand your point at all. It doesn't seem logical or correct.
Israel was the name given to Jacob. Israel's (Jacob's) 12 sons each became one of the 12 tribes of Israel. One of Israel's sons was Judah. From Judah came the Jews. Hence, The House of Israel includes the House of Judah, so obviously the House of Israel includes the Jews. They are not "seperate entities" at all. The House of Judah is a subset of the House of Israel, whom The Lord called "The Children of Israel" in Exodus, for example.
No it isn't. Go back and READ Genesis with special attention to the words HOUSE, TRIBE, KINGDOM, and it will all shake out. The HOUSE of Israel was never Jewish. (Click on my Profile for more...)
