Please clarify....
After the time of Solomon, the Kingdom of Israel split in two: The Northern Kingdom, called 'The House of Israel', consisted of 10 of the tribes... The Southern Kingdom, called 'The House of Judah' consisted of two of the tribes. It is the Southern Kingdom, The House of Judah which eventually became known as 'Jews', as the Northern Kingdom, known variously as The House of Israel, Ephraim, Joseph, etc, was long since seeded into the nations in diaspora.
That split is a continued theme in the Prophecy - Without that understanding, the prophets are impossible to interpret, as is a large portion of the NT...
Forwarding to editor-surveyor for input.
Editor-surveyor, need your comments on this; see after “please clarify (”please clarify” was my request):
