Our focus: 1 Kings 11&14; another message inspired by Steven Kirk of Hope church in Mason Ohio. 

In Solomon’s time there was due to his own sin a division of the kingdom inherited by him thru David his father.  But that division was not an equal division of the tribes.  Ten tribes went to Jeroboam in the northern kingdom, and only one tribe, Judah, went with Solomon’s son Rehoboam in the Southern kingdom.  This kingdom alone was retained in order to fulfill God’s covenant with David of having an eternal forever King upon David’s throne. The lineage of David therefore was passed on through Mary to Jesus, and came to Him through the tribe of Judah the kingly tribe, from which He then was appointed our King forever upon David’s throne.

The lineage even today within Israel is represented by only the Jews (the Tribe of Judah).

Interestingly only the Jews were spoken of even by Jesus, and Paul in their own days as recorded in Scripture, except that is, for the book of the Revelation.  In the Revelation we read:

Revelation 7:4  And I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: (NASB2020)

This article from the St Paul Center implies that the 10 lost tribes may be reconstituted spiritually through the ordinance of baptism, as are we. So, are (the lost tribes?) now coming forth from the gentiles, and are they even now being added into the new covenant?

The prophecy that tells of the “new covenant” explicitly states the following: 

“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah” (Jer 31:31).

So there will be a reuniting of the twelve tribes.  The method by which this takes place is no where to be found in Scripture, only the fact that it will somehow take place within the “New Covenant”.  And So, it will. And we the Church will inherit with them. A fact not to be overlooked in your Theology.

I am not advocating for the above implication; because the gentles are to be blessed from Abraham’s seed (Jesus). And we gentiles are unnatural branches added by adoption.

Were we to actually have DNA from each tribe; then we could either prove or disprove the theory stating that we the gentile Church today are from the 10 lost tribes of Israel.  

But, since we have none of the DNA from those Ten lost Tribes specifically, we will likely need to wait until we are with our Lord to find out if any of us had a calling from Israel’s lost tribes.  

Our job either way is to endure in Christ unto the end.  Having stated all this; it certainly will not surprise me if we as the Church are at least in part made up from the 10 lost tribes.  I say in part because, we know that many of us in the Church right now are saved Jews from the tribe of Judah.  And consider this: most of the population taken with Jesus when He relocated Paradise would have been from all twelve tribes.  

On the other hand, as stated, Jesus came to be a blessing also to the gentiles.  So, in the end all Israel will be saved, and all prophecy concerning both Israel and the Gentiles will be fulfilled.  We are seeing evidence of Scriptures completion even today. Therefore, one might conclude that our redemption “draweth neigh”.  

Jesus prayed in John 17, for you and I, who belong to Him through belief in what The early witnesses passed on (His bringing and sealing The New Covenant). So, Reflect on what He says in that prayer. For it concerns you; if you are in Covenant with Him (through Him the Christ), who shed His blood and offered it up to His Father for you.

BTW: there are Arabs in Israel as well, many are Muslim. But one Day All will be New Covenant believers in Christ.
