Let's be absolutely clear about the fact that Gods plan involves His chosen people, who are a nation that He designated to be His servants in the world.
Way back, Abraham was picked out of the civilization then in existence in what is Iraq today. The descendants of his son Isaac, grandson Jacob and 12 great grandsons constitute the real nation of Israel today.
It’s an amazing fact that we can still identify most of the descendants of Judah, Benjamin and part of Levi, known to the world as Jews. But the other tribes are lost to memory, as God planned.
However, it isn’t hard to see who they might be, as they are the recipients of the blessings and promises of God to His people. They have His commandments as their guide and His true followers bear fruit. See John 15 v 1 -17
The Bible is full of passages of how He chose Israel, settled them in Egypt, rescued them, gave them the Promised Land, then uprooted and punished them because of their sins. Now the time is near for their regathering and judgement
DEUERONOMY 14:2 You are a people holy to the Lord God, and He has chosen you out of all the peoples of the earth to be His special possession.
1 CHRONICLES 16:13 Give thanks, you descendants of Israel, His servants, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
PSALM 105:1-5 Look to the Lord and be strong... you offspring of Abraham, His servant, the children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
ISAIAH 44:1 Hear Me now, Jacob My servant , Israel, My chosen one.
1PETER 2:9 You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, a people claimed by God for His own.
ISAIAH 14:1 The Lord will show compassion for Jacob ( the 12 tribes ) and will once again make Israel His choice. He will resettle them on their native soil, where aliens will join them.
