Of course we have another interesting dialogue here in the New Testament

Matthew 15
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Now if these 10 lost tribes had moved off to whereever and Jewish people after 722 BC weren't the Chosen People of God, why was Jesus Christ travelling through this area for the House of Israel?

[Destro]

All 12 tribes were the the tribes of Isreal-including the ones remaining.

[Just mythoughts]

First off Christ by his own words is letting us know that He and He alone was not sent Himself to only the lost tribes, He, Christ was sent to all who would believe.

Quite different, that his commandment to the apostles to go first, but to the lost sheep.

This woman knew who He was speaking of, why else would she use the words she used. Christ made it clear that no group or people held claim to him by race or religion, but by His Word.

Over and over and over again those children of Israel/Jacob, disobeyed our Heavenly Father and their punishment was to be scatter to the four winds and to loose the rememberance of "who" they were. The children don't know who they are, not that our Heavenly Father or Christ didn't or don't know.

Now if the children were not to remember who they are, who is it that is going to remind them?
