Of course He knows where ALL of His chosen are, ALL of the 12 tribes, all of the house of Israel and house of Judah - do you? Do you know, if not then they are missing to you as well as most of mankind. How many know their ancestry back past 3 or 4 generations?
Now, Paul was of the tribe of Benajamin, thus, associated with the Southern tribe of Judah, yet calls himself an Israelite (Rom.11:1).
All 12 tribes are of Jacob, and his name was changed to Israel. So all 12 tribes are considered Israelites but the "Jews" are of the tribe of Judah. There is a difference in the two houses and that difference remains today. They will be brought together again but that hasn't happened yet. (Ez.37:16-22)
Jews can be of any tribe today, not just Judah and Benajamin, it is an common term now for the entire race.
It is common but it is incorrect. Aren't you glad that you now know the truth.
So being pro-Jewish means you are pro-Israelite-all 12 tribes.
That is what some believe but we know that all 12 tribes are not brought together until the millennium. Even then you must notice something about the tribes. In Rev.7: the tribes of Dan and Ephraim are not mentioned. They are left out because of idolatry. In Ezekiel 48 they are again part of the other tribes.

And why should I care if I do not know what tribe a Jew is from-as long as God does!
[ Now, Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin, thus, associated with the Southern tribe of Judah, yet calls himself an Israelite (Rom.11:1).]
All 12 tribes are of Jacob, and his name was changed to Israel. So all 12 tribes are considered Israelites but the "Jews" are of the tribe of Judah. There is a difference in the two houses and that difference remains today. They will be brought together again but that hasn't happened yet. (Ez.37:16-22)
There is a difference only in that we do not know what tribe each individual belongs to now
So, the other tribes have fallen under the title of 'Jew', but they still exist and will be revealed when the Lord returns.
That is why James writes to the '12 tribes', they still exist.
Yes, the tribes will be rejoined officially, since they will be reunited as a Kingdom again and that is what the emphasis is on, the return of the Davidic Kingdom under the Son of David (Rev.5:5).
[ Jews can be of any tribe today, not just Judah and Benjamin, it is an common term now for the entire race. ]
It is common but it is incorrect. Aren't you glad that you now know the truth.
No, it is correct, since Paul stated that he was both.
So now you know the truth.
A Jew can be of any tribe, and an Israelite can be of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin.
Anna, from the tribe of Asar, could be called a Jew as well.
[ So being pro-Jewish means you are pro-Israelite-all 12 tribes. ]

That is very true, but again the issue of bringing them together at the Millennial reign is to signify that the Jewish nation has become united again.
Now, the three groups of people are stated to be 'Jew, Gentile and Church' and that word "Jew' stands for all of the 12 tribes, not just Judah.
