The fact is that the Bible clearly states that remnants of all 12 tribes eventually ended up in Judah. They intermarried and at this point only God knows the genealogies of the Jews. 12,000 of each tribe will be chosen in accordance with the book of Revelation.
Frankly I don't know why anyone feels the need to make a big deal about it. I don't plan on being here when it happens. When the age of the Gentiles is complete, I expect to be sitting down at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I expect to be sitting down for a feast when God pours out his wrath upon the earth.
I'll explain it all to you when we get there.
They will be joined but that is yet future:
Ezekiel 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: (17) and join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. (22) And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
I'll explain it all to you when we get there.
Won't it be wonderful when we know the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Could you show me where it says this....that remnants of all 12 tribes eventually ended up in Judah?

The reason we are making any kind of a "deal" out of it.....it is something mainstream Christianity ignores and attempts to cover up because it disturbs their "touchy feely" view of the work of the Apostles.
Our Lord directed the twelve to go where??? Israel....not the Gentiles....but to Israel! [Matthew 10:5-6] He then selected Paul to evangelize the Gentiles [Acts 9:15]. Then mainstream Christianity comes up with a non scriptural theory that Peter ignores this directive from The Lord and goes to Rome to establish the Church. Utter nonsense!
Peter evangelizes the circumcised (including the Jews and Israel) [Galatians 2:7-9][1 Peter 1:1-2], and never appears in Rome in the pages of scripture. He only goes to Cornelius....not to evangelize (Cornelius was already a man of God), but to show the way to salvation for the Gentiles.... directed by the Holy Spirit. He does this because God's chosen Apostle is still in Arabia sorting things out [Galatians 1:17]!
So....here we have the beginning story of Christianity....(according to the word of God), which is about 180 degrees opposite of what the Catholic Church has been teaching for two millennia. Unfortunately, Martin Luther was also ignorant of this false doctrine.The error is based primarily on the misunderstanding of "Just who constitutes the Nation of Israel".....then and now!
As I have pointed out in earlier postings, first century historians said the the Ten Tribes were still beyond the Euphrates River and of such a multitude that no one could count them. They also said there were two Tribes left in Asia "Minor" subject to Roman control. These two tribes were obviously Judah and Benjamin (Levi was split between the two). Peter and the twelve were instructed by Our Lord to go (beyond the Euphrates).....to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, but ask anyone member of the main stream church about it and you'll get this:
Frankly I don't know why anyone feels the need to make a big deal about it.....as he rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
Amen.

I rather agree.
Though I’m increasingly of the perspective that only those with their lamps full of Holy Spirit, with extra oil etc. . . . will go up in the first ELEVATOR UP.
