If you want to take it one step further we can go to

(Mat 15:24 KJV) But he (Yahshua) answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Look at James 1:1 To the 12 Tribes scattered abroad!!!!

The prophets tell that the lost tribes aka the House of Israel will be united with the House of Judah (Jews) to restore the Kingdom of Israel. That is in our future. Hmm...I wonder who the House of Israel is?

[John Leland 1789]

Scattered, not lost.

[John Leland 1789]

Since James wrote to the TWELVE scattered tribes (not just ten), he probably expected his letter to be read by people of ALL Twelve tribes, and probably didn’t think that “scattered” is synonymous with “lost.”

Hard to say....really, but according to [Amos 9:9] you might have some living next door to you.....and they ain't Jewish! [For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.]

[Cronos]

Hmm...I wonder who the House of Israel is?

Most likely they would be peoples of the Middle East -- part of the Assyrian Empire. So, the House of Israel would be across Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Armenia, Eastern Turkey, Azerbaijan and fringes of western Iran and northern SAudi Arabia -- all people who after enforced arabization but who earlier were Assyrians, ARameans, Hattians, etc.
