[Cronos]

If you are going to be pedantic, then the house of Judah also probably includes you and me (and I don’t have any known Jewish blood) — why? Because in the 3 millenia since there were Jews, they have migrated to Europe, to India, to Ethiopia, to the US, even to Central Asia, Arabia and China. The Israelites probably spread their blood even further. So, technically speaking, nearly all of us, except those from remote tribes in the Amazon, the ANdaman islands, Papua New Guinea etc. probably have some trace of Jewish and non-Judean Israelite blood. I would guess that Everyone — including Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists etc. due to inter-breeding is, to some extent Jewish

Yes!!! You are starting to get the picture which is a large jump for most people :) If you purpose to go into this study of our faith from the Hebrew perspective you will discover that Yahweh has only one chosen people and that's the Israelites. There are only two kinds of people in the world, Gentiles (heathen and pagans) and Israelites. “If you are in Jesus Christ you are Abraham's seed” Gal.3:29. The scriptures are all over the place, 100’s of them that show that the covenant people are the Jews and Christians today. These Christians do not know they are the lost Israelite that Yahshua came to redeem. More and more of us are finding our identity both by scripture and by the Spirit. Anyone who has a love for Israel and can't explain that love, I guarantee that person is an Israelite. Others are being drawn back to their Hebrew roots and don't understand why.

Well if you go to Ezk 4:4 you will see that Yah told Ezekiel to lay on his left side 390 days, a day for a year for each year Yah was going to punish the House of Israel. Then he told Ezkiel to lay 40 days on his right side as the years He would punish the House of Judah. See, 2 different nations, 2 different peoples, 2 different judgements. Jacob was told his decendents would become a nation and a company of nations. NOT JUST ONE JEWISH NATION !!!

Anyhow the 390 years of punishment (dispersion) were multiplied by 7 according to Lev. 28 that if punishment is applied but there is no repentance then the punishment would be multiplied seven times. 390 years X 7 = 2730 years. The House of Israel's punishment began in 721 BC when they were carried off by the Assyrians. Do the math.
The punishment is up THIS YEAR. That's why so many of us are finding out our true identity. We are Abraham's seed. We are Israelites. In Hosea Yahweh said at the end of our punishment he would give us back our identity, he would have mercy and compassion on us and He would bring us back to our land. These are exciting times and Yah is calling us all back to the Scriptures where He will meet us and help us shed man's traditions and doctrines and come back to His truths. I pray you continue in these studies.
