When Yahweh promised Abraham 4X that his seed (sperm) would be as many as the stars and sand, He was showing Abraham the vast multitude of descendants that would come from Isaac the child of promise. Isaac was given the promise and Jacob was given the same promise. The Promise is referred to in the N.T. It is pivotal to Biblical understanding.
Gen. 12:3 which Gal.3:8 says is the Gospel points to Abrahams seed being MIXED INTO ALL NATIONS! red and yellow, black and white... The ten northern tribes (House of Israel) have been scattered into ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. Jesus, through his death, burial and resurrection made it possible for all of Abraham's descendants of the Promise, to come back from their Gentile identity and return to their Israelite status.

The ten northern tribes (House of Israel) have been scattered into ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. Judah, subsequently scattered (but without loss of tribal identity), reestablished a nation/state in 1948, even though many Jews (~ 50% ?) remain outside the Land.
What is sliding way under the radar (consistent with loss of identity) is that the same applies to the House of Israel. That is, right here in plain sight (elephant in the room) is a nation that represents the House of Joseph, even though the ten tribes were/are scattered all over.
This all goes a long way in explaining why we have an evil, POS Amalekite usurper working his craft in the White House. Something about the characteristics of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph that he doesn't like. Freedom-loving people are not only refusing the shackles, they understand on a visceral level that a bondage-loving ruler is not one of them and is brazenly claiming a birthright not his.
