Weiland Tue, 29 May 2012 21:54:00 +0000 http://againstdispensationalism.com/?p=1229#comment-1308 When the Jews (better rendered “Judahites”) are correctly identified as descendants of *only* the two-tribed house of Judah, and the ethne (poorly translated “Gentiles,” even the capitalization is incorrect) are correctly identified as merely nations (rather than non-Israelite nations), everything in Ephesians 2 regarding the ethne fits perfectly (in fact, fulfills beautifully many Old Testament prophecies) regarding the nations of the divorced and dispersed ten-tribed house of Israel.

Ephesians 2 is a parallel passage to Romans 11 regarding the uniting of the two olive branches into one tree and which is the thrilling fulfillment of Ezekiel’s two-stick prophecy concerning the reuniting of the house of Judah and the house of Israel.

For more, see “The Mystery of the Gentiles: Who Are They and Where Are They Now?” at http://www.missiontoisrael.org/mystery-of-gentiles/index.php, which contains a chapter each devoted to Romans 11 and Ephesians 2.
