I am new here and was just reading a lot of the replies to this topic.  Man there are lots, and many of you have done your research, wow!!
One of two questions I have is why is that many believe that Israel is only Jews??  Jews are only from the Tribe of Judah and make up 1/12 of Israel.  Israel should consist of all 12 tribes, correct??

The other question is in regards to the prophecies of Israel and the reuniting of the House of Judah and the House of Israel, like found in Ezekiel 37:15-23.  I have just started studying this topic, and found that the Bible is full of verses pertaing to this restoration of the seperated houses in the last days.  Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this??
