STEP 3 - The Division of The Tribes of Israel

Division of The Kingdom of Israel

Picture reproduced with kind permission of UAFC in South Africa

Israel was divided into two separate kingdoms after the death of Solomon.
Read: 1 Kings 11:9-13, 28-37; 12:4-6, 12-15, 21

Both Kingdoms were separately carried off into captivity by separate empires. Scripture shows that only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and some Levite priest ever returned to Palestine.
Read: Ezra 1:1-5, 2:1, 4:1-4, 10:7-9.

The Northern Kingdom of 10 Tribes went into Captivity in Assyria from 751 BC and the Southern Kingdom went into captivity in 604 - 586 BC and the a remnant of the Judahites returned in 534 BC from Babylon.

There is no Scripture anywhere that says the two sections ever reunited in Old Testament times. On the contrary, Scripture speaks of the reunion of all the tribes of Israel in the last days. This reunion took place under the terms of the New Covenant which was ratified by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is the Shepherd of Israel who has joined the two sticks together as prophesied by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 37:19). Jesus Christ is the High Priest (Hebrews, Chapters 2 through 10, and 13), a Minister of the sanctuary (Hebrews 8:1-2) and Mediator of a better covenant (Hebrews 8:6) to both the House of Israel and the House of Judah (Hebrews 8:7-13). The middle wall of partition has been broken down between the two houses and they have both been made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:11-22).
Read: Isaiah11, Ezekiel 37:15-28, Jeremiah 3:6-12, 14, 16-18
