[FONT="]When Jacob was blessing Joseph’s two sons, note what the prophecy of Ephraim was that his seed shall become a multitude of nations (melo goy’m) or fullness of the Gentiles. The House of Israel is also known in scripture as Ephraim. Note where this multitude of nations/gentiles will come from. They will come from the West. The House of Israel never returned after captivity and were scattered throughout the whole world. We cannot know our bloodline as to which tribe or tribes are in our genes, but it doesn't matter, because Christ's invitation is to the whole world. Romans 11 we are grafted in to Israel (the good olive tree).[/FONT]
