Most people read 'Israel' as one undivided people. But after King Shelomoh, the nation split into two houses: Judah in the south and Israel, also called Ephraim or Joseph, in the north. They were scattered at different times, by different empires, into different places. And through the prophets, Yahweh made a promise that holds the whole hope of the set-apart walk: He will gather both houses and make them one nation again, under one King, in their own land. This is the story of the scattered coming home.
