Israel's spiritual state when they're regathered isn't really what decides if modern Israel is legit in prophecy.
Prophets like Zechariah and Ezekiel actually show Israel coming back in unbelief first, then later having a spiritual awakening when the Messiah comes.
So what we're seeing now - the Jews regathering in their homeland - is the physical part of these prophecies happening. The spiritual transformation is still coming.
Agreed. So what if the Rothschilds re-established Israel for their own nefarious purpose, Israel had to be established to fulfill the end times prophecies. God uses powerful men of the world to accomplish His purpose, e.g. Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, and even Herod who ordered Christ's crucifixion. Ultimately, all things will work together to accomplish God's eternal purpose.
There were 13 tribes of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, Ephraim and Manasseh. Only the tribes of Benjamin and Judah returned to their homeland after they were taken away by the Assyrians. “Jew” would only refer to someone from the tribe of Judah. It will be a wonderful day when it is revealed who the descendants of those other missing tribes are.
I believe you must be referring to the lost tribes of Israel. Well if they are lost why don't they phone home? Don't they have cellphones?
Seriously I believe after they were scattered they intermarried and have long ago ceased being a unique people.
Besides under the New Covenant it doesn't matter - there are neither "Jew" nor "Greek". Gal 3:28 - "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." It's not about bloodline anymore.
