The discrimination was so strong it was unheard of for a southern man to have anything to do with a northerner, especially a northern Samaritan woman. Jesus later made the divisiveness the basis for the parable of the Good Samaritan Luke We might speculate that Jesus might also have been discriminated against simply because He grew up in Nazareth, which was technically in the northern kingdom though more on the border of the two kingdoms.
The Pharisees had an obvious disdain for Him even before they considered Him a threat. Even the people initially rejected Him John and His band of ragtag disciples. Despite it all, Jesus continually aimed toward reuniting Israel and turning the hearts of its people back to God.
His message of love and faithfulness, of loving thy neighbor as God loves us, was always at the forefront of His mind, and it won over the people both northerners and southerners. As an important side note, though He grew up in the northern kingdom of Israel, Jesus is still referred to as the Lion of Judah.
He received the title because He was born in Bethlehem in the southern kingdom of Judah. Jesus also being God had His temple in Jerusalem as well, which is also in Judah. Therefore, the title is rightfully His. But these prophecies have not yet been fulfilled. We know this because of what God promised Abraham in the book of Genesis. We also read in Genesis where Jacob placed his right hand of blessing on his grandson, Ephraim, and his left hand on Manasseh.
Joseph was quick to correct his father, but Jacob Israel meant what he did. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great, but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations. Jacob prophesied that Ephraim would become a multitude of nations. Though Ephraim did eventually become the national designation of the ten northern tribes, neither it nor its descendants have yet become a multitude of nations. The current nation of Israel is still largely made up of the original southern kingdom of Judah, while the tribes of the northern kingdom remain scattered.
But we know God promises to gather His children Matthew ; Mark and reunite the two kingdoms one day. Unfortunately, the day of that reunion has not yet come. And it may not come at all until Jesus returns to claim His kingdom fully and restore His people to Himself. Hello, would you mind sharing the source of your information?

I felt so happy that they will be both united soon, Judah and Israel but can you tell what part is Palestine in this kingdom? I am really confused in this division of land. I want to know because I need to understand why they are fighting, Israel and Palestine. Thank you and I will wait for the response. God bless. The state of Israel was established officially in , fulfilling prophecy. Judah no longer exists.
Palestine is a narrow strip of land situated along the Mediterranean Sea. One reason Palestine and Israel are fighting is because both claim Jerusalem as their capitol. After Israel was established and in subsequent years, the Palestinians were forced to relinquish whatever historical land they once claimed. While it seems Palestine is content to keep the land they have, they still want Jerusalem even though the city sits squarely in Israeli territory. The Jews want to retain control of the Temple Mount.
The fighting that is occurring right now is a proxy war the Iranians are trying to start through Hamas, a terrorist organization that controls Palestine and the Gaza Strip. Their goal is both control of Jerusalem and the eradication of Israel. I hope this helps you understand the issue.

As Israel's losses mounted, Pekah was assassinated and a new king named Hoshea took control of what was left of Israel. Accounts recorded in the Hebrew Bible suggest that the Assyrian campaign against Israel was part of a larger war in which Israel and Judah fought against each other — the Assyrians siding with Judah and a kingdom named Aram siding with Israel.
Hoshea was forced to pay tribute to the Assyrians, the Hebrew Bible says. He rebelled but was crushed by Assyrian forces around B. The kingdom of Israel then came to an end, and its remaining territory was incorporated into the Assyrian Empire. Many Israelites were deported to Assyria.
