"And in that day I will answer, declares the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth, and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel, and I will sow her for myself in the land. And I will have mercy on No Mercy, and I will say to Not My People, 'You are my people'; and he shall say, 'You are my God.'" (Hosea 2:21-23 ESV)
As indeed he says in Hosea, "Those who were not my people I will call 'my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call 'beloved.'" (Romans 9:25 ESV)
Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (1 Peter 2:10 ESV)
Ephraim was changed from "not my people" to "my people".
Gentiles who became Christians were changed from "not my people" to "my people".
So the following could be true:
- Gentiles who became Christians will join the tribe of Ephraim during the millennial kingdom.
- Some Christians could be the descendants of the lost tribes of Israel and will rejoin their respective tribes during the millennial kingdom.
