There are always two Israels, the visible and invisible. Judah is always visible and Joseph is always invisible.
When Israel was alive, Judah and his brothers told Israel that Joseph was dead. When Israel found Joseph again, he was the governor of all Egypt.
They told him, "Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt." Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them. (Genesis 45:26 NIV)
Today Joseph is missing again, with many of his brothers. They became the lost tribes of Israel. But when Israel find Joseph again, he shall become a multitude of nations.
But his father refused. "I know, my son; I know," he replied. "Manasseh will also become a great people, but his younger brother will become even greater. And his descendants will become a multitude of nations." (Genesis 48:19 NLT)
