  15. If You Don’t Follow Me… • 28:64 "Then the LORD will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known––wood and stone.

  17. 14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, • 15 but with him who stands here with us this day before Yahweh our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day.

  20. Under these three kings, all twelve tribes were governed until…

  21. Solomon Blew it! • I Kings 11:31And he said to Jeroboam (the servant of Solomon), "Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribesto you.

  22. Why? • 33 ‘because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians… and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David.

  23. The Kingdom is Split • The 10 tribes in the North were called the “House of Israel”,“House of Joseph” or just “Ephraim” • The 2 tribes in the Southern Kingdom were called the “House of Judah” because Judah received the first born blessing.

  24. The North was Warned! • Because of their continual breaking of the Covenant that was given to Adam, then Noah, then Abraham and finally written down through Moses, they were taken captive by the King of Assyria around 722B.C.

  29. Same Speech • 3 "that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you. • 4 "If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you.

  30. Same Speech • 5 "Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. • 6 "And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

  31. Has This Happened Yet?

  33. What are the “Sheep”? • John 10:3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. • John 10:4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. • John 10:7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.

  36. Scattered Sheep • "As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. Eze 34:12
