Dear Stephen,
I, for one, would love to hear your research on the twelve tribes, as the more information we gather, the greater the picture is becoming that is being revealed to the Body of Christ in these days about the end time plan of our Father.
 
When we look at the four times Yahweh promises Abraham in Genesis to give him descendents as many as the stars of the sky and the sand of the sea, then Yahweh repeats this promise five more times to Isaac and Jacob we MUST pay attention to these nine promises and all that it entails. If God repeats something nine times, it must be important.
 
 I think when we finally understand there are twelve tribes but the Jews only come from one tribe JUDAH,  we will stop painting everything with a Jewish brush.  Israel is NOT Jewish !  The Lev.23 holy feasts are NOT JEWISH!  Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were NOT JEWISH!  Israel and Jewish are not the same thing.  Paul said he was an Israelite, a Benjaminite but he was not JEWISH!    The ten northern tribes were called the House of Israel. They were conquered and scattered in 721BC so ISRAEL WAS NO MORE and technically is still being regathered to ultimately be reunited with the House of Judah.  When will that happen?  The last, most important question Jesus/Yahshua was asked by his disciples was "when are you going to RESTORE the Kingdom of Israel?"  It hadn't happened at that time but it is going to happen in our future according to Yahshua and all the prophets, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Isaiah, Amos etc.  This is where true prophecy comes alive.
 
The House of Israel and the House of Judah are two separate peoples, have two separate destinies and the prophets spoke separately to each House about their destiny.
 
Because of the Nicean Council in 325 AD, the church fathers wanted to separate all church doctrine from anything JEWISH, therefore a Roman religion was instituted leaving behind so many precious Hebrew truths our faith should embrace.  Today, however, there are hundreds of thousands of Believers who are coming to understand the Hebrew roots of our Faith and the knowledge and plan for the twelve tribes is now being revealed so anything you could add through your research would be very helpful.
 
Thank you
