Will Eliyahu (Elijah) precede the restoration of 10-Israel?
Before the primary question is considered, lets ponder another related one: Did Eliyahu precede and bring about Judah's return to the Land of Israel?
No, יהוה used the governments of men to restore Judah from Persia in antiquity and in recent history. I see no reason to put extra-requirements on יהוה in order to restore Ephraim (10-Israel). We know from Scripture that Eliyahu will precede the Terrible Day of יהוה and Messiah (see When will Eliyahu come?), but where does it say Eliyahu will precede the regathering of at least a part of Ephraim?
Why should Ephraim receive a special prophet to evacuate them from suffering while Judah received no such prophet? Is Ephraim more special than Judah? No, Ephraim is not. Judah should have known and Ephraim should know that suffering and punishment is coming because of what Jeremiah 30:11 foretold. We can tickle our ears the same way Judah tickled her ears pre-1940s (thinking everything is going to be okay), but did the secular and religious false-prophets help save any of the Jews?
People question: I just don't see how the poor are going to return to Zion. How are we going to make it financially? But the thing Ephraim must realize is that many of the rich of Judah were made poor because of the German Nazis. And the surviving poor of Judah found a way to return, by foot, by boat, and by plane. The wise remnant of Ephraim will do the same as the wise of Judah. The surviving remnant will likely do the same as well. I'm completely for Eliyahu supernaturally providing for Ephraim and Judah's return. I would be content if יהוה just translated us all to Zion in the same fashion He did with Philip in Acts 8. And who knows, maybe He will do that in order to gather all "the woman" to Zion from the four corners of the Earth at a later period, but all I personally know now is that יהוה told His people to exit Babylon so we don't experience her judgments. The instruction to do so is starting to sound more than a little compelling. I understand Mystery Babylon (America) didn't come about until 1600 years after Revelation was given, but now we can identify Mystery Babylon the Daughter and we can discern the lateness of the age. Therefore, is it not prudent for us to leave Mystery Babylon before the proverbial and/or literal Persians destroy Babylon again?

Hello again Hanok!
I was reading this post and could use a little help discerning a few questions regarding it.
#1) In your opinion, is 10-Israel different than “The Woman” of Rev or the same?
#2) When Eliyahu comes to restore all things as per Malichi 4:5-6, I believe we, as the Body, will recognize him accordingly. He will most likely be hated due to his “Powers from Above” (Causing it not to Rain) Case in point, if he does indeed publicaly cry out for restoration and puts forth a commandment for the children of Israel and the children of Judah to flee out of Babylon and abroad (Jer. 50:4-6) Does he call for the Church or “The Woman” to go back to Israel at that time as well?
#3) (Jer. 50:2-3) tells us of the destruction of Babylon from the north by most likely Russian Nukes. My third question is this. Do you think that he (Eliyahu) will call the Church and/or The children of Judah/Israel to go back to the Promised Land and possibly fulfill “The Confirmation of the Covenant” spoken of by the Prophets (Dan. 9:27)(Gen 12: 1-4) before the NUKES start to fly or after the “Fallout” from said “NUKES”? Scripture is very Vague as to this and I do not want to assume anything with the Bible anymore. I believe the information is there for us to find but I often have trouble with this topic.
I have a million more questions to ask but I believe that these 3 have been a thorn in my side.
Your insight is always appreciated!
Your Brother in Christ/Yah,
Matthew

#1) There appear to be two women in Revelations. One, the Whore, which I think is Daughter Babylon. The other is the Bride of Messiah, which is made up of all 12 tribes (10-Israel and Jew-dah), but Ephraim/Joseph will certainly be the most representative because of the mixed multitude that will come with Ephraim.
#2) I know Tim McHyde believes Eliyahu will be the impetus for our return to the Land. He may indeed be correct… and I tend to lean in this direction and expectation as well, although I haven’t found a specific verse to back up this expectation, other than implication of him “restoring all things”.
#3) This too has been a perplexing question for me… particularly because I’m the priest of my own house and desperately want to keep them safe from “said Nukes”. (= I came very close to leaving the US last year because of this, but ultimately decided to wait (in particular for Eliyahu and the implementation of the Altar services). One question I’ve pondered is the Jer 50 reality where Israel and Judah are weeping when they leave. This indicates to me that the bulk of the Remnant will be leaving just after or right as Babylon is brought to an end. Jer 51 even indicates those who “escape the sword” will be apart of this departure. Even so, I’m still searching this matter out. It may be that many of the Remnant will have the means to leave sooner. I expect most will not (even amongst the “wise virgins”). It is even possible that Judah will open the door for us even sooner, but again… I doubt many would move even on that miracle either.
Great questions brother,
Hanok

As far as I have understood, the mystery Babylon is not only USA, but the whole world (at least almost the whole world).

There appears to be a daughter babylon and a mother babylon…. but both are intimately interwoven together on many levels… and their great influence is felt everywhere.
