Is the "Two House Teaching" just a Distraction?

Many teachers and ministers believe the "Two House Teaching" is simply a distraction from more important matters which deserve their/our attention. Even teachers who semi-accept the reality of Israel and Jew-dah as separate entities... rarely teach on the subject or integrate it into their interpretations of Scripture prophecy. Others simply relegate the topic to something less than core theology or too divisive to speak about (or rather, potentially too detrimental to ministry income).

What these teachers fail to realize is that our entire exegetical paradigm is thrown into confusion and error without understanding WHO Israel is and WHO Jew-dah is. Viewing the Two House reality as simply a distraction is silly, bizarre, and even dangerous (explained in a moment). Why would both Houses be so frequently referenced in historical passages and prophetic passages if Father  did not want the reality read, discussed, and understood by those who call themselves by His Name and long for His appearing and His gathering of ALL Israel? What spirit is really driving the censorship?

Of course, there are other important matters to focus our attention, such as taking care of the widow and orphan and defending the unborn, etc. Even so, censoring or diminishing the importance of other key realities is a bit remiss and dangerously so in this case. For example, "Jacob's Trouble" is another reality in Scripture prophecy... which will in effect be the most detrimental to the ENTIRE House of Jacob, both 10-Israel and Jew-dah. Yet, if Prodigal 10-Israel is unaware of WHO he is... and if he simply thinks he is going to be "raptured" out before the Trouble comes, then he is in a very disastrous and delusional state of mind.

If the shepherds truly care for the well-being of the sheep, they will inform the sheep on all aspects of the Truth.

The subject of Goyim, Nations, Peoples, "Gentile Christians", and the "Melo Ha'Goyim" (Genesis 48:19) is a difficult one for many teachers to approach and teach, but Biblical difficulty and difficult historical associations should not be cause for censorship. Difficult matters are what make studying the Scriptures and history a fun and rewarding endeavor. We often learn more and remember more longer when there is struggle involved. Thus shepherds should not use difficulty as a pretext for censorship or general lack of attention to the WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and WHO Israel and Jew-dah are.

Shalom Aleichem!
