Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful
day of the LORD; and he shall turn the
heart of the fathers to the children, and
the heart of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

From this we see that in the end times Elijah's
work must be completed.  What was Elijah's
work? 

Elijah was a prophet to the House of Israel
(The Northern Kingdom now known as the
Lost Ten Tribes) He spent his life trying to
turn the House of Israel away from idolatry
and back to God.

Remember, when he confronted the prophets
on Mount Carmel, he was confronting his
fellow ISRAELITES and not pagans from a
neighboring nation.

All of the prophets point to an end time when
the House of Israel returns from exile.

Messiah will arrive only after the House of
Israel returns. This will only happen when the Lost Tribes repent of their idolatry.

The hearts of the fathers (the House of Judah)
must turn to the children (the House of Israel)
Judah must be willing to teach Israel as she
returns.  And the House of Israel must be willing
to be taught.  If this does not happen, Messiah
will NOT return and the world is doomed.

The Path of the Righteous Gentile

I was not a big fan of the Bnei Noach movement.  I, believing that I was a member of the Northern Kingdom, thought being a Bnei Noach was what Gentiles were.  And I was NOT a Gentile.

It is so hard to agree upon terminology, because the meaning of words change and are used differently over the course of time.

In reality, all of us from the Northern Kingdom are LOST.  We have BECOME Gentiles.  In Hosea, the prophet says that we are now NOT a people.

So for us, to come from being lost among the Gentiles to become a righteous Gentile, is a HUGH step. 

Then to give up this position to take on the entire yoke of the law (while being told we didn't need to) and to be willing to submit to the authority of the House of Judah, brings us through a necessary process of humility and submission before God.
