THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME 

by Tuese Ahkiong

Scripture teaches that the scattered tribes of Israel or Diaspora were THE GENTILES we see in the NT.  They were scattered among the gentile nations and became like them because of their sin of idolatry.

Check these 2 passages out:

Amos 9:9-12 
9 “For surely I will command, AND WILL SIFT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AMONG ALL NATIONS, As grain is sifted in a sieve; YET NOT THE SMALLEST GRAIN SHALL FALL TO THE GROUND.
10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,
Who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’
11 “On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 That they may possess the REMNANT OF EDOM, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,”
Says the Lord who does this thing.

Acts 15:14-17 
14 Simon has declared HOW GOD AT THE FIRST VISITED THE GENTILES TO TAKE OUT OF THEM A PEOPLE FOR HIS NAME. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
16 ‘After this I will return
AND WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, WHICH HAS FALLEN DOWN;
I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS,
AND I WILL SET IT UP;
17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
Even all THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,
Says the Lord who does all these things.’

**In Amos, YHWH proclaims He will sift the house of Israel among all nations to gather the grain or the remnant. v12 We see the remnant of Edom which is the Diaspora who are the GENTILES who are called by YHWH's name.

Acts describes the same gentiles who are called by YHWH's Name being taken out out to be His People being fulfilled 1st century.
