Israel is scattered. 10 tribes were scattered 1000's of years ago, and Judah was scattered after the temple was destroyed. The Israel we see today in the "middle East" is a man made nation (1948) and is comprised of those whose ancestors lived in Central and Eastern Europe (e.g., Germany, Poland, Russia). they can also be referred to as Edomites. In the Bible in revelation the Messiah says "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." Isaiah 63 shows what happens to this askinaz tribe in the last days. They have a date with Messiah and he is taking it personal.
