Howdy y'all!

I have found the discussion about Ephraim very interesting.  

I wanted to ask about a couple of things:

In one of the letters, it says, "For, in Genesis, Jacob declared that the
"SEED/ZERA/DESCENDANTS" of Ephraim would become a MELO HAGOYIM." 
and further speaks of Ephraim being in the "fullness of the Gentiles."  Later
I read,
"Ephraim Israel was broken off the tree in 722 B.C., and was lost/assimilated
among the Gentiles."  I guess my basic question is this:  Did Ephraim become
part of the larger group of Gentiles or are many of the Gentiles descendants
of Ephraim (or both)?

***************

         In Genesis 12:3, God told Abraham:

"And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth 
thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth BE BLESSED"

         As I mentioned earlier, in Hebrew this reads, " ... and in 
thee shall all the nations of the earth be GRAFTED or INTERMINGLED"

         Therefore, the Ten Northern Tribes became INTERMINGLED into 
the Gentile people and nations.  This assimulation was BOTH physical 
and spiritual. Therefore, the grafting is BOTH physical and 
spiritual. So, Ephraim (Northern Kingdom) became a part of the larger 
Gentile peoples. But to take the prophecy LITERALLY in Genesis 12:3 
it says that ALL FAMILIES will be INTERMINGLED. When the assimulation 
is so complete (taking 2,700 years) that EVERY FAMILY in the earth 
will have a PHYSICAL descendent from the Northern Kingdom's 
dispersion then this will PHYSICALLY be the FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES 
(the fullness of the intermingling among all the families of the 
earth). Of course, ONLY G-D would know when this event happens as it 
is IMPOSSIBLE for us to trace our lineage back 2,700 years. For sure, 
some of us who have a heart for the Hebraic Roots of our faith, the 
Jewish people and the land of Israel are probably descendent back to 
the Northern Kingdom but ONLY G-D would know this.

Also kind of relevant to this topic, I have read that
Indo-Europeans are descendants of Japheth, the Afro-Asians descendants of
Ham, and the Semites sons of Shem.  Japheth, Ham, and Shem are the sons of
Noah.  What do y'all think?
Thanks!  

In Christ,
