Who is Paul talking to when he addresses the Gentiles? What does the word "Gentiles" mean? Some see it as only referring to those who are non-Israelites/non-Jews. Some say it only refers to those of the house of Israel that were divorced and scattered in the Old Testament. There are some who teach that Ephesians 2:11-22 is not talking about Israel and non-Israelites, us, being brought together as one in the body of Christ, but is in fact only talking about the two houses of Israel, Judah and Israel, being brought together as one. Some would even go so far as to say that all references to "Gentiles" is referring not to non-Israelites, but to the ten northern tribes of Israel. They would go so far as to say that Ephesians says nothing to us, non-Israelites. It is talking about God's chosen nation Israel and the reuniting of the twelve tribes.
