Difference Between Israel and Judah
Israel vs Judah
Israelites had a single kingdom during the reigns of Solomon and David. After the death of Solomon, the country was divided into two independent kingdoms. The southern region came to be called Judah which consisted of the tribes of Benjamin and Judah. Jerusalem was their capital. The northern region was called Israel which comprised the remaining ten tribes. They had the capital at Samaria.
Israel, which was a part of Palestine, is now a republic in the Middle East. It is bordered in the north by Lebanon, east by Jordan and Syria, south by the Gulf of Aqaba, southwest by Egypt, and west by the Mediterranean Sea. Jerusalem, which was once the capital of Judah, is now the capital of Israel.
Even from earlier times, Israel was a larger region than Judah. It was also more prosperous than the southern region of Judah. But in 722 B.C., Israel ceased to exist as a kingdom after it was conquered by the Assyrians. History also states that the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem in
586 B.C., and the citizens were taken captive. It was after the Persians conquered Babylon that the Judahites could return.
In the original Greek text of the New Testament, one cannot see any differences in the names ‘Judah, Jude,’ and ‘Judas.’ But in the English translations, ‘Judah’ is described as a tribe; ‘Judas’ is used for Judas Iscariot, and ‘Jude’ for other persons. According to the Bible, ‘Israel’ was the name conferred on the patriarch Jacob after he fought with an angel of God.
Today, Israel is a hot spot with the Arab people raising opposition against the formation of the country. Israel is now the home of the Jews, and it was proclaimed a nation in 1948.

thanks so much i need more messages
God bless you for your teaching. please I want you to send me through my mail some scriptures to back the teachings on Jerusalem and Judah. Thanks
This line is incorrect. ” Israel, which was a part of Palestine, is now a republic in the Middle East.”
Israel was never part of Palestine. Rome invaded and sacked Jerusalem which is located in Israel. To humiliate them further the Roman Empire renamed the area Palestine.
The city of Jerusalem and land of Israel historically belongs to the Jews. The area that continues to be called Palestine to this day actually belongs to the Jews not the Middle East.
Thinking Palestine from earlier Greek meaning: Land of the Philistines.
Yes, I am happy you corrected the line that Israel was never apart of Palestine… SHE always has been Israel but Roman renamed it Palestine to add insult to injury. SHE will always remain Israel the homeland of the Jew where the LORD placed HIS name in Jerusalem it’s Capital.
You are so right!
