Why Tomorrow’s World Is Different

Tomorrow’s World is unique among magazines. We do not endorse any political candidate or party, but because we believe the Bible is the word of God, we speak out against abortion and other practices condemned by our Creator. And while we believe the Bible is the standard of truth, longtime readers know that we are different from mainstream “Christianity,” which—as any informed person can see—has been corrupted by pagan practices and philosophies. But why have we chosen to be unapologetically different?

Jesus said that “this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). But has the world not already been reached with Christ’s message? Missionaries brought their teachings to North and South America, Asia, and Africa centuries ago. The complete Bible has been translated into 776 languages, and portions of it are available in 4,007 distinct languages and dialects. This means that more than 99 percent of all people on earth can have some access to the Holy Scriptures—but this is an incomplete picture (“2025 Global Scripture Access,” Wycliffe Global Alliance, August 2025).

Has the True Gospel Really Been Preached?

The Bible has indeed been spread. But the actual “good news” that Jesus proclaimed is not being taught by mainstream “Christianity.” That is a bold statement, but it can be verified by anyone willing to take the time. Yes, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a vital part of the message of the New Testament, but what was the Gospel—the good news—that He proclaimed for three-and-a-half years prior to His crucifixion?

You will notice that Tomorrow’s World has articles on Bible prophecy—something entirely missing from most mainstream denominations. And even those ministries that do focus on prophecy almost never understand the prophetic key that unlocks end-time events. That key is the ancient biblical identity of today’s modern nations. Understanding this, it becomes very clear that the modern Jewish state at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea is only a very small portion of biblical Israel.

What About the Other Sons of Israel?

Anyone can see in Genesis that Judah, the ancestor of the Jews, is only one of the twelve sons of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. Bible prophecies often apply to all twelve brothers. As you read it for yourself, you will find an account in Genesis 49 of what would become of each of the children of Israel at the time of the end. “Jacob called his sons and said, ‘Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days’” (Genesis 49:1).

We then find different messages for each of the twelve tribes. To Judah (the Jews), Israel said, “Judah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who shall rouse him?” (v. 9). Can anyone deny that the Jewish state called Israel is like a lion that is best not roused? What have we seen from the nation of Israel over nearly 80 years? This prophecy is remarkable, since it is for “the last days.”

But Moses, also, gave end-time prophecies involving the descendants of Jacob. Note this one, concerning Judah’s brother Joseph:

And of Joseph he said: “Blessed of the Lord is his land, with the precious things of heaven, with the dew, and the deep lying beneath, with the precious fruits of the sun, with the precious produce of the months, with the best things of the ancient mountains, with the precious things of the everlasting hills, with the precious things of the earth and its fullness, and the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.… His glory is like a firstborn bull, and his horns like the horns of the wild ox; together with them He shall push the peoples to the ends of the earth; they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh” (Deuteronomy 33:13–17).

I strongly recommend that you read all of Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33, where you will see that the blessings given to Judah are different from those given to Joseph, as we see clarified in this passage: “Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—he was indeed the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph [Ephraim and Manasseh], the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph’s” (1 Chronicles 5:1–2).

But what happened in the centuries between the giving of those prophecies and our day? Were all twelve tribes somehow merged into the Jewish nation? Or, as many scholars assume, were ten of the tribes absorbed by other peoples and lost to history? Did the prophecies of Jacob and Moses fail? If so, what would this tell us about the validity of Bible prophecy? Was it all just the hallucinations of old men?

Where Are Joseph’s Descendants Today?

Most professing Christians know shockingly little about this subject. Yet one part of the story that is well-known is of Joseph being sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. Genesis 37–47 gives the fascinating account of how Israel, ending up in Egypt, fulfilled prophetic dreams that God had given to Joseph 22 years earlier. Genesis 48 tells the story of how Joseph’s two sons were adopted as full sons of the patriarch Israel—even taking Israel’s name (v. 16).

Centuries after their departure from Egypt, the twelve tribes of Israel split into two nations: the southern house of Judah (the Jews and the tribe of Benjamin) and the northern ten tribes of the house of Israel. These two nations, though brothers, were sometimes allies but sometimes enemies, even fighting wars against each other. Eventually, the northern ten tribes were taken into Assyrian captivity—then, more than a hundred years later, the southern house of Judah was taken captive to Babylon.

Contrary to what some suppose, the Israelites have never been a single nation since that historic split. This is easily seen from Ezekiel’s prophecy of the two nations becoming one. God declared, “I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again” (Ezekiel 37:22). And when will they be brought back together again? Not until David is resurrected to be king over them (v. 24), when God “will make a covenant of peace with them… and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore” (v. 26).

Though everyone understands who the Jews are, very few know that the modern identity of Judah’s brother Joseph—and that of his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh—is crucial for understanding what is happening in our world today. Tomorrow’s World has a mission to preach the good news, the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. This means proclaiming the soon-coming and world-ruling Kingdom of God, as well as warning all the Israelite nations—and the world as a whole—of what will soon happen unless mankind changes its ways. Only those who have the key to end-time prophecy will understand what is happening to our world, so be sure to keep reading Tomorrow’s World to know what will surely come in the near future.
