Commonwealth Theology describes itself as a consolidation of mainstream Christian theologies that better conforms the relationship between the Christian Church and today's Israel to the relationship prophesied in the Old Testament and confirmed by the writings of the Apostolic Age Church.[1] Commonwealth Theology derives its name from the Commonwealth of Israel (Eph. 2:12), which describes a commonwealth inhabited by "one new man."[2][3] This corporate body with its citizens is understood to represent both a present reality[4] achieved by Christ's atoning sacrifice and a yet-to-be-realized future united community of believers,[5][6] known as the Commonwealth of Israel,[7] who hail the Jewish House (Judah). From the House of Joseph, i.e., Ephraim (aka Jezreel, Samaria, Israel),[8] the Ten Lost Tribes "swallowed up" by the nations/gentiles (Hosea 8:7-9) – bringing the "rest of mankind" (Acts 15:17) with them into the United Kingdom of David.[9]

Similar to previous Two House theologies, Commonwealth Theology[10] looks to the Ezekiel 37 prophecy of the two sticks[11] made one as the ultimate fulfillment upon which God "will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their land; and 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" (Ezek. 37:21–22 NKJV).
