The Problem With the Southern Kingdom

Once the kingdom divides, we have a country of Israel to the north, and then, and that's led by Jeroboam. We also have a country to the south, Judah, that's ledby Reheoboam. The promise to David will flow through the south. Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah. But here's the problem. If you look at a map, you will see that the dividing line between the north and the south is just north of Jerusalem. Now that poses a problem for the 10 tribes to the north inJeroboam. And that problem is they don't have access to the temple anymore.
