3436 — Both Houses of Israel

What is meant by "both the houses of Israel," as found in Isa. 8:14?

At the time the scripture was written, nearly 750 years before Christ, it would mean the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Samaria. Prophetically it would refer to the Israel that rejected our Lord at His first advent (John 19:15; Matt. 27:25); and the engrafted house of Israel, His professed people, many of whom will not accept His second coming (Rom. 11:17-21; 2 Peter 3:3, 4; Matt. 24:37-51; 1 Peter 2:8).
