That ancient free group was the seed and the miniature of today's free groups. The free groups among God's people today are actually a further development of this seed. The division which was sown by Lot was developed after the time of Solomon when the children of Israel were divided and a free group was produced. That free group, the nation of Israel, was never recognized by God. God only recognized Judah because Judah was on the proper ground. The principle is the same in the church age. The whole church should be God's one people. In the early days, the church was uniquely one. But division after division came in, producing many free groups. We praise the Lord that this division will not continue into the new heaven and new earth. It will be terminated by the Lord's coming back. (Chapter 54, section 2, Life Study of Genesis)

The way I understand this he is saying that there is a small fraction of God's people typified by Judah who represent Him and the rest of God's people don't. It is as though there are two trees, one the seed of Abraham, and one the seed of Lot. When he applies this typology to the current age he puts the vast majority of Christians in that tree that grew up from Lot's incest.
