Yes, America…and Britain. As difficult as it is to believe. We. Are. Israel. We are descended through Jacob’s son, Joseph. Then through Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. (Genesis 48:17-20)
Britain came through the line of Ephraim; America through the line of Manasseh. As history reveals, many migrated from England to the shores of North America. Over time, the colonies established there grew into the United States of America.
It is because of Jacob’s blessings on Joseph’s sons that we have thrived as two of the greatest nations in the world. (Genesis 48:14-20) According to Scripture, Ephraim and Manasseh together received the right to the name Israel. Their descendants were never Jews. Jews came through the line of Judah, another of Jacob’s sons. (Read I and II Kings and I and II Chronicles which devote more to the two, separate, rival nations of Judah and Israel.)
Also, if you recall, Jacob was renamed by God and called Israel. (Genesis 32:28) This label, this name, came upon Ephraim and Manasseh. It became the national name of their descendants.
Therefore, the real Israel, racially and nationally, is Ephraim and Manasseh.
Ephraim, Manasseh And The Lost Tribes
According to Scripture, Manasseh was to become the single great nation; Ephraim, the company of nations. Or, the United States of America and the British Commonwealth:
“In Genesis 48:19, Jacob prophesied that Manasseh “shall become a people, and he also shall be great,” but added that Ephraim’s descendants “shall be greater than [Manasseh], and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.” With these words Jacob prophesied that Manasseh and Ephraim would receive the blessing of Genesis 35:11 that the “birthright” promises would eventually include “a nation and a company of nations.” Genesis 48:19 specifically foretold the descendants of Ephraim (the younger brother) would become the “multitude of nations” while Manasseh’s descendants would become the single great nation…
“Since Ephraim was to be the “greater” of the two, and received its birthright blessing first, we should expect that Ephraim would receive its inheritance before Manasseh. History fulfilled that expectation. Great Britain rose to international prominence before the United States, and was a major international power for centuries before being replaced by the United States in the post-World War II period. At its zenith, the British Empire also ruled over many more nations and a far greater geographic area than the United States ever has. For a time, it was true that “the sun never set on the British Empire” because the British Empire ruled much of the world! At its zenith, it ruled over Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, many Black African nations, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, eastern New Guinea, and any islands in Oceania. It was without question, the most expansive empire in the history of our planet. According to the 1943 Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, the British Empire once ruled 13 million square miles of the earth’s land surface. (And that was before British rule was temporarily extended over Palestine, Jordan and Iraq after World War II!) Britain’s navies also controlled much of the world’s sea surface as well. “Britannia rules the waves” was a common axiom in Britain’s glory days. The British Empire inherited the “birthright” promises of controlling the “gate of its enemies” (strategic “chokepoints” such as the Suez Canal, Gibraltar, and the Cape of Good Hope). British ownership of the Falkland Islands controlled access around Cape Horn between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and its colony in Singapore controlled the strategic Strait of Malacca between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.
“The United States of America (Manasseh) inherited its “birthright” portion after Ephraim had inherited its dominant portion of the “birthright.” At its height, Manasseh ruled the United States, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii (which later became states), Cuba and various islands in Oceania. The United States long controlled the Panama canal, one of the world’s most strategic “gates.” While the United States is clearly more powerful than Great Britain in our modern world, the British empire was far greater in a historical sense. While the British sought to expand its empire, the United States has exhibited an “isolationist” tendency in its history, and has not sought to rule a large empire. While the British used their armies to conquer and hold territory, America typically withdraws its armies quickly from conquered territory. In World Wars I and II, the Persian Gulf War, etc., America has exhibited no desire to create an empire out of conquered territory, even though it had the power to easily do so.” (Excerpt from pages 385 to 389 of The “Lost” Ten Tribes of Israel…Found by Steven M. Collins.) (http://www.servantsnews.com/sn9705/s705011.htm)
“Not all who came to America – the melting pot – were of the line of Manasseh, but many were. The proof that we are Manasseh is overwhelming. Manasseh was to separate from Ephraim and become the greatest, wealthiest single nation of earth’s history. We alone, America, through the line of Manasseh, have fulfilled that blessed prophecy.
“Joseph was one of the twelve tribes. His children were blessed jointly, but Manasseh became a thirteenth tribe because it separated from Ephraim. This may also explain why thirteen colonies were initially set up in America. Thirteen is actually a blessed number, not one to be avoided by superstition.
“The remaining eight tribes of Israel were also blessed, although they were scattered to different areas of the world. However, there is evidence to confirm that such were descended into many northwestern nations which include Holland, Belgium, Denmark, northern France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Sweden, and Norway. The people of Iceland are also of Viking stock.
“The nations of northwestern Europe are, in fact, the people of The Ten Tribes of Israel.” (Armstrong, pp. 103-104.)
What This Means For America And Britain
So now that our true identity has been established, confirming that we are descendants of Israel, what does this mean for America and Britain?
Well, to put it bluntly, if you are not saved and have Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you will soon face a corrective punishment from God, seven times more intense than the world has ever seen. The Tribulation. (Leviticus 26:21)
Man is walking contrary to God’s laws. The two worst sins we have refused to repent of are idolatry and Sabbath breaking. We have also allowed the legalization of heinous sins that God abhors.
“But, I go to church every Sunday,” you may argue. Well, the sad Truth is, is that Saturday is the true Sabbath, not Sunday. Anyone honoring the true Sabbath sets them apart from the sun worshippers. God distinctly said, in His Word, “It {the Sabbath] is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever, for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” (Exodus 31:17)
Did you notice it? Honoring the true Sabbath is a sign. It sets true believers, those who are obedient and committed to following God’s laws, as apart. It is a way for God to separate the sheep from the goats, especially during the last days. Today, although many know the truth of this command, one that pertains to all of mankind forever, not just Israel or the Jews, they refuse to change their Sunday worship schedules. And those churches that refuse to repent of this and change their way of doing things, and their false doctrines, will be punished for it.
As the Sabbath is a sign, so will be the Mark of the Beast. Both are voluntary. God gives us the ability to choose to honor the Sabbath, as He commands. And He gives us the choice as to whether or not to take the Mark of the Beast. Again, to take the Mark will guarantee the bearer an eternity in Hell because it identifies that person with the Satanic system of the AntiChrist.
So, basically, you should honor the True Sabbath and do NOT take the Mark of the Beast, the coming RFID chip.
The Pride Of Our Power
It wasn’t until after 1800 A. D. that both America and the United Kingdom began to grow into riches and power so vast that no other nation had ever experienced them before. This came about because of the blessings of Ephraim and Manasseh. But, by 1966, we began to lose all these things. Why? Because of the pride of our power and our ungratefulness to God, Who gave us all of it. These are sins that have added to the downward spiral of both Britain (once called Great) and America. Because of all these sins, we will be correctively punished by God.
According to Herbert W. Armstrong, “…By 1966…the British Colonial Office in London closed its doors, marking the official death of the British Empire.” (The United States and Britain in Prophecy, p. 154)
* * * *
“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I AM the LORD your God.
“Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I AM the LORD.” (Leviticus 26:1,2 KJV)
* * * *
“And God said unto him, “I AM God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.” (Genesis 35:11 KJV)
* * * *
Yes, according to Scripture, just as God punished the Israelites who rebelled against Him after He brought them safely out of Egypt, America and Britain will be punished.
As mentioned, Britain’s sun has already set, and America is rapidly teetering on the edge of the greatest fall of any nation before it. Because we have sinned and rebelled against God and His laws. And unless we repent and turn away from our wickedness, we will suffer the consequences. To correct us, we will be conquered and invaded by our enemies and become slaves, as did the Israelites before us. Because of the United Nations of Europe.
Have you not noticed where America is now headed? We have a weakened military, a declining economic system, extremes of poverty such as never has been experienced here before. Had you been paying attention, you would have realized that we have not won a war in years. And don’t forget what happened on September 11, 2011, to name a few instances of our decline.
The ball has already been set into motion. America and Britain have turned from God. And we are on the brink of total domination by the New World Order, in the form of Communism. I don’t think I need explain what that means, folks. It means control over us, complete slavery to our enemies, the evil of this world. Domination by AntiChrist.
There Is Hope
Not everyone will fall under slavery or complete control. It is through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, that many will be counted worthy to escape what is to come. However, we need to understand that He will punish our nation, and others, as a corrective measure. To bring us back to Him completely. We have become stubborn, hardhearted, and rebellious. The coming Tribulation is meant to teach us total submission to His authority and to break our rebellion. He has been patient long enough, and our time is up. But know that God loves us sincerely. He is not punishing us out of hatred for us or because He enjoys it. It is now necessary for our own good. We have always known that our sins have consequences. We are soon to find out what those consequences will be. And it won’t be pleasant.
“Scripture reveals that the throne of David was first overturned by Jeremiah and replanted in Ireland. It was overturned a second time and replanted in Scotland. It was overturned a third time and replanted in London. So when Jesus Christ returns to earth to sit on that throne, it will be a live, existing throne. Not a non-existent one. (Luke 1:32) When Jesus returns, He will then set us free from our yokes of slavery under which the AntiChrist will place many. But, until then, America and Britain will suffer a punishment unlike anything the world has ever known. Seven times worse than anything in history.” (Armstrong, p. 102)
Individuals who yield to and accept God’s correction shall be protected from the worst of the Tribulation. However, all nations as a whole will have to go through it at some point. Not just America and Britain. But until people turn from their evil ways and turn back to the ways that cause peace, happiness, prosperity, and all good things that God has for us, He will keep chastising us intensely. Sevenfold.

“And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass;
“And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
“And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.” (Leviticus 26:19-21 KJV)
* * * *
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved [alive]: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” (Matthew 24:21-22 KJV)
