Yair,
Congratulations on all your efforts.
Your long
vision is beginning to bare fruits.
Best Regards,
Eliezer
3. Research Requests:
1. I am seeking (preferably on the
web) lists of the most frequent surnames
in Britain, the USA, Australia, NZ,
etc and also in European countries.
2. Books or articles that discuss Biblical
place-names in the west
especially in the USA.
3. Articles on the DNA of western peoples.
4. Articles on links between western
peoples and the east.
Anyone who has knowledge of the above,
please contact me,

Note below is an article by William
F. Dankenbring claiming that the USA is
Ephraim and the UK Menasseh.
We believe the opposite as we have
explained frequently.
Nevertheless the article is worth considering
and it does strengthen
awareness of the fact that the USA
must be dominated by Joseph
and Joseph incudes both Ephraim and
Menasseh.

From: TriumphPro@aol.com
Greetings again, Yair! I liked the
article by David Skelly which you put on
your e-mail list. It was very good.
I agree with you that in general ALL
the "lost ten tribes" can carry the
name "EPHRAIM" since Ephraim is the
DOMINANT tribe and over-all leader
of them all. Nevertheless, the book of
Hosea clearly speaks of Ephraim in
particular, and individually, and God
accuses them of going astray and leading
the others astray as well. When we
look at the 20th century and beginning
of the 21st century, it is obvious
that the UNITED STATES best fulfills
the description in the Bible of Ephraim.
It is full of sports and movie "idols,"
is dominant in the world in every
way, militarily, politically, economically,
and in apostasy. In terms of
world influence, the US far outstrips
the whole of the British Commonwealth
by light years.
Of course, there is much mixture between
Ephraim, and Manesseh, and many of
the other tribes dwell in part in Ephraim.
It is a "melting pot." Have you
ever been to the USA? Have you visited
our major cities, our waterways,
rivers, valleys, national parks? The
USA is unique among the nations.
I urge you once again to reconsider
your view that England/Canada et al are
Ephraim -- they are Manesseh, primarily.
Attached is a copy of an article I
published in the last issue of Prophecy
Flash identifying modern "Ephraim" by
its national/prophetic characteristics.
(Steve Collins' point that the
British Empire USED to be great makes
no difference; in those olden times,
Ephraim was STILL largely in the UK
and hadn't become dominant yet in
America! But the POWER GOES where the
leading tribe -- Ephraim -- goes. And
Ephraim went WEST -- to AMERICA --
the "NEW Promised Land" as the pilgrims
saw it -- a land of religious freedom,
liberty, and opportunity.
Shalom!
Excerpts only:
A New Look at End-Time
EPHRAIM!
William F. Dankenbring
Of all those who
recognize that the lost ten tribes of Israel have been
found in the modern world, and are
primarily the peoples of the Anglo-Saxon
Celtic race, found in western Europe,
Great Britain, Ireland, the United
States, Canada, and related peoples,
why does almost everyone believe that
the British Commonwealth is descended
primarily from the tribe of Ephraim,
and America is descended from Manasseh?
Who Is Ephraim?
Just who is Ephraim,
we have proved before that Ephraim is none other than
the United States of America.
Yet there are many opponents of this
revelation, who continue to insist
that they are right, and that Ephraim is
the United Kingdom, primarily England
and Canada.
The Fruitful Bough and Arrows
Jacob then blessed
his sons, and said that Joseph would be "a fruitful
bough, a fruitful bough by a well;
his branches run over the wall. The
archers have bitterly grieved him,
shot at him and hated him. But his bow
abode in strength, and the arms of
his hands were made strong by the hands
of the mighty God of Jacob" (Gen.49:22-24).
Before we go on,
notice! Since Ephraim is the tribe Jacob blessed with
the greatest blessings, as the "firstborn"
of the firstborn, these promises
would be doubly applicable to him,
not Manasseh. The fruitful olive branch
is one of the primary national symbols
and emblems of the United
States! Secondly, the United
States has as one of symbols in its national
flag and seal a bundle of arrows.
Thirdly, it is the United States which
is the pre-eminent superpower among
the world's nations, whose military
prowess and might have been "made strong
by the hands of the mighty God of
Jacob." Who among all the nations
can compare with the United States in
military might?
Moses' Prophecy
In the book of Deuteronomy,
next, we find the words of Moses regarding
Joseph in the last days. He declared,
"His glory is like a firstborn bull,
and his horns like the horns of a wild
ox [or, unicorn]; together with them
he shall push the peoples to the ends
of the earth; they are the ten
thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands
of Manasseh" (Deut.33:17).
Believe it or not
as foolish as it may seem I have seen educated men,
authors of books on the subject, who
have argued that this means Ephraim
ruled over more Gentile nations than
his brother Manasseh. But that's not
what it says! The plain sense
of the Scripture is that Ephraim would far
outnumber Manasseh, in population and
military might. It is amazing to me
just how far people sometimes will
go, in the vain imaginations of their
hearts, to subvert and twist Scripture
to support a cherished myth or
personal theory!
Obviously, anybody
can see that this Scripture is speaking of relative
population, or relative size of the
armies troops of Ephraim and
Manasseh. Ephraim's military
power would be much greater than that of
Manasseh. Her population, also,
would be much greater. That is the
natural inference and plain teaching
of this passage. To argue otherwise
is simply to set a trap for unwary
readers and deceive them. We ought to
tremble before the Word of God, and
not allow ourselves to be misled in our
hearts because of previously cherished
ideas which we have assumed to be true.
Ephraim God's "Helmet"
God's Word suggests
very strongly that Ephraim was to become a mighty
military power. In the book of
Psalms, God prophesied, "Gilead is Mine,
Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the
HELMET for My head" (Psalm
108:8). "Ephraim is my helmet,"
says the New International
Version. "Ephraim is the strength
of my head," says the King James
Version. The Hebrew word is maoz
and literally means, "a fortified place,
force, fortress, rock, strength, strong,
defense, stronghold."
In Psalm 60:7, God
says, "Ephraim also is the strength of my head"
(KJV). The New King James has
it, "Ephraim also is the helmet [lit.,
"protection'] for My head."
Again, notice that
its is EPHRAIM whom God associates with military power,
strength, compares to a fortress, and
as being powerful in defense and as
being a mighty stronghold a SUPERPOWER!
He even refers to Ephraim as
being His own helmet, as a nation He
uses to protect His "head" His own
government. As Judah is the tribe
He uses for government ("the sceptre
shall not depart from Judah"
Gen.49:10; II Chron.5:1), so it is that
Ephraim is to be the protector of Judah.
Today, Judah is primarily located
in Israel! And which among the
nations is the most loyal, faithful
SUPPORTER of the state of Israel?
Another allusion
to both the connection between Judah and Ephraim the
state of Israel and America is
found in the book of Zechariah. God says,
"For I have bent Judah, My bow, fitted
the bow with Ephraim, and raised up
your sons, O Zion, against your sons,
O Greece, and made you like the sword
of a mighty man" (Zech.9:13).
The Lord compares Judah to His bow, and
Ephraim to His arrows (again, only
the United States has a bundle of ARROWS
in its national emblems!).
Now, if we look at
the United States, and compare it with the United
Kingdom, to see which would be more
likely today to be God's "helmet," a
nation He uses to protect and safeguard,
would we choose Great Britain? Or
the much more powerful United States?
Think about it!
Evidence from Hosea
But now let's look
at the evidence from the prophet Hosea. Here is where
this subject gets real interesting.
Idolatry
The first time Ephraim
is mentioned in Hosea, God says of her, "Ephraim is
joined to idols, let him alone.
Their drink is rebellion, they commit
harlotry continually" (Hos.4:17).
Indeed, our nation is FILLED with
idols from automobiles, Hollywood
actors and actresses, "movie idols,"
rock-and-roll idols, music idols, images
worshipped in churches, people
prize, esteem, "worship" the works
of their own hands. Secondly, our
nation is famous for "rebellion"
it was born in rebellion! It suffered
the "Civil War," a war fought over
the rebellion of the southern
states. Thirdly, our nation is
filled with "harlotry" prostitution,
pornography, sexual abandon!
We truly possess the identifying "marks" of
Ephraim! "For now, O Ephraim,
you commit harlotry; Israel is defiled"
(Hos.5:3). "The pride of Israel
testifies to his face; therefore Israel
and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them"
(Hos.5:5). All Israel is guilty
as charged but the worst of them all is
Ephraim, the ringleader of rebellion!
Because of this,
God says, "Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of
rebuke" (Hos.5:9). Why?
God says, "I have seen a horrible thing in the
house of Israel: There is the
harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled"
(Hos.6:10). This also refers
to spiritual harlotry, going after false
gods, false religions, PAGAN customs
and beliefs of PAGANIZED churches.
Racial Mixing
"Ephraim has mixed
himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned.
Aliens have devoured his strength,
but he does not know it"
(Hos.7:8-9). The United States
has been rightly called a "melting
pot." It has more immigrants
and peoples from other nations than any other
nation. It prides its tolerance.
Yet it is also a "cake unturned" that
is, white on one side, black or brown
on the other. "Half baked," as they
say. The mixing of the races
and nationalities also causes racial
prejudice, racial antagonisms, and
unfair practices. Racism is a real
problem. This will ultimately
result in weakening the nation, as "aliens
devour his strength."
Foreign Entanglements
"Ephraim also is
like a silly dove" (Hos.8:11). God compares Ephraim with
a "silly dove" which seeks allies in
the world. Even today, the United
States seeks to build a "coalition
against terror," and tries to make
"allies" of its enemies including
Syria, Iran, and even the
Palestinians to combat the threat
of international terrorism. American
foreign policy!
"Ephraim has hired
lovers" (Hos.8:9). The United States makes alliances
and pays foreign nations to co-operate
in its fight against
terror. Back-room deals were
struck with the Russians, and Pakistan
leaders, to gain their support in the
war on terror, the Taliban, and Al
Queda. This is much more true
of the United States than any other nation
on earth including Great Britain.
Before I go on, one
writer claims that the term "Ephraim" includes ALL the
nations of the ten tribes which were
carried into captivity, and later
re-settled in western Europe.
This statement, however, is patently false,
when it is applied to the prophecies
of the book of Hosea. When ALL the
tribes of Israel are mentioned in Hosea,
they are plainly referred to as
"Israel." In Hosea 5:3 they are clearly
distinguished from each other. We
read: "I know Ephraim, and Israel
is not hid from Me. For now, O Ephraim,
you commit harlotry; Israel is defiled."
"Therefore Israel AND Ephraim
stumble in their iniquity" (Hos.5:5).
Agricultural Wealth and Recklessness
Almighty God also
tells us of Ephraim: "Ephraim is a trained heifer that
loves to thresh grain; but I harnessed
her fair neck, I will make Ephraim
pull a plow" (Hos.10:11). Isn't
it interesting that America is the
greatest AGRICULTURAL NATION in all
the world? We love big farms, of
rolling fields of wheat, corn, rye,
millet, barley, and all kinds of
grain. Our country is the most
agriculturally blessed of all lands.
Wealth and Fraud
Ephraim also was to become a very wealthy
nation. "And Ephraim said,
'Surely I have become rich, I have
found wealth for myself"
(Hos.11:8). How true! The
United States is by far the wealthiest nation
on the earth; there is none comparable.
Our gross domestic product is the
envy of every nation on earth.
Yet at the same time,
God says, "When I would have healed Israel, then the
iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered,
and the wickedness of Samaria. For they
have committed fraud; a thief comes
in; a band of robbers takes spoil
outside" (Hos.7:1). Fraud!
Massive business corruption.
America has been
lifted up to the top of the nations. But God says, "When
Ephraim spoke, trembling, he exalted
himself in Israel; but when he
offended through Baal worship, he died.
Now they sin more and more, and
have made for themselves molded images,
idols of their silver"
(Hos.13:1-2). When our nation
was humble, in our beginnings, God blessed
us abundantly, and intervened on our
behalf. But now we have grown proud,
self-sufficient, and have forgotten
God, our Maker, and Redeemer. Now we
sin, "more and more." Truly,
judgment is coming!
Western Power
Ephraim "pursues the east wind" (Hos.12:1).
An east wind blows
west. Therefore, we would expect
to find Ephraim located in the western
part of the world and true "west"
would lead to the "western hemisphere,"
and the location of the United States
of America! We are found at the same
latitude as ancient Israel (Los Angeles
is at the same latitude as
Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv).
