Great Britain….The Blessing Given to Manasseh, Not Ephraim

To most Believers in The Most High and His Son, the debate as to which country matches the blessing given to Joseph’s sons (Ephraim or Manasseh) simply isn’t all that important. Most Believers do not think to the depth of such things. Fact is, Most Believers wouldn’t care…..but they should. Wrapped up in this debate is, what I would call, the greatest mystery in all of scripture, which if a Believers comes to understand, it opens up the entirety of the Bible. Suddenly, the Bible makes sense, far more than it ever could before.

I am speaking specifically of the knowledge of who the Biblical end time nation of Israel actually is identified as today.

I have chosen to deal with Great Britain first because Manasseh was first born and Great Britain was a nation first, long before America.

We’ll begin by stating an often overlooked point. The meaning of the name Manasseh, which is “forgetful” or “he who forgets”. This is so important because Great Britain has so much symbolism right before their very eyes and yet, they have forgotten who they are……And when I say, they have forgotten, I mean, the last few generations have forgotten. Generations of Brits long ago certainly did know, as evidenced by the following, which is just one proof of a mountain of proofs accordingly.

Have you ever heard of The Declaration of Arbroath? We today, might call it The Scottish Declaration of Independence. Scotland declared its independence from Great Britain in 1320 of the common era and in the third paragraph, the authors, Robert the Bruce, Sir James Douglas, and Sir Thomas Randolph, and others, very plainly state the following:

“Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today.”

Staying on the Scottish theme, Joseph’s coat of many colors hold the pattern of the plaid kilt. The following article is an excellent source on this subject:

Thus is it suffice to say, as a subheading to Great Britain, Scotland lends itself to the tribe of Joseph specifically more than any of the other nations.

Now, let’s identify another characteristic of Manasseh which I believe to be proof positive of who the Brits are in the Genesis 48 prophecy. Take a look at how the 12 tribes were to be laid out right after Israel settled in the middle eastern promised land given to Abraham (which is not the same promise made to Israel in Deuteronomy 8, by the way).

Do you see how the Jordan river divides east Manasseh from west Manasseh? As we shall see in our studies, The Jordan is a type of the Atlantic Ocean. There is an eastern Manasseh, Great Britain and there is a western Manasseh, which is one half of British Canada. Ephraim is on the western side of that typological Atlantic Ocean, which would be America.

Next, take a look at Deuteronomy 33:17. This should clinch the matter as to which nation is Manasseh and which is Ephraim. The text is the last verse of the blessing Moses pronounced on Joseph and His two sons. It says this:

“As the firstborn of his ox, majesty is his, And his horns are the horns of the wild ox; With them he will push the peoples, All at once, to the ends of the earth. And those are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And those are the thousands of Manasseh.”

The firstborn of Joseph was of course Manasseh. He was the one who pushed the envelope for conquering the entire world. At one point, it could be said of The British Empire, The sun never sets….. Meaning, their conquered territory was so vast, there was always a country governed by Great Britain, on which the sun was shining at any given point in the day. This is what is meant in the above text: “All at once, to the ends of the earth.”

However, Moses then makes a pronouncement of numbers which can only be understood at this end time (in the last 100 years). As Great Britain systematically lost all that vast territory as the New World of America opened up and became great, and the territory of America grew and over-spread throughout the world. The territory of people governed by America to that of The UK is ten times more, just as Moses prophesied it would be.

A few other facts concerning Great Britain which point to a tie with Jacob/Israel, apart from the debate of which nation is Ephraim or Manasseh…

1 — The word British is a compound Hebrew word. BRT in Hebrew means Covenant. ISH in Hebrew means man. Thus British means Covenant Man, pointing back to the Abrahamic and Israelite covenants found in scripture.

2 — The flag of Great Britain is called The Union Jack. Jack is a nickname or shortened name for Jacob. Thus the Union Jack flag is representative of the Union of Jacob/Israel.

3 — The Union Jack is an overlay of two symbols. The Christian Cross and the crossed X symbol which symbolized the crossed arms of Jacob as he blessed Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh.

4 — All the Kings and Queens of Scotland and England have been coronated on the throne, which is said to be the throne of King David, which has The Stone of Scoon (Jacob’s Pillar Stone), sitting in its base, at the times each country had the throne in their possession. The two countries fought over this very throne for many, many years and it was overturned several times. Here is a picture of the throne of England:

6 — The Anglo Saxon tie to Great Britain is undeniable in history. The meanings of the words, Anglo and Saxon tell the story. Anglo means messenger and Saxon means Sons of Isaac, Sac’s sons or I-Sac’s Sons. Thus the Anglo Saxons are messengers of the sons of Isaac. Take a look at Genesis 21:12:

“But YHWH said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed because of the lad and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.”

There is so much more evidence pointing to the fact, not only that Great Britain is an Israelite nation, but more specifically, how it is the fulfillment of the blessing Jacob/Israel gave to His Grandson, Manasseh.
