Have you ever wondered why the United States has been so blessed far above the other nations of the world with riches and beauty beyond imagination. A friend of mine who taught Russian and German at Oral Roberts University, Bill Basansky's grandmother told him that God would take him to a land flowing with milk and honey. Bill was raised in the Ukraine and survived World War II and both the Germans, and the Russians and eventually came to the U.S.A. Upon arriving here in New York City and seeing all the produce while walking down the street, said he knew he was in the land flowing with milk and honey.

Those of us who have lived in this county all of our lives take it so much for granted. What a shame it is that so many Christians have been led to believe that God no longer has any prophets to speak His currant word for us. Even though He said in Amos 5:7,

" Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."

God is speaking to us through His servants the prophets today and those who have an ear to hear, and are listening, know that the Lord is about to move in here-to-fore unprecedented ways. The scripture quoted by Peter from Joel in Acts 2:17-21 is about to be poured out in unlimited measures.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

We know Bible prophecies definitely refer to Russia, Italy, Ethiopia, Libya and Egypt, of today. Could they then ignore modern nations like Britain and America? Is it reasonable? Assuredly it is not. The fact is, Britain and America are referred to more often than any other nation, however, not by direct names. Yet their prophetic identity has remained hidden to most even today. Modern nations are not spoken of in their modern names, except in a few cases.

To just come right out and speak the truth about this nation, I will say to you, it is because of the blessings that Jacob gave to Joseph's two sons Ephraim and Manasseh. Briefly, one was to become a league of nations, (British Empire) and the other one was to become a great nation and has become the greatest nation on earth, founded on the word of God. The United States is a fulfillment of this prophecy.

If we, as Christians, will stand up and stop this mass effort by evil spirits to destroy this God blessed nation, we will see this great outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord. We have a president now that has been raised up by God and is like a bull-in-a-china closet and is restructuring our nation back to the principles of God. Unlike any other president we have ever had, the forces of evil have seduced over half of our nation against him. Even many Christians who are not allowing themselves to be led by the Holy Spirit are coming against Him.

So many of our Churches never teach their members how to be led by the Spirit of the Lord. However, Jesus said in John 7:47-49,

"If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Paul said in Rom. 8:14,

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."   

Many of the Tribe of Ephraim came to The United States and were a part of the establishment of the constitution. They came from Ireland, England and some European countries. They were part of the scattered Ten Tribes of Israel. The Ten Tribes of Israel are noted in the Bible as The House of Israel. It will help you to accept this if you will understand that The Ten Tribes of Israel were not Jews. The Jews originated from the Tribe of Judah and the Bible speaks of them as The House of Judah. They were brothers but The Ten Tribes were scattered into the British Islands and various European nations that they migrated to and lost their identity which was the Lord's will for them to do so. The Lord said in Deut. 4:25-27,

"When you shall beget children, and children's children, and you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:   I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.  And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and you shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

Together Ephraim and Manasseh grew into a multitude, and then separated, according to Jacob's prophetic blessing of Genesis 48. It should be noted that certain regions of Britain contributed more heavily to the migration of those who became permanent settlers of the colonies, which later became the United States. For example, a large percentage of Americans of English ancestry when the United States began were from families originating in Norfolk and Suffolk in East Anglia. Evidently the people of this region were somewhat culturally distinct and were more driven to establish their own separate nation across the Atlantic Ocean. 

Ephraim was separating from Manasseh! How can we be Ephraim when large parts of our people have come from many nations besides England? The answer is this; a large part of Ephraim remained with Manasseh until the separation of the thirteen colonies. But our forefathers were to be sifted through many nations, as corn through a sieve, yet not a grain to fall to the earth or be lost (Amos 9:9). Our people did filter through many nations. 

Ephraim and much of Manasseh finally immigrated to England together, but many others of Ephraim who had filtered into and through other nations did not leave them until they came, as immigrants, to the United States after the colonies had become a separate nation. 

During the Scottish English troubles of the 1600's and the early 1700's many thousands of Scots moved by clan groups to European regions and from there came great numbers of colonists to America. This does not mean that all foreigners who have immigrated into this country are of the stock of Ephraim, but undoubtedly many are. Many who came here are of the Tribe of Manasseh and other Tribes of Israel. Israel however, always did absorb Gentiles, who became Israelites through living in Israel's land, adopting its customs and sometimes inter-marrying. Thus we have become known as the "melting pot" of the world. 

Ephraim was to separate from Manasseh and become the greatest, wealthiest single nation in the history of the world. The United States alone has fulfilled this prophecy. Manasseh was in fact the thirteenth tribe. There were twelve original tribes and Joseph was one of these twelve. But when Joseph divided into two tribes and Manasseh separated into an independent nation, it became a thirteenth tribe. Levi was not counted as one of the Tribes is why the term. Twelve Tribes of Israel is referred to. Is it just a mere coincidence that United States started, as a nation, with thirteen colonies?

Our forefathers who established this nation prayed to God for inspiration on how to establish this nation based on the word of God. They searched the scriptures to guide them in the smallest detail in compiling a constitution that would stand the test of time.

Of course, when Ephraim was "fully grown," he excelled his older brother, even as the USA has excelled England, and has grown much greater. Many nobility also came to the USA.  Our presidents have virtually All been related to English royalty; and our leading entrepreneurs, the Abbots, Astors, Carnegies, Rockefellers, Mellons, etc., have family ties that go back to England. This includes Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump.

What does all this mean? It means that our heritage goes all the way back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the promises of the Lord! It means that we are descendents of the Twelve Tribes of Israel!

Most people, including Christians, are not interested in these things but are concern with living a successful life. However, if you look into these things your understanding of the continuous development of the will of God, even in the days we are living in, will be enriched. God is still in control and His will for the world will come to pass in His timing.

Isaiah said in Is. 60:1-3, (NIV)

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn."

This prophecy was given to Israel and included both The Tribe of Judah, of which the Jews came from, but also The House of Israel. The United States has received the double portion of the blessings of Israel (Jacob) that he gave to Ephraim. This blessing has made the United States the greatest nation to ever exist on this earth and as such the nations of the world look to the USA for leadership and direction. Nations come to the United States looking for blessings and favors.

And today God warns Britain and the United States, through many prophecies in the books of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Micah, and numerous others whose writings are preserved in the Bible that unless the people of this generation repent of there sins and turn to him with fasting and with weeping and earnest prayer, he 'will destroy their cities, all their fortresses, by the hand of the foreign sword; that he will punish them at the hand of a cruel one; that the people shall be invaded, defeated, reduced to slaves! God help these nations to heed that warning and wake up in time! God's plan for our generation will come to pass if we will return to Him and take authority over the evil corruption that is occurring in our country! It's up to you and me to cry out to our Father for mercy and grace.

The good news coming from the prophets in this day in which we live is that it is the will of our Father to bless this nations and all the nations of the world through His church. Paul said in Eph. 3:9-11, (NKJV)

"To make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,"

As this is poured out there will be much tribulation. Much like when hot air rises and cool air falls creating a tornado. Light and darkness will clash but as we have experienced, light always dispels darkness!
