1. Overview.

The Lost Ten Tribes were exiled by the Assyrians. We can trace their pathways of migration from the Middle East to Western and Northern Europe.
Within these areas we find that groups from the same Tribes tended to converge in the same areas.
We identify different Tribes by the names of Tribes (e.g. Danes from Dan) or by the names of Tribal Clans within the Tribes
e.g. Galadi (Galatae) from Gilead.
The British Isles was settled by groups from several of the Tribes but especially from those of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh.

The west and north of the British Isles were dominated by groups from Manasseh whereas the south and east pertained more to Ephraim.

The son of Manasseh was Machir from whom emerged GILEAD (pronounceable as Gileath) from whom came the Gododin of northern Wales and the Galadi -Galatians of Gaul and the Caledonians in Scotland. The sons of Gilead were Jeezer, Helek (Chelek), Asriel, Shechem, Shemida, and Hepher (Numbers 26:30). These became Tribal groups who settled in Britain.

The early settlers of the USA came overwhelmingly from those parts of Britain that had been dominated by Manasseh.

# From the west of England and from Wales, Scotland, and Ireland the United States of America received approximately eighty-seven percent (sic. 87%) of its British immigrants in its formative period. # Calvin KEPHART, "Races of Mankind, Their Origin and Migration," N.Y. 1960, p.438, n.314, "Based on the statistics of the U.S. Department of Labour and the assumption that 2/3 of the.immigrants from England had had such antecedents".

In the area of Frisia (northern Netherlands) descendants of Manasseh (the Fransa-Masani) had been present and they later invaded England alongside the Angles and Saxons. East Anglia is said to have received a substantial immigration from Frisia and these too contributed significantly to the early populating of America.

So too, many of the early German settlers to the USA were of different stock from those who remained behind. They came from areas in which descendants of Manasseh had sojourned.


In General

Manasseh is the USA because:

Names of Tribes in Britain and Europe who mainly moved to North America are those of Clans from Manasseh.

The name "America" is derived from the Hebrew "Ha-Machiri" meaning Descendants of Machir the first born son of Manasseh.

The name Manasseh in Hebrew means Responsible Representation which is the form of Government of the USA, and reflects its national character.

Manasseh was to become great after Ephraim (Genesis 48:19). This is explained by the "Bnei Yissachar" (Rabbi Zvi Elimelech Spira, 1783-1841, Marcheshvan 1:4), and by the "Malbim" (Rabbi Meir Leibush ben Jehiel Michel Weiser, 1809-1879). See Rabbi Fishel Mael, "Hashevetim," 5757, p. 490.

Great Britain and its Dominions (representing Ephraim) preceded the USA.
The Natziv (Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, 18161893) says that the material prosperity of Manasseh was to exceed that of Ephraim.

Prophecy:
Joseph (including Manasseh) was to become the greatest, most powerful (Numbers 24:7-9 Micah 5:7-9, Deuteronomy 33:27 33:29, Jeremiah 51:20-21, Zechariah 10:7), and most wealthy of all nations (Genesis 27:28 49:25 Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8), and also extremely numerous (Genesis 15:5, 22:17, 24:60, 32:12, Numbers 23:10, Isaiah 10:22, 26:15 Hosea 1:10) . The USA and the British Peoples fulfilled this role. The USA is still responsible for more than one-fifth of world economic output. The USA Defense expenditures, armies, air-force, and navy, etc., taken together outweigh those of the rest of the world combined.

We shall return to this matter below.

2. Ten Tribes will Return from America.
The Ten Tribes when they return will come from America:

Menasseh ben Israel (1640s) opined:
Isaiah 60:
9 SURELY THE ISLES SHALL TRUST IN [WAIT FOR] ME, AND THE SHIPS OF TARSHISH FIRST, TO BRING THY SONS FROM FAR, THEIR SILVER AND THEIR GOLD WITH THEM...
They shall then come with seed from those countries, prostrating themselves at the Mountain of the LORD in Jerusalem, as the Prophet Hosea says of that Redemption, in

Hosea chapter 11:
10 THEY SHALL WALK AFTER THE LORD.
HE WILL ROAR LIKE A LION.
WHEN HE ROARS,
THEN HIS SONS SHALL COME TREMBLING FROM THE WEST;]
11 THEY SHALL COME TREMBLING LIKE A BIRD FROM EGYPT,
LIKE A DOVE FROM THE LAND OF ASSYRIA.
AND I WILL LET THEM DWELL IN THEIR HOUSES,
SAYS THE LORD.

so says Isaiah in:

Isaiah 60:
8 WHO ARE THESE WHO FLY LIKE A CLOUD,
AND LIKE DOVES TO THEIR ROOSTS?
[9 SURELY THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR ME, AND THE SHIPS OF TARSHISH FIRST, TO BRING THY SONS FROM FAR, THEIR SILVER AND THEIR GOLD WITH THEM, FOR THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND FOR THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE HE HATH GLORIFIED THEE. ]

Isaiah 11:
11 It shall come to pass in that day
That the LORD shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the islands of the sea.

Menesseh ben Israel says:
# ....THE ISLANDS OF THE SEA, SO MOST TRANSLATE IT; BUT I THINK IT IS TO BE RENDERED THE ISLANDS OF THE WEST, FOR ("YAM") IN HOLY SCRIPTURE SIGNIFIES "THE WEST," AS IN GENESIS 28:14, AND IN MANY OTHER PLACES; AND UPON THIS ACCOUNT THOSE ISRAELITES ARE IMPLIED, WHO ARE WESTWARD FROM THE HOLY LAND, AMONG WHOM THE AMERICANS ARE.

Manasseh understood there were to be 8 centers to which the Ten Tribes were to be found in the End Times and America was to be one of them!
This is how the Literal Sense of the Bible renders it!

Isaiah 60:
9 SURELY THE ISLES SHALL TRUST IN [WAIT FOR] ME, AND THE SHIPS OF TARSHISH FIRST, TO BRING THY SONS FROM FAR, THEIR SILVER AND THEIR GOLD WITH THEM...
They shall then come with seed from those countries, prostrating themselves at the Mountain of the LORD in Jerusalem, as the Prophet Hosea says of that Redemption.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3. Doves and Columbia.

In the quoted verses we find the references to DOVES:

Hosea chapter 11:
10 THEY SHALL WALK AFTER THE LORD.
HE WILL ROAR LIKE A LION.
WHEN HE ROARS,
THEN HIS SONS SHALL COME TREMBLING FROM THE WEST;]
11 THEY SHALL COME TREMBLING LIKE A BIRD FROM EGYPT,
LIKE A DOVE FROM THE LAND OF ASSYRIA.
AND I WILL LET THEM DWELL IN THEIR HOUSES,
SAYS THE LORD.

so says Isaiah in:

Isaiah 60:
8 WHO ARE THESE WHO FLY LIKE A CLOUD,
AND LIKE DOVES TO THEIR ROOSTS?
[9 SURELY THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR ME, AND THE SHIPS OF TARSHISH FIRST, TO BRING THY SONS FROM FAR, THEIR SILVER AND THEIR GOLD WITH THEM, FOR THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND FOR THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE HE HATH GLORIFIED THEE.

Columbia. Wikipedia and other Sources.
Especially in the 19th century, Columbia was visualized as a goddess-like female national personification of the United States and of liberty itself, comparable to the British Britannia, the Italian Italia Turrita and the French Marianne, often seen in political cartoons of the 19th and early 20th century. The personification was sometimes called Lady Columbia or Miss Columbia. Such an iconography usually personified America in the form of an Indian queen or Native American princess.

After Columbia Pictures adopted Columbia as its logo in 1924, she has since appeared as bearing a torch similar to that of the Statue of Liberty, unlike 19th-century depictions of Columbia.

The adjective Columbian has been used to mean "of or from the United States of America" such as in the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago, Illinois. It has occasionally been proposed as an alternative word for American.

Christopher Columbus Was Not His Real Name. In Italian he is known as Cristoforo Colombo, which was long thought to be his birth name, and in Spanish as Cristobal Colon.

The word Columbus means dove in Latin!

In Latin, the name Columba means dove a symbol of peace and love.

4. A Picture of Egypt - the Great Seal Pyramid of Joseph.


The Standard of Joseph depicted a picture of Egypt (Midrash Bamidbar Rabah). This may have been a pyramid. A pyramid is depicted on the US Great Seal (as portrayed on a Dollar Bill) representing the USA.

Joseph as Provider to all the World.

Joseph was responsible for feeding Egypt and the surrounding nations (Genesis 41:57, 42:6). The USA has aided and helped every nation on earth. The Green Revolution (19501960s and onwards) was the work of US Scientists funded by US philanthropic institutions. The Green Revolution enabled the production of plants and agricultural techniques adapted to solve problems of growth in Third World countries. Hundreds of millions of people are alive today thanks to the advances made by these steps.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
5. America as Machir and the Number 13.

America - Machir

America is named after "Ha-Macheri" meaning literally the Sons of Machir. Machir was the first-born son of Manasseh son of Joseph (Genesis 50:23, Numbers 26:29, Numbers 32:39-40, Numbers 36:1, Judges 5:40, 1-Chronicles 7:14, etc). Machir was the forefather of the Gileadites (1-Chronicles 2:21).

Machir was also the name of a Jewish Prince in southern France. His given name in Hebrew was Machir but in Latin Transmutations it became Aimerico and eventually Americo. Arthur J. ZUCKERMAN ("A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 768-900", New York, 1972, p.131 n.38, p. 375) notes that Machir was referred to as Al Makhiri, as "Aimerico," and as "Aimericus." Zuckerman describes how Machir ("Aimericus") became a legend whose name was celebrated in the ballads of Southern France and neighboring regions. In Hebrew his name was Machir. He was also referred to in Hebrew as "Ha-Machiri". In Biblical Hebrew "Ha-Machiri" means "Descendants of Machir" or "Pertaining (in the plural) to Machir." In Medieval Jewish Hebrew writings of that time however the name "Ha-Machiri" became a diminutive (nickname) in the singular for this prince known otherwise as Machir. The names Machir and Ha-Machiri were transcribed from the Hebrew into Latin as Americo and similar terms. As a result the appellation entered the stock of names of the region. Americo Vespucci (14541512) received the name and gave it to America. America was named after Americo Vespucci! Divine Providence wanted it that the USA (i.e. America) should be named by the same name as the first born son of Manasseh and have a name meaning Descendants of Machir. In everyday speech the term America is understood to specifically refer to the USA!

"Machir" in Hebrew also connotes Capitalism. The USA is the foremost capitalist nation.

The Hebrew meaning of the name "Manasseh" was analyzed by Rabbi Shimshon Rafael Hirsch, 18081898. Rabbi Hirsch in effect says the name connotes Responsible Representation! This principle became a foundation of the American National Character.

When both Ephraim and Manasseh are counted as separate Trbies and all the other Tribes are included we find 13 Israelite Tribes.
e.g.
In Exodus ch. 1, we find:

Reuben
Simeon
Levi
Judah
Issachar
Zebulon
Benjamin
Dan
Naphtali
Gad
Asher

This gives us 11 Tribes onto which we add Joseph (Exodus 1:5) making 12.
Joseph however is listed elsewhere as two separate tribes Ephraim and Menasseh.
That makes 13!
Nevertheless the Bible maintains a quorum of 12 Tribes by either not counting Levi (who was scattered among the Tribes), or by not counting Simeon.

Joseph was considered the firstborn by birthright Tribe:

1-Chronicles (INKJV) 5:
1 NOW THE SONS OF REUBEN THE FIRSTBORN OF ISRAEL HE WAS INDEED THE FIRSTBORN, BUT BECAUSE HE DEFILED HIS FATHERS BED, HIS BIRTHRIGHT WAS GIVEN TO THE SONS OF JOSEPH, THE SON OF ISRAEL, SO THAT THE GENEALOGY IS NOT LISTED ACCORDING TO THE BIRTHRIGHT; 2 YET JUDAH PREVAILED OVER HIS BROTHERS, AND FROM HIM CAME A RULER, ALTHOUGH THE BIRTHRIGHT WAS JOSEPHS 3 THE SONS OF REUBEN THE FIRSTBORN OF ISRAEL WERE HANOCH, PALLU, HEZRON, AND CARMI.


Ephraim son of Joseph is also referred to as the firstborn:

Jeremiah (NKJV) 31:
9 THEY SHALL COME WITH WEEPING, AND WITH SUPPLICATIONS I WILL LEAD THEM. I WILL CAUSE THEM TO WALK BY THE RIVERS OF WATERS, IN A STRAIGHT WAY IN WHICH THEY SHALL NOT STUMBLE; FOR I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN.

Since Ephraim was the firstborn then he would be counted among the 12 Tribes, Manasseh was extra, he was the 13 th.
The concept of 13 Tribal entities is therefore important to Manasseh.
We therefore have 13 stripes on the US flag representing the 13 original founding states.
Each of these states represents a different Israelite Tribes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6. The 13 Divisions of America.

The USA can be divided up into different sections based on history geography culture ethnic composition etc. We propose that 13 different sections may be found each one of the 13 relating back somehow or other to one of the original 13 states and from there to an Israelite Tribe.
e.g. New York represents Judah. There are more Jews in New York than anywhere else outside of the State of Israel. Utah also may be considered to pertain to Judah in some ways. Many of the early fsettlers of Utah came from New York. The name "Utah" is similar to a pronunciation of Judah in the time of Assyria and other ancient peoples.

Manasseh was to become great after Ephraim (Genesis 48:19). This is explained by the "Bnei Yissachar" (Rabbi Zvi Elimelech Spira, 1783-1841, Marcheshvan 1:4), and by the "Malbim" (Rabbi Meir Leibush ben Jehiel Michel Weiser, 1809-1879). See Rabbi Fishel Mael, "Hashevetim," 5757, p. 490. Great Britain and its Dominions (representing Ephraim) preceded the USA. The Natziv (Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, 18161893) says that the material prosperity of Manasseh was to exceed that of Ephraim.

Prophecy:
Joseph (including Manasseh) was to become the greatest, most powerful (Numbers 24:7-9 Micah 5:7-9, Deuteronomy 33:27 33:29, Jeremiah 51:20-21, Zechariah 10:7), and most wealthy of all nations (Genesis 27:28 49:25 Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8), and also extremely numerous (Genesis 15:5, 22:17, 24:60, 32:12, Numbers 23:10, Isaiah 10:22, 26:15 Hosea 1:10) . The USA and the British Peoples fulfilled this role. The USA is still responsible for more than one-fifth of world economic output. The USA Defense expenditures, armies, air-force, and navy, etc., taken together outweigh those of the rest of the world combined.

We saw above that Manasseh was to emerge from Joseph, to become greater after Joseph but in some ways to exceed Ephraim.
What applies to Ephraim therefore is also pertinent to Manasseh.
