America and Great Britain –

Our Identities Unveiled!

The Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland (top right) provides a clue to the historic origins of
the people of Great Britain. The sign of the “unicorn”, found throughout the British Isles,
points to the ancient tribe of Manasseh, the older brother of Ephraim. The Great Seal of
the United States (top left) depicts fundamental truths about the origin of the people of
the United States. When understood, the emblems of the Seal reveal the influence and
sign of the ancient tribe of Ephraim, the holder of the birthright promises made to
ancient Israel. Thus our peoples stand identified by these and many more proofs and
lines of evidence, as they are laid out in this provocative, challenging new book.

William F. Dankenbring, author of many books on Bible prophecy, Bible health principles,
the Creation-Evolution debate, and Biblical history and doctrine, investigates and explores
the evidence surrounding the intense debate raging over the Biblical identities of the two
sons of Joseph in the modern world. He presents astonishing new evidence which impels
us to a startling new conclusion, and which provides new in depth insight into the meaning
of current world affairs and end-time Biblical prophecies.

America and Great Britain – Our Identity Revealed

(cid:147)Twice in a single generation the catastrophe of world war has fallen upon
us; twice in our lifetime has the long arm of fate reached across the ocean to
bring the United States into the forefront of the battle. . . . Prodigious hammer-
strokes have been needed to bring us together again, or if you will allow me
to use other language, I will say that he must indeed have a blind soul who
cannot see that some great purpose and design is being worked out here below,
of which we have the honor to be the faithful servants. It is not given to us to
peer into the mysteries of the future. Still I avow my hope and faith, sure and
inviolate, that in the days to come the British and American peoples will for
their own safety and for the good of all, walk together side by side in majesty,
in justice and in peace.(cid:148)

-- Winston S. Churchill, December 26, 1941, shortly after Pearl
Harbor was attacked, in a speech given before a Joint session of
both houses of the U.S. Congress (taken from Blood, Toil, Tears
and Sweat – Winston Churchill’s Famous Speeches).

In a Jewish Prayer offered every Sabbath,
Before the Sabbath Dinner,
A Blessing is recited for Children:

“Y’simkha Elohim k’Ephrayeem v’khee M’nasheh.”

“May the LORD make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.”

Thanks

I wish to thank all those who have helped in the production of this book,
especially Nick Wood of England, who has gone over the manuscript several times,
pointing out typographical errors, making suggestions, and very helpful comments on
various passages of the book. His help has been invaluable. I also want to thank Terry
Humphries, of Wales, who made several very helpful comments. Also Anneke van Delft
of Holland helped go over the text, and Bill and Ruth Lund, long-time friends and
members of God(cid:146)s Church, were very helpful in proof-reading and checking the book for
errors. To all a hearty thank you and job well done. Any remaining errors are my own.

I especially want to thank my wife, Cappy, for standing by me and putting up
with my being so (cid:147)focused,(cid:148) to the exclusion of most everything else, while writing and
editing this material. She has been the touchstone of patience and understanding, a true
support and mainstay. Truly God says, (cid:147)A prudent wife is from the LORD,(cid:148) and she is
every bit of that. Proverbs 12:4 in the Living Bible says, (cid:147)A worthy wife is her husband(cid:146)s
joy and crown.(cid:148) God has certainly blessed me with a wonderful soul-mate and
companion all these years since our marriage in 1967. All who know her, know she is a
(cid:147)virtuous woman,(cid:148) a (cid:147)truly good wife(cid:148) (Prov.31:10), thoughtful, loving, and considerate
of others, always kind and helpful.

Ronald Reagan said in 1990, (cid:147)I can sum up my marriage in a line I spoke when I
played the great pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander, a line spoken by him in life to his
wife Aimee: (cid:145)God must think a lot of me to have given me you.(cid:146) I thank Him every day
for giving me Nancy.(cid:148) Well, I thank Him every day for giving me Cappy! My love and
appreciation for Cappy only increases by leaps and bounds as we grow older together.

I present this book to the reading audience, all of you, as a labor of love. I most
sincerely pray and devoutly hope that this book may be a great blessing to all of you, and
pray that God will bless it according to His glorious will as a testimony for the truth of
the matter, to reveal His own goodness in history, and His righteous purpose in our lives,
as we approach the end of this age and the coming of the Messiah. Surely to come to
know and understand our roots (cid:150) our identity (cid:150) who we are, where we came from, and
why God brought us as nations into being, and where we are going (cid:150) is crucial to
fulfilling our divine destiny and calling. As David wrote, (cid:147)Blessed is the nation whose
God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen for His heritage(cid:148) (Psalm 33:12,
NRSV).

Comments

(cid:147)I don(cid:146)t know where you find the time to do all you do, as well as write this phenomenal
book on the United States and Great Britain in the (cid:145)End Of Days(cid:146), and when I say
phenomenal I really mean it.

(cid:147)I have been pondering the meaning of this book over the last few days and its purpose.
It is not just a book about the United States and Great Britain, although that of course is a
large part of it. For those with a reasonable open mind, this book proves beyond any
shadow of doubt that there is a Supreme Being who guides the destinies of entire peoples
and nations. I think it was Herbert Armstrong who said and wrote on numerous
occasions, that (cid:145)Fulfilled Prophecy(cid:146) is one of the major proofs of the existence of GOD.

(cid:147)This is a book which gives due warning of the catastrophic events which are soon to
befall this world, and the way of escape by turning back to our Creator. This book (cid:145)Cries
Aloud And Spares Not(cid:146), while also preaching the True Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
the wonderful good news that Yeshua The Messiah is going to return to this Earth very
soon now, to bring an end to all the suffering, heartache, tears and misery of humanity
under Satan(cid:146)s sway.

(cid:147)This is a book calling people everywhere to repentance. It is a book for people of all
races, creeds and colors. It is for both Israelite and Gentile, for Jews as well as Christians,
and also for the Atheist and the Agnostic, the Scoffer and the Skeptic. This is a book
which will give humanity real hope in the days ahead when they see the events that are
prophesied to happen, begin to come to pass. I have no hesitation in saying that in many
ways, this book has been inspired by God(cid:146)s Holy Spirit to witness to the Truth. May
Almighty God bless this book in every way.(cid:148)
-- Nick Wood, England

(cid:147)Thank you for all the effort you have put in writing this book. Thank you Cappy for
being such a great support and loving helper. May our God bless both of you. I pray this
book will bring many people to see the truth and repent.(cid:148)
-- Anneke van Delft, The Netherlands.

(cid:147)Bill, you really nailed it this time that indeed America is Ephraim and Great Britain is
Manasseh. I pray that our peoples will get on their knees in fervent repentant prayer
before that great and terrible day of the Lord.(cid:148)
-- Terry Humphries, United Kingdom.

(cid:147)Bill (cid:150) What an AWESOME, inspired and inspiring book! It(cid:146)s too bad that all history
students are not given at least one year to go through this book page by page so they may
truly understand where they came from, why they are here, and what is in store for
them. What life altering changes it could make in the lives and choices of many of our
young people. It makes us sad to realize that there are so few, if any, teachers in our
educational system today capable of teaching such a course.(cid:148)

-- Bill and Ruth Lund, California

America and Great Britain – Our Identity Revealed

Foreword

Who are the United States and Great Britain, and the English-speaking peoples, in
Biblical prophecy? What difference does it make?

The vast majority of people think that our English stock is basically (cid:147)Gentile,(cid:148)
and we are just (cid:147)one of the nations.(cid:148) But is this true? The Jewish historian of the first
century, Flavius Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, wrote that during the time of
Ezra, about 457 B.C. (cid:150) when the king of Persia permitted the Jews to return to Jerusalem
(cid:150) many of them did. But, he relates, (cid:147)the entire body of the people of Israel remained in
that country; wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the
Romans, while the TEN TRIBES are BEYOND EUPHRATES till NOW, and are an
IMMENSE MULTITUDE, and not to be estimated by numbers” (Josephus, Ant., XI,
5, 2). What happened to this (cid:147)immense multitude(cid:148) of people who were still beyond
the Euphrates River in 70 A.D., the time when Josephus lived? Where did they go?

In the book of II Esdras, in the Apocrypha, we read: (cid:147)These are the ten tribes that
in the days of king Hoshea were carried away from their own land into captivity, whom
Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, made captives, and carried beyond the river; they were
carried off to another country. But they formed this plan among themselves, to leave the
heathen population, and go to a more distant region, where the human race had never
lived, so that there perhaps they might keep their statutes, which they had not kept in their
own country. And they went in by the narrow passages of the Euphrates River. . . . But it
was a long journey of a year and a half to that country, and that country is called
Arsareth. There they have lived until the last time . . .(cid:148) (II Esdras 13:40-46, an American
Translation by Edgar J. Goodspeed).

Famed Rabbi Moses Maimonides, in 1131 A.D., declared, (cid:147)I believe the ten tribes
to be in various parts of West Europe.(cid:148)

And Dr. Moses Margoliouth, a Jewish scholar, wrote, (cid:147)It may not be out of place
to state that the Isles afar off mentioned in the 31st chapter of Jeremiah were supposed by
the ancients to be Brittania, Scotia and Hibernia (Ireland) . . . I believe that the old
Cornish was a dialect of Hebrew as is Gaelic, Welsh and Breton.(cid:148)

Perhaps the (cid:147)Lost Ten Tribes(cid:148) are not lost after all. If that is the case, then where
are the leading tribes of the Lost Ten Tribes, today? Where is the (cid:147)birthright(cid:148) tribe of
Joseph, which became two tribes (cid:150) Ephraim and Manasseh?

This is no mere (cid:147)footnote(cid:148) to history and prophecy. It encompasses vital
revelation of Biblical prophecy for the end times! The fate of nations (cid:150) and the world (cid:150)
hangs in the balance! Your own fate is interlocked with the destiny of our peoples.
-- William F. Dankenbring
