Joseph
Joseph-Ephraim & Manasseh
Jacob: Gen. 49:22-26: "Yoseph is an offshoot of a fruitful bearing tree, an offshoot of a fruit-bearing tree by a fountain, his branches run over a wall. And the archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. But his bow remained in strength and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Yaccov; from there is the Shepherd the Stone of Israel. From the El of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of your father have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, up to the limit of the everlasting hills. They are on the head of Yoseph and on the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brothers." Moshe Rabainu: Deut. 33:13: "Blessed of Yahweh is his land, with the choicest from the heavens, with the dew and the deep lying beneath. With the choice fruits of the sun, with the choice yield of the months; With the finest of the ancient mountains, within the choicest of the everlasting hills; With the choicest of the earth and all that fills it and the good pleasure of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come on the head of Yoseph and on the crown of him who was separate from his brothers. His splendor is like a firstborn bull and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox [Unicorn]. With them he pushed the peoples to the ends of the earth.
And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh."
Comments: Today those from the tribe of Ephraim or Joseph are doubly fruitful and are found in all the tribes of Israel, all the world’s apostate religions, and in all nations of Israel. Despite the archers, [enemies of Yoseph’s return] who have attempted to keep his role hidden and separate from Jewish-Israel, Joseph has overcome by Yahweh and is reasserting himself as a legitimate heir of Israel. In Gen 49: verse 24, we have another confirmation that between the first and second comings, the scepter [shevet-tribe] and the crown of lawgiving authority [chaqaq] in Israel, will rest in and among the people of Joseph or more specifically Joseph within enlarged Gad, which is enlarged to hold Joseph in his return to Israel from among the nations. Spiritual and physical blessings are all bound in one package in Joseph-Ephraim, along with the promise of wide scale physical multiplicity in the wombs and breasts of the women of Joseph-Ephraim. (See entire series on Israel’s restoration at www.yourarmstoisrael.org) Eternal blessings of eternal life (the gospel) are also entrusted to Joseph. Masses of Yoseph’s offspring will inherit everlasting hills, [eternal life] which Jacob said was far greater then any earthly inheritance he or his fathers had received. Joseph will have the choicest possessions in the holy land when it is resettled. Those who enjoy these fruitful blessings in the Spirit and in the natural are the promised melo hagoyim or fullness of the gentiles. Through Ephraim-Joseph-Israel, Yahweh will physically fill all the latter-day nations of the earth. Yoseph is often synonymous with Ephraim, as found in Rev. 7:8 and Ezekiel 37:16.
Manasseh was said to become a single great nation within Joseph’s promise of fruitfulness according to Gen. 48:19. As Yoseph experienced the despair of separation from his brothers in earlier days, in the latter-days, Yoseph in like manner will know the joy of national restoration. Manasseh has become primarily a single great nation known today as the United States of America. Manasseh replaces the tribe of Dan in Rev 7:6, as Yahweh’s punishment upon Dan for being responsible for the golden calf worship that they have brought upon Israel, both in days gone by, as well as up until this present day. Yahweh will not seal any from Dan in the Great Tribulation, instead sealing many from Manasseh. Most bible believers who cannot and do not specifically fit the characteristics of the other tribes, are Ephraim or perhaps Manasseh, if they live in the USA or any of her related lands and are faithful bible believers. Ephraim is also found among the sons of Ishmael and Esau, who have not adopted the Muslim faith, like the Lebanese Christians. The Unicorn has only one horn, symbolizing that only one house, [10 collective tribes of Joseph-Ephraim] will be primarily responsible for pushing Israel into all the nations.
