There is rumor that the United States and Britain are the descendants of the biblical Ephraim and Manassah; this rumor has been floating around for many generations and
is presently being spread by followers of Herbert W. Armstrong, and many others. Mr. Armstrong had been spreading this rumor up until his death. In his attempt to be a 20th-century prophet, Mr. Armstrong made many un-prophetic errors, he stated in the last book that he wrote, ”Mystery Of the Ages”, on page 156, that ”the nations of Holland, Belgium, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Norway were the descendants of the biblical Israelites”; of course we know today that these nations are members of the European common market and according to the book of Daniel 2:33 they will make up the ten toes (when these Nations finally consolidate),of the image that the prophet saw and according to the Bible, these nations are ”GENTILE” nations, so we see that Mr. Armstrong was a poor prophet; just as he made errors attempting to identify the lost tribes of Israel ,he was incorrect in his identity of Ephraim and Manassas as the United States and Britain.
The question is being asked by many people, who are the original Israelites. The book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 gives a clearer picture of who the original Israelites are than any other book in the Bible! If anyone is truly interested in determining the true identity of the original Israelites, all they need to do is to concentrate on what is written in the book of Deuteronomy Chap.28 , I shall go to this book and prove the point that I just stated.

Genesis|15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;
and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. Genesis|15:13 And he said unto
Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs,
and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them 400 years;(they shall be Servants, Or
Slaves ,this Prophecy was made BEFORE Israel went into Egypt, but the Fulfillment
of this prophecy would come after the Egyptian captivity. Israel Spent 430 yrs. in Egypt,
take a look:Exodus|12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in
Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. Exodus|12:41 And it came to pass at
the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass,
that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. So this 400yr.Captivity mentioned in GENESIS would come AFTER the Egyptian captivity! Deut.28;68 tells
about this Future Captivity,take a look:Deuteronomy|28:68 And the LORD shall
”BRING THEE INTO EGYPT AGAIN” (pay close attention to the word “AGAIN” which
is referring to a SECOND future Slavery after the Egyptian Captivity) “WITH SHIPS”,
by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall
be “SOLD” unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen,(Male & Female Slaves) and no man shall buy you=(Purchase your Freedom) and So for a period of 400yrs.Israel would be shipped off to Foreign Shores,”IN SLAVE SHIPS” ,and when they get to these foreign Shores it tells what they will face: Deuteronomy|28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the EAGLE Flieth(The
EAGLE America’s National Symbol),a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; Deuteronomy|28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young:Deuteronomy|28:68 And the LORD shall “BRING THEE INTO EGYPT AGAIN WITH SHIPS”,(Any CHILD of scripture knows that Israel
was in Egypt Only Once and They didn’t get there in SLAVE SHIPS),the Egypt mentioned here means Slavery: So here is what is being said:
THAT ISRAEL WILL DRIVEN OUT OF THE LAND(FOR BREAKING GODS LAWS),THEY Will BE SET UPON BY FOREIGNERS AND TAKEN BY SLAVE SHIPS ACROSS THE SEAS,TO FOREIGN SHORES WHERE THEY WOULD BE SOLD AS MALE & FEMALE SLAVES,WHERE they SHALL AFLICT THEM 400yrs.(Gen.15:13). (400 years was the approximate length of the “AFRICAN Slave TRADE” worldwide)! I Challenge anyone to find any EUROPEAN People or (Israeli JEW) that were taken into slavery for a 400 year period in Slave Ships! (I will save you the Trouble ,the answer is NONE,ZERO!!); if you claim that you are a BLOOD DESCENDANT of the BIBLICAL ISRAELITES, you should be able to go to your history and point out exactly when this happened to you. I challenge any European, OR Israeli JEW, to make this Scripture fit them, if you can’t making it fit you, you CANNOT BE A BLOOD ISRAELITE, or the descendant of EPHRAIM or MANASSAH (who were ISRAELITES),as a matter of fact there is only ONE GROUP of people on the face of the WHOLE EARTH that this happened to, FIND THOSE PEOPLE AND YOU HAVE FOUND THE TRUE ISRAELTES! (ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE) !
If you are European and are making the claim that you are an Israelite, why hasn’t this happened to you? Slavery was a CURSE that God placed on ISRAEL for breaking His laws and Following after Other Gods!
God said that the Israelites would be taken into a 400 yr. captivity in SLAVE SHIPS; the book of (Titus 1:2) said that God cannot lie! If you are European and your history has shown that the events mentioned above have NEVER happened to you and you still claim that you’re an ISRAELITE,OR FROM LINEAGE OF EPHRAIM & MANASSAH,this claim would make Biblical Scripture & God is a Liar! We MUST REMEMBER that the mother of Ephraim & Manassah was a “BLACK EGYPTIAN WOMEN”; IT WOULD BE GENETICLLY
IMPOSSIBLE THE GET TWO WHITE NATIONS FROM A UNION WHEN ONE OF THE
PARENTS ARE BLACK THE IMPOSSIBILITY BECOMES EVEN GREATER WHEN BOTH OF THE PARENTS ARE BLACK,WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE WITH THE PARENTS OF EPHRAIM & MANASSAH! (ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE)!

WHAT COLOR WERE THE ORIGINAL ISRAELITES (THIS INCLUDES EPHRAIM & MANASSAH),who were ISRAELITES and were the sons of JOSEPH & his BLACK
EGYPTIAN WIFE “ASENATH”! What color was JOSEPH and his other Israelite
Brothers? Most people have a Misguided and Racist,“CECIL B.DeMILLE’S
TEN COMMANDMENTS” movie Industry viewpoint of what color the Original
Israelites were, Not a Biblical and Common sense one! Here is how GOD
Describes His Chosen People ISRAEL(which includes EPHRAIM & MANASSAH)

Amos|9:7 “Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O
Children of Israel? saith the LORD”.

As we can see from the above Scripture, God is comparing his people to BLACK ETHIOPIANS! The word Ethiopian comes from the Greek word Aeithiop, which means “Burned Face” OR “BLACK SKIN”!

Why would The God Of Israel compare His Chosen People to BLACK Ethiopians if
They were a WHITE nation as we are led to believe???

What color were the original EGYPTIANS? This is an important question to ask
Because GOD described the Israelites as looking like Egyptians!
Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian (Exodus 2:19)! He spent 40 years in the
House of Pharaoh (Acts 7:23),he passed as Pharaoh’s grandson (Exodus 2:6,10).
The Apostle Paul was mistaken for an Egyptian (Acts 21:38)! Since Moses and Paul were both Israelites and were both mistaken for Egyptians, it can be safely
Said that Egyptians and Israelites were the same color!

The testimony of the ancients, the bible and many Egyptologist have confirmed that the Egyptians during biblical times were a BLACK- SKINNED PEOPLE). This is important to know because the bible describes the ancient Hebrews as looking like the Egyptians .
Gerald Massey, English writer and author of the book,” Egypt the Light of the World”. On pg 251 wrote “The dignity is so ancient that the insignia of the Pharaoh evidently belong to the time when Egyptians wore nothing but the girdle of the Negro.”
Sir Richard Francis Burton, a 19th century English explorer, writer and Linguist. In 1883 he wrote to Gerald Massey and said “You are quite right about the “AFRICAN” origin of the Egyptians I have a 100 human skulls to prove it.”
R. T. Prittchett, a scientist in his book “Natural History of Man” Pg 124-125 said ” In their complex and many of the complexions and in physical peculiarities the Egyptians were an “AFRICAN” race.
The Ancient Greek historian Herodotus who visited Egypt in the 5th century B.C.E. and saw the Egyptians FACE TO FACE. Said “the Egyptians were Black-skinned and had woolly hair”.
Anthropologist Count Constatin de Volney (1727-1820). Spoke about the race of the Egyptians that produced the Pharaoh’s. He later paid tribute to Herodotus discovery when he said: “The ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native born Africans. That being so, we can see how their blood mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of its original color, while retaining none the less the imprint of its original mold. We can even state as a general principle that the face (this is the sphinx) is a kind of monument able, in many cases, to attest or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of the people.”
The fact that the ancient Egyptians were black skinned made Volney say this:
“What a subject for meditation just think that the race of black men today our slaves and the object of our scorn. Is the very race to which we owe our arts, science and even the use of our speech”.
On one occasion MOSES was Mistaken for an Egyptian (Exodus 2:19),(that Moses whom
God choose to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt). Exodus 2:15 Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well. Exodus|2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.Exodus|2:17 And the shepherds came and drove
them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Exodus|2:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you
are come so soon to day?
Exodus|2:19 And they said, ”AN EGYPTIAN” delivered us out of the hand
of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
In order for Moses to be mistaken for a Black Egyptian he also had to be BLACK!
Next in Genesis chapter 50 verses 7-11 scripture describes all the Hebrews as looking like the ancient Egyptians. After Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel) died in the land of Egypt. All the Hebrews and Egyptians went down to the land of Canaan to bury him (he ask his son to bury him in the land of Canaan with his forefathers Genesis 49:29-30).
Verses 7-8 says all the Elders of Pharaoh’s house and all the elders of the land of Egypt along with all the Hebrews (except for their small children) went down.
VERSE 9 says “it was a very great company”,
VERSE 11 says the Canaanites saw the funeral procession and said “THIS IS A GRIEVOUS MOURNING TO THE EGYPTIANS”.
But remember this was a mix multitude of HEBREWS and EGYPTIANS going to bury a HEBREW, and the Canaanites only identified the Egyptians. WHY? Because the Canaanites saw a great company of black-skinned people who were all probably dressed according to the customs and fashions of Egypt and they all looked liked native (black) Egyptians.
If the Hebrews were a white skinned people (like we are lead to believe) the Canaanites who were familiar with both the Hebrews and Egyptians would have acknowledge them both by saying ‘THIS IS A GRIEVOUS MOURNING TO THE EGYPTIANS AND HEBREWS”. The scripture goes on to say that the Canaanites named the place where they saw this great mourning for a Hebrew. Abel Mizraim which means the meadow of Egypt.
Now let’s go to one of the most famous stories of the Hebrews in Egypt, and that’s the story of Moses. Many many years after the death of Joseph, Jacob and all the Hebrews that entered Egypt during the time Joseph was viceroy. The Hebrew population in Egypt grew Tremendously, and because of this they were no longer looked at as friendly neighbors. They were now seen as hostile enemies. So the Egyptians enslaved the Hebrews. (Exodus 1:7-13).
Because the Hebrews had a population growth the Egyptians also decided to enact their own form of birth control. Pharaoh gave a decree that all Hebrew males be killed at birth. Now we must keep this point in mind because this takes us directly to the story of Moses. Moses was a Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Levi (Exodus 2:1-3). Moses spent 40 years in the house of pharaoh (Acts 7:23) he passed as the Pharaoh’s grandson (exodus 2: 6, 10), during the time Pharaoh order all Hebrew males to be killed at birth. So Moses had to look just like Pharaoh. Meaning,the Pharaoh was a black-skinned descendant of Ham, so Moses had to look like a black-skinned descendant of Ham also.
Many Scholars say that the Pharaoh that was on the throne of Egypt at the time of Moses birth was Pharaoh Seti I. He was father of Rameses II (also known as the Pharaoh of the oppression aka Rameses the great). George Rawlinson, an English author wrote a book entitled “History of Egypt” on pg 252 he gives a description of Seti I, he states: ‘THAT SETI’S FACE WAS THOROUGHLY AFRICAN HE HAS A STORMY FACE WITH A DEPRESSED FLAT NOSE THICK LIPS AND HEAVY CHIN”. (this is how pictures on the walls of his tomb looked),This has to be the same description of Moses. Because he was raised in the house of Pharaoh, at the time Pharaoh himself, ordered all Hebrew males to be killed at birth. If the Israelites were a white skinned people how could Moses the Hebrew survive in the house of Pharaoh among black-skinned Egyptians for 40 years, and go unnoticed. How could Pharaoh face his people and rule over them if he gives a decree, to kill all Hebrew males. But yet he knows he has one living in his house. Moses survived because he was a black-skinned man just as the Egyptians were. Just like the Canaanites couldn’t tell the Hebrews from the Egyptians. Pharaoh couldn’t either, or else Moses would have been killed instantly.

Now let’s look at a COMMON SENSE view point of the ONLY color the Egyptians
had to have been: The highest temperature ever recorded ON EARTH was on the
border of Egypt and Libya (Azizia Libya in 1922); was officially recorded at
136 degrees F. and the temperatures can go up to almost 150 degrees F. in
many parts Egypt! Anyone who is Indigenous to Egypt (a descendant of many
generations of Egyptians),must be What Color? Before you answer, remember
this requires a common sense answer not a Racist Movie Industry one!
“WHITE EGYPTIANS”, how DUMB can such a concept be!! There are highly
educated people that believe this STUPPIDIY because of what they see in the
movies combined with their own Racial stereo types!!

Remember GOD’S description of His people ISRAEL:
Amos|9:7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O
children of Israel saith the LORD? (Ethiopians are BLACK)!!

The people that Control Egypt today and claiming to be the descendants of the
original Egyptians are NOT EGYPTIANS AT ALL, but are the descendants of
the Islamic worriers from Mohammed’s conquering armies who conquered
all of Northern Africa and drove most of the Black Africans out to central
and southern Africa Centuries ago(who would not convert to Islam),and still
control this area today,that’s why their skin color is to “Light” for a land
area where the “ World’s Highest Temperatures” were recorded; the Africans in central
and southern Africa(were the temperature averages 30 degrees cooler),have BLACK
SKIN,so it stands to reason that these people are NOT indigenous to an area where the
Temperatures can climb to over a 140 degrees F., even though they are claiming that
they are the descendants Of the Original “BLACK” Egyptians which contradicts all
REASON, COMMON SENSE, and GENETICS!
Question: are the people in ISRAEL today true Israelites? Let’s go to
Scripture to see what it says:

Isaiah|11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb

Isaiah|11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie
down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Isaiah|11:11 And it shall come to pass(”IN THAT DAY”),that the Lord shall
set his hand again the ”SECOND” time(the first time was from Egypt with the Ten Plagues), to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isaiah|11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. So God is saying that when Israel is returned to the land (In That Day)”A LION WILL EAT STRAW LIKE AN OX”,the people that are in Israel today have been there for over HALF A CENTURY and I have yet to see any LIONS EAT STRAW (and neither have anyone else)!!
The people in Israel and the BIBLE are Opposed to one another on ALL Things described!

There is some interesting Scripture in The Book of Revelation that gives
a clue as to who are not Israelites! Take a look:

Revelation|2:9 I know thy works, and “TRIBULATION, and POVERTY”, (but thou art rich) and I know the “BLASPHEME” of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Revelation|3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of SATAN WHICH
SAY THEY ARE JEWS ,AND ARE NOT,BUT DO LIE; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Notice what God says about the “TRIBULATION and POVERTY” of the true
Israelites (Rev.2:9) (Today’s Jews are the RICHEST and most Influential Group on Earth, and have NEVER been in POVERTY anytime in recent or past history), that there are a people calling themselves Jews “BUT ARE NOT”, but are of the SYNAGOGUE of Satan, Notice the word SYNAGOGUE, now who in the World uses the word SYNAGOGUE to represent their House of Worship??
Any Child of the Scriptures Knows the answer to that one!! If you pay close
attention to what is being said here: THAT THE FAKE JEWS WHO’S HOUSE OF WORSHIP IS CALLED A SYNAGOGUE,IN THE LAST DAYS,SHALL BE MADE BY GOD TO COME AND WORSHIP AT THE FEET OF THE TRUE ISRAELITES IN THE SIGHT OF THE WHOLE WORLD!! (Revelation 3:9)

It should be Painfully clear to many who are reading this work that the World has been Misled with LIES as to the actual color and identity of the True Israelites; the list of Those responsible for this Deception is Very long and extends back many centuries, to mention just a few:”Satan which deceiveth the whole world”,(Rev 12:9) painters like Leonardo Da Vinci and the many religious works he painted, the movie industry influence from movies such as Cecil B. DeMill’s Ten Commandments and Every other religious movie that has come after it, add to that list our own Personal Racal stereo typing and the most Misleading of all, the belief that the descendants of the original Israelites returned to Israel in 1948, when the Bible CLEARLY tells anyone( who would take the time to read it), that the true Israelites will not be returned to that land until After the Second coming of Christ!! (Isaiah chapter 11) is just one of the MANY places in Scripture where you can read this! I CHALLENGE ANYONE TO READ TO ME ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE THE SLIGHTEST INDICATION THAT GOD RETURNED THE ISRAELITES TO THEIR HOME LAND IN 1948!!
Why can’t the world see its miss-identification of the True Israelites? The answer is in the following Scripture :

Deut.32:26 ( ” I SAID I WOULD SCATTER THEM INTO CORNERS, I WOULD MAKE THE REMEMBRANCE OF THEM TO CEASE FROM AMOUNG MEN”)!

God made the identity of the True Israelites anonymous because they are under His CURSE for breaking His Laws and being Disobedient, (Deuteronomy 28:15-48),and will be so until the Second coming of Christ, God did not want anyone to take the following Scripture to heart and show the “True Israelites” FAVORS as many in the world do for the “Fake Jews” that entered Israel in 1948 claiming to be the descendants of the Original Israelites! Millions of dollars are collected and given to these people every year along with over 15 Billion Dollars of American Tax money(about $2100 for each citizen in Israel), because those doing the donating think they will get a Blessing from God because of their misinterpretation of the following Scripture:
Gen. 12:3 “And I will BLESS them that bless you, and CURSE him that curses you”!
The above Scripture will NOT come true until After the Second coming of Christ which is when the TRUE ISRAELITES will be returned to the land of Israel (Isaiah 11:6-12),so those collecting money for Israel are collecting money for THE WRONG PEOPLE AT THE WRONG TIME!!

Lev. 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not vex him.

Lev. 19:34 But the stranger that dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
