Can you tell me which nations are identified as the tribes of Israel today? (Genesis 49.)
Answer # 119
The tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim are identified in the book "The United States and Britain in Prophecy", which is available from the Books by Herbert W. Armstrong section on this web site. Manasseh is the United States and Ephraim basically constitutes the English-speaking member countries of the British Commonwealth. The tribe of Judah (the Jews) is scattered among many nations with a large number living in the modern nation of Israel. Levi and Simeon were to be scattered among Israel; Reuben is France. Putting together the information available from Biblical history and prophecy, the other tribes may be located in Ireland, Norway and Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Holland (the Netherlands), Belgium and Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Some Gentiles live in these nations and certainly some Israelites, as well as Jews, live in several Gentile lands.
