Though the descendants of the 10 tribes of Israel are unknown to most of the world, including themselves, the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi have remained a distinct group globally known as Jews, approximately 6 million (30%) of whom live in the land today known as Israel. The majority of the other 70% of […]

Question: What do the United States, Great Britain and Judah (called Israel today) have to do with the signs of the end times? Answer: Everything. This can be understood only by going back to Egypt where the Patriarch Jacob, whom God renamed Israel, has prophesied over his 12 sons. Now let us focus on those […]

One of the basic facts of church and national history concerns the modern day connection between ancient Israel, the United States, Great Britain and the nation that calls itself Israel.

In the previous posting we learned that Jacob had officially given his spiritual name–“Israel”–to Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh.

Another prophetic sign that had to be manifested before the Lord could return is the ability of the people of the world to see an event anywhere on earth simultaneously. For the first time in the history of mankind, instant communication is now an established fact. Due to space satellites people from deepest Africa can […]

The end-time sign–the establishment of the nation of Israel in 1948–was observable to anyone with an elementary knowledge of the Holy Scriptures.
