In the early 1600s, God separated Manasseh from Ephraim, with the people of Manasseh moving from England to the coastlands of Jamestown in AD 1607, and later founding Plymouth. These early Manassite settlers grew into the great peoples of the United States of America, fulfilling the promise of a single nation descending from Jacob as foretold in Genesis 35:11. Through Moses, God prophesied that Joseph would push the peoples to the ends of the earth, and America, like her brother Ephraim, did so by moving west under the cry of manifest destiny. Her peoples pushed back the French, Spaniards, Russians, Dutch, and Ephraimites, confining the latter to their island and north into Canada, while displacing native Indians onto reservations. They expanded past the Appalachians, across the Mississippi, over the Rockies, to the Pacific, and beyond to Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines, and the Japanese Islands, establishing a thalassocracy with vast naval power enforcing economic interests as far as the Arabian Desert. The land of America, to the early settlers of Manasseh, appeared as a vast, multicolored tapestry: green with forested hills full of fur-bearing animals, black with rich soil for farming and grazing, blue with lakes and rivers teeming with fish, golden with fields of grain, and glimmering with resources like gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, and oil. Using these resources provided by God, the folk of Manasseh built a rich, powerful nation, surpassing even Solomon's Kingdom in scope. Their industrial strength, exemplified by steel manufacturing, saw companies like Carnegie Steel outproduce Britain, France, and Germany combined by the late 1800s. Jacob adopted Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, claiming them as his own and giving Joseph a double portion of inheritance, subdividing the tribe of Joseph into two parts. The Scriptures often treat Ephraim and Manasseh as connected, a two-in-one arrangement, and today, England and America, as separate nations, share a common language, traditions, laws, culture, and institutions. They act in concert as leaders of Western civilization, pushing their transportation, education, food-processing, medical technology, and forms of government and economics on many nations. Their primary telecommunication companies dominate global information and entertainment, reflecting their shared national interests while traditionally acting separately yet together to influence the world.
