The Church of God has long understood the modern identities of Ephraim and Manasseh as Great Britain and the United States. There are some smaller groups which say it is reversed, but the majority go with the traditional view. Ephraim was to become a “company of nations” similar to a…
James Quinn at The Cutting Edge wrote a piece on 30 March 2009 called “America Once Ruled the World–The Last Bubble is Bursting”, since republished as “When America Ruled the World (Part 1)“. It pretty much summed up this financial mess and compared the bursting of the bubble to the…
