The 4th of July
By Robert R Barney
"O.K. ,it's the fourth of July, so how can The Plain Truth try and ruin this holiday like they did to Christmas?"
I guess, some of our readers are asking this question. Relax! The fourth of July is an historical NON-PAGAN symbolic day in the history of the United States. Readers of the site understand that the USA is the lost tribe of Israel and that we are identified in the Bible as the tribe of Ephraim, the youngest son of Joseph, one of the twelve sons of Jacob that became the twelve nations of Israel. Something happened in the book of Genesis that almost nobody has ever noticed. Jacob, who God re-named Israel, turned the twelve nations of Israel into THIRTEEN NATIONS! Israel is not a twelve nation tribe as most believe today. Jacob turned the single tribe of Joseph into TWO distinct tribes, hence the one tribe of Joseph became two tribes, Ephriam and Manasseh! Twelve, minus one (Joseph), plus two (Ephriam and Manasseh) equals thirteen. Notice this verse:
Gen:48:5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, [are] mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
Jacob adopted Joseph's Children as his own children, equal to any of his children in stature, placed his name upon only these two lads and only these two tribes have the right to the name, Israel. Jews, from the tribe of Judah do not have right to the name. Their national name is Judah and historically was never called Israel! (http://reluctant-messenger.com/HWA/USandBritian/Chapter6.html)
As we read on in Genesis:
Gen: 48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know [it], my son, I know [it]: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Gen:48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Manasseh is England. Ephraim is America.( http://britam.org/bkephraim.html) We are the younger brother (and a multitude of nation-states, hence The United States) that by a promise by God would become the greatest nation to ever sit upon the earth! The United States is the greatest nation that has ever been, blessed by God like no other nation on earth and will never be surpassed until Christ returns! When we are finally destroyed and taken away into captivity, the European "BEAST" nation which will rule the world will last only a few short years in history!It will never equal the USA, never! We are the nation that God has used to bless the world, and unfortunately don't even know it! We are that great eagle (our symbol) that holds back the spirit of anti-Christ in Revelation.
So what number tribe of Israel are we? We are the thirteenth tribe of Israel. THE NUMBER 13 (which Satan's world claims to be un-lucky) is actually the luckiest number of all. Our national identity is the number 13! Take a look at this link for a real shocker.....The Number 13 and America.
America be proud of your 4th of July and remember just who we are and the special blessings God has granted to us and us alone! No other country since the original "Israel" under Solomon has ever been as blessed as we are. God willing, we will wake up and understand how awesome this gift is!
JULY 4th is special to the USA!
1776 - The amended Declaration of Independence, prepared by Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, was approved and signed by John Hancock, the President of the Continental Congress in America. Ironically started off as best friends, Jefferson and Adams became bitter enemies and by divine providence DIED ON THE SAME DAY! July 4th. 1826...The fifty year birthday of America! Adams didn't know that Jefferson died just hours before him and his last words were.."Jefferson lives..." How ironic. How inspiring that God is in control!
1803 - The Louisiana Purchase was announced in newspapers. The property was purchased, by the U.S. from France, was for 15 million (or 3 cents an acre). The "Corps of Discovery," led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, began the exploration of the territory on May 14, 1804. Biblical scholars know that this is the exact date 2520 years to the day that ancient Israel went into captivity ON JULY 4th, 718 BC! God prophesied that Israel would be unconditionally blessed exactly 2520 years from the day of their captivity.
