Read Genesis and you'll see that Ephraim and Manasseh received the name "Israel" while Jacob-Israel was on his death bed. Judah was never named Israel and shouldn't be today, except maybe as part of the 13 tribes. Now who are Ephraim and Manasseh today? Follow the trail of the ten tribes taken by the Assyrians and Babylonians through Europe and you'll see they ended up in Britain and Northwestern Europe before America was colonozied. Now read the bible to find out the characteristics of each tribe. Ephraim is Britain, Manasseh is America. The middle-Eastern country called "Israel" today should have been named "Judah" or "Judea". The good and bad fig were planted there in 1948. The U.K. and America are Israel, that's why it is necessary to conquer Israel to rule the world.
