This study is to show that the U.S. is indeed Ephraim. Where many people think that the U.S. is not mentioned in prophecy, because they do not understand who Israel is. They have been told the lies and been misled about who Israel really is….not the physical land we know as Israel, but the people. The lost ten tribes, whereby Ephraim is the head. I think the world would agree that the U.S. has been the leading world power. Without understanding this knowledge, many will miss key prophecies regarding the U.S. and when disaster hits, they will wonder why because they have been told that the U.S. is not mentioned in scripture….this too will lead to many falling away from their faith.
Gen 41:52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Ephraim, the second child of Joseph. The U.S. was second to the United Kingdom in world power and came out of Great Britain. Note the U.K.’s coat of arms…a lion and a unicorn. The unicorn being a symbol of Ephraim. I believe that this also has been mucked with as if one looks up the Strong’s definition of Unicorn as it is used in the KJV, you will find that the definition includes the descriptive of a bull:
H7214
רם רים ראים ראם
re'êm re'êym rêym rêm
reh-ame', reh-ame', rame, rame
From H7213; a wild bull (from its conspicuousness): - unicorn.
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.
Ephraim and Manasseh took the place of Reuben and Simon as the first two sons of Israel because Reuben had defiled his father’s bed and Simon had killed with the sword. So we see the beginning of the changeover to leadership with the House of Joseph.
Gen 48:13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
Joseph’s attempt to make sure Jacob blessed the older son first.
Gen 48:14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Ephraim, the younger. The U.S. the younger to come out of the older, Manasseh.
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.
These words are more descriptive of the United States as Ephraim. GB even in it’s days of glory around the world, they conquered many other nations, but did not mix with them. They kept separate even when occupying and controlling these lands. Even the land of GB, was dominated by their own kind.
The U.S. on the other hand, has indeed mixed seeds and intermarried and welcomed other nations with open arms to inhabit and settle in this land.
Gen 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
Gen 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
The archers spoken of here are Islam. See the following verse:
Gen 21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
On Sept 11, 2001, we felt the sting of the archer who has shot at us and has hated us.
Ishmael has hated Isaac and through his hate for Isaac has hated Israel. Ishmael, the father of Islam, hates the U.S. not really knowing or understanding why...but scripture reveals all.
Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
Gen 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
This land has been blessed with oil and other natural resources and the riches of precious metals such as gold and silver. We most certainly have prospered in people.
Num 2:18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.
On the West side…speaks for itself.
Num 13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
Joshua, son of Nun of the tribe of Ephraim…one of the two spies who had faith in YHWH to take the land.
Num 13:16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
Num 14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
Num 14:7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
Num 14:8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
Num 14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
These words can apply to America, whereby the soil was rich for growing crops and we overcame and settled the land. If indeed, the U.S. is Ephraim then these words fit us exactly.
Num 14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Now…reference back to Num 14:6. Caleb, son of Jephunneh….this is the Judah halfbreed who will actually possess the land of Israel as they do to this day.
But…where is Joshua in this? He was not told by YAH that his seed would possess the land..so…where does he go?
Num 14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Joshua, the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim is eventually given the land of America as their possession. The history of GB (Great Britain) is quite different with regard to how it was possessed. It was invaded by many different peoples, Angles, Saxons, Normans. Not saying that they are not all of the same peoples, but those who came out of Manasseh, the older brother (for GB is the older of the two) those who came out are the younger brother who became more powerful.
Deu 33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Note that the number of Ephraim is much higher than the number of Manasseh. This also hints at America, since it is so much larger than GB.
Jos 14:3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
Jos 14:4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
Note here also that Manasseh was split……half the tribe on the east side of the Jordan. Half on the west side. Could it be….is this why we also have the symbol of Manasseh in our nation’s great seal? Is THIS perhaps the reason why some consider America to be Manasseh? Perhaps…..but most of scripture points to America being Ephraim. It’s not to mean that some of those of Manasseh are not here in America, for I submit they are. I am just saying that America is mostly Ephraim and therefore prophetic scriptures apply to the U.S. , more so that GB.
Jos 16:9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
Jos 17:8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
Jos 17:9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
Jos 17:10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
Any chance here we could see a parallel of the split in America during the civil war?
Thereby giving even more support to the theory that Manasseh and Ephraim are indeed occupying the same country and also showing that Manasseh is divided by waters? Hence GB is Manasseh but the other half of Manasseh is in America.
Jos 17:14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
Jos 17:15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
Jos 17:16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
Jos 17:17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
Jdg 10:9 Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
Here we see the children of Ammon are of Islam (Ishmael). They have indeed come against Judah (land of Israel occupied by the Jews), Benjamin (who are also in the land of Israel, but also in America)….and –again- Ephraim (the U.S. who has been attacked and infiltrated by Ishmael).
1Ki 11:26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.
1Ki 11:27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
1Ki 11:28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
Here we see…this is where Ephraim became the head of Joseph or the House of Israel.
1Ki 11:29 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:
1Ki 11:30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
1Ki 11:31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
Here we see….Jeroboam, of Ephraim, was given the ten tribes of the House of Israel.
1Ki 11:35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
1Ki 11:37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
1Ki 11:38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
In other words…..The U.S. being Ephraim is leader of the westernized world (recall who was on the west side of the camp?) All the world looks to the leadership of the United States of America and how they are powerful and a force to be reckoned with.
Isa 5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
Isa 5:9 In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Is this not descriptive of the mortgage crisis that started the financial woes beginning in 2008?
Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Are not the above verses exactly how our politicians see the things that are right and see the things that are wrong? Everything is backwards these days. Those of us who call out for our freedom are called terrorists and racists and are scrutinized and our mouths are cut off.
Isa 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isa 5:24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Where else is this happening but here in America?
Isa 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. How we know this is the case with people…their ears are stuffed with the cotton of men’s doctrines.
Isa 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Isa 6:11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
Isa 6:12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
Isa 6:13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
Isa 7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.

Increasing proof of the false pen of the scribes as is written in Jeremiah 8:8;
(LITV) How do you say, We are wise, and the Law of Jehovah is with us? Behold, the lying pen of the scribes has certainly worked deceit.
(The Scriptures 1998+) “How do you say, ‘We are wise, and the Torah of יהוה is with us’? But look, the false pen of the scribe has worked falsehood.
(YLT) How do ye say, We are wise, And the law of Jehovah is with us? Surely, lo, falsely it hath wrought, The false pen of scribes.
Also, YEHshua Himself warned the scribes seven times!!!
Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Mat 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
And again…..
Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law(TORAH), judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Mat 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Mat 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
AND AGAIN……
Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
AND…..AGAIN…
Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Here is more proof. Please take the time to read each definition of the Hebrew words from which the English was translated. It appears more and more convincingly that the scribes have made minor alterations in scripture, using different spellings (so minutely changed as to look like errors, yet if we investigate, we find other words very close in spelling (no doubt the correct and exact word) have a much clearer fit within the context of the actual verse.
Isa 8:7 Now therefore,H3651 behold,H2009 the LordH136 bringeth upH5927 uponH5921 them(H853) the watersH4325 of the river,H5104 strongH6099 and many,H7227 even(H853) the kingH4428 of Assyria,H804 and allH3605 his glory:H3519 and he shall come upH5927 overH5921 allH3605 his channels,H650 and goH1980 overH5921 allH3605 his banks:H1415

Please look at all the family of words here from H5920 – H5932. Note how close the words are to the name of the god of Islam. Note even more each definition. I cannot list them all, but if you have a Strong’s concordance or e-Sword, you can read them. One though, I will show here: H5926 – note the bolded italic words. Note also the spelling.

From an unused root meaning to stutter; stuttering: - stammerer.
After seeing this, I recalled the word “stammerer” was also elsewhere. I searched and came up with the following verses:
(Isa 28:11) ForH3588 with stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and anotherH312 tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 toH413 thisH2088 people.H5971

What’s this??? In two places we see another family of words. Here they are:
H3932

Isa 9:9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
Isa 9:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
The inhabitant of Samaria = NYC (capital of northern ten tribes, ancient capital of America
The bricks are fallen down = Sept 11, 2001
But we will build with hewn stones = memorial to those fallen on that day
The Sycamores are cut down = the sycamore trees that were also destroyed that day
But we will change them into cedars = the cedar trees that were planted in place of the fallen sycamores.
THIS IS INDEED, WHAT TOOK PLACE IN NEW YORK CITY. So, if it took place in NY city, then again this points to the U.S. being Ephraim.
Isa 9:12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isa 9:13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Isa 9:14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
Isa 9:15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
Isa 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Isa 9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isa 18:2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
A nation meted out = a land where we divide and mete out and measure as in the lots of property and their lines by acres and square feet. The U.S. does this.
Whose land the rivers have spoiled = in the Hebraic Roots version it uses the word “divide” rather than spoil. Geographically, the U.S. is unique in all the world because of the 4 rivers which our land is divided by.
Isa 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
I submit that the above verse could be a description of Sept 11, 2001.
With a couple of horsemen = 2 jets hitting the towers
All the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. == the two towers falling.
New York city being the center of world trade, much as ancient Babylon was in it’s day.
Isa 30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall = the twin towers and all the people killed by this event.
Eze 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
Then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
It is apparent by this entire verse, that each house, both Judah and Israel, have with them the other tribes under their houses. So this also tells us that not all of those who call themselves Israel are just Jews.
Eze 37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,
OPINION:
Because America does not know they are Israel/Ephraim, they will be destroyed for the signs of what will happen that have been prophesied…the people will miss the signs and suddenly destruction will come upon them and there will be no rapture and they will feel hopeless and turn away from what little faith they have because their faith has been built upon the lies of their false priests and bad shepherds.
Hos 6:10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Deu 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
Hos 7:8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people = the U.S. in that we are called the melting pot and we have welcomed all peoples from all nations into our land. We have mixed with strangers and have given up our own heritage and freedoms and faith to accommodate foreigners. We have sinned greatly by denying YHWH and taking Him out of nation.
Hos 8:9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
We have elected (chosen, made a covenant with) a wild ass (Ishmael/Arab) and have voted him in to rule over Israel in direct disobedience to the command of YAH.
Deuteronomy 17:15
Hos 9:13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
This land of America is a pleasant place, but we now do in fact bring forth our children to the murderer in that Islam’s Sharia law is being implemented in the land. The media has been silent about it but it is happening. Islam has infiltrated this land by stealth and the face of Ephraim/U.S. will change and no longer be recognized as the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Hos 9:16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
What is happening in this country in the last few decades? An increase of infertility within women……
Hos 12:1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind = cowtows to Islam
he daily increaseth lies and desolation = politicians and their deceit with Americans and their blatant disregard for the things of YAH.
and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians = again this verse tells of the pact we made with a stranger.
We need to consider that the words in Daniel 9:27 could mean the covenant made between the antichrist and Israel….might very well be between –who- America voted into office as their president and America/Israel/Ephraim.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirmH1396 the covenantH1285 with manyH7227 for oneH259 week:H7620 and in the midstH2677 of the weekH7620 he shall cause the sacrificeH2077 and the oblationH4503 to cease,H7673 and forH5921 the overspreadingH3671 of abominationsH8251 he shall make it desolate,H8074 even untilH5704 the consummation,H3617 and that determinedH2782 shall be pouredH5413 uponH5921 the desolate.H8076

2Sa 18:8 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
Look at the definitions for the word "covenant". We can apply this to having an election and voting someone into office. We choose, select, a person and make a covenant or agreement with them to be our leader.
Look beyond the English translation and seek out the Hebrew meaning to words. Seek out who Israel is and where they went and what lands they occupy today. YAH has hid His face from them. The only ones who will see His face during these days are the remnant... those who are coming out of Babylon and seeking His Torah. Consider all possibilities so that we do not miss the signs and become destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Ephraim, the U.S. have indeed put a stranger in rule over us. We are being judged and will continue to be judged harshly for this infraction and total disregard for YAH and His Torah.

Isa 23:8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?

Patrial from H3667; a Kenaanite or inhabitant of Kenaan; by implication a pedlar (the Cananites standing for their neighbors the Ishmaelites, who conducted mercantile caravans): - Canaanite, merchant, trafficker.
If we continue to study with the mindset of Ephraim being the U.S., then consider that this crowning city could be New York, the merchants who are princes could be the high rollers of Wall Street, corporate America who have control of what happens to all of us financially speaking. The traffickers; the honourable of the earth, only in a manner of speaking of how we worship those power people and are subject to their decisions and at their mercy.
Isa 23:9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Did not YHWH bring them to their knees? Has HE not made them to crumble before HIM??? YHWH has indeed stained the pride of the wicked on Wall Street, first physically, bringing down the World Trade Centers, and now financially.
Isa 23:10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
Isa 23:11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
Global financial crisis has indeed shaken the kingdoms of the earth, each having their financial capitols devastated by the collapse.
Isa 23:12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.

Patrial from an unused name denoting Cyprus (only in the plural); a Kittite or Cypriote; hence an islander in general, that is, the Greeks or Romans on the shores opposite Palestine: - Chittim, Kittim.
Chittim long associated with Greece. Interesting that in recent months and days that all are looking to Greece to see what happens with world financial collapse.
