KEVIN: Blaine what does the Bible say about the tribe of EPHRAIM?
Can you show me them in the lists in Revelation?
BLAINE: The name Ephraim is not included in the list of the 12 tribes in the
Book of Revelation. The names of Joseph and his son Manasseh are listed,
however. Since Joseph only had two sons, who else could "Joseph" be except
Ephraim? (:>)

Hmmm, he spends a lot of time talking about "writing" per se, does he not? Why
does he do that? So he can lead into telling us that the Lord will eventually
bring these two kingdoms together? While this is true as far as it goes, the
prophet's purpose in discussing the writings seems to be to tell us the means
by which this coming together will be accomplished--by writings showing God to
be God of all Israel, not just Judah (comprising mostly the tribes of Judah and
Benjamin) or Israel(the ten tribes which broke away from the rule of the
lineage of David, and ruled principally by Ephraimites). The Book of Mormon is
basically written to all the House of Israel, as is the Bible, but the BoM was
written by "Ephraim," or those not being of the Kingdom of Judah, whereas the
Bible has come to us principally from the Jews, or "Judah," in more general
terms, being those who accepted the rule of the Davidic lineage.
