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? (:>)

Joseph was a replacement for one son the other remains in the list see Rev 7:8
Do LDS consider themselves the branch of Ephraim? D&C 133:30-34
http://scriptures.lds.org/2_ne/3 The Book of Mormon records that Joseph of old "obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel�to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord" (2 Ne. 3:5).

Jacob adopted the two sons 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 is bad company
God has refused Ephraim Ps 78 :67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: But chose the tribe of Judah
Does this sound like God crowned Ephraim with glory? D&C 133:30-33
Jeremiah 7:15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
Hosea 4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
5:3 O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom

God looks poorly on Idol worship, which is why Ephraim is MISSING in revelation. NOT Crowned with glory as D&C 133:30-33 says
Which just so happens to be a major problem of Mormonism idol worship of a god of their own making; made like unto corruptible MAN. The Man who became god; not the God who became man

By the way the Tribe of Dan is missing too, for the same reason, gross idolatry (golden calves) Deuteronomy 29
Of course God is so Gracious and a Covenant keeping God, he will put Ephraim that revolted, IN Joseph and then join them with Judah Ez 37:19 The Northern joined with the Southern tribes. Fullfilled in our day, thus becoming ONE NATION, again.
Other Reasons why it is Impossible for the stick to be the Book o Mormon
1)Ezekiel was to do the writing NOT Joseph or Moroni
2)Ezekiel knew full well the difference between a "stick" and a "roll of a book."
He used the word for book in chap 2 verse 9-10 "roll of a book"
The word used in chap 37 is never translated anything like a book, scroll, or record
3) Nephites wrote the BOM & would have to be the fulfillment
They were not descendants of Joseph through Ephraim. They were of "MANASSEH" Alma 3:10
4) The Book of Mormon was on metal plates, it never says it was written on "scrolls", "Parchment", "Papyri" or "sticks".

Can you show me them in the lists in Revelation?

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.
