Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided?

By COGwriter

Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What does Bible prophecy teach? Are there non-biblical prophecies that support this idea? Who will divide those lands? Who will end up with the lands and the people?

This article will attempt to address these questions.

Scriptures Support that the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, and New Zealand Will be Divided

The Bible shows that before he died, Jacob (also known as Israel) stated that he wanted the descendants of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) to be named after him (Genesis 48:19-20). Therefore, Bible readers need to be aware that many of the scriptures that involve end time prophecies and "Israel" are directed towards the descendants of Joseph. In modern times, these descendants are the major ethnic group in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, and New Zealand. More details on this are in the article Anglo - America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel for those who wish to research this further.

Many verses in the Bible show that those who represent end time Israel will have their lands divided and peoples scattered.

Although many do not accept that the USA and its Anglo-allies are descended from Joseph, all should still find the following end time scripture provides compelling evidence that the USA, at least, will have its lands divided by the final King of the North:

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39, NKJV except as otherwise specified).

The "he" in the Daniel 11:39 is the final end time King of the North. Notice that he goes against the "strongest fortresses".

Who could have the "strongest fortresses"?

At this time, the strongest fortresses in the world belong to the USA and, to a much lessor degree (except as they align with the USA), its Anglo-allies. Notice that the verse in Daniel also mentions that the land will be divided for gain. The fact that this King of the North divides the land for gain suggests that he will not keep all of it for himself or his empire.

But this is not an isolated verse concerning lands being divided.

Other verses of the Bible also show the land being divided:

16 The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them (Lamentations 4:16, KJV).

2 And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. They have also cast lots for my people...(Joel 3:2-3, NKJV).

17... Your land shall be divided by survey line; You shall die in a defiled land; And Israel shall surely be led away captive From his own land (Amos 7:17, NKJV)

I used the KJV for Lamentations 4:16 as it correctly translated the Hebrew word as divided. The is term translated as scattered them by the NKJV in Lamentations, but it is the same Hebrew word (Strongs 2505) used in Daniel 11:39 translated as divide.

It is also the same Hebrew word used in Ezekiel 5:1 where the hair (apparently representing the U.S.A., etc.) is divided and then will "scatter to the wind"--hence indicating that the people that survive will end up in many lands (and not in a good way):

1 "And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber's razor, and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair. 2 You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind: I will draw out a sword after them...12 One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them...8 Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries. (Ezekiel 5:1-2,12; 6:8).

13 "Behold, therefore, I beat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst. 14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I shall deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and will do it. 15 I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the countries, and remove your filthiness completely from you. (Ezekiel 22:13-15)

By having massive debt that they will not pay back, the peoples of the USA and UK make a "dishonest profit" and they will be scattered among nations and countries--via "all the winds". Following "all the winds" means that not all will end up in the same place.

God says if those of Israel and Ephraim do not listen and obey Him, they will have their cities destroyed and be scattered:

27 'And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me, 28 then I also will walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. 30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you. 31 I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas. 32 I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it. 33 I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. (Leviticus 26:27-33)

16 Ephraim is stricken, Their root is dried up; They shall bear no fruit... 17 My God will cast them away, Because they did not obey Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations. (Hosea 9:16-17)

Furthermore, look at Lamentations and more from Hosea:

4 We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price. 5 They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest. 6 We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7 Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities. 8 Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver us from their hand. (Lamentations 5:4-8)

18 They tracked our steps So that we could not walk in our streets. Our end was near; Our days were over, For our end had come.

19 Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the heavens. They pursued us on the mountains And lay in wait for us in the wilderness. (Lamentations 4:18-19)

8 Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles Like a vessel in which is no pleasure. 9 For they have gone up to Assyria (Hosea 8:8-9)

3 They shall not dwell in the Lord's land, But Ephraim shall return to Egypt, And shall eat unclean things in Assyria...17 My God will cast them away, Because they did not obey Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations. (Hosea 9:3,17)

Notice that some of the above passages mention Assyria (including eating unclean things there), which is who God will use to punish the certain descendants of Israel, such as the U.S.A., U.K. etc. (cf. Isaiah 10:5-7). And that they will be pursued even in the wilderness.

It may be of some interest to note that the Hebrew word translated as gain (Strongs 4242) in Daniel 11:39 is the term translated as price in Lamentations 5:4. The word translated as rule over them in v. 8, is the same Hebrew word that is translated as rule over many (Strongs 4910) in Daniel 11:39. Although this is not totally conclusive, Lamentations 5 seems to provide further scriptural evidence that the United States, etc. may be attacked in Daniel 11:39.

And that is when the Great Tribulation would begin (see The Great Tribulation). This is the time of Jacobs trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).

The late Herbert W. Armstrong wrote:

The GREAT TRIBULATION, we shall fully then realize, is the time of "Jacob's Trouble," spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7. And Jacob's name was named on Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 48:16). At that time a third of the people in our nations will die, or shall have died, by famine and disease epidemics; another third will dies of the war--our cities being destroyed (Ezek. 6:6), and the remaining third will be carried to the land of our enemies as slaves (Ezek. 5:12). Armstrong, Herbert W. The Time We Are In, Now. Pastor General's Report-Vol 1, No. 15, November 20, 1979, Page 2).

Jacob's trouble is punishment inflicted on the descendants of Israel.

Here is part of why:

47 "Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck

until He has destroyed you. 49 The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. (Deuteronomy 28:47-50)

The warring Beast (Revelation 13:1-4), also known as the King of the North will fight quickly and fiercely and take over and scatter the Anglo-peoples. Debt (Habakkuk 2:3-8), hypocrisy (Isaiah 10:5-6), and sin (Deuteronomy 28) will be major factors (for more details as to why, please see Anglo America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel).

Notice also why:

10 "And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, 'Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?' 11 then you shall say to them, 'Because your fathers have forsaken Me,' says the Lord; 'they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law. 12 And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me. 13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will not show you favor.' (Jeremiah 16:10-13)

Here is another reason:

4 And you, even yourself, Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you; And I will cause you to serve your enemies In the land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever. (Jeremiah 17:4)

The Anglo-nations have forsaken their heritage--their biblical heritage.

Jesus Himself warned that non-Gentile peoples would be taken into captivity during the time of the Gentiles, the great tribulation:

23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:23-24)

Notice also:

3 Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, Who cause the seat of violence to come near; 4 Who lie on beds of ivory, Stretch out on your couches, Eat lambs from the flock And calves from the midst of the stall; 5 Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments, And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David; 6 Who drink wine from bowls, And anoint yourselves with the best ointments, But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. 7 Therefore they shall now go captive as the first of the captives, And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.

8 The Lord God has sworn by Himself, The Lord God of hosts says:

"I abhor the pride of Jacob, And hate his palaces; Therefore I will deliver up the city And all that is in it." (Amos 6:3-8, NKJV)

Thus, the idea of a captivity for the Anglo-peoples is supported by many scriptures. People need to pay attention and not overlook this.

The Bible teaches that Gentile peoples will dominate for 42 months (Revelation 11:2) and consume Jacob (Jeremiah 10:25) (for more on the time of the Gentiles see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2011, 2012, or 2013?). The USA and its Anglo-allies are descedants of Joseph--and Joseph will have affliction and captivity because of pride and other sins.

Judah will also be affected.

The idea that Jerusalem itself will be divided and many be sent to captivity is clearly in scripture:

2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished.

Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. (Zechariah 14:2)

News items have come out indicating the EU, as well as the current UN Secretary-General (Ban Kimoon) want to divide Jerusalem now between the Jews and the Palestinians. This may be why only one half of Jerusalem goes into captivity. And this would seem to be the Jewish half as "Jerusalem will be trambled by Gentiles (Luke 21:24) about this time.

Where Will the People Go?

The Bible is clear that certain lands will be divided, and it is also fairly clear that the one that physically does much (or all) of the dividing is the final King of the North (cf. Daniel 11:39-40).

But who helps him and who does he divide the land with?

This is not explicitly clear from scriptures in Daniel.

But there are several clues throughout the Bible to what happens to the peoples conquered.

Some few will escape captivity will go to the mountains:

16 'Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains Like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, Each for his iniquity. 17 Every hand will be feeble,

And every knee will be as weak as water. (Ezekiel 7:16-17)

But most will be scattered among the Gentiles:

13 And the Lord said, "Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them," 15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 16 I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them." (Jeremiah 9:1316)

25... Gentiles, who do not know You...they have eaten up Jacob, Devoured him and consumed him, And made his dwelling place desolate. (Jeremiah 10:25)

13 I will also spread My net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there. 14 I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them. 15 "Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. 16 But I will spare a few of their men from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the Gentiles wherever they go. Then they shall know that I am the Lord." (Ezekiel 12:13-16)

So going to the lands of the Gentiles, the final Babylon (which will be based in Europe) and the Chaldeans (the "daughter of the Chaldeans", Isaiah 47:112, seems to be the false compromised end time harlot church--cf. Revelation 17:1-5; 18:23) is prophesied.

Sorcery was a part of the Chaldean religion of Babylon (Hittell JS. A history of the mental growth of mankind in ancient times, Volume 2. H. Holt & Co., 1893. Original from the University of California, Digitized Oct 15, 2007, p. 287) and is a distinguishing mark of the end time Babylon (Revelation 18:23; 9:21). The Chaldean religion of Babylon had many temples and priests (Hittell, pp. 285-287). Sorcery and harlotry are sins mentioned in the Bible (Nahum 3:1-4,18) as being connected to Nineveh/Assyria

(modern Germany). People will be sent to lands affected by the end time Babylonian religion (Ezekiel 12:13-16).

Notice some of what Roderick C. Meredith has written that suggests who may assist in the conquering and dividing:

God Almighty will use this "daughter" of ancient Babylon to humble and bring about corrective punishment on the modern House of IsraelGods "birthright" people. Notice this message from the inspired Word of God: "Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.... Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no longer be called the Lady of Kingdoms. I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, and given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; on the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily. And you said, I shall be a lady forever, so that you did not take these things to heart, nor remember the latter end of them" (Isaiah 47:1, 57). The next few verses further describe this "daughter" of ancient Babylon: "Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, who dwell securely, who say in your heart, I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children; But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: the loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness because of the multitude of your sorceries, for the great abundance of your enchantments" (vv. 89). Isaiah 47 identifies this daughter of Babylon as the power that puts the "yoke" of slavery upon Gods people of the modern House of Israel. But she, in turn, will soon receive her punishment at the hands of the returning Jesus Christ! "And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury" (Revelation 18:23). Then, notice that the next two verses virtually repeat the message of Isaiah 47:89: "Therefore her plagues will come in one daydeath and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning" (vv. 79). (Meredith RC. Prophecy Is Speeding Forward. Tomorrow's World, Jul-Aug 2003)

Notice this is a daughter of ancient Babylon. A modern sort of Babylon is to rise up! "Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate" (Ibid.) Who, then, is this "lady" mentioned in Isaiah 47? Gods Word gives us a clear answer. "Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the Lady of Kingdoms" (v. 5). This woman is called the "Lady of Kingdoms" because she has a fornicating political relationship with, and actually rules over, quite a number of different kingdoms or governments of this world. (Meredith RC. Fourteen Signs Announcing Christ's Return, ed 3.0. LCG booklet, 2008)

So the scatterer, with help the help of a sorcery-involved daughter of the Chaldeans, is also called the "daughter" of ancient Babylon ( Jeremiah 50:41-42). This would seem to be an arrangement between a European empire and a mystical religion. The beast and false prophet of Revelation 13 (with the beast being the same person as the final King of the North in Daniel 11:39-44) are the ones that will help scatter the disobedient Israelites (though they will be punished later themselves, cf. Revelation 19:20).

Notice that one of the curses for disobedience by Israel was to be scattered in many nations and having some people shipped back to Egypt:

62 You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God. 63 And it shall be, that just as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and bring you to nothing; and you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.

64 "Then the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known wood and stone. 65 And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish of soul. 66 Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life. 67 In the morning you shall say, 'Oh, that it were evening!' And at evening you shall say, 'Oh, that it were morning!' because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and because of the sight which your eyes see.

68 "And the Lord will take you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, 'You shall never see it again.' And there you shall be offered for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you." (Deuteronomy 28:62-68)

It should be noted that the children of Israel originally walked out from Egypt. And while ships could have been used, the fact that ships are expected to be used in the future suggests that people who are coming are coming from great distance--and since they are to be sold as slaves, transport via ship is may be the cheapest way to get them to certain slave markets.

But it should be mentioned that the descendants of Ephraim seem specifically to be prophesied to end up under Assyria rulership (German-dominated Europe) and not Egypt (so maybe Egypt is more for those of Manasseh, Judah, or other tribes; though Egypt could also be under German domination at the end, hence some of Ephraim may also end up in Egypt):

3 "I taught Ephraim to walk, Taking them by their arms; But they did not know that I healed them. 4 I drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love, And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them. 5 "He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent. (Hosea 11:3-5)

The following from Zechariah seems to be teaching that the peoples will be scattered in the directions of four winds:

18 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four horns. 19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" So he answered me, "These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem." (Zechariah 1:18-19)

14 "But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate." (Zechariah 7:14)

Other verses in the Bible (e.g. Deuteronomy 4:27; Ezekiel 5:10,12) also suggest scattering all over the world.

The following may give some partial information on location of some descendants:

15 "Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths, To walk in pathways and not on a highway, 16 To make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; Everyone who passes by it will be astonished And shake his head. 17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back and not the face In the day of their calamity." (Jeremiah 18:15-17)

If this is referring to those in the USA or UK (head of Ephraim), they may end up west, of which Europe is, as an east wind goes west (see also Who is the King of the West?).

Notice that after Jesus returns, the scattered people (identified as the outcasts of Israel, Judah, and Ephraim) will be gathered from many nations:

1 "Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God drives you, 2 and you return to the Lord your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you. 4 If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you. 5 Then the Lord your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. 6 And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. 7 "Also the Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 8 And you will again obey the voice of the Lord and do all His commandments which I command you today. (Deuteronomy 30:1-9)

10 You make us turn back from the enemy, And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves. 11 You have given us up like sheep intended for food, And have scattered us among the nations. (Psalms 44:10-11)

Isaiah suggests that apparently significant numbers will end up in certain specific places:

11 It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time To recover the remnant of His people who are left, From Assyria and Egypt, From Pathros and Cush, From Elam and Shinar, From Hamath and the islands of the sea.

12 He will set up a banner for the nations,

And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. 13 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim. (Isaiah 11:11-13)

Isaiah's writing above gives some clues as to who gets some of the scattered people. LCG's Lambert Greer commenting on the scattering of the Anglo and Judaic peoples in Isaiah 11:11-14 stated:

They will be scattered around the world...but the primary area is Assyria. (Greer L. The Power of Sin to Destroy. Sermon DVE 587. May 24, 2010).

And the first group Isaiah mentioned is Assyria. Assyria also seems to be from whence the King of the North descends. This would be the Germanic, and perhaps other, parts of Europe.

Egypt in Isaiah 11 is the modern land of Egypt. Pathros seems to be in the Middle East/North Africa (cf. Jeremiah 44:15). So probably because of the deceptive deal between the King of the North and the King of the South (Daniel 11:27) (which may also be related to the deal being the Arabic powers and Assyria in Psalm 83:4-8), which they both apparently never intended to keep and is broken shortly thereafter (Daniel 11:40-43), some of the people end up in the Middle East. But because the King of the North overwhelms the King of the South, it is pretty unlikely that the King of the South actually will end up with any of the lands of the Anglo-peoples for much time, if at all.

Who Isaiah 11 refers to as Cush is tricky as Cush has two lines of descent. This could possibly be related to India or some others near the Middle East that supported the King of the South. Since India once was considered as a British colony, and since there still are many people of British descent in India, this could be the people that Isaiah was referring to. It is not clear if India would gain much British territory, but it may be that it would be granted the naval island base Diego Garcia and much

of the rest of what is called the British Indian Ocean Territory (55 islands, of which Diego Garcia is the largest).

The Bible shows that in the end, a portion of the Cushites supports the King of the South and are defeated:

He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the Libyans and the Cushites shall follow in his train (Daniel 11:43, ESV).

Thus, those that Daniel 11:43 refers to would be like those in other Middle Eastern/North African lands.

Elam, who descended from Shem (Genesis 10:22), seems to be a Caucasian-descended peoples, so this also may be another part of Europe. Elam seems to possibly be composed of some of the Slavic peoples, like those in Poland and Eastern Europe (Caudhur P. India in Kurdistan. Qwality Book Company, 2005. Original from the University of Michigan. Digitized, Aug 27, 2008, p. 77). However, some believe that these are Persians, and hence may be associated with the modern nation of Iran as there was an Elamite kingdom there--but some may have moved north. Eastern Europe seems to be a place that more of the Anglo-peoples would end up in as opposed to Iran (but some could end up in Iran).

According to the 19th century researcher George Rawlinson:

"Shinar" in Scripture is always the low country about Babylon (Rawlinson G. The origin of nations: In two parts: On early civilisations. On ethnic affinities, etc. Part 1. Scribner, 1881. Original from Harvard University, Digitized Dec 12, 2007, p. 211).

And he is correct that Shinar in scripture seems to be in the Middle East (cf. Daniel 1:2), like Iraq. Others believe that Elam and Shinar make up some of the peoples of India and Sri Lanka. If so, perhaps some people go to them. On the other hand, since Elam and Shinar tend to be mentioned together (cf. Rawlinson, p. 231; Isaiah 11:11), and they were associated with ancient Babylon, it is possible that they will be part of the final Babylon. And as suggested with Elam, perhaps their descendants became part of the slavic peoples that now occupy Eastern Europe.

Isaiah 11's reference to Hamath seems to be to an area in Lebanon.

The "islands of the sea" in Isaiah 11 seems to suggest that people will be in various islands. This likely includes some left in Australia and New Zealand, but also may include Asian lands such as Japan and Indonesia. However, it may be that the last statement in Isaiah 11:11 is referring to the islands west of Lebanon. If so, this would include such islands as Cyprus (the largest island closest to Lebanon), Sicily, Sardinia, Capri (and other Italian islands), Malta, Crete (and all the other Greek islands), Cres (and the other small Croatian islands), Majorca, Minorca, and Corsica. And since they are almost all part of the European Union, this seems to make sense.

And speaking of Asians, the following from Ezekiel seems to suggest that the Asians will end up with peoples, which would probably include Anglo-descended ones:

13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14 Those from the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules. (Ezekiel 27:13-14)

Tubal and Meshech are related to Russia (see Russia: Its Origins and Prophesied Future) (Meshech with Moscow and Tubal possibly with Siberia). Javan was the son of Japheth, from whom the Oriental/Mongoloid race developed (but some have identified the Greeks as Javan). Others have considered that the Japanese could have descended from one or more of Javan's sons like Elishah and perhaps Tarshish (see Japan, Its Biblical Past and Future, Part 1: Any Witness?). Islamic and other scholars have somewhat suggested that Javan may be related to China (see China, Its Biblical Past and Future, Part 1: Genesis and Chinese Characters).

The following may suggest that those in Palestinian and Lebanese (Tyre) controlled areas may send some Jews to Turkish lands (Edom appears to be the Turkish peoples):

6 Thus says the Lord: "For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they took captive the whole captivity To deliver them up to Edom...9 Thus says the Lord: "For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom (Amos 1:6,9).

Since the Bible is clear that people will be scattered among many nations, it appears that people will end up in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and various islands. Perhaps it should be mentioned that since those in Latin America are often made up of mixed peoples, that some will likely end up there as well.

Predictions and Events Outside of the Bible

Who will the King of the North divide the land with?

One of the most likely places would seem to be Mexico (who will likely be an ally of the King of the North, see Mexico, Central America, South America, and Brazil in Prophecy) as some from there have called for a "reconquista" of lands that the USA holds that were once part of Mexico (like most or all of California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado). Hence, if it makes some type of military and/or agricultural deal with the King of the North, it may be repaid with some or maybe even all, of its former territories.

Because of political and economic considerations, other nations would likely wish to be involved as well.

While I believe that we need to primarily rely on prophecies from the Bible, there are predictions outside of the Bible that suggest that the Anglo-nations will be divided and scattered as well.

Those peoples involved in making them slaves may feel justified from biblical and/or non-biblical perspectives.

Notice, for example, these Catholic prophecies:

Mother Shipton (d. 1551) The time will come when England shall tremble and quakeLondon shall be destroyed forever after . . . and then York shall be London and the Kingdom governed by three Lords appointed by a Royal Great monarchwho will set England right and drive out heresy (Culleton, R. Gerald. The Prophets and Our Times. Nihil Obstat: L. Arvin. Imprimatur: Philip G. Scher, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno, November 15, 1941. Reprint 1974, TAN Books, Rockford (IL), p. 163).

Saint Cataldus of Tarentino (c. 500): "The Great Monarch will be in war till he is forty years of age....he will assemble great armies and expel tyrants from his empire. He will conquer England and other island empires" (Connor, p.30).

St. Columbine (d. 597): ...the English shall be defeated...After the English shall be defeated...they shall be harassed by every quarter; like a fawn surrounded by a pack of voracious hounds, shall be the position of the English amidst their enemies. The English afterwards shall dwindle down to a disreputable people (Culleton, pp. 131,132).

St. Senanus (d. 560): They (English) themselves will betray each other: in consequence their sovereignty will be broken...One monarch will rule in Ireland over the English (Culleton, p. 128).

Hence, at least one Catholic prophecy shows that the United Kingdom will be divided up (among Europe) and another that the English shall be harassed all over. Notice that they are to be taken over by a "Great Monarch" (who seems to be the same person as the King of the North of the Bible) and possibly be under Irish domination. According to Catholic prophecy the Great Monarch will be the leader of the revived European "Holy Roman Empire". Perhaps it should be mentioned that the nation was not known as "England" when two the above prophecies were given--hence they seem to be a reference to the Anglo-derived peoples as opposed to only the area known now as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (which also includes Wales and Scotland).

There is an ancient Chinese prophecy from the Tang dynasty that might hint that it involves dividing Australia and New Zealand with Europe. It states:

Population mouth takes territories south of the Yangtze river. The capital is moved again. The two divide up the territories, of which each maintains and defends (Pui-Hua R. Ancient Chinese Prophecies Till the End of the World. AuthorHouse, Bloomington (IN), 2008, p. 164).

This may be related to a deal that perhaps the Chinese will make in the future with Europe (there are some ancient Chinese prophecies that discuss arrangements with some from the West), as opposed to military conquest. It also may not be related to the taking of Australia or New Zealand, but perhaps might be. Perhaps of prophetic interest, China dropped a hint in late 2011 that it may attack Australia militarily because of its military relationship with the U.S.A. (Calmes J. Obama Addresses Troops at Final Stop in Australia. November 17, 2011. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/18/world/asia/obama-addresses-troops-at-final-stop-inaustralia.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1)

Scripturally, Asians seem to be involved with the dividing up and selling of people in the future (Ezekiel 27:12-14). Since Australia and New Zealand are the closest of the Anglo-descended nations to Asia, they seem to be possible candidates to be taken over by the Asians.

Furthermore, notice the following Catholic prophecy:

American Catholic Prophecy (c. early 20th century): The yellow hordes of the Rising Sun and the middle kingdom will pour out their wrath on the people of the island kingdom which had gathered riches through trade (Dupont, Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement. TAN Books, Rockford (IL), 1973, p. 78).

Australia and New Zealand are island nations that have gained riches through trade. Since the USA owes Japan (the "land of the rising sun") and China (the "middle kingdom") massive amounts of money, it may be since Australia and New Zealand will be allies of the USA and UK, that Europe will give Australia over to China (and/or others in Asia) and New Zealand over to Japan (and/or others in

Asia) to help satisfy the USA/UK debt. Both China and Japan have longed for more land and the proximity of the island nations of Australia and New Zealand to the Asian powers seems to make this a likely scenario. The fact that Australia has about 78% as much land as China and New Zealand about 71% of the land of Japan make them interesting candidates for takeover.

Interestingly, Australians are starting to wonder about problems with China as LCG's Dr. Scott Winnail reported/edited:

Chinas Growing Global Threat. ALMOST half of Australians believe that China will become a military threat to Australia within 20 years, according to a recent Lowy Institute poll. While most Australians appreciate the economic benefits of a relationship with China, most believe that their government has allowed too much Chinese investment in Australia. A majority also feel Chinas goal is to dominate the Asian region. The survey revealed that Australians were positive about China's economic growth but fearful of its military aims (The Courier-Mail, May 31, 2010). While Bible prophecy does not indicate that China will rule the world prior to Christs return, it does inform us that populations of Israelitedescended nations, like Australia, will experience captivity by gentile nations at the end of the age (Amos 5:3; Deuteronomy 28:41-50). God often uses other nations as the rod of His anger, in order to get the attention of the people He works with. Egypt and Assyria are two historic nations God has used. Might He also use China to bring Israel low? Time will tell, but events certainly appear to be moving in this direction. (Living Church of God, World Ahead Weekly Update. News and Prophecy August 5, 2010)

Chinas Impact on Australia. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, China has detonated an economic bombshell on the eve of the Prime Ministers drive to sell the carbon tax, warning Australia has a dual-speed and patchwork economy and relies too heavily on Beijings demand for minerals. These stern words were made by a Chinese diplomat speaking on behalf of the Chinese Embassy. Additionally, upon viewing Australias economy as weak, China has also launched an attempt to bring Chinese workers to Australia to deal with what it describes as an infrastructure bottleneck and shortage of skilled labour. China is heavily involved in the Australian mining industry and for the first time ever, Australias trade with China rose above $100 billion in 2010 (July 7, 2011, p.2). As Chinas economy grows and its demand for natural resources expands, it continues to look far and wide for opportunities for economic expansion and to bring more resources to its needy people. Meanwhile, many Israelite-descended nations around the globe are becoming increasingly reliant on Chinese cash in order to keep their economies afloat. China is likely one of the tools that God is using to humble the once powerful and mighty Israelite-descended nations. God prophesied that A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor (Deuteronomy

28:33). This nation will ultimately gain control, as the host nation loses its control (verses 43-44, 49). (Living Church of God, World Ahead Weekly Update. News and ProphecyJuly 13, 2011)

The Australians themselves have had various concerns about China. In late 2011, the Australians made a deal to allow the USA to station "permanent troops" in their country (see Obama Putting Permanent Troops in Australia Because of China, But). The presence of US troops in China may also be used as part of China's possible future justification for taking the land of Australia. The Chinese may claim something to the effect that Australia is really a military pawn/representative of the USA and thus, since the USA owes them money, taking over Australia will help settle that debt.

Since it is likely that European-led force will take over the USA, the following development suggests that perhaps Europe may be inclined to give China something (like land) in the future as Germany and China are pledging closer ties:

BEIJING -- China and Germany Wednesday pledged to strengthen bilateral military ties. The pledge came out of a meeting between Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping and visiting German Federal Minister of Defence Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg...

The Chinese government attaches great importance to relations with Germany and will, as always, deal with it from a strategic, long-term point of view, Xi said. (China, Germany agree to further develop military ties. Xinhua - Nov 3, 2010. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/201011/03/c_13589422.htm)

The other reason the above is of interest is that there is a possibility that Karl-Theodor Guttenberg might become, or at least support, the final King of the North (please see the following article for more details Might German Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg become the King of the North?).

As far as the USA goes, notice this news story about a Russian prediction:

MOSCOW -- For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart...Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats...

When the going gets tough, he says, wealthier states will withhold funds from the federal government and effectively secede from the union. Social unrest up to and including a civil war will follow. The U.S. will then split along ethnic lines, and foreign powers will move in.

California will form the nucleus of what he calls "The Californian Republic," and will be part of China or under Chinese influence. Texas will be the heart of "The Texas Republic," a cluster of states that will go to Mexico or fall under Mexican influence. Washington, D.C., and New York will be part of an "Atlantic America" that may join the European Union... Hawaii, he suggests, will be a protectorate of Japan or China, and Alaska will be subsumed into Russia.

"It would be reasonable for Russia to lay claim to Alaska; it was part of the Russian Empire for a long time." A framed satellite image of the Bering Strait that separates Alaska from Russia like a thread hangs from his office wall. "It's not there for no reason," he says with a sly grin.

(Osborn A. As if Things Werent Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S. Wall Street Journal, Dec 29, 2008 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html).

Now, although the Russian is not specifically predicting an attack on the USA, notice he believes that USA economic issues will likely cause it to be divided up. How he believes that the USA will be divided up is, though somewhat inaccurate, interesting none-the-less. The idea of the USA being divided up is biblically supported, and this idea apparently is starting to have a little support among certain internationalists.

Because of military and political considerations, the King of the North might be inclined to give Russia all or parts of Alaska as well as possibly parts of Canada, as well as some people from those lands.

Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided and Peoples Scattered?

The Bible is clear that the lands of the United States and apparently its final military allies (like the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and perhaps New Zealand) will be taken over and divided by the final European Beast power, also known as the King of the North. The Anglo-descended peoples (including many who live among them) that survive will be scattered among the nations.

Because of debt, military pressures, political and other interests, precisely how each nation will be divided is not entirely clear. Yet, both biblical and non-biblical prophecies suggest that Europe will take advantage of their military conquests and many of the people that survive their attack (and do not die from famine or pestilences) will become slaves. Selling human beings is part of the merchandise of the end time Babylon (Revelation 18:10-13). Notice the following excerpts:

10...Babylon...11 And the merchants of the earth... 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

Sold people are usually considered to be slaves. Slaves that will be end up in many nations around the world. This clearly includes Europe, Asia, North Africa, and islands. It likely will include much of the rest of the world as well.

Without national repentance, this will happen relatively soon. And since national repentance does not seem likely at this time, the Anglo-descended nations are doomed.

Amos 9:10 makes it clear that those who overlook these prophecies will suffer:

10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.' (Amos 9:10)

But although many will be killed, this scattering and captivity will end:

47 Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the Gentiles...(Psalms 106:47)

11 For I am with you,' says the Lord, 'to save you; Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, Yet I will not make a complete end of you. But I will correct you in justice, And will not let you go altogether unpunished.' (Jeremiah 30:11)

10 "Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, And declare it in the isles afar off, and say, 'He who scattered Israel will gather him, And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.' 11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, And ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he. (Jeremiah 31:10-11)

16 Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Although I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone."' 17 Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."' 18 And they will go there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there. 19 Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. (Ezekiel 11:16-21)

33 "As I live," says the Lord God, "surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you. 34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. 35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face. 36 Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you," says the Lord God. (Ezekiel 20:33-36)

21 "Then say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king

shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God. 24 "David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. (Ezekiel 37:21-24)

22 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; He will no longer send you into captivity. (Lamentations 4:22)

The passages from Ezekiel were never fulfilled by the Jews returning to the Middle East. It is a prophecy for the future. And it will come to pass.

Also notice that the Gentiles will later learn why the Anglo-peoples went into captivity:

23 The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them."'

25 "Therefore thus says the Lord God: 'Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name 26 after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer..." (Ezekiel 39:23-28)

The Bible is clear that the good news is that Jesus will return and call for the return of the Anglopeoples and others who were made slaves. Christ will establish His millennial kingdom and the world, including the Anglo-peoples, will be able to live in peace and prosperity.

But before that, severe times await the Anglo-descended peoples. They will be taken over militarily, many of the survivors will be made slaves, and the land will be divided among nations to prosper the coming final King of the North.
