Which nations are the modern descendants of the tribes of Israel?

The tribe of Manasseh is basically in the United States. The tribe of Ephraim is mainly the English-speaking, Anglo-Saxon countries of the British Commonwealth. This includes Canada, New Zealand, parts of South Africa and Australia. (For more information on the identities of these tribes, please read our free book America and Britain in Prophecy.) The modern-day Jews are descendants of the tribe of Judah, and are scattered among many nations. A large portion of them live in the modern nation of Israel.

Upon examining information from prophecy, as well as biblical and secular history, the locations of the remaining tribes can be discovered: Reuben—France; Simeon and Levi—scattered among the other Israelite nations; Issachar—Finland; Zebulun—Holland (the Netherlands); Benjamin—Norway and Iceland; Dan—Ireland and a portion of Denmark that mixed within the other Israelite nations; Naphtali—Sweden; Gad—Switzerland; Asher—Belgium and Luxembourg. Many gentile nations (gentiles are those of non-Israelitish backgrounds) have mingled in these same countries, particularly in major metropolitan areas.
