1. Introduction. The Israelite and Tribal Aspects of the USA.
The Lost Ten Tribes are amongst Western Nations. Possibly about half of them numerically are to be found in the USA. The USA contains representatives of all 12 Tribes including many from Judah. In the USA the descendants of Joseph are especially dominant. Joseph was divided into two Tribes: Ephraim and Manasseh. Again numerically it may be that there are more of Ephraim than Manasseh in the USA BUT Manasseh is pre-eminent. The USA reflects the Tribal character of Manasseh. [The Tribe of Ephraim acheived a more pronounced expression amongst the British and their offshoots.]
We found the Israelite origins of the USA reflected in the dollar sign. This symbol helps identify the USA with the Exiles of Israel from the Ten Tribes.
2. The Dollar Sign is the Emblem of Tarshish and the Atlantic Ocean, as Prophesied in Isaiah 60.
The US dollar sign was an adaptation of a sign that appeared on Spanish pieces of eight. This was common currency in Latin America and also popular in the USA.
The Spanish sign was based on the Coat of Arms of Spanish Royalty depicting two pillars representing the Straits of Gilbraltar.
This sign in effect represents Tarshish.

Tarshish
Tarshish was originally a kingdom (Tartessos) encompassing Gibraltar in southwest Spain. It bridged the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean shore. Tarshish was later associated with the Phoenicians and with silver mining.
THe Phoenicians and Philistines had transported Israelite Captives to the region of Tarshish and other areas in the west. They were working on behalf of the Assyrians who needed the silver of Spain and other mineral resources in the west, such as tin in Cornwall, gold and copper in Ireland, etc. [This was apart from the bulk of Israelites who were deported overland to different sections of the Assyrian Empire. From those areas they also moved westward.]
Eventually the Israelites in Tarshish asserted their indepdencen and moved to the British Isles and other areas. Descendants of these Hebrews from Tarshish were important in founding present-day North American cvivilization. In Biblical and Rabbinical terminology the name Tarshish could refer to the Atlantic region in general.
The ships of Tarshish will be instrumental in helping the Israelites return to the Land of Israel in the End Times.
The dollar sign in effect represents Tarshish.
Isaiah 60:
8 Who are these that fly like a cloud,
and like doves to their windows?
9 For the coastlands shall wait for me,
the ships of Tarshish first,
to bring your children from far away,
their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the LORD your God,
and for the Holy One of Israel,
because he has glorified you.
We see from Isaiah 60 that in the End Times the Israelites will return by airplanes "that fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows".
They will also return by ships of Tarshish meaning ships from the Atlantic Ocean area. This is the region of North America, the British Isles, and Western Europe. It is worth noting that the great scholar Cyrus Gordon believed that Tarshish referred to North America.
There are reports that Jews in the 1600s considered the ships of Tarshish to be the ships of the Netherlands which at that time had international importance.
At all events they were associated with the Atlantic Ocean area.
The Prophecy of Isaiah concerning the ships of Tarshish also inspired the explorations of Christopher Columbus in the Atlantic Ocean area.
These lead to the discovery of the Americas.
Chuck Missler (quoting from Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 16, p. 688) tells us:
Columbus was more driven by prophecy than astronomy. He compiled a collection of Biblical passages in his Libro de las Profecias, Book of Prophecies: Proverbs 8:27, which speaks of the earth's surface as being curved; Isaiah 40:22, the spherical earth; and the ocean currents in Isaiah 43:16.5
He would later describe his discovery of the New World as "the fulfillment of what Isaiah prophesied," from Isaiah 24:15, "Isles beyond the sea," and Isaiah 60:9.

Isaiah 60:

Another name for the USA is Columbia:
Columbia (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Columbia is a historical and poetic name used for the United States of America and is also the name of its female personification.
Columbia is a New Latin toponym, combining a stem Columb- based on the surname of the explorer Christopher Columbus and an ending -ia, common in Latin names of countries... The meaning is therefore "Land of Columbus."...
The name Columbia for "America" first appeared in 1738...
Columbia is an obvious calque [re-applied loanword] on America, substituting the base of the surname of the discoverer Christopher Columbus for the base of the given name of the somewhat less well-known Americus Vespucius...
As the debates of Parliament, many of whose decisions directly affected the colonies, were distributed and closely followed in the British colonies in America, the name "Columbia" would have been familiar to the United States' founding generation...
We see that Columbia is another name for the USA. The name is derived from Columbus.
The name Columbus is a,
# Variant of the Latin word meaning "dove". Made famous by Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer who discovered America. #

The name Columbia (meaning America) may thus be understand to connote "Land of the Doves".
Isaiah 60:8 describes the Israelites returning like doves to their windows and links them with the ships of Tarshish.
