Blessings Upon Manasseh
Advances That Changed The World
Opening Wider The Doors To Wisdom
Wisdom: Wisdom is Knowledge with Understanding. And the more one learns the more one can learn as progress builds upon progress. Thus, learning the language dealing with a subject enables humanity to think, to retain, and to utilize what has been learned in terms of that language.
Nations And People: Of particular interest are the nations and people involved in "Unveiling The Mystery Of Electricity". That is, people who did the unveiling were from Europe and the British Isles on the East of the Atlantic and from North America on the West of the Atlantic. Thus, people and nations on both sides of the Atlantic opened the door very wide for the subsequent development of technologies.
The Prophetic Blessings Upon Manasseh: The advent of the Blessing bestowed upon Joseph's eldest son, Manasseh, then began to spring forth starting in the midst of the 1700's (i.e. About 200 years after Joshua's Three Days: Joshua 1:11-12). That is, Manasseh's inheritance was on both sides of the River Jordan and the Jordan prefigured the Atlantic Ocean (Genesis 48:8-20; I Chronicles 5:18-23,26; Joshua 22:1-34; Numbers 32:33; 34:14-15).

Why Did It Happen All At Once?
Technological Advancements
Background
Phenomenal Changes have been evolving as humanity transitioned from a world of doing without to a world of vast technological advancements. Thus, this New World continues to forge ahead with amazing modernizations. But what awaits humanity in the future?
The Great Transitions: Prophecy speaks of the restoration of health, wellbeing, and eternal life (Heaven on earth) when people enter a special Eternal Kingdom as "Saints". Whereas, until entering the Eternal Kingdom people continue to be subjected to oppression, disease (plagues), infirmities (afflictions), and deaths (Hell on earth). Troubles are to increase in frequency and intensity until people react accordingly. That is, three tiers of "Saints" and a fourth tier of eternal servants (their lake of fire) are foretold to materialize during a special 1,650 year interval now underway. And during this great transition there are to be multiple resurrections of the dead and a whole host of events. Will it all happen as foretold?
Meanwhile, Life Goes On and prophetic changes continue to evolve. A fantastic New World is still materializing before our eyes. But how have we contributed to the myriad phenomenal changes? And, if prophecy continues to come true, where will we be in the ongoing Regeneration?
Humanity's Leap Into Space
Inevitable Advancements occurred as humanity prepared to enter even further into a vast new world now evolving. Progress has been like building blocks: the greater the foundation, the greater the structure that can be built upon it. The more one learns the more one can learn. Progress builds upon progress.
Thus, as humanity learned the language of flight, for example, humanity was able to think, to retain, and to utilize what had been learned in terms of that language.
Parallel Progress: Of course, modern flight, for example, would not be possible without the myriad parallel advancements, the myriad supportive achievements, involving a multitude of areas. Humanity's knowledge, understanding, and abilities in these areas include: metals, plastics, and other materials; fuels; electronics; communications & telemetry; tools; pressurization; heating; cooling; foods; packaging; fabrics; manufacturing; air traffic control; radars; etc. The list is too numerous to itemize everything that even includes educating knowledgeable people trained and experienced in every facet of preparing and providing these achievements.
Progress Forced More Progress: As humanity's quest for knowledge and achievements grew, progress uncovered obstacles that had to be overcome and better ways of doing things. Thus progress opened the doors to more progress.
It's All So Fantastic, It Defeats Human Logic;
Yet It's Happening
Overflowing Prosperity
Modern Chariots Are Only One Example Of
Humanity's Double Portion
Amazing Changes Have Evolved: People existed for thousands of years without vast modernizations enjoyed today. Humanity's double portion came right on schedule. Knowledge with understanding of electricity gave people electric lighting, motors that do all sorts of work, and other devices operated by electricity now provided by international grids and power stations down to battery (chemical) and solar power. The internal combustion gas engine brought forth economical motor vehicles, diesels gave man the power and muscle to do what gas couldn't do with practicality. Earlier the printing press gave a more practical means of communication that allowed the documentation of research and knowledge, daily news, text books, and mass publication of information. The telephone, radio, wireless teletype, television, telemetry, Internet, and cell phones opened a multitude of new doors. Of course, everyone is aware of the ships, trains, aircraft, and computer age. Today the world is totally different than that experienced 200 years ago and earlier. Yet, this still growing New World holds many surprises.
What Awaits Humanity In The Future? Significant questions concerning people today involve events now that are to influence humanity's future. Where can we go for answers? And, since much prophecy in Scripture has already come true, it only stands to reason that we look to the Scriptures to examine what has been foretold. Questions now forthcoming deal with the religious media's silence on very vital matters that concern all humanity. What has been foretold to happen in the next 1,650 years?
Nuclear Power: A virtually unlimited energy source, demonstrated in the 1940's, exposed the tremendous forces stored in tiny atoms whose energies may be used for good or evil. Nuclear energy has been used for creating weapons of mass destruction; powering propulsion units enabling submarines, for example, to traverse the world; and providing energy sources to electrify vast regions. Nuclear physics only began to investigate the potential of the atom on the Sixth Day; but, the door to future knowledge and understanding has been opened very wide.
Blessings Upon Ephraim
The Beginning Of A New Era
"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years (Cycles: 120 Jubilees of 50 years each equals 6,000 years completed in the Spring of 1996 AD)."
Genesis 6:3; Leviticus 25:8-10
Today few people perceive the gravity of evolving events. The gravity of events is like crossing an ocean and entering a whole new world. But two worlds are awaiting humanity in the future … one with blessings versus the other with curses (Deuteronomy 28:1-14; 11:22-25; 7:11-16; versus 28:15-68; Isaiah 31:2-3; Jeremiah 30:16-17; etc.).
Yes, the completion of 6,000 years From Creation marked the close of an old era and the beginning of a great Regeneration (Matthew 19:28).
Even Moses was alerted to warn people to be ready against the Third Day, the Third Millennial Day from the 5 BC Birth of Jesus (Exodus 19:11-19). And that "Third Day" arrived in the Spring of 1996 AD.
And "the wedding" is to take place on the "Third Day" (John 2:1-11; Revelation 11:15-18; 12:10; 19:6-9).

Ephraim’s Blessings
This text identifies several significant blessings upon Manasseh, Joseph’s eldest son. And the rest of the world were blessed because of Manasseh. People everywhere can see this today. Now watch and help as Ephraim receives his inheritance to be tenfold that of his brother Manasseh (Deuteronomy 33:17). And those who help to bless Ephraim are to be similarly blessed (Genesis 12:3).
Initial endeavors require removal of restrictions between nations, roads & highways, schools and colleges, utilities, airports, railroads, hospitals, parklands, marine facilities for cruise ships, etc. Ephraim will be an envious place to live.
