The Royal Coat of Arms or Crest of Britain is that of Lion and a Unicorn representing the two tribes of Israel as being that of Judah and Ephraim. And thus it is considered that such of the British peoples are discendants of those two scattered tribes of Israel. That is a loose conception that works with our intent here. But just such is the similar situation that exists in those of the Book of Morman, where they are those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh and Judah; that being of families of Ismael, Lehi, and Mulek.

The situation is that in terms of patriarchal blessings, Britian saints are mostly of Ephraim, who is of Joseph, that is great. But there are hardly any of Judah. The similar situation is in America, where there church membership is mostly of Ephraim and of Manasseh and extremely few of Judah. And that is as true of the 'Lamanite' South American counties as it is of North American. It begs an answer, what happened to the descendants of Mulek in the Book of Mormon that there is none of Judah today from Mulek. And just about the same question of those of Britain. Why are they mostly of Ephraim and not of Judah there as well. Is not the Lion of Britain that of the Royal descent of the house of David?

For our purposes here the answer is quite easily determined. The Royal House of David of Israel was legally and rightfully that which descended from Ephraim as has been previously discussed, that Obed was raised up as the seed of the house of Mahlon and Elimelech, Ephrathites or Ephraimites. Boaz was but the surrogate kinsman who raised up seed to the dead house of Mahlon, whose wife was Ruth, after the order of the Law of Moses as set out in Deuteronomy 25:5-10.

Now consider, the prime source for those who have been the founders of the LDS Church has been those of the countries of England and Europe. And this because as the various patriarchal blessings of the church leaders and founders so state as well as that the scriptural blessing of Ephraim and Joseph is to so be the tribe who did so fulfill this obligation in the latter days of the covenant of Abraham, that it would fall upon the tribe of Ephriam, the Firstborn of Israel. And so it has according to the Doctrine and Covenants, as also according to the many statements of the prophets of the latter day Chruch. So it is that England and Western Europe has been so considered as the prime source of this promised seed of Ephraim.

But now the mystery, if the royal heads of England and Europe through which lines do also come much of the populations of these nations, so claim to be descendants of the royal house of David, then how is it that Judah is not the or at least a part of the prevalent tribe of the restoration? Many saints find there genealogies going back to such roots. And it the D&C is correct in its application to Joseph Smith that he is a descendant of Joseph as well as of 'Jesse', how then is he a 'pure Ephraimite' as Brigham Young so states?

It is established fact that the Royal House of England and many other Royal Houses of Europe profess to be rightfully descended from the House of David. And it is a matter of fact that many descendants of such lines in England and Europe who show and/or profess such royal blood lines, for such has surely filtered down and they profess the truth of the matter; are also of the church and their patriarchal blessing is to the end that they are of Ephraim. There are many who are of England and not of the Church, yet they do also profess that they are dominantly of the tribe of Ephriam. Now if David is not of Ephraim but of Judah, how is this to be? How are such descendants of King David Ephraimites? How is Joseph Smith, a descendant of Jesse, David's father, a 'pure Ephraimite'?

The answer to the mystery is simple. The Royal House of David is legally and righfully of the House of Ephraim and therefore of the House of Joseph of Egpyt. Thus all of England and of Europe, who are not a part of those who come out of Judah as Jews, are Ephraimites. King David was an Ephrathite, meaning Ephraimite, as was his father Jesse. Thus in the same way that the royal houses of England and Europe are of Ephraim through the House of David, so is Jesus Christ and so is Joseph Smith. This mystery has only one possible conclusion. And that is Boaz was only the acting vicarious and surrogate father under the Law of God, the Law of Moses (Deuteronoy 25:5-10) which made Obed the first born son of Ruth to be the legel and rightful heir of the House of Mahlon, Elimelech and Naomi. Obed was raised up to be the 'seed of the dead' house of Mahlon. Obed was, like Mahlon his true father and Elimelech his true grandfather, an Ephrathite, meaning Ephraimite and of the House of Joseph.

The presented descendants of Judah in Europe are many. Kings of Greece, Kings of Denmank, Scandnavian Kings, Frankish Kings, Trojan Kings, Kings of Ireland, Kings of Scotland, the Royal House of Tudor and the Royal House of Windsor, they seem to all be there. And they are from such as David and Solomon and even Zedekiah. And all are related to the virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. But where have they all gone when it comes time for an accounting of which tribe are they descended from as their seed spills over into the common folk? None of Jewish descent there. And why not, where had it gone to? Where has it been lost? And as the Royal Coat displays both the Unicorm of Wild Ox of Joseph beside the Lion of King David, why are all of Britain but of Ephraim and none from Judah in the patriarchal blessings of the church today?
