What you describe above is a word play. I'm not saying it is an illegitimate word play (word plays are all over the Bible), but Artzot HaBrit = United States. That's not a word play, it's a dictionary entry. It is a definition directly taken from the word "brit": covenant, treaty, pact, alliance... bet resh yud tav. Britanyah is transliterated: tet vs. tav. The British Empire was great. The last vestige of 'great' is in name only. America + Israel... Ephraim + Judah. The terrorists seem to understand this instinctively.

I imagine we're both right seeing how Britain and America received Jacob/Israel's name with Britain receiving the birthright. I still say Britain isn't in the category of a has-been nation. The company of nations making up the U.K. is a great end time force. I believe it's more accurate to look at the root of names rather than their modernized names. The word America may have it's roots in the line of Manasseh, Land of the Britons looks to be definitely Hebrew. Ephraim (the U.K.) has definitely been more fruitful and therefore great. We speak Ephraim's language, the U.K. is spread to the four corners of the earth covering much more land mass. The nations of the U.K. generally follow Britain's lead in times of war. Not to mention that Britain holds the sceptor of Judah, David's kingline.
