The short answer is; America as part of the western nations is at times indicated, but never mentioned directly. The American continents were, of course, unknown to biblical writers unless referred to indirectly by the Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some modern prophecy teachers tend to opine about the US as the \u201ceagle\u201d who will protect Israel during the great tribulation. They refer to Daniels description of eagle\u2019s wings being plucked from the back of a lion. The lion as they posit is England and the US the eagle which came out of Britain. This because the modern symbols of these two countries are the lion (UK) and the eagle (US). They then combine that with Revelation 12:14 where Israel is transported to safety during the tribulation on the \u201cwings of a great eagle\u201dindicating assistance from the US. This, however, is a huge stretch and mere opinion without objective scriptural support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another teaching from prophecy circles is that the US is \u201cMystery Babylon\u201d. Or, perhaps, New York City or Washington D.C., might be the prophesied \u201cwoman riding the beast\u201d. I believe this to be completely inaccurate (see the permanent link to Mystery Babylon article to find out her identity). However, there is some truth here in that many of Americas wealthy politicians and \u201cmerchants\u201d are already part of the hierarchy of MB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More directly the western nations are referred to by the biblical prophets collectively as far off \u201ccoastlands\u201d or \u201csea lands\u201d or \u201cisles (islands)\u201d. The Hebrew word is simply \u201cee<\/em>\u201d a far- off desirable land for gentiles. It is used 36 times in the Old Testament to describe far-off lands of the gentiles. Thus, if you live in the Americas, or actually any land far from the middle east, you can assume, when you see this word, that the prophecy\/message is specifically for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These following passages typify prophetic references of the far- off gentile coastlands. The prophet Isaiah of the coming Messiah; \u201cListen, O coastlands to Me, and take heed, you peoples from afar\u2026\u2026I will also give You as a light to the gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/em> (Isaiah 49:1,6) Jeremiah says this: \u201cHear the Word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off\u2026..\u201d (<\/em>Jeremiah 31:10) Concerning judgment, Ezekiel prophecies: \u201cAnd I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.\u201d<\/em> (Ezekiel 39:6) Jesus prophesied about His disciples thus; \u201cand you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/em> (Acts 1:8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are enough indirect references to the Americas in scripture to indicate they are not exempt from any of God\u2019s directives from preaching the Gospel to ultimate judgement and destruction. If you live in the Americas or even the far east such as China, God has specifics for you in His Word. Although much of coming prophecy is middle east centric, even if you live in these remote areas of the world, you can expect the effects of an antichrist world government and the resulting judgments from God to impact your livelihood. Be prepared. Be ready to endure to the end. Keep studying your bible that you might conform yourself to the example set by Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maranatha, Jim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The short answer is; America as part of the western nations is at times indicated, but never mentioned directly.
