Is the USA Mentioned in scripture???

NOT REALLY BUT HERE IS WHAT PEOPLE LOOK AT:

“Three main passages of Scripture are used to support this idea. 

 

  -  1  The first passage is Isaiah 18:1–7. This chapter refers two times to a place “whose land the rivers divide.” Some scholars interpret this as a reference to the Mississippi River and the many other rivers that divide the United States. The nation is called “a people feared far and wide, / A powerful and oppressive nation” (v. 2). This is taken as a reference to the mighty military machine of the U.S. armed forces.

The problem with this view is that the passage itself identifies the nation being described: “Alas, oh land of whirring wings / Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush, / Which sends envoys by the sea, / Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters” (v. 1). The nation referred to in this passage is the ancient kingdom of Cush (modern Sudan), not the United States.”

 

 

 

 

 

  -  2  “The second passage is Ezekiel 38:13:

“Sheba and Dedan and the merchants, the young lions of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?’ THE YOUNG LIONS some view as a reference to The United States. 

 

Therefore, some view these young lions of Tarshish as a veiled reference to the United States.

While this view is certainly possible, the evidence seems too tenuous to make any certain statements about this being a reference to America.”

 

 

  -  3  “A third passage that is often cited as referring to the United States is Revelation 17–18, in which “Babylon the Great” is discussed. Babylon is called “the great city” in Revelation 17, a fact that has led some to say that Babylon is a reference to New York City.

 

Having carefully examined the most frequently cited passages that are used to support the idea that America is mentioned in Bible prophecy, I have concluded that America is not mentioned PRECISELY in Bible prophecy.

 

 

 

However, this raises another interesting question: Why isn’t America mentioned in Bible prophecy? Israel is mentioned by name and most scholars believe that Europe is the reunited Roman empire of the last days. So why isn’t America mentioned?

 

EGOCENTRIC: It’s not about us!

 

Look at a map of the world in each country… who is in the center? 

 

“Search though you might, you will never find America mentioned specifically, by name, in the Bible. However, this is true of most other modern nations as well.”

 

MARK HITCHCOCK IDEAS WITH OTHER SCHOLARS…

 

“Option 1

America will still be a powerful nation in the last days, but the Lord simply chose not to mention her specifically. After all, it is important to recognize that most modern nations are not mentioned in the Bible: 

Scotland isn’t mentioned

India

Australia

Canada

Japan

South America

North America

 

 

 

AMERICA STILL POWERFUL? JUST IGNORED?

“This view is possible, but seems unlikely to me. It would seem that if America were still the greatest nation in the world during the Tribulation, God would mention her in Scripture. 

 

QUOTE:

As John Walvoord, one of the world’s leading prophecy scholars, observes:

Although conclusions concerning the role of America in prophecy in the end time are necessarily tentative, the Scriptural evidence is sufficient to conclude that America in that day will not be a major power and apparently does not figure largely in either the political, economic, or religious aspects of the world.4

 

 

Option 2

 

America is not mentioned specifically because she will be destroyed by other nations. In other words, she will experience a fall from the outside before the end times.

 

 

Some feel we will be destroyed by Nuclear war…

Maybe, but 2 things:

FIRST - In the end times when Christ comes there will be drinking, partying, marriage, good times etc…

SECOND - For such a strong country to be destroyed in such an epic fashion one would think that it would be mentioned in scripture.

 

BUT IT IS A SLIM POSSIBILITY. 

 

 

 

Option 3

America is not mentioned in Bible prophecy because she will have lost her influence as a result of moral and spiritual deterioration. She will experience a fall from the inside before the end times.

 

YOU KNOW WHY THESE IDEAS SCARE SOME OF US? BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THE USA AS OUR SAVIOUR AND NOT JESUS! 

 

 

 

 

Option 4 MARK AND GARTHS IDEAS

Fourth option that I feel best explains the silence concerning America in the Scriptures: 

 

America will become a third-rate nation overnight 

 

 

 

 

Consider this fact. 

  -  If the Rapture were to happen today, the United States would probably lose more people per capita than anyother nation in the world. 

 

  -  At the Rapture, the Islamic nations in the Middle East would feel almost no effect at all. 

 

  -  The U.S. could become a third-world nation overnight.

 **Millions of home mortgages would go unpaid, 

              ****the stock market would crash, 

     **millions of productive workers would be suddenly removed from the workforce.

 **Thousands of businesses would lose their owners, CEO’s, Who’s got the password?

 

 

  -  As our nation heats up with evil… it will awaken the church to actually RISE UP and cry out to God…

WE WILL SEE A HUGE REVIVAL

 

 

 

The Rapture will be God’s judgment on America.

 

 

Most will say “we needs Gods power”….

NO NO NO… First we need the church to wake up and seek God! 

 

THE GREAT USA… is not our savior, it is not our hope.

The president, the political powers… not our hope!

 

Prov. 23:18 Where does our hope come from?
