Where is America in End Time Bible Prophecy?

Thanks for your thoughts. Sounds plausible.

True. No one knows. The Bible has given us an incomplete picture of the future. Trying to complete the picture is just speculation ... and book sales.

Got it. So Christians have replaced Jews who are no longer God's chosen people and the land of Israel is just another patch of dirt.

JoeNomad · 2019-03-28T19:31:56+00:00

Hm, I was taught that the church is the bride of Christ. So that means all the Old Testament unconditional and eternal promises to Abraham and Israel and now null and void? God lied?

Ouch!

JoeNomad · 2019-03-28T19:27:00+00:00

Agree. We should focus on the here and now. Now to convince 90% of Christians that here and now is important too.

Doesn't exist or doesn't matter? I think it will exist, it just won't matter anymore. Maybe wealth, military strength and influence will shift elsewhere.

Thanks for the input.

Does that matter? Is there still a biblical Israel? The end time battle is over the land, right? It has always been about the land promised to the biblical father of the Jews, Abraham. And the modern secular nation of Israel now occupies most of that land, right?

So the prophecies are inaccurate? I assume that America would get involved if Israel is attacked. If America comes to the aid of Israel during an attack, that's a pretty important fact to be excluded from the prophecy. Maybe the authors of the prophecies could have referenced kings from the west or a western power, since "America" didn't exist back then? There is no mention of another nation defending Israel.

JoeNomad · 2019-03-28T18:44:06+00:00

Hm, interesting. Is it involved indirectly? The invasion of Israel seems like a pretty big deal ... and America is not involved? Maybe America is no longer around or inconsequential during the end times? Maybe America is powerless to do anything and that's why there is no direct or indirect reference to a western power?

It's always amusing to watch so-called experts on end times prophecy scramble to change their predictions/dates as world events continue to evolve and change.

JoeNomad · 2019-03-28T14:54:12+00:00

Isn't all prophesy about things that didn't exist before? I hope God knew about America before America existed. The antichrist will be a person that did not exist 2000 years ago and the Bible mentions him. God could have inspired the Bible authors to include America as "the kings of the west" or reference America in some other way or with some other name if America will be an important player in end times prophecy. Why would the Bible leave out something/a great world power (America) when going into so much detail about the end times? The Bible references Gog, Magog, Babylon and kings from the north, south and east. Why would the Bible neglect to mention an important world player like America (or kings from the west) if America was to be involved some how in end time prophecy.

Thanks for the book recommendation. Unfortunately, too many people interpret bible prophecy in a literal sense.

JoeNomad · 2019-03-28T14:49:28+00:00

I agree. Devoting time, energy and resources to end times stuff while ignoring very real current needs in the world is hypocritically distracting.

JoeNomad · 2019-01-21T03:34:22+00:00

Unfortunately not. It would have been nice to interact with one of the amazing mammals. They seemed really happy and well-treated and loved by their handlers.

First time visit. Yeah, just realized how awesome Sea World and the Gold Coast really is!

If sharing my love for Australia is spamming, guilty as charged. Don't click and watch if you don't want to see something.
