One of the most common questions regarding Bible prophecy is where is the United States in scripture? Many nations of the world are not mentioned in scripture, however it is hard to understand how the world\u2019s most powerful nation would not be. At least not in a way that we recognize it clearly.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
There are many theories and ideas as to why this is but here are three of the most common:<\/p>\n
The United States is no longer relevant
The United States is destroyed
The United States is no longer its own country \u2013 but part of a larger union of nations \u2013 possibly controlled by the Antichrist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAll of these responses are based on speculation. We simply do not know the answer but it is very possible there may be some symbolism that the United States may fit into. We must simply watch and wait to see what God\u2019s plan for America is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
More obvious solutions immediately come to mind if one has engaged in any sort of serious, well-informed study of the prophetic and apocalyptic literature in the Bible. First, the Biblical prophetic literature doesn\u2019t engage in accurate long-term accurate forcasting in detail. The few instances that seem to offer detailed descriptions of events even a few centuries in the future (such as the Book of Daniel) are almost universally agreed to have been written in light of the events, rather than offering actual prediction. Second, it may be that the focus of even the future-focused works are focused on the near future, and never look ahead to our time.<\/p>\n
And so I wish once again that Facebook had a \u201cdislike\u201d button, because I dislike Prophecy News Watch. It is just the sort of thing that inspired an apocalyptic fervor in me in my teenage years, and yet missed an opportunity to actually provide me with a greater understanding of this Biblical literature.<\/p>\n
Let me end with a verse from the Bible that sounds like it could be a prophecy about Prophecy News Watch:<\/p>\n
For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge (Romans 10:2<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
