Where is the United States in Bible Prophecy? Do you believe we are living in what is called the end of time for the Christians? Is this the season Jesus is coming back in the clouds to gather the saints? Give your answers and why you believe what you believe. For those of you who do not believe in God or Jesus do not give commit or give those who do commit a hard time. Do not ruin this for those who believe.

I firmly believe we are in the end times all biblical prophecy points to it !I think the lord is only tarrying hoping more folks will be saved however he will not wait much longer and i believe this generation will see his return!

I know some believe that the United States are in prophecy and others who don't, myself I don't really know.. As for the end times, absolutely we are there. When Israel became a state in 1948, that was the beginning of the countdown, the L♥rd will return before that generation passes away. Also the wars and rumors of wars and the increase of natural disasters, all point to His coming back..

I believe that USA is in Bible prophecy as "the little eagle". The eagle is the UK and we are a country that is like an offspring to it. So we would be the little eagle. The Bear is Russia and there is some others that I just can't call up off the top of my head. Hope that helps.

I'm sorry, I didn't answer the rest of your questions with my first comment. You asked about the end times. Yes, I believe that we are living in the end times but the end times is not just for Christians. It is for the entire human race, no matter what your religion. The end times is really about putting an end to Satan and what he is going to do. There are many beliefs about how to interpret prophecy but all in all, I think that the Seventh Day Adventists have a more accurate interpretation than most. I do not believe in a secret resurrection of the church when Christ returns. I believe that the whole world will know it without a doubt when he returns. I do believe that we will return in the clouds as the Bible says. I think it will happen this way so that it is possible for the whole world to see Jesus return! How close do I think that this is? I really can't be sure. It could happen any day. I know that it is also possible that it won't happen for another millenia! But happen, it will.

I think most of bible scholars believe that US has a less role in the end times.

Most bible prophecies are focused around Isreal.

OK and now the conclusion... So in Jeremiah it says that Ephraim will be bonded together with Judah. So what 2 nations are bonded together with Judah or what we know as the Jewish state of Israel. I'll give you a hint, they are 2 of the most prosperous nations in the world. They are also brother nations, if you will. And the oldest brother is not as great as the younger. Here it is. It's the US and England. The US is the younger and the most blessed of all the best the world has to offer. Now off to Ezekiel 38 we see a nation that God calls "Israel" but there is no way on earth that it can be the Jewish state of Israel. Look at the description of the nation that Gog and Magog will attack. Was long left desolete. This land was not populated to any extent until 500 years ago. It will be a land living in peace and safety. By no means Israel of today. rich in goods and cattle and all of that gathered in the middle of the land. No bars on doors and windows. No cities built with walls. It will be a nation that is from many nations. So what we see here is that this nation is going to be attacked at the end of time. There is only one nation on the Earth that fulfills all of these criteria. that would be the United State. So you see the US will play a BIG part in the end times. Maybe one of the most crucial parts. tell me what you think. this was not as long as my first post that got messed up but I hope it answered your question, at least the first one.

Now of the sons of Israel (Jacob) Reaben was the first born so to him would go the birthright blessing. That is the best of the inheritance. But reuben slept with his fathers concubine and lost his birthright. (bummer). So who did all the best blessing go to? Look in Gen 49 and you will see. It went to Joseph who was Jacobs favorite son. Since Joseph was considered an Egyptian Jacob adopted Joseph's sons as his own. Mannaseh and Ephriam were his sons. Mannaseh was the oldest and Ephriam was the youngest. However, when Jacob blessed them he made the youngest the greater of the 2. Ephraim was also said to have the best of the birthright. Something interesting to see is that after the kingdom of Israel split the southern nation was called Judah (the jews) and the northern was called Israel and/or Ephraim. Hmm. this gets better and better...to be continued

I don't think there is a particular verse for the United States alone. I don't believe in what is called the end-time. Nobody knows when the Lord Jesus is coming again and He said that we be prepared always because like a thief who comes when nobody knows our Lord Jesus will come and so let's be prepared.

ok let's try this again. Yes, the US is not mentioned by name in the bible. But it is mentioned. The tribes of Israel were all told that they would be nations and that promise was forever as a covenant with Jacob and David. Ok so if that is the case then they are still nations today. Now the Israel you know in the middle east is not all of Israel. It is only 1/12 of all of Israel. So where are the other 11 nations. Easy they are still in the world as nations. So as to not loose this post I will post these post in order...To be continued
