Is the U.S.A. in Bible Prophecy?

[ajesuschrist_mathetes]

I thought that the article in the July 2004 "Signs of the Times" magazine was interesting-"Is America in BIBLE Prophecy?". I am posting a link to it.

[off and on i read this magazine-it is free for the taking from a newspaper-style box on the sidewalk here {Schenectady, New York}. For those not aware, it is a Seventh-Day Adventist publication. I am biased against the SDA [my problem] but find much excellent-seeming things in this publication]

Dear Sabrina:

When you say USA and eagle, are you referring to <Revelation 12:14>?

Rome also carried the insigma of a eagle and used it when they destroyed Jerusalem 70 AD.

I receieved this in an email a couple weeks ago...thought it was fitting for this topic...

... America is typically represented by an eagle, Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages.

The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)...

Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.  The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

(Note the verse number!!!!!)

I wish every one of voting age could read this.

Is anyone unaware that the Kuran comes either directly or indirectly from the devil? Therefore since that is so ["...the devil...a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it."<John 8:44>] nothing in it is of any worth. I say that because Belial is an epithet [my understanding] for the devil, and the meaning of Belial = "worthlessness; extreme desolation."

No, Islam is not a great monotheistic religion hijacked by extremists. It is an antichrist religion from a god of hate.

Brad your views are that of a Preterist. I do not beleive that all the prophesies of Revelation have already taken place. The prophesies of Christ's return and the time surrounding it began in Daniel and Isaiah. The scriptures directly corralate with those in the book of Revelation. Part of the explaination of the Eagle being the United States begins in the book of Daniel chapter Seven verse Four. But, read the entire chapter to understand in context.

Then, turn to Revelation 12:13 and read to 12:17. Here it is speaking of Jesus Christ's birth. The "woman" it speaks of is Israel and the child it speaks of is Jesus Christ. And obviously, the Dragon is Satan. You can go back to the beginning of the chapter for context reading. Here again we are referred to as the Eagle. The Eagle or the United States is who has sheltered and protected Israel politically all through history. We are the only thing standing between it and the World government taking complete sovereinty over Israel and giving the Palestinians the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem.

In verse 14 where it speaks of the Eagle nourishing the woman (Israel) "for time, times and half a time"...this means that the protection that the Eagle (or US) provides for Israel is not permanent...that there will come a time when Israel will be left to fend for it's own.

Verse 17 puts all this into persepective...it speaks of her "seed" so, that you can conclude that the scripture is encompassing today's Israeli's and Jews. Hope this helps!
