Bible Prophecy Master Class, Part 1

A Study of the Book of the Revelation, Chapter 18

The United States of America in Bible Prophecy

The world around us is in a rapid, unstoppable transition. It has been, since the industrial revolution, the early 1900s or the early 20th century and the days leading up to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At no time in the history of mankind has the world been more biblical than these awesome yet terrifying times in which we live. With Russia in Ukraine, illustrative of how readily they could or will lead the charge into Israel per Ezekiel the prophet, with a much stronger, nuclear armed China making overtures about the potential for invading Taiwan and simultaneously threatening the downfall of the world’s only superpower, coupled with growing worldwide disenchantment with that power’s “hegemony”, with her gluttonous existence now very much financed literally by loans on top of international loans that all know she cannot and will therefore never repay (even at a rate of millions of dollars per hour, it would take as long as 3750 years to pay off only the principle!), etc., the world has never been more primed for the kind of deadly, catastrophic engagement as that outlined by the Bible’s Old Testament prophets and its New Testament apostles. Daily, anxious eyes and trembling ears feed inquiring, informed and therefore troubled minds that question how this will all end. All know that the potential for appeasement and the easing of tensions is minimal at best. Bible students, particularly students of Bible prophecy, on the other hand, know that the will and plan of God, completely overshadows and therefore voids any possibility of a manmade solution to the problems that plague us. Thus, in full accord with Bible prophecy, not only does the nation of Israel exist, the nations at large harbor the requisite animus that drives a deep-seated loathing and an ever-increasing thirst for Jew blood. Accordingly, God promises that at some point, He will drop the gauntlet and they will go for it like hogs running to slop. Before the way can be cleared for them to act upon that craving, however, one major obstacle to the satisfaction of that literal bloodlust must be removed. Without question, the world’s increasing dissatisfaction with the most powerful military force to ever grace the sands of time, their longing to see her arrogant “hegemonic hold” in terms of sway and influence on the global stage destroyed, their rush to jettison her currency which is “fiat”, their awareness of the never-ending need to shield themselves against the very real probability that she may someday seek to force-feed or satisfy her ravenous appetites at their expense, etc., points the finger of accusation in terms of the “who” of that entity at one and only one entity!
