Where is the United States in Bible Prophecy?
Many people have claimed that the United States is not mentioned in the prophecies of the Bible. Actually the US was plainly foretold in the Holy Scriptures, 2,300 years before the Declaration of Independence. The US and modern nations are clearly mentioned in Bible prophecies that are being fulfilled right before our eyes. God, in his foreknowledge and wisdom, saw the nations that would exist at the time of His return. In His love, He gave Daniel a vision so that we might have understanding in these last days and prepare ourselves for His soon return!
The Endtime Nations
The Bible prophesies in many places that, immediately before the Kingdom of God is established, a world government will rule the earth for a very short period of time. In these prophecies we are given a detailed description of the last world power that shall reign over the peoples of the earth immediately before the return of Jesus Christ. The beasts of Daniel’s vision, found in Daniel chapter 7, bear an uncanny resemblance to nations in our modern world, including the United States. The beasts represent nations that will be in existence on earth when Jesus comes to establish His kingdom. If we can prove that these nations exist right now, then we can know that we live in the era of Jesus’ promised Second Coming!
Modern Nations Represented in the Bible
We can identify the kingdom of the ten horns that will be the last kingdom upon the face of the earth prior to the establishment of the Kingdom of God by Jesus Christ. We can identify the modern nations represented by the lion, the bear, the eagle, and the leopard in Daniel 7. The symbols used to depict modern nations in Daniel 7 are used one other time in scripture, but in a different way.
In Daniel 7, the four beasts depict four individual nations. In Revelation 13, the Apostle John saw a vision of one beast instead of four. The one beast was described as having the body of the leopard, the feet of the bear, the mouth of the lion, and the ten horns of the ten-horned beast. This conglomerate beast of Revelation 13 is depicting the endtime world government of the Antichrist. All of the beasts in Daniel 7 have now merged into this one unified beast…except for one. The eagle’s wings are not mentioned in the description of the world government beast! Could it be that the United States will be one of the dissenting forces against the Antichrist and his world government, a harbor of safety during the troubled times ahead?
America have turned her back on GOD. We have excepted everything our LORD hates. Homosexuality is a sin, abortion is a sin. If we would just humble ourselves, seek JESUS’ face and pray for HIS mercy, HE will heal our land. GOD has spared America for alot. Enough is enough. JESUS is showing us that hey, I’M coming real soon and your house must be in order. I pray for America that before it’s to late that we as a nation will turn back to GOD the very foundation this country was built on. I LOVE YOU LORD JESUS!
Everyone says the Whore of Babylon is the Catholic Church, but it makes more sense that it would be Islam. Especially since the main religion in the Mesopotamian area is what? Islam. The Catholics kept Christianity alive through the Dark Ages when there were no Baptists and Assembly of God to tell the story. And who claims to believe in the God of Abraham but suggests another man is more valuable than Christ? Islam. Not saying I’m right, but think about it a minute.
the whore of babylon is the roman church.
I want to learn the Bible especially the book of Revealation.Thank you
The USA is indeed revealed in the Book of Revelation…as Mystery Babylon. Our country, once a beacon of the Gospel Truth with a vast majority of God-fearing citizens, has become a harlot, a whore, an apostate nation of fornicators and degenerates. There will most certainly be many here saved from God’s wrath, but the nation itself will be destroyed. With eyes open to the truth, just look at the wretched condition of our government, our popular entertainment industry, and our educational system, and ask yourself, how else, other than God’s Holy Judgement, will this be level of corruption be eliminated?
Revelation and Jeremiah talk about a dominant end time power named “Mystery Babylon the Great” which stands in the way of evil but at the same time is so wicked itself that God judges her before the rest of the world. Sadly, there is no better plain literal fulfillment of Babylon than America today. Please read, study, and ask the Holy Spirit for understanding of Revelation chapters 17 & 18, and also Jeremiah 50.
May the blessing and peace of Christ our Lord be with you all.
I believe the debate about Mystery Babylon and America isn’t the issue, is putting the cart before the horse. We should ask ourselves what in Revelation, Jeremiah, and Isaiah fit the profile of America, first. Since God does not change, He is going to judge nations with the negative characteristics, those nations which fit a certain profile and suffer God’s complaints against them. I would, therefore, put forth this: if people can look at such as Revelation 18, or Jeremiah 50-51, and debate whether it’s America, in the first place, then we see a shoe that fits. This being the case, there is the danger, inevitability, really, of God’s judgement. You could say, if we look like that Babylon, we are that Babylon, just as that which looks, walks, and quacks like a duck is a duck. Or put it this way: can anybody argue, for this or that reason, the Babylon of the end times isn’t America, therefore God will allow America to carry all these traits He would harshly judge some other Babylon for, that He will give America a pass on the evil? As a matter of fact, would such a partisan attitude be right on the mark of pridefully saying, “For she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” It seems that people don’t want to see the Bible Babylon as America, more than any willingness to objectively look at scripture and put the pieces together, mystifying to me how it is we think things such as Hollywood and gay “marriage” are going to get a pass, because this is America? We just do whatever we want? The challenge would be to find in scripture where defiance of the Lord was or is ever going to be rewarded, proving we can be like Babylon and the Lord is, therefore, happy with everything going the truly heavy lift!
the explanation at the top, and these claims of prophecy, are as about as ridiculous as it comes
Other pple say that u.s.a in the bible is the second bearst in revelation that rises from the land and the first beast is the papacy(cant tell all the details now)
Our Heavenly Father knows all nations that have and will exist on this earth. His plan is for our eternal happiness. After the crucifixion of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the gospel went through an apostasy. Through His eternal grace He set a path for the restoration of His gospel which included the founding of a nation that would foster freedoms. The U.S. Constitution is an inspired document. The war on evil, begun in Heaven and continues on Earth. It will not end until every purpose of God has been fulfilled.
I am so glad for EndTimes.com! I first was taught about a post-trib rapture when I became a part of the Children of God in 1972. It seemed to make so much sense at the time I thought all Christians believed in it. So sad to find out that whereas the Church up to the 1800s believed in the post- trib, a spirit of error began to flood Christiandom until, it seems, hardly anybody believes the truth anymore. People will so hate being deceived when they wake up one day to see the Antichrist on his throne and them in his cross hairs!! People in Islamic countries are being beheaded and hung for Christ right now!! The US is doing little to avenge them. But though we will be on earth during the tribes, God will be having his angels blow Trumpets 1-6 showing His hot displeasure about man’s continued unashamed sinning. Then when we are summoned by Trump 7, the world will experience Vials 1-7-so glad we won’t be here for them!! This period of unparalled judgment is very short (some say they can prove by scripture it will be seventy five days)
Your article is of a favorable point of interest to my heart. I do believe that it is America who will be side-by-side with Israel. I believe America was created and formed as to be Israel’s shield in times of trouble. Lady Liberty is Israel’s protective older sister in my eyes. How it should be.~
You give a date and event when the things in Revelation happen. What will happen during the 7 years of tribulation if all these things have all ready happen.
We have a timeline that shows the events happening in the final 7 year period. If you would like a copy of that timeline please send an email to endtime@endtime.com. God bless.
this subject is so exciting would like to know more.
How can i find place this in the bible please help me ? I need to be save from this wicked world.

I will like to know more on this topic
ISAIAH 18 TALKS OF A NATION THAT GOD WILL USE TO BRING THE SPOILS TO YESHUA IN JERUSALEM . COULD IT BE THE USA ???
I think that would be Mexico. I know you are going to ask me to back that up by scripture. I can’t, nor can you actually back most of your so called prophecies up with scripture. To say that you have found proof of the U.S. in prophecy is just a guess and wishfull thinking. This is the kind of stuff that turns me off when it comes to religon. A question for any good pastor, Do I really have to believe this stuff to be saved?
And I saw another beast ( government system) rising out of the waters with 2 horns (democratic gov. house and senate) that looked like a lamb but spoke like a dragon. And he made all to by or sell with a mark in the hand or forehead. Those who didn’t were persecuted( sanctions to make people comply). Think about it. Sounds familiar doesn’t it.
If you look at Daniel 7;8 you see the little horn that of a lamb ( USA bible belt ) 3 horns Canada Mexico and USA gave up sovereignty the North American Union, The eyes like a man The all seeing human eye of the illuminati and the American money and the one who boasts great things ,OBAMA.
What would cause the enemies of Isreal to negotiate a peace agreement when in 2013 all parties involved will not sit at the negotiating table? The answer is a war in which Israel demolishes her enemies, Syria, Eygpt, and Lebenon(Hezbella) The antichrist’s peace treaty offers the arabs time to recover and offers Israel security and the temple site. The miltary defeat of the arabs explains the “secure cities” of Ezek 38:14-16
Yes its good to talk about some of these prophecies, but the most important issue to me is your preparation towards these events.
Are saved? Do you believe in the son of GOD JESUS THE CHRIST? Are you living right? Are you forgiven and blood washed? Are you filled with the Holy Ghost? God bless you beloved.
i heard you on Radio and anxious to know the scriptures about the U S
in the Bible and what it has to say about it.. and the end time.Which i believe it it fastly coming Jesus will return soon ,,,,god bless
Not sure if US is mentioned in prophecy, but I do believe it is tied to the one world government beast… I seldom hear people speak of what I’m about to… have you ever seen Washington DC from an aerial photograph? No? Try google earth. The whole thing is a big pentagram. Signature Masonic architecture, upside down with goat’s head pointing to White House … by the way, this is a satanic symbol… secret societies man… one world order… I believe the US is at the helm… most people dismiss this, as I once did, “oh another crazy conspiracy theorist”. … research…… This is disturbing
The saddest news is that in this article and comments there is no sense or speak of the Gospel. It’s all ‘oh no!’ Jesus said we woukd be persecuted, but when American Christians face hardship they turn to end times prophecy to bail us out…
I’m afraid that if we were out in Daniel or Joseph’s shoes we would fail abysmally. Instead of persevering we hope a prophecy will deliver us. Please brothers and sisters, go into the lion’s den, into the fire, and may the Lord be exalted and revealed.
I agree with your analysis. We have to see America in Bible prophesy. One major factor most people overlook when thinking U.S. is not technically a Middle East or European country, is that we are tied to all of the NATO nations by treaty. Turkey being one of them. So if any of our NATO allies are attacked and or are pulled into conflict, we also will be a party to the action. Turkey is poised to become very involved with the Syrian civil war. As Iran will then have Israel and the U.S. looking for an opportunity to take out their nuclear facilities. With a major NATO presence involved in Syrian/Lebanon conflict, that will be an opportune time hard to resist taking advantage of. Egypt is also on verge of civil war.
Verse 24 of Daniel chapter 7 talks about 10 kings, and later another king arising above the others, subdueing the other three…could dis king be Russia? cos from sources, it is stated that Russia is trying to rebuild to conquer europe and give backing to islam…
This little horn actually symbolizes the Antichrist. So I do not believe this can be speaking of Russia. Also it appears that Russia is already accounted for by the bear. God bless.
Anxious to know if United States is mentioned in the Bible.
A couple of years ago I heard a repeat message by Dr. James Kennedy. It was about Egypt and their sin. God proclaimed to Egypt that they would never have another Egyptian prince. To this very day they have not. Dr. Kennedy went on to explain that this would also apply to the United States that we would not have another American as President. Could this be true? Although Barack Obama presented a “birth certificate” from the State of Hawaii, it has not actually been proven that he was actually born in the United States. Furthermore, if you look at the list of potential presidential candidates for 2016, the list includes Sen. Marco Rubio who is Cuban-American. This is if the election is even held in 2016. Let me clarify. The Obama administration’s famous saying is, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” If you remember Obama signed the NDAA of 2010. Included in the NDAA is the part that states, in the event of a national crisis the president shall assume authoritative leadership. In other words the president shall become a dictator. You can be assured that the Obama administration is waiting in the wings for this crisis whether it be manufactured or actual. My question is where will this country end up? Will America be split into 2 different countries with one side being Socialist and supporting the New World Order and the other siding with Israel, will America cease to exist all together or will the entire country stay Socialist as it has now become and the entire country be part of the New World Order and turn its back on Israel? We can only hope and pray that this country repents as a whole and stand with Israel.
In fact, the US is the front runner for this whole new world order. Have you guys not seen the statements from our last 5 presidents. They have all made comments about the new world order on public tv.
I believe the feet of the statue of iron and clay can very well be the ties between the US and Europe since there are secret societies in both and the societies from both countries uniting can very well make sense. I have nothing to prove this but its very logical.
I wish your last statement of the US being a safe haven were true. I know its not though. I personally. Think its conceivable the we will be the nation that brings forth the anti christ. This nation is more like Sodom and Gomorrah than any other nation on earth and it wields the most powerful army. The fact that the US has over 600 concentration camps and Obama has ordered more to be built by FEMA does not look like we will be safe at all. Not to scare anyone. Just saying.
There l humbly DISAGREE with you, the Antichrist will rise out of one of the nations surrounding Israel and not from USA
No it is not a safe heaven! Do you not think hat God will bring punishment against the US that has been so blessed and still has turned away from God…
Where your own president says abortion is okay?
Wake up… Judgement is coming
What to do if I have a calling from god and I know what he call my purpose for and I think he revealed to me that I am the prostitute he spoke of in revelation.. just left church and through prayer I still feel this is my calling for our spiritual war.
The harlot in Revelation 17 is clearly depicted as a city. You or any other individual cannot be the harlot spoken of in Revelation 17. Conitnue seeking God for truth and stay in His word. God bless.
Why do you call it endtime? Isn’t there still another 1000 years after the tribulation?
When we say “endtime” we are not referring to the end of the world but rather the end of human government and the beginning of the kingdom of God upon this earth.
the body of the leopard: the swiftness of the antichrists take over and how his orders are carried out
the feet of the bear: when a bear plants his feet it doesnt back down to anyone or anything
the mouth of the lion: is his authority, he has absolute power of life and death , he also devours those who oppose him
ten horns of the ten horned beast: his dominion
i cant go with America is in the bible in the endtimes, esp when all the nations mentioned arein the middle east
John the Beloved wrote 4 Gosples: John the Gosple of, 1st , 2nd, 3rd, John and Revelation.
The depecting of the Gosples in art is imaginary, not based on actual scripture.
The Beast in Revelation without wings , the without wings I do not believe has any connection with America.
I dont believe America will even be a contender in the Trib due to its fall from influence power and grace.
I believe as a whole the America government will turn agaisnt Israel will a faithfull few in America will stand with it.
America cannot possible be the dissenting force against the Antichrist. In fact, due to America’s running away from anything Godly, denying it’s Christian heritage, and equally important, America’s embracing the slaughter of over 53 million unborn children and embracing sodomy in marriage, America is actually turning out to BE the spirit of the Antichrist. Look at how America is forcing its immoral and anti God fearing “liberty” (actually sin) unto other nations. America is the LARGEST exporter of sexual and lustful entertainment, abortion and sodomy upon other nations. America is in fact acting like the antichrist…
Lilij are you an American? I believe if you repeat negative stuff about the USA enough you and others will believe it. Yes it certainly bothers me that The people in the USA could do stpid immoral things but there are still great Christians in this country that will never fall for immorality. I prefer to believe in what the Bible tells us.If you cant show me in the scriptures of the KJ version of the bible. Im just saying Im not believing it.
It is true that we are backsliding as a nation. But there is always the possibility of America turning back towards God. God bless.
Wishful thinking. America is to far gone.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chron 7:14 “Nothing is impossible with God” Luke 1:37
While many refer to the two wings of a great eagle in Revelation 12:14 as being the United States, I point you to Exodus 19:4. “Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.” This was thousands of years before America existed. I sincerely hope and pray that the United States supports Israel at all costs and would be honored to be part of the great eagle in the Book of Revelation, but no one can say for certain this is the USA. Pray for our country and pray for Israel.
As a believer in the Lord Jesus, I am sad to say that I believe the USA will be tied to the one government beast.
Our country, through our government, has tried to rid itself of ties to the Almighty. The powers and principalities that rule (Luke 4:6) this earth are tied into the blackness in hearts of men throughout the world and USA.
May God save us
I have thought for some time the Eagle is America and also Lion cub is America
The association between the Four Evangelists and four living creatures seems to have been made first by St. Irenaeus of Lyons (c.120-202 AD), as part of an argument against heretics that there are only four gospels:
“It is not possible that the Gospels can be either more or fewer in number than they are. For, since there are four zones of the world in which we live, and four principal winds, while the… “pillar and ground” of the Church is the Gospel and the spirit of life; it is fitting that she should have four pillars, breathing out immortality on every side…. He who was manifested to men, has given us the Gospel under four aspects, but bound together by one Spirit….
For the cherubim, too, were four-faced, and their faces were images of the dispensation of the Son of God. The first living creature was like a lion, symbolizing His effectual working, His leadership, and royal power; the second was like a calf, signifying His sacrificial and sacerdotal order; but the third had, as it were, the face as of a man – an evident description of His advent as a human being; the fourth was like a flying eagle, pointing out the gift of the Spirit hovering with His wings over the Church. And therefore the Gospels are in accord with these things, among which Christ Jesus is seated. ” (Against Heresies, 3.11.8)
Mathew symbol is a man
Marks symbol is an eagle
Luke symbol is an ox
Johns symbol is a lion
Jerome’s interpretation is the one that stuck. For over 1,500 years, the Four Evangelists have been represented in art and theology as shown at the top of this article. nothing to do with america or england, but to do with the gospels.
What to See
The symbols of the Four Evangelists turn up frequently in Christian art and architecture. They appear in illuminated manuscripts of the Bible, stained glass windows, and sculptures on churches.
Sometimes the animal symbols are shown next to the corresponding saint writing his Gospel, but more frequently the animals appear without their human counterparts, usually as a group of four.
The symbols of the Four Evangelists are not often seen separately, but a notable exception is in Venice, where St. Mark is the patron saint of the city and the winged lion is ubiquitous in local art.
On medieval churches, the Four Evangelists are typically seen above west portals and in east apses, especially around the enthroned figure of Christ in Glory in scenes of the Last Judgment.
There is only one Gospel and that is man is reconciled to God by the precious blood of Christ, and all that believe in him shall have everlasting life. This is the new covenant written in the hearts and minds of men that have faith in Yehushua.
Paul tells us what the Gospel is in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. It is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God bless.
There was only one nation that the Mighty God proclaimed as his own and for his purpose and that was the old nation of Israel. The purpose was to show the plan of salvation and can be summed up with His promise to Abraham…”in your seed shall all the world be blessed”. The fruition of this plan is eloquently stated in John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
The Jews were rejected in 70AD when the Romans destroyed the temple, this was due to the Jews rejection of the Gospel and the crucifixion of the Saviour.
Daniel’s prophecies of the statue and the beasts related to the same kingdoms of which the last was Rome. Britain was a territory of Rome and thus expanded Romanism throughout the world with her massive Empire.
The United States is mentioned in the Bible as seen in the following verse:
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Revelation 13:11, 12, NKJV)
I write this not to contend with you but that you may see the truth. There is only one way by which we are saved and that is through Our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no nation on earth that will be safe for the Remnant of those who abide in Christ in the last days.
Peace be upon you
I beleive the scripture in rev. You are referring to actually means the first beast being the Anticrist and the second being the false profit or should I say “The Pope”. The false profit by his magic and words will draw in believers and convence them to worship the first beast!
Can you please show how America fits the description of this terrible beast with two horns and speaks like a dragon? You cannot. The Bible tells us in the rest of Chapter 13 that that beast is the false prophet that will be in alignment with the antichrist. We see in verse 12 that the antichrist allows the false prophet to exercise his power; then the false prophet continues on doing miracles and pulling fire down from Heaven. God bless.
Also check out the eagle in Rev. Chap. 12. a place of refuge for the rest of the womens offspring at the time Satan is cast out of heaven to the earth. Let me know what you think.
D bible in d book of daniel does specifically mentioned d last world power, which is made up of group of nations(united nation) and it represent d foot of d image which Nebuchadneza saw in his drm and 4rm Daniel interpretation it represent d last world power b4 d arrival of d messiah.
Of course the eagle’s wings are mentioned in the Bible, how can anyone argue with an excellent expert like Irving Baxter? This man is unreal, he is so extremely cool! I have learned so much from him, and he does not just rattle on and on, he has scripture to prove all that he says. It all makes sense now, God will spare America because of it’s many Christians, and besides, He Himself founded this great nation. He also founded Israel, which will also stand.
Quote – “The eagle’s wings are not mentioned in the description of the world government beast! Could it be that the United States will be one of the dissenting forces against the Antichrist and his world government, a harbor of safety during the troubled times ahead?”
No! The reason America isn’t mentioned in this One World Government is because America will be destroyed completely! All references to Babylon in Revelation clearly refer to America, Babylon will be destroyed to a cheering crowd of Angels in Heaven.
Also, the author of this article isn’t making ANY sense. How can America be one of the “dissenting voices” if there is a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT (meaning a government that controls ALL THE WORLDS NATIONS)???
I think the author of this article is somewhat confused. No doubt blinded by Patriotic fervor for a America!
All reference to Babylon are actually referring to the ”WHORE OF BABYLON” , which is the Catholic Church and her harlot daughters, which are also referring to the majority of the protestant churches as well. The USA is not the ”whore of Babylon….
It is written that during the “End time,” great blasphamies will be spoken. The evil that is being projected by the Vatican is horrific! I have heard that the Vatican is claiming to have the DNA of Christ, and also that the “Virgin” was abducted by ET and Jesus is the result! As a young Catholic I had always struggled with it’s [Catholicism] doctrines, and ran out of that filth not long after graduation from [catholic] high school. The Holy Spirit has shown me the “Truth,” and belive me, it’s not St. Blaise! When I need healing, or protection during my travels (i.e. St Christopher), I will petition Jesus….. and only Him! I will not be sad to see the destruction of the “Whore of Babylon,” [Catholic Church]. “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord, God almighty, who was and is, and is to come.”
Mystery Babylon refers to Rome. You can also look at St. Malichi’s “Prophesy of the Popes”, which also mentions the distruction of the city of seven hills, during the reign of Peter the Roman (the False Prophet).
There is no proof that America is mystery Babylon from Revelation 17. The Bible tells us that she is located on 7 hills and is a city. A city that is located, and known for having 7 hills, is Rome. The United States is not city. God bless.
Another prophecy, beleived by some to be a reference to the U.S. is found at Daniel 11:29-30. Dan 8-12 is a prophetic overview of world power and politics affecting Israel from about 444 BC until the end of the age with a two fold emphasis: (1) on the succession of power following the death of Alexander The Great (323 B.C.) and (2) the last 10.5 years of this age.
Seems to me, the one beast’s combination of characteristics is clearly representative of some future form of the EU, or the G-10. It fitted well with the WEU until the organizational structure of the EU recently changed. As regarding the US in end-of-age prophecy, seems to me a reference to the US may be found at Rev 12:14 in “two wings of a great eagle.” Seems to me, the “woman” is clearly sybolic Israel. The time is at the end of the 7-yr Covenant and just after the “Abomination of Desolation.” Chapter 12 being a recapitulation of Rev 4 thru 11 and a pre-amble to Rev 13 thru 19 with Chapter 12′s focus being on the nation Israel during the end-of-age. The three passages togeather representing three repetitions and enlargements of end-of-age events, each with a different focus or viewpoint.
What are all the scriptures that mention or indicate the US?
The prophecies concerning America are in Daniel 7.
the 10 horns are all listed by ancient names in the bible–these will be destroyed by god
If the United States is the Eagle, Great Britain the Lion, and Russia the Bear, how is Germany the Leopard. ET identifies the first three nations by their national symbols (Eagle, Lion, Bear). The last nation, ET uses a main battle tank -MBT Leopard -to relate prophesy, therefore there is a flaw it ETs interpretation, that is an inconsistency, one I would like to see explained. By the way, there is no eagle tank, lion tank, or bear tank.
In Daniel 2:33 it mentions in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream the statue with feet of iron and clay with ten toes, which of course is a reference to the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire (ten toes, ten nations). My point is, just as it was in the time of Charlemagne (the first Holy Roman Emperor) Germany was the political seat of the Holy Roman Empire. Now, with this in mind and the point made by the “tank”, Germany is the Leopard.
Where would you get “tanks” from in the bible? just because you don’t agree with someones inpertretation, doesn’t mean you or he is wrong. Just different points of view. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all tell the same story from different points of views. Stop trying to prove every one wrong and just put your faith and trust in the Lord and pray what you understand to be true. In the End, if you read and understand and believe, you can only be responsible for your soul and no one else.
leopard is greece, i think.
keep in mind that the eagle is removed from the second beast image, in revelation, so i think its clear that USA resists the Antichrist or withdraws from its agenda at some point, as does Jordan who also escapes from the beast. the bible also says the woman ,who represents Israel, is carried by eagle feathers so USA does stand by Israel and protects it from the beast
The U.S. is mentioned in scripture. The lion represents Great Britain. John wrote that the lion had wings and that these separated themselves from the its body. The wings may represent the United States which was founded by Great Britain and which separated themselves to become a nation. However, the U.S. is not referenced again in later prophecy. Some speculate this indicates the U.S. will be destroyed but I’m not so certain of this. First, prophecy doesn’t mention many other nations including Australia, Canada, Mexico and Central and South America. It is possible that we may become an isolationist nation. The U.S. like all nations is guilty of abuses and excesses but it is also one of the only nation which extends assistance to other nations. We have also been pivotal in mission works and spreading the Word. I believe we are currently experiencing judgment which is not synonymous with condemnation. I believe God in his immeasurable love is calling us as a nation to repentance.
Who is Gog of Magaog? Isn’t Gog a prince? Are not certain high ranking demonic entities referred to as Princes? The Prince of Persia and the Prince of Greece. Isn’t it possible that Gog is a demon or high ranking servant of Satan? Wasn’t Magog in the area of the Khazar kingdom? I am just postulating possible connections. The Khazars are running the world now, they and the Edomites, are they not? Are not most of the world’s Jews actually khazars, having never set foot either in the promised land or Egypt as slaves? Were they not being truthful when they said to Jesus,”We have never been slaves of any man.” In the war of Ezekiel 38 it is Gog and Magog who attacks “Israel”. This may not be the nation in the middle east currently with the same name. It may be the 10 tribes of Israel who are elsewhere in the world. Us. Isn’t Gog released again after the millenium, when Satan is released and attacks with the nations from the 4 corners of the Earth? How then could he be a mere man or worldly leader? I’m not sure about any of the currently held beliefs about who is who, I’m just wondering. It seems that much of what was written about the tribes and their captivity long ago also applies to the end times, to the same tribes, under different names and in different countries. They do not know who they are, but what was written about Israel then, applies also now, to Israel, not the strip of land in the middle east.
Gog and Magog is Russia. Persia is Iran/Iraq. Iran wants to attack ISRAEL!!! If they do, it will start WWWIII and bring Jesus and His saints here to do battle for the Promised Land and City of Jerusalem, the Holy City of God–and the Battle of Armageddon!!! Also, President Obama wants to divide Jerusalem and give the Eastern part to the Moslims. This will absolutely NOT WORK!!! GOD WILL NEVER ALLOW HIS HOLY CITY TO BE DIVIDED and given to the Ishmaelites. That land belongs to ABRAHAM promised to him BY GOD.
Magog historically refers to the Scythians, a group of nomadic tribes from the Russian stepps. Also of some interest the Great Wall of China, in Arabic is referred to as the “Wall of all Magog”. After doing a bit of reading on the subject, I also discovered that “Gog” refers to the king or leader of “Magog”. So, Gog in the leader (Russia) while Magog is the army referred in Ezekial 38 (Persia, Ethiopia, Lybia, Gomer and Togarmah). God Bless.
gog is egypt, magog is iran/syria and the other Islamic nations– except for Jordan
Gog and Magog is Russia. Also represented as the BEAR
Reading the portion of Modern Nations; you noted that America is not mentioned in the world government brought tears to my eyes because (before I even became a born again Christian) I felt America was put here to fight against evil. I know, to see the people, one would not believe that. Also, as I mentioned in a previous message that I believe certain passages leap out to speak to you personally (I know they all are; but this is in a different way) I do not recall exactally, but I felt this was for me (probably America) says, come into my chamber and close the door and hide yourself. I have always felt we are going to be protected in a spiritual way; maybe not the way I have always though; but I have not been afraid of any end time
Thank you for sharing with others. The true God never leaves us and always protects us. You are very good in your statement of “no fear.” For us to fear our enemy (satin, anti-christ) is a statement of no faith in the messiah of the gospel, Jesus Christ. Does not your BEST friend stand by your side, no matter what? Jesus died and rose from the dead for us. This can get no better!
USA-Great Britian-Australia-New Zealand and other nations are part in my belief the house of Israel. Ephriam and Mannaseh were blessed and handed the birthright-one to become a great company of nations (most powerful seen in the world) and Mannaseh to become the greatest single nation in the world. Doesn’t this fit? No other nation(s) fit this description. If this is the truth, the USA is part of the House of Israel, and we will suffer God’s punishment in the last days. Others have put this forward, I see no other explanation.
Why on earth does everyone believe that the USA is Mannaseh and Ephriam. there are no scriptures to bear testimony to this. Manneaseh and Ephriam are the 10 lost tribes of Israel who are scattered ALL OVER THE WORLD and only YHVH know exactly who are HIS people. There are millions of Jewish people from these 2 tribes who are scattered ALL OVER the world not just in the USA, YHVH clearly tells us that HE will gather HIS people from ALL THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD, and many live in Africa as well especially South Africa and hundreds of Orthodox Jewish families HAVE already left SA and have gone home to Israel and there are many non orthodox Messianic Jews still living in SA and other parts of Southern Africa, including Zambia, Zimbabwe and suchlike, and we also are part of the LION and her cubs, whom YHVH will protect. USA is not part of the Lion and her cubs but Canada is.
l have friends who are Jews and can trace their ”lineage” way back and they live in Indonesia, some are in Coatia, Serbia and many other nations not just in the USA
Good Stuff..
Man this is good stuff. Hopefully these lessons will sell, just like when 3.2 million copies of ’88 Reasons The Rapture Will Be in 1988′ were printed and distributed to about 200,000 pastors. Or, I’ll just trust that ‘only the Father knows’, and continue to love people without agenda, without striking fear into them that the world will soon end, and instead believing for a victorious church, that Jesus will come to be with his beautiful, victorious bride (the church), not to come and rescue all the lowly, suffering Christians at the end of days. Love me and love others, that’s His only command, not worry about the end of the world. God is victorious, that’s his character. Why would Jesus instruct us to preach the Gospel to all the nations, if we’re only going to fail so that He’ll have to come rescue us in the end? Matt 24:36 is pretty simple.
@Kellen….There are 35 verses prior to Matthew 24:36 all describing events that will take place leading up to Jesus’ second coming. “of that day and hour no one knows” tells me that we won’t know specifically when, but all the Scriptures prior to verse 36 are there for a reason, so that we will know the general time frame for some reason or another. So my question to you is, if it is just that simple that “no one knows only the Father” why are there any prophecies in the Bible at all???
I personally do not see anything that says we will be taken off the earth for seven, three and a half, etc. I have read we will meet the Lord in the air and forever be with the Lord. If we meet him in the air and He comes to rule the earth…and we go off someplace else….(rapture) we would not be forever with the Lord
That’s how I read it. We are going to be with Jesus. Jesus is coming back here for a thousand years. Will some be disappointed?
You’ve said it all very well, bless you
Do what u need to read a little better sweaty i do not agree
It’s easier to understand that these are just YOUR thoughts and not facts nor the true meaning of this prophecy because no government in the world have advanced the course and agenda of one world Government than the US GOVT look around you the US have fought in almost all wars in the last 2decades either directly or in d guise of aid via UN.
I think the USA might be the Great Eagle that carries the woman who bore the male child, to safety.
The eagle or the wings of the eagle that protect the woman and child, Rev 12 and especially Rev 12: 14 is not USA but YHVH’s almighty power, which leads Israel into the wilderness and protects. Throughout scripture Old Testament, when the wings of the eagle is mentioned it it the power and strength of YHVH not a country or nation, if you cross reference ALL the scriptures with concordances, you will be able to see this
There is to b a northamerican union the european union,and some other formed unions who will all form together as one. Or use one currency one orld universal banking system in ur chip.can be turned off on a dime. Take the mark of th beast and have no live an paradise and no crying pain, or hurt in heaven new bod with wings,our bodies but hn we looked our best.our prime, v hell with satan like here on earth mass murder rape ,torture, death,no eternal bliss, feeling so good that u never felt before. Lots of screaming and crying an fighting in hell. Hot and firey.
A government or kingdom is represented by a beast. The bear is Gog and Magog, ( Russia and its alies) The leopard, is Perssia(Iran). Perssia has a history of aliance with Asyria(modern Germany). And the lion is actualy Juda(modern Israel) I don’t doubt that there are some Isaelites in the modern state of Israel, but it is mostly made up by the tribes of Juda, Livy and Benjamin. The wings of the eagle do represent the the aliance of the US to the modern state of Israel, an aliance that will be broken.The horned beast is the last world gobernment,or the last revival of the Holy Roman Ampire.
Jim,
If we read through the passages that Irving refers to we can find at least four nations that may be represented by the beasts mentioned. We have a tendency to adopt the beasts of Daniel to modern day nations that are of a major manner. However, there are also smaller nations that use the same type of beasts as national symbols. Will this lend itself to a creation of the ten nations that make up the final beast, or the final conglomeration of nations as described by the ten horns? These two passages concerning beasts are quite interesting and deserve to be studied. Good luck to you my friend.
Is their confusion between the original name of the USA and today in prophecy. The original name being “NEW JERUSALEM”. Which is why I think the USA was the second part of Hitlers plan and why Islam calls the USA The Great Satan. Are their any prophecies referencing “New Jerusalem”? Whether it be in the approved HOLY BIBLE, the unaccepted books of the BIBLE and in Bible code?
Thank you sir, John
the song America the beautiful got its melody from a song origonally titled oh mother dear Jerusalem. interesting how these things are adding up.
John;
God gave me a dream about 10 years ago that the USA was the “New Jerusalem” I shared it with my fellow church goers at that time, they ALL called me crazy and would not listen to me. Now I can barely remember the prophetic dream, I am glad to know that I was NOT crazy then and that the church that I was going to at the time was wrong. Please pray that the LORD will give me the dream again.
THE COMMON EXPLANATION IS “FEET OF CLAY” FOR THE IMAGE IN NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S DREAM AS INTERPRETED BY DANIEL. ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD WITH THE US AND BRITAIN AS THE FEET -CLAY MIXED WITH IRON. MEANING STRONG BUT OF MIXED ORIGIN. AS THE MANDATE HAS PASSED FROM ISRAEL TO BRITAIN. WE -WILL BE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE TRIBULATIONS OF THE LAST DAYS!!!
Related to general patton?
There is a possibility that the US might been made insignificant in the world by war or natural disasters. The US is an extension of Rome by culture and heritage; this might also be the case. I can’t imagine the outcome until it happens.
If you wanted to see the US in bible prophesy I suggest looking at the prophesies of Daniel 8 and 11. There’s a problem here you need to consider. In these prophesies Daniel states these prophesies happen in the last days. The time of the end. ETC. But the problem is what is the meaning of that term? If you go back to the earliest mention of it in Genesis 49-1 and read Genesis 48 and 49 it turns out this is the meaning. When Israel has become a multitude of nations.
It would appear that Daniel 8 and 11 are prophesies of the future. Not the past. And may already be running.
I have 4 books on my shelf that mention the ‘eagle’… I guess they are all foretold by their writers… this is a bit of a stretch, peeps… get real.
I would like to join the lesson. Thank you.
This past election proved that America has turned there head against God. May God have mercy on us
“Could it be that the United States will be one of the dissenting forces against the Antichrist and his world government, a harbor of safety during the troubled times ahead?”
Or could it be the US will no longer exist??
I don’t agree with this, because the US has been instrumental in the establishment of the platform to bring about the one world government and thus the antichrist as ruler of the nations. I do not believe that it will be a “harbor of safety”, in fact we can already see in which direction the government is heading by calling Christians “haters”. The United States is becoming more and more a land of persecution.
It is with deep sadness that I say this, because I love the United States.
I agree after toiling over scripture for some time. Always been taught that America is not in scripture, but think that would suggest some level of historical amnesia considering our influence in the world. Is it not more likely that we are mentioned but could not have conceived who we are portrayed as until more recently? Besides the eagle torn from the lion the scripture that hits me the hardest is the Queen/Lady (Isa 47:5-8 Rev 17:18). What other hindermost/youngest, most powerful nation is depicted as a lady (statue of liberty). More likely that we are that nation that starts under God’s heritage and blessing and ends in rebellion against God and abandonment of Israel (Daughter of Babylon). The more I read, the more I watch the news, the more convinced and mournful I am.
I have enjoyed Bro. Baxters teaching for years. His message of Gods love for his people through prophecy and exactly what the word says is great. Keep preaching and teaching the truth. Many have came to know Jesus through this ministery.
I believe we are in the last days. I have read the bible many times over the years and I feel like I’m reading it for the first time. The last days did not leap out at me, like it does now. The more I learn, the more I need to know.
If you look at this thing with verichip. I cant believe the our government isnt somehow involved with the pending revealing of the antichrist.
You’re not alone cus every where one turns you see the signs… The real ID act, gay marriage, gay clerics, chrislam etc all in D US and its being exported to d four ends of the globe! Hollywood have got enuf crdt for lascheviousness
I dont know why, but i have this overwhelming feeling that president obama is the anti christ. I have since he was elected as our president.I dont know that i believe that the united states is going to be any kind of safe haven for anyone.
Darila, when he first came on the scene for presidency I thought, give him a chanche (I am not sure it is spelled correctly) but when he said (in a speech in another country )I am not a citizen of the united states I am a citizen of the world….he lost me, and right then I thought, “if he is elected after that comment, God has set him here to be the beginning for the ant christ. Then I thought, if he gets elected again I will KNOW he has been put in this place by God as part of the end time. I think he wants us to be socialist and Islam. I recently saw something I thought was interesting; that the United Nations (I believe came into being under a different name, when I was a child) is going to be the beast that will not allow anyone to buy or sell less they have that mark. The pope seems to be able to go where he pleases and many worship him as God on earth; it was suggest he was the false prophet. Now, catholic people do not hate me
Looking forward to learning more.
I pray with all my heart the United states will stand against the AntichristI saw this minister last night on T. V.he really made lot of since.
youare one of my faviouret bible teacher and i would to have the cd
I often arrive home at a time when I can only see the last part of your most revealing explanation of God’s
prophetic scriptures. How may I find a way to see the program that has just aired
Hi Jean!
We sell them in several different formats here – http://www.endtime.com/shop/. Also, our show re-airs several times throughout the week. Se our airing schedule here – http://www.endtime.com/tv/.
Here is a lesson we stream for free – http://www.endtime.com/understanding-the-endtime/
I think the US will return to it’s biblical roots, and fight the world government. For those of you who don’t know George Washington was a praying man, and had a vision from an angle. Here it is http://www.propheticroundtable.org/vision_of_george_washington.htm
Hey can someone explain to me who is the leopard in revelation i hear rumours that its Barack Obama please inform me ASAP!!! thanks you guys are the best
Much appreciated
The leopard represents Germany. If you would like more information on this please send an email to endtime@endtime.com. God bless.
Are you sure it is not Greece. Isn’t Germany known as Gomer in scriptures.
I do not believe that this is the case because Greece is depicted as the he goat in Daniel 8.
Thank you this leopard creature and its symbolism in modern endtimes was driving me crazy!!
I knew about the bear,eagle,and lion,but the leopard drove me crazy,by not knowing what country it represented.
Excellent revelation knowledge Rev. Baxter. Your insight is directly from the throne of God.
GOD gives us the sign and wonders that soon he will come back..
God’s ancient people were blessed when they followed his word. When they forgot God and worshiped idols, God allowed wicked kings to rule. Is this the experience of America today? We read that God can move the hearts of kings so we pray that our national leaders will be stopped in trying to continue to legalize sin. We pray that spiritual wickedness in high places might be restrained that we might live a quiet and peaceable life.
This is going to be off the wall to some of you, but in the 40′s we learned there were (I believe) four families that owned all the money, wealth and clought. I am not saying this is in the Bible, but they run everything; they own the mint (not our government….they buy the new money) they set the interest rates, etc. Our government is only another pawn; althought I think it is evil
Hey this is exactly what Rabbi John Cahn was talking about in his new book the Harbinger you should check it out
Also read “End of America” for more insight.
I’m reading the Harbinger right now. The revelation in this book is unbelievable. Modern times events, corresponding with ancient events of Israel. No way this stuff can be “coincidence”!
may the lords best be with us all amen
well i disliked the USA but then i could tolerate it with ease now i cant stand it i think we should take everbody out of are political branches and start fresh with christian pea-pole and i mean true christian peapoel to restore this nation to its formal glory but that is just a fantasy oh well.
lord may your mercy reign supream but i must say meakness is not weakness your mercy fule but you are also just
i mispelled people mybad
may God greate us his mercy and grace to be in his heavenly place with JESUS.

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Here’s where the US is found, we will stand behind Israel. In the Islamic Nations the USA and Israel is look upon as Big and Little Satan. They want to wipe Israel off the map and overtake the USA. I don’t believe we will ever turn against Israel.
we the people of the u.s. will not want harm to come upon Isreal, but the goverment of the u.s. will. Just as in many other countrys, such as Iran, North Korea Europe etc. the people dont want war. However the goverments of these nations do. For they are ruled by principalites and powers.They listen to the powers of darkness..
do you have the scripture where this is found I want to study it please.
Revelation 12
i think that it is a very grave possibility that the U.S is in the bible. But than agian i also think that the U.S is not in the bible as well. we are blessed for now but we just rescently broke the ties that the U.S had with Isreal. The bible states that any nation that is not in alliance with jerusalem and Isreal will not be blessed. dont quote me word for word on that one. but it is somwhere along those lines. So we might not be blessed enough to even be in the bible at all.
I believe the United States comes to the aid of Israel because the anti christ won’t be able to claim all
of the world as his own.
The U.S.A. will stand beside Israel,I don’t know if o’bama wants this but someone in power will give
consent to help Israel in military might.
We are blessed because of one thing,God is making the jews jelouse so they will come back to him,and they will at that right time they will call out to the Lord and he shell come to there aid,
Has the United States recently helped fulfill Bible Prophesy? The Bible says that in the end times, Israel will stand alone against her enemies. We consider ourselves allies of Israel. How can we not be included in the struggle and stand with them if we are their ally?
Recently Pres. Obama informed Israel that we do not have their back. The United States will not support Israel in its’ struggle with Iran and its nuclear push. He has let both countries know. Now, Israel truly does stand alone! The stage is set. God have mercy on those who forsake his chosen people. They are us.
As we hope and pray ernestly that the ANCIENT OF DAYS would reveal and lead all who seek the truth along the right path, we also pray jerusalem’s peace. Good lead Your pple away from every deception during this emdtime. Amen
Right now USA has the 5th flet out here ready,Israel will stand alone when they are up in the hills,That is where God helped Israel last time and that is where God will help again. look at the history of Israel.
He also stated that if we would turn….He will heal our nation and be our God! This is where we really have to get on bended knees and pray for forgiveness through Jesus Christ our Lord’s name!
USA will not bend to it’s knees,why that would make Gods word a lie. So all things must to it course and play out the play to the End,so God’s word will be true and standing firm on sold Rock.
You don’t feel that we’re at the point of no return (United States).
What the bible is saying we are at that point of no return,Jesus is coming for his people,and to show his wrath on others.
or on us for abandoning Israel
THis is the first time I have heard or realized that the USA could be included in the latter days. Thank you for the insight.
This still did not say what beast the U.S. is
The eagle
chris the lion is england and the wings are the u.s. since we came from england that is why the lion has wings later on it also talks about the wings being clipped from the lion and the bear is russia and the ten horn beast is the one world governtment havent figured out the lepoard yet hope this was helpful
the lepoard represents germany. the four heads represents four kinkdoms. the first was a war prior to world war 1. cant remember the name of that battel. the second lepord is the 1st world war.the third lepoard was the 2nd world war. each lepoard represents the rise and fall of germany. the final head of the leapoard has a mortal wound representing the fall of germany after world war two. however it was revived whene the berlin wall cam down.seperating west germany from east germany. Germany was then revived and today it stands strong and is a strong influence in the united nations. (soon to be better known as the One World Goverment.
I believe Rev. Baxter identifies the leopard as Germany.
This is simply a description about what the DVD covers. We believe that the eagle’s wings represent the United States. If you would like more information about this please feel free to email me at avandagriff@endtime.com or I would suggest purchasing the DVD for a very detailed and understandable study.
I like one of the comments below..it doesn’t matter what is for or against the beast….question is who are u for?what is your relationship with Christ and if Jesus were to come today,where will u be heading? Because the truth is the nations won’t help you…only u can make this decision….let us be mindful of these things.God bless u all..
Which one of the beasts represents italy
We do not find a beast in Bible prophecy that seems to represent Italy.
I have been following you on daystar we have cable. Love your programs and how you give the symbols and their meanings. It is important to know what is happening in our world. Most of all get your heart right with God. A B C Live like today is the day he is coming to take us Home..
I love your program , you open my eye and my hard to the lord thank you and God bless you
I just saw a YouTube video today that said the Lion=Britian Eagle Wings=USA Bear=Russia
This guy believes Russia will Nuke USA very soon and then feast for awhile. He tied it in with Revelation.
Anyone who knows their Bible realizes it’s all taking shape in Middle East for many muslim countries to join together with Russia in attacking Israel.
I still find it hard to believe that I’m in the last generation before Jesus returns.
Been in Russia many times. Russia has been assiting Iran for years, not just in battle.
Don’t you worry my brother you are not the only one. My heart become so heavy everytime I think about God’s judgment and I feel like crying for my soul because I know I did bad things,I made lots of mistakes in my life. I gotta be saved brother and I’m ready to make the sacrifices it will takes. Ain’t noway i will go to hell. That;s not gonna happen. I’M PRAYING, FASTING and ask God for forgiveness.
We all have made plenty of mistakes and sinned. No one except Jesus has been sinless. No such thing! No man could be good enough to go to heaven…if that was the case then Jesus would have not had to die for us but he did it according to his fathers plan for us, because of his graet love for us, including you. Yes we sin, but when you are born again, he does not call us sinner, he calls us son. Do not look at God as a human like our sinful fathers/mothers. Many people struggle with Gods love for them because they see God like their parents were to them. NO,NO,NO, they were not perfect parents but he is the only perfect parent. If our parents were absent we see God as absent..if our parents are harsh or critical we see God as harsh and critical.He is none of the above…he is the best and he alone is more than enough.
Gerson….God chose you..he loved you before you were born…from the foundation of the world. It is his love and goodness that saves man. When you ask Jesus to come into your heart and take over your life (with repentance ) you will be saved. That is his concrete promise. He gave us his word on that. Start studing the book of John nightly and then other Gospels. God does not play games with our salvation. He is not a trickster or a man who says one thing and does another. He is our Blessing and our Reward. Blessings to you!
My goodness we really are the last generation but we have to say something to the people who dont believe and save them im scared of hell ive made so many mistakes but as you said now is the time to get right with God before its too late
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
America will one day cease supporting Israel as implied by the duration. If Obama is re-elected I suppose America’s support toward Israel could be at an end. If not then another at some future point will finish what Obama started.
The question of which country is for or against the beast is interesting from a Scholarly perspective; however, it is otherwise a moot point. The real question that we need to asking ourselves is this: Have I submitted to the lordship of Jesus. If the answer is “yes”, then it doesn’t matter whch country is for or against the beast. If the answer is “no” it still doesn’t matter.
Those who are saved will be in Heaven with Jesus regardless of which country they came from while here on Earth.
Amen!!! and Amen!!!
Amen!
Hi,
i have tried to tell people about daniel 7,and 8 was incorrect,they believe that greece is the leopard not the goat, but was told “this is the quote” i got back in detail…
How can this possibly be incorrect when the angel at the end of this chapter confirms the vision to Daniel exactly as had been done previosuly during the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign in the interpretation of the statue vision given by Daniel (of the four kingdoms which made up the statue from head to toe of 1-gold, 2-silver, 3-bronze and 4-iron)? Does Daniel 2:38 not inform us in plain text that Babylon is the first of the four? Don’t be ridiculous.You declare to us that this teaching is in error, that God in His Sovereignty can only use ONE metaphor for each of the world kingdoms???
What nonsense this is for a mere human being to declare regarding the words used by the Sovereign and Eternal God???
How can i counter this??with scriptures?
How many ways does God describe Israel metaphorically throughout His Word? Have you counted them all yet?
And what about Jerusalem? How many metaphors has God used to describe Jerusalem throughout His Word? Have you counted them all yet?
In Daniel 7 Daniel did not understand and was in fact “troubled.” If these were the same beasts which he’d already interpreted with certainty in Chapter 2, why would he not understand and recognize them? Not to mention the last beast, which was not mentioned in Chapter 2.
The head of gold has to be Babylon in chapter 2, BUT there is nothing in chapter 7 that pins down the 1st beast as being Babylon. Though that is the traditional believe among dispensationalist like myself.
So I personally am very open to the idea that chapter 7 is starting in the future with England then USA then Russia though I’m not sure who the Leopard will be.
During the first go round when/about Daniel seeing four kingdoms…Bible scholars have always taught that the Leopard was Greece…do you remember Alexander the Great…the Greecian…Bible scholars teach that there is a 2 cycle time on these nations. Even the Jewish scholars teach about these nations and that there will again be a revising in the last days. Alexander the Great and his armies conquered the known world after Daniels vision. He was a
type of anti-christ. Vicious!
This message is on the right path, but everyone would do well to look a little closer at the 2nd beast in Rev 13. Comes up out of the earth (uninhabited land), has horns (with no CROWNS or KING like the other beasts) of a lamb (obvious Christ-like, pure beginning) but then speaks AS A DRAGON.
Could this be a muslim nation?
Thats the false Prophet my friend
my friends want to know where will mexico be in the end? I believe they will be with the beast. what do you say?
Zec_12:3 And it shall come to pass in that day that I will make Jerusalem a trodden stone to all the nations: every one that tramples on it shall utterly mock at it, and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
Last time i checked all means all and there are zero exceptions in this passage. Mexico if it is still known by that name will be there “AGAINST” Jerusalem right alongside EVERY nation (that would include the entire roster of the U.N.)
The mexican nation on a whole consists of Catholics which is infiltrated with Augustine’s worshiping of the sun, moon, idols, etc…I forget the correct name for this worship.
Pagan Worship! (Had to think awhile on this one)
Biblically we do not find any clear references to Mexico and as a result we cannot be too sure where Mexico will end up. All we can do at this point is speculate.
Since the United State Government is so intent on letting so many from Mexico in legal and or illegal We are becoming Mexico….just saying.
All of this is quite scary and we have kept our heads in the sand so long and now
that things are happening and rapidly who really can know what we will face
I can tell you one thing, this administration has to go and I pray God will
find favor to sweep over the hearts of people and wake them up. If not we
will be headed for some very harsh and trying times. But, having Jesus return
now would not be too soon for me. This world has little to offer.
In reply to your comment:
Your are right; this world as we know it has little to offer to us. But on the contrary, we have everything to offer to it. We have the Gospel of Jesus Christ… the good news of salvation and eternal life!
A friend of mine once said, “EVERYONE should be doing something for the Lord. If you are not willing to get on the front lines, you can at least carry the bullets.”
Maybe we should not be so worried about ourselves in this, and more concerned for those who are lost and have no hope. Sure, we are going to have to endure intense evil as we have never known it before for a short time (unless your time is up before that), and we need to buck up and put on our armor and go to war. That is our responsibility, the endurance and patience of the saints. Let’s preach the Gospel to every creature as we are told, and let God take care of the rest.
All of this should not be scary because Jesus will return soon and we rejoice. A lot of people think the book of Revelation is scary…it isn’t…it’s a book of hope for belivers. God says he will have our backs and protect us. He keeps His Word.
this is the only way which the devil will succeed. so, the last day events must take place.
True. Satan knows he has little time left and he’s trying to gather as many as he can to his cause. Look at some of the generation today; it appears they are…one of “entitlement”…thinking they are owed and yet they don’t realize that their senses are being bombarded with loud noise, obscene music, movies, hate songs, reading history that has been altered and made to be un true. Commercials that promote deceit and lies. Society authenticating that it’s okay to have same sex marriages, lewdness in public, indiscreat clothing. It appears this country has become worse than Sodom and Gamhora. The Christians are afraid to hold each other accountable and have lapsed into spiritual complacency fostering perverse grace. This generation is playing with the dead and are of this world. Sadly, they are comfortable living this way until God’s wrath comes upon them. God have mercy on us. Please exuse the spelling. I type to fast and type phonetically sometimes.
i type just as fast this stuff is interesting
Like Rev. Billy Graham once stated ” If God does not take action against(or judgement) America
soon,He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology”.
Billy Graham in San Fransico.
Yet this man turns out to be just as infallible as the rest of us. Mr. Graham decided he would try to manipulate God’s outcome on this last election. God knows everything before hand & He knows what will happen to the US. Billy decided to remove Mormons from the list of cults just to get Christians to accept Romney. Now,I did not vote for Obama & I think Graham has been a wonderful preacher. The problem is we humans always seem to want control over everything! Look back on Saul for 1 of many examples,he wasn’t supposed to be king as God said let me be your King. Nope,not good enough said the people. So they got a feeble minded,unfaithful king instead!
We Americans & others who don’t want it to be so….can’t possibly see America go down. I could be wrong but my heart agrees with Graham about apologizing to sodom & gamorrah.(better known to me as sodomy & gonarea)no idea how to spell! The Bible states that the time of the gentiles to only last for a while. The woman & the beast in Rev 17 speaks of a great prostitute & her punishment,the kings took part in her ways & drunk her wine & became drunk with her sins. It then speaks of the beast who used to exist,does not now & will come again. 7 heads are 7hills that the woman sits on they are ALSO 7 KINGS. 5 fall 1 is ruling & the other still has not come. The beast who used to exist,now doesn’t is the 8th king. He belongs to the other 7 & the Bible says he will be destroyed. All of this is in Rev 17. “you saw the waters the prostitute sits on,they stand for all the nations of the world,no matter race or language. The 10 horned beast will hate this prostitute,they will DESTROY her & LEAVE her NAKED. They will eat her flesh & burn her with fire. God has put it their hearts to Arthur out this purpose,so they agreed to give the beast their power to rule. They will give him that power untils God’s Word comes true. The woman you saw stands for that great city that rules over the kings of the earth. -Revelations 17
So here we are,the greatest nation ever. The gentiles were allowed to have it for a time & then that time was up,so here we begin down this path of destruction. Like it or not its coming. Our birthing pains are increasing at an alarming rate daily! The world calls it global warming & scared Christians are saying well,were being just disciplined. No no,God says as were in the days of Noe & Lot so it shall be in the day of the Son of Man. We were eating & drinking,marrying & giving in marriage,sin sin sinning away until SURPRISE! Jesus is here!
Jesus told US that those of US Christians who stand firm to the end will be saved. We will live through the hard times as did Jesus himself & the prophets before him. God did not spare them,why would He take us away just because?
We are to continue fitting for the Truth even if it means death & NEVER deny the Sovereign Name of Jesus!
