Biblefreak... I didn't say America wouldn't feel wrath against sin. What I said is that America is not found as a principal player in the End-Times scenario. Not only are we not found in the end times scenario, we don't WANT to be found there. The countries that are named are either completely decimated by judgement, completely taken over by the antichrist, or its Israel. There are no other options. If we are just part of that general "whole world" group, then we will be much more likely to not be completely wiped out.

Hey All & Hi,,
I must admit,, like Sinner Saint i also struggled with the idea that America could play a role in the end time prophecies before Jesus is seen in the clouds. However i am not from there and do see your countries actions not as a citizen,, but as an observer.
I see a nation that stood up in the last century and became tha nation that led the western world through its Culture, Politics, Wars, Wealth,Science and Media. The United States has achieved some amazing things throughout her history and much of it you should be proud about. Like Liberty holding her torch high, America also has been like a beacon of light to show how a nation can be free and democratic and achieve great things.
So for an idea that America could be anything other than this beacon spreading Liberty throughout the world is hard to digest,, even harder no doubt being a citizen.
So ask yourself these few questions?
Is America still a beacon of sorts for other nations? & do other nations see America as such?
If America has been top gun since WWII in military might and power which it prides itself on, why would it suddenly not be in the picture during the end times?
What makes America immune from being one of the 10 horns of the beast out of the sea in Revelation 13?
Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,'says the LORD of hosts.
Capture the Dream,
yours In Christ,,
God Bless

Hey All & Hi Sinner Saint,,
quote:
However, I had to ask where I was putting MY trust.
Bingo!! Thats exactly it,, who are you puting your trust in more, your Country/Government/President or Jesus the Christ. If your government does one thing and a teaching from Jesus tells us another,, which do you follow and place your trust in. Where does the line between patriot stop and being a brother and sister in Christ begin.

America is very much Roman. I expect her to be part and parcel with the fourth terrible beast.
Expect Washington DC has its builds designed on those from Greece, with an Egyptian Obelisk thrown in as an extra, no extra charge,, not even One dollar!! 
Capture the Dream,
yours In Christ,,
God Bless

On a seprate note of sorts. I saw a great news story that said with the U.S. is a state of flux (to say the least!) that China & Russia are now HUGE threats to the U.S. If they were to join togather with a fully armed Iran there wouldn't be much left of this country. The fact that all 3 countires are talking (Iran, Russia, & China) makes the hair on the back of my neck stand at attention.

Yes it kind a gets to me when we have people who will say that the founding fathers of USA where Christians. When 99% of then were free mason. That's got a lot of pagan type thoughts in it. Makes me wonder what side of the fence will the leaders of America be in the last day when in Zechariah it talks about all the nation coming against the Lord.

You'll find the USA in the second half of Rev. 13 - the beast with two horns like a lamb.
How do you get US out of Rev. 13:18?

Washington DC would make a great 21st century realm of Greece eh?
But in all fairness Greco-Roman architecture is the standard for government buildings in the western world. But I could see a future in which the US becomes a part of a larger government. Say a North American Union and then joining that with the EU. Especially if a large disaster would happen that would destabilize governments around the world.
The ten toes of Daniel 2 or the ten horns of the beast of Revelation. The future New World Order taking on the future Muslim Caliphate in the war that leads to Armageddon. I could see that in Daniel 11.
What did they call that nation in 1984? Ah yes. Oceania.

Oh, here is a crazy thought. If the calender is 28 years fast like I think it is then the year 2012 would actually be 1984.

Hey All & Hi Ntech,,

I wouldn't call it a standard Ntech, thats rather a blanket statement. The truth is,, The Greek Revival in architecture that took place in the late 18th, early 19th centutries. The nations that were influenced by this style where mainly in Northern Europe and the USA, or just the countries in the North.
quote:
Yet in each country it touched, the style was looked on as the expression of local nationalism and civic virtue, especially in Germany and America, where the idiom was regarded as free from any ecclesiastical or aristocratic associations. greek revival
Now as for Roman,, well how about the looking up at the Rotunda in your Capitol and seeing the The Apotheosis of Washington
quote:
The Apotheosis of Washington depicts George Washington ascending to the heavens and becoming a god (apotheosis). Washington, the first U.S. president and commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during American Revolutionary War, is allegorically represented, surrounded by figures from Greek and Roman mythology. Washington is draped in purple, a royal color, with a rainbow arch at his feet, flanked by the goddess Victory (draped in green, using a horn) to his left and the goddess Liberty to his right. Liberty wears a red cap, symbolizing emancipation, from a Roman tradition where sons leaving the home would be given a red cap. She holds fasces in her right hand and an open book in the other.
War- Armed Freedom aka Columbia
Science- goddess Minerva
Marine- god Neptune & goddess Venus
Commerce- god Mercury
Mechanics- god Vulcan (another trekkie fan) 
Agriculture- god Ceres & goddess Flora
Capture the Dream,
yours In Christ,,
God Bless

I am pretty much blue and true to USA. Yet we have done some great sins in the past. We have had people who the majority of them that didn't want in power and they were just as cruel as Hitler could have been. And I'm talking about recent history.
We allow the Taliban in power in Afghanistan during the eighties to stop from Soviet Union from sending their oil to warm port for delivery. Now, they the Taliban were are no picnic for people of Afganistan and we are in a war to stop the Taliban. This so called weapons of mass destruction allowed us to invaded a land which the dictator was an idiot. But we have not been peaches and cream either to them.

My question is: If America is the two-horned beast, how does verse 18 make sense?

Hey All & Hi,,

Personally i don't think that America is the second beast of Rev 13,, but rather part of the first beast.
The first beast is described to us as being part Lion, Bear & Leopard which we can also see in Daniel 7.
Likewise the two horns of the like a lamb can be referenced to Daniel as well, the two horns of the Ram in Daniel 8. The Medes & Persians
So the second beast is more likely Islam and not America, the false spirit that denies that Jesus is the Son of God, and therefore antichrist.
Capture the Dream,
yours In Christ,,

Agree. US is already at its end times just a matter of when not if. We don't need any help we are doing it to oursleves. End Time events that play out will occur in the Middle East first.

I don't mean to be flip Two but my point is, unless we can prove something with scripture why should we guess? The point of this thread was, is the fate of America stated in prophecy and so far all we have are guesses.
I refuse to guess just because I have an agenda.

All the names that are mentioned above are people who have placed some scripture on the table either for or against America being in prophecy in this thread alone.
So i do question why you would say one thinig while the proof
suggests that your above comment is in fact wrong and misleading.
A guess can go either way not just for America being in prophecy but also that it isn't. Yet most here have made comments that America isn't in or part of endtime prophecy without any scripture at all.
So i gotta ask who is guessing?
Capture the Dream,

My Lord another smarty pants. There is not prophet on earth now worthy to be called such....and I certainly am not one. America is creating her own doom G-d does not have to help with that. My point being that the Middle East will incur the brunt of the End Time.

An agenda huh.....care to share? I am still totally amazed at how we are so obsessed with our own doom.
