Is America Mentioned in Scripture?, Part 2

As I last mentioned, Daniel chapter 7 gives clear evidence that America has its place in scripture and in the end-times. Other evidence of an "eagle" in scripture are in John's visionary account in Revelation. The first is Revelation 8:13, IGENT:

13 And I saw, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven saying with a great voice, woe, woe, woe to the ones dwelling on the earth from the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels being about to trumpet.

Charles Miller gives a very thorough account regarding this scripture, as to its inference of America's mission and valued existence, and it can be viewed here. Essentially, the interpretation of his scripture is that America will, with its communications capabilities, spead the word to the world as to the fulfillment of scripture as the end-times are occurring.

The other scripture is Revelation 12:14, KJV:

14 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.

The woman referred to here is Israel, and "she" is fleeing from "the great dragon" (Rev. 12:9), which in one context is Satan, but in another is that China will attack and overrun the nation of Israel, and the "two wings of a great eagle" that are given will deliver her from complete destruction. Again, the implication is that America will prove its value and God's purposes as Israel's long-time friend and ally. Charles Miller's in-depth explanation of Revelation 12 can be viewed here.

To reiterate, the majority of so-called "Christian" media teach that America is either not mentioned in scripture, and therefore will be rendered totally irrelivant during the end-times, or that it is "Mystery Babylon," and will suffer God's judgement and ultimate destruction. However, it can be shown that these views are in error, and indeed America will fulfill its ultimate purpose as a shelter of Israel and God's chosen people, the Jews. Recall what God spoke to Abraham:

Genesis 12: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Our nation has been in the forefront in standing by and blessing the nation of Israel, and I believe that this promise is significant in dispelling the false teaching regarding the damnation of America and its imminent destruction. Yes, there are many things wrong with our country, with many abominable sins and societal ills that curse us, but the one thing that singles America out of all others is our steadfast defense of the nation of Israel.

For quite a few years now, men like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Jack Van Impe have been counting down the days when America's end would come, because they believed that they would be spectators when God's wrath would be poured out upon this country. They believe and teach that America isn't part of God's plan in the end-times, and they proclaim God's wrath being poured out every time a hurricane or terrorist bombing hits us.

Rather than condemning America and setting up believers with a false notion that America doesn't matter, these religious media people should be calling believers to pray for our nation, and for our continued support and blessing of the state of Israel. The future of America is counting upon it.
