Why is the USA conspicuously missing among the players described in the last days in the Bible?

Question

The Battle of Armageddon lists players in the East as they descend like locusts on Israel with an army of 200 million. But the US is not mentioned. What is your crazy theory as to where we are? Do we get wiped out with diarrhea, or something sinister? What is your theory?

America is the feet of clay... Everyone always points to Revelation, especially Revelation 13:1, but never finish the story offering nothing but incompleteness. There is also Daniel, Ezekiel 14, and Zephaniah with prophecy set way before Jesus ever showed up. Firstly Daniel 2:31-45 where the Great Image with a 1. head of Gold represents "Oh great king, Nebuchadnezzar, Babylonia (modern Iraq) rule. 2. The breastplate and arms of Silver represents Media-Persians (modern Iran) lesser kingdoms follow Neb. 3. Belly and thighs of brass represents the Greeks (Alexander the Great), 4. Legs of Iron represent Romans, and finally a revived Roman Empire (Modern Times and in process...America off map before this time).

Now, to the question at hand: The feet of iron and clay which represents many smaller kingdoms post Roman rule. Some believe that America and it crumbles and eventually leading to a reunited Rome (European union).

These 4 beasts are described in Daniel 7:4 Lion with Eagle wings (Babylonia) a beast of prey and conquering animal/kingdom. There is archaeological evidence confirmation. The second beast 7:5 Bear Media Persia also archaeological evidence confirmation. the third being Leopard which is Greece one with great speed and aggression conquered the world of that time. Greek language globally. The fourth beast being divided kingdom Syria, Egypt, great iron beast different than all Dan 7:7 other beast with ten horns... and 1 little horn Roman Empire present until this day (European Union). America to be destroyed somewhere before the European Union and the Antichrist. Little horn believed to be Antichrist that all kingdoms bow too. v9 Second Coming of Jesus the Christ.

Is it?

Revelation 13:11-18

The Beast out of the Earth
11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] That number is 666.

The US is the 2nd beast, the first beast is Israel. Verse 15 speaks of vaccinations and a cashless soceity.

The United States isn't mentioned in the Bible for two reasons: 1. It didn't even exist back then when the book we know as the Bible was created, and 2. it's not important enough to bother mentioning.

Sixgunsound · Answer

When you don't have a unified culture or identity It is easy to drive wedges between groups. We also have most of the military hardware, or at least the stuff that matters, on Earth, minus the stuff that bumbling Biden gifted one of the biggest state sponsors of domestic abd international terrorism. You get what you get when a lot of people who don't get along that survive the fall of an iron fisted hovernment that rules by being able to produce the most violence the most quickly, and since our bases and missiles and armories are spread out around the country there will be no clear winning warlord. Multiple factions will get some of the toys and Have to defend themselves from the ambitions of those who got the rest. And that's only taking into account internal enemies. Sparta Experienced a lot of the same problems internationally that the US is experiencing now as far as making a lot of small enemies who are much better at building alliances out of necessity of relative power.

The battle of Armageddon took place in the fifth century BC, more than two thousand years before the United States even existed. It was also- brace for a shock- NOT the end times, as the universe continued. Um, spoiler alert.

Seriously, people- am I the only person who's even READ the Bible? This is Esther; even Protestant Bibles have that.

jshm2 · Answer

It doesn't actually say "Israel" -also, it's largely transliteration and fabrication as much of it has nothing to with what every "bible nut" claims it does.

America will likely be wiped out in the next few years by either the san andreas fault or the yellowstone caldera. Hence like many "nations before" will not be a chapter in The End

Here is a point of view that this particular prophecy was fulfilled in the Book of Esther.

Because we will be too busy fighting ourselves, we won't have time to worry about a conflict in another country.  For once.

OfDeath · Answer

It's because america wasn't known to ancient Europe or the Middle East.

It was first reached by nomads migrating north east from Asia thousands of years before the bible was written. There is evidence vikings also found it, but they didn't last and word didn't spread to biblical authors.

Fuentes · Answer

Or were just apart of the new world order one nation currency split with the Europeans and some other continents that WEF has been trying to implement the great restart & they "predict" the US will no longer be a super power and just fall in line under them. Which is probably why the US isn't mentioned & the reason, Biden has been destroying it left and right.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

The Bible is a primarily speaks about Asia, Europe and African countries.

America is insignificant as all the problems will be coming from those continents if you actually read the books of the prophets.

And the Bible doesn't mention no 200 million army coming upon Israel.

Israel is a heathen, atheist nation.

AviatorTom · Answer

Very simple answer... the people that wrote the Bible didn't know that the Americas existed. They wrote about areas they knew something about. Nothing about the Americas (including the United States) is perfectly understandable.

Wade12345 · Answer

The Last Days does not happen until 10^128 number of years from now. The entire "New Testament" is a false religion and false prophecy.

John_Doesnt · Answer

Because the bible was written by bronze age goat herders who knew nothing about the existence of North America.
