A slightly modified graphic from ' The Biblicist.org. '
While once again examining Our SEO Rankings, I stumbled across The Biblicist.org - which has been listed by Ask Custom Search for the very same search terms as ' America In Prophecy. ' Consequently, I couldn't help but to see what they themselves had to say about: " The United States Of America In End Time Prophecy. " Meanwhile, The Following Snippet is An Exact Quotation from their own personally available information.... 


" Is America In Bible Prophecy? 
by Thomas Ice

No one disputes the fact that America has a unique history during which it became, and continues to be a preeminent feature in global affairs. The recent war in Iraq is but one example. In a quarter of a millennium it has become a nation unlike any other nation in the history of the world. In some respects, it rivals nations with much longer histories. Yet the Bible is remarkably silent when speaking about the role of America in Bible prophecy. Dr. Tim LaHaye writes, "One of the hardest things for American prophecy students to accept is that the United States is not clearly mentioned in Bible prophecy, yet our nation is the only superpower in the world today." [1]

Dr. LaHaye has put his finger upon the source that likely generates the often ask question, "How does America fit into Bible prophecy?" Rarely, if ever, does anyone ask, "How does Mexico, or Canada, or Chile fit into Bible prophecy?" The United States has a strong Christian heritage and is currently the world's only superpower. Since many Christians believe that we are near the end of the age, it is hard to envision a prophetic scenario which excludes America- the world's most influential nation. Yet, other nations are the focus of biblical prophecy. 

America Will Be Included With The Nations
There are no specific references to the United States in Bible prophecy. However, there are biblical statements about what the nations in general will be doing during the tribulation period. Passages like Haggai 2:6-7, Isaiah 66:18-20, and Zechariah 12:2-3 speak of all the nations involved in end-time events. These kinds of references clearly will include the United States in their fulfillment, but they do not teach us anything specifically about America in prophecy. "
