" 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.
