Hello Ihavefavor, I was reading this thread, and it doesn't appear that your question was answered. Or was it? Please see Jer 14:14-18 and realize that yes you were answered, but they knew not. I believe everything and everyone is in the Bible. Yes, even the US. See Rev 12:9 where it says that satan deceives the whole world. Is the US a part of the "whole world"? I think so, but I'm sure we will get a debate on that. Please don't feel discouraged, there are some out here who read to understand with the sincerity of their hearts. Take names and remember, but please forgive because I think or hope they don't realize what they do. In the book of Jeremiah chapters 2:1 through 20:18 are prophecies addressed to the jews. Remember or have you read Amos 8:11? Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: Look around, isn't this happening? I think so. Do you have anything else you want to talk about? For the Love of the Father in Faith and Hope, Casiv |

3 | Does Jeremiah 14 and 15 relate to U.S. | Jeremiah | Ihavefavor | 20760 | ||
Thanks Casiv, for your response. I was just throwing out that question to see where people (believers) are at. During my study time (quiet time with our Lord) He showed me, and led me into certain scripture. To think that we, the U.S., are not represented is foolery (sp). As HIS people alone we are represented in scripture. I am not trying to "use" scripture or twist it, but I am reading it with the Holy Spirit's guidance...and will continue to allow God's spirit to guide me..not humans. As you know that will be a problem, according to scripture, in the end times. | ||||||

Would you be willing, Ihavefavor, to share with the forum the scripture to which God led you -- the "certain scripture" to which you made allusion in your post? --Hank | ||||||
5 | Scripture relating to U.S.A. | Jeremiah | Ihavefavor | 20792 | ||
How about Zechariah 14?....and verse 9...The Lord will be king over the whole earth. That's prophetic not for the times in OT. This is just one of many. God bless! | ||||||

Commentary....................................... Greetings Ihavefavor! Many people have been asking if the USA is mentioned in the Bible or not! In this post and in your post relating to Jer. 14 and 15, you have provided an excellent example of contextual interpretation. You mentioned Zech. 14:9. This is obviously an unfilled prophecy. It talks about the whole earth gathering together to fight against Israel. It talks about Christ physically descending to touch the Mount of Olives. So, it is perfectly acceptable to say that if the USA is still around when this prophecy is fulfilled that they will be one of the nations gathered against Israel - since all nations are gathered against her. However, in Jer. 14 and 15, the specific context concerns Judah, not the United States. Context is the key! The simple fact is that the United States is never mentioned by name in prophecy. If we are included, it is as one of the many nations only. So, it is impossible to point to specific Scriptures and say with certainty that the United States is the subject of the prophecy, especially when the context clearly identifies another nation as the subject.
