1 | 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! | ||||||
2 | Scripture relating to U.S.A. | Jeremiah | Hank | 20803 | ||
The only way I can agree with any, I say any, interpretations that the United States is mentioned in Scripture is in the most general terms possible, i.e., that this piece of earth that is currently called the United States of America has not always been called by that name, and the time may come when it will be called something else, but it is nevertheless a part of planet earth. In this broadest of possible senses, God is indeed King of all the earth and that of course includes what is now known as the U.S.A...... The attempt to find in Scripture anything more specific is an exercise in absolute futility. The search through biblical prophecy to find the Twin Towers disaster of 9/11 is ridiculous. The present-day prophets of doom who claim to have some esoteric insight into biblical prophecy do, many of them, make a good living pandering to the fears and gullibility of their disciples. I know of no other topic in all the Bible that has been so abused and misused as this. Not so long ago I talked to a minister, a sound and learned servant of Christ, who told me he had spent twenty years in making a special study of the book of Revelation. He readily admitted two things. First, that he in all this time felt he had only begun to scratch the surface of the truths to be found in this book. And, second, that the book presents incredible challenges to proper interpretation and in the hands of the undiscerning can be twisted to "support" any number of unbiblical and crackpot theories. --Hank | ||||||

That's why you cannot read scripture with your own mind, you must read it with the help of the Holy Spirit. Our minds are finite. Man's ways are not God's ways! AMEN! Thanks for your insight. | ||||||
