1 | United States in Scripture? | Ps 82:8 | Beja | 227026 | ||
Holmes, You state that you are suggesting nothing, and that the scriptures simply speak for themselves. But obviously you have something in mind. You think that there is some reason that the scriptures you are posting have to do with the question being asked. Why not post some scriptures on the ten commandments? Or perhaps the sermon on the mount? Because they have nothing to do with the question. Why not post things said about Babylon in the book of Revelation? Because you don't believe babylon is the answer. You are posting these verses for some reason. If you wish to leave it with what you've said, that's fine. However, there is no reason to pretend you have no view point. I only wish you'd help us understand what you are trying to say. In Christ, Beja |

2 | United States in Scripture? | Ps 82:8 | Holmes | 227031 | ||
Beja, Of course I believe that the scriptures I posted are relevant to the question. The question is if the United States is mentioned in scripture as a nation. God made an unconditional promise to Abraham that his descendants would be numerous and a “multitude of nations.” Notice that the subject here is nation(s). I then traced that promise of a “multitude of nations” from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob to Joseph to Ephraim. This unconditional promise was one of actual physical nations and was a birthright: • Genesis 25:33 And Jacob said, "First swear to me"; so he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. • 1 Chronicles 5:1[ Genealogy from Reuben ] Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; so that he is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright. • Jeremiah 31:9 . . . I am a father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn." We are in the Last Days and Jacob, when he blessed his sons told us what Joseph would look like: • Genesis 49:1 1Then Jacob summoned his sons and said, "Assemble yourselves that I may tell you what will befall you in the days to come. • 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a spring; Its branches run over a wall. 23 The archers bitterly attacked him, And shot at him and harassed him; 24 But his bow remained firm, And his arms were agile, From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob Where are these nations today? Could the United States be one of them? For your consideration, Holmes |
