1 | Is the United States in the Bible? | Dan 7:4 | Makarios | 5928 | ||
I was listening to Irvin Baxter's Endtime prophecy program (http://www.endtime.com) on the radio and he specifically mentions that the United States is in the Bible, and it is here in Daniel 7:4.. He says that the first beast was like a lion (in which he alludes to Great Britian) that had the wings of an eagle (the Official symbol of the United States). He claims that this represents the United States. Is there any truth here or is this just pure speculation? | ||||||
2 | Is the United States in the Bible? | Dan 7:4 | orthodoxy | 5952 | ||
This is nonsense and an abuse of Scripture. I do not believe that God has placed things in Scripture that are useless for 2500 years, and if Daniel 7:4 has to do with Britain and the US, then that's exactly what's happening. Not only that, but Baxer is, or at least seems to be, dispensational. I'm willing to ditch his entire method of interpretation from start to finish :) |

All very interesting, however, even more interesting is that the verse in question..Dan 7:4...Is it mere coincidence that the chapter and number of the verse are the same as the date(7/4, July 4th) of US declaration of Independence?... The day America broke apart from Great Britain, stood on it's own, with the founding of a "democracy" government ruled by the people...by the heart of it's men? Even as a child in church, listening to pastors as I grew up talk about this very verse, I felt in my heart that there was something more to this, and so I continue to pray for understanding. Day by day goes by and His plan is obviously falling into place all around us. Yet another interesting thing...HEB 12:26.. read it and then think about the shaking in Heaven with the homecoming of thousands of christians that parished in the 12-26 (2004) earthquake/tsunami, as those also on 12-26 (1991?) earthquake in Iran Brother "Orthodoxy"... you stated " I do not believe that God has placed things in Scripture that are useless for 2500 years..." Remember in the end of the book of Daniel, in Chapt 12, Daniel doesn't understand these visions and he is told that the book is for those in the end times to understand... 12:8-9 Obviously the book was never "sealed" from everyones view all these centuries... it was in the Bible all along, but only those in the "times of the end" would recognize it's meanings. God Bless. |

Chapter and verse divisions are not inspired. We are a republic not a democracy. | ||||||
