Subject: United States in Scripture? |
Bible Note: Hi Beja, My suggestion was that Justme search the scriptures to determine if the USA is there or not. I then offered some ideas of what he might consider and some scriptures, which he might consider. The scriptures speak for themselves. I included 2 Samuel 7:10 because of the prophesy that the LORD would appoint a place for His people Israel and plant them. This was made at a time when David was King over all Israel. This task of planting Israel appears to have been given to Jeremiah: • Jer. 1:10 "See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, To pluck up and to break down, To destroy and to overthrow, To build and to plant." The Jews, those Hebrews of the Southern Kingdom of Judea, are the same ones which returned from Babylon as documented in Ezra and Nehemiah. They did not lose their identity as the Northern Kingdom of Israel did. The modern nation of Israel is Ancient Judea and not Ancient Israel. The Jewish population is about 14 million worldwide. About 42 percent of all Jews live in Israel, followed by the US with about 38 percent. Therefore, they did not fulfill the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. I’m not making any hints about where Israel was planted. However, the “multitude of nations” would need certain characteristics. They would be nations where circumcision is practiced: • Genesis 17: 11 And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. • 19 But God said, "No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
