Bible Note: Pastor Glenn Forgive me for saying this but your following statement is a looooong reach. Your overlooking context. "The "...the woman was given two wings of a great eagle..." (verse 14) could represent the USA, since the Eagle is the national symbol. The USA also help Israel become a nation again in their own land after the dragon tried to destroy all Jews in the holocaust." This passage is consider by most to be a description of Israel itself. Going back to Rev 12:1 we see the woman’s description which is clearly the same as seen in Gen. 37:9-11 which we know to be Joseph describing his family which later became the nation of Israel. In Rev 12:2 here we see the women in the pangs of birth which is a common description used for Israel Is 26:17-18, Is 54:1, Hos 13:13, Mic 4:10, Mic 5:2-3. This passage in context clearly is referring to Israel. USA is not mentioned in the Bible in any form that can readily be recognized at this point in time. That is not to say the US is not mentioned only that at this time nothing within the Bible can clearly be recognized as the US. EdB |
