Bible Question: Is the United States hinted at in sbible profCY |
Bible Answer: flm1964 -- Thanks for your question and first post. Welcome. The United States is not mentioned in Scripture, nor "hinted at" in Bible prophecy, at least not to my knowledge and belief. One always should be extremely cautious in "reading into Scripture" what isn't there (called eisegesis). The Apocalyptic Literature of the Bible and matters pertaining to eschatology are deep waters in which even the "experts" often find themselves over their heads. I talked to a fine scholar one time who had made the book of the Revelation his object of special study. He told me he'd studied it for a quarter century but disavowed any claim to mastery of the book. Unfortunately, on the other hand, we see from time to time a whiz-kid buzz by who has skimmed through a couple of chapters of apocalyptic Scripture and would have you believe he knows more about eschatology than the Apostle John himself. --Hank |
