Ok ok ok... so Friday has come around and I'm on a ranting spree.

I just some an advertisement about the "Left Behind" apocolyptic series that looks at one Christian perspective on the end of days.

One thing that caught my eye was the explanation for why the U.S. isn't mentioned in bible prophecy. I thought these assumptions were quite interesting in explaining that:

"One of the hardest things for American prophecy students to accept is that the United States is not clearly mentioned in Bible prophecy, yet our nation is the only superpower in the world today.

Possibility 1
America will still be a powerful nation in the last days, but the Lord simply chose not to mention her specifically.

This is possible, but it seems unlikely. In Scripture, the dominant political and military power in the end times is centered in the Mediterranean and in Europe. This scriptural silence concerning America seems to indicate that by the time the tribulation period arrives, America will no longer be a major influence in the world.

Possibility 2
America is not mentioned specifically in Scripture because she will be destroyed by other nations. She will suffer a fall from the outside.

Those who hold this theory are quick to point to the notion that America will be crippled by a nuclear attack. However, in recent days the terrorist attacks on our nation have led some to conclude that our own freedom and technology will be the Achilles' heel that brings us down.

Possibility 3
America is not mentioned in Bible Prophecy because she will have lost her influence as result of moral and spiritual deterioration. She will suffer a fall from the inside.

As you can imagine, this is a very popular view today in light of the moral malaise we see all around us. Proponents of this view have no trouble citing alarming statistics related to drug use, alcoholism, teen pregnancy, children born out of wedlock, divorce, pornography, abortion and on and on.

Possibility 4
America is not mentioned in Bible Prophecy because she is brought to her knees by the Rapture.

If the rapture were to happen today and all the true believers in Jesus Christ were whisked away to heaven in a split second, America would be devastated. It is estimated that America will lose somewhere between 25 and 65 million citizens: Christians and their small children. Not only would the country lose a minimum of 10% of her population, but she would also lose the very best, the "salt and light" of this great land (see Matthew 5:13-14)."

Which one do you believe, if any?

Merry weekend,

None of the above.

America was not mentioned in the bible because it hadn't been discovered by the society that wrote the bible yet. The people who wrote the bible had no idea there existed a gigantic land mass called the Americas...so they didn't write it into their book. That one's pretty obvious to me.

That's why there's nothing about Australia in the bible either.

 

Wow. I had no idea White Christian Americans were so emboldened and pompous that they felt the US should be mentioned specifically in the Bible in the first place. Amazing.

 

What kind of racist comment is that? Do you know the race of the author?

 

Sorry, it was the Great Liberal Conspiracy Against White Christian America (or GLCAWCA for short as I like to call it) that made me do it.

 

**** white people,they **** me off with their whiteness

 

rofl!!!

 

we're used to it.

Learn another letter besides "*"

 

Bible=a work of fiction passed on by oral tradion for 200-300 years before ever being writen down.

It's a decent piece of literature, from an anthropolical perspective, but not much more.

 

Actually many of the stories in the bible are historically accurate.

 

Yes, the Bible sure blows the Quran out of the water as far as credibility and “believeability” goes. What a piece of **** the Quran was. The Muslim scholars knew it so they invented Haddiths which helped them decipher the melarky in the Quran and various other writings by Muhammad. We can thank them for the numerous sects, including the more radical ones.

Not sure how to answer the question as i'm not very spritual. If I am dead I hope that my bloodline is dilluted enough for me to not give a damn.

 

Upon what anthropoligical evidence do you base your assertion?

 

why the **** should i ****ing do that ****?

 

This is how it's giong to go down:

In several hundred years Jesus will come down to collect his "children" and destroy the earth. However, by then the U.S. is going to be so powerful, that we will have already organized a pre-emptive strike on God and the Angels as well as Hell. Yes, so powerful that we can run two war time campaigns at the same time and be victorious. It's going to be an Epic battle that the writers of the bible left out.

Um...yea, anyway. As far as I'm concerned the bible is just a fictional piece of work.

 

Dude, look it up. Scientist even found sodom... the soil is burnt to ****e for no apparent reason.
