What does that have to do with what I wrote?You claim the US isnt in
prophecy, but it has to be, if there is any connection between future
events and Gods plan for salvation.
No, it doesn't. It just falls under the blanket heading of "the nations,"
just like every other nation that isn't Israel.
Yes it does because literal Israel exists because of literal actions
by the US.
Ah, no, by the LITERAL actions of the Balfour Declaration and the United
Nations, which are "the nations."
Post by H.E. Eickleberry, Jr.Re 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of
the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward
unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy
name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
The US is just part of the "great and terrible beast" of western society in
general, which tries to be humanist like the kingdoms of the north, liberal
like the kingdoms of the east, and fundamentalist like the kings of the
south, all at the same time, giving rise to continual confusion, or, going
by its biblical name, "Babylon."
These are the four "winds" of prophecy that will come against God's Israel.

Who is God's Israel?
Which one? The one that "was," the one that "is," or the one that is "yet to
come?"
The one that "was" closed with the coming of John the Baptist, as Jesus
said...
Lu 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the
kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
The one that "is" will close with the fulfillment of the time of the
Gentiles and the dissimilation of the churches, as Paul wrote...
Ro 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part
is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
The one that "will be" will start with Jesus' Remnant, i.e. the 144,000, who
will "keep the commandments of God AND have the faith of Jesus," etc., etc.
It will come from both the Israel that "was" and "is," but will be neither
and both at the same time. This "Israel" is hidden in the nations, and won't
be seen until God calls them out, as Jeremiah [31:27-34] wrote...
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of
Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of
beast.
And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to
pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to
afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour
grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge, but every one shall die for
his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be
set on edge.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the
covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the
hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake,
although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith
the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their
hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall
teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the
greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I
will remember their sin no more.
