AMERICA IN THE END TIMES

[betsy]

The silence of the Bible on America is deafening.  This would also include Canada.
A great explanation as to why that is.

America has to be diminished, or become so unsignificant........because it isn't mentioned in the Bible.

  Who knows, American might've been swallowed up by China or Russia by the time END TIMES come.

 

Whatever happens, Christians shouldn't be troubled by this.
KEEP YOUR EYES AND FAITH ON JESUS.

If we're talking biblical prophecies (divine revelation) - it wouldn't have mattered whether America has been discovered or not.

If America is prominent in the end times, there would be a mention, or something that would allude to America.

 

 

Who are Meshech and Tubal in the Bible?

 

The land of Meshech is used in Psalm 120:5 as a generic reference to barbarous regions where “those who hate peace” live (verse 6). The lands where Meshech’s and Tubal’s descendants settled figure significantly in some prophecies of Ezekiel, and it is in that book where they are mentioned most. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 38, Meshech and Tubal are ruled by Gog, a prince over those territories: “The word of the LORD came to me: ‘Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, “Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal”’” (Ezekiel 38:1–3). Ezekiel repeats God’s words of judgment against the descendants of the two sons of Japheth when he prophesies that God will defeat them in a war against Israel (Ezekiel 39:1–5).

Many biblical scholars equate the land of Gog in Ezekiel’s prophecies with Russia, who will attack Israel “from the far north” (Ezekiel 38:15). Meshech and Tubal could be two of the “many nations” joining Russia in their invasion of Israel (verse 6).

The advance of the alliance involving Meshech and Tubal will be like “a cloud covering the land” (Ezekiel 38:9). Some commentators believe this war, often called the Battle of Gog and Magog, will be one of the events leading up to the end-times’ tribulation. Others believe it will occur close to the midpoint of the tribulation, since Israel will feel secure at the time, “dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates” (verse 11).

I would just want to be clear  that these are  speculations at this time.
 

 

This metamorphosis of Israel from an energy poor country, to being a major player as an oil and gas export country, is a game changer. It sets the stage for the prophesied attack upon Israel in order to plunder her energy reserves. Muslim nations are already chomping at the bit to destroy Israel. Russia has cozied up to Iran and now Israel has what everyone wants. All the players are in position, exactly as God’s Word predicted. The time for the fulfillment of the Ezekiel prophecy may be imminent.


This future attack upon Israel is exactly where we would expect to see America coming to Israel’s defense. Yet strange as it is, scripture records that no one comes to Israel’s aid. Instead, God himself stops the attack by miraculously raining hailstones, fire and brimstone out of heaven onto the attacking hordes.


Why is America not coming to Israel’s defense in that scenario? There are some interesting passages that give us a clue. Here they are:


“And I will turn you about, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords…
And you will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a mighty army…” (Ezekiel 38:4,15)
 

 

Where is America?

Now for our initial question – where is America in all this? Does the Bible mention America? Yes and no – America is not mentioned directly, but the fact that America is not mentioned tells us something significant.
It tells us this: America is not a functioning super-power at the time of this attack. If we were, we would be mentioned as defending Israel.

Why is America not mentioned in Bible prophecy?

 

Pastor Greg Laurie and Pastor Don Stewart discuss why America is not mentioned in the Bible as a part of the last days. Are we no longer a Superpower? Are we no longer a nation?

It could be too, America isn't mentioned because it's become among the many enemies of Israel.

I think you're missing the point.....again.

If they're not mentioned in the END TIMES, it coulf very well mean the same thing why America is not mentioned in the End Times!

 

 

Many students of Bible prophecy consider Revelation 16:12–16 to possibly refer to China in the end times:

“The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Then . . . demonic spirits that perform signs . . . go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. . . . Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon” (Revelation 16:12–16).

 

It is impossible to know for sure if the Eastern confederacy of the end times will include China; however, it seems likely that China will be involved. Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in China’s power and influence. The development of enormous military strength; intimidation of Hong Kong, Tibet, Taiwan, and other regions; pursuit of global economic dominance; aggressive rhetoric on the world stage; and, of course, the persecution of Chinese Christians—all this has been characteristic of China. It is not hard to imagine that the “kings from the East” who one day march into Israel will include China.

No one knows for sure whether modern-day China will play a role in the end times because modern-day China is not mentioned by name in the Bible. However, some believe the "kings from the east" in Revelation 16:12–16 to be a reference to China. The gathering of armies is in preparation for the battle of Armageddon, which takes place at the end of the tribulation. Some interpret "the kings from the east" marching toward the Middle East as the armies of China being able to cross the dried-up Euphrates.

 

Whether or not the coalition of eastern kings includes what we know today as China we cannot say for certain. However, China has one of the most powerful and numerous armies in history, and its military and economic power and influence are growing. Add to that its persecution of Christians, and other religions, and it seems possible China will be involved in end-times activities.

India is mentioned in the Bible.

 

Esther 1:1

Now in the days of Ahasuerus, the Ahasuerus who reigned from India to Ethiopia over 127 provinces,

 

Esther 8:9

The king's scribes were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day. And an edict was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded concerning the Jews, to the satraps and the governors and the officials of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to each province in its own script and to each people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

 

 

In biblical geography, India is described as bordering the Achaemenid Persian Empire under Ahasuerus (Xerxes I), as referenced in the Book of Esther (Esther 1:1 and Esther 8:9).^[1] 1 Maccabees, which is located in the Deuterocanonon/Aprocrypha, references "the Indian mahouts of Antichus's war elephants [second century B.C.]" (1 Maccabees 6:37).^[1] Archaeological findings in the cities of Sumer, including Kish, Lagash, and Ur, confirm trade between India and Mesopatamia.^[1] For example, ivory objects crafted in India have been found in Mesopotamia.^[1]

1 Kings 9:26–27 discusses the navy of King Solomon sailing to Ophir ("Sopheir" and "Sophara" in the LXX), with the word Sophir meaning India in Coptic; as gold was plentiful in India, "it is generally accepted that Ophir was a port in India".^[1] 1 Kings 10:22 mentions "gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks" brought by the navy of King Solomon and King Hiram to Israel.^[1] In the Old Testament, the word for peacock tuki, the word for ivory shen habbim, and the word for ape kof are likely "derived from their Indian counterparts tokei, ab, and kapi, respectively."^[1] Proverbs 7:17, Psalms 45:8, and Song of Solomon 4:14 reference the Indian fragrant wood aloes, which in the Hebrew is ahalim, being derived from the Sanskrit agaru.^[1] Contemporary Babylonian texts use the word sindhu (meaning "Indian") for linen, as with Greek texts that use the word sindon for the same.^[1] The term Hodu in Esther 1:1 is a biblical name of India, which is derived from the word Hindu, referring to the inhabitants of the Sindhu River of the Indo-Gangetic Plain.^[2]
