One of the most common questions regarding Bible prophecy is where is the United States in scripture? Many nations of the world are not mentioned in scripture, however it is hard to understand how the world's most powerful nation would not be. At least not in a way that we recognize it clearly. Their are many theories and ideas as to why this is but here are three of the most common: * The United States is no longer relevant * The United States is destroyed * The United States is no longer its own country - but part of a larger union of nations - possibly controlled by the Antichrist. All of these responses are based on speculation. We simply do not know the answer but it is very possible there may be some symbolism that the United States may fit into. We must simply watch and wait to see what God's plan for America is. To that effect we monitor what impact terrorism and war might have on the United States as well any other factors that could contribute to its decline or change on the world stage. America is also Israel's closest ally. God promises to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel (Genesis 12:3). America's relationship with Israel will be closely watched.

i hate to say it being that i live here and all-but almost all other countries are ran based on tradition and religion and are very strict ---i have always said that if i could live in another country i would because USA isnt like that that is a scarey thought to me -considering that i honestly believe that during the armageddon the US will probably be destroyed but i do so hope that for those of us living the light of God he will protect us and our children from the awful things in store--USA is extremely sinful and carefree about it and now we have Morons trying to take away our crosses and our right to choose whether or not our children learn about the bible in school i had a petition sent to me the other day on that i replied back with what i thought about it but got a message back saying that they knew i replied back but couldnt read it because of this or that--oh well

April, I had the same petition sent to me ages ago. I knwo what's happening there in schools. I'm not sure how it is here in public school system, I think that there is still RE ( religious education) but it has always been optional, in any case my kids go to private religious schools which I prefer. They do Church atleast once per week. Atleast you can be assured that they learn alot about religion, the RE in public schools used to be very basic, not much at all. ;D
