IS AMERICA IN PROPHECY?

Is America listed in the Bible?  The answer to that question is quite simple: NO!  There are absolutely no references to “America” or to the “United States” anywhere in Scripture.  However, there is an end-time nation whose description is remarkably similar to the United States.  In fact, there are more prophecies written in the Bible about an end-time nation called “the daughter of Babylon” than about any other nation with the exception of Israel. 

The Biblical Description of the End-Time “Daughter of Babylon”

 The Bible describes a powerful end-time nation as Babylon” and “The Daughter of Babylon”. 

Babylon will be the youngest of great nations, born from a motherland, composed of a mixed multitude, a literal melting pot of all nationalities. 

Babylon is depicted as the most wealthy of nations, the world center of manufacturing, commerce, and agricultural production. 

Her location is to the west of Jerusalem, “beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.” 

This end-time nation will also be the great consumer of the world’s products with merchant ships filling her many harbors. 

The land will be fully developed and mapped with many cities. 

Air travel and military security are some of her greatest assets.

 Babylon and her people who once were recognized as the “lady of kingdoms,” will become pre-occupied with pleasures, luxuries, and higher education. 

She will become arrogant in her attitude toward the Lord of heaven.

She will give herself to drugs, occultic practices and great immorality. 

Perversion will become her accepted lifestyle. 

The sins of her national leaders will be exposed for all the world to see. 

The rumor of coming terrorism will cause multitudes to flee her cities and seek shelter in their own homelands. 

The once “glory of kingdoms” will come under the chastening hand of the Lord Who Himself made her great.
