Where Is U.S. In Last-Days Scenario?
Exclusive: Greg Laurie offers 3 possible explanations for absence of America in Bible
WND
When I look at Bible prophecy, one thing that is of great interest to me, and of great concern, is the absence of the United States. It is interesting to note that a number of nations are mentioned in the Bible that will be active in the last days. Libya is mentioned by name. Persia, which became modern Iran and Iraq, is mentioned. Ethiopia is specifically mentioned. Quite possibly China and Russia are mentioned. And certainly Israel is mentioned. But the one nation that is strangely absent is the United States of America.
Where is the United States? Why are we not in the last-days scenario? Why is it that we can read of nations like Iraq and Iran and Libya and that we possibly can find China and Russia mentioned, but we cannot find the United States?
I would like to offer three plausible answers.
One, perhaps the United States may not be mentioned in Scripture because it might be devastated by a nuclear war. It is a horrible scenario and one that none of us would want to see, but we cannot rule it out as a possibility. There is no guarantee this could not happen. The possibilities of it have never been greater. Some would think that because the former Soviet Union dissolved, the threat is gone. But many nations have nuclear weapons. It could indeed be a rogue terrorist nation with nuclear capabilities, or even a terrorist group that could set off the dominoes falling onto each other. I hope this isn’t the case, but we cannot rule it out.
Rome was once the reigning superpower on earth. They had the most powerful military anywhere. But before Rome collapsed externally, she collapsed internally. I think we would do well to look at the soul of our country right now. I am for a strong military. We need to take seriously any foreign threats. But having said that, what about an internal collapse?
The second possible reason our nation may not be mentioned in Scripture is that perhaps we will simply decline as a world power. As our country becomes more and more secular, systematically eliminating God and the Bible from our education system, courts, and the arts we will begin to reap the inevitable results of sin. We will begin to rot from the inside.

Regrettably, Greg Laurie is another poorly informed ‘Christian.’ And, regrettably, his website (‘WND’) is another unscriptural site that promotes the unfounded, ‘rapture’ theory that has so many Americans in its thrall.
As a matter of fact, the US is, indeed, referenced in Bible prophecy! Of course, it’s not called ‘The United States,’ by name; but it is identified to those who study the scriptures guided by God’s Spirit.
For those who have the fortitude (since it’s not cheery reading) and want to know the truth about the US in prophecy, I refer you to this link:

Also check the index of essays, under the ‘religion’ heading, and you’ll find further studies showing the role of the US and Israel in these last days. God didn’t leave us without warnings– it’s there in the Book, for all ‘who have eyes’ to read!
