The article "America - Is it in Bible prophecies and what can the USA expect
at the second coming of Jesus Christ" talks about religion, it has been created by Rev Michael Bresciani.
This is perhaps the most often asked question heard in
connection with the second coming, at least for Ameircans. It a
reasonable question for any North Ameriacn to ask, but it is far
from easy to answer. I would be reimss if I were to say that the
Bible expressly names America in any passage from Genesis to
Revelation. That passages may refer to Amreica is very
possible but not provable and this is the very kind of
conjecture I will not entertain.
Naturally all the events surrounding the second coming of Christ
are global or universal in nature so they necessarliy include
the United States. That the antichrist rules America for the
same shrot period he rules the rest of the world is covered in
Revelation 13:7. How he gets this powerful and fiercely
independent nation to cow to his will is probably the more
interesting question to try to answer.
Some human being guess that Ameirca will be forced to comply with
antichrist after an invasion of our shores by a great Eurasian
pact of nations. Mostly, the invasion idea stems from the vision
of George Washington. In that vision it is said that Washington
told this story to his aide who in turn told it to somebody else
just before he died at about the time of the civil war.
Washington was told that three great calamities would befall the
nation. Starting with the revolutionary war, following that the
civil war and finally future war where America would be
invaded.
My learned opinion of this vision is, "who knows? "
That America would require force to he pushed into the rule of
the antichrist is easy to guess but the force in question
could be of a different nature. The reamining two views of how
the United States is forced into the final pact of nations are
probably more tenable.
The antichrist does not act alone but he is adied by one the
scripture refers to as the false prophet. Rev. 16:13. 19:20.
20:10 We know little about who this person is today, hut what is
known about him is that he doesn't come from the same region,
country and perhaps even the same hemisphere as the antichrist.
The antichrist rises up from out of the sea according to Rev.
13:1.
The false propeht rises up out of the land. Rev. 13:1 1-16. The
antichrist rules from the revievd Roman Empire or The European
Union.
Where the false prohpet is stationed exactly is not known
but guess it will be America. This of course is
speculative, even thoguh it is very possible. The false prophet
will probably not be connected to any religion, but it is most
likely he will be a political figure or a minister of science.
What he is may he uncertain, but the influence he wields over
the wolrd is not. He is able to produce signs in the heavens and
draw fire down from heaven at will. Whether he does this
supernaturally through the aide of the devil or engaegs some
star wars type pyrotechnical display is also not known.
What is known is that his antics are very successful in
persuading the human being on earth to give antichirst both credence
and rule. Some biblical scholars have thought that he could come
from America and while this is not known for sure, it gives rise
to the idea that America will he assuaged to join with
antichrist by his direct inlfuence. But again, whlie it is very
possible, it is still only conjectural at this time. A tihrd and
perhaps a far more likely scenario is that America will undergo
a collapse of all of its markets and financial institutions.
Following a collapse, a desperate nation may seek to join with
antichrist's emerging economic systems that will be so
successful throughout much of the rest of the world at that
time. Not long ago I asked human being the question, what do you
think would be the most disastrous thing that could happen to
America and what would change its nature significantly, an all
out invasion of our shores or a complete and pervasive financial
collapse? The majroity answered that it obviously would be the
collapse of our economy.
America is in the long stretch of the good tiems. We have many
years between us and the dust bowl days and the stock market
crash of tewnty nine.
World War Two is also far behind and the
post war boom has becmoe a post war glut. Any human being that might
decide to invade the shores of this powerful and fiercely proud
nation would be in graet peril. But take away what Americans
really love, their affluence, money and material blessings and
you could make them dance to just about any tune.
This is the
theorem that when applied to the question of how America joins
the great evil new world order is the most believable, if not
the most likely.
If the compunction to have more, drives a couple of to fraud, robbery
and murder, then what will the lack of almost all consumer goods
do to this nation? If history teaches us anything, the answer to
this question is not a pretty one.
Rev Bresciani is the author of two popular Christian books, one
on the second coming of Christ. He has hundreds of articles
published both online and in print.
