**The Bible does not mention America nor are we mentioned in prophesy.**
America (USA) does seem to fit the description of “Babylon” in Rev. 18. The verses 15-19 describe a city much like NYC. And as a nation, our ports, and shipping connected to them, have made America wealthier than any other nation. East coast, west coast, and gulf coast. What nation even comes close?
Babylon, Iraq is the Babylon the Bible is mentioning. You can fit almost any other city in the world into that prophesy.
The ruins of Babylon of the Bible are over 250 miles from the nearest seaport. The USA is the world’s largest economy and largest importer. NYC is the leading focal point of it all, and is right there on the coast.
Sunday schools and church bodies as a whole are taught very little geography. Most folks don’t think it’s important. It can be if a biblical story is misrepresented. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone talk about Jonah being vomited out of the whale, after being in it three days and nights, and walking into Nineveh, pale and stinking.
Nineveh was over 400 air miles from the Mediterranean Sea. It likely took Jonah a couple of weeks to get there. He probably looked and smelled quite normal by then.

So are many other countries. The US is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible, why, because the books of the Bible were written in an area that at that time was considered the world. The authors of the different books OT and NT did not know of countries outside the Roman empire.
There is proof of middle eastern trade with the Far East centuries before the Roman Empire. So I’m sure the prophets and apostles were not ignorant of far away lands.
The judgment of God is not against the lands, but against sin. The people of the lands are what are bring God’s judgment, no matter where the people happen to be living. The origins of the people begins with Adam.
I believe that the seven churches in Revelation are spoken of in a spiritual sense. They are the seven golden candlesticks (1:20). In heaven there are “seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the the seven Spirits of God” (4:5). These “seven Spirits of God are sent forth into all the earth” (5:6).
God told Moses (when instructed to make the tabernacle), that it was to be an “example and shadow of heavenly things”, and “that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount” (Heb. 8:5).
The reason for explaining all this is that there is no mention of burning one candle, putting it out when lighting the next, and so on until lighting the seventh. But that is what theologians have taught for centuries: that the seven churches are each during a certain period of time; with the most recent ones declaring this to be the Laodician church age.
I believe them to be wrong. The seven candles were to all burn at the same time. I believe the seven Spirits of God are still here on earth, with examples of the seven churches still found around the world, with no border that can keep them out.
The OT points to the Messiah in the NT. All else on prophesy is interpretation by different people. The thing to do is always watch Israel, that’s where it’s all going to happen.
Ovason writes that on August 10, 1791 the three fixed stars Arcturus, Regulus and Spica rose at sunset, forming a celestial triangle that inspired the design of the city’s Federal Triangle.
Bootes the coming one
Arcturus in Bootes, Regulus in Leo and Spica in Virgo... which brings us back to...
Correct!
Putin once casually said over dinner that he could destroy America in a half-hour or less
Clip:
Putin addressed topics ranging from the "Russian government's loss of public trust to his own indispensable leadership."
He later directed his focus on the US and addressed the Americans in attendance.
"You ask me whether we are going to change," he said. "The ball is in your court. Will you change?"
He expressed his disapproval of US plans to build a missile-defense system that he believed would pose a deliberate threat to Russia's national security.
Putin then added that the only reason the US had any interest in relations with Moscow was that Russia was the only country that could "destroy America in half an hour or less."

Revelation 18:1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”...
...7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. 9 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’...
...17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’...
...19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’
The fact is that Russia has been practicing mass nuclear bombing of the United States since Bill Clinton was president. America is Babylon.
Putin’s Russia could destroy America, but would he be willing to sacrifice losing a few cities as well?
I wonder if God’s judgment would be earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. With military attack just a mop up. We don’t know.
I do know we had a president that went to Africa and rebuked a nation(s) that doesn’t approve of homosexual behavior. I can’t picture Putin doing that.
I just find it difficult to connect the dots (stars) and come up with a man, or a woman, or a lion, or etc. I mean, they don’t even have a star at each major joint, where you could make a decent stickman.
This is a star chart for the cornerstone ceremonies for the White House and Capitol building...
Masonic founders may have oriented Washington around Virgo
Clip:
Eighteen months later, on Oct. 13, 1792, a second marker stone was laid at the foundation of the White House by the Georgetown branch of the Masons. On that day, the moon was rising in Virgo.
"The chances of the correspondence being mere coincidence are so remote that we must assume that whoever was directing the planning of Washington, D.C., not only had a considerable knowledge of astrology, but had a vested interest in emphasizing the role of the sign Virgo," Mr. Ovason wrote.
At the founding of the Capitol building Sept. 18, 1793, the sun and Mercury were in the constellation of Virgo. This ceremony is enshrined on the Senate bronze doors.
One door shows a plate of George Washington, wearing a white satin Masonic apron, using a trowel to lay the cornerstone. The apron, which can be viewed at the George Washington Masonic Memorial in Alexandria, shows American and French flags, a gavel and a triangle symbolizing a universal deity surrounded by stars.
