I agree completely but would have used a different term since after all, we are talking about something that comes from scripture here. I don't think the US shows up at all as a specific identified country other than a vague reference in Ezekiel 38....this is the chapter which appears to be discussing a future attack on Israel from Russia. In verse 13, it says.... "Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?" There are a number of candidates for who Tarshish may be and one of them is the British Isles. America is a young lion of the British Isles.
Yes, the British Israelites believe that Jeremiah brought an Israelite princess to Ireland shortly after the Babylonians invaded Judah. They trace the Queen’s ancestry to this princess along a circuitous genealogical thread, by way of Scotland. It puzzles me, though, since there are many females and many links that never reigned over anything. Still, they maintain that the throne of the United Kingdom is Judah’s throne.
In the end nothing of man will stand..all bs, from bs faith levels..we need Christ bad..!!

Im not altogether certain
bump thanks
Yes of course. Because obviously the Bible is all about us.
After all, America is a "chrstian nation" just like ancient Biblical Israel, when King David went around passing out gospel tracts and asking everyone "are you saved?" It's obvious "Israel" is actually the good old United States of America. After all, G-d gave Moses the good old King James Version at Sinai, didn't he?
In fact, all that stuff in the Bible? It actually happened right here.
Is a sarcasm tag really necessary?
“If his claims are correct...”
They’re not, so don’t worry yourself.
Stop and think for a second how prideful one has to be in order to insist that your country is so important that God’s plan must revolve around it, and then to go reinterpret perfectly sensible Scriptures in order to make that work. Anybody who would think that is reasonable is nobody to trust on spiritual matters.
As for the claims he makes, it is easy to blow holes in them. If “Israel” (America) is invaded from the North, then this identification would mean that Gog and Magog would have to be Canada. I suppose anything is possible, but that is so silly an interpretation as to make the rest of it not worth bothering with.

This author and the others that attempt to insert the USA in Biblical history/prophecy is akin to the teachers the apostle Paul warned about. We should be focused on advancing God’s kingdom (helping increase the number of people Christ will call his own) and those that do will be rewarded at their judgement time.
Learn and be immersed in the truth, worship God, claim Christ as our King and Savior, do not grieve the Spirit, love all and put our trust in God.
Bad theology and borderline anti Semitic (replacement theology). If America is Israel, is the Jordan river the Mississippi? Is Jerusalem DC? God’s word says in the last days He would bring the Jews back to the land of Israel...not in peace, but in times of great trial...Jeremiah 30
bump!
The US and Britian in prophesy by Herbert W. Armstrong. Six million copies given to those who requested it. Still available free at the trumpet.com/literature. Read all about it.
Well....yes, except that it was a complete twisting of Scripture; which I’m not convinced deserves a lot of respect.
Thank you.

I believe that is the one, although when I saw it, the price was listed in rupees.
Uh, no. It is called supercessionism, or replacement theology. At its core it is virulently anti-semitic, and it’s roots can be traced to notable disgusting anti-semites like Justin Martyr and John Chrisostom. Filth, that has no answer for the literal intepretation of Scripture.
I read somewhere that DNA evidence disputes British Israelism. I wish I could remember where I read that, but I read so many different things.
It’s been posted on here before and refuted at least twice. It belongs nowhere but in the trash.
