What was the identity of the USA in Jesus’ day?

The second Beast is the false prophet. Neither the first nor second Beast could have conceived of anything as good as the US Constitution. And although the USA started as a republic, it is in one sense a Constitutional monarchy with Jesus recognized as monarch; there is no “turning into” something it never was.

Remember, the Beast even goes back to the prophet Daniel’s day, with the implication that it even went back to Nimrod. It has one character and does not change into something good and suddenly back into something bad.

No, you are correct. The Second Beast could not conceive of something as good as the US Constitution.

However the nation that preceded it as a lamb could. Revelations reduces the nation that is a lamb turning into the Second Beast that will be in service to the First Beast.

I believe that socialism will be the reason,because if America goes socialist, you won’t have the Constitution that has been a blessing to America and the world.

You are also correct this is a very old argument. Socialism may be a relatively modern name,but the concept of goodness by force goes all the way back to when God told Cain that whomever would strike him would be struck with seven times as worst a punishment.

Socialism is really man’s attempt at replicating Judeo-Christianity without recognizing the Creator.
