May just be the power of Almighty God’s deliverance, as demonstrated in Egypt (emphasis-enhanced):
Exodus 19:4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians
and how I bore you on EAGLES’ WINGS
and brought you to Myself.

Yeah, or somebody even WORSE than Joe Biden / Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama’s puppet will arise.
Gotta hit the sack - thanks everyone for bumping the thread.
All nations will turn against Israel in the Last Days - at least against Jerusalem to battle (I believe this is Armageddon)
Zechariah 12:1-3 King James Version
1 The burden of the Word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the Earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a Cup of Trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a Burdensome Stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the Earth be gathered together against it.

I think these 2 are looking for the wrong thing.
“Lately, America sounds a lot like Babylon the Great, that “great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”.”
Can you cite a nation that is more “righteous” than the United States?
The United States government is operating illegally, not the majority of the American people. Kind of like the Mafia that is ensconced in a community.
But the United States is mentioned in Isaiah.
Might just be a turn of phrase (raining cats and dogs), or literal (the rare instances of raining frogs).
Is it a metaphor for swift flight from Egypt (fly originally meant to run swiftly, as swift as a bird)?
Is it a literal flight on an aircraft (with US origins/markings)?
I choose to hope we help the side of good in some fashion as best we can at a critical juncture.
How often does the United States fail to meddle elsewhere?
Then you must have a real problem with Jesus because He talked more about hell than He did about heaven and warned people that if they didn't repent, they'd also perish.
So you can accuse Jesus of fear porn all you want. Let us know how it works out for you in the end.
I suppose you'd accuse Noah, Lot, Jonah, Jeremiah, etc of spreading fear porn when they warned others of impending judgment.
I think they run at the Abomination that Causes Desolation (middle of the 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’
IOW the Great Tribulation
Matthew 24:15-16
English Standard Version
The Abomination of Desolation
15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A15-16&version=ESV
They flee to Petra in Jordan - no time to go back into their house and grab their stuff
Good point.
However, my suspicion is that the US has become so impotent and meaningless on the world stage, that it’s no longer a factor with Israel, although I do give some credence to the idea that Israel being taken away on eagle’s wings COULD be an allusion to the US doing an airlift to rescue Jewish people.
Maybe it's just me, but that's not exactly promising.
Time will tell
Luke 21:34-36

Yes, I’ve been saying for years, that we aren’t in Revelation because we’ve been rendered irrelevant.
“I AM convinced that whatever is left of America will be part of the Beast’s worldwide kingdom (Daniel 7:23) and will also be part of the Beast’s (Antichrist’s) war on Israel.
And the Beast’s armies try to fight against Him that sat on the horse - they will attempt to war against Jesus Christ at His Second Coming.
They WILL lose.”

So very true! And after those days, when the Lord Jesus Christ returns, having destroyed those who war against Israel, He will judge the nations as to how they treated Israel.
And upon that Judgement, MANY shall find that “replacement theology” originated from the pits of hell!!
Matthew 25:31-46
King James Version
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Not everything is about Israel.

Granted, it’s IMHO, but according to the Bible, as far as the Almighty is concerned....it IS.
Forget America! Why is Japan not mentioned in Bible prophecy? Or New Zealand? Paraguay?
Regards,
The United States of America? They couldn’t have imagined that such a place could ever exist. If they couldn’t have imagined it then they couldn’t have written about it (full stop).
Yes
The Messiah was prophesied there
The Messiah was born there
The Messiah taught there
The Messiah was Crucified there
The Messiah was Resurrected there
The Messiah Ascended from there
The Messiah will Return there
The Messiah will Reign from there
The world 🌎 🌍 armies will gather there
Armageddon will happen there
It’s ... ISRAEL
Central to Almighty God’s plan
🛐🙏✝️
I am under the firm impression that the USA will not be a player in world events when that event happens. The nation will either be destroyed by geographical disasters (earthquakes, volanic eruptions, etc) or by societal decay and internal strife, both of which we see happening now.
