Face it, no matter what condition Amerika is in during that last little bit of history the focus is not on the world but on Israel and those nations that directly interact with her in those last days. We are insignificant in comparison and really are not all that important to Gods plan. It really is that simple.

That is only true if you are limiting your definition of "Israel" to the geographic, material definition, rather than the understanding of "Israel" meaning God's chosen people. Christians are "grafted on" to those Jews who, hearing the gospels, formed the early church (Romans 11). America* having been founded on Christian principles, is a part of the metaphysical meaning of "Israel" (*in these days, "America" is the majority in this nation who remain Christian and constitutionally "Under God", yet are increasingly at the mercy of the tyrannical secular/fascist state.)


...Israel and those nations that directly interact with her in those last days.

In the world described in apocryphal passages, the "prince of the powers of the air" is active in the end times. In today's world of instant global mass communications, every nation directly interacts with every other.

Replacement theology is about as unscriptural as it gets. There is a very clear distinction between the promises of the God to Israel and those to the church and if you can’t tell that difference then you are either ignorant of scripture or intentionally twisting scripture to meet your preconceived notions of what you feel “should be” rather than what God’s word is actually saying.

I don’t think there’s a Christian majority in America, not anymore. We may have a majority who profess to be Christian, but if they were truly Christian, then we wouldn’t be tolerating abortion and homo marriage, among other things.
