The most unsettling thing to me is America doesnt seem to be a major player, even unworthy of biblical mention as far as I can see. What happened to the USA by the time the biblical prophecies play out?
Do you have any thoughts on that?
Do you have any thoughts on that?
I do. Personally, I believe that the rapture will take place before the tribulation and all the nasty stuff. Anyway, I believe that the rapture will be a major factor in the destruction of the US. If any country would be destroyed by the rapture, it would be America. It would be devestating. But for the Islamic countries, there would be almost no ill effects.
The Bible predicts that Israel will be occupied by enemy forces during the tribulation. Now if you assume that the US is no longer a world power - how does Israel then defend itself over a sustained period of time?
The Bible predicts four major concentrations of power in the "End Times," and today they would appear to be:
The EU
The Islamofascists
The Communist Chinese
The Russians
