& America's Demise

“The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it,” (Daniel 7:4). The Lion (United Kingdom) with Eagle’s Wings (United States) could certainly illustrate the modern-day connection between these two prominent world alliances. Correspondingly, in the book of Revelation, the White Horse and rider with bow of military power and crown of kingly pride (Revelation 6:2) also symbolize the position of dominance that these two partners have held for several centuries. However, prophecy predicts a day when the Eagle’s Wings (U.S.) will be torn off. Devastations and terror will strike at the heart of the American government and our military structures in concert with other catastrophes, including social and economic collapse. President Donald J. Trump’s American prominence and sovereignty will be lost forever to global influences, and Satan’s final strategies.

America’s Jewish population is nearly equal to the land of Israel. America has long enjoyed divine protection against the evil powers in high places[1], even though many nations have desired her demise. However, this is changing.  The United States was once a nation built upon the principles of religious freedom and morality.  Even among the nonreligious, there were standards of decency and a respect for the commandments of God. Nevertheless, decades ago, a blight of corruption began to gain traction, which now permeates our society like cancer. Pornography is rampant, and adultery and homosexuality have been accepted as the norm. Sexual immorality is flouted in prime time. Innocent children are sacrificed daily to the god of convenience at abortion clinics.  Crime and drug use reigns. Misbehavior is unbridled, and nothing less than national catastrophe and a return to civility could halt the evil tide. God’s wise prophet warned long ago, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness,” (Isaiah 5:20). Sin and compromise now reach into our homes, churches and synagogues. 

Our citizens have forgotten God’s principles. “If you ever forget the LORD your God… I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed. Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God,” (Deuteronomy 8:19-20). Just after the Exodus, the Israelites thought Elohim would protect them as His chosen nation despite their national rebellion; after all, they had experienced a miraculous deliverance from Egyptian slavery. History proves otherwise.  Many Americans also believe God will protect this “Christian” nation, despite our own stubborn national apostasy. Not so. Our love for this homeland we call America cannot change the consequences of sin left unchecked.

When Almighty pulls back His defense and allows enemies to bring Americans to our knees, revival and reformation will result. However, public opinion may swing towards extreme measures to turn the tide of sin, calling for governmental regulations and religious enactments. Potentates cannot force religious duty or days of observance on the masses through legislative laws; this would breed insincere worship. Rather, individuals must be changed by faith in Jesus, who testified that His followers are not to fight for survival through political supremacy: “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36); but, is of the World to Come. Prophecy forewarns that Lucifer will give the government Beast, an amalgamation of many nations, “power… and throne… and great authority,” (Revelation 13:2), which will use force to demand religious obligations.[2]  We want no part of it.

America’s rise to global dominance and eventual collapse has long been foretold, although her prestige and predictions have been concealed in the symbolism of prophecy down through the centuries. Once the American wings of freedom and flight are torn off, Daniel states the British Lion, led by her influential prime ministers, will then be lifted to stand on “two feet like a man, and the heart of a man” will be given it.  When an animal (or animal part) takes on human qualities, prophecy is urging us to “watch for a personality” who will rise to supremacy. Daniel is introducing the False Prophet who, undoubtedly, will emerge from the British/American power base. Through miracles, the exalted prophet will assemble support for the Roman leader who will rise to world domination. The Man of Sin is illustrated by the animal horn later in the vision, that also takes on human qualities—the “eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that [will speak] boastfully” (Daniel 7:8), which is representative of the Lawless One who will reign supreme during the last days.

In the prophecies of Revelation[3], John introduces a creature from the earth with two horns (two countries). The governments seem to be peace-0loving and kind, but the political creature speaks like a “dragon.” Once again, prophecy is warning that from this two-nation alliance (United Kingdom/United States), the False Prophet will work miracles and set up an image of worship. He will demand that everyone receive the mark of the Beast to buy or sell. In this way, Satan can control the masses and flush out all who oppose him. 

On the heels of WWIII, global holocaust and the loss of our most basic resources, one of the utmost dangers we will face day by day will be acts of violence from fellow citizens, transients and gangs, one against the other, clamoring for survival in a ruthless display of lawlessness. We will need to depend upon our Savior, moment by moment, in a new and dangerous world. Some will survive, others will not; therefore, we much trust that Jesus has not been taken by surprise, who will one day stamp out this rebellion with speed and a marvelous display of power.Bottom of Form
