Is the UNITED STATES mentioned in PROPHESY?

Question

It says in Daniel that the "ships of Chittim" will come to Babylon
in the last days.
My research indicates that the Chittim were the Atlanteans, and
the Red race was the dominant race at that time.
They migrated to the Americas, Northern Africa, and Spain.
The Basques of Spain are said to be descended from Atlantis.
Bible "scholars" say they don't know who the Chittim are. But
the dictionary has a reference to chittimwood, which is a type
of American wood.
The Chittim, the land of the Red race, The UNITED STATES?

Answer 1

Interesting theory...

Answer 2

Chittim

or Kittim, a plural form (Gen. 10:4)

the name of a branch of the descendants of Javan, the "son" of Japheth. Balaam foretold (Num. 24:24) "that ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Eber"

Daniel prophesied (11:30) that the ships of Chittim would come against the king of the north. It probably denotes Cyprus, whose ancient capital was called Kition by the Greeks.

The references elsewhere made to Chittim (Isa. 23:1, 12; Jer. 2:10; Ezek. 27:6) are to be explained on the ground that while the name originally designated the Phoenicians only, it came latterly to be used of all the islands and various settlements on the sea-coasts which they had occupied, and then of the people who succeeded them when the Phoenician power decayed. Hence it designates generally the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean and the races that inhabit them.

Answer 3

yes but its a pretty long bible study ill say a little bit in rev chapter 12 there is a story of a women being persacuted by a dragon the women gives birth to a child and the dragon tries to kill the child the women is the true church the dragon is satan and the child is jesus the dragon also represents king herod who tried to kill jesus as a baby MATT 2:16 AND since herod ruled rome this dragon represents pagan rome as well. ok lets keep reading in REV 12 6 the woman fled into the wilderness for 1260 days in prophecy days = yearsEZE4:6 now we must find out what romen power persacuted gods church for 1260 years. in A D 538 a dcree by emperor justinian went into effect which assigned absolute spiritual preeminence to the church of Rome.So the pope ruled from 538 till 1798 1260 years of persecution of the saints the women. in rev 12 16 the same thing is depicted with the dragon casting a flood tweords the women but the earth opens up its mouth to help her ok the dragon is now papal rome the women is the true church and the flood represents a multitude of people comming against REV17:15 the earth then must be a place of few people ok this is were america comes in rev 13:11 says a beast came out of the Earth having two horns like a lamb a beast is a nation horns represent power and earth represents a low populated area what nation was rising to power after 1798 that wasnt very populated none other then america the two horns like a lamb represent are civil and religious liberty the women was thus helped by america because she was free of the power of the persiction of the dragon but not for long because america is going to speak as a dragon very soon in other words persiction is comming again so i pray you are gettig ready amen

Answer 4

There is also a vague reference in Daniel 7:4...

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

Besides the initial prophetic application to Nebuchadnezzar, there is the secondary quality to prophecy, yet reserved for the future.
Many scholars believe this verse refers to Britain (Lion) and that it's wings like an eagle represent the United States.

Answer 5

Hi greatlegislator,

I have a book on the prophecies of Daniel. It explains how the United States is involved with the end of this system of things. It also goes into detail with the King of the North and the King of the South. Do you read Spanish? I have it only in Spanish, but if you would like to read it in English I could make the effort to get you that information. E-mail me or repost if you'd like.

Answer 6

The Us is turning into a dictatorship from which could easily be a pawn to the antichrist. If we are dictatorship in the last name then christians will be slaughtered with ease. If not i bring up something I recall from a while back but cant remember the scripture which accomponies it. "Salvation shall come from the north" which of course could be north america or anywhere else lol.

Answer 7

greatlegislator,
I understand thaat Isaiah 18 is the place to find the USA in the Bible. As taught by Dr. Gene Scott. You'll have to get the details from his teaching though. I only heard a little and it was impressive.

Answer 8

That traditional view of Atlantis being somewhere in the Atlantic is pure myth. Therefore, anything else is suspect.

Answer 9

If it meant the United States, why didnt it say the United States? Why is all that bible prophesy crap in code, like a horoscope? Because its nonsense? Hmmmm?

Answer 10

excellent way to reason things out.
Specifically, no; America is not listed. In general, yes.
