I truly believe the U.S.A. is alluded to in the Bible, but I couldn't say where. Interesting question.

NO! When it mentions Babylon, it means Babylon. Do you know what would make the Bible absolutely infallible? If it predicted future events with the accuracy of CNN reporting on current events. Not leaving people today to interpret 2000 year old concepts meant for that time and try to apply it to modern events and states.

AD 1492. 1500 years after the First Century (the time of Jesus) and several centuries after a Bronze Age tribe of murdering desert nomads invented an invisible god in the sky. No, love, America is not mentioned in the Bible. Nor are Paris, London, Berlin, Toronto, Melbourne.

Yes, America in the New Zion, and The New Jerusalem.

This country was hidden from the world until 1490.

But the Vikings came here and lived here for a long time.

Every one comes to this country, it is like a magnet!

The most blessed part of the earth.

Yep. Daniel 7:4 And the first was like a lion and it had wings of an eagle watched until its wings were torn off. That was America separating from Brittany.

No, but as for Babylon I think we are headed that way.

If by America you mean the USA, then of course not. The Bible, which dates back thousands of years, predates the USA which is a relatively new country.

Yes, in the book of Daniel, it is referred to as the King of the South.
The Origins of the King of the South, and the King of the North are traceable all the way back to the ancient kingdoms.
The Bible book of Daniel has much to do with prophecy all the way the end of all human governments.
At 2:44, it speaks of the dream where at the end of human governments, the statue (head of gold all the way down the the feet of iron mixed with clay) is destroyed by the stone 'uncut by human hands' that rolls down and hits the image.
So indirectly, this passage also mentions America, though indirectly with all the other governments on the earth at the end.
How do we know that we are in the time of the feet of iron mixed with clay?
Read this excerpt from the book Pay Attention to Daniel's Prophecy:

28 Now that we are in “the time of the end,” we have reached the feet of the image. Some of the governments pictured by the image’s feet and toes of iron mixed with clay are ironlike—authoritarian or tyrannical. Others are claylike. In what way? Daniel associated the clay with “the offspring of mankind.” (Daniel 2:43) Despite the fragile nature of clay, of which the offspring of mankind are made, traditional ironlike rulerships have been obliged to listen more and more to the common people, who want their say in the governments ruling over them. (Job 10:9) But there is no sticking together of authoritarian rule and the common people—no more than there could be a uniting of iron with clay. At the time of the image’s demise, the world will indeed be politically fragmented!*

America is not Babylon. America is not mentioned in the Bible and the Lord has explained to me why.

What is recognized as a country or region, in the bible, refers to the origins of all tribes. Americans are not american, they are Irish,English,Indian,Mexican,Spanish,etc.....all originating in the old country.

America, as we know it, is not an origin. It is a sampling of all origins. So to know where you stand in prophecy, you'd have to know your origins. Since you come from many origins, most likely, then who knows. :)

Any great nation fits the definition of babylon in the bible... first it was Rome... the Ottomans, then Spain... England... now the US.

Its not hard to shoe horn any country into such a broad definition.
