Since "America" is not mentioned in end time prophecy, what do you think happened?

1. everyone in the world will die except americans....
2. And everyone in america will die except new jerseyans.
And by "new jersey", I mean "south jersey"... ;-)
3. The fact that they didn't foresee America should tell you something about their professing abilities...
4. Nothing has happened yet because Jesus Christ has not arrived to Rapture the Church
5. My theory about it actually scares me a little bit. The four horsemen of the apocalypse , Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, do quite a bit of damage to the world. The four horsemen of the apocalypse are said to have domain over 1/4th of the world.
So, I came to the conclusion that, if Conquest, War, Famine, and Death were ravaging a region, it probably wouldn't be doing much for itself during the time of the apocalypse. Which, as much as it bothers me to say it, may actually account for America not having a presence in Revelation.
6. America is mentioned in Daniel 11 from verse 45 as well as in Revelation 13: 11-17. America will create an image to the feast beast (kingdom) which is the Papacy. The image of the beast is when church and state come together, while the mark of the beast is Sunday Law worship. The mark of God is Seventh-Day Sabbath which is on Saturday.
7. I think Rev. 18 is a prophecy of its sudden fall, but I hope I'm wrong.
8. It is, America is symbolized by the "great eagle" in Revelations 12:14 and "The Beast out of the sea " chapter 13 and as Babylon the great, read chapter 13 it symbolizes the destruction of americas economy and the towers of the "great city"
9. (reads above) People are fracking crazy.
10. This is a very easy question to answer, will you listen? The Prophets were a product of the age of the Kings. It was the time that the Kingdom of Israel was about to end for all time. Most of the Prophets were speaking to the people who lived in Israel THEN, warning THEM
that their idol worshiping would lead them into disaster. And it was so.
The remaining Prophets were speaking to the people who lived in the Kingdom of Judea, warning THEM that God was going to punish THEM for the error of their ways. And it was so.
If a Prophet were to tell a Israelite who lived in 727BC about a country called America, located on a Continent that would not be "discovered" until 2,000 years in the future--would anyone listen?
Of course not. The Prophets prophesied for their own generation as the majority of Biblical historians will agree. And they would caution the gullible that it is absolutely wrong to use the Prophets to predict
events to occur in the far distant future.
I would add a warning to keep both hands firmly on your wallet when listening to an evangelist who uses any of the Prophets as though they were somehow speaking of events of today.
11. Jesus describes the USA as He portrays His judgment of Babylon the Great.
The “great city” in Rev 16:18-19 symbolizes the USA when it portrays all of the cities of the nations falling as a result of the “great city” being destroyed by earthquakes. The USA is referred to as a “great city” because like a city, where merchants go to sell their goods, the USA is the center of trade in the world. When the earthquakes destroy their market place or the USA all of the cities of the nations will fall as a result. (Rev 16:18-19) And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. {19} And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.
Rev 18:11, 17-19 describes the USA when it portrays that after the “great city” is destroyed by earthquakes all of the cities of the nations to fall because no one buys their cargos anymore; since all of the economies of the cities in the world are dependent upon selling their goods in the USA. (Rev 18:11) "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more. (Rev 18:17-19) for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste! 'And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance, {18} and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What city is like the great city?' {19} "And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!'
The name BABYLON THE GREAT in Rev. 17:5 is not the name of the great city, which is also depicted as a “great harlot” in Rev 17:1, as some would have you believe; but rather as it is clearly stated it is a mystery, which describes the place that the “great harlot” symbolizes. The mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT" describes the USA when it depicts the great harlot as that place which is like “Babylon of old", but much greater in magnitude. As the "Babylon of old", but in a much greater magnitude, the USA, reigns over the entire earth and is the center of trade for the whole world. In Rev. 17:5, the mystery, "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS”, describes the USA when it portrays the woman as that place which makes baby harlots or that place which all the nations are becoming like, which is commonly called "westernization". The USA is the MOTHER OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH since her corporations in a conspiracy to circumvent Christians have financially supported and rewarded politicians, judges and those who desire to change America’s morals and the worlds morals through the justification of such sins as masturbation, unclean heterosexual sex, homosexuality, premarital sex, adultery, abortion, pornography, and the removal of the rights of Christians through the teaching of the atheistic faith based doctrine of evolution in public schools, museums, park systems, government institutions such as Planned Parent Hood, colleges, television programs including the news, movies, radio, newspapers, books, magazines, the arts and the laws so as to remove by subversion the Christian opposition that these corporations have encountered over the years as they endeavor to become wealthy by corrupting and exploiting human sexuality. (Rev 17:5) and upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Rev 17:2 and Rev 18:3, describes the USA when they depict the woman as that country with whom the kings of the earth join with in committing acts of immorality in the USA and in their own countries in order to obtain wealth. In so doing these kings have corrupted their own countries causing their own people to practice these immoralities or become drunk with the wine of her immorality which as previously mentioned is called westernization. (Rev 17:2) with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality." (Rev 18:3) "For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality."
Rev 18:7 describes the US when it depicts the woman as that country which says that she will never see morning or can never be destroyed. (Rev 18:7) "To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, 'I SIT as A QUEEN AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, and will never see mourning.'
Rev. 17:1, 15, 17, portrays the USA when they point out that the woman is that nation which reigns over peoples, multitudes, nations, tongues and the kings of the earth. (Rev 17:1) And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I shall show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,
(Rev 17:15) And he said to me, "The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues. (Rev 17:18) "And the woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
Rev 18:15 describes the USA when it renders the woman as that place which immediately after she is destroyed the nations would still be afraid of her because of the military might that she wielded. (Rev 18:15) "The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
Rev 17:9-10 directs us to the USA when it describes the woman as that nation which is capable of sitting on or ruling over the seven heads or kings of the fourth and final beast. (Rev 17:9-10) "Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, {10} and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.
Rev 17:11 describes the USA when it tells us that the woman is that place which is capable of ruling over the man of lawlessness when he comes out of one of the nations of the seven kings and becomes the eighth king that the woman sits on or rules over. (Rev 17:11) "And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction.
Rev 18:21-23 explains that it is the wealthy merchants from the USA that have corrupted the entire world and have caused the USA to be judged.Rev 18:21-23) And a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer. {22} "And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer; {23} and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.
The judgment of the USA is executed in plagues including pestilence, mourning and famine followed by military defeat. (Rev 18:8) “For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.
Rev 17:12-13, 16 explains that the judgment of the USA is completed when the ten kings, the man of lawlessness, who comes out from among the ten kings and the seven heads or nations join together in a common purpose to destroy the USA with military force. (Rev 17:12-13) "As for the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. {13} "These have one purpose and they give their power and authority to the beast. (Rev 17:16) "And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire.
