Where is AMERICA in Scripture?

Salaam (Peace) to all.

For those of us who Believe in the Truth of the Scriptures, whether Bible or Qur'an...or Both, we know that both Books teach of a time period known as the "Last Days". Hence, we have a reference that was originally written thousands of years ago, giving foresight into the time of the end of this present era by the Judgement of God.

If we take these accounts as true, that the prophets were given glimpses of the days we are living in now -- the Last Days -- and the circumstances that would bring about the Judgement of God, and...

If AMERICA is the mightiest nation on earth in these "last days", then...

Did God leave America out of His Description of this time? Or, did He include His Description of America as the mightiest nation on earth in the Last Days?

And...

If God showed the prophets the last days, and directed them to write down what they were shown, then...

"Where is America in the Scriptures?"

"Where is the enslavement of millions of Africans by the most powerful nation on earth mentioned in the scriptures?"

Or, do you think God left that part out?

==============================================

"...the Christian Church in America can't understand why the greatest country the world has ever seen seems not to be mentioned in scripture, a scripture mind you, that has accurately labeled every major world kingdom with frightful accuracy and clarity..."

"What is even more scary than all of this is that the so called "Leaders" of the evangelical church are so desperately blind to what all of their teachings have brought about on the world stage! The absolute unwillingness of the world evangelical Church to place America in the scriptures, due to the fact that the only place it could possibly fit, is the great and powerful kingdom that arises, from which the Son of Perdition comes..."

"The truth is, that the Bible could not, in its amazing accuracy and precision, fail to mention a country like America. To believe that it could is a foolish and ridiculous notion, that no true believer in our great God could swallow."

"Exactly where is America in the prophecies concerning the tribulation?"

"...The first school of thought is that the United States in mentioned either directly or indirectly in the Book of Revelation...it is difficult, nearly impossible, to explain how a major superpower can simply not be mentioned."

==============================================

"We fear the doom of America that is now cutting her to pieces. The prophecy teaches us that her doom will come in one day -- death and mourning came in one day. One day means one year.

"Even after that she shall utterly be burned with fire. Divine prophecy is that America will suffer isolation from the nations of the earth.

"The Revelations of John of the Bible prophesy of America’s doom. America is spoken of under the savage name of a beast and dragon who will oppose the Messenger of God and all those who seek to follow him.

"Beast and dragon are the names used to represent America because of the nature and the characteristics of this people -- evil and haters of his Black once-slave."

Also, Why is it that one of the oldest recorded histories known to man - Egyptian/Kemetic History - has absolutely no record of any "Hebrew Slaves" in captivity, building the "pyramids", or making a mass "exodus" from that region nearly 4,000 years ago?

It is not necessary to be defensive about what I am saying or asking. I assure you, I value and read and study my Bible AND Qur'an as often as I can. So I couldn't be "attacking" the Bible...unless I'm insane.

I am merely posing questions about certain APPARENT discrepancies to provoke thought on the subject, in hopes of opening the reader up to the possibility of a more relevant interpretation.

There is a saying in Islam that, "One Learned Believer is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshippers." What is a Learned Believer? What is an ignorant worshipper?

The Bible teaches us to "prove all things", and to "Study to show thyself approved unto God...".

If we shut the doors of Reason in the face of questions that challenge our beliefs or interpretation, we cannot be considered "learned believers".

HISTORY is very important in the confirmation of that which we claim to believe, as is Nature and Mathematics.

If there is no HISTORICAL evidence of some account which we read of in the Scriptures, that doesn't necessarily mean the Scripture is false. It COULD mean that we have to look at it from a different perspective.

Suppose, for just a moment, that the account of Moses and the Children of Israel, in the Bible and Qur'an, are not so much "historical", but are more PROPHETIC. What would that mean? We could reasonably conclude, then, that these Books were revealed and written, not so much as an historical record, but as PROPHECY of that which would happen at a later time.

"What if" the ENTIRE ACCOUNT of the Children of Israel's sojourn in, and Exodus from Egypt is REALLY referring to the history of the Black Man and Woman in America (and the Diaspora)?

What would that say about the Future of Black People in America?

What would that say about the Future of America, herself?

These are questions that those of us striving to be "Learned Believers" must at least consider...because our very lives could depend on it.
