The King James Bible contains
the history of Adam's family and prophecy from God from before the Garden of Eden
to the second advent. Why then, isn't The United States of America, the most powerful
country in the world mentioned in the Bible?
The answer is quite
simple, it is! The problem is that when the Bible was written, the contenent of
America was not known by the people of that time so the name would mean nothing
to anyone reading the Bible. In his wisdom, God used symbolism to describe most
of the "things to be" in His Word. By using symbols, people of the time
that the Word was written could understand it, and when the time was right, the
people of the future (at least "the wise") would understand.
Daniel 12:9-10
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till
the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made
white, and tried; but the wicked shall do
wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand;
but the wise shall understand.

Here are some verses
that mention America in the Bible, please look them over and I will explain them
afterward.
Isaiah 18:2
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters,
saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled4178,
to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden
down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

Isaiah 18:7
7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people
scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto;
a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled,
to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

Ezekiel 38:11-12
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go
to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls,
and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a
prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and
upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle
and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

To understand how America is described
you need to go back to the Hebrew for word definations and Hebrew customs fill
in the rest. For example, |
