Where do you see the United States in end time prophecy?

In answer to the question, I don’t! There has been a lot written about why there seems to be no mention of the United States in end time prophecy including:
1. The United States imploding economically and becoming a third rate country
2. The United States will reduce its military to the point of being marginalized as a world power
3. There will be great destruction from an asteroid, earthquake or plague
4. There will be near annihilation due to war
5. The Rapture will take so many Americans to Heaven that the economy and society in general will collapse
The title “young lion” is a mentioned several times in the Old Testament and one theory is that it’s a reference to England as the lion and the United States as her young lion. I serious questioned this theory and did a word search of the Bible. In my opinion the United States just is not mentioned in the end time narrative as found in the Bible. However, we are a part of the gentile nations that the original and later day apostles were send to by Jesus and “The Great Commission.”
In my opinion, the United States is under God’s judgment for a number of reasons:
1. Our demonizing of Israel
2. Our demanding that Israel give up land given her by God
3. Replacement theology being promoted in some churches
4. The increase in Anti-Semitism
5. Our loss of moral compass
6. Throwing God out of schools and pretty much under the bus
7. Approval of abortions as being a woman’s right
8. Approval of the homosexual life-style and same-sex marriage
Now to be more positive:
1. Revival seems to be quietly happening across the United States. My place of residence, Quartzsite, AZ just ended a month of revival meetings
2. Many are joining Bible studies
3. There are many Bible believing websites readily available Online
4. Many are coming to faith across the planet
So bottom-line, I don’t see the United States in end time prophecy. My prayer is that this is due to the Rapture and not some horrific annihilation. Also, I pray that the many bread-crumbs left by believers will be found by those “Left Behind.” Hopefully and prayerfully the post Rapture time will find many coming into the Kingdom.
