Here is an Old Testament prophecy concerning Moab and
the coming of the Messiah:

"I shall see him, but not now:  I shall behold him,
but not nigh:  there shall come a star out of Jacob,
and a sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall
smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the
children of Sheth" (Num.24:17)."

Recently the United States has developed a bomb called
the MOAB bomb.  Here are some statements an internet
search brings up:

The U.S. Air Force Tuesday tested the biggest
conventional bomb in the military's arsenal, dropping
the new 21,000-pound device on a test site at Eglin
Air Force Base, Florida, U.S. officials said...
Department explodes the Massive Ordinance Aerial Bomb
(MOAB) at Eglin Air Force Base test site ... as a war
looms in Iraq. ... privately known in military circles
as "the mother of all bombs," carries 18,000 pounds of
tritonal explosives ...The United States has moved its
newest -- and biggest -- conventional bomb to the
Persian Gulf region, Pentagon officials said
Wednesday.

The Moabites in the Bible were noted for sacrificing
their children in fire to their pagan god.

Fast forward to present day United States which is
noted for millions of unwanted "fetuses" killed in
abortion procedures.  Just a thought, but perhaps the
United States is the Moab referred to in the ancient
messianic prophecy.

The United States has also been compared to Sodom and
Gommorah because of its sins.  If it is also
comparable to Moab, there may be some similarities
found in this judgment of Moab listed in Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 48

Judgment on Moab

Prophecy Against Moab
1 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel:

"Woe to Nebo!For it is plundered, Kirjathaim is shamed
and taken; The high stronghold is shamed and
dismayed-- 2No more praise of Moab. In Heshbon they
have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut
her off as a nation.'You also shall be cut down, O
Madmen! The sword shall pursue you; 3 A voice of
crying shall be from Horonaim: "Plundering and great
destruction!'

4"Moab is destroyed; Her little ones have caused a cry
to be heard; 5 For in the ascent of Luhith they ascend
with continual weeping; for in the descent of Horonaim
the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

6"Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in
the wilderness. 7For because you have trusted in your
works and your treasures, you also shall be taken. And
Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and
his princes together. 8 And the plunderer shall come
against every city; No one shall escape. The valley
also shall perish, And the plain shall be destroyed,
As the LORD has spoken.

9"Give wings to Moab, That she may flee and get away;
For her cities shall be desolate, Without any to dwell
in them. 10 Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD
deceitfully, And cursed is he who keeps back his sword
from blood.

11"Moab has been at ease from his youth; He has
settled on his dregs, And has not been emptied from
vessel to vessel, Nor has he gone into captivity.
Therefore his taste remained in him, And his scent has
not changed.

12"Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the
LORD,"That I shall send him wine-workers who will tip
him over and empty his vessels and break the bottles.
13 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, As the house of
Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.

14"How can you say, "We are mighty and strong men for
the war'? 15 Moab is plundered and gone up from her
cities; Her chosen young men have gone down to the
slaughter," says the King, Whose name is the LORD of
hosts.

16"The calamity of Moab is near at hand, And his
affliction comes quickly. 17 Bemoan him, all you who
are around him; And all you who know his name, Say,
"How the strong staff is broken, The beautiful rod!'

18"O daughter inhabiting Dibon, Come down from your
glory, And sit in thirst; For the plunderer of Moab
has come against you, He has destroyed your
strongholds. 19 O inhabitant of Aroer, Stand by the
way and watch; Ask him who flees And her who
escapes; Say, "What has happened?' 20 Moab is shamed,
for he is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it in Arnon,
that Moab is plundered.

21"And judgment has come on the plain country: . . .
On all the cities of the land of Moab, Far or near. 25
The horn of Moab is cut off, And his arm is broken,"
says the LORD.

26"Make him drunk,  Because he exalted himself against
the LORD. Moab shall wallow in his vomit, And he shall
also be in derision. 27 For was not Israel a derision
to you? Was he found among thieves?  For whenever you
speak of him, You shake your head in scorn. 28 You who
dwell in Moab, leave the cities and dwell in the rock,
and be like the dove which makes her nest In the sides
of the cave's mouth.

29"We have heard the pride of Moab (he is exceedingly
proud), of his loftiness and arrogance and pride, and
of the haughtiness of his heart."

30"I know his wrath," says the LORD, "But it is not
right; his lies have made nothing right. 31 Therefore
I will wail for Moab, And I will cry out for all Moab;
I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres. 32 O vine of
Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of Jazer.
Your plants have gone over the sea, they reach to the
sea of Jazer. The plunderer has fallen on your summer
fruit and your vintage. 33 Joy and gladness are taken
from the plentiful field and from the land of Moab;  I
have caused wine to fail from the winepresses; No one
will tread with joyous shouting-- Not joyous shouting!

34"From the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh and to Jahaz
They have uttered their voice, From Zoar to Horonaim,
Like a three-year-old heifer; For the waters of Nimrim
also shall be desolate.

35"Moreover," says the LORD, "I will cause to cease in
Moab The one who offers sacrifices in the high places
And burns incense to his gods. 36 Therefore My heart
shall wail like flutes for Moab,  And like flutes My
heart shall wail For the men of Kir Heres.  Therefore
the riches they have acquired have perished.

37"For every head shall be bald, and every beard
clipped; On all the hands shall be cuts, and on the
loins sackcloth-- 38 A general lamentation on all the
housetops of Moab, and in its streets; for I have
broken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,"
says the LORD. 39"They shall wail: "How she is broken
down! How Moab has turned her back with shame!' So
Moab shall be a derision And a dismay to all those
about her."

40 For thus says the LORD: "Behold, one shall fly like
an eagle, And spread his wings over Moab. 41 Kerioth
is taken, And the strongholds are surprised;  The
mighty men's hearts in Moab on that day shall be Like
the heart of a woman in birth pangs. 42 And Moab shall
be destroyed as a people, Because he exalted himself
against the LORD. 43 Fear and the pit and the snare
shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab," says the
LORD. 44"He who flees from the fear shall fall into
the pit, And he who gets out of the pit shall be
caught in the snare. For upon Moab, upon it I will
bring The year of their punishment," says the LORD.

45"Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
Because of exhaustion. But a fire shall come out of
Heshbon, A flame from the midst of Sihon, And shall
devour the brow of Moab, The crown of the head of the
sons of tumult. 46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of
Chemosh perish; For your sons have been taken captive,
And your daughters captive.

47"Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab In the
latter days," says the LORD.

Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
 

Here is another Biblical statement that may apply to
those in America who are yet without salvation:
 
Deuteronomy 23:3  An Ammonite or Moabite shall not
enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their
tenth generation shall they not enter into the
congregation of the LORD for ever: (KJV)

The Bible also says "Today is the day of salvation":

2 Corinthians 6:2
For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you."
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the
day of salvation.
