I have read the article "The US in bible prophecy" and you are correct, she fits all of the parameters laid out in the Word of God, I have been a student of bible prophecy since the age of 12, my desirer to know the hidden things of God has led me through the years of research to such a conclusion, that the very nation in which i live plays a key role in the transition of things that are shortly to come, while reading through your text, it became apparent to me that u hold a pretrib rapture view point I myself do not, which leads me to this point, Jeremiah as well as Revelation speaks of God warning his people to leave Babylon, for a nation that will be destroyed in the manner that is prophesied, this warning is truly essential, I believe that there will be a spirt led exodus from America before her undoing, "Come out of her my people" I know that you might quickly retort that it means or could mean the rapture, I have time frame problems with such a view, besides I believe that the rapture and the resurrection are concurrent, nevertheless stay encouraged and watch and pray, may the Lord Jesus keep you and yours unto the day of His coming.   Lujac
