I believe the US will be destroyed in the first four judgments of the trib. War, pestilence, and famine kills a quarter of the earth's population, the US would fit right into that scenario.
Think about it: Russia invades the mideast. The US gets involved and China, Russia, and...Europe nukes the US destroying America completely. I say Europe because people marvel at tyhe AC saying, "Who can make war with him."
Satan knows how much the gospel pervades every sapect of America. If any country can recognize the rapture and what it means, it will be the US. Millions of Bibles will be left behind. I don't think satan will want an instant revival the moment the trib begins.
I think satan has definite lethal plans for the US. Thats why we are not in prophecy.

But I thought that the whole "prophecy" thang was made by prophets of GOD? and isn't the bible supposed to be inerrant? So if the 'prophets of God' left out explicit references to the US wouldn't that, ummm, invalidate the whole inerrancy thing?

I like it! It's got tragedy and drama. But it won't sell, because it's missing heroes and a love interests.
Let's try this: Jean-Claude Van Damme uses the space shuttle to push the ISS out of orbit and drop it onto Satan, pinning him to the ground. In the ensuing confusion, Steven Seagal runs up and breaks Satan's neck with a vicious slow-mo jump kick, then fights his way out one demon at a time (cause that's how they rush him).
I think if we can sign on Kim Basinger and Lucy Lawless as love interests, we'll have a winner! What do you think?
"Thats why we are not in prophecy."
No, it's cause the US didn't exist when the "prophecy" was written. France isn't in the propecy either. Nor Canada, or Argentina, or Belgium, or..

Or... mabye it was because that the writers of the book of revelation didn't have knowledge of north or south america? Hmmm I wonder...

Yes, because clearly there are no bibles outside of the US. None here in Canada, that's for certain. There isn't a bible rotting away on my bookshelf upstairs, or another one collecting dust in the basement. Nope.
What is this thing you call... Christ?
Hate, hate, hate the idea that America not being mentioned by name in Revelations somehow means that America needs to be wiped off the map for its prophecies to come true (scoff). America might just not have been important enough to mention, or have just been mentioned symbolically. Of course, none of that really matters, because it is not going to happen.
Fundies, please, when you rapture on up outta here take your goddamned bibles with you. We and 'stan' don't want them or your fillings, half eaten sandwiches, your undigested last meals, glass eyeballs, etc.
Oh, and the U.S. is about 5% of the world's population. God's got some serious smiting to do; the most work he will have done in 6,000 years. Or 14,000,000,000, whichever way you like to figure it.

Pride is a sin you know ;)
"The US gets involved and China, Russia, and...Europe nukes the US destroying America completely. I say Europe because people marvel at tyhe AC saying, "Who can make war with him.""
translation: "Europe will nuke us, because they sorta feel like it. What's that? Plot holes? You dare questioning my vision? Your ass is gonna fry!"
Europe nukes the US destroying America completely. I say Europe because people marvel at tyhe AC saying, "Who can make war with him."
Europe?
And GB normally is the henchman of the US, so that leaves France. Bad France, Bad Bad Bad, how dare you nuking gods own country
Actually, it's Sweden. They've been secretly hoarding nukes to blow the US off the map for ruining the reputations of all those nice Swedish girls with all that porn.
Oh and also to pave the way for surströmming to conquer the world. Once McDonald's is gone, it'll be a walk in the park.

So, how long until one of you Rapture Ready nutcases gets tired of waiting around for things to happen and starts plotting to speed things up?
It is just amazing when on one hand christians claim their god's omnipotence and believe that it was god himself who created satan, and then on the other hand assume that satan is a credible threat to the "kingdom of heaven".
So does that mean god wasn't even bright enough to come up with his version of Isaac Asimov's "3 laws of robotics"?

Yeesh, I guess "foresight" obviously isn't one of the ingredients for omnipotence. Wow, maybe that's why god made us, y'know so we could tell him the future, so he can make sure-fire investments in the stock market and the race tracks and get even richer. WOW, we are through the looking glass here people. O_o

They've already tried - fundie named George W. Bush.
1. War, Pestilence and Famine (Death as well) do stalk Africa aleady.
2. Why would Russia invade the Middle East? Not to mention "Europe".
3. Satan seems to be more powerful than God...
Or perhaps, just perhaps, it's 'cos America wasn't really around in Biblical times, and none of the Middle Easterners had gone there yet and discovered it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
