Where Are the United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy?
The answer to this question is a major key to understanding Bible prophecies. It enables us to understand how many prophecies have already been fulfilled perfectly, and enables us to understand what to expect in the end time. First, let’s consider the story of God’s amazing promises to Abraham and his descendants: God called Abram (Abraham’s original name) to leave his homeland and to live a life based on faith in God and God’s promise of a glorious permanent city (Hebrews 11:8-10). (We learn in Revelation 21:2 that the city will be New Jerusalem.) God’s initial promises to Abram, at age 75, are in Genesis 12:1-4. When God said, “And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed,” He meant two things. Through Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abram, all people would be blessed spiritually. And through many of Abram’s other descendents, people around the world would experience physical blessings of peace and prosperity. As Abram showed faithfulness, God kept expanding His promises.
