One of the most asked prophecy questions is, "Where is the United States in the Bible?" Most prophecy teachers say except "all nations" at
Armageddon, Scripture is silent on America (
Joel 3:2). However, the United States is in the Bible by many symbols, events, dates and results of our actions. God reveals his plan through quite specific details. Prophecy tells events of major end time countries. By the Second Coming, all nations fall so Jesus Christ reigns.
Nebuchadnezzar's Dream
Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and could not sleep (
Daniel 2:1-2). He demanded the wise men tell him the dream and the interpretation or die. Daniel and his three friends were wise men so they prayed and asked God for mercy (
Daniel 2:13, 18).
Nebuchadnezzar saw a great statue with a head of gold, chest and arms of silver, stomach and thighs of brass, legs of iron and feet of iron and clay. A stone broke the statue into pieces and it grew into a mountain that filled the earth (
Daniel 2:32-34). Daniel gives the interpretation. Babylon is the current superpower followed by four weaker empires. From history, Babylon is the head of gold, Media-Persia is the chest and arms of silver, Greece is the stomach and thighs of brass, Rome is the legs of iron and
Tribulation kingdom is the iron and clay. Jesus Christ is the rock that struck the feet and broke the statue. He rules the earth during the
Millennium. See
Daniel 2.
