I don't doubt that the US could be in Bible prophecy. The past, present and future are all known to God equally. I've heard different ideas about what the Bible says about it. In fact, over the years, I've heard so many different interpretations of Bible prophecy, I listen, but I don't put complete confidence in anyone's interpretation. I know that a lot of big things happened in the 1930s.
I would be interested to see your timeline. Do you have it written anywhere?
I DO, -- but it's more important to know where GOD has it written. So if the angel is correct (
Dan. 12:4 & 9) and Chapter 11 first has to cover the sequence of world history, -- and we KNOW that
2:45 DEMANDS FIVE WORLD EMPIRES (
Iron, Bronze, Clay, Silver, Gold = 4,3,5,2,1 = FIVE) and Chapter 7 depicts the FIFTH "
Divided Kingdom" which consists of the THREE SUPERPOWERS: Lion/Eagle, U.K./U.S.; Bear, Russia; Leopard (actually a TIGER), China; and the "Dreadful" United Nations; then we can start to consider Chapter 11.
And where NONE can find "Darius the Mede" in the
COMPLETE Medo/Persian records, -- because he was the LAST BABYLONIAN KING --, we find:
Dan. 11:1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
Of course, MacArthur didn't need "
strengthening" when he took Governorship over Japan, but Hirohito DID need strengthening, and we wasn't even going to the gallows, -- he was simply under MacArthur. But Darius might have his eyes plucked out, be fed to lions, be dismembered while still alive, or any number of horrific outcomes.
Dan. 11:2 “And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia; and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has become strong through his riches, ....
So here we see the sequence of the FIVE World Empires, starting from Darius GOLD (is); 1 of 4 "more" -- Medo/Persian SILVER (arose in Persia); 2 of 4 "more" Grecian BRONZE (Conquered Persia); 3 of 4 Roman IRON (had dominion over Persia); and some 1,500 years later (and when he has become strong), the "Divided Kingdom" CLAY (
DID NOT arise or have dominion over Persia).
And at the advent of the CLAY we should find WWI:
Dan. 11:2 ... he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
Now don't confuse Stereo-Type with Geography. Specifically,
Dan. 2:39 says:
Dan. 2:39 After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.
This is a DIRECT REFERENCE to "
Greece", which is called "
ALL THE EARTH". So in
11:2 we can say: "
... he shall stir up all against ALL THE EARTH" -- which is WORLD WAR I.
But make sure you keep things in context:
Dan. 11:3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do according to his will. 4 And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
... because if I'm not mistaken, Germany conquered
South, West, North, and East, and not only
lost all FOUR directions, but had it's nation divided with some 96k sq. miles under the governorship of the
West, and some 42k sq. miles under the governorship of
Russia.
Scripture and History agree exactly as the angel (
Dan. 12:4 & 9) DEMANDS, but sometimes the wording is a little confusing. So it takes a little more effort, -- but in some respects, it's a constant theme in Scripture so that the religious will hear but not perceive. :)
