The perception in the Middle East and the Arab World is that the United States of America, supposed leader of the free world and international superstar, is becoming weaker according to Avi Gil who is a senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute, who also said that America no longer leads as it once did but now follows or leads from behind. The United States has called for Israel to withdraw from land that is Biblically, historically, and strategically essential for the very existence of the Jewish state among the Arab-Islamic nations in the Middle East which would put the Jewish state in harm's way.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With America's superpower status in decline and the rising power of the radical Arab Islamic world, we can now see better the end of times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
The America that we knew 10 to 15 years ago is no longer at the peak of the pedestal as a world superpower and even the Arab Moslem world recognizes this as the case for America politically and economically. Much of the way that Israel is perceived is directly dependent upon its relationship with America. This report begs the question, where is the United States in Bible prophecy? Is it a superpower in the last days or not there at all?
The United States is not mentioned by name anywhere in Bible prophecy but it seems to refer to the United States and in fact all nations in Zechariah 14:2 when the ancient Jewish prophet wrote that at the end of the seven year Tribulation period, all nations will gather in Jerusalem. But before that, the superpower will be the Antichrist, the world dictator who will control a one world economic, political, and governmental system from Babylon in modern-day Iraq. This is foretold in Revelation 18. Under the leadership of Satan, Antichrist, and the False Prophet, this massive body of people will confront Jesus Christ as He returns to the Mount of Olives and then after the Battle of Armageddon, goes into the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to set up His kingdom (Zechariah 6:12-13).
Perception has become fact as America continues to decline in leadership and character in our world today. The prophecies of God's Word will indeed be fulfilled.
