Pixie here are some scriptures and writings regarding the interpretations of said writings hopefully this is what you are referring to and you do seem to be right about the US we will be around though maybe not in a militaristic way.
Perhaps the strongest case for America in Bible prophecy can be made from a statement found in Ezekiel 38:13.


" Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its villages, will say to you, ' Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?' " (Ezekiel 38:13)

It is argued that " the merchants of Tarshish, with all its villages," refers to the colonies of Western Europe and the nations that have subsequently arisen from them. This would include North America and the United States. Thus, the response to the invasion of Magog into Israel from Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and its villages will be one of nonintervention. They will simply say, " Have you come to capture spoil?"

Who are Sheba and Dedan? " Sheba and Dedan are not difficult to identify. They are located in the modern country of Saudi Arabia." [5] Sheba and Dedan are said to be in alignment with " the merchants of Tarshish, with all its villages."

The identity of " the merchants of Tarshish, with all its villages," is the key phase for those who believe this to be a reference to America. What are the arguments for this interpretation?

First, merchants of Tarshish refer to the Phoenician maritime and trading community located in Spain during the general time of King Solomon, 3,000 years ago. Second, the merchants of Tarshish, during the last 500 years, developed into the modern mercantile nations of Western Europe like Spain, Holland, and Britain. Third, the phrase " with all its villages" or the variant rendering " with all its young lions," would be a reference to its trans-Atlantic colonies, which would include America. Thus, it is reasoned, because America is the most dominant of these Western nations, this must be a reference to America.

This view is strongly espoused by Steuart McBirnie, who concluded:


In the light of such conclusive scholarship, coming to light most significantly at this time when the nations indicated by Ezekiel to be involved in a great Middle Eastern war, we can now say with definite assurance that the merchants of Tarshish and " the young lions (colonies) thereof" must include the Western nations of Europe and the Americans, particularly the United States.[6]


David Allen Lewis agrees:


So the young lions of Tarshish would definitely refer to the North American colonies as well as the European colonies, and hence bring the U. S. into this prophecy as one of the nations that will strongly protest the Russian invasion of Israel in the last days.[7]

How valid is such an explanation of this passage? We will now examine the viability of the individual elements in this view and then assess the overall interpretation.


The Merchants of Tarshish

What does the phrase " the merchants of Tarshish" mean? Tarshish appears to be a wealthy trading community on the extremity of the Mediterranean world. " Tarshish is ancient Tartessus in the present-day nation of Spain. This view is supported by standard Hebrew language reference books..[8] One work states:


We read often in the OT of " ships of Tarshish" which were large, oceangoing vessels (Ezk 27:25) that carried all sorts of precious cargo, especially metals such as silver and gold (I Kgs 10:22; 22:48; II Chr 9:21; Isa 60:9; Jer 10:9; Ezk 38:13) as well as iron, tin, and lead (Ezk 27:12).[9]

Boehner has no backbone and is in the same boat with the other "established" politicians in DC.
Everyone in their cushy positions want to remain there and continue to receive those great wages we supply them with.
They don't want to change their lifestyle by bowing down to the citizens....but they do want to rule us without us questioning their authority and therefore they have to put on this little stage-show to keep the sheeple confused and divided....as you are.[/quote



Move out of the country is the best thing you teatards could do for America....I'd suggest Iran for all of you teabagging idiots? :thumbup:[/quote]



Move out of this country?

Isn't it about time for you to post another conspiracy? :lol: :lol: :lol:

..Best you've got, Huh ? You may be satisfied with a treasonous POS, but we Patriots will find a way to dispose of him. Preferably outside the USA, so he can't stink up our country any longer than necessary. Why don't you volunteer to continue polishing his boots after we kick him out--you can all go to Kenya !

To, Retired669, You put us into the non-thinking camp, well you preach communism and socialism which has been a failure everyplace it's been tried. Einstein had a theory about people like you, he said that doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results is sign of insanity, and that is the camp you belong in. Secondly this country was founded upon the Judeo-Christian principles not on socialist ideas, if our Constitution is not good enough for you nobody is stopping you from leaving. China, North Korea, and Cuba might be happy to take you in.

Why is the left so infatuated with the idea that we don't like Obama because he is black? I don't understand. I wouldn't like Obama in any color even white. It's not the color its the policies. I would love to have Dr. Ben Carson as president and he is black. We have other blacks in various offices around America that would be fine as a president. We also don't disrespect the office of President but as the radical left hated George Bush because of his supposed policies the right hates Obama because of his policies.

Sorry dude....but to you and your insult posse, the truth will ALWAYS be mind-bending and "un"believable to your brainwashed minds.
God help you.

Retired669

Yes you and your Christian flock should leave America ASAP. Us communists and socialists have no use for patriots like yourselves.
