I don't know what role the lord has for me in all this. I do know that looking at prophecy that the United States will play a big role. That there has to be a return first to a religions awakening and more then likely any persecution particularity of the Sabbath will come from the right not from the left and people will get a little get a little bit over zealous and then they will say see how much better things are now that we came back to god and we need to go completely back to him and we need to and you know they are going to go overboard.
Answer: The United States of America is never explicitly mentioned in the Bible. In regard to the end times, the only nation the Bible seems to be concerned with, specifically, is Israel. Revelation does not mention any countries or nations, other than Israel (Revelation 7:4; 21:12). It mentions Babylon (Revelation 14:8; 16:19; 17:5; 18:2,10,21), but beyond that, it does not name specific places. Bible scholars debate whether this refers to a literal city of Babylon or whether Babylon is being used symbolically. Again, Israel is the focus of end-times Bible prophecy.
Why is the United States of America never mentioned in Bible prophecy? This could be for several reasons: (1) Perhaps the United States does not play an important role in the end times. (2) Perhaps the United States does not exist any more once the end times begin. (3) Perhaps the United States is included with all the other nations that reject God in the end times (Revelation 10:11; 11:18; 12:5; 14:8; 15:4; 16:19; 17:15; 18:3,23; 19:15). Option (3) is the most likely answer. The United States of America is the biggest supporter of Israel in the world today. This might not always be the case.
The U.S. Isn't mentioned by name. There are references in prophecy to general locales and a few specific locations. Prophecy is becoming more understandable as we get closer to the End Times. This is something on which I really wouldn't become too dogmatic.
