Speculation that untold miseries and dire straits lie ahead for the United States of America, within the forseable future, would be consistent with the fact that biblical prophecy doesn't specifically mention it as a major player in end times. Incredible as it sounds, USA Autonomy may be neutralized as it becomes absorbed into the Revived Roman Empire (of Europe). Thoughts?

What makes you think there is any substance or credibility to the "end times" prophecy and do you have any particular reason to think it applies to what you refer to as the "foreseeable future"?

Fair questions. Since we're at opposite poles (with respect to the inspiration, infallibility and literal interpretation of scripture) with totally different frames of reference any serious discussion would be fruitless. I'm not here to argue or persuade. Intent of the thread is simply to invite relaxed conversation about possible near term scenarios since the new year is upon us.

None, only the all encompassing geographic blocks... Kings of The North; South; East; and West (which includes

I think, if anything, the USA is recovering at a faster rate than Europe. Look at Spain, Ireland, Greece. All in shambles economically. The European Union itself is in deep doo doo. The whole Union may fall apart. If anything I think a collapsed Euro will be scrambling to the US for help which at the present we have not recovered enough to be much assistance to an entire governmental union of Europe.

The sweep of history establishes, empowers, disciplines and disposes nations on its own divine timeline. Christ controls history, despite the power lust and greed that's inevitably present. He respects human volition. His omniscience and omnipotence allow for all of these human abberrations without the least interference or delay in the execution of His ...[text shortened]... ut rather relaxed conversation about emerging trends on the big stage here and now.
