Newly Updated: Is The US, And Great Britain, In End-Times Bible Prophecy?
It’s been said, the best place to hide something is in plain sight. And our Biblical identity is right there in front of us in the pages of the Biblical record. The entire New Testament is written to and for us, the House of Israel, the indigenous Christian nations of the West, in the Christian age. It is not written for any other people. Christ wasn't wrong or confused when he plainly stated, "I am sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel." [Mat. 15:24]. Yet where is knowledge of the House of Israel today? We Christians understand none of this because we’ve decided, for some strange reason, to reject that which Christ gave us. We’ve abandoned the love of the truth of the word of God. In its place, Christianity perpetuates the myth of a guy in a red suit with festive wrapped packages whizzing through the night sky pulled along by flying reindeer. And according to those who keep track of these things, we spend upwards of a trillion dollars a year to demonstrate our blind devotion to the Santa tradition. [Mat. 6:24]. Therefore, our eyes don't see and our ears don't hear. [See 2 Ths. 2:10-12; also the Sneakers article, Birthdays Of The Gods].
So, we are told, “The United States is absent from end-times Bible prophecy.” And we believe these hirelings. [See the Feature article, Trust the Shepherd, Not The Hireling]. This statement goes to the heart of our predicament, which is cemented in our profound ignorance. For some reason, many US Christian evangelists and pastors in all sorts of forums propagate this observation. But the simple fact of the matter is that it’s not true. Not by a long shot. This prophetic blindness comes about because of a simple fact we’ve mentioned many, many times before. When we don’t know our place in Biblical history, we can’t know our place in Biblical prophecy. As George Orwell noted, "The most effective way to destroy a people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." He couldn't be more correct.

Book Excerpts
We’ve all heard the expression that history repeats itself. And for both the House of Israel, the Christian nations, and the House of Judah, those Jews descended from Judah, and not from Edom, our modern day Zionists, our record of note is the Biblical record. As Paul pointed out to Timothy, “And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.” [2 Tim. 3:15]. The scriptures, the Biblical record is there for us to make us wise unto salvation. When unheeded, however, we are made foolish unto damnation. The prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Micah as well as those of the apostles including the book of Revelation all provide us with pertinent knowledge regarding our current day situation. A look back at our history can help us decipher the path we are choosing: salvation or damnation.

The holiday time of the year is filled with greeting cards that people send to family and friends. Typically, they have tranquil scenes, often with some snow on the front cover or they will have a Nativity scene showing the wise men with their gifts as well as some shepherds at the manger. Very often the cards will say, “Peace on Earth,” as did the one someone sent to me in the mail. Inside it said something about glad tidings, joy and peace on Earth at Christmas. But in looking at the past few years in particular, our world has been filled with wars in December ... Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Yemen as well as a long list on ongoing armed conflicts. [Wars and Conflicts; Video: US Wars]. In fact, after 2000 years of Christianity, we'd be hard pressed to find true peace anywhere on planet Earth. What's going on, then?
Was Christ lying? Did Christ come to bring “Peace on Earth” as these greeting cards and many in the ministry joyously proclaim every December, or not? Well, seeing as how this sentiment is attributed to Christ, let’s read what he said. In Luke 12, we read, “Do you suppose that I came to give peace on Earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.” Then in Matthew 10, Christ said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
