That is what I find so silly about all this "prophecy" stuff.
Is this about Trump's wall?

Rev 21:17

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And HE MEASURED THE WALL THEREOF!!!!!

https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org...exceptionalism

The reason for so many Americans gobbling up the idea that America is the central focus of biblical prophecy has to do with the belief in American Exceptionalism (see link above).

Ever since european colonizers stepped foot on this contininent it has become shrouded with biblical terms like "the promised land," or "the New Jerusalem." Never before had white Christians seen such raw beauty in a land until they came to this continent, and ever since then the doctrine of American exceptionalism has been developed.

American exceptionalism has been the catalyst of all the genocidal raids that the American government has perpetrated on the native inhabitants of this country, and it has served as the justification for all of its wars since then.

America has no place in Bible prophecy. It never has, and it never will.

Well, there it is. My goodness, Bro. EB... you have found the smoking gun!

As silly as it is, there are probably people thinking this must be it!

But in all reality, if you read further down that chapter, you find that the New Jerusalem is the bride of Christ:

Rev. 21:9-10 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
So obviously any references to the New Jerusalem are referencing the bride of Christ. And any parallels drawn should be within that parameter.

Excellent point. Bible prophecy revolves around Israel and the church. Period.

How about Russia? China? The Bahamas?

Mikhail Gorbachev isn't in the Bible?

One must be able to understand what is IN the scriptures to understand what they say.

The Wall of Trump will border the USA, and so many say the wall will be measured in JerUSAlem.
