The Case Against America being the Whore of Revelation

Some very dedicated and sincere Christians believe that America is the whore of Revelation. It's very easy to be drawn into that belief as I was from 1972 until this year, when I changed my mind.

Somehow the whole America the Whore and Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlots didn't jive. There were too many questions that didn't fit. Like, for example:

How can the US have "all the blood of the martyrs found in her"? (Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of the prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.)

Who martyred all the saints and prophets? America is too young to be charged with that crime. If you stretch it, maybe, just maybe America has killed a few Christians throughout their history of a couple hundred years.

Compare that to Jerusalem. ALL of the Old Testament prophets cajoled Israel for killing God's prophets. There are hundreds of scriptures on it which I won't site here. Ezekiel said "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not."

We have a defense mechanism that prevents us from accusing Israel of anything because we are reminded of what Hitler did during World War II. What Hitler did was WRONG. And antisemitism is wrong. That's a given. But, seriously, without stretching your imagination, isn't obvious that God has to judge Israel AGAIN? The third time is the charm, they say. But, this time is the culmination of the Wrath of God that God has been promising to pour out on Israel since Israel became a nation, folks.

Yes, America reigns over the kings of the earth, quite possibly, at least outwardly. But, who is actually ruling the world from behind the scenes? Have you done your homework?

Next question:

How is the entire country of America going to be destroyed in ONE HOUR? (Revelation 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come.)

If it were possible, perhaps one or two cities could be destroyed in one hour, but the ENTIRE COUNTRY? I believe if the prophecy in Revelation was about a country, the prophet would have used the word "country". He doesn't, he uses the word "city". In fact, there are only a few times in scripture those words are used together "great city" and in one of the scriptures, it refers to that "great city" as being Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. (Revelation 11:8) THERE'S A CLUE. In fact, this was the clue that tipped me off to start questioning whether America was indeed the whore.

Another question:

What are the seven mountains which the whore sits on? It just so happens that Jerusalem sits on seven mountains. (Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth.)

The ten horns that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and burn her with fire (I believe) will be Islamic nations. That makes sense because, once the temple is rebuilt, it's going to be a thorn in the flesh of Islam.

Can you imagine how the Muslims are going to react to having the Jews up there on Mount Moriah making animal sacrifices?

Speaking of the Daily Sacrifice, isn't that in itself an abomination to God? Holy cow! Well, actually, it's an unholy cow. It's an insult to God because the sacrifice for the atonement of our sins HAS BEEN MADE on Calvary.

As far as Biblical world history goes, really I don't see how North America plays a part in the fulfilling of prophecies, when she was only really relevant a few hundred years ago. For two thousand years, the Catholic Church has been ruling Europe! AND persecuting and martyring true believers. So, we have these two religious powers coming together now in the end of time to set up the world's biggest WHORE of RELIGION ever built! It will be opulent. It will be ostentatious.

The building of the third temple will be the glory of Israel, in the flesh. Out of this, God is going to bring a people unto Himself for Jesus. And, yes, Jerusalem WILL BE BLESSED IN THE END. Of course, first their temple and city will be destroyed and stripped, but then GOD WILL CREATE A NEW CITY for them and all His "gentile" children! He calls it New Jerusalem! And, it's going to come down out of heaven from God! Hallelujah!  

When you get the right puzzle piece, everything just fits snug as a bug. Besides which, Bible prophecy doesn't revolve around America. That's why I question the idea that Obama is the Beast or Antichrist. But, that's another story which begs research. So far, I personally have no idea who the Antichrist is, although, of course Obama is definitely pulling things together for the New World Order.
