This was all foretold in Bible prophecy. Russia will be the armies of the North. All of the world will be gainst Israel.
I’ve always heard scholars point out that the U.S. is not mentioned in the prophecy showing that we won’t be here. I believe we’re very close to “not being here” right now.
Rev. 13:11 talks of another “beast” (government) that was “coming up” (to spring up or emerge) “out of the earth (sparsely populated land) a “lamb” (youthful and peaceful intent) that “spake as a dragon” (that is with authority in a way that seemingly conflicts with its innocent appearance). The fact that there is little prophesied about the US would be because in terms of age of countries, we are on the scene briefly before things begin to happen that bring about the final conflict.
Obama is definitely an absentee President when it comes to the Middle East, …..which means we are an absentee nation.
