where's south America or even the isle of man in the bible? Many say that the USA is there in the bible can someone give a scripture reference for it or is this just conjecture? I can understand when the word says all the earth but I have yet to find the USA in the bible.

I'll add one more reference, that I believe speaks directly to the America's as the location for some of scattered Israel.

Consider Jacob's blessing of his children prior to his death. Here is his blessing to Joseph and his seed. Note the bold verses especially.

Genesis 49:
22 ¶ Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

Now consider where the "everlasting hills" are... I believe they essentially run from Alaska all the way to tip of South America... longest mountain chain in the world encompassing everything including the Rockies and the Andes, which are all eventually connected.

Now, I know most here won't agree with my view, as I'm LDS and believe that Joseph's seed did inhabit the Americas in ancient times, but there's my take on it. Flame away.

You will not find it in there my friend.. it is not there.... because it is irrelevant to what is God’s chief design for the future. God has used this nation wondrously but we are just a nation among nations. We have to let go of our prominence in the world. We have only been on the world stage for about 300 years. That is a drop in the bucket compared with the ancient nations of the world.

Many try to force fit America in to the Bible as a square block in a round hole. I used to be like that.. but I just learned to let the Bible just say what it states and believe it.
