Yes, America will play a part in end time prophecy. Please read Revelation 13 in it's entirety. The second, "lamb like" beast is the United States, the first beast=Catholic Church. It's a deep subject.
I believe America plays a part. I believe it is the destruction of America in World War III that so terrifies the world that they will accept the antichrist as he begins to rise to power by bringing a false peace after the war.
No, it never has.
Scripture talks about believers being gathered to Christ on judgment day, not about a rapture at a separate time. (See Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4). Millennialism comes not from Scripture but from faulty interpretation of the Old Testament and Revelation prophecies.
The United States is very much the "reborn" Roman Empire IMHO. Just look at our society right down to the Eagle, mile markers on the highways, senate and house. Signs of Rome are EVERYWHERE in our nation.

If what God sent me will be as I saw it? I'd "run for the hills" if I were smart...but noone said I was smart..and I don't think this is what God meant..(for where could I run to?)..so I hang around here telling everyone I see who will listen...times will be hard...but God will be with us...Don't ever think He has forsaken us...and go out and spread His word.......and as I take a pause---thinking should I post this?....I think...oh well, I know what I saw....and I click send or submit....but then before I click submit I think "Don't I ever get tired of the ridicule?" Yes, I do...but I press on as God intended for me to do....with tears in my eyes....thinking why do some not believe.
Miss Sherry, please, you brought tears to my eyes. I understand and I'm not afraid to STAND UP AND PUBLICLY SAY SO!! There's a pain in my heart for those who won't believe! I understand! I do! Do what God has laid on your heart to do! Just do it! Forget about the ridicule. They ridicule Him too!
REMEMBER this my friend, and I'm typing it in color so yes, it will stand out: THERE'S NO TELLING WHO'S HEART THAT YOU HAVE REACHED WITH THE TRUTH! ONLY GOD IN HEAVEN TRULY KNOWS THE HEARTS OF MAN! ONLY GOD KNOWS! I HAVE FAITH THAT SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE IS WATCHING, SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE IS BEEN TOUCHED, AND CALLED AND PULLED AND TUGGED INTO KNOWLEDGE OF WHO................CHRIST JESUS IS!! SOMEBODY! I BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL!
So, I've said all that, to say this: Let's run this race my friend. Let's endure to the end. We're almost there! God Bless you, friend. I'm with you all the way to the end.

Yes Revelation 13 IS a deep subject, but I assure you the 2 beasts spoken of are not the USA and the RCC. The first beast is a political 'beast,' the second is a religious 'beast.'
Revelation 13:1 "And I [John] stood upon the sand of the sea, and [i] saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
'This is John's vision, and the sea that John is standing on and the beast is rising out of represents the masses of peoples of the world. This symbol of the "sea" being people is documented in Revelation 17:15. This "sea", or masses of people are looking to this "beast" [political beast] as their peace system. The "seven heads" are seven dominions of the people, or seven continents of this world."Horns" are always symbolic of "power". These "ten horns" are ten agencies, or units of power flowing from this beast, or political system.
Revelation 13:11 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
This beast coming up out of the earth looks like a Lamb [Jesus Christ], yet he speaks like a dragon; because he is the dragon [Satan].
Re 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
