Description
The United States of America is without rival in power and influence within its world. Many believe the closing of history is upon us; it is also clear that nothing can happen without America "raising it voice" in commentary with the world listening attentively. Prophecy is a phenomenon that has eclipsed all faiths, worlds, and time. It is not simply a religious curiosity but a human passion. People from conquerors to slaves have rested in its words for peace and reassurance. As the universal effect of prophecy is undeniable, one work alone has excelled all from those produced in the greatest of civilizations. The Jews small in number have long been a window between G-d and man and their prophets are without peer in effect on human religion and society. They defined social justice and the political lives of many nations casting blessing and curses on the least to the greatest of peoples. However, most theologians and commentators say little of arguably the greatest nation of world history insisting the scriptures are silent on the matter. So is this most formidable of nations mentioned by prophecy? Is the bible if authored by G-d, as billions have believed a source on its destiny? Or, is G-d silent? Mentioned here are prophecy and its effect on humanity. While the bible is covered all aspects of the divine writ from the Romans to Nostradamus is dealt with. an extensive history of this most extraordinary of "talents" is surveyed. As one prophet declared "knowledge and peace cannot live apart..." so humankind must know to be free. While the US has shown its brilliance and benefit, it also cannot survive without the knowledge and peace that created it. Such a journey to realize both is not too far to reach. It is a hope that this book can get you started.
