but the fact remains the same that the US is farther North than Israel.
I dont know why KantuckyII argues the case that it may very well be America that is the "enemy" that comes from the North. He makes the argument that America's President is the antiChrist, is against Israel and is not a Christian. I believe it is very very possible that someday, America may be that one enemy.
I do not say that Obama is the anti-Christ! I have never said that. At one point, I pondered it watching his followers fainting and such around him but I have never came out and said he was. I think he has the same spirit though. I do not believe he is a friend of Israel and, to provide an example, during the campaign he made three different shifts over just a period of days about his views on how Jerusalem should be controlled and who it belongs to. It would wildly vary according to the feedback he got on it and he was getting some heat.
As a Christian, I still believe the promise that God gave to Abraham still stands, 'I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you' so I believe it's very important that our nation to continue to be a friend to Israel, especially as we approach these last days.
Why do I say that the US is like an ancient Egypt? because...Israel, as in the days before the carrying away placed their confidence in Egypt defending them from their enemies, not God. They were warned to not do so and we all know that Israel was carried off into captivity. Today, I believe that Israel leans on the United States for their safety and continues to live in unbelief and reject their God who they are named for.
This army that is going to fall down on Israel is from 'the north parts' (I just would find it hard to believe that anyone could describe the United States as being from 'the north parts' when the United States is plainly the west) Anyway, this army is going to be massive, they are coming from spoil and they are going to be defeated by God Himself for the purpose of showing Israel, "So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward"
