Through the Eyes of A Prophet

Why does the most powerful nation on earth seem hidden within the pages of Bible prophecy? Since America plays such an influential role in global and geopolitical affairs, many have wondered why end-time prophecy does not identify the United States. Yet within the writings of the ancient prophet Obadiah, there may be clues that point directly toward America. Historically, Obadiah’s message were oracles against the descendants of Esau-the Edomites-and those prophecies found fulfillment in the judgment that came upon Edom. However, the prophecy also appears to move beyond history and look forward to the 'Day of the Lord.' Therefore, Obadiah is not only historical but also prophetic. From this future-focused perspective, what Obadiah declared against Edom in its ancient context may bear a striking resemblance to America in a contemporary sense. This book examines Obadiah’s prophecy through the lens of America’s rise, pride, military strength, global influence, and presence in outer space, asking whether the warning once spoken over Edom may also echo over a modern superpower. When a nation says in its heart, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?' the Lord answers, 'Even if you were to soar high like an eagle, even if you were to make your nest among the stars, I can bring you down even from there!' says the Lord. Could America be standing beneath that prophetic warning? If so, is there still time to turn this nation around? In the end, what will America’s future be, and what role will it play in the end times? 'Through the eyes of a prophet, America’s future could be unveiled.'
