I mean, seriously? The Bible is all about the ancient world and middle east and it's ridiculous to think it has anything to forecast about modern day America, or for that matter, the EU (the Roman empire reborn, ooooooh!).

"Lindsey noted that the prophets did not refer to the United States of America directly or indirectly. He concluded that this is an indication that the U.S. will no longer be a great geo-political power by the time the Tribulation of the end times arrives."

[snip]

"He noted again that there is no reference to the U.S. in Bible prophecy. He listed a few scenarios that seemed plausible to him at the time: (1) A takeover by Communists, (2) destruction by a surprise Soviet nuclear attack, or (3) becoming a dependent of the 10-nation European community."
