The US-Israel Relationship: Blessing, History, and Prophecy

Where is America in Bible prophecy — and is the United States in the book of Revelation? The world’s greatest power is strangely absent from the end-time scene. A Scripture-first examination of the Tarshish “young lions,” the Babylon of Revelation, and the deeper lesson the silence teaches: that the God who raises and topples every empire has set Jerusalem, not Washington, at the center of His prophetic word.

A single sentence spoken to Abram four thousand years ago — “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee” — established a covenant principle that has shadowed the rise and fall of nations ever since. What does it mean for how the United States conducts itself toward the covenant nation of Israel?

He recognized Jerusalem, moved the embassy, affirmed Israel’s claim to the Golan, and brokered the Abraham Accords — yet later insisted he “calls all the shots” over Israel. Is he truly a friend? A measured weighing of the record against the warning of Scripture: “Put not your trust in princes,” for Israel’s only never-failing Friend is the LORD.

An American president declared that he “calls all the shots” over Israel and that her prime minister “won’t have any choice.” Scripture answers that it is the God of Israel — not any president, parliament, or coalition of nations — who decides the fate of His covenant people.
