Regular readers of World News and Prophecy know we understand the modern nations of Great Britain and America are the inheritors of the promises made to the biblical patriarch Abraham by God beginning in Genesis 12. There God told Abraham to go to a far country and he and his descendants would become a great people. The details of the promise are unveiled throughout Genesis to Abraham's descendants, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob, before he died, passed on the promises to his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph.
Those promises, realized in our modern time, include abundant natural resources, great wealth and power among the nations. Fulfillment of those physical promises in all their fullness and detail is one of the keys to understanding the Bible, prophecy and God's limitless mercy with all nations and peoples. The apostle Paul understood this when he wrote concerning the physical descendants of Israel, "Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!" (Romans 11:12).
The proof of God's promises being fulfilled in these modern nations is a beacon of hope that the fullness of the spiritual blessings, salvation offered to all nations through Christ, will be fulfilled. Rejection of this vital key has led to confusion among all religions as to what God is doing today in this world. Our booklet The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy gives all the details of this story.
