The United States Currently Backs Israel. If It Eventually Powers Rome Worship, That Means at Some Point It Will Abandon Israel?
Yes. Prophecy shows a global turn against Jerusalem, so the United States will not remain Israel’s shield when it “speaks as a dragon.”
Scriptural explanation
- Revelation 13:11–17 shows the lamb-like beast rising gently, then enforcing a worship/economic system worldwide. That shift means it throws its weight behind a church-driven order, not Israel’s distinct witness.
- Revelation 17:1–2, 15, 18 and 18:3 show a religious power influencing “peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues,” with the kings of the earth committing spiritual fornication—global political compliance.
- Zechariah 12:2–3, 9 and 14:2 say “all nations” come against Jerusalem. “All” leaves no exception.
- Joel 3:2 says God gathers all nations to judgment for touching His land.
- Luke 21:24 and Revelation 11:2 foretell Gentile trampling of Jerusalem.
Simple clarifying logic
- If “all nations” come against Jerusalem, the United States cannot remain an exception.
- The lamb-like beast’s final voice is dragon-like control and enforced worship. That alignment will side with Rome’s image-system, not Israel’s protection.
- Therefore, the U.S. will ultimately shift from present support to pressure and abandonment as it backs the image to the beast.
Take courage: God will still defend His purpose for Israel in His time, but the nations—including the U.S.—will fulfill the Scripture.

Did you notice this United States is number thirteen in everything it does? You know it was established the thirteen colonies? You know the flag had thirteen stars in it first? You know everything that the United States does is in the number thirteen? Did you know it appears in the Bible in Revelations thirteen? Certainly does! The little beast, the lamb that come up out of water, not thickness and multitudes of people, ... not out of the water, but out of a land where there's no one. It had two little horns: civil...

And here the Bible speaks that the United States (we picked it up in prophecy) come up like a lamb---freedom of religion---and directly they united those things together, and he spake like a dragon and exercised the same power the dragon had before him. That's the USA! That's right. A minister said to me not long ago, a friend of mine, said, "Brother Branham, God will never let the United States fall, because of the basis of its forefathers, founded on religion." I said, "He let the Jews sure carried away, and they...

To think of this world... One of these days the howling winds are going to blow across this old world when it's blowed up with an atomic bomb, laying out yonder in the sphere of the sun, and howling winds a-blowing across, five hundred years from tonight. And there will be tombstones hid in that sand with maybe our names on them, laying yonder, whirling and howling, the winds of hot blistering heat from the sun. But where will our poor soul be? God, may this might be the night that some eternal destination is decid...

Now, you see, before Titus united the nations of ... his armies together, Israel united themselves together and banded themselves, that they would not believe Jesus to be the Messiah. They rejected Him, and turned Him out, and crucified Him. And then, when they rejected the salvation that was sent to them, they united themselves together to do it. (Now, hold that in mind: uniting themselves together, to reject the message of the hour!) They had to do that. And then when they did that, then the national sign come in...

Now, it isn't so... If you want to read it, now... we haven't got time. I was going to read it, but I haven't. Put down Revelation 11, 13, and 17. Now, there where beast is, the chapters in Revelation 11, 13, and 17, it's called "beasts" the same way. But the "beasts" there, interpretation is "t-h-e-r-i-o-n," therion, the word, Greek word "therion," which means "a wild, untamed beast." "Therion," that means "a wild, untamed beast." But "zoon" means, "a creature," see, "four living (zoon) creatures." Not the beasts...
