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 in Revelation 13? All the other beasts had come up out of the sea---waters. Revelation 17:17 said, "The waters which thou sawest is thickness and multitudes of people." All the other beasts had come up out of the water, thickness and multitudes of people. But when the United States come up, it come up out of the earth where there was no people. And remember, when it come up, it looked like a little lamb. Now, a lamb has two horns, and that's civil and ecclesiastical powers. But when they united, reme...

...the nominal church. Now up in here ... here is the sublime; here's where we're supposed to be, right next door to Heaven where the powers of God is leaking down. All right. It drops on this, drops down through to this one, then down through to this one. This is the nominal church, it just goes on, just on cold professions and a little ritualistic affair. That is the nominal church. They just get the very slight dripping. The next church, up here, Full Gospel, gets some of the blessings, but they go off into isms. W...

Notice. And don't you underestimate Jesus Christ, either, because He's the power over all powers. Don't be afraid of Satan, as long as you're in Him. But if you're not in Him, you better tremble. But if you're in Him, not even death itself can harm you. You're free from all fear. Oh, when I think of that, I want to shout "Hallelujah!" Amen. All right.

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...
