PROOF: America in the Bible! -
12-09-2010, 02:06 AM
As we all know, America is God's favorite country. However, a lot of godless atheists try to dispute that fact with their silly arguments, saying that "America isn't even in the Bible" and so on.
Well, if America isn't in the Bible then how come that the state of Alabama is mentioned in Ezekiel 20:29? "Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day."
As you can see, this PROVES that God told the ancient prophets about Alabama and the existence of America thereof.
Furthermore this PROVES that God exists, since how in the world could Ezekiel have known about Bama if it wasn't for the guidance of our Lord?
And finally, this PROVES that atheists are stupid retards who can't read and hate America, WHICH IS A CHRISTIAN NATION!!!

You may want to read this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamah
Revelation 13:1-2 "1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."

For further evidence on this point...
It is well known that God wants us to be richly rewarded for our faith.
Quote:
2 Samuel 22:21
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
2 Chronicles 15:7
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
Psalm 31:23
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
|
The United States is the single most powerful and wealthy nation in the world. It should obvious to anyone with eyes to see that God loves America more than any other nation. We were founded on Christian principles, and Jesus has rewarded us for that.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Do not forget
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 8:18
and
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2
I wish I was so loved by Christ, I was an American

Yes, I realize that is what you were referring to but the Bible is clearly not referring to the state of Alabama.
I will first refer you to Exodus 3:8 which says "And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites."
Now you can see that God is talking about a "land of milk and honey" which God himself states is the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Now you should take a look at Ezekiel 20:5-6 which states "And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God. In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands."
Now, notice that once again God speaks of the "land of milk and honey" and also that in verse 6 he says "In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them."
Specifically remember that because it will become vital to remember in the next verses I'm going to show you.
Ezekiel 20:28-29 God states "For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings. Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day."
God mentions once again about the place he had lifted up his hand to give them, just as he did in Ezekiel 20:5-6. This place is clearly the "land of milk and honey" whose location God specifically identified in in Ezekiel 3:8. Then finally in Ezekiel 20:29 God asks the name of the specific place in the aforementioned "land of milk and honey" where the sacrifices were offered in Ezekiel 20:28 and the answer given to God was of course "Bamah."
So as you can see from the Bible itself, God is not referring to the state of Alabama but a place in Israel.
Revelation 13:1-2 "1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."

I would direct you to the post in the link below which was written by Heathen Basher who is obviously a respected member on this forum where he says "Scripture or it didn't happen." I was just following what he said which is why I used scripture in my previous post.
http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showp...&postcount=150
Revelation 13:1-2 "1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."

A bunch of claptrap and suppositions that don't exist.
Ezekiel 20 says that they are scattered in verse 23
I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
Verse 28 says that God gave them Israel.
For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
In Verse 29 Ezekiel asks a rhetorical question.
Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.
The Jews were going to Alabama. They must have sailed into the Gulf of Mexico and settled there.
Dr. Alex has made yet another brilliant discovery!
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Thank you for pointing this out, brother. That would be the most logical explanation indeed.
Let's also look again at the quote from Ezekiel 20:29:"Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day."
Notice the words "high place" and look what I found on this website on Alabama's geography:
Quote:
The highest point in Alabama is Cheaha Mountain at 2,407 feet above sea level. Cheaha Mountain, from the Creek Indian word meaning "high place" is located in Lineville, Alabama.

A coincidence? I think not.

I've found anti-Jewish statements all over this website. Why should where the Jews are going matter to the Christians?

Correct. The Bible MUST be referring to Alabama, for there are no queers there, simply steers. And guns. And rednecks. And alligators. And marshes. And mountains. And hot weather. And horses. And horse ranges. But no queers. Thank out good Lord for that.
Great theory, I must say.

America is really a God chooses country, unfortunately Libs, Medias, misinterpretation of the 1st Amendment and Supreme Court fight against it.

That just proves how devious Satan is, that he would try and corrupt a great set of four letters like "Bama" by sending one of his minions to occupy it. Is there no end to that old serpent's craftiness?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

This is obviously just a coincidence. 1 little city. 1 place. he never mentioned AMERICA, just 1 place in it. Do you know how many cities are in america? Countless. It's only reasonable that at least 1 city would be named after some place in the bible.
Its like me saying 'I believe in Astronopia'.
After WW3, people view my knowledge, and appreciate it.
Since they think I'm smart, and it's catchy, they name a new town Astronopia.
OMG! I KNOW THE FUTURE!

Well, TBH, you did start banging on about founding a city called Astronopia, which is not in the Bible (KJV1611).
I can honestly say that I have never heard someone not on drugs talk about that.
