They reveal both the origins and the prophetic destiny of America and the British Commonwealth of nations, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Our free, 110-page booklet The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy charts the whole course, showing where we have come from and where we are headed. The final chapter sets out America and Britain's future, first severe national punishment but mercifully followed by dramatic divine intervention for the remnants of our English-speaking peoples.

Far too many present-day Americans, Australians, Britons and Canadians have refused to acknowledge the true God and the bountiful undeserved blessings He has bestowed on our nations. Many have even chosen to deny the very existence of their Creator and have instead accepted the false theory of evolution as well as secularism in general. Some have embraced a false version of Christianity, one generally devoid of obedience to God's spiritual laws.

Many prefer to believe that the awesome blessings of national wealth and power came either by chance or are the results of their own efforts. Like their ancestors in ancient Israel, they have chosen and are currently choosing to ignore God's patient warnings in the Bible. The inevitable outcome of such long-term, persistent behavior has already been recorded in Scripture (see Deuteronomy 8:10-14).

Many biblical prophecies portray the real repentance of God's people at the return of Jesus Christ to earth. Then Americans, Australians, Britons, Canadians, New Zealanders and South Africans will return to the true God. But only after they have suffered severe crises worse in many ways than the catastrophes that befell the ancient nations of Israel and Judah.

The latter-day deliverance of the modern descendants of the patriarch Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, has been recorded by the Old Testament prophets. Read just one example, this one concerning the Great Tribulation, which is also mentioned in Matthew 24:21 and Daniel 12:1: "How awful that day will be...It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but [after suffering through it] he will be saved out of it" (Jeremiah 30:7, NIV).
