I didn't say because we are religious, I said because of religion.
While there are Christians worldwide, no country represents Christianity like America. The Muslims call us The Crusaders.
And of course, Israel represents Judaism, the Jews.
Now I have heard this theory (there are many theories), but it does make me wonder, that the last days are shown in the story of Joseph. Joseph represents Jesus, his brothers represent Israel, and Egypt represents the church, or Gentiles that come to Christ.
First, Joseph was betrayed and rejected by his brothers, the Jews. He was sold and went down to Egypt, just as Jesus was rejected by the Jews, and so Paul went to the Gentiles.
There came the seven year famine upon all the world in the days of Joseph. This is the same number of years as the tribulation. All the world went to Egypt during this famine.
Where did Joseph's family go during the famine? They went down to Egypt, just as today Israel depends on the United States primarily for protection. It is not so much the United States as a government that supports Israel, it is the "religious right" the Christians in America that supports Israel. But notice lately there seems to be a falling away of support for Israel.
When Joseph's brothers first went down, they did not recognize Joseph. They did not understand his words. But also, the Egyptians themselves did not truly know who Joseph was either.
But again, Joseph's brothers did not recognize him the first time they went down to him, just as the Jews did not recognize Jesus the first time he appeared to them.
But the second time they went down, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers and saved all the Jews. They were delivered out of the famine. But also, when Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, he also revealed his true identity to the Egyptians. And all the world was delivered by Joseph.
Now, I know this was way off subject, but it is an interesting theory that does make sense in many ways.
