"Is America mentioned in the
Bible? Learned and inspired men who have studied the inspired book of
Daniel and Revelations more than I and understand them better agree in
saying that the leopard mentioned in the Bible meant Grecia and the
bear meant Medo-Persia and the lion meant Babylon and the beast of the
text coming up out of the earth with two horns like a lamb, and the
voice of a dragon means our country because among other reasons
it
seemed to come up out of the earth when Columbus discovered it, and it
has been for the most part of it at peace like a lamb unless assaulted
by foreign foes. In which
case it has had two
horns strong and sharp and the voice of a dragon loud enough to
make
all nations to make all nations hear the roar of its indignation.
Is
it reasonable to suppose that God would leave out from the prophecies
of His book this whole western hemisphere? No, no.
"I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth and he had two horns
like a lamb and he spake as a dragon."
"Germany for scholarship. England for manufacturies. France
for
manners. Egypt for antiquities. Italy for pictures.
But America for
God."
