America is a Bible Land
By
Dr. Bertrand Comparet
All Christians know that the prophets foretold the future, and gave many
prophecies which are being fulfilled in our time; but it may be news to
many that the Bible even speaks of our own United States of America.
Not under that name, 'of course; but the Bible describes a certain land in
such terms as definitely identify it as the United States. However, part of
this has been concealed from all---but the deepest students of the Bible
by the unfortunate mistranslation of certain words in the commonly-used
King James Version.
The Prophet Isaiah, one, of the most deeply inspired prophets in the
Bible, foretells the future of a number of different nations. With one
exception, these kingdoms which were then important nations, were
competing with one another for mastery - over western Asia and the
Mediterranean shores. In his thirteenth chapter, Isaiah names Babylon,
and foretells its coming destruction- -even naming the Medes as the chief
nation by whom Babylon would be overthrown (although Isaiah wrote
this 176 years before the fall of Babylon); he also foretells that, after its
destruction, the Arabs would never camp overnight at the site of the
mined city--which is still true, even today. In his fourteenth chapter
Isaiah concludes his prophecies against Babylon, and names another
people doomed to be broken as a punishment for their evil ways--the
Assyrians.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth chapters, Isaiah prophesies the destruction
of another nation, that of Moab. In his seventeenth chapter, Isaiah fore-
tells the fall of Damascus. (Let us skip over the eighteenth chapter for the
moment; but we will come back to it.) In the nineteenth and twentieth
chapters, he foretells the destruction of another mighty nation--the great
empire of Egypt; and in the twenty-third chapter, he foretells the doom of
the powerful commercial seaport of Tyre.
( Page 3 )
All of these nations were pagan enemies of God's people, and God's
patience with their wickedness was near its end; so these prophecies are
all prophecies of destruction. Isaiah lists these nations all by name--for
they then had names, and were the important nations of their day. But in
the midst of this, in the short eighteenth chapter, Isaiah speaks of another
nation which he does not name, but merely Ascribes it. Unfortunately the
translators have sadly garbled this short chapter until its meaning is lost.
Correctly translated from the Hebrew, its references to this un-named
nation (found in verses one, two, three, and seven) read thus: Ho! to the
land of buzzing wings, which lies beyond the rivers of Ethiopia; "That
sends its ambassadors by sea, in water-drinking vessels upon the waters.
Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and. smooth-shaven, to a
people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation measured out by
lines under foot, whose land the rivers divide.
"At that time shall a present be brought to the Lord of Hosts: A people
tall and smooth-shaven, a nation measured out by lines under foot, whose
land the rivers quarter, to the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts,
Mount Zion.'
Now, let us examine this very unusual description, and see which nation
it will fit. It is not named--and as we shall see, this is for the very good
reason that, at the time when Isaiah wrote, it had no name, for it did not
yet exist.
The first strange thing we note is that it is "the land of buzzing wings."
Nearly all of you who listen to me can, at this moment, hear the drone of
airplanes in the sky. No other nation in the world has its skies so filled
with "buzzing wings," day and night, as our own United States.
Next, where is it located? Isaiah says it is "beyond the rivers of Ethiopia."
The rivers of Ethiopia are the tributaries which unite into the great River
Nile and flow northward into the Mediterranean Sea due west of Jerusa-
lem. Look straight west from Jerusalem, where the Prophet wrote these
words, and your line of vision will cut across the mouths of the River
Nile, across the north African shore, through Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and
Morocco--none of which can possibly answer any part of the description
( Page 4 )
of this nation. So we keep going on, due west, across the Atlantic Ocean,
and we arrive at the shores of the United States on the coastline of
Georgia and South Carolina.
Isaiah says that this nation "sends its ambassadors by sea, in water-
drinking vessels upon the waters." The American ambassadors can go
only to Mexico and Canada by land; more than almost any other nation,
we must send our ambassadors by sea--until just the last few years, when
we became able to send them on the "buzzing-wings." By sea, they have
gone, for most of our history, in "water drinking vessels"--that is, steam-
ships, which must "drink" great quantities of water for their boilers.
It is a nation "tall and smooth-shaven. " You have noticed how few
foreigners are of our height. In both World Wars, the United States Army
was the tallest army on record; and among them were few moustaches,
practically no beards. Today, except for the "beatniks," where can you
find a beard among us?
It is a "people terrible from their beginning onward"--and so we have
been. We were born by defeating the greatest power in Europe, the British
Empire--not only once, but twice; we whipped the North African pirate
kings to whom even proud Britain was paying tribute; we ended Spain's
long dream of world-wide empire; we won two World Wars which must
have gone the other way if we had stayed out.
"A nation measured out by lines under foot," says Isaiah. The United
States Metes and Bounds Act, enacted by Congress about a century and
a half ago, established the world's first system of surveying the whole
nation into sections and townships, laid out by the compass--which, even
today, most nations do not have -- truly "a nation measured out by lines
on the ground, under foot."
It is a nation "whose land the rivers divide, or quarter." The Mississippi
River cuts our land in half, from north to south; the Ohio River and its
tributaries divide the eastern half in two; and the Columbia, the North
Plate, and related streams, cut the western half in two. Where else do you
find the like?
( Page 5 )
Isaiah says, "All you inhabitants of the world and you dwellers on the
earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, look in fear; and attend
when the bugle is blown." Truly, we are "a nation terrible from their
beginning onward"; and when our battle-flags fly and the bugles call our
armies to war, the whole world has learned that it had better pay very
respectful attention.
There is no other nation in the world which will fit this entire description;
but our nation does. But there is still one more point: verse seven says:
"At that time. shall a present be brought to the Lord of Hosts: a nation tall
and smooth-shaven, a people terrible from their beginning onward, a
nation measured out by lines under foot, whose land the rivers quarter, to
the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts, Mount Zion. " This is no
pagan nation, like those of Asia and Africa; it is no atheist nation, like
those of the Communist empire; it is a Christian nation, bringing its
people, its strength, its hopes and ideals as a present to our God.
It has been proved to you that we are even today living in Bible times. But
it is also true that you are living in a Bible land, one favourably mentioned
in the Bible. The Bible is written about us, and written to us: IT IS OUR
BOOK AND WE ARE ITS PEOPLE.
