Prophesy about America found in Isaiah 18

America
Isaiah 18:
King James Version
1 Woe (Hey) to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled (Tall Clean Shaven), to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto (Never Lost a War); a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
(Measured out State by State-Divided by Rivers)
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. (You better listen when America speaks)
4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. (The Lord still rests here in the hearts of His people)
5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
(The Lord has blessed and kept us but He has also chastised us)
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.
The Lord still dwells here. There is no doubt this is speaking of America... God Bless America, Land of the free and the home of the Brave

Isaiah’s Vision of the United States
America is mentioned more than one hundred times in the Scriptures; It is in part where the 12 tribes of Israel was to migrate to, which would be their land and would no more move. As related in Samuel 7:10, 1 Chronicles 17:9.
YHVH has given America the task of spreading the gospel and goodwill throughout the world from its beginning. We have given more time and money to the rest of the world than any other nation in history. This is no accident and you would expect YHVH to include America in His Word to mankind. This chapter in Isaiah is rather obscure and just pops up out of nowhere. I believe it is not for all to understand its meaning.
YHVH would be remiss if He didn’t include this nation in His prophesy to us. After all America is the greatest nation in the history of the world and I would be more inclined to include it than to exclude it. I believe it is part of the new re-gathered Israel and we also have the old Israel in its original location. What other reason would we have for the greatness of this nation? We are part of the original promise to Abraham. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you throughout the world.
The text is in Isaiah where the "burden" of the various nations is given or as the margin gives it; "The Oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amos did see," concerning Moab; concerning Egypt; concerning the wilderness of the sea, or those nations of northern Europe where they have to dike out the water in order to till the land; concerning the valley of vision which is Palestine-Israel and Tyre.
A Land that had not yet been named
Right in the middle of these nations whose future is prophesied, is a circle of the known nations of that time, a country described and prophesied that had no name. It is in the context of each of these nations in the other sections, but these nations are all named. Here is a section devoted to a people in the future who had not yet been named.
Keep in mind there is no title mentioned. Whereas it is said of Egypt, "The burden of Egypt," and of Tyre "the burden of Tyre," there follows a description of a land that had no name because it had not yet been discovered and had not yet been named.

Isaiah 18:17
"Ho, to the land shadowed with wings,
Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
Psalm 36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea,
Even in water driven vessels upon the waters,
Saying, Go, ye swift messengers
Unto a nation tall and smooth,
To a people terrible from their beginning onward;
A nation that meteth out by line and tredeth down,
Whose land the rivers quarter.
All ye inhabitants of the world and
ye dwellers on the earth,
When an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye;
And when the trumpet is blown, hear ye.
In that time shall a present be brought unto Jehovah of hosts,
From a people tall and smooth,
Even from a people terrible from their beginning onward.
A nation that meteth out and tredeth down,
Whose land the rivers quarter,
To the place of the name YHVH of hosts,
The mount Zion."
Where a passage is translated without the translator knowing its meaning, you can expect to find faulty translations in rendering both the words and the context.
The first word is not a good translation. The Hebrew word "hoi" with which the chapter opens is not an exclamation of woe, but a hailing for attention, "Ho”, or even “Hey”." It is the same sense as in the 55th chapter of Isaiah, "Ho, everyone that thirsteth," and the whole point of the chapter shows that it should be translated in the same way here. The nation described is not one that is "meted out and trodden down." Here the tense is wrong. It is better translated in the Revised Version, it is properly rendered, "That meteth out and tredeth down." It is not "scattered and pealed," but "spread out and polished" or furbished. Its land the rivers have not "spoiled," but "divided or quartered."
Now read the text with the characteristics of the current America in mind. Also, keep in mind YHVH knew the name of America before it was ever named and He also knew the characteristics of the people of America and where it would be located beforehand.
                    What Is The Symbol of America?
“Ho to the land shadowed with wings” or literally “with outstretched wings.” What does this really mean? In reading many commentaries on the subject there is no way this is speaking of Egypt, period. America is the only nation started by Christians and even its legal tender bears the term “In God We Trust”. We truly live under the Shadow of the Almighty God.
It is claimed by one or two commentators that the expression may refer to the winged die which was the symbol of authority in Egypt. You can see it carved upon the monuments and temples at the present time; it symbolized authority in days gone by. Hence the Douay Version, the Roman Catholic Bible, interprets wings as the “winged disc” but Egypt is not the nation that is spoken of here.
Egypt is a base nation as promised by YHVH but it is rather insignificant in modern times. It does not send its ambassadors by the sea or waters. Its list of ambassadors is very limited. It may be represented in the United States and in England and in some leading countries, but it certainly has no ambassadors all over the world.
Dr. George D. Watson of California once wrote;
“It is a singular fact that this term; ‘Ho to the land of outstretched wings,’ expressing shelter for the oppressed cannot be applied to any other country on the face of the earth.
In the Prophet’s vision he saw a nation arise in the west, a power having a mission of service, but had no name, so he had to describe it as the land of outstretched wings. It was by Divine providence that the eagle was selected as the emblem of the United States as a nation, and there is a deep truth hidden under this symbol that America should be, in the providence of God, a land that should serve as a refuge for all the Israel people of the earth.
The eagle is symbolic with its outstretched wings like a mother bird gathering her brood under her wings. It was to have a government for the protection of all of God’s people gentile and Israelite, a land of religious liberty and freedom of conscience, a land that would welcome to its shores the downtrodden and the suffering people scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. We bless others because we have been blessed and we dwell under the shadow of the Almighty YHVH.
When the leading French statesman made his address of welcome to President Wilson in the city of Paris, he spoke of Mr. Wilson as being the representative of “that nation that stretched its wings abroad for the protection of Europe;” and Clemenceau unwittingly used the very words of Isaiah twenty-six hundred years before, probably knowing nothing of Isaiah’s prophecy, but so accurate was the fulfillment of prophecy that in describing the conditions he had to use the very words of Isaiah’s inspired prediction.
What is or national emblem? It is eagle with outstretched wings. Look at your quarters, half dollars or silver dollars and see the spread wings. Everywhere you go in the United States you will see this symbol. The Hebrew is very clear, “the land of outstretched wings” or “shadowing with wings” as in the Revised version. (Refer to Psalms)
While other countries have had the eagle in their national emblem, no other country has the eagle with outstretched wings. Mexico has an eagle with closed wings; Germany has an eagle with closed wings and a double head; Austria has an eagle, but there again it has closed wings. The United States has an eagle with spread wings; it is actually a “land shadowing with wings.”
                           Geographical Location
“Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.” “Beyond” in Hebrew means “west.” When we look at a map the top is north, the bottom south, the right is east and the left west. Not so with Jews or other Asians. They faced the sunrise. They looked eastward. “Before” meant East, “behind” or “beyond” meant west; his right hand points south and his left to the north, “Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia” meant over his shoulder; west. Imagine Isaiah standing in Jerusalem, facing the sunrise and describe the land beyond the rivers of Ethiopia and it will run north over Africa due west until you hit America, to the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia, “which are due west from Jerusalem!” This prophecy was not spoken of Egypt or of any part of Africa, but to a nation that was west of Africa; so that it could not be spoken of Asia or Europe.
                                  Ocean Vessels
“That sendeth ambassadors by the sea in water drinking vessels upon the great waters.” The word “ambassadors” means, men who travel on business for the government, representing the welfare of all nations and also the interests of America and the world. We are ambassadors for Christ.
Below is one of the worst translations in the KJV
“Even the vessels of bulrushes” or cattails or as the Revised Version has it, “papyrus.” The translators of the King James Version in 1611 came to a Hebrew compound word “water drinking vessels.” They had no idea what it meant so they looked around for something that grew out of the water and guessed “bulrushes, cat-tails, flags, papyrus,” but these are plants, not vessels.
Dr. Cummings, a competent Hebrew scholar says; “a water drinking vessel is a steamboat.” This is a much better description than a bulrush. Here is a prophecy about America which had its striking fulfillment in 1917-1918 when America sent over two and a half million people across the ocean, even in water-drinking vessels upon the great waters, across the Atlantic on business for the government to defeat an ambitious tyrant, and to protect other nations. Only one nation can fulfill this prophesy.
                       A Description of the American people
“To a nation tall and smooth,” literally “tall and clean-shaven.” One version renders it “tall and peeled”. The translation uses the word “peeled” instead of “clean-shaven.” The Prophet had a vision of men tall like trees with the bark peeled off; but the best translation available is “tall and clean-shaven.”
When Columbus came over here he found a people tall and smooth. The natives were the tallest race on earth and all without beards. In the late war America raised and equipped an army of three million soldiers at home and abroad, and those solders averaged more feet and inches in height than any other similar army ever put together on earth.
                                  OUR History
“To a people terrible from their beginning onward.” Did you ever hear of an infant getting up and beating its mother in the process of being born? Wouldn’t you call that “terrible from its beginning?” That is what the United States did, it whipped the mightiest nation of the known world in the process of being born. This cannot apply to any other nation in the world.
Look at our past, we have never been conquered (in war); but we have been conquered by Mystery Babylon) Isaiah stands in vision and sees an unconquerable people. We have fought with England, Mexico, with each other, with Spain and with Germany, and never lost a real war.
The Revised Version says “terrible from their beginning ‘and onward,’ but the original states “on ward to the end.”                        
The Metes and Bounds Act
“A nation that meteth out and treadeth down.” The literal translation would be the land measured out under the treading; that is, a land measured out by lines under the feet.
About the time that Florida and Louisiana were taken into the Union, and Ohio taken in as a state, the government passed a law that all public lands should be surveyed by the North Star, and a base line run east and west and all this land cut up into mile square sections. (Survyers)
Our map is like a checkerboard. These sections are subdivided into quarter sections of half a mile square, which is the amount of land allotted to our soldiers and sailors for homesteads. No nation was or has ever been so meted out in blocks before.
This is a significant thing. All the countries of the earth as in the division of the land under Joshua surveyed and marked their land by local boundaries. If you buy a lot or acre in England today, your description will begin with a rock or tree, or corner of a barn or fence and the portions of land will be defined by these local marks.
For the first time in history, the American government found a new way of meting out land by a general survey by measurements according to ranges with the north star. All the land in America from the western edge of Pennsylvania to the Pacific Ocean and from Canada to Mexico has been surveyed by lines of measurement staked off in sections and quarter sections. The state of Florida, which came into the Union about 1845, after the law of general surveys had been passed, is thus surveyed into sections. In Texas, which also joined the union around 1845, is marked off in squares, and there are still some Star Houses around, which were sections of land that were given to the surveyors for their work, instead of money.
                               Quarter by Rivers
The worst translation of all is found here. The old version says, “Whose land the rivers have spoiled.” The margin says “despise.” The Revised Version is better, “Whose land the rivers divide.” But the Hebrew word is the term used in the ritual of sacrifice where an animal is hung up and divided into four quarters. The knife cuts right down from head to foot and then across dividing it into four parts. This word should have been rendered; “quartered.”
Is there any land on the earth in Europe, Asia, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand that is quartered by rivers? There is not an ancient map or a modern one of the world that will show such as the United States. The Mississippi river takes its rise near the Canadian border and cuts right down to the Gulf of Mexico dividing “our land” into halves. On the western coast is the Columbia River. Follow it upward to its junction with the Snake River; follow that upward into close proximity with the source of the Missouri which starts in Montana and meanders eastward into the Mississippi, diving “the West” into halves.
Follow the Ohio eastward to Pittsburgh and its junction with the Monongahela that runs by McKeesport; then follow eastward the Youghiogheny where at Glenco, Pa., it become the Castleman; go on upstream until Wills Creek branches off and takes its source where the Potomac begins and runs to the Bay and the Atlantic and you have the “Eastern half” of the nation divided into two.
You cannot find any other land on earth divided in this way, into four sections: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest by rivers. This prophetic word can be applied to no other country than the United States.
                           Look Out For America and her military
Now comes a prophetic word more startling than any yet, “All ye inhabitants of the world and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye.”
Whenever America displays its flag and sounds the bugle of war, take notice world. We are a people that have never lost a real war.
