PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE: The War Against Terrorism that began with the 9/11 attacks in 2001 has become a world-wide battle, involving many nations. However, the primary focus of the U.S. retaliation was the Taliban in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. After an original occupation by U.S. forces there, and the establishment of a democratic Afghan government, the Iraq war and other anti-terrorist activities drew down U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Since then the Taliban has regained some areas of the country, prompting a new "surge" by US forces to restore order in the country.

There are no clear references to a country like America in the line-up of End Times nations, prompting many teachers to suggest that our country will have lost much of the strength and prestige that it once enjoyed.
