I think the USA is known as the eagle in the scriptures in Revelation, and I can't find my Strong's reference - what verse does it tell us that the Eagle will come to Israel's aid (at the right time) for the rest of the prophecy to be fulfilled and the Temple is rebuilt on the temple mount? Thank you for this help. Our local library and church library are both closed now. I appreciate your help in this. <><

Translation errors. Some versions of the bible say "eagle" and some say "angel." To resolve the error, we must go to the earliest version (Greek, in this case) and consult the experts in the Greek language. It does no good for an American, pushing the "American eagle" agenda, to stroke the egos of Americans by mistranslating God's words. The Greek version (the older and correct version) says that it is "angel" not "eagle." An eagle is a type of vulture. America is mentioned in Revelation. Much of Revelation is a warning not to attack Iraq. The bible says that Iraq was attacked twice, once by the Dragon (President George H. W. Bush), and once again by the Beast (President George W. Bush). According to the bible, the Beast was the son of the Dragon, born of the mouth of the Dragon (I don't want to get into the sexual details of that). According to Revelation 17.18, the richest and most powerful nation in the world (United States of America) will attack Iraq, and occupy Iraq, and corrupt Iraq. According to the bible, this powerful nation is called the Whore of Babylon because it corrupted the country. Indeed, American soldiers have raped their women and the US military has denied these charges and refused to identify where the soldiers were from. America insisted that birkhas not be worn, but hiding their faces is more important than walking around naked, in their culture. America altered the elections of Iraq, making sure that anti-Americans were not allowed to run for office. The bible said that America was known for sexual promiscuity (Clinton/Monica), and know for pearl necklaces (like the simple pearl necklace of Barbara Bush, that the Bush presidents were so proud of). According to the bible, the Dragon and the Beast have souls of demons from the smokey bottomless pit of hell (Revelation describes the smoke). According to Revelation, the Whore of Babylon will form a coalition of many nations in mere hours (ridiculous thousands of years ago when the prediction was made in the bible, because they didn't have modern communications). Yet, this coalition was indeed formed. Revelation describes tank and mortar fire (flames streaked through the heavens). If you are trying to find Satan, look for the greed trail and look for the blood trail. One million Iraqis were murdered in Iraq, which was innocent of terrorism, and a torture camp was set up in Guantanamo, Cuba. God was right, W. Bush was wrong.

Here I am! I am the Holy Bible in hand, do you refer to the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 17?
Ezekiel 17.
17 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
16 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it.
22 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it.

There is no eagle mentioned in Revelation.
nor is there any mention in Revelation of any animal coming to the aid of Israel.
