Summary: "The United States in the Light of Prophecy" by Uriah Smith is a historical and prophetic exploration written in the late 19th century. The work seeks to analyze the role of the United States in biblical prophecy, particularly focusing on Revelation 13:11-17. The author posits that the rapid ascension and unique characteristics of the U.S. suggest a distinct role within the wider narrative of divine prophecy concerning nations. The opening of the book lays a foundation for its arguments by outlining the historical context of the United States, emphasizing its unprecedented growth from a few settlements to a world power. Smith discusses the prophetic implications of this development, posing questions regarding divine providence and the possibility of America's representation in scripture. He introduces the notion of the "two-horned beast" from Revelation, implying that it may symbolize the United States, and prepares the reader for a deeper examination of prophetic symbols and their meanings in relation to America's role on the global stage.
