Prophecy - The United States and Ezekiel's Riddle of the Two Eagles
United States
The riddle of the two eagles is described in Ezekiel 17:2-8:
"Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
And say, thus saith the Lord God; a great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had diverse colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
I believe this passage describes two nations that are very similar in their relationship to Israel. The first eagle is "a great eagle with great wings" so it is a powerful nation. It is "full of feathers" so it has many people. It is "longwinged" so it is located far away from Israel. It has "diverse colours" so it is nation of people of different colored skins (black, yellow, white, red, etc.). The eagle comes to Lebanon and takes a sprig from the highest branch of the cedar: the cedar of Lebanon is used in many places in the Old Testament to represent the people of Israel (Lebanon was actually part of the nation of Israel in the Old Testament). T
herefore the first eagle carries a small group from the nation of Israel and transplants them in the far removed country of the first eagle. They are transplanted in a "land of traffick", a nation with a strong economy and are set in a "city of merchants", a city that is associated with trade. If you pull all these descriptions together of the first eagle it appears this parable is describing the United States and its relationship to Israel prior to the establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948. The United States like the first eagle, is a large nation far removed from Israel that is an economic power with a "melting pot" of different colored peoples. Prior to and after 1948 many Jews settled in the United States and more specifically New York City, New York which can be described as one of the world's largest centers of trade.
The phrase "he took also the seed of the land, and planted in a fruitful field" refers to the United States involvement in the establishment of the Jewish people as a nation in Israel in 1948. The phrase "it became a vine of low stature" indicates that Israel, at least while the United States is still powerful, is a nation of lowly stature.
Then along comes the second eagle. It is a "great eagle with great feathers"; it is a powerful nation. Israel relies on this nation in the same way that Israel relies on the United States now. Israel becomes a goodly vine, a very prosperous nation during this period because of the trade it has with the second eagle. This second eagle is Babylon, the nation of the antichrist during the tribulation, the "little horn", the Kurds of northern Iraq.
