Chosen Nation (3) Self Chosen

Some Christians actually think that the Kingdom of God looks like this.

They assume that God want the chosen nation controlling all the other kings and nations of the world. For many people, the chosen nation is the United Sates. God has chosen it to dominate the world to make it a better place. This view does not come out very well in the book of Revelation.

Johns Vision
John saw a vision of a Woman riding on a Beast. In this vision, the chosen nation is the woman and the nation that controls the other nations of the world is the Beast (Rev 17:1-6). The woman is Israel (Rev 12:1-6), and the Beast is a powerful nation that dominates the nations of the world.
