THE PRINCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – WHAT’S HIS NAME AND WHAT’S HIS GAME?

In the Bible we can find that there are high-level angels that rule over nations and kingdoms.

Dan 9:21 NASB - while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, came to me in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering.

The angel Gabriel was sent to Daniel to bring him revelation as to future events dealing with Israel. Note that to Daniel,Gabriel appeared to look like a man.

Dan 10:13 NASB - "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

In this verse we find a fallen angel called the prince of Persia who is of greater strength than Gabriel. The Archangel Michael is called one of the chief princes and he overcomes this prince of Persia. We also note that the angel Gabriel is dealing with the kings, or human leaders of Persia.

Dan 10:14 NASB - "Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future."

The message that the angel Gabriel was bringing to the people of Israel had to do with “the latter days”, days yet future. In Daniel chapters 11 and 12 we find that this message dealt with a seven-year period of time when God was going to fulfill His covenant promises to Israel. This “week of years” ends with the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth.

Dan 10:20 NASB - Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.

Gabriel is in a battle with the prince of Persia and Gabriel adds that there is another fallen angel prince coming called the prince of Greece.

Dan 10:21 NASB - "However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

Here the archangel Michael is called the prince of Israel (Daniel’s prince).

What we can deduce from all of this is that there are high-level angels, both fallen and good, assigned to the kingdoms and nations of the earth. The question we are asking in this article is, what is the name of the fallen angel that has been placed over the USA and what is his game?

The Bible does not reveal the name of “the evil prince of the USA” but we can perhaps identify him by the nature of his “works”. Looking at our day and the prevailing evil influences in our country we see some obvious “works of the devil”. We see great deception involved in the election of Obama as president of the USA. We see deception, distortions of history, and even the teaching of evil in the education system. We see great corruption and greed in the business community. We see sex, pornography, and violence taking over the entertainment industry. We see the scandals of all kinds in sports. We see a great decline of morals. We see abortion, and the destruction of the family and the sanctity of marriage. We see the distortion of news by the media, and the blatant attack on true Christianity. These all provide ample evidence to identify the key works of this prince of the USA.

Given these characteristics, can we identify the prince of the USA?

Deceit, manipulation, control, lawlessness, greed, sexual sin at many levels, violence, the rise of the occult in many forms, and a general attack on true Christianity and Jesus are some of the most obvious of the works of this prince of the USA. What we see here is the spirit of witchcraft (manipulation, control and rebellion), the spirit of lawlessness, spirits of sexual sin and perversion, religious spirits, and the spirit of antichrist.

The Bible gives us a clue as to the nature of the demonic prince assigned to the USA. In the Bible we find a spirit called Jezebel. According to 1 and 2 Kings, Jezebel begins by manipulating and controlling kings or top-level leaders. Jezebel operates in five areas according to Rev. 2:20-24.

Rev 2:20 NASB - 'But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Rev 2:21 NASB - 'I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.

Rev 2:22 NASB - 'Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.

Rev 2:23 NASB - 'And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

Rev 2:24 NASB - 'But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you.

1. She calls herself a prophetess. She is a religious spirit and she uses perverted religions and religious ideas to destroy the true character of God. Often this shows up in the church as either extreme legalism or liberalism. In other words she distorts the Bible, deceives the people and manipulates and controls people with religion sounding/looking things and ideas. We can relate this to the spirit of antichrist.

2. She teaches and misleads. This is the witchcraft of controlling and manipulating people. She controls through deception, lies, intimidation, manipulation, and teaching others to do the same. She can attack not only the will but also the mind and she can bruise the emotions in order to control and manipulate people. Drugs and drug abuse are under her. The Greek word for witchcraft is pharmakeia which is:

1) the use or the administering of drugs

2) poisoning

3) sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it

4) metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry


3. She uses sexual immorality. Lust and perversion in thought and in deed are used to bring shame, and destroy relationships and Godly lives. Confession and exposure shuts Jezebel down for she says that no one sees her (Is. 47:10).

4. She causes men to eat food sacrificed to idols. This is in essence to participate in idol worship (I Cor. 10:18). This is satisfying the lusts of the flesh, giving in to the temptations of sin and serving self or anything other than God. It is compromise where we excuse our sin instead of just confessing it. It is compromise in order to meet perceived needs and desires. It is pleasing self rather than God. It is humanism. It is the fear of man instead of the fear of God.

5. "Satan's so-called deep secrets". This is the occult; occult powers are submitted to Jezebel. Astrologers and magicians are under her, and so is the New Age, fascination with the occult, etc. (Isa. 47).

The importance of all of this to us is that all of us are subject in the natural to come under the influence of the evil prince of the USA and his demonic minions. These spirits have been invited into the USA and we all are potentially subject to their influence. If we are true believers and “in Christ Jesus” we are protected from these influences because Jesus did indeed defeat Satan on the cross for us. But if we participate in any of these areas of influence without confessing and repenting we actually invite these influences (these evil spirits) back into our lives. If we are leaders of any corporate group of people we actually invite these demons into our corporate group be it a family, a church, a city or a nation. In effect the group becomes demonized. Just a quick, honest look at the USA confirms this.

With individuals, deliverance is accomplished through a process of identifying the doors that have been open for the demonic, confession and repentance, denouncing the activity that opened the doors, asking for forgiveness, making restoration when called for, and using our authority as believers to rebuke the enemy, bind him and loose ourselves from there evil control. Then asking God to fill “the emptied house” with His own Holy Spirit.

At the corporate or group level the process is a bit more complicated. First the leaders must close the doors they opened by their words or deeds. Then the rest of the group that opened doors through being misled and taught by word or deed must also go through the process of confession, repentance, forgiveness, restoration, rebuking, binding and loosing. Corporate deliverance is a difficult and often unsuccessful process. Sometimes only a remnant is delivered. The best illustration of this is Israel. In the end, only a remnant is finally redeemed.

Taking these thoughts back to scripture, we find that a key area of this problem is in the church.

Rev 2:18 NASB - "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:

Rev 2:19 NASB - 'I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.

Rev 2:20 NASB - 'But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

If the leaders of a church invite any of these demons into their church, very quickly the whole church will be infected. The result is disastrous.

Rev 2:21 NASB - 'I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.

Rev 2:22 NASB - 'Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.

Rev 2:23 NASB - 'And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

But there is also good news.

Rev 2:24 NASB - 'But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you.

Rev 2:25 NASB - 'Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.

Rev 2:26 NASB - 'He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;

Rev 2:27 NASB - AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father;

Rev 2:28 NASB - and I will give him the morning star.

Rev 2:29 NASB - 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
