Yeah cause the bible mentions the US all the time.

    It was a heavily symbolic write up of what was to come of the reign of Nero.

    Revelations, if taken for what they're said to be, a revelation of the last days, have a few items that are worth mentioning relevant to current events. -There will be a mark on people's hands or foreheads, without which one can't buy food. -A swarm like locusts will rise up and destroy stuff. -All nations will declare war on Israel.

    That's just a few excerpts from memory, that could very easily be understood to fit with modern context. Aside from Israel no countries are mentioned by name iirc. Note that Israel did not exist at the time it was written, it was the Roman province Judea.
