Again 444x4 is another way of saying 1776.
Rev 12.4 "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."
The relationship is interesting . The nation born on that date happens to be the first to break with Christendom, 'Why do the nations so furiously rage together, and why do the people imagine a vain thing, to break the bonds and chords that bind us to the Lord and to His Christ....'
So many (Protestant) people in the US ascribe our nation with some sort of biblical virtue in prophecy - when in fact it appears the opposite is the case from a symbolic point of view.
What goes on in our insides, the desire for money, wealth and such, eventually comes out in symbolic forms as part of our defilement. I happen to believe the same is true of nations and their peoples - belly worship and materialism have given rise to something that is essentially a reflection of our sinful nature.
We live in a world filled with lying wonders, and believe in our science and technology - and that we are somehow invincible. The Bible teaches otherwise.
