Spoiler: answer is yes.
I have a theory I have been working on for quite some time and I believe I am 100% correct about this, but would be curious to hear any other opinions.
The crux of the argument is that the old testament has a lot of references to a final battle of good and evil which climaxes with the battle of Armageddon in Israel. The New Testament has a similar final battle, but instead of the world attacking the Jews in Israel, that new testament talks about the entire world fighting christians, and never mentions the nation of Israel. Those 2 versions of the end of the world have a lot of similarities, but some clear distinctions that are not able to be easily reconciled.
Now, add George Washington’s vision to the mix. He describe a similar final battle of good and evil, except in his version it is going to take place in North America, specifically the United States. You can view his vision here:

Here are the facts:
- The old testament makes many references to a final battle where all the nations
of the world are gathered together to fight against His people, bringing total devastation to the land but in the end God himself shows up miraculously to fight and bring victory. - The new testament talks about a final war where all the nations join together to fight against the believers (Christians), bringing total devastation to the world, before Jesus himself shows up in the clouds to bring victory.
- George Washington mentions a final battle where all the nations of the world are gathered together to make war against the United States and thoroughly devastate the land before a “heavenly being” appears in the clouds to bring victory.
So you have to conclude that all 3 stories are talking about the same event, or we have a whole bunch of very strange coincidences on our hands.
And if we are talking about the same even, how do you reconcile all 3? My belief is that with the death of Jesus, “Christians” became God’s holy people (instead of Jews) and he chose United States as his Holy Land instead of Israel. Is it hard to believe? Yes, but its the only theory that would fulfill all of the prophesies of all 3 sources.
