The facts are no dark skinned nations feature strongly in biblical prophecy.
This is despite the fact that in the year 2100 the worlds population will be mostly dark skinned.

The US is a nation of immigrants, unless of course you are referring to native Americans. When the NT refers to the "great" Eagle it is in contrast to other eagles like Mexico. So by extension that term is not merely referring to the US but also to Mexico. So then when you look at the most prominent nations in the Bible you have red, yellow, brown, a melting pot, and of course the most prominent one of all is Middle eastern. That is not to say that Egypt and Ethiopia are not also prominently mentioned as well.

None of these nations mentioned are descended from Cush.

You have taken this quote out of context. I was responding to Ohio who referred to the US as the "greatest nation". My point was that the US is on equal footing with a united Europe. Also, I do not see the term "the great eagle" meaning we are "great" but rather it distinguishes the US from other countries that use the Eagle as their national symbol, like Mexico.

The US, unlike Europe, Russia and China is not "descended" from anything, it was formed based on certain principles that I would argue are in themselves based on the NT. It is a country of immigrants. I use that term in as broad a sense as Ben Carson, including immigrants that came to the US in slave ships against their will. So in this sense we represent the people from the entire planet.

Also, it is relatively clear that the NT refers to the UN.

So if you want to argue the facts the Biblical prophecies include every nation from the four corners of the earth, every race, every tongue, every nation.
