“We are watching the architecture of the world power change before our eyes,” Kaddis said. Meanwhile, Kaddis pointed to something he believes Christians cannot ignore: America has no clearly identifiable role in end-times prophecy. “Saudi Arabia has a discernable position within the prophetic picture,” Kaddis said. “The biblical picture that we see establishes America’s inconsequentiality, but it does not explain precisely how America gets there,” Kaddis said. “The prophetic world is taking shape,” he said, “and it is taking shape without any clearly identifiable consequential role for the United States.”
