Harvest Christian Fellowship Pastor Greg Laurie offered a few possible reasons why the United States is not mentioned in the New Testament book of Revelation.
In a sermon preached last Sunday titled “Antichrist, America and Armageddon,” the California megachurch pastor examined a few passages from Revelation, including the battle at Armageddon.
After noting that the “two superpowers” mentioned as fighting at Armageddon are “the kings of the east and the forces of the Antichrist,” Laurie asked, “where is the United States of America in all of this?”
“It is a glaring omission,” he said. “Now, some people will say they know Scriptures that identify America in the End Times scenario. I don’t find anything of the kind. You can guess, but I don’t think there’s anything that’s certain.”

The book of revelation does not spell out in detail names of any country on earth. This is not news worthy.
No, obviously ancient names are used and via history we can trace where those regions are now. Just like Gog-Magog we can clearly identify Iran because they were Persia until the 1930s ( I believe that was the era)...Same with Russia etc...So no, they didn't name modern day names when the bible was written.
