The Vision of Obediah

Futureman posted a question on e Jehovahs Witnesses asking if others there might understand Obediah's vision. Watchman replied that it was a prophesy about the Catholic Church. I read the vision about what was referenced to as Edom and Esau.
I feel the Holy Spirit taught me what the vision referred to.
Here listed are some points from the vision, and the interpretation I was given.

1. "You are despised very much".
The U.S. is internationally despised for it's gross consumption of fuel and raw materials, it's meddling in foreign affairs, it's general arrogance and apathy
for the rest of the world.

2. "saying in his heart "Who will bring me down to the earth?""
The U.S. considers itself unbeatable in military might, and monitory security.

3. "...make your position high like the eagle,..."
The U.S. national symbol is the eagle.

4. "if among the stars there were a placing of your nest"
The U.S. uses stars on their flag.

5. "the very men in covenant with you have all deceived you."
The nations make agreements with the U.S., but do not honor these.

6. "The men at peace with you have prevailed against you."
The nations engage in trade that is biased, the result is the huge trade deficit.
Now the U.S. is deeply in debt to those "at peace" with the U.S.

7. ""And I shall certainly destroy the wise ones out of Edom,...""
No U.S. government office at all seems capable of carrying out
a wise and sound function. No one has confidence in these government offices.

8. "And your mighty men must become terrified,..."
The U.S. continually notifies the world of any country
or ruler that it considers a threat, whether real or perceived.
Korea, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela,
El Salvador, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Russia, etc.

9. "In the day when you stood off to the side,... when strangers took...
and when outright foreigners entered his gate, and over Jerusalem
they cast lots, you also were like one of them."
In 1948 Jerusalem was placed under the control of the Arab states,
by the United Nations. Muslims destroyed most historical sites.

10. "And the exiles of Jerusalem,... will take possession of the cities of the Negeb."
This identifies the area south of Jerusalem, in a dry region.

11. Edom was south of Jerusalem, as the U.S. is identified as being the "South".
