Remember those 80s sci-fi lite films, where it showed the year 2005 with flying cars and people living in space? I figure this is a similar case. The US will not cease to exist in 2007. We have much longer than that. Will the US cease to exist eventually? Certianally. Will there be a tidal wave in 2007 that wipes out the entire US? Almost impossible. I'd understand if maybe one of the coasts was taken out. If we lost the East coast to a tidal wave, it would be devestating (and plausable), but it wouldn't destroy the entire US. Even if the wave was impossibly high, there is no way it could sweep across the entire country.

Muhammed is a prophet. A prophet would bring prophecy into it. The Qu'ran is the word of Allah interpreted through Muhammed. Religious texts talk about the future and prophesize all the time. Have you ever read the book of Revelation in the Bible?
