Tribulation World Wars: China, Russia & Armageddon
The weakness with Afghanistan, focus on
Ukraine and depleting missile stockpiles bring war with China. Revelation 9 describes
World War III, a 200 million army that crosses the Euphrates (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey). China fights the United States and India during the first half of the Tribulation.
The sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice ... saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. The four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, day, month, and year to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred million (
Revelation 9:13-14, 15-16).
After Antichrist takes power, those in Judea flee as Russia and radical Islam prepares to attack (
Matthew 24:15-16). Israel strikes with nuclear missiles on
Damascus, Syria and
Aswan, Egypt. Ezekiel 38-39 describes
World War IV as Russian and radical Islam (Iran, Libya, Turkey) fight Israel during the second half of the Tribulation.
Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth… (
Ezekiel 38:3-4).
After Antichrist and the kings of the Far East/Middle East stop fighting each other, the nations unite together and gather at the Valley of Megiddo in northern Israel. They begin their attack on Israel and seize Jerusalem. When all is lost and Israel is at a dead end, Jesus Christ returns at His
Second Coming on the Day of Atonement, redeems his people, defeats His enemies and sets up His kingdom on Earth to begin the
Millennium.
He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (
Revelation 16:16).
The Fall of America & the World
During the three eclipses, we saw the writing in the sky as America's days are numbered (
Daniel 5:4-5). The United States is missing as a leader during the Tribulation. Since the Cold War ended in 1991, we have seen a sharp decline of the United States. Nature abhors a vacuum. Our allies and enemies exploit our weaknesses and plot to replace us as the world's lone superpower.
We have been the recipient of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in number, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God.
----US President Abraham Lincoln, Proclamation Appointing a National Fast Day, 1863
Just changing political parties, economic policy or society's morality will not fix the problem. America's economic crisis is a direct result of our rejection of God. That results in broken families, powerless churches, moral weakness and judgment from God. Only faithful Christians working together in strong churches have the Holy Spirit's power to change our communities and nation.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (
2 Chronicles 7:14).
Wake up Laodicean church! Stop being distracted by the world's system, know our time and encourage one another as we work together for the Kingdom.
