The Threat from the East: Understanding China’s Role in the Biblical Prophecy
As the global landscape evolves, one fact remains clear: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) poses one of the most significant threats to American interests and values today.
This alarming assessment is echoed by many, including officials at the U.S. State Department, which cites China's defiance of international sanctions and its role in the opioid crisis, contributing to the deaths of over 100,000 Americans each year.
But what if there’s more at stake than just geopolitics? Joel Rosenberg, a prominent figure in evangelical circles, argues that biblical prophecy offers a compelling window into China's future.
During his recent sermon at Cornerstone Chapel in Virginia, Rosenberg shed light on prophetic scripture that many may have overlooked. He identifies China as a potential leader in the events leading up to Armageddon, referencing Revelation 16:12-15 to support his claims.
This scripture speaks of a gathering of the "kings of the east," which Rosenberg posits could be a direct reference to China.
As a nation with the largest military and nuclear capability, he suggests that China has emerged as a prototype of what a tyrannical society looks like, drawing parallels to biblical predictions of an Antichrist figure.
While the Chinese government remains staunchly anti-religion, an astonishing spiritual awakening is reportedly taking place within its borders. According to a Boston University study, the number of Christians in China has surged from just 1 million four decades ago to an estimated 100 million today.
Rosenberg emphasizes this as a sign of hope in an otherwise dark scenario, arguing that the spread of Christianity even under an oppressive regime reveals a profound movement of faith.
He advocates for American Christians to pray for their Chinese counterparts, urging them to find courage against persecution and to renounce communism.
As we contemplate the future of U.S.-China relations, it is crucial to recognize the stakes involved—not just for American security, but in a larger, cosmic context of good and evil.
Rosenberg’s insights remind us to remain vigilant, prayerful, and engaged as events unfold on the global stage.
With America under the leadership of President Donald Trump, now more than ever, conservative values must be reflected in our approach to international threats.
The words of scripture may very well hold the keys to understanding the turbulent times ahead.
As conservatives, we must take note and prepare for what is to come.
