Prophecy Sign: A powerful economic and military bloc will emerge out of the East at the end times

China certainly has come a long ways in a short period of time. From a heavily populated, but insular and introverted nation, to a full-fledged super power with the biggest economy in the world, and a impressive military build-up in recent years.

Bible prophecy tells us that a group known as the Kings of the East, will march on the holy land near the end of the Tribulation period. This army will consist of some 200 million soldiers. Considering the combined populations of China and India is close to 2.5 billion, it's not hard to imagine these eastern nations cobbling together such an immense number of soldiers.

The book of Daniel also notes that during the Tribulation period, the Antichrist will receive troubling news from the East, which is perhaps early warnings of this massive military build-up at the time of the end.

But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him. Daniel 11:44-45 NIV

From the articles:
