Prophecy Sign: The
rise of the Kings of the East

The book of
Revelation indicates that a group called the Kings of the East will march west
into the Holy Land at the time of the end. This immense army
will number 200 million troops.

The bible does not
name who these kings or nations will be, but given that there exists only a
couple nations east of the Holy land
that could muster an army of this size, (China and India), it would be safe to assume China will factor into this prophecy. And given
recent headlines suggesting the financial and military muscle that China is now flexing, the prospect of China being part of the Kings of the East becomes
even more likely.

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,
and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
Revelation 16:12 NIV

From the articles:

Over the past few years, China has been buying up US government debt and is now its biggest holder. If China were to dump this debt, it would totally screw with the economy. China could, hypothetically, win any number of foreign policy objectives by making it impossible for you to pay your mortgage.

The markets are now global, the holdings in each other's finances deep, and the technical ability to manipulate them instantaneous. In the 1970s the West feared that its enemies had their fingers on a nuclear button. The modern equivalent may be China's ability to press the button on US Treasury bills.

Now is the time for China to use its "financial weapon" to teach the United States a lesson if it moves forward with a plan to sale arms to Taiwan. In fact, China has never wanted to use its holdings of U.S. debt as a weapon. It is the United States that is forcing it to do so.
