Global SITREP B6-20: Kings of the East (Part II)

Army of the Kings of the East
10 May 2020: This SITREP is a follow-up to the Eschatology Today original "The Kings of the East" published in October 2010. All of the same Scripture references in that post apply in Part II. Another excellent point of reference is found within 'The Nations in Prophecy' by John F. Walvoord, published January 1967. Chapter 12 is entitled "The Kings of the East: The Oriental Confederacy."

There's a lot of speculation and think-tank products going around since the Communist Chinese SARS-COV-2 global pandemic erupted in late January of this year. With many world governments now holding or threatening to hold the People's Republic of China accountable for the outbreak in allowing its infected population to disperse around the globe in advance of the Chinese New Year celebrations (Jan 25, 2020) without any advance warning, there appear to be days of reckoning coming soon. How the ruling Chinese Communist Party in Beijing may respond is the subject of many speculations. Some of them appear to mesh very well with Scripture on the subject.

We'll have to see how things transpire, but one of the most recent military scenarios has Bejing using the 12-million strong People's Liberation Army (PLA) to lash out against global COVID-19 retribution. The retribution is primarily led by the removal of the American market as a primary source of economic growth, thereby driving the economy of the People's Republic of China into a steep downward spiral. 

To stem the economic free-fall Beijing might find it necessary to internalize its economics by an even more massive expansion of its military forces. A vastly expanded military would then be used to subdue troubled North Korea, and absorb its million-man army. This could initiate the 'oriental confederacy' Walvoord wrote about, a/k/a 'The Kings of the East' in Scripture. Next would be a total military subjugation of Tibet, and in-turn cause India to intervene militarily in support of the fiercely independent Tibetans. China and India are nuclear powers, and India has a massive land army of its own. Then there's Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Laos and all the nations on the periphery of the South China Sea) which would not go quietly into captivity. South Korea, Japan and Taiwan would quickly become directly involved causing America's rapid intervention. This is how the so-called World War IV could begin, one that is raging at the very outside of the 70th Week. 

These kinds of speculative scenarios are quite probable as they are based upon real-world dynamic that have played out in similar manner as in the first two world wars and the third world war known as the Cold War. Scripture is not specific about the war at the beginning of the 70th Week, but there's no question that it will occur (Revelation 6:1-8).

  1. Sean, is it true or mere speculation that China plans on sinking a USN Aircraft carrier in response to the backlash of the covid-19 pandemic?

    1. Baptistmama,

      Not specifically in response to the COVID-19 backlash, but in preemption of or in response to a US military intervention against a PLA invasion of Taiwan.

      And not just one American carrier, but two or more of our CVN's.

      This has been the CCP/PLAN's objective strategy for a long time. It would also be their greatest possible miscalculation.

  2. A bit of breaking news of interest to us all. Quoting the MEFORUM site:

    "U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is arriving in Israel on Wednesday to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His visit presents a perfect opportunity, at a perfect time—with most of the globe preoccupied with the COVID-19 pandemic—for the two to announce that Israel will begin to implement U.S. President Donald Trump's "Peace to Prosperity" plan and annex parts of the Jewish-inhabited portions of the West Bank."

    Here we go...

  3. I wonder what that will do to the swearing in of the new government planned for the following day. Hmmm. This is going to be an interesting week. Blessings, all!

  4. 2020 has certainly not disappointed by way of exciting events. As far as Pompeo's visit to Israel... I wonder what other events have been unfolding while the world was focused on the virus?!
    A magician uses slight of hand to do tricks, get you to focus on a particular action while he does something else...what else has been taking place while the population wasn't looking?
    I'm grateful to you Sean for keeping us posted on what's happening while the world wasn't looking.

    A Sino-India nuclear war is a very high probability IMHO. Hundreds of millions dead.
