World Power Shift

With every passing day, it seems like the United States is trying its best to self-destruct economically, morally, socially... you name it. This is what Rome did after it reached it's height of power. Rome was never conquered - it just self-destructed. The United States will probably never be conquered, but certainly there will be no need. The power is shifting to the east - to China. Why?

China has the greatest population of Christians in the world. They are still a minority in China, but things are changing. Although Christianity isn't persecuted in China as much as it used to be, it's still a dangerous place to be a Christian leader. Yet, for all of this, the Chinese are training thousands to go into Muslim lands and spread the gospel. This is largely unheard of in the United States.

Lest we think it's about national power, it's not. It's simply about spreading the Word of God. The fight for the U.S. is now at home. The open door that was presented to the Philadelphian church in U.S. is closing, quickly. In fact, once China is unequivocally the most powerful nation in the world, it still wont be about power. In the book of Revelation, China is probably only referenced one time (ch 16). They will play a part in the end-time scenario, but it's not about national power - it's about Israel - who is blessing them, and who is cursing them.

Once the United States falls off the roster as world-policeman, we will likely see the war of Ezekiel 37 and 38. Will we as the Bride of Christ see this battle? Possibly. It's setting up - now. The question is, what takes the U.S. out of the world's visual as sole protector of Israel? Will it be a silly president? Will it be a national disaster? Will it be a trumpet blast?
