The Kings of The East - China's Military Growing
Written: 8-19-10

In bible prophecy we're told that the Euphrates River is going to dry up in the Tribulation Period to come "that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared." (Revelation 16:12)
Near certain to be among "the kings of the east" is China, a nation which has a booming economy and is building and upgrading its military assets at breakneck speed in recent years.
Retired Army officer Bob Maginnis is quoted as saying the following in a OneNewsNow article on the topic of a recent assessment of China's military by the Pentagon:
"I've written about the new Cold War with China; I've written about the Blue Water Navy of the Chinese military and how aggressive it's becoming against us -- not only with its submarines, but the fact that they acknowledge openly and satellite imagery shows that they are building aircraft carriers. "You don't do that sort of thing for defensive reasons; you do it for the projection of force."
If China is among those described in bible prophecy as "the kings of the east", and there presently seems no reason to suspect it won't be, a "projection of force" by the Chinese military - and far more than that - is but a matter of time.
