The Rapture Report — The Chinese Communist Party is Rewriting the Bible
By Chris Schang
In another sign that China is trying to raise their influence there is an article out that reports that China and the Communist party are trying to release their “version” of the Bible.
China is a country that is mostly comprised of Buddhists and atheists. It is quite strange that they seem to be obsessed with Christianity. To be fair, the article suggests that the Bible is not the only book they are attempting to put their own spin on.
An article from Fox News reports:
As part of a push to “sinicize” religion, the Chinese Communist Party has embarked on a 10-year project to rewrite the Bible and other religious texts.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus famously confronts the accusers a woman caught committing adultery, saying “let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her.”
The chastened accusers slink away and Jesus says to the woman, “‘Has no one condemned you?’ ‘No one, sir,’ she replied. ‘Neither do I condemn you,’ said Jesus. ‘Go away, and from this moment sin no more.'” A beautiful story of forgiveness and mercy.
Further…
Unless you’re a CCP official. Then it’s a story of a dissident challenging the authority of the state. A possible sneak preview of what a Bible with socialist characteristics might look like appeared in a Chinese university textbook in 2020. The rewritten Gospel of John excerpt ends, not with mercy, but with Jesus himself stoning the adulterous woman to death.
Across Henan province, local CCP officials forced Protestant churches to replace the Ten Commandments with Xi Jinping quotes. “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me,” became diktats like: “Resolutely guard against the infiltration of Western ideology.”
The 10-year project to rewrite the Bible, Quran and other sacred texts is all part of Xi Jinping’s quest to make the faithful serve the party rather than God.
At the 19th Party Congress, Chairman Xi declared “We will… insist on the sinicization of Chinese religions, and provide active guidance for religion and socialism to coexist.”
Let me translate: Xi Jinping has no problem with the first commandment, just so long as he and the CCP are playing the role of God.
For those of us who are bible prophecy watchers, we know that during the coming 7-year Tribulation period that the “Kings of the East” will march down to the Middle East against the Lord Jesus Christ. This will not end well for China.
The Chinese leaders are playing with fire as the Bible says that anyone who tries to change the words of the Bible is accursed. Xi Jinping and the rest of the Communist horde are setting their paths directly in front of God.
China is obsessed with control, and they do not like that other religions like Christianity cause people to put their faith in God rather than the little gods of Beijing.
Xi Jinping and the rest of China need to repent of their sins and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior before it is too late. Let us pray for all the innocents that are caught up in China and that they all come to the loving and saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This news report shows that we are clearly in the end times and that the time is later than many think. Keep looking up!
