Asian leaders have agreed to create a new united regional association, a sixteen nation association that will widen its circle of cooperation among Asian nations that are working on combating Asia's economic, security, and political problems.
The new regional association membership includes nations like: China, India, South Korea, and even Australia and New Zealand, all nations that are making an effort to develop a stronger voice in world affairs. China is the driving force behind this new regional association and one question the group will have to address in the near future is Russia's desire to join the group, which is somewhat of a confrontation to China.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The new sixteen member Asian regional association wanting a stronger voice in world affairs is a precursor to a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy. China watchers have been observing this most populated nation of the world become a major economic power and at the same time, building up its military might. Almost half of the world's population would be included in this newly formed association, making it a force to be reckoned with today and into the future as well.
Though China, India, and the other fourteen members of this new Asian association are not mentioned in Bible prophecy, they are included in the End Times scenario that can be found in the book of Revelation. Revelation 16:12 mentions the kings of the East that will make their way into Jerusalem at the end of the seven year Tribulation Period to join with the Antichrist, the False Prophet, and Satan to fight the Battle of Armageddon.
Bible prophecy also reveals that most of the Islamic world will be already destroyed by the time China and the other kings of the East join the Satanic trinity to go against Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, Ezekiel 38, 39; Daniel 11; Revelation 16.
This new powerful, regional Asian association recently formed does help to set the stage for the End Times scenario that is found in Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.
