Saudi King Abdullah met with the President of China at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing for a first-ever state visit between these two men and he signed five agreements including one on oil and another on economic, trade, and technical cooperation.
While in the Far East, King Abdullah also met with the leaders of India holding talks on energy and economic ties; these talks between the world's leading oil exporter and energy hungry India. Both China and India, with their ever increasing need for oil, are working to sure up their relations with Saudi Arabia to make certain of a steady oil source in the future.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A news story that speaks of a state visit to China and one to India by the King of Saudi Arabia seems like a page out of Bible prophecy, which would reveal the scenario for these nations in the Last Days. For the very first time as the King of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah traveled in the Far East and firmed up deals with both China and India to provide them with oil that will be needed as these two most populated nations move into the 21st century.
Oil rich Saudi Arabia looks to become even richer when the oil starts to flow into the Far East. China has been firming up the sea lanes leading to Saudi oil fills and have even secured these lanes with military packs with the nations along these routes. India, which could actually surpass China as the most populated nation in the world, has been playing catchup for arrangements to have their ever-increasing oil needs met.
As I said, this report is like a page out of Bible prophecy, even to the extent of the issue of oil. In the book of Revelation 16:12 it speaks of the Kings of the East as major players near the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Both China and India are considered to be Kings of the East. Saudi Arabia, the Ishmaelites of Psalm 83, will also play a key role in the Last Days drama in both the Middle East and the Far East.
Saudi King Abdullah's visits to China and India are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
