Russia-China-India Tighten Ties

China’s Foreign Minister recently was quoted in the China Daily, “China has joined India in helping the Russian economy… ‘If the Russian side needs, we will provide necessary assistance within our capacity’… The Chinese statement comes after India, earlier this month, bought 12 nuclear reactors from Russian firm Rosatom and launched joint production of military helicopters” (EU Observer, December 22, 2014). 

Bible prophecies have long spoken of “kings from the East” who will eventually come into the Holy Land to challenge a European Beast power that has moved forces into that area, and this confrontation will occur just prior to the return of Jesus Christ (Daniel 11:44; Revelation 16:12). These kings of the east will muster an unprecedented 200-million-man army (Revelation 9:13-21). Russia, China and India will likely be nations that help form this massive army at some point in the future. Their deepening ties are probably laying the groundwork for a far more powerful alliance that will emerge on the world stage in the future.
