And letting this be known, for those that carefully study end time prophecies will see that China is not mentioned in the end times.
lol Are you serious? First that has nothing to do with the point I made...was not really relating it to endtimes....but you can tell china that they cant fire their nukes if war breaks out because you don't think they are allowed too according to biblical understanding.. :) lol

Maybe we should tell the Defense Department not to worry about China?

I did not say that.
What I said was in response to you saying China would destroy Australia, so in response because China is not listed in bible prophecy for the battle of Armageddon then they most likely are wiped out. So if China is gone then Australia can't be here either as a super power if wiped out by China.

I don't know of any battle of Armageddon in the Bible. There is a battle in the valley of Jehoshaphat & apparently armies do use the Plain of Megiddo as a staging area.

But noting what nations are not mentioned in some situation, IMHO, is a valid way to make a guess as to what nations will be around at the time.

Mitspa,
am I wrong in thinking that the attitude of our military head is "What, me worry?"
Haven't they been busy cutting back USA military power -- no longer a nuclear superiority?
Are they not in the process of converting military spending into benefits for same-sex "spouses"?

I doubt much that the prez loses any sleep over China.
If they worry, it is probably that the Chinese will stop lending the US govt money.

I don't know anymore what they are doing to watch those guys...but at one point we kept a good eye on them...my original point was that Australia should not expect to be left out of the fighting and that China was going to make sure they was part of all the fun. :) but yea I agree that our military should always remain as strong as we can afford to make it...above all things we should put that first...these guys China, Russia, Japan ..all of them would have enslaved us long ago if they thought they could have...

Revelation 16:16
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Let me clarify one thing to about China, I do believe that they will be in WW3 that is spoke of in chapter 9 under the 6th trumpet. But by the time of Armageddon at the end of the great tribulation in chapter 16 I don't believe China will be part of those kings of the east. The reason in this is, and I have to go look it up again, that it gives the players in the OT at this point and China is not one of the three that was given.

These days we call Vegemite ''Terrormite'' as it is Halal certified. We Aussies switched to is Dick smith's OzEmite,because Vegemite doesn't go down too well anymore.

Elysian Thanks for the information. The British version is called Marmite which is french for Cooking Pot, although our main Supermarkets mak their own brands. I will look out for Ozemite on the shelves.

Revelation does mention an Army of 200,000,000 coming on horseback from the East. Could be China although why they would come on horseback is very strange. They certainly have a big enough population to cover it but do they have that many horses?

Not in the original Greek Revelations 9:16 doesn't. What is says is καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στρατευμάτων τοῦ ἱππικοῦ δισμυριάδες μυριάδων· ἤκουσα τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν or "and the number of the armies of the calvary [was] twice ten thousand ten thousands; I heard the number of them."

The phrase is metaphorical not literal and simply stands for an immense host. Cavalry was chosen as it was an emblem of power in ancient times (note that the Parthian cavalry were the most formidable barbarian force of John's own day).

Oh, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAOSTAT) 2006 report asserts there are 7,402,450 horses in China.
