China is not pleased with the AUKUS (Australia, United Kingdom, and USA) group’s military plans:
U.S., Allies Hold Record-Setting Military Exercise in Australia in Message Aimed at China
July 23, 2023
The joint drills involving 13 nations are most expansive in the Talisman Sabre exercise’s history, officials say. https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-allies-hold-record-setting-military-exercise-in-australia-in-message-aimed-at-china-86080059
US, Australia rehearse long-range firepower, with eye on China
July 23, 2023
The United States and Australia rehearsed precision missile strikes during war games on Saturday, the latest in a series of moves by the partners amid growing tensions with China in the Indo-Pacific region.
The live-fire drills were held at the Shoalwater Bay military complex in the northeastern region of Queensland as a part of the two-week-long Talisman Sabre joint military exercises.
It comes as Canberra overhauls its military strategy, focusing on long-range firepower in a bid to keep the potential adversaries at arm’s length. …
The US Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said at the start of the exercises on Friday that “The most important message that China can take from this exercise and anything that our allies and partners do together is that we are extremely tied by the core values that exist amongst our many nations.”
Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Greg Bilton, Australia’s chief of joint operations, claimed that a Chinese spy ship had been sighted off the northeastern coast of Australia while preparations for the military exercises were underway.
The joint military exercises involve military partners and observers from thirteen countries in the Indo-Pacific region Japan, France, Germany, and South Korea, and more than 30,000 troops. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/07/23/707553/US-and-Australia-rehearsed-precision-missile-strikes-during-war-games-on-Saturday
Australia can hope to deter China, but it is going to find one day that its allies will abandon it and its “friends,” like Germany, will turn against it (cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).
Consider also the following:
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the chastisement of a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased. (Jeremiah 30:14)
Yes, Australia’s sins have been increasing. Its allies will forsake her.
Australia hopes to defend itself, but realizes that it cannot defeat China on its own.
While carnally speaking, reliance on the military of the USA would seem to make sense, Bible prophecy shows that will not succeed, not too many years from now. The prophetic reality is that the US military will NOT be able to protect Australia, the UK, and other parts of the world in the future.
As regular readers of this page are aware, since 2009 (in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect), I wrote that China may take over Australia, and possibly New Zealand. Since I wrote that, my belief in that outcome has increased.
Alliances will NOT be able to protect Australia against powers like China.
On June 24, 2010, the day it was announced that she became Prime Minister of Australia, I warned that I felt that Julia Gillard would take steps to fulfill prophecies that also could get the Chinese interested in taking over Australia (see Australia Now Has a Female Prime Minister: Prophetic Ramifications?).
And that happened.
For more on that and other issues with China and Australia, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
The Chinese paper ‘Global Times’ has carried threats in 2011 and 2016 suggesting the China would militarily intervene against Australia. It has declared that Australia is a ‘paper cat,’ that China will get revenge against it, and that Australia would be no more. Is this possible? Are there biblical and other reasons to think that this threat is real? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and brings up the fact that he has been warning about this threat since last decade.
Here is a link to our video: Are Chinese threats against Australia for real?
Also, notice something I first saw TODAY that was from the late Garner Ted Armstrong in the old Radio Church of God back in 1960:
The Australian people have seen the way the United States has FAILED to stand up to the Communists in IndoChina, the Mideast, Hungary, and, in many instances, in acts of aggression against unarmed American airplanes or even civilian personnel. …
The United States … may become totally unable to protect Australia! While the United States and Great Britain are faced with the prophesied revival of the “beast,” … in Europe, forming the rebuilding of the ancient Roman Empire, Australia may well be taken over by an entirely different enemy! Australia, trying to populate and industrialize to stave off Communism, may become the SLAVES OF COMMUNISTS! (Armstrong GT. Populate or Perish! Plain Truth, January 1960)
It is interesting, to me at least, that Garner Ted Armstrong and I came to basically the same conclusions many decades apart as we never spoke together, nor had I seen his view on this until today.
That said, yes, I maintain that Australia is highly likely to be taken over by Asian forces, though some in Europe may also be involved.
The Continuing Church of God, later, also put together this sermon on our ContinuingCOG channel:
Australia and New Zealand: Origins and Prophecy
Who are the ancestors of the British peoples who went to Australia and New Zealand? Are there biblical and even non-biblical prophecies that point to the nations of Australia and New Zealand? If so, what do they teach? Have any been fulfilled? What are some of the blessings and cursings the Bible tells of? Does prophecy help explain the wealth of Australia and New Zealand? Will future prophecies still be fulfilled? Does Isaiah 49:12 refer to Australia or New Zealand? What about the Five Eyes? Are there any Catholic or Chinese prophecies that point to Australia and New Zealand? What about the Cook Islands and Australia’s external territories? How will the Great Tribulation affect Australia and New Zealand? Will military alliances fail? Are Australians and New Zealanders prophesied to be slaves? Is China a real threat? What about Japan?
Here is a link to the sermon: Australia and New Zealand: Origins and Prophecy.
Australia is looking towards military alliances and NOT to God. Despite its military hopes, this will not end well for Australia.
