China, Russia, India, & Brazil To Increase Cooperation

Chinese Soldiers

China is calling for increased cooperation between itself & Russia, as well as India and Brazil in order to provide “multi-polarity in the world”:

China, Russia should strengthen cooperation – Chinese FM

RIA Novosti, Russia – March 7, 2009

BEIJING (RIA Novosti) – China and Russia should strengthen cooperation to ensure stability and multi-polarity in the world, the Chinese foreign minister said Saturday…

Jiechi said China’s policy regarding Russia will develop in four directions in 2009: “mutual exchanges on the high and top level,” strengthening energy and scientific-technological cooperation, diplomacy and cultural exchanges, as well as cooperation within international organizations, including BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China).

“Brazil, Russia, India and China are big players on the international arena. We face similar challenges, have opportunities for joint development, and are making a common contribution to ensuring peace and stability in the region,” the Chinese minister said. http://en.rian.ru/world/20090307/120469526.html

While the Bible shows that Russia, China, and India will essentially unite militarily in order to take on the future European Beast power, I will again go on record and state that Brazil will support Europe.

While I have never been to any of the so-called BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China), I believe because of religious, cultural, trade, and biblical reasons (such as geographic location) that Brazil will not become part of an end-time alliance against Europe. Though it may increase some ties with the other BRIC nations.

However, the call today from the Chinese leader does show that there certainly is interest among those in China, Russia, and India for those nations to cooperate together against the West.

Interestingly, after I posted this today, the following news item was read at our local LCG church services today:

Russian and China Strengthen Ties. Russia and China just signed an important deal—China will lend Russia $25 billion, and Russia will build an oil pipeline to northern China and supply the Chinese with 300,000 barrels of oil per day for the next 20 years. After interest is figured in, this works out to be about $11.40 per barrel at a fixed rate for China. The results of this deal show how desperate the Russians are for business and how willing they are to strategically align with China for many years to come. In addition, the new pipeline will diversify China’s energy sources which come predominantly from the Middle East and are subject to the whim of the current world naval power (Stratfor.com, February 18, 2009). God prophesied that at the end of the age, just prior to the return of Christ, the greatest army the world has ever known will bear down on Jerusalem from the north and east. This army will be a compilation of nations, comprising 200 million men, and will ultimately destroy the Beast power (Daniel 11: 44-45, Joel 2:1-2, Revelation 9:13-21). Russia already has military alliances and building programs shared with China. Now they have an important, long-term energy alliance. These growing connections between two very populous nations could set the stage for future prophesied military action.

Truly, the stage for the 200 million man army of Revelation to be formed is being set even today. Prophesy continues to be fulfilled all over the world.
