China warned a US military bomber:

March 23, 2017

China said on Thursday the United States should respect its air defense identification zone (ADIZ), after CNN reported China had warned a U.S. bomber it was illegally flying inside China’s self-declared zone in the East China Sea.

China declared the zone, in which aircraft are supposed to identify themselves to Chinese authorities, in the East China Sea in 2013, which the United States and Japan have refused to recognize. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-usa-defence-idUSKBN16U0SB

China is strengthening claims

Analysts say uncertainties over the U.S. policy towards the South China Sea and “a comprehensive strategy for Asia” generally has enabled China to adopt a stronger position to its claims to the region.

James Chin, director of the Asia Institute at the University of Tasmania, said the uncertainties over the U.S. policy have led to disappointment within ASEAN.

“Now they think it’s going to be a stalemate and people are thinking that the Americans only worry about North Korea and the North Korean crisis. They don’t worry about the South China Sea,” Chin said.

“Now all bets are off. The problem with this approach it that the longer you leave the South China Sea alone, it means to give more time to the Chinese to keep building military bases,” he said.

China nears de-facto control

Once China builds on reclaimed land on the Scarborough Shoal, “it means they will have de-facto control of the South China Sea.”

Thayer said a Chinese airfield on the Shoal would be strategically significant completing a triangle linking Woody Island in the Parcels, the occupied features in the Spratly Islands, giving China “the ability to monitor all aircraft and surface ships passing over or through the South China Sea.”

“[But] they will allow freedom of navigation because China is essentially a trading nation. So they will not disturb the freedom of navigation – so that’s the positive,” said Chin.

China claims much of the South China Sea through the so-called nine dash line that extends near Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and Vietnam. 03/22/17 http://www.voanews.com/a/asean-looks-for-framework-on-south-china-sea-security/3776856.html

Many in the region are concerned. Notice what Japan is doing”

Japan unveiled its second largest helicopter carrier as it continues to build its military forces in response to South China Sea threats.

Accompanied by a military band, Maritime Self Defence Force commanders took possession of the 248 meter (813.65 ft) long vessel at the Japan Marine United (5411.T) (7013.T) shipyard in Yokohama near Tokyo, where it was docked next to its sister ship the Izumo.

“China is attempting to make changes in the South China Sea with bases and through acts that exert pressure is altering the status quo, raising security concerns among the international community,” Vice Minister of Defence Takayuki Kobayashi said at the ceremony attend by about 500 people

Japan’s two biggest warships since World War Two are potent symbols of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s push to give the military a bigger international role. They are designated as helicopter destroyers to keep within the bounds of a war-renouncing constitution that forbids possession of offensive weapons.

In its biggest show of naval power in foreign waters in more than 70 years, Japan plans to dispatch the Izumo in May on a three-month tour through the South China Sea, sources with knowledge of the plan told Reuters earlier. 03/22/17 http://www.trunews.com/article/japan-builds-navy-amidst-south-china-sea-concerns#sthash.IAPvWxr8.dpuf

The USA has tended to support those that oppose China’s positions on the South China Sea.

The USA is concerned about China and North Korea. And while it may hold back for a time because of North Korea, it is likely that the Trump Administration will decide that Asia needs more military focus.

This is part of why the USA will not see what is prophetically happening in Europe–it will be focused on other than the main power that will defeat it. The current world order dominated by the USA, and formerly by the UK is being changed.

The Bible shows that the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) is getting nearer–and that will greatly affect the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand which have descendants from Jacob also known as Israel. They WILL be defeated by a European power per Daniel 8:24-25 and 11:39 (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

The Bible also tells of the final time of the Gentiles. (Luke 21:23-24; Revelation 11:2), which means the time when the descendants of Israel will no longer dominate the world scene. We are getting closer to that time (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?).

The Bible tells of a time when there will be a confederation of the ‘kings of the east’ that will get together:

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12-16)

This will include Russia, China, Korea, AND Japan, and possibly even the Philippines. Things will one day dramatically change, militarily, in Asia, in terms of cooperation.

Notice also the following:

50:41 “Behold, a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance;
They are cruel and shall not show mercy.
Their voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.

43 “The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in childbirth…”(Jeremiah 50:41-43).

Russia is in the north. A confederation led by Russia and a great nation (seemingly China as it is the greatest nation in terms of population), and various others “from the ends of the earth” will get together. From the vantage point of the Middle East, Russia, China, and Japan are “from the ends of the earth,” as are many of the other nations in Asia.

Notice that one day, this will concern the “daughter of Babylon.” The end time Babylonian power, will be European (watch also Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European? and Mystery Babylon USA, Mecca, or Rome?). It will one day be very concerned about what this force will do. This is also shown in other scriptures (cf. Daniel 11:44-45; see also The Eurasian Union, the Kings of the East, and Bible Prophecy).

Thus, the European empire is to be destroyed by a northern led force. The time of Armageddon is approaching.
