There is an increase in church attendance amongst Communist Party members in the Peoples Republic of China:

Chinese Communist Party ‘Members’ Increasingly Attend Church

More Communist Party members in the Peoples Republic of China are attending church, according to the U.S. State Department’s latest report on International Religious Freedom.“Although CCP members are required to be atheists and generally are discouraged from participating in religious activities, their attendance at official church services in Guangdong Province was reportedly growing, as authorities increasingly chose to turn a blind eye to their attendance,” the report stated.http://cnsnews.com/news/article/chinese-communist-party-members-increasingly-attend-church

One of the official tenants of Communism was that there is no God and that religion is the “opiate of the masses.” So, what is happening in China is certainly a change.

This religious growth in China is prophetically significant as the Bible tells of a time when the entire world will worship a coming European Beast power:

3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast…8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world…7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:3-4,7-8).

Other biblical prophesies suggest that this beast power will be in league with a compromised church based out of Rome (Revelation 17:1-11). That this involves Rome is the belief of many Catholic scholars.

My book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect points out that many Catholic writings warn that someone will compromise their religion, that an antipope will arise, the antipope may be the final Antichrist who changes yet claims Catholicism, and China will accept the end time “Catholic” faith.

Furthermore, as my book also points out, even Chinese prophesy seems to be setting the Chinese up to accept this compromised faith:

The second beast in Revelation 13 is primarily a religious leader (even though he has political influence). He promotes religious worship and is also referred to in other scriptures as “the false prophet” (Revelation 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). He is likely to be considered a current or future saint by his followers…

Interestingly, there is a Chinese prophecy dating back to the Middle Ages that appears to somewhat warn against him, as it states:

All negative forces are subservient…China now has a saint. Even if he is not that great a hero.

An ancient Chinese prophecy states:

Beautiful people come from the West. Korea, China and Japan are gradually at peace.

This seems to indicate that many Asians will accept a type of peace that will be related to a Western (European) power. (Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. 2009)

A “saint” that is not “that great a hero” sounds a lot like the final Antichrist. Europe will be the major power West of China.

The fact that there is a growing Protestant and Catholic church influence in China in the 21st century strongly suggests that China may be influenced by the final compromised Western religion that the Bible warns about.
