Might an Ancient Chinese Prophecy Involve Australia and New Zealand?
Tower | = Grass | + Clay | + Mankind | + 1 | + Mouth |
As many readers of this page are aware, there are Chinese characters that suggest knowledge of early biblical events such as the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9).
But is it possible that any ancient Chinese prophecies might mention events that are related to the end-times?
Well, there is a Chinese prophecy dating from the Tang Dynasty (June 18, 618 – June 4, 907) that seems to support the concept of pan-Asian cooperation (although it only mentions three nations) after someone (who is apparently not really trustworthy) rises up in the West:
Beautiful people come from the West. Korea, China and Japan are gradually at peace (Pui-Hua R. Ancient Chinese Prophecies Till the End of the World. AuthorHouse, Bloomington (IN), 2008, p. 85).
All negative forces are subservient…China now has a saint. Even if he is not that great a hero (ibid, p. 89).
The beautiful people may be from the Beast and his false prophet which apparently will impress peoples in places including Asia. The “saint” will likely be “the false prophet”.
When people in Asia and elsewhere see the Beast power they will marvel:
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is (Revelation 17:8).
They will marvel because of the great wealth, because they did not think Europe would gain such prominence, and because its leadership will have performed various signs and wonders.
But there is another ancient Chinese prophecy that might hint that it involves Australia and New Zealand. It states:
Population mouth takes territories south of the Yangtze river. The capital is moved again. The two divide up the territories, of which each maintains and defends (Pui-Hua R. Ancient Chinese Prophecies Till the End of the World. AuthorHouse, Bloomington (IN), 2008, p. 164).
This may be related to a deal that perhaps the Chinese will make in the future with Europe, as opposed to military conquest. It also may not be related to the taking of Australia or New Zealand, but perhaps might be.
The Bible warns of a time when the lands will be divided:
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain (Daniel 11:39).
The “he” is the European King of the North. The strongest fortresses are possessed by the USA and its Anglo-descended allies.
There are also a few verses in Lamentations that strongly support the idea that vs. 39 of Daniel 11 is the time that the Anglo-nations are punished.
Lamentations 4:16, states:
The face of the LORD scattered them; He no longer regards them.
The term translated as “scattered them” is the same Hebrew word (Strong’s 2505) used in vs. Daniel 11:39 translated as “divide”. It is also the same word used in Ezekiel 5:1-4 where the hair (apparently representing the U.S.A., etc.) is divided.
Furthermore, look at Lamentations 5:4-8:
4 We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price. 5 They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest. 6 We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7 Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities. 8 Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver us from their hand”.
Notice that the above passage mentions Assyria, which is who God will use to punish the certain descendants of Israel (Isaiah 10:5-11 ), such as the Anglo-descended nations.
It may be of some interest to note that the Hebrew word translated as “gain” (Strong’s 4242) in Daniel 11:39 is the term translated as “price” in Lamentations 5:4. The word translated as “rule over them” in v. 8, is the same Hebrew word that is translated as “rule over many” (Strong’s 4910) in Daniel 11:39. Although this is not totally conclusive, Lamentations 5 is further scriptural evidence that the United States, etc. may be attacked in Daniel 11:39.
And that is when the Great Tribulation would begin. This is the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7).
And this would seemingly include the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The Anglo-nations will be taken over and their lands will be divided.
And it will happen whether or not some demonic entity influenced an ancient Chinese predictor.
