While US focus is on domestic politics, China, Russia, and Europe build infrastructure
Various Proposed Silk Road Corridors ()
The following caught my attention:
Russia & China Invest in Infrastructure; U.S. Instead Spends on Military
China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” is famous as an extension of their domestic infrastructure investments, but Russia is also investing heavily in infrastructure. Both countries need to do it in order to improve the future for their respective populations, and both Governments have avoided the Western development model of going heavily into debt in order to pay for creating and maintaining infrastructure. Both are, in fact, exceptionally low-debt Governments.
According to the “Global Debt Clock” at Economist, China has a public debt/GDP of 17.7%, and Russia’s is 8.0%. For comparison, America’s is 93.6%. (Others are: Germany 85.8%, Spain 91.2%, Italy 122.6%, Greece 147.1%, India 54.2%, Pakistan 47.0%, and Brazil 55.0%.)
The United States isn’t going into public debt in order to finance building or maintenance of infrastructure, but instead to finance expansions of its military, which is already (and by far) the world’s largest (in terms of its costs, but not of its numbers of troops). …
These infrastructure projects are optimistic and long-term expenditures, which are being planned and built only because the countries that the US aristocracy are targeting to conquer, expect the US aristocracy to fail to achieve its clear #1 goal, of controlling the entire world and conquering them — of America’s rulers finally achieving the global fascist empire that, in World War II, Hitler and the other Axis powers had been hoping to become.
By contrast, US infrastructure is rotting; and, while every recent US President has promised to reverse that decline, none has done anything significant to repair this nation’s rotting infrastructure — it has always been just talk and empty promises. …
On November 1st, Russian Television bannered “Russia, India & Iran want to create alternative trade route to Suez Canal – report” and described “The 7,200-kilometers long corridor [that] will combine sea and rail routes”:
The route will make it possible to deliver cargoes from India to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas. Then, the goods will be transported by land to Bandar Anzali, Iran’s port on the Caspian Sea. After that, goods will be shipped to the Russian southern port of Astrakhan, from where they will move to Europe by rail. The new transport artery will potentially reduce the time and costs of shipping by up to 40 percent. https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/11/06/russia-and-china-invest-infrastructure-us-instead-spends-on-military.html
I do not recall seeing any of the above in the mainstream television news from the USA. The focus has been the midterm elections and various other aspects of internal politics.
Here are links to some COGwriter posts related to the Silk Road project this year: China pushing ‘New Silk Road’ after completing one road connecting itself into the edge of Europe, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Iran, and Armageddon, ‘China’s One Belt One Road is ‘greatest economic initiative’ of 21st century; Iran says it will NOT renegotiate its nuclear deal., and Asia: China proposes ‘Polar Silk Road’ across Arctic to streamline trade (with Europe).
The Silk Road project is improving the ability of countries in Asia and Europe to trade. Here is some information related to it and Europe:
The Hungarian government is to deploy eight new intermodal yards; seven in the countryside and one near Budapest to accommodate rail freight traffic from the Far East to Europe. It is eyeing a strategic position as an eastern European gateway on the New Silk Road.
November 6, 2018
Hungary is to be connected on two international lines that are to reshuffle the cards, explained Gyuri Firbás, a logistics consultant to the government.
“We will be connected through the Budapest-Belgrade line, which will form an extension to the Greek ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki, and to eastern Poland, where we will connect to the traditional route through Belarus and Russia. We are focussing on the flow of traffic moving from the south-east to the north-west, and from the south-west to the north-east.”
Adriatic connection
The Budapest-Belgrade line is a 336- kilometer rail line connecting the Serbian and Hungarian capital. It is to serve traffic flowing through the port of Piraeus, which was recently acquired by the Chinese company COSCO. The Chinese government plans to boost the port as a maritime gateway into Europe. Although many have seen the railway line as a solely Chinese project, Firbás points out the benefits to Hungary.
“We will not only be connected to the Greek ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki. Once Montenegro has joined the EU, the port of Bar will be added to the network of European ports accessible to Hungary. The Bar-Belgrade railway connection is already there. Thus, as a landlocked country, we will be connected to the port of Koper (Slovenia), Bar, and the Greek ports.”
Link to Poland
A new railway line between Budapest and Malaszewicze is to enable the Hungarians to tap into the growing traffic flow between China and Poland, Firbás explained. “Right now, when traffic enters Europe at the Malaszewicze-Brest border, it is mostly forwarded to Germany or the Netherlands. With a railway connection via Kosice in Slovakia, we want to form a transit line to the Southern European countries such as Slovenia, Croatia and northern Italy.”
With this new connection, the country is to be another destination for traffic via Russia, an important trading partner of Hungary. https://www.railfreight.com/specials/2018/11/06/hungary-gears-up-to-become-new-european-gateway-rail-traffic-china/
The Bible tells of a time when the Babylonian European Beast will dominate world trade (cf. Revelation 17 and 18).
The Silk Road Project looks to be part of how that trade will be conducted. The Silk Road project is also called the One Belt, One Road Initiative as well as the BRI–Belt Road Initiative.
As far as infrastructure goes, it should be noted that Russia, China, and the EU while also spending on their militaries, are also spending on financial infrastructure intended to one day dethrone the USA dollar (for some details, check out the article: The End of US Dollar Dominance).
The Bible tells of the final time of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24; see also The Times of the Gentiles). Part of the objective of the European Union itself and China’s One Belt, One Road initiative is to establish a new world order–an order no longer dominated by the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies, like the UK.
This is something that the mainstream media in the USA does not understand nor does it focus much on what is happening now in Europe or Asia.
A coordination of Gentile powers against the Anglo-Americans is occurring.
Notice also the following prophecies from the Old and New Testaments:
23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled.
25 Destruction comes;
They will seek peace, but there shall be none. (Ezekiel 7:23-25)23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:23-24)
2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. (Revelation 11:2)
Notice that Ezekiel, Jesus (whose words are recorded in Luke), and John (who penned Revelation) were talking about the same time.
The time of Gentile domination is prophesied (Ezekiel 7:24, 30:1-3, 34:25-30; Jeremiah 10:25; Luke 21:23-24; Revelation 11:2)–though it is not quite here yet. It will be here for the 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2018, 2019, or 2020?).
When will it end?
The old Worldwide Church of God taught:
With the second coming of Christ, the “times of the Gentiles” will at last come to an end. (Stump K. The Arab World in Prophecy. Plain Truth, December 1979, p. 38)
The Great Tribulation itself is further described in Revelation 6:9-11 (the fifth seal, that seems to occur because the faithful church has suffered martyrdom, cf. Daniel 11:31-35; Matthew 24:9-10), Lamentations, Daniel, and other parts of the Bible. It starts with Matthew 24:21 and Daniel 11:39. Some would call this World War III (WWIII; see also World War III: Steps in Progress and/or watch Is World War III About to Begin? Can You Escape?).
For the final time of the Gentiles to arise, the Gentiles will need to cooperate together against the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies. The BRICS, EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union), SCO, and Silk Road arrangements are all intended to do that–as is the European Union–and the nations involved with them are all taking steps which align with properly understood biblical prophecies. A block of nations from North Africa and the Middle East will also be involved (cf. Daniel 11:27, 40-43)–this is something that US President Donald Trump and others have encouraged (see How Will Middle East Peace be Brought About?).
Yet, most in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand do not understand what is now happening on the world scene and how they will be affected.
In the American television news, how often have you seen the Silk Road project or the EAEU mentioned?
Perhaps not at all.
The focus of the media is obscuring what is really happening in the world.
We are getting closer to the end of Anglo-American dominance and the Great Tribulation.
Steps continue to be taken that are leading to it.
Jesus said. “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:37). And though the mainstream does not seem to pay much attention to prophetic matters, the part of the intent of the COGwriter Church of God News page is to report about news events and how they align with biblical prophecies.
The Silk Road Project is something to watch.
Some items of possibly related interest may include:
Is China paving roads to Armageddon? China is working on something known as the ‘Silk Road’ project or the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. NBC reports that China intends to spend one trillion dollars to build roads, bridges, railroads, and maritime facilities to reach from China to Europe and China to the Middle East. Over 60 nations, including Russia, are involved with this. Could this Silk Road project possibly produce thoroughfares that could be used by troops that will amass at Armageddon? Dr. Thiel discusses this project and some of its potential prophetic ramifications in this video.
