Veering just a little off topic here. You all know just how threatening China is made out to be via mainstream media? China is made out to be this huge bogey man...lurking in the background. Have a watch of this short little YT clip regarding China and their fall. It's a simple little clip that reduces the power of China in the minds of we who have been conditioned to perceive China as a huge military and financial might. ALL media bilge.
Sure - the river Euphrates will dry up to make way for the kings of the east. Read closely, Doves. Their might is made up by man power - NOT destructive weapons. They will be at their wits end by the time they make their move. Financially decimated, one would imagine. Funny how the boils that people break out in are associated with "the kings of the east" chapter. Please watch the short YT clip re China in the first link. Revelation 16 in the 2nd link.
