Prophecy Update: Oct.5th 2017
When I wrote my book about the biblical teaching on when God chooses to discipline or destroy a nation, I was concerned about the rise of China and Russia as powers who have published books detailing their intention to destroy the United States of America. As America turned from the Lord, more nations spoke of their desire to destroy the USA.
When President Nixon opened up relations with the communist dictatorship in China, America changed the way they would do business with the communist Chinese. Engagement was the word of the day, the hope that as the economy improved in China, the Chinese would turn from communism and choose freedom. Watanabe, Tsuneo wrote a nice article in 2014 called, US Engagement Policy toward China, Realism, Liberalism, and Pragmatism. “US policy toward Beijing has consistently been one of engagement since President Richard Nixon’s visit to the People’s Republic of China in 1972. There have been occasional swings in nuance, though, resulting from the positioning of four groups within the United States—pro-China commercial liberals, anti-China human-rights-oriented liberals, pro-China interdependence- and stability-focused realists, and anti-China military- and rivalry-focused realists—frustrating China and US allies in the region.” What no one wants to admit among these groups is that China has used engagement to work on her desire to destroy the USA.
In May the Washington Times asked the question if war was inevitable with China. It has always been inevitable from the communist Chinese point of view. The USA lives in a fog when it comes to China. The Times reported, “Half of China’s public believes that military conflict between China and the United States will occur within the next 10 years. This is one finding of the 2017 U.S. China Public Perceptions Opinion Survey, (the “Survey”) published by the Committee of 100 (C100) during its annual conference, held last week in Washington D.C.” Since the public sentiment mirrors the government in communist countries, war is in the air in China. The public is told quite often that China is going to destroy the USA.
Unrestricted Warfare, by Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui (Beijing: PLA Literature and Arts Publishing House, February 1999) is a book that I read after 9/11. The book was written by two PLA senior colonels from the younger generation of Chinese military officers. The book has recently drawn the attention of both the Chinese and Western press “for its advocacy of a multitude of means, both military and particularly non-military, to strike at the United States during times of conflict.” This book outlines the many ways that China has been attacking the USA over the last 40 years, a death by a thousand cuts. Assymetrical warfare is designed to weaken the opponent and kill him in the end. Hacking computers, targeting financial institutions, funding terrorism, using the media, and conducting urban warfare are all of the methods that China has been using.
In his new book, ‘I War’ by Bill Gertz, Gertz asserts that we are at war with China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea only the US is in the fog not believing that these nations wish to destroy us and are actively attacking us every day! One reviewer said, “America is at war – from cyber attacks by world powers to ISIS and even homegrown terrorists planning attacks on U.S. soil – but most of its citizens don’t know it.” China has stolen over 100 million peoples personal information in the USA. We are under information war with China and Russia.
Russia is in on this act also, they have infiltrated businesses, government, and our infrastructure computers. It is not just cyber attacks but also infiltration. The Russians boast as the Chinese do that they can shut down the electric grid. Russian hacking has become a subject almost every night in the news. What the Russians did was to steal information from the Democrats and publish it. They had a network to disseminate the info and hurt the Democrats. Gertz says, “Moscows government hackers released some twenty thousand internal documents hacked from the computer network of the DNC.” Under the Obama administration, we were completely defanged and have not engaged others in the computer threats or information war. America has been absent. Our enemies have figured out that it is cheaper to attack America through information warfare than having armies. Especially since America does not see it as war!
Politico reported in July, Forget Comey. The Real Story Is Russia’s War on America.
And this is perhaps the banner flying over the investigations circus: Missing from the investigation of the supposed Russia scandal is any real discussion of Russia.
China and Russia have a plan for attacking and destroying the USA, this is ignored by most American leaders. Russia is more crass than the Chinese and openly threaten nuclear war with us. What is truly a threat are the new drone subs equipped with nukes that can blow up off our shores in the Atlantic and the Pacific. Both China and Russia have upgraded their nuke fleets!
The Chinese have done a masterful job of convincing the Americans that we are friends. Chinese like the Russians task their diplomats to convince Americans that those who say they are a threat are the threat. In our political correct nation, always shoot the messenger and America do just that. China has been building a base in Djibouti on the horn of Africa in one of the most important choke points in the world, on the Red Sea. “The Chinese are the second country to cut a deal with Djibouti this year 2014 to create a military presence, joining Saudi Arabia, which made a similar agreement early this year. China has invested heavily in the area by pumping billions into Djibouti and neighboring Ethiopia. The new base will both protect their investments and give them increased military presence in one of the world’s most important trading routes.” What is troubling about this is that the Chinese have control of both ends of the Panama Canal, the South China Sea, and now in the Red Sea. They control the choke points of free trade! When China finished this base in the summer of 2017, the Chinese must be really excited and shaking their heads at the stupidity of the America government.
During the Reagan administration, we saw the government attack the Soviets calling them the evil empire and we beat them in the information war. Today you cannot say the Russians or Chinese or any Muslim group are the enemy of the USA. Even in the movies, you do not see movies made that show the Muslims or the Chinese as the enemy. We had movies all the time in the 1980’s that showed how the communist Russians were our enemy. We are not fighting in the area of ideas. The people without a vision will perish!
Iran rose in 1979 under the banner of destroying Israel and the USA. In their view the USA is the great Satan and Israel is the little Satan. Every day the Iranians are working on their goal to destroy the US and they hack into the country every day as their friends in Russia do. When they hacked into the US in Febuary of 2014, Obama kept the attack secret because he was protecting the Iranian deal. The Sands attack was not trivial it cost the company 40 million dollars. Iran stole data including sensitive employee data and social security numbers. The Iranian connection to the cyber attack was made public nineteen months later on September 10, 2015 during testimony before Congress by DNI director James Clapper. The details of Iran’s ongoing war activities against the United States are unknown to most Americans. On the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Iranian Chief of Staff Hassan Firouzabadi boasted:
“Iran is prepared for the decisive war against the U.S. and the Zionist regime. … Iran has been making plans, conducting maneuvers, and preparing its forces for this battle for years now. The first option on our table is “Death to America.” The entire people’s slogan is “Death to America” … Another option on our table is the defense of Palestine; other messages from the Iranian people to their officials are not to fear the enemy and not to fear death.
[The Americans] already want us to capitulate on the nuclear issue — but on what basis are they interfering in Iran’s affairs? If we let them, the Americans will destroy Islam and the Revolution, because they have no honor and no humanity … See how they left the helpless people of Iraq. They carry out massacres in Palestine, and support takfiris who slaughter people.”
As America makes excuses for Muslim groups like our enemies ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, and makes excuses for China and Russia, we are quickly weakening under the attacks and will be harmed in ways that will change American lives! This is happening because of the sins of America and the foolishness of our leaders. The more we internally attack Christianity the more the nation is weakened. Jesus said that a nation divided against itself cannot stand.
Our worst enemy is ourselves. I have never seen our nation as divided. Only the books I have read on the Civil War come close to describing what we are doing to ourselves today. I have begun to repent for the nation like Daniel did for his nation in Daniel 9. Please pray that God will forgive us for our idolatry, immorality, killing innocents, and our attacks on our ally Israel. “If my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. 2 Chron.7:14”
