Those waiting for Western elites to spearhead a “new world order” might want to consider the new and threatening alliance between Russia and China — both of which despise Europe and America.

The leaders of those two nations said at the Olympics that their alliance “knows no limits” and more recently, visiting China for the first time since the invasion, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, “painted a picture of a new ‘world order,’ saying the world was ‘living through a very serious stage in the history of international relations,'” says a news report.

This should give the rest of the globe great pause. “The Russia–China joint statement declared that the relationship surpasses an alliance and that there are no prohibited areas of cooperation,” noted East Asia Forum.

One wonders: if Russia and China form such a new bloc, will it include resource-rich Africa, where the Chinese and Russians both have made extensive inroads? And parts of South America, perhaps even Mexico? Where will India and the Arab states stand?

“Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeted each other with a high five when they met in Argentina for the Group of 20 summit,” said The Hill.

This was right after the fury over the prince’s brutal torture-murder of a dissenting journalist named Jamal Khashoggi (and after reports of Russia-Putin poisoning journalists and political critics).

How happy they were to see each other!

Daunting ponderings.

While this hardly negates the chance of a world order based in Europe and America, few have considered a new order based in the East. And that China’s “one China” policy means it supports Russian recovery of its former empire because China plans to retake Taiwan.

It also gets the juice of prophecy flowing, for a joint takeover or even invasion of North America by an alliance of Chinese and Russians has been in a number of recent supernatural predictions, particularly those who have “returned” from near-death episodes. A supposed Jewish prophet and rabbi named Vilna Gaon (see here, 1700s) had a descendant, Rav Shternbuch,” who supposedly received a closely guarded secret inherited through his lineage that came from the Gaon of Vilna himself, revealed shortly before his death. [It went as follows]: 

“When you hear that the Russians have captured the city of Crimea, you should know that the times of the Messiah have started, that his steps are being heard. And when you hear that the Russians have reached the city of Constantinople (today’s Istanbul), you should put on your Shabbat clothes and don’t take them off, because it means that the Messiah is about to come any minute.” Quite a bit of discernment necessary here.

Is Turkey on Putin’s agenda? And after that, the Balkans (including Bosnia-Hercegovina)?

Then there are those seemingly precognitive near-death experiences, including that of Ned Dougherty, who just before 9/11 predicted (in print) that “a major terrorist attack may befall New York City or Washington, D.C., severely impacting the way we live in the United States.” He was shown a future in which violence would spread from the Middle East to Europe, and then to the former Soviet Union and Far East — particularly China. The greatest threat, he was supposedly shown (by the Virgin, who came, after his experience, as “Our Lady of Light”) would come from China and a “two hundred million army” (see Revelation 9:16).

“The Lady of Light specifically told me, ‘Pray for the conversion of China,'” claimed Dougherty, a former businessman on Long Island. “‘The conversion of China to God is necessary for the salvation of the world.’“

This was also asserted by the Georgia man named James Wilburn Chauncey, who believed, when he “died” as a youngster decades ago, he had been taken by angelic-looking beings “to the edge of paradise, like a cliff, and you could see the blue earth hanging there and when you wanted you could just zoom in on various places on earth. I could smell smoke and heard booming noises and it was like I was seeing over the Northeast toward Europe and I could see these armies moving from Russia over Syria and continuing southwest and southeast, bypassing Israel.

“They conquered all of Africa and Asia except for China, then they started across the rest of Europe and across to England.

“The English fought very hard. After England was decimated I saw missiles lobbed from boats at New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, and Atlanta and some other place but at this point they weren’t nuclear. That was followed by a landing of troops and I looked toward the other side of America when I heard some huge blasts and I looked toward Mexico and New Mexico. There were troops coming from Mexico and South America and they were Islamic. I kept ‘getting’ that Russia has a pact with the Islamic countries. After this, there were nuclear blasts. Atomic bombs started falling.”

In China — where authorities until very recently forced women to abort babies if they already had a child, and where moneychangers made gruesome ashtrays from the hands of gorillas killed in Africa, among other barbaric atrocities (and where, in 2012, the Yangtze, as if as another sign, turned red), Christians in Shandong were said to have recorded a mysterious prophecy in 1995 at a clandestine prayer meeting where “everyone was singing ‘in the Spirit’ together (1 Corinthians 14:15), not in their own language, but ‘as the Spirit gave them utterance,’ all in harmony but all singing different words.

“Someone audio-taped the meeting,” noted one Evangelical Christian who sent us the tape. “Later, when they played back the cassette, they were shocked!

“What they heard was not what had happened there at all but the sound of angels singing in Mandarin a song they had never heard before, and with a musical accompaniment that had not been there. When my friend first heard the tape, before anyone told him what it was, he exclaimed, ‘Those are angels!’ Actually, there was no other explanation. A Chinese Christian co-worker translated the tape.”

Those alleged words (for discernment):

“The end is near. Rescue souls.

“The famine is becoming more and more critical.

“There are more and more earthquakes.

“The situation is becoming more and more sinister.

“People are fighting against each other, nation against nation.

“Disasters are more and more severe.

“The whole environment is deteriorating.

“People’s hearts are wicked, and they do not worship the true God.

“Disasters are more and more severe.

“Floods and droughts are more and more frequent.

“There is more and more homosexuality and incurable diseases.

“Disasters are more and more severe.

“The climates are becoming more and more abnormal.

“The earth is more and more restless.

“The skies have broken.

“The atmosphere is distorted.

“Disasters are more and more severe.

Then a chorus:

“The end is near. The revelation of love has been manifested.

“Rise up, rise up, rescue souls.

“The end is near.

“Rise up, rise up, rescue souls.”
