Who would have thought that China would be much of a power just 50 years ago. But, the Lord tells us in the Bible that it will happen, "The Kings of the East" - it's going to happen folks!"
I've had several people disagree with me concerning that, and some even who are fundamental Baptists from within this local church! I used to teach it periodically on Okinawa as the pastor there.
