Chinese New Year is just around the corner and the decorations are already up in KL Wellness City where we had the seminar. Ps Alvin reiterated that there are many similarities between us Chinese, and the Jews.

THE JEWS & THE CHINESE

Hanging a red cloth on the main door during Chinese New Year, house warmings, or weddings to usher in good fortune, prosperity, and happiness while warding off evil spirits is Jewish. It is akin to marking the doors  with the blood of a sacrificed lamb during Passover. The red door serves as a powerful symbol of redemption, protection, and faithfulness in both Jewish and Christian traditions.  

The red door serves as a powerful symbol of redemption, protection, and faithfulness in both Jewish and Christian traditions. ..(Exodus 12:7)

 

The blood on the doorposts will be a sign to mark the houses in which you live. When I see the blood, I will pass over you and will not harm you when I punish the Egyptians (Exodus 12:13). 

My dad once said “I don’t need Jesus as I have Confucius”. A familiar rebuff from our elders is that Christianity is a western religion. This could not be further from the truth. 

We can trace ancient Jewish culture in our Chinese language. We can reconstruct the first few passages from the Genesis in the Bible using Chinese characters.  For instance, "temptation" or "covet" (婪) combines two trees (林) with a woman (女), representing the forbidden fruit and Eve. 

The character for "creation" (造) can be interpreted as having components for dust/dirt (土), mouth/person (口), life/alive (生), and walking/moving (走), which some associate with the creation of Adam. 

The character for "boat" (船) is composed of characters for "vessel" (舟), "eight" (八), and "mouth/person" (口), which is often cited as a reference to Noah's ark, which carried eight people.

The Chinese have never been antisemitic. With regards to Christians, yes they have arrested Christians and pastors used by external influence to destabilise China or to cause a regime change. Moreover during the Holocaust, China sheltered 50,000 Jews who fled persecution when many countries rejected them. Jewish merchants also settled in Kaifeng, Henan in the 10^th -19^th century where they prospered and were later assimilated with the Han population.

The emperor Taizong of Tang dynasty was a key supporter of the first recorded Christian mission to China. After studying scriptures brought by the Assyrian missionary Alopen in 635, Taizong issued an Edict of Toleration in 638, allowing the faith, known as "The Luminous Religion" (Jingjiao), to be preached.  As a result Xian was a most prosperous and modern city under his rule. Kyoto in Japan was modelled as a replica of old Xian.

CHINA IN THE SCRIPTURES

China is mentioned twice in the Bible. Isaiah 49:12 reads “Surely these shall come from afar; Look! Those from the north and the west, And these from the land of Sinim” Sinim is China. In modern Hebrew, Sin (Hebrew: סין) is the word for China plus the historical timing links it more with China than southern Egypt as some suggest.

Then in Revelations 16:12 the kings of the east refers to China or possibly a China-led alliance from the east.

THREE WISEMEN

“We three kings of Orient are…bearing gifts we traverse afar…” is a famous phrase we sing during Christmas.  The three (3) wisemen who visited Jesus were probably Chinese. Since ancient times the emperor always had a team of astrologers. They believed events on earth are linked to heaven. When the stars changed they knew there was a big event. These wisemen recognised the divinity of Christ and hence brought gifts appropriate for a king. 

Certainly if you had watched ancient Chinese classics like Romance of the Three kingdoms, sages like Zhuge Liang is depicted as being able to read the stars and atmosphere to predict weather changes, such as calling for the southeast wind at the Battle of Red Cliffs.

THE RECENT RISE OF CHINA

China was the world’s largest economy for most of the last two millennia (1st–19th century), contributing roughly 25-30% of global GDP and peaking in 1820. Then came  the 8 nations-alliance invasion of China, opium war and the Japanese invasion. This is coined the century of humiliation - the decline, defeat and political fragmentation of the Qing dynasty and the subsequent Republic of China, which led to demoralizing foreign intervention, annexation and subjugation of China by Western powers, Russia, and Japan.

The western powers have only been at the apex of the world economy for the last two (2) centuries. So China’s return to the apex is no surprise but for sure the western powers will try to contain her rise by all means – the military encirclement of China by the U.S, the trade wars, and the CIA-funded NED (National Endowment for Democracy) riots in Hong Kong, which their stooge Jimmy Lai is now facing life-imprisonment for his role.  

Can we avoid the Thucydides trap, a term popularized by Graham Allison, that describes a dangerous structural tension where an emerging power (China) threatens to displace a ruling power (USA), often resulting in war.

A UNITED CHINA

Qin Shi Huang unified China in 221 BC by conquering the six rival Warring States, ending the chaotic Warring States period and establishing the Qin Dynasty. As the first emperor, he centralized power, standardized currency, weights, measures, and language.  Unity makes China strong, if not China will now be divided into 27 nations like the E.U. Napolean and Hitler tried to unite Europe but failed. The current European Union is a joke and fragmented and serve not the interests of its people but that of the deep state and the corrupt politicians. Ironically the Western powers are trying to divide and conquer Russia and China. 

The West is modelled around capitalism and abhors anything that is different be it socialism or communism. They do not respect other models of governance yet their model is increasingly plutocratic rather than democratic, whereby the wealthiest 1% hold disproportionate power, shaping laws and policies to protect their interests, often at the expense of the majority. 

The western led world “ruled based order” is failing and compliance of weaker powers do not guarantee their safety. Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada in his speech at the World Economic Forum(WEF) in Davos last week said “we knew that the international rule based order was partially false. That the strongest will exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules enforced asymmetrically”.  It is all falling apart.

GOD IS IN CHARGE OF WORLD AFFAIRS

God sets up ruler and kings, and disposes them as He wills. No matter how much you may not like Trump, God did put him there in the White House for a second term. Yes he did halt the progression of ungodly developments like LBGT etc. 

Communism isn’t perfect. I remember reading the novel as part of my high school textbook “Animal Farm” which is a satirical mockery of communism and its ideals. But God did use Mao Zedong to reunite China, wiping out all the corrupted officials in Kuomintang and the oppressive rich landlords.   

Communism had united the Chinese again; one language that connects the 1.4 billion people. Yes Communism is atheistic. But another way to look at it is that it is fertile spiritual ground. The danger when you stop believing in the Truth is not that you will believe in nothing, but that you will believe in absolutely anything. We all have a spiritual compass and a desire for the Truth.

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

China is the elephant in the room. The Great Commission would not be complete without talking about China. Ps Alvin “If we want to impact the world we can’t ignore China”. In these end times there will be a renaissance in China. It is prophesized that by 2030, China may have 30% of its population as Christians and be the most populous Christian nation on earth.  God wants China to prosper and be a sheep nation, then to reach out to the ends of the world through its Belt & Road Initiative. God’s wants China to rule the world. China will rise up and help finance the end time harvest. 

When Martin Jacques published the book “When China Rules The World” I was one of the first to purchase. Prof.Kishore Mahbubani’s book “Has China Won?” is another prophetic confirmation of the impending supremacy of China.

 14t

Jerusalem is considered the central focal point of the end times, often described as the place where the "truth" (the kingdom of God, the Messiah, and final judgment) will be revealed. Let us continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

PRAY FOR CHINA

We know the spiritual world controls the physical world. There are four (4) demons that sits at each corner of the earth. In the north there is the prince of Persia. In the south there is the demon queen. Her dislodgement was linked to the Tsunami in 2004. Tsunami is associated with the Pacific and not the Indian Ocean and hence there were no detectors installed then.  

Sitting in Tibet is Beelzebub who controls the spiritual atmosphere of China. Genghis Khan who built an empire with the largest land mass even bigger than the Roman empire, left Tibet alone. Those days the warring nations all pray to their gods, and when they were defeated they changed their gods as Ps Alvin puts it. When Genghis Khan marched to Tibet he recognised he was dealing with a higher level demon, and left Tibet alone. 

The Tibetan monks use tantrism to control the people and sexually repress the women in Tibet. When the communist liberated Tibet, there found over a million skulls in the Potala Palace in Lhasa. 

Now there are lamas all over the China who use black magic to (1) control the rich (2) control women, including famous Chinese celebrities and tycoons. The previously exiled 14th Dalai Lama had so much influenced around the globe albeit paid by the CIA to destabilise China. 

SUPERPOWER

CHINA is the next superpower by God’s design. China will soon be the most populous Christian nation on earth. Pax Romana led to peace and stability and the gospel spreading all over the west. Now it is time for Pax Sinim. Amen! There is no need to go against communism. The problem is trust. They need to know we are a friend, and not to destabilise the country. God Bless China!
