As much as evangelicals have tried to fit the US into their absurd eschatological fantasies
I think it's pretty clear from scripture, the saints, and various private revelations that
America will be at such a point of decline as a world power...or annihilated, by the time the
antichrist arrives on the world stage, as to be inconsequential. I suspect the same of China.
At most they are very peripheral players despite their seeming dominance at the moment.
The events of Revelation will play out almost exclusively in central Europe and in the Middle East.
How the Russian/Ukraine conflict unfolds will be very revealing.
Nothing like a world war to flip the chessboard and refigure the globe.
I expect a series of fαℓѕє fℓαg events in the coming years...more pandemics, famines, EMP attacks,
and even a phony UFO attack.
