CHINA STATES ITS GOAL IS WORLD DOMINATION OVER THE USA

March 8th, 2010

The link below has a very explosive revelation about China’s warlike intentions against the USA. I expect this will be covered up by the establishment media in the USA who do not want the American citizens to realize how endangered they really are.

A new book released in China by a senior Chinese military official openly states that China’s intention should be to “move swiftly to topple the United States” (emphasis added). It further states that China must become the world’s “top power,” and urges China to “use its growing revenues to become the world’s biggest military power.”  It also sees “little chance of avoiding deepening rivalry with the United States whether peaceful or warlike.” Indeed, it even offers a timetable for when war will occur between China and the USA. It predicts that “China cannot escape the calamity of war, and that this calamity may come in the not-too-distant future, at most in 10-20 years.” That means that such a war may be possible in a lot less than ten years.

You can be sure that this book by top Chinese military officers would not have been officially released unless it expressed the viewpoints of the Chinese Communist Party which governs China. This book is tantamount to an ultimatum to the USA to “surrender or else” face war with China in the foreseeable future. I fear that President Obama is such a weak leader and that the U.S. Congress is so self-indulgent and corrupt that they might opt for a “surrender” to which the American people would not consent. However, this “surrender” might be made in backroom deals without any Americans being made aware of it. The U.S. Congress needs a lot of brand new members with some backbone to make the hard decisions and face the hard times to come. Remember that in the November elections! The American Executive Branch seems clueless concerning this danger.

If anyone still needed confirmation that the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 is coming to pass right before our eyes, this link should provide that confirmation. Warn your friends. The media won’t tell them about this “real and present danger” that was prophesied 2500 years ago by the prophet Ezekiel under the inspiration of God’s Holy Spirit. Modern events are proving that the Bible is, indeed, the Inspired Word of the Creator of mankind who is making sure his prophecies are fulfilled in our latter-day period of time.

The West was asleep or in denial as Hitler’s Germany rose to power. Only a few “watchmen” like Winston Churchill saw the danger and tried to warn the western allies about the imminent danger. Today, China, Russia and Iran are rising to lead the prophesied Gog-Magog alliance and the West is, again, asleep or in denial regarding the danger it faces.

Do you believe the Beast will be a Roman and his empire will be a revised Roman Empire?

March 7th, 2010

Steve,
 
Again, concerning you article “Two Witnesses” you talk about the death of the Two Witnesses and the world rejoicing over their deaths. It’ll be the Islamic world that rejoices over their deaths.
 
Concerning the Beast and his empire. Do you believe the Beast will be a Roman and his empire will be a revised Roman Empire? Or, that the anti-Christ will be an Assyrian?
 
You don’t touch on this issue in your article.
 
Jeff 

MYREPLY

 
Jeff,
 
Given that Revelation 11:4 prophecies the Two Witnesses’ ministry will include “the earth” and that verse 6 adds they will smite “the earth” with plagues as often as they wish, I think all nations on earth will rejoice over their death. I expect the beast to emerge from within the western alliance of nations, but I am not predicting any particular nationality for that person. God will reveal it in his timetable.  The same applies for the anti-Christ, but I doubt that he will be a modern Assyrian.

Mormans and Jesus in America?

March 7th, 2010

Steve,

I am a Messianic believer (not Jewish).  My husband and I have just finished leading a HaYesod class (developed by First Fruits of Zion FFOZ).  One couple in our class borrowed and read our copy of The Lost Tribes of Israel….Found!”  They are Mormons, and were intrigued about Yeshua coming to America.  How does the Mormon belief in this fit or not fit, into history?  They are full of questions!
 
Sincerely,
 
Gray Miner

MYREPLY

 
 
Dear Gray,
 
Thank you for your question. My books make the case that Jesus/Yahshua visited not only North America, but the British Isles, Parthia and other locations during the 18 year gap in his life between ages 12 and 30 on which biblical accounts are almost totally silent. My books present evidence that Joseph of Arimathea was an older male relative of Jesus/Yashua and mentored him–taking him to the Temple when Jesus/Yashua was 12 years of age (when Jesus/Yashua stated he had to begin being “about his Father’s business). My books also offer evidence that Joseph of Arimathea was a prominent Roman official with dual Roman/Jewish citizenship, and that his commercial business required regular, long overseas voyages. As the protégé of Joseph, Jesus/Yahshua was able to accompany him on those voyages. The accounts in Matthew 8:23-27 and Luke 8:22-25 offer circumstantial support to the view that Jesus/Yahshua had been on long oceanic voyages and was accustomed to large sea swells. The disciples were caught in a storm on an inland sea and thought they were about to perish. Jesus, on the other hand, was sleeping contentedly on the boat before he was awakened and then ordered the sea to be calm. Storms on the ocean would produce far greater sea wells and waves than would be possible on a small inland sea like the sea of Galilee. The Bible teaches that Jesus/Yahshua was both fully Divine and fully human. The human side of him would be subject to seasickness like any other human. However, this account indicates that his body had become accustomed to very large sea swells (which would be common on oceanic voyages) and that his body had learned to relax and sleep during them.
 
I won’t give away all the evidence that is offered in my books, but it is my belief that Jesus/Yahshua visited the New World before his last 3 and 1/2 year ministry in Judea that led to his crucifixion. While I am not a Mormon, I have Mormon friends and it is my understanding that they believe that Jesus/Yahshua visited the New World after his resurrection.

The Lost Tribes of Israel….Found!

March 7th, 2010

Steve,

A few years ago I read your book, The Lost Tribes of Israel….Found!”  I found it fascinating, and bought another to share with friends.  The “shared” one was read by several of our friends, but has since “disappeared”.  I just loaned our only copy to a new friend and she too found it fascinating and wants her own copy.   We’ve checked all the Internet book cites, and have found it is out of print and the existing available copies are priced at $95!!!  I’m sure when we made the purchase it was about $15.  Is there anyway to get a copy at a reasonable price?
 
Sincerely,
 
Gray Miner

MYREPLY

 
Dear Gray,
 
A number of people have contacted me with the same request that you made. However, there simply are no more new copies of my book, The “Lost” Ten Tribes of Israel…Found!. After four printings, they have all been sold out for some time. Others have also told me that single copies of my first book are now selling at very high prices on the secondary market…if they can be found at all. However, you do have an attractive alternative.
 
Currently in print is my four-volume set of books on the same subject as my initial book that is now out of print. The titles of the four-book set are The Origins and Empire of Ancient Israel, Israel’s Lost Empires, Parthia–The Forgotten Ancient Superpower and Israel’s Tribes Today. These newer derivative books include much more information than was in my first book, as well as many photographs and illustrations that were not in my initial book. They also have extensive indexes which my first book did not have. You may obtain the entire set of 4 new books for $80 ($72 plus $8 shipping fees), which is cheaper than the $95 being asked for my less-informative initial book on the used-book market. The newer books can be ordered on-line by following the “books” links at my homepage, or you can send $80 (money order or check) to Steven Collins, PO Box 88735, Sioux Falls, SD  57109-8735.

Two Witnesses (Elijah and Elisha)?

March 7th, 2010

Steve,
    
Been reading your article “Two Witnesses.” Have you noticed the Elijah dwelt exclusively with the house of Israel and had no dealings whatsoever with the house of Judah (with the exception of the letter you mentioned) and John the Baptist dwelt exclusively with the house of Judah while having no contact whatsoever with the house of Israel. This raises an interesting question as to just who the “you” is in “Behold, I will send you…” in Mal 4. Elijah was an Israelite and John the Baptist was a Jew. The first “Elijah” dealt with Israel and the second “Elijah” dealt with Judah. So who will the third “Elijah” (Mal. 4) deal with? Both, I believe. That being said, the third “Elijah” will no doubt be preaching Christianity when Mal. 4 is fulfilled. How will the Jews receive him? Will the Jews receive him? 
    
There’s no mention in Scripture that the Two Witnesses will have any contact with Israel or Judah during their ministry. I believe they will—but I can’t quote chapter and verse to prove it.   
    
Just thinking out loud.
Jeff

MYREPLY

 
Jeff,
 
You bring up an interesting point about Elijah and John the Baptist. It raises the possibility that one of the Two Witnesses will be from modern Israel and one from modern Judah. I agree with you that the modern “Elijah” has to be Christian, and since Elisha had a “double portion of Elijah’s spirit, the Two Witnesses fit the twosome of Elijah and Elisha very well. I also expect that they will deal with both Israel and Judah (and many other nations as well).

Star of Bethlehem

March 7th, 2010

Mr. Collins,

I have really been enjoying reading your books and friends of ours hear you at the church in SF, SD so that’s exciting; it has so given us a whole different view of things.  I was wanting to mention to you to watch “Star of Bethlehem” by Rick Larson where he uses the internet and computer to go back to the very possibly ’star of bethlehem’ – wow its interesting!

kim buck

MYREPLY

 
Dear Kim,
 
I’m delighted to hear that you are enjoying my books and that your friends at a local church in Sioux Falls are hearing me on the subject. I teach a Life Group re: my books at Church at the Gate so that must be the church you referenced.
 
I’m not familiar with Rick Larson’s views re: “the star of Bethlehem,” but I appreciate your suggestion.

China’s War on the US Economy

I’ve been reading your website for over a year.  I thought you might be interested in the following link RE: China’s war on the U.S. economy

Dear Stephanie,
 
Thank you for sending this link which details the extent of China’s spying on US businesses so it can gain competitive advantages over US competing American products. The link correctly notes that the US government should protect the patents and trade secrets of US businesses, but my blog on February 7th reported that President Obama actually helped Chinese spying efforts against America by inexplicably downgrading the threat status of China’s espionage efforts.

Ordering Books Question

March 7th, 2010

Hello Sir

I would like to order all four books but I notice that the first of the series is out of print. When will the reprint be available. Also, how do I get to the publisher`s website – I need to pay by credit card as I am live in Africa and it therefore is the easiest way to make payment?

Regards

Helmut Burger
 

MYREPLY

 
Dear Helmut,
 
All four books in my current series on the history of the ten tribes of Israel are in print and can be ordered without any problem. The first book in that series, The Origin and Empire of Ancient Israel, is in print. The book that is out-of-print is my initial book, The “Lost” Ten Tribes of Israel…Found! The four-book set that is now available was based on that initial book, but the expanded four-book set includes photos of ancient artifacts, many illustrations, new information, indexes, etc. You may order the books on-line via credit card by going to the “books” link at my website which will take you to the publisher’s website for ordering. Your shipping fees can be calculated on-line as well for international orders.

Daniel’s Prater and the Ten Tribes

March 7th, 2010

Steve,

This is something I added to an article I wrote about the 10 tribes.

Have you noticed this in the book of Daniel?                                                    

Jeff Booth  

                                                       Daniel’s Prayer

 

The prophet Daniel, knowing that Judah’s 70-year punishment and exile in Babylon was winding to a close, (Dan. 9:2) lifted up a prayer for God to forgive His people.  The first 20 verses in chapter 9 consist of a prayer. Verse 7 gives us a glimpse of the house of Israel during this time period.       

 

“O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.” Dan. 9:7.

 
You’ll notice that Daniel makes a distinction between Judah and Israel in this prayer,  “…men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem…” refers to the house of Judah. “…all Israel,” refers to the northern kingdom. He describes them as being “…far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them…” This creates problems for those who claim the Israel exited Assyria, trekked southward to Babylon and joined themselves with Judah and returned with Ezra. According to verse 7 they did no such thing. Israel was still in exile and far removed from Judah and Babylon when Daniel lifted up this prayer. “…that are near…” refers to the scant numbers of the northern kingdom that were attached to Judah as discussed earlier. Israel was not in Babylon with Judah when Daniel spoke these words.  

 
 
Jeff,
 
Thank you for sending your comments on this subject. I am aware of this argument that supports the view that the ten tribes were widely scattered by the time of Daniel 9. Indeed, I’ve used it both in writings and speeches over the years. The point is an excellent biblical one; however, and it is worth repeating. I’ll post your comments at the website for others to see as well. The Israelites who were “afar off’ were the ones who scattered to the Black Sea, Carthage, Iberia/Spain, the British Isles, etc. Those who were “near” were, in my judgment, the Israelites who were taken captive by the Assyrian Empire and were later dominated by the Babylonian Empire.

CHINA FORGING TIES WITH EGYPT

March 7th, 2010

Today’s blog is short, but offers a revealing insight. The link below reports that one of China’s top military officials met recently with the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian armed forces in Cairo. The Egyptian official commented on the “close cooperation in military, political and economic fields [between the two nations] in recent years,” and the Chinese official stated that China is “willing to make joint efforts with the Egyptian side to consolidate the traditional friendship and push for in-depth cooperation between the two militaries” (emphasis added).

What is going on here? China and Egypt have not historically been close in any way. Russia was Egypt’s ally and weapons supplier during much of the Cold War and the USA has been an ally and weapons supplier to Egypt after the Cold War. Egypt may be playing the USA and China against each other to get a better deal from both nations, and China is surely looking to make inroads in regions of the world where the USA and the West have been dominant.

What I think is going on is that China is aggressively seeking to separate the USA from its overseas allies to the greatest extent possible. A recent blog noted that Turkey is being enticed into the “Gog-Magog” orbit by Iran (which would hugely benefit Russia) , and now China is making overtures to Egypt. The USA and the West are now rightly perceived as being weak, and I believe China is making the case to many nations to “switch sides” and join the Gog-Magog alliance prophesied in Ezekiel 38 to become powerful in our modern “latter day” period. The USA, the UK, and the Eurozone are all in fiscal crisis due to many years of profligate spending and debt excesses. China can offer hard currencies and dollar surpluses to nations it is courting, but all the USA can offer is more “funny money” from the Federal Reserve Board. China, Russia and Iran are building a militarily-powerful alliance, while NATO is militarily weak and the USA has been dissipating its military strength in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also don’t think there is any doubt that President Obama is perceived as a weak and inexperienced leader by foreign nations.

The USA and NATO need to “get their houses in order” quickly. The rest of the world is aware of their economic, monetary and military weakness, and China, Russia and Iran are exploiting that weakness as much as possible as they attract as many nations as they can into the Gog-Magog alliance. The USA and the West need to come out of their stupor…soon.
