China's Warning to Israel and End Times Prophecy: Is the Stage Being Set?

Posted May 18, 2025 | End Times Watch

The headlines are growing louder: China is publicly warning Israel to cease its bombing campaign in Gaza. At first glance, this might appear to be just another diplomatic move in a long-standing global conflict. But for those who read the Bible, especially the King James Version (KJV), such global realignments echo something deeper and far more profound: the steady march toward the end times.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how China’s recent involvement fits within the prophetic timeline of the Bible and why it may signal that the world is inching ever closer to the climactic events described in Scripture.

1. Revelation 16:12 – The Kings of the East

“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” – Revelation 16:12 (KJV)

This mysterious passage refers to the kings of the east, a powerful group of nations poised to play a role in the final battle of Armageddon. Many biblical scholars believe this refers to nations from Asia, particularly China, due to its growing economic and military might.

As China becomes more vocal in Middle Eastern affairs, its actions may be laying the diplomatic groundwork for future military involvement. While this passage speaks of a specific event during the Tribulation, the pieces of the puzzle appear to be moving into place even now.

2. Zechariah 12: A Cup of Trembling

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about…” – Zechariah 12:2 (KJV) “…all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces…” – Zechariah 12:3 (KJV)

The Bible predicts that Jerusalem will become a flashpoint for international crisis—a burdensome stone that nations cannot ignore. China’s recent condemnation of Israel’s actions and its push for a ceasefire is a stark reminder that the world is turning its attention to Jerusalem just as God said it would.

These growing tensions around Israel suggest that the prophetic clock is ticking.

3. The Gog and Magog War – Ezekiel 38–39

Though China is not explicitly mentioned by name in the Gog and Magog prophecy, the coalition of nations includes many regions north and east of Israel—Russia, Iran (Persia), Turkey, and others. China could easily play a supportive or logistical role in this future alliance.

Whether as an ally, arms supplier, or economic partner, China’s stance against Israel aligns it with a prophetic coalition destined to rise against God’s chosen people. This certainly is not the final battle yet—but the alliances are forming.

4. A Global System Rising – Revelation 13

“And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” – Revelation 13:7 (KJV)

In the Tribulation, a one-world government led by the Antichrist will gain control over commerce, religion, and geopolitics. China’s mediation between global powers and its advocacy for a two-state solution place it in a central role in the conversation about global peace and governance.

We may be witnessing the slow and subtle formation of the infrastructure the Antichrist will soon control.

Conclusion: The Prophetic Puzzle Is Coming Together

We must be cautious not to leap to conclusions, but neither should we ignore the convergence of biblical prophecy and modern headlines. China’s increasing pressure on Israel, its diplomatic prominence, and its geographic identity as part of the “kings of the east” are all worth watching through the lens of Scripture.

The Bible tells us that when we see these things beginning to come to pass, we are to lift up our heads, for our redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28).

The 7-year Tribulation Period is about to begin. Are you ready?
