Australians concerned about Chinese military intentions

Australia’s Julia Gillard

Many in Australia are having increased concerns about China and its military:

SYDNEY — A new poll released Monday indicated that more than 40 percent of Australians think China will become a military threat in the coming decades. The annual study from the independent research organization, the Lowy Institute, also finds that many Australians believe their government is allowing too much Chinese investment. Despite these fears, the poll also shows that Australians say they appreciate how important trade is with China.

The survey shows that attitudes towards China among many Australians are cooling. There is suspicion about a potential military threat and wariness about growing Chinese investment in Australia…

Alex Oliver, a research fellow at the Lowy Institute, says despite a lucrative trade relationship, there is mistrust in Australia towards China.

“The majority of Australians say the Australian government allows too much investment from China, and a significant minority, and this is really interesting given that China is now Australia’s largest trading partner, think that China is likely to become a military threat to Australia in the next 20 years. So that is a wary relationship, it is an ambivalent relationship and it is going to be complicated for any government to resolve,” said Oliver.

Around 1,000 people were quizzed by the Lowy Institute about their attitudes to foreign policy and other countries.

More than 60 percent of respondents say they believe China will eventually replace the United States as the world’s leading superpower, while 12 percent say it already has.

According to the poll, the long-standing military alliance with the U.S. remains Australia’s most significant international relationship.

Australians consider their ties with Britain, Ireland, Germany and the United States to be the most valuable, while the most mistrusted relationships are with Indonesia, Israel, Burma, Iran and North Korea. http://www.voanews.com/content/polls-shows-australians-wary-of-china/1687846.html

Well, some in Australia are starting to realize a threat I have warned about for some time. Yet, it should be more than 40%.

When Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard was elected, on June 24, 2010 I wrote the following in a post (see Australia Now Has a Female Prime Minister: Prophetic Ramifications?):

Certain biblical, Chinese, and other prophecies, mentioned in the Arroyo Grande, California published book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, discuss that how Australia itself may become taken over. By virtue of her timing, Julia Gillard may inadvertently pursue policies that will lead to the fulfillment of various end time prophecies. Her role as Australia’s new prime minister will have prophetic ramifications.

I have had concerns about China and Australia for some time. Here is something from my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect on that:

There is also an ancient Chinese prophecy that might hint that areas like Australia and/or New Zealand could end up as part of China…Perhaps it should be mentioned that the dividing of the conquered lands also seems to be foretold in the Bible in Lamentations 4:16 and Joel 3:2…

The ancient Chinese prophecy states, “Population mouth takes territories south of the Yangtze river. The capital is moved again. The two divide up the territories, of which each maintains and defends.”

This may be related to a deal that perhaps the Chinese will make in the future with Europe, as opposed to military conquest. It also may not be related to the taking of Australia or New Zealand, but perhaps might be.

This Chinese prophecy, combined with Bible prophecy and recent developments, should be of concern to those living in Australia or New Zealand.

Here is something from my book Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States-Second Edition for Second Obama Term:

China and the Land Prophecy

There is also an ancient Chinese prophecy that could hint that areas like Australia and/or New Zealand could end up as part of China.[i] The Chinese, in reaction to a deal made by Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Barack Obama to station U.S. Marines in Darwin, have indicated that this and the expanded military cooperation between Australia and the U.S.A. is putting Australia at risk of attack by China.[ii]

China may be granted lands like Australia in partial repayment for the debts that the U.S.A. owes it, as well as in full payment for any debts Europe itself may incur with China (it is likely that China will loan money and/or increase investments in Europe). It is also possible that a country like Japan may get some Anglo-dominated land (New Zealand comes to mind) in partial repayment for the debts that the U.S.A. owes it (and also possibly Europe) since the King of the North will divide land for gain.

[i] Pui-Hua, p. 164. The ancient Chinese prophecy states, “Population mouth takes territories south of the Yangtze river. The capital is moved again. The two divide up the territories, of which each maintains and defends.” This may be related to a deal that perhaps the Chinese will make in the future with Europe, as opposed to military conquest. It also may not be related to the taking of Australia or New Zealand, but perhaps might be. (Thiel B. Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States-Second Edition for Second Obama Term. Nazarene Books, 2013, p. 119)

Notice also something that I posted back on November 10, 2011 (see Obama Putting ‘Permanent’ Troops in Australia Because of China, But…):

The presence of US troops in China may be used as part of its possible future justification for taking the land of Australia. The Chinese may claim something to the effect that Australia is really a military pawn/representative of the USA…The implication for Australia is more than profound–the implications are disastrous.

And within a week of posting the above, the Chinese began to confirm my concerns (see Chinese Upset Enough About USA in Australia that its Hinting About Militarily Hitting Australia):

China getting upset enough about the USA troops to be stationed in Australia that it is dropping militaristic hints:

A Marine Base for Australia Irritates China

DARWIN, Australia — Fresh from announcing an expanded American military presence in Australia, a plan that has angered China, President Obama came to this remote northern town that will be the base of operations…

The Global Times, a state-run news organization known for its nationalist and bellicose commentaries, issued a stronger reaction in an editorial, saying that Australia should be cautious about allowing the United States to use bases there to “harm China” and that it risked getting “caught in the cross-fire.” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/18/world/asia/obama-addresses-troops-at-final-stop-in-australia.html

The Australians themselves hope that the USA will be able to protect them. Yet, the presence of US troops in China may be used as part of its possible future justification for taking the land of Australia. The Chinese may claim something to the effect that Australia is really a military pawn/representative of the USA and thus, since the USA owes them money, taking over Australia will help settle that debt.

China is rising up and the USA is declining militarily relative to it as well as to Europe right now. This does not bode well for the USA nor its allies like Australia. The implication for Australia is more than profound–the implications are disastrous.

The Bible suggests that the land of the Anglo-descended peoples will be conquered and divided (Daniel 11:39; Lamentations 4:16; Joel 3:2-3; Amos 7:17; Ezekiel 5:1-2,12; 6:8; Ezekiel 22:13-15; )

Without national repentance, the nation of Australia is doomed. Period.

Many do not wish to accept that, either here in the USA, over in New Zealand, or in Australia, but it is the truth. These nations will be taken over, and it may be that China will control part of the land.

This century will be the final “time of the Gentiles,” though it will be for a while led by Europe and not the Chinese (see also A Is China THE Threat to the United States of America? and Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?).
