It is the sixth of seven bowls of God\u2019s wrath:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, \u201cGo and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.\u201d (Revelation 16:1)<\/p>\n<p>12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of<strong> the kings from the east<\/strong> might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.<\/p>\n<p>15 \u201cBehold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12-16)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For them to gather, they must cross over land to get to Armageddon.<\/p>\n<p>The kings of the east reference refers to Asian nations, including Russia, whose border extends to the farthest parts of the east\u2013and China which is commonly believed to be part of the \u2018far east.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>While the primary road of the BRI\/Silk Road project does not go to Armageddon, it will make getting there a lot easier. So, will the naval route.<\/p>\n<p>The pathways to Armageddon are being set.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in one respect the point of the BRI is for all roads to lead to China.<\/p>\n<p>China expects this will help it with trade and international influence. And it certainly appears that it will.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if one goes in the opposite direction, then the roads (including naval routes) go back from Europe to all across Asia and into Africa. There is also an arctic route expected with connects Europe from the north.<\/p>\n<p>Italy&#8217;s involvement with the project really puts Europe on the BRI map.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Bible teaches that it will be Europe that will dominate world trade, Italy&#8217;s expected involvement in the BRI looks to be a way that Europe will get access to markets in Asia and Africa.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the Bible teaches the following about an end time European power:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"verse-number\">2 \u2026 Babylon \u2026 3<\/span> <span class=\"verse-3\"> For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. (Revelation 18:2,3)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The above is referring to the fact that nations of the world are prophesied to get wealthy trading with end time Babylon, which will be a European entity. This European power will have religious ties to the City of Seven Hills\u2013the Church of Rome:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"v-1\" class=\"verse font-helvetica\"><span class=\"verse-number\">1<\/span> <span class=\"verse-1\"> Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, \u201cCome, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, <\/span><span class=\"verse-number\">2<\/span> <span class=\"verse-2\"> with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.\u201d (Revelation 17:1-2)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"verse-number\">9<\/span> <span class=\"verse-9\"> Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. \u2026 18<\/span> <span class=\"verse-18\"> And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.\u201d (Revelation 17:9,18)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bible tells of a trading power arising in Europe that is tied to the City of Seven Hills. Europe, the United Nations, and the Vatican have stated that they have agreed on essentially the same future for the world. Interestingly, the Chinese BRI looks to assist with that.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 1971, the old Worldwide Church of God (WCG) published the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Momentous, historic events are transforming Western Europe. But most Americans are \u201casleep at the switch\u201d to what is happening. It\u2019s time for a self-centered America to wake up \u2013 before her allies become her enemies. Envision the startling future of Western Europe. A \u2026 union of perhaps 250 million people, surpassing both the United States and the Soviet Union in economic strength, possessing for the first time worldwide political power and influence. One news source recently called it an \u201cenormous, physically powerful beast.\u201d A new Western Europe controlling perhaps half of all world trade, by exclusive arrangements with dozens of nations who produce raw materials. A \u201cUnited States of Europe\u201d possessing one single currency \u2013 a currency so strong that it will replace the U. S. dollar as the kingpin currency of world trade.(Hogberg G.<span class=\"font_title4\"><b>EUROPE\u2019S COMMON MARKET RISING WORLD COLOSSUS<\/b><\/span>. Plain Truth, 1971)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, Europe does have its own currency\u2013a currency that some see as the logical replacement for the US dollar for world trade\u2013especially because of US sanctions, etc. (see also <a title=\"Permanent Link to SWIFT end of the USA by 2025 as EU, Russia, China, and Iran take steps?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/swift-end-of-the-usa-by-2025-as-eu-russia-china-and-iran-take-steps\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">SWIFT end of the USA by 2025 as EU, Russia, China, and Iran take steps?<\/a>). Now, let me add that less than a decade after the above was published, the WCG publicly announced that Eastern Europe would also be part of this European power. And within a decade of that, Eastern European nations began to officially join in with what has become the European Union. And, in population (over 510 million), the European Union is actually larger than that of the USA and Russia combined (though once the UK is out, it will be a bit smaller\u2013yet other nations want to become part of it).<\/p>\n<p>The prophecies in Revelation 18 about the trading Babylonian power will come to pass.<\/p>\n<p>Infrastructure helps trade, and that is what the BRI project is intent on doing.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible tells that many will become rich by the coming daughter of Babylon system, but that it will eventually end, and many will mourn:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>11 \u201cAnd the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, \u2018Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.\u2019 Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, \u2018What is like this great city?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>19 \u201cThey threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, \u2018Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.\u2019\u00a0 (Revelation 18:11-19)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A massive trading system, also involving human trafficking is discussed in the Hebrew scriptures as well:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>12 &#8220;Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods. 13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14 Those from the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules. 15 The men of Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment. 16 Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies. (Ezekiel 27:12-16)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Human trafficking is again going to become &#8216;legal&#8217; (or at least tolerated).
