Revelation 9:16).<\/p>\n<p>Yet, China will not be number one.  Notice what <a href=\"\/ylcg.htm\">LCG&#8217;s<\/a> Roderick C. Meredith has written:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Many publications have suggested that the 21st century   will be \u201cChina\u2019s century.\u201d Even though the Chinese are fiercely moving   forward, and their progress in developing their industries is obvious,   these publications are dead wrong for two reasons. First, the inspired   word of God describes specifically how a coming European Union will be   the dominant force in this world\u2014obviously within the next several   years. Therefore, brethren, I would like to focus your mind on this   matter so you can more intelligently \u201cwatch\u201d world events along this   line as they unfold before your very eyes. <strong>In the coming years, you will perhaps even see a revolt of the peasants in the outlying Chinese cities<\/strong>,  who have lagged far behind the standard of living afforded those who  have moved to Beijing and Shanghai. Plus, the<strong> tremendous pollution of  the water, air and foodstuffs may bring about  massive disease epidemics  and other problems for the Chinese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, distracting wars and other events may\u2014 as God chooses to   guide it\u2014greatly undermine the material progress now being made by the   Chinese\u2026<\/p>\n<p>So the 21st century will not be the \u201cChinese century!\u201d (Meredith R.C.   An Inspiring and Successful Trip. Living Church News. May-June 2007,  p.  21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>China\u2019s pollution, potential for significant social unrest, and how   it is discussed in biblical prophecy demonstrate that the 21st century   will not belong to China.  China will not become number 1, but Europe, whose economy is possibly larger than the USA&#8217;s currently, will be. \u00a0 America itself will decline, and may be history by 2016, presuming that the Great Tribulation starts by then.<\/p>\n<p>Watch and see.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some articles involving the Asian peoples that may be of interest may include the following:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/china.htm\">China, Its Biblical Past and Future, Part 1: Genesis and Chinese Characters<\/a> Where did the Chinese people come from?
