We will consider here Biblical prophecy, in particular the new testament Book of Revelation, and the old testament Book of Daniel. The Book of Revelation has prophecies of future world events, in particular the rise to power of an evil dictator called the Beast or the Antichrist, he is in Revelation Chapter 13. I believe the Antichrist will come out of Russia, and may be Russian President Putin.
Note that the Antichrist is described in Revelation 13:2 (King James Version):
"And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."
I believe the Feet of a Bear is referring to Russia, and the Dragon refers to Satan himself, who is the dragon in Biblical terminology, but also I believe the dragon is referring to Red China. This would imply a Russia-China military alliance. This would also imply that Russia will gain a great deal of military power from China's huge armed forces. And the "seat" may be referring to Russia geographically sitting on top of China.
The Old Testament Book of Daniel's prophecies help explain the Book of Revelation's prophecies in Revelation 13. In chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel, Daniel saw a vision of 4 beasts rising out of the sea, representing future empires to come. The first beast was like a lion, and had a man's heart. The second beast was a bear with three ribs in its mouth. The third beast was a leopard with wings and 4 heads. The fourth beast had iron teeth and 10 horns, one of which was a man that spoke great things. These are believed the represent the Babylonian empire (the lion), Medo-Persian empire (the bear), and Greek empire of Alexander (the leopard-- Alexander had the speed of a leopard during military conquest), and the Roman empire (with iron teeth). It is also believed that the final empire may be talking about the Antichrist -- the man who speaks great things. Note that these beasts are combined into the 10-horned beast of Revelation 13, which has the mouth of a lion, feet of a bear, the speed of a leopard, and 10 horns representing a confederation of 10 states. This could be Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, evolving into this angry beast. This may mean that there will be an increasingly close military alliance between Russia and China, because the beast gets its power from the dragon, which would be Red China. Note that Russia is selling some of its best military weapons to China, including ships, submarines, radar systems, and jet planes, and Russia is also selling nuclear power plants and missles to Iran.
And in Revelation 16, the River Euphrates in Iraq is dried up so that the army of the King of the East (China?) can cross it to the Battle of Armageddon. It is interesting that a severe drought was drying up the River Euphrates in 1999, this was the worst drought in Iraq in his century, and also Turkey is building dams upstream which could dry up this river, so this is another sign that Armageddon is approaching.
Revelation 16:12 "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water therof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared." My painting of this prophecy:
Also referring to the dragon is Revelation 12:3:
"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon..." 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent...he was cast out into earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
In Revelation 12 the red dragon is referring to Satan, but may also be referring to China, North Korea, and/or Russia. Also see the page on SARS disease, and COVID-19, which started in China; I relate SARS and COVID-19 to the Red Dragon. SARS and COVID-19 would be a demon coming out of the mouth of the dragon China, described in Revelation 16, where the dragon and the two beasts send out demons.
Note that China's first leader, (and most blood-thirsty leader, the present tyrants in charge of Red China are mild compared to Mao), Chairman Mao Zedong, was born on Dec. 26, 1893, the day after Christmas. His being born at Christmas is an indication of Mao being a type of evil Antichrist. Mao's periods of greatest blood-thirstiness and terror were during China's Cultural Revolution from 1966-1976, when Mao encouraged China's youth to put on trial much of China's older adult population, to purge the country of "non-revolutionary" influences, and also when Mao exterminated Tibetan Buddhism by terror and murder, after his Chinese invasion of Tibet. Of the worst tyrants and murderers of the 20th century, only Stalin and Hitler can surpass Mao for evil. Note that Mao's death on Sept. 9, 1976, ended a 31 year period of 17 666 day cycles, as I discuss on the 666 day intervals page. If we consider Mao's birthplace in China, at Shao-shan, Hunan province, China, at geographic coordinates 27.9 N 112.6 E, we will consider the coordinates as related to Bible passage numbers, in particular the Book of Revelation, which is the main topic of this web site. Mao being born at 28 degrees N we will relate to Revelation 12:8 where the angry red dragon is cast down to earth, Revelation 12:7-9:
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
Here the Red Dragon represents Satan, but I think a second meaning is that the Red Dragon is China and Russia, and Chairman Mao in particular. Also the red dragon could be North Korea which in August 2015 was threatening to start a Korean nuclear war. Mao's birth was the casting of the red dragon to earth. And the red dragon, Red China, is growing stronger.
