-and if they say they can, then fail...will you abandon your faith?
IDK, we get alot of people purportedly convinced in the truth of their religions by the force of prophecy...but I don't find that interesting. Rightly or wrongly, I get that. What I want to hear from are the people who believed in the prophecies so much that when their religions totally fucked it..they abandoned them. It's not a thing. The jehovah people will be predicting the end of the world imanenently from here to..well...the end of the world. That's as common as a potato chip. I want to get my mitts around a true believer that really does take this stuff as instructive.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

based on historic precedence, a modern nation with largely normal population age distribution, fully mobilized for war, can put roughly one in 8 people into uniform to fight. We saw that with germany, USSR, the US, etc during WWI and WWII.
So india could potentially put 200 million into uniform as well based on its population of 1.4 billion. however china has a rather unfortunate population age distribution for the purpose of mass mobilization because 40 years of rigid one child policy deprived china of a about half of the people of mobilization age of 18-45 that she would have had. to make it even worse, it is socially much more disruptive to draft the only child for cannon fodder duty than if there are usually multiple siblings from which to chose a cannon fodder. if there is one thing that will rile up the chinese population to overthrow the ruling communist party it would probably be a government effort to take away all the only childs of all the parents to send them into the meat grinder. so china is likely incapable of mobilizing 200 million for military service even if there is overwhelming incentive for it to do so.

I doubt your religious view claim but whatever. If you don't consider the 200 million showing up in two totally unrelated snippets then I'll just probably consider you a conspiracy nut and leave it at that.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
India, 200 million soldiers..hahahahahaha! If world wars were so easy to win......

Putting seemingly overwhelmingly large number of soldiers into the field has very little to do with winning, as Russia’s experience in WWI demonstrates. For that matter Soviet experience during the first 12 month of German invasion in 1941 also shows this. The men sent to die need to know how to accomplish something before dying, and the organization and infrastructure behind them has to provide them with the wherewithal to accomplish something before dying. Otherwise there is nothing easier than killing untrained and poorly equipped men playing at war. No matter how big is the opposing army, it is always possible to fire more bullets at them than they have men to absorb the bullets.  RE: If you're really a spektic then explain this:
