If you're really a spektic then explain this:

If you're really a spektic then explain this:
The book of Revleation predicts in end times there will be a 200 million man army from the East. Now recently China has said it can produce a 200 million man army. How do you explain this coincidence? Is it prophecy? Is it real?

That passage also says that the army were mounted on lion-headed horses that breathed fire, smoke, and sulphur. When China supplies its troops with such mounts, I’ll consider the prophecy explanation.

There’s also no possible way for China to field 200 million soldiers.

For me (or anyone) to consider it anything even close to valid the rest of the prophecy must be occurring.

It's very thinly veiled coincidence at best. Some people see what they want to see.

1) Source for this alleged Chinese claim, please? Include a link. Make it a credible source.

2) PLA right now is around 2,000,000 active-duty. That means it would have to expand one hundred times current size in order to flesh out this alleged claim. If you know anything about military matters, you'd know that that's essentially impossible within a reasonable time-frame. Remember, you're gonna have to build 100 times more tanks, 100 times more guns, etc, more ships, more airplanes, more missiles.

It follows that Revelation ain't happening anytime soon. I'm very skeptical of horses with dragon heads or whatever LSD-vision was jotted down in that shitty book.

Also, I think China is much more likely to attack Taiwan than Israel -- and I think anyone who thinks otherwise needs to read more real news and do less Christian shitposting.

Is it prophecy?


Is it coincidence?


No, it's bullshit.

@Thump

Imagine all the food and fuel.  Unless they're flinstoning it and eating each other...I can't see the entire globe competently fielding an army that large but just the thought of it makes it worth a try!  Then, if we ever do run into the aliens from magic book, we'll be fuckin ready.
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!

What you wrote is total bullshit. Point out to me where a) the magic mushroom induced fever dream of John of Patmos talks about a 200 million army and b) where China states it has 1/6 of its population under arms.
