Red China Dragon

Red China Dragon

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. Revelation 12:3

On October 1, 1949, communists under Mao Zedong defeated the Nationalist Kuomintang Party and established Red China. Power in Red China is concentrated with one ruler (crown) similar to a king. The ruler (crown) is the Chairman (head), now renamed General Secretary, of the Chinese Communist Party. Since 1949, Red China has had seven heads and seven crowns upon those heads.

Each ruler of Red China has had someone else during their reign who has served as leader of the government known as the Premier (horn). Since 1949, four of the seven rulers have had one Premier (horn) and three of the seven rulers have had two successive Premiers (horns) during their reign. This makes a total of ten horns for the seven heads.

Number	Reign	Head/Crown	Horn	Additional Horn
1	1949-1976	Mao Zedong	Zhou Enlai
2	1976-1981	Hua Guofeng	Zhao Ziyang
3	1981-1987	Hu Yaobang	Zhao Ziyang
4	1987-1989	Zhao Ziyang	Li Peng
5	1989-2002	Jiang Zemin	Li Peng	Zhu Rongji
6	2002-2012	Hu Jintao	Zhu Rongji	Wen Jiabao
7	2012-Now	Xi Jinping	Wen Jiabao	Li Keqiang

Note the establishing of Red China was after the reestablishment of the country of Israel in 1948.

USA Beast and Italy Vatican Woman

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:3

Unlike the Red China Dragon, the heads of this beast have no crowns. The British colonies in America formed the United States of America because of how they despised the crowned King of England. Instead, they formed a Republic with separation of powers. The President who executed the laws would be subject to the legislative branch for making the laws and the judicial branch for interpreting those laws.

Counting from the Camp David Accord on 9/17/1981 there have now been seven US Presidential reigns (heads). Four of those reigns had one corresponding Vatican Pope (horn). Three of those reigns had two consecutive Italian Vatican Popes (horns). This makes a total of 10 horns. Interestingly, the Camp David Accord date of September 17, 1978 happened during the short 33 day reign of John Paul I. Had the date been a few days one way or another outside this 33 day window the count would have been 9 or 11 horns instead of 10.

Number	Start/Reign	Head			Horn	Additional Horn
1	9/17/1978-1981		Jimmy Carter		John Paul I	John Paul II	(JP I only 33 day window)
2	1981-1989			Ronald Reagan	John Paul II
3	1989-1993			George HW Bush	John Paul II
4	1993-2001			Bill Clinton	John Paul II
5	2001-2009			George W Bush	John Paul II	Benedict XVI
6	2009-2016			Barack Obama	Benedict XVI	Francis
7	2017-Jan 20, 2021			Donald Trump	Francis

Another way to picture the Roman Church with her children combined in the same image with the United States of America is to place ten crowns upon the Roman Church’s ten horns. These crowns signify concentration of power as before with the seven crowns on the seven heads of the Red China Dragon. In this new picture though, they are on each successive Pope who is the supreme authority, the blasphemous Pontifex Maximus of the Roman Church.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Revelation 13:1

The United States of America is a nation of immigrants from all over the world, a melting pot of nationalities as represented by different animals in Revelation 13:2. The late 70’s in America saw high inflation with the removal of artificial domestic oil price controls. This “windfall” for domestic producers was then taxed at higher rates with the so called “Windfall Profits Tax”. In the early 80’s, equalization of domestic and world oil prices and reduced oil demand due to those higher prices helped put a reign on inflation. At the same time America started importing cheaper Red China goods. This also reduced inflation as Red China kept an artificially low exchange rate pegged at 10% of the US dollar. Red China was fueling American prosperity as they built a large trade imbalance and America traded dollars for Chinese manufactured goods.

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. Revelation 13:2

We have three end time countries right before the return of Jesus Christ who figure prominently in Bible prophecy. Those are Red China, the United States, and Italy. It does make one wonder about the following reported sequence of events.

1. In late 2019 the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) released the virus which causes COVID19 onto the population of Wuhan, either intentionally or by accident.

2. Red China quarantined Wuhan from the rest of China, including all air travel to and from the Wuhan airport.

3. Red China then opened up International air travel through the Wuhan airport, in particular to USA and Italy, where corresponding spikes have occurred disproportionately to the rest of the World.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Revelation 17:12

We know the one “week” God gave Adam and his descendants upon this Earth. Man had 6000 years to build empires and be “fruitful and multiply.” Following these 6000 years would be a Sabbath “day” of rest upon the Earth, which is the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. We know that with God a day is like 1000 years. Then this “one hour with the beast” would calculate to one 24^th of 1000 years, which is 42 years. We also know the number 42 has the spiritual meaning of being the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, both His first advent in the Rapture and His second to establish His kingdom. These 10 kings corresponding to the seven heads started their reign September 17, 1978. From September 1978 to January 2020 is 42 years to the nearest year.

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. Revelation 12:1-2

There is a remarkably similar picture of the Virgin Mary on earth. Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. Its mouth is strategically contained on either side by the state of Virginia while the rest of the bay and the Potomac River (which empties into the bay) are in the state of Maryland. These two states were named after the Virgin Mary.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Revelation 7:9

The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C. located on the northern shore of the Potomac. It was founded on seven hills, Capitol Hill, Meridian Hill, Floral Hills, Forest Hills, Hillbrook, Hillcrest, and Knox Hill. It was originally named Rome, Maryland.

However, the original city founded on seven hills was Rome, Italy. Those hills are Aventine Hill, Caelian Hill, Capitoline Hill, Esquiline Hill, Palatine Hill, Quirinal Hill, and Viminal Hill. It is commonly accepted this is the location to which Revelation 7:9 speaks. This woman, also known as the false prophet, is the ecclesiastical remnant of the Roman Empire headquartered in Vatican City, Rome, Italy. The beast upon which the woman sits is the current leader of the military remnant. Since the end of World War II that leader has been the United States of America headquartered in Washington, D.C. The world has wondered since WWII, who can make war with this beast?

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Revelation 17:10-11

The one of the seven who is the antichrist is after the five who are no longer in power. He is the sixth as shown in the list above. Then comes the seventh who will continue for a short space of time. Then the beast who was the sixth but is not the seventh, he also becomes the eighth. One can speculate that using the term “beast” can refer to rulership which includes both the President and the Vice-President. Could this indicate that the sixth Vice-President will become the eighth President? Both the President and Vice-President met with the Red China Dragon head Xi Jinping in Washington D.C. the following two days after the historic visit of the Pope with the President in Washington D.C. on September 23, 2015.

Something sobering to note about the future of the Roman antichrist and false prophet versus the Red China dragon. We know all remnants of Rome along with all previous empires will be crushed and be forever no more with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

…..His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:33-35.

This destiny is further reinforced with the beast and false prophet being thrown into the lake of fire.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 19:20

However, the destiny of the Red China Dragon is different.

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20:2-3

The Red China Dragon will come back after the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ to again deceive the whole world for a short season before it too is destroyed.

Shalom,
