Just days after Donald Trump visited Beijing, Vladimir Putin arrived in China for a high-stakes summit with Xi Jinping, signalling a significant deepening of the China-Russia strategic alliance. Scripture repeatedly warns of powerful northern and eastern coalitions that will align against Israel in the last days, and this growing Sino-Russian axis is precisely the geopolitical architecture those prophecies describe. Ezekiel 38 speaks of a great northern power leading a coalition against Israel, while Revelation 16:12 points to kings of the east marshalling their forces in the age of Armageddon.
