For years I have heard this and one one hand it sounds feasible that China with a promise from Russia to share in the oil will march across the river yet for some reason I have doubts its is China. I keep thinking it may be a muslim army that fulfills this maybe the chinese army becomes mostly muslim. I could see an army of 200 mil of muslims marching anywhere, with some of those clerics sermons whipping them up in a great fury along the way.
All I have to go on is this scripture ...
Revelation 16:12
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
What is the farthest country East of the Euphrates? China. Muslims are everywhere, not only in the East. I guess it could be Iran, and other Muslims that are East of Iran, but is that not the middle East?
I think you are more referring to the great Battle of Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation Period when Jesus will come back the Second Time to battle the forces of the AntiChrist. I was more referring to the prophesied war of Gog and Magog from Ezekiel 38-39.
Ezekiel 38
A Prophecy Against Gog
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of [a] Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army
