These Are the Three End-Time Superpowers According to Bible Prophecy (America Isn't One of Them)

Are we in the end times? Geopolitical tensions rising rapidly indicate YES. Bible prophecy reveals who will replace the U.S. as the dominant global superpower. Here’s why—and what happens next. See how one of these end-time superpowers will emerge as the Beast of Revelation—and partner with the end-time Antichrist.

So, where do we look? Well, in World War II, the superpowers were easy to find. You only had to look at where the conflict was raging the hottest, and there you saw them engaged in battle. So to identify the END-TIME superpowers, we need only look where the greatest END-TIME conflict will take place before the return of Christ. And God’s word is utterly clear on that location: the Middle East and the land of Israel. God long ago prophesied that the nations of the world would not be able to solve the challenge of Israel and Jerusalem—and no, even current peace treaties, agreements, and alliances will not solve it. So if Jerusalem, Israel, and the surrounding region represent the stage for the final acts of mankind before Christ’s return, then the three final superpowers are the actors who will occupy that stage in the end-times. Many biblical prophecies combine to give us the details of the end-time scenario. In Daniel’s book of prophecy, we see that a dominating economic and military power he calls the King of the North will storm through the Middle East. It will be provoked by a rival power he calls the King of the South. The King of the North will press against the King of the South, enter its territory conquering and pillaging, until it is troubled by NEWS it hears of incredibly MASSIVE ARMIES on the other side of the Euphrates. After much conflict, the river Euphrates is miraculously dried up, allowing these two powers, the King of the North and the massive force from the East to meet on the hill of Megiddo—at what is called in Hebrew Armageddon—and gather there for what God calls in Revelation 16:14 “the Battle of that Great Day of God Almighty.” The devastation unleashed by these military forces in their conflicts leading up to the final battle is prophesied to kill “a THIRD of mankind” (Revelation 9:18)— more than TWO BILLION PEOPLE. The conflicts to come will be so horrific that Jesus Christ warns in Matthew 24:22 that “no flesh would be saved” alive unless “those days were shortened” by God’s intervention. And we should thank God that He will intervene. So, who are these superpowers—the King of the North, the King of the South, and the massive armies from the East? First, we have to recognize that such compass directions in prophecy—north, south, and east—are determined from the perspective of Israel and Jerusalem, the land of the prophets. With this in mind, the massive forces from the East are perhaps the easiest to find candidates for. Revelation 16:12 refers to these as “the kings from the east,” implying a multinational coalition of some sort. Revelation 9:16 describes the armies from that region, on the other side of the Euphrates, as being two-hundred million strong. There are very few nations in the world that could muster such an army in the foreseeable future. Of them, there are two obvious candidates: China and India—both of which lie east of Israel and of the Euphrates River. Combined, these two nations contain more than one-third of the ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE WORLD. These facts—plus geographic position—make them strong candidates to contribute to the collective armies of the East. No doubt, other peoples east of the Euphrates River will contribute, as well—such as Iran (or Persia in Bible prophecy), portions of modern Russia, North and South Korea, and Japan. All are candidates as additional partners in this combined eastern superpower, creating one of the largest military coalitions the world has ever seen.
