In January, 2008, I wrote an article in which I identified the relatively new organization called the SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION as a potential source of the 200,000,000 million-man army in the Sixth Trumpet War of Revelation 9.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization was formed in 2001 with RUSSIA and CHINA as its anchor members. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were also full members. But other states were quickly given observer status: Afghanistan, India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan. Belarus, Turkey and Sri Lanka are called dialogue partners.
The S.C.O. is the Communist/Islamic counterpart to N.A.T.O. (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), the military powerhouse of the West. The S.C.O. is the fast-rising "security" organization of Russia and China. The accession of IRAN to full-member status in the S.C.O. is a development of epic proportions.
The entrance of IRAN into the SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION suggests (powerfully) that this league will be the major players in the prophesied
1. The Sixth Trumpet War;
2. The Sixth Vial of God's Wrath; and
3. The Battle of Armageddon.
Could RUSSIA, CHINA and IRAN, as principals in the S.C.O., become the major antagonists in the Sixth Trumpet War?
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are
bound in the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,
for to slay the third part of men.
And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousand:
and I heard the number of them," Revelation 9:14-16.
Loose the four angels which are
bound in the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,
for to slay the third part of men.
And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousand:
and I heard the number of them," Revelation 9:14-16.
Will RUSSIA, CHINA, and IRAN also become the "kings of the East" mentioned in the "Sixth Vial" of the Seven Vials of God's Wrath?
"And the sixth angel poured out his vial
upon the great river Euphrates;
and the water thereof was dried up,
that the way of the KINGS OF THE EAST
might be prepared," Revelation 16:12.
upon the great river Euphrates;
and the water thereof was dried up,
that the way of the KINGS OF THE EAST
might be prepared," Revelation 16:12.
Who will be the Kings of the East?
"The kings of the east" will come across a dried-up Euphrates River. Ezekiel 38 prophesied extensively about who would be the aggressors at the battle of Armageddon. Using ancient names, the prophet Ezekiel specifically identified modern Russia, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Libya and Ethiopia. It is conceivable that China will also be with that evil coalition. Immediately before Armageddon, God will compel them to make their move toward Jerusalem.
Earlier, John had prophesied in Revelation 9:13-16 of a war that will take place at the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet. (There are seven great trumpets of prophecy. The seventh and last trumpet will be the First Resurrection and Rapture of the Church.) The first five trumpets have already sounded. We are awaiting the Sixth Trumpet War, in which 200,000,000 soldiers will be involved. The original Greek text actually suggests, "myriads and myriads" of soldiers, which suggests an uncountable number of warriors descending in the greatest clash of civilization in the history of the world.
Take note of the similarities between the Communist SCO logo and the Obama logo:
COMMUNISM will be the prevailing power on earth in the Last Days, according to the prophecies of the Bible.
Communism will be the SCARLET RED BEAST of Revelation 17:3.
According to the Bible, Russia and China will be powerhouses in the last days.
Even Revelation 13 tells us that the FEET of the RUSSIAN BEAR will be a part of the last WORLD GOVERNMENT, based in Europe. At that time, Russia will be a part of a league with Britain, Europe and the United Nations.
"And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard [the European Union], and his feet were as the feet of a bear [Russia], and his mouth as the mouth of a lion [Britain]: and the dragon [Satan] gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority," Revelation 13:2."

A Voice From The Four Horns Of The Golden Altar
God receives the prayers of all the saints across the golden altar in Heaven (8:3). From the horns of that altar of prayer, John reported a voice instructing four angels to launch the Sixth Trumpet War. One-third of all mankind will die. This greatest war in history is launched from the altar of prayer. Is this great end-of-the-age event somehow an answer to multitudes of prayers of the saints of all ages? Perhaps!
Revelation 9:13-14 "I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel..."
The Sixth Trumpet
This prophecy says that a war killing one-third of mankind will begin when four spirits are loosed at the Euphrates River! Right now, ISLAMIC extremism threatens western CAPITALISM and CATHOLICISM, while Russian and Chinese COMMUNISTS arm them. The four most powerful globalist spirits are loosed -- Capitalism, Communism, Catholicism and Islam.
Revelation 9:13-21 - "Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates ...to slay the third part of men ...the number of the army ...two hundred thousand thousand ...the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not ...neither repented they of their murders."
Prepared For An Hour, A Day, A Month And A Year
I believe that the four angels have already been loosed. They are not holy angels. They are evil principalities - probably the four most powerful devils on the earth today, under Lucifer himself. The Sixth Trumpet is already unfolding, but on a very specific YEAR, MONTH, DAY, and HOUR, they will kill "a third part of men (Gr: 'anthropos' means 'humanity')." That will be a global holocaust - all in ONE HOUR!
Revelation 9:15 - "The four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men."
Two Hundred Million Horsemen - Innumerable Myriads
It seems necessary to render the Greek word "murias" (myriad) as "innumerable" in this case. KJV variously translates it "ten thousands," or "innumerable." In the entire world, there are less than 10 million active military troops, 30 million reserve troops, and 60 million horses. 200 million horses standing 50 feet apart would cover the entire State of Israel proper (excluding the Negev Desert). Unless these horsemen are supernatural, then we should understand that John meant an army comprised of uncountable myriads of horsemen.
Revelation 9:16 - "The number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand [two myriads of myriads]."
The Horses Of The Sixth Trumpet
The horses of the Sixth Trumpet will not be ordinary horses. Their heads will be "as the heads of lions." Fire, smoke and brimstone will issue out of their mouths. This may be an allegory for some advanced military equipment.
Revelation 9:18-19 - "By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."
Billions Will Die, Yet Men Will Not Repent Of Their Sins
The most horrifying war in the history of the world to date will occur during the Sixth Trumpet. One-third of all mankind will die. Fire, smoke, brimstone and horrifying plagues will kill literally billions of people. Still, they will not repent of their sins. Such is the corruption of sin. Cherish the gift of repentance.
Revelation 9:20-21 - "The rest ...which were not killed ...yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols ...which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, ...sorceries, ...fornication, ...thefts."
Please see my article about the Battle of Armageddon to see how IRAN is prophesied to be involved in this eternally significant war.
