And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. <\/i><\/p>\n

IN THE APOSTLE JOHN\u2019S DAY, WORLD POPULATION WAS PROBABLY LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED MILLION, YET THE AMAZING NUMBER WAS RECORDED. NOW, WE KNOW NUMBERS IN PROPHECY CAN BE TRUSTED. <\/p>\n
318<\/b> History\u2019s Largest Armies<\/b><\/p>\n
The largest army in history to go into actual battle was under Xerxes I in 481 BC when he invaded Greece. Herodotus estimated it as \u201c2,641,000 fighting men.\u201d<\/p>\n
During World War II at the height of the conflict, America had 12 million men under arms.<\/p>\n
These records will be exceeded at the end times when the \u201ckings of the east\u201d field 200,000,000 men into the Middle East conflict.<\/p>\n
319<\/b> 200 Million Soldiers<\/b><\/p>\n
According to an Associated Press release in 1964, there was an estimated 200 million armed and organized militiamen in China. A recent television commentary on Red China, called \u201cThe Voice of the Dragon,\u201d said that the Chinese are boasting of their ability to field a people\u2019s army of 200 million militiamen.<\/p>\n
The 1977 Guinness Book of Records gives these statistics: \u201cThe Chinese People\u2019s Liberation Army, which includes naval and air services, has 3,250,000 regulars, but there is also a civilian home guard militia once claimed to be 200 million strong \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n
320<\/b> Road-Building Activities In Kashmir<\/b><\/p>\n
A force of 200 million soldiers could not be transported by China and its foreseeable allies by air or sea. They do not possess the industry to produce a transportation system for such an army. This necessitates the movement of troops across the land as indicated in Revelation 16:12.<\/p>\n
India has revealed an important development. It is reported that 12,000 Chinese soldiers are at work inside Pakistan-held Kashmir on the road which would give Chinese troops in Tibet a shortcut to the subcontinent. India calls the Chinese road-building activities a \u201cthreat to peace in Asia.\u201d It was said that \u201ca flurry of road-building throughout the Himalayas is taking on increasing strategic importance.\u201d<\/p>\n

321<\/b> Troops Or Tanks In Prophecy<\/b><\/p>\n
Since the First World War the tank has been considered an absolutely vital piece of military equipment. Indeed, it has seemed that the tank is here to stay. But one of the lessons of the Middle East battlefield is that the lowly infantryman, armed with a missile launcher, has swung the balance against the tank.<\/p>\n
There has been a standing debate among students of prophecy concerning the interpretation of military language in the Scripture which speak of the end time. Are allusions to foot soldiers, bows, arrows, and spears to be taken literally, or do they stand for their equivalent in today\u2019s military hardware?<\/p>\n
