Who does the future belong to?

Posted on 12/06/2017 7:40:34 PM PST by MNDude

Every Century, there are some Nations or Empires with the most influence and power around the world. The Romans, the British Empire, to America today.

Obama once said that the future does not belong to those that slander the prophet of Islam. I sure hope he's wrong, but with the spread of Islam, he could be right.

100 years from now, who do you believe will be the world's power structures? A Christian China? An Islamic Europe?

Your thoughts?

Eurostan and Middle East will have war over the issue of which is better, goat or sheep.

Yes, after a short vicious, nasty time with the anti Christ Jesus Christ, the true and living Christ is coming back. The future is His and His own.

Really tough to say. If you'd asked me that 100 years ago in 1917 (early 1917) I'd have said something like look, the Ottoman Empire is still with us, and so is the Habsburg Empire, the Romanov Dynasty, the Hohenzollern Dynasty in Prussia, the Wittelsbachs in Bavaria, the British Empire is still straddling the globe...gone, all gone in the blink of an eye. Half a millennium of history, all gone.

So, tough call. We cling to things of permanence only to see them crumble. Few things can be said to last. So my prediction is: in 2117 the Mariners will still not have won a World Series.

China seems strongly poised.

The US has thus far sent half our industry there.

No sign of bringing it back, yet.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam.

John Quincy Adams on Islam

“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus” (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

By the way...

What in the world makes the writer say “Christian” in front of China?

No evidence of that. However I have seen a remarkable number of churches, here in Vietnam.

For real. A bunch.

Just saying.

The US will prevail if Trump lives long enough to drain the swamp.

East Asia (including China) has too much debt and lousy demographics. South Asia is more likely, but finds itself tethered to the Middle East.

Regions to watch: the Rocky Mountain West, the Russian Far East, the old Hanseatic League, Western Australia and Iran.

China is not in debt. It has replaced America, from the position we had after two world wars.

Every single administration since Reagan, has been selling out America.

Over a generation and a half.

Finally, we have a president who is for American businesses in America again.

It has been forever, since that was the case. And Trump is saying the right things, but thus far no actions, really evident yet.

Christianity has been exploding in China for a while now.

China’s killed every single Christain in China twice now. Don’t bet on the idea that they won’t do it again.
