I had a vision of a tiny Asian country being used by two large countries to attack Taiwan unless they repent
Jonah 3
3 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach and cry out to it the preaching that I tell you.
3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city of three days’ journey [sixty miles in circumference].
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown!
5 So the people of Nineveh believed in God and proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth [in penitent mourning], from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For word came to the king of Nineveh [of all that had happened to Jonah, and his terrifying message from God], and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe aside, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he made proclamation and published through Nineveh, By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed nor drink water.
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
9 Who can tell, God may turn and revoke His sentence against us [when we have met His terms], and turn away from His fierce anger so that we perish not.
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God revoked His [sentence of] evil that He had said that He would do to them and He did not do it [for He was comforted and eased concerning them].
2 Chronicles 7:14New King James Version (NKJV)
14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
So one tiny Asian nation, is proxied by 2 large nations to attack Taiwan to punish Taiwan....is that what you are saying? Or are you saying the conflict between 2 large nations over Taiwan is designed to punish Taiwan? Or are you saying the conflict with China over Taiwan is the start of the judgment of America?
The way you make it sound....some unamed tiny Asain country is influenced by China and America...or some other pair of countries to start a conflict with Taiwan to punish them?
Please clarify. Are you saying some tiny nation like Vietnam or Singapore starts harassing Taiwan at the bidding of two large nations? To punish Taiwan?
Could you share something else of this "vision"?
Unless Taiwan repents of -- what? All human civilizations should seek God, which would require repentance (turning from sinning, turning away/ceasing to do evil).
I do wonder also what Asian nation is tinier than Taiwan that could be doing the attacking.
One last thing I'm having difficulties with here...is that a nation is allegedly being called to repentance which has no real(?) history of having been dedicated to Him in the first place? (I would wish that the USA could say the same, things could go easier on us--- for He is just).
we have a dear one in Taiwan. Lord, please hear my prayer of protection for her and Taiwan from the powers of earth. in Jesus Name. Amen.
Brunei is smaller than Taiwan.
Here in Ezekiel chapters eight to eleven reveals how the presence of God, leaves His Temple, Solomon’s Temple, because of the sins taking place. Before He leaves, Ezekiel is brought to the Temple to witness why God’s presence is leaving the Temple. Ezekiel testified to what the nation’s leaders are doing in secret, thinking God did not know. He witnesses the idolatry taking place in secret how the nation’s leaders worshipped abominations in the Temple. God asks Ezekiel, “Have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness” (Ezekiel 8:12).
Ah. Good point.
I suppose Singapore is smaller also, small enough to be tiny perhaps, and independent enough to be nation?
Singapore is a republic, which makes it a nation ... and it is smaller than Taiwan, which is actually pretty big.
Taiwan is something less that 1/10 the overall size of Japan, but then again Japan is spread out over many islands, and has it's share of uninhabitable terrain.
It wouldn't seem that Japan would be attacking Taiwan anytime soon either (for hosts of powerful, political reasons). But then we weren't contemplating Japan as a potential among "tiny Asian nations".
Ok.
So we've got (at least?) two contenders. Add East Timor? Zoom in to see how tiny Macau is. It makes Hong Kong look big..but those are not "nations" enough, now could they be? everybody was kung fu fighting last fm link to that one-hit wonder tune from 1974
Now that that's established...
do we put stock in some slim mention of a "vision"?
I saw Noth Korea being used . . . There is an unstoppable balance coming From The Throne of God ; Not man !
