What's Prophesied
·

by Keith W. Stump
Statesmen, it seems, have not thought to look into what
Bible prophecy reveals about the future of Asia's biggest powers.
A
NEW
chilly period has
developed in relations
between the Soviet
Union and China.
What does it mean?
The split between Asia's two
communist giants is one of the
most crucial variables in world
power politics today. Strategic
planners well understand that a set–
tlement of their dispute would radi–
cally transform the entire global
balance of powet. A major
war–
presently unthinkable- between
these two nuclear powers would
have equally grave international
repercussions.
What's behind the Sino–
Soviet quarrels? What líes
ahead for the Soviet Union and
China- yes, and even India,
Japan and Southeast Asia?
Newsmen and diplomats do
not know.

midst of a freezing Russian winter.
Mao Tse-tung (Mao Zedong) stood

Bundled in a heavy fur coat and
wearing a woolen cap, the Chair–
man of the Chinese People' s
Republic paused briefly before
boarding his train to' speak to the
onlooking crowd.
Having just concluded a mutual
22
defense treaty with the Kremlin
and having received his new
nation's first foreign loan for $300
million, he confidently declared
It turned out to be one of his–
tory's unfulfilled predictions.
By 1963, the
that Chinese-Soviet
friendship~~¡;¡liatllllil~
would be "everlasting, inde–
structibl.e and inalienable."
