Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!
Revelation 9:16 says, “And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.”
This is not the army of China. Looking at the context of what had just happened, Satan will have the key to the Bottomless Pit earlier in chapter 9. He opens the Bottomless Pit, and these 200 million creatures (I believe that they are unidentified flying objects because I believe that the Bottomless Pit is out in space) are referred to as locusts, but they are not like a grasshopper that I have ever seen. They are described in Revelation 9:7-10, “And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.” It is describing those that have been imprisoned some 4,500 years. These are the evil angels in Genesis 6 that committed fornication with human women at that time. Satan was using his subtle strategy to try to contaminate human kind. The Messiah, who was prophesied in Genesis 3:15, could not come through humankind because it would not be a pure blood line.
Satan was contaminating the human race; this is the reason for the flood, wiping out everyone. The genealogy in Genesis 5 is from Adam to Noah. It does not mention any evil angel in the genealogy. In Genesis 6, Noah was found perfect, not perfect without sin but perfect without contamination to his bloodline. Noah, his three sons and their four wives would re-people the earth after the flood so there was a pure blood line for the Messiah to come through.
The 200-million evil angels were put into the abyss of the Bottomless Pit where they have been kept for all of these years. They will be released with Satan upon the earth to try to destroy the Jewish people and kill one third of the earth’s population.
China is not mentioned by name but as the kings of the East in the sixth Vial Judgment in Revelation 16:12 where the river Euphrates, a natural border between the Middle East and the Far East, is dried up, making way for the kings of the East to come into Israel. Revelation 16:13 and 16 says that the Antichrist, Satan, and the False Prophet (the Satanic trinity) will do signs, wonders, and miracles to gather all the armies of the world at Jerusalem to stop Jesus Christ from coming back.
Jimmy DeYoung was a prophecy teacher and journalist who travelled the country and the world educating the Body of Christ of the future events foretold in God’s prophetic Word. His goal was to equip Christians with the knowledge and understanding of what God’s Word says will happen someday soon, so that they can make better decisions today. Dr. DeYoung went home to be with his Savior on August 15, 2021.
