從中國93大閱兵看《啟示錄》：東方諸王與二萬萬大軍的深層啟示
前言：大閱兵與預言的聯想
2015年，中國舉行了盛大的 九三抗戰勝利七十週年大閱兵。這場舉世矚目的活動不僅展現了中國的軍事實力與國際地位，也引發了不少學者、評論員與宗教領袖的深層思考。
蔡春曦博士在其粵語講座中，將這場大閱兵與《聖經·啟示錄》中提到的「東方諸王」和「二萬萬大軍」聯繫起來，引導我們去反思當今世界局勢與古老預言的可能關聯。
《啟示錄》中的東方諸王與二萬萬大軍
《啟示錄》第九章描述了一支龐大的軍隊——「馬軍二萬萬」。這個數字換算過來就是兩億。對於古代來說，這是一個幾乎無法想像的龐大軍隊。
而在第十六章又出現「東方諸王」，他們將在末日的歷史場景中扮演重要角色，最終走向哈米吉多頓大戰。
許多人會問：這些是否只是一種象徵性的描述？還是暗示著東方強權的崛起？
中國閱兵帶來的聯想
九三大閱兵中，數萬士兵整齊劃一地走過天安門，精良的武器裝備和新型導彈列陣登場，無不震撼全球。
對於一些基督徒與研究預言的人而言，這樣的場景讓人不禁聯想到聖經中的「二萬萬大軍」：
-
龐大的人力資源：中國擁有世界上最大的人口基礎，理論上能組建數以億計的軍隊。
-
軍事現代化：閱兵展現了中國快速現代化的武裝力量，與古代預言中的「強大東方力量」形成呼應。
-
國際地緣格局：東方諸王的聯合，是否可能暗示亞太地區國家在未來國際舞台的更大角色？
啟示錄給我們的警示
不論這些預言是否與現實直接對應，它至少提醒我們幾點：
-
權力的集中與軍事崛起：歷史證明，任何強大的軍事力量都有可能改變世界格局。
-
和平與警醒：雖然國家展示軍力是主權的象徵，但我們更應思考如何避免走向衝突。
-
屬靈的反思：預言提醒人類關注的不僅是外在的戰爭，更是內心的更新與對永恆的追尋。
結語：閱兵只是表象，預言是提醒
九三大閱兵讓世人看到了中國的軍事實力，而《啟示錄》則讓我們思考人類歷史終局的可能場景。當東方力量在世界舞台上不斷崛起，我們或許應該同時保持敬畏與謹慎。
蔡春曦博士的演講，將歷史、現實與聖經預言結合，帶來一種獨特的視角：閱兵雖是短暫的盛典，但啟示錄卻是對人類長遠命運的警鐘。
👉 這篇文章既可作為 軍事觀察的延伸，也可作為 信仰反思的契機。
在這個不確定的時代，了解歷史、關注時事、反思預言，都是我們不可忽略的功課。
From China’s 9/3 Military Parade to Revelation: Kings of the East
Introduction: When a Parade Meets Prophecy
In 2015, China held a grand September 3rd Victory Parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. The spectacle was not only a display of military strength and national pride but also a moment that drew global attention.
Dr. Choi Chun Hei (蔡春曦博士), in his Cantonese lecture, made an intriguing connection between this parade and the visions described in the Book of Revelation — particularly the prophecy of the “Kings of the East” and the massive army of 200 million. His interpretation invites us to reflect on the deeper meaning behind both modern military shows and ancient prophecy.
Revelation’s Prophecy: The Kings of the East and the 200 Million Army
The Book of Revelation, chapter 9, describes a staggering force: “the number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand,” or in modern terms, 200 million.
In chapter 16, Revelation further introduces the “Kings of the East”, who play a decisive role in the end-time scenario, marching toward the climactic Battle of Armageddon.
The big question arises: are these purely symbolic descriptions, or do they foreshadow the rise of real Eastern powers in history?
China’s Military Parade and Its Echoes
The 9/3 parade featured tens of thousands of troops marching in unison across Tiananmen Square, accompanied by state-of-the-art missiles, tanks, and aircraft. For observers, the precision and scale of the event carried a resonance with Revelation’s imagery.
-
Human Resources: With the world’s largest population, China theoretically has the capacity to mobilize an enormous army.
-
Military Modernization: The cutting-edge equipment on display reflected China’s rapidly advancing military capabilities.
-
Geopolitical Role: The “Kings of the East” could be seen as a hint of Eastern nations gaining greater influence in shaping global affairs.
What Revelation Reminds Us
Whether or not these passages directly align with present realities, they carry enduring lessons:
-
Concentration of Power – Throughout history, the rise of mighty armies has reshaped international order.
-
The Pursuit of Peace – Military parades symbolize sovereignty and strength, but they also remind us of the cost of conflict.
-
Spiritual Reflection – Revelation directs attention beyond geopolitical struggles to a deeper, spiritual awareness of humanity’s destiny.
Conclusion: Parade or Prophecy?
China’s September 3rd parade demonstrated the nation’s power on the world stage, while Revelation points us toward the ultimate questions of history’s end. As Eastern powers continue to rise, perhaps the greatest wisdom lies in approaching these shifts with humility and vigilance.
Dr. Choi’s reflections bridge history, reality, and prophecy. A parade may last only a few hours, but the warnings of Revelation reach across centuries, urging humanity to prepare for more than just military challenges.
👉 This article serves both as a military reflection and a faith-based meditation. In a world of uncertainty, history, current events, and prophecy all invite us to remain watchful and discerning.
