Why Do Bible Scholars Insist that the Kings of the East Come from China, Japan, etc. and not from the Middle Eastern Nations?

Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!

The Bible doesn’t say that the kings will come from the Middle East. Revelation 16:12 says, “And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” The River Euphrates is a natural border between the Middle East and the Far East. This area is covered with water to separate the two. Half of the world’s population lives in the Far East. The river Euphrates will dry up to make way for the kings of the East that they might come across into Israel. We call it the Kings of the East which refer to China and India. This will occur toward the end of the Tribulation period and half of the people on Earth will be dead. The other half will be in the Far East, and those are the ones who will come.

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.
