The news that China is militarising its artificial islands in the South China Sea with missiles, reveals the aggressive ratcheting of its control over an international sea gate is not going away and increases its threat to all its neighbours.

One neighbour alone has the numbers to balance China’s weight – India. Will India stand with the West against Chinese expansionism or will it fall into line with the Biblically prophesied Eastern combine which will attack Europe with an army of 200 million?  Revelation 9:16, ‘saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. ….The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.’   

India is the world’s largest democracy, with a population of 1.3 billion. Only time will tell whether India’s highly – decentralised government system, with its divers ethnic, linguistic and religious groups in a noisy democracy will be content to ally itself  with the autocratic Chinese communist system.

Current signs of strife over China’s ‘Belt and Roads’ initiative may indicate otherwise, reflecting India’s natural rivalry with its aggressive neighbour, and there are other reasons why such a union could be in doubt.

India has only recently been found to be made up of two ancient genetically divergent groups, half of which are similar to Middle Eastern,  Central Asian and European populations, amongst the speakers of Indo-European languages such as Hindi.

The racial divide between India and China is also influenced by India’s historical links with the ancient Parthian Empire, which included parts of Western India, where Kings with Parthian names (e.g. Gondophares) reigned in the Punjab region, and the great commercial town of Minnagar in the Indus Delta was under Parthian Kings.

The Parthians were actually Israelites and their Empire consisted of the 10 Northern tribes carried away from Israel in captivity by the ancient Assyrians. When Assyria was defeated by Babylon, the liberated Israelites moved North into Asia and built an empire which rivalled Rome at the time of Christ, but they have disappeared from acknowledged history.

Jesus Christ was not in Judaea from age 12-30 (Read our article Joseph of Arimathea). Just as he visited Israelites in England, He may well have visited Israelites  then in Western India, for the same reason,   Matthew 15:24, “”He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”  

We see the same thing occurring with one of Christ’s Apostles, who were also sent by Christ to the lost sheep of the House of Israel,  ‘go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ‘ Matthew 10:6.   The Encyclopaedia Britannica states –  “”St Thomas (the Apostle of Christ) founded the Christian churches in Malabar [India], and then crossed to Mylapur, now a suburb of Madras, where the shrine of his martyrdom…..  still stands on mount St Thomas, where a cross is seen with Pahlavi [Parthian} inscriptions.

Thus India with its Indo-European heritage, its Western democracy, genetic links, and British traditions is unlikely to sit comfortably  within a Chinese dominated union, whose people do not enjoy India’s freedoms and heritage. Whether they will actually have the choice, is another matter altogether. Much will depend on their reaction to China’s aggressive expansionism.

India has joined the so-calle  Australia Group, aimed at limiting the spread of chemical and biological weapons, and the Quadrilateral Dialogue, a regional cooperation forum that brings together the US, Japan, India and Australia.  Whether these nations have the will to counterbalance the aggression of a determined China is yet to be seen, but we should understand that nations that stand for nothing risk losing all they have.”

Traditional Australian values are consistently under attack by the media, especially the ABC. Time and again its left wing bias is denied, but the impartiality provision in its charter is blatantly ignored and the conservative values of middle Australia are constantly attacked.

With a new political editor it was hoped that sense would prevail, but no, Andrew Probyn has already been accused by The Australian Communications and Media Authority of a scathing judgmental attack on former Conservative Prime mInister Tony Abbot for his realistic views on climate change. Will he get more than a slap on the wrist? – No chance!

Tony Abbot was betrayed by his back stabbing ministers and the result has been policies which are letting down Australia. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has allowed the glamour of the international high life she has associated with, to seduce her to personal promotion, style and fashion, and neglect of her responsibilities to our region in favour of what goes down well with the UN and the EU.

She has allowed China to begin to replace us in the Pacific and it has been suggested that she has no long term plan for the region except a holding pattern left over from colonial times.

While the small Pacific nations on our doorstep look to us to lead them, our lack of attention has opened the door to the entrenchment of China. These nations share our traditional values, indeed at least one of them shares our currency, but we seem blind to their practical needs for assistance in government, services and education and instead offer to help with the empowerment of women, climate change and less visible help, while China forges ahead with strategic  infrastructure building.

These nations are crying out for our politicians to put aside their fashionable ideologies and return to basic practicalities, and that should be the case both at home and abroad. Thankfully, due to Tony Abbot, we now have border control, but immigration is still out of control and multiculturalism divides us rather than unites. We are mis-educating our children, neglecting our history and Western Christian heritage and replacing them with destructive social engineering which undermines our traditional values and culture, hardly the pattern the Pacific nations need.

Our society is still cursed with a hand-out culture in the hope of ending exclusion, but it isn’t working, and we have undermined the family and marriage which remain the bedrock of middle Australian society. Political correctness remains a poison which is white-anting  the structure of our nation but its proponents never give up.

The values we need to reclaim are the true values which will stand eternally, but which have been replaced with the evils of political correctness. Its proponents will find themselves in opposition to Christ who will return  ‘to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.””  Jude 1:15.
