Thank you for your sharing @sinbach — I live in the U.K. and a few months prior to COVID, our church had been praying for Brexit for the sake of the gospel. What I felt the Lord impress on my heart then: There will come a time where there will be a separation of nations called by My Name, and those that will oppose My purposes.

So your point about nations aligning themselves to China and other rogue regimes definitely resonate.
