China's Collapsing Birth Rate and the End-Times Connection

Recent discussions from Alex Jones and his team, as featured in the April 8, 2025 broadcast, have stirred interest in China's declining birth rate and its potential consequences. According to the transcript, Alex and guest host Chase Geyser argue that China's population crisis is more than just a demographic anomaly—it's a destabilizing factor that could contribute to famine, unrest, and global conflict. But this phenomenon, when examined in light of the King James Bible, also reveals signs consistent with biblical prophecy.

The Narrative: China Is Running Out of People

In the broadcast, Geyser and Jones emphasize that China's birth rate has dropped so drastically that the country will not have enough workers to sustain its economic engine. This, they argue, is part of why China is acting so aggressively in geopolitics—backing Iran, destabilizing regions, and trying to monopolize trade through initiatives like the Belt and Road.

Statements like

"China's population is gone"

and that it

"will crumble unless it makes dramatic changes"

are dramatic, but they're not without basis. China has indeed reached historic lows in fertility. This isn't limited to China—birth rates are declining in most developed nations, including the United States. But the rhetoric in the Jones broadcast frames it as an existential crisis.

A Biblical Lens: Judgment on the Nations

The Bible offers clarity on what happens when nations forget God and turn to wickedness. One consistent pattern in Scripture is that of judgment being carried out through the removal of blessings—especially fruitfulness and stability.

Leviticus 26:26 says: "And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven... and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied."

This verse paints a picture of rationed food and hunger—clear consequences of national rebellion.

Likewise, Isaiah 4:1 reads: "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man..."

This implies a severe imbalance between genders, likely from war and judgment.

Jesus Himself warns of a time when being childless will be considered a blessing:

Luke 23:29 — "For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren..."

These are not mere poetic images. They describe societal breakdown, food insecurity, and sorrow in times of great tribulation. That such descriptions match our present circumstances is cause for sober reflection.

Not Just a Chinese Problem

What Jones and others are describing is not just about China. The U.S. and Europe are similarly afflicted by low birth rates, rampant debt, and social division. The broadcast linked these trends to AI, economic shifts, and eventual military conflict. In their view, China is desperate and dangerous because of its impending collapse. But in biblical terms, this desperation is merely the visible edge of God's judgment on the nations.

A Prophetic Moment

Whether China "collapses" or not in the next decade is uncertain. But what is certain is that we are watching the unraveling of global systems that once seemed immovable. And the signs align with Scripture.

This isn’t about doom-and-gloom speculation. It's about watching the unfolding of what God already warned would happen when nations forget Him.

Psalm 9:17 — "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."

Rather than fear, the right response is spiritual discernment. This is a call to turn to the Lord, to recognize the signs, and to know that nothing happening now is outside the plan of God.

Woe to Them That Are With Child

Matthew 24:19 — "And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!"

In this solemn warning, Jesus foretells a time of such extreme danger and distress that even the natural blessings of childbirth and motherhood will become burdens. This prophecy, though directed at the Great Tribulation, already finds echoes in our present world. In nations like China, where the birth rate has plummeted to historic lows, many young people deliberately choose not to bring children into a world they perceive as collapsing. Surveillance, social control, AI, looming war, and economic despair have created an atmosphere where parenthood seems like a liability, not a blessing. While many do not quote Scripture, they live as though Jesus’ words were etched in their hearts:

"Woe unto them that are with child."

It is a quiet but powerful testimony that even the lost can sense the coming judgment, and that the sorrow Jesus spoke of is beginning to take hold — not just in China, but throughout the world.
