Evangelist Perry Stone has issued what he says is a direct prophetic warning from God to the nation of China. The warning, he said, was birthed in prayer, steeped in Scripture and confirmed in his spirit through the Holy Spirit.
“A warning to China from the Lord,” Stone began in his latest video message. “Someone says, ‘Well, how does a person know when the Lord speaks to them?’ First of all, you can know from Scripture, which is the inspired Word of God.”

Stone emphasized that he doesn’t take messages like this lightly. “Anytime I say that the Lord has given me something to share, I never ever take it lightly,” he said. “I sort of do it in fear and trembling, but I do it knowing that the Holy Spirit birthed it in my spirit.”
Stone quoted James 5:1–6 as the Scripture the Lord gave him for China’s communist leaders. “‘Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you… ye have heaped treasure together for the last days… the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.’” He explained that the passage describes the judgment of the wealthy who oppress laborers — and he believes that judgment is coming to the Chinese regime.
“Christians being tortured in China,” he said. “Again, this is not about the common people who are working hard… but listen to me carefully. God is going to judge nations’ idols. I’m going to say it again. God is going to judge nations’ idols.”
Stone issued a specific and chilling prophetic sign tied to what he believes will be divine judgment. “Down the road, there will be a huge earthquake in China,” he warned. “And that earthquake, it’ll have its impact in several different layers, in several different ways. But when it comes, it is a sign from heaven of God’s displeasure… just the corruption. It’ll be a sign.”
While delivering a strong word against the government of China, Stone made clear he was not condemning the Chinese people. “This is not… an attack at all on the Chinese people who are some caring, loving people. We love the people there… So many wonderful Christians are in that country as well.”

He ended the message with a heartfelt call to prayer and evangelism. “Even when you have to teach something prophetically that’s this strong, I ask you to pray for the people,” he said. “They need Jesus. They need salvation. They need eternal life… the biggest thing is having your heart ready that Christ is in your heart and you’re serving Him and following Him.”
“This word burned in me,” Stone shared. “I couldn’t even get involved with preparing for the final notes of the conference till I shared this with you.”
