Yes! Much agreed with your assesment. It seems to me that the Holy Spirit has come full circle (literally) from Jerusalem 2000 years ago to China today. I don't think our light is out yet, but the future of the church definately lies in the East, as far as I can tell.

Doesn't it seem like the nexus of vital faith has moved something like...

Jerusalem > Antioch/Alexandria > Rome > Germany > England > America > China/Africa...

I may have left out some...

Interesting also to note the forceful nature by which the Holy Spirit directed Paul to the West (Acts 16) - effectivley closing the door on the East for a while...
