If say China loaded up a few commercial airliners with paratroopers, bounced them around the worlds airports for a while, they would get lost in the traffic and at the right time, come right in with their loads and dump on Australia mostly undetected. It wouldnt take a great deal of men. It would take the right world climate though... a worn out USA, totally tied up, would do it.
TRTL.
Its a matter of faith that I believe in visions and prophecies from The Lord. Ive tested them and I am happy they are as genuine as visions and prophecies get. I knew some of the people involved and their good christian works and Im happy with it all. All revelations say that the enemy GOT here and got established. So much for Collins subs, new fighters and second hand warships. All meant nothing. As for the Army Reserve. Theres too few and they are hardly a match for the plague of asian soldiers in the Bibles endtimes (kings of the east). Reservists are pampered, modern tv/computer boys and girls fed all the best western society could feed them. No match for fanaticals from the north countries. Does anyone understand TOO FEW?
Thats good BOAZ_David.
Theres frequently been little between small police numbers and the bigger thing. A good home guard could do a lot of different things. Riot control one aspect. Im convinced war with Islam inside oz is coming. If it does, we will see what exists being stretched beyond what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans cops.
StG.
TOO FEW! In Reserve.
Bugsy.
TOO FEW and not trained for invader days.
Thanks Sybil.
Civil Defence folks is good... extended to armed services training with equipment would be better. Everybody jumping on the home guard wagon.
Its a shame the world is getting so gunsy. But its the way it is. Australas national defences have been third world for many a decade, guided by people who wanted the big stuff and forgot that in the end its always soldiers face to face.

Gibo, I am keen to learn who these prophecies were given by? Australia was prophesied as "The great South Land of the Holy Spirit" and some songs were penned from this phrase. As a nation, perhaps we have become a bit lapse and have ignored our ancestral upbringing as a Christian nation. God is no longer taught in our schools except for a scripture class maybe once a week by a (usually) disinterested Pastor/Father/Reverand (depending on your denomination).
I was blessed when I was at school to have a youth worker teach us, he was enthusiastic and loved God. The need for a mandatory civil defence is required on a two fold basis, it gives the youth direction and respect for our country and it provides a much needed source of able bodied persons capable of defending our nation if needed.
You need to remember too Gibo that a nation covered by prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit is more protected than a nation with only a group of people with guns. The bible is full of examples where a tiny army with the support of God defeated armies of substantial size.
Keep studying and I'm sure God will put your fears to rest, as Joyce Meyer says, "fear is False Evidence Appearing Real". Don't ever allow the devil to control you with your fears.
Be blessed.

Wassup. Im not greatly worried about an invader these days, though Ive had my moments over the years.
Its true God will protect a nation thats reverent to Him.
Sadly, I think that time is passing.
Looking back, it was passing in the mid-1970's when the first major revelations on an invader because of the sins of the people began to appear in the pentecostal (happy-clappy charismatic christian churches). Having read one I got interested and I went looking for more visions and prophecies. Wrote all around the land to newspapers. Got responses from christians who knew of more. Talked to many christians. Gathered much info. Found out that it appears to be an endtimes army (the kings of the east maybe). Many interesting things did I find. The invader may move south as far as Byron Bay NSW before he stops. Christians will don uniform. No USA to help, at least initially. The invader sets up camp and rules the north. Many die in the resistance. Mostly everyone gets conscripted. Law and order out of control. Looks like China, though Indonesia may also have a go (see invasion of australia david kriss). Australia asleep prior to invasion suggested. Some folks saw it coming and moved south. God spoke to others and they moved. Future defences fail. God Judges nation because of her sins. The people turn back to Christ in large numbers. Most revelations seemed to have been given to the small folk in Jesus. Small pastors and believers... mostly no big church pastors. No Hillsong boys. Just ordinary close- to- Jesus folks whom God trusted and chose for a special mission...to inform the nation of their sin and its ultimate consequences. A couple wrote books. "WHAT WILL BECOME OF AUSTRALIA" by pastor Jack Burrell 1975 about the biggest... the book travelling much through Assembly of God christian churches 70's and 80's.

There was a story on tv news this morning, Thursday 14th February, 2008, that China was buying oil from an African nation and in return equiping them with guns.
All over the world, quietly here and there, China is tearing down once stable governments.
Engineering their falls, for her own purposes.
Getting ready for the great outward march (the kings of the east).
Australia needs to be ready for that day and not reliant on a tired, wasted USA.
If youre a gun clubber you might down load this story and speak to others about it.
I dont think the Australian defence department is stable enough or insightful (Bible-wise) enough to do a decent job of national defence.
I expect you guys might do better on your own.
Without an organised home guard army, far greater in numbers than the Army Reserve... this country, off in the future somewhere, could be lost.

Gibo, come the day of the rapture, only non-believers will be left on earth anyway so you shouldn't have to concern yourself with such trivial matters. Or do you intend sticking around so you may be chivalrous enough to decline the mark of the beast?
I'm going on the first wave where I can sup from the feast of the lamb and be filled to my hearts content.
Speaking to soldiers though, Indonesia is the one to watch so you may direct your paranoia in that general direction if you wish. The northern part of Australia is our weakness (Bombing of Darwin a fine example) hence the reason our main forces are in the north, plus it makes it quicker to deploy them to those nasty foreign countries who need help from us more civilised, Christain nations.
I'll pray for you Gibo so you may be released from your fear.
I'm guessing you go to a church Brisbane way, perhaps even Nerang. Stay in the word and be blessed.

No worries wassup.
Im not in QLD.
I moved back to NSW after collecting so many revelations on the invader.
Jack Burrell in "WHAT WILL BECOME OF AUSTRALIA" 1975 says God will speak to some people about moving south out of enemy territory ...others will see whats coming and move. Most wont be ready. I just took adavantage of the years before, and got out.
The rapture? The problem is... we dont know when.
I had a Bible college teacher in Sydney who really believed that the rapture would be at the end.
Theres too much thought on early rapture, mid-tribulation rapture or end of endtimes rapture. I hope The Lord comes early, but He may not.
