USA - We are just inches away from the outbreak of World War III, and yet most Americans seem completely oblivious to what is happening. On Friday, North Korea conducted a missile test which proved that it now has the capability of hitting major US cities in the western half of the country. Every diplomatic effort to end North Korea’s nuclear program has completely failed, the Chinese have shown that they do not intend to do much of anything to intervene in this crisis, and the United Nations is a dead end.
Given enough time, the North Koreans will build hundreds of ICBMs capable of delivering nukes to cities all over America, and the Trump administration has already indicated that they will never accept this. If no other way can be found to derail North Korea’s nuclear program, President Trump will almost certainly order a military strike, and that could set off a war in which millions could die.
Personally, I am stunned that North Korea’s missile test on Friday didn’t receive more attention from the mainstream media, because the truth is that this was the biggest step toward war on the Korean peninsula since 1953… If the missile had been fired at a standard trajectory, it could have easily reached Los Angeles, Denver or Chicago. In other words, more than half the continental United States is now within range of North Korean missiles…
North Korea is honeycombed with underground tunnels and bunkers. There is no possible way that we could hit all of their nukes on a first strike, and if the North Koreans even get off a single nuke in response it is going to be an unprecedented disaster. Could you imagine what would happen if a North Korean nuke hit Tokyo or Seoul? Even one nuke could kill millions in those densely populated cities, and financial markets all over the world would almost instantly implode.
And North Korea also has some of the largest chemical and biological weapons stockpiles on the entire planet. Within moments of an attack, thousands of North Korean artillery pieces and rockets would start raining fire on Seoul, and even just a few chemical or biological warheads would cause immense devastation in that city of about 10 million people.
In addition, North Korean forces are poised to invade South Korea at literally any moment, and the only way that South Korea could survive such an invasion would be direct intervention by US Forces. A war with North Korea would be the most disastrous event for our planet since World War II, and it is something that we want to avoid at all costs. Unfortunately, events are moving us in the direction of such a war very rapidly now, and it is very difficult to see how we are going to avoid such a scenario.
Wars, and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6).
It seems like there is a spirit of unrest at work right around the world. Just look at today's headlines:
“The US Is Inches From A War With North Korea”
“Reasons for India to fear after Pakistan PM Sharif’s ouster”
“Qatar and Saudi Arabia in furious row over Hajj pilgrimage”
...along with continuing conflict in Syria,
Somalia
Darfur
Turkey
Nigeria
Democratic Republic of Congo
Libya
Yemen
Iraq
South Sudan
Kashmir
Afghanistan
Myanmar
Ukraine
Mexico,
...and serious continuing unrest at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, peace is in short supply!
The situation with North Korea seems likely to end in conflict, while India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers, seem set for yet another Kashmir war.
Then we have the continuing political upheaval between the UK and Europe, along with the threat of trade wars between the USA and Europe, and with the financial world on the brink of collapse, it's hard to see any peaceful solutions to all these ongoing situations.
The prophecies of Matthew 24 now seem very real.
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
