North Korea launches rocket
Despite the requests of world leaders and the presence of US warships, North Korea has launched a Taepodong-2 rocket. North Korea claims this was to launch a “communications satellite,” but since as of this writing, no one thinks a satellite was on board, the rest of the world figures it was a ballistic missile test. Time will tell.

Prior to the launch, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Mike Mullen, said he thought the rocket could potentially reach Hawaii, as well as Alaska.
Predictably, China and Russia support this launch, since they are part of a cabal forming (Revelation 9:16) to take out both Israel (Revelation 16:12) and likely the United States (Jeremiah 50).
