The Final Countdown

Early this morning, North Korea conducted an underground test of a nuclear weapon, followed by the testing of three short range missiles.

A great war will happen at the midpoint of the Tribulation. It begins with the Russian led confederation of Arab nations (Psalm 83:4-5) breaking the peace contract orchestrated by the Antichrist (Daniel 9:27) to march on Israel. After this Russian horde is defeated (Joel 2:20; Ezekiel 39:6), the largest army ever assembled (Revelation 9:16) (comprised of Oriental nations) marches down the Euphrates river (Revelation 9:14; 16:12) to go to war with the armies of the Antichrist (Daniel 11:44). During this battle nuclear weapons will be used (Revelation 8:7; 9:18; Zechariah 14:12).
