The Final Countdown

Spy satellites have picked up movement that indicates North Korea is preparing to test launch another missile. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he believes North Korea is about to launch an ICBM with a range of 4,000 miles, putting parts of the United States within reach. Gates said that North Korea’s progress in nuclear and missile technology is “a harbinger of a dark future.”

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).
