North Korea claims to have successfully tested a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile, topped with a “super-large heavy warhead,” which is capable of striking the US mainland.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Mentally prepare yourself now for the idea that the United States will be forced to use military intervention to prevent a nuclear strike from North Korea. There is no amount or type of negotiations that will be able to resolve this. President Trump has no other option to stop Kim Jong Un than to force them to stop. When he does, expect a strong response from both Russia and China in favor of North Korea. Already Hawaii has reactivated nuclear fallout shelters and air raid warning systems for the first time in 25 years, with both Japan and South Korea actively preparing for war. The United States can easily defeat North Korea in battle, but fight them plus China and Russia? That would be a battle of Biblical proportions.

The country’s state media made the announcement Wednesday, hours after leader Kim Jong Un ordered the 3 a.m. launch of the Hwasong-15 missile, which reached the highest altitude ever recorded by a North Korean missile.

State news agency KCNA called its so-called new missile “the most powerful ICBM” and said it “meets the goal of the completion of the rocket weaponry system development. After the launch, Kim said North Korea had “finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force,” according to KCNA.

US Defense Secretary James Mattis said earlier the missile launched demonstrated North Korea had the ability to hit “everywhere in the world.”

The launch was the first since September, and came despite repeated warnings from President Donald Trump who told reporters at the White House after the launch that the US “will handle” the situation.

“We will take care of it,” the President said.

The Hwasong-15 soared 4,475 kilometers (2,800 miles) in the sky, spending 53 minutes in the air, before splashing down in waters off the coast of Japan, North Korea said. The figures tallied with estimates released by Japan and South Korea.

Mattis, who was with Trump in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, outlined how much tougher that situation has become. The test missile, he said, went “higher, frankly, than any previous shot they have taken” and demonstrates that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un now has the ability to hit “everywhere in the world basically.”

“The bottom line is, it’s a continued effort to build a threat — a ballistic missile threat that endangers world peace, regional peace and certainly the United States,” Mattis concluded.
David Wright of the Union of Concerned Scientists said that if the missile hadn’t been lofted into the sky and had flown on a standard trajectory, it would have been capable of traveling 13,000 kilometers, or 8,100 miles.

“Such a missile would have more than enough range to reach Washington, DC, and in fact any part of the continental United States,” Wright said in a statement, though he noted that range probably wouldn’t be possible if the missile were fitted with a heavy nuclear warhead.

The missile was launched from the west part of North Korea and is likely to have landed in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone, according to Masaki Hikida, public relations officer at Japan’s Ministry of Defense.

The flight time would suggest that this was a major ICBM test “possibly in operational settings” and should “disabuse US officials from thinking military displays, sanctions, or threats are deterring North Korean tests,” according to Adam Mount, a senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists.

“Today’s test proves that Pyongyang still feels able to test at will,” he told CNN, adding it also shows the Trump administration “has to get serious about deterring an atmospheric nuclear test.”
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho had hinted in September that Pyongyang could carry out an atmospheric nuclear test over the Pacific Ocean, possibly by strapping a warhead atop a missile or dropping it from an airplane.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson strongly condemned the launch and called for redoubled international pressure on Pyongyang, saying that the US “remains committed to finding a peaceful path to denuclearization.” But he added a lightly veiled warning about limited US patience.

“Diplomatic options remain viable and open, for now,” Tillerson said.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that, “If we have to go to war to stop this, we will. If there’s a war with North Korea it will be because North Korea brought it on itself, and we’re headed to a war if things don’t change.”

On Wednesday, a North Korea official reiterated comments made to CNN in October that there would be no diplomacy until the country has proven its nuclear capabilities.

The official added the two steps needed to achieve this goal were the “testing of a long-range ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile)” capable of reaching the US, followed by an above-ground nuclear detonation.

“Before we can engage in diplomacy with the Trump administration, we want to send a clear message that the DPRK has a reliable defensive and offensive capability to counter any aggression from the United States,” the official said, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Prior to today’s launch, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle had warned of devastating consequences if the US takes military action against North Korea. Pyongyang can batter Seoul with a barrage of conventional weapons, putting millions of South Koreans and more than 28,000 US troops stationed there within range. source

Trump Naively Calls Xi A ‘Good Friend’ While China’s Communist Strongman Invokes The ‘Thucydides Trap’ As A Taunt To The Rising Power Of The East

Trump Calls Xi A Good Friend As China’s Communist Strongman Invokes The Thucydides Trap And Places Taiwan Squarely In The Crosshairs

Xi Jinping did not casually mention the Thucydides Trap, he chose it like a dagger wrapped in silk. The very mention of it is a taunt to the American president. That phrase describes the moment when a rising power challenges an established power and the pressure between them makes war more likely. Xi knows exactly what that means. In that framework, China is the rising power, America is the aging empire, and Taiwan is the tripwire. So when Xi raises the Thucydides Trap in front of Trump, while Taiwan is sitting at the center of the talks, he is not merely warning against conflict. He is showing open aggression to Washington with the possibility that China’s rise may now be unstoppable.

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?” Psalms 2:1 (KJB)

That is what makes Trump’s “it’s an honor to be your friend” language so dangerous and so revealing. Xi is not Trump’s friend. Xi is the Communist ruler of a nation that believes Taiwan belongs under Beijing’s control, and he is reminding the American president that history has a pattern: the old power resists, the new power presses, and somewhere between fear and ambition the shooting starts. China wants America to “manage” the rivalry by backing away from Taiwan. America wants to preserve its Pacific order without triggering war. But Taiwan cannot be both surrendered and defended at the same time.

Taiwan becomes flashpoint of Trump-Xi summit as Rubio warns Beijing of ‘repercussions’ for invasion

FROM THE NY POST: President Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, were all smiles and full of public praise for each other at the start of their much-anticipated summit meeting here Thursday. A very different story began to emerge behind closed doors after Xi continually pressed the issue of Taiwan, the self-governing, democratic island that China claims as its own. The mid-morning sit-down ran long — about 40 minutes over its scheduled time. Trump was notably quieter at the leaders’ next stop, the 15th-century Temple of Heaven. He ignored shouted questions, and the body language of both presidents was noticeably stiffer. The Chinese quickly put out their version of the reasons why.

“President Xi stressed to President Trump that the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-US relations,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning wrote on X soon after the meeting broke up. “If it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy. “Taiwan independence’ and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water,” Mao went on. “Safeguarding peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is the biggest common denominator between China and the US.”

The White House did not release its own readout of the bilateral meeting for several hours — and that statement made no mention of Taiwan. Communications director Steven Cheung refused to talk about the topic when reporters for The Post and other outlets saw him at the state banquet, instead directing them to the official statement.

The Appointment By Trump Of Bilderberg Group Operative Kevin Warsh To The Federal Reserve Shows How Deep The Global Financial Control System Runs

Donald Trump Puts Bilderberg Insider Kevin Warsh Over The Federal Reserve As The New World Order Money Machine Keeps Right On Turning

President Donald Trump has appointed Kevin Warsh to chair the Federal Reserve, and Warsh is not some outsider brought in to dismantle the system. He is a former Federal Reserve governor, a Wall Street-connected insider, and a former member of the Bilderberg Group Steering Committee — one of the elite private forums long associated with globalist power, transatlantic policy shaping, and the New World Order agenda. That means the so-called “America First” revolution has now placed a Bilderberg-connected financier over the most powerful central bank in the world.

“Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” James 5:3 (KJB)

The Federal Reserve is not just another government institution. It controls the money machinery of America via interest rates, liquidity, banking reserves, inflation policy, emergency lending, and the financial system that affects the entire globe. Whoever runs the Fed has influence far beyond Washington. He sits at the center of the dollar-based world order. So when Trump hands that chair to a man acceptable to the same global financial class conservatives were told he came to defeat, it tells us something important: the system is not being dismantled. It is being rebranded.

This is how the New World Order advances. It does not always arrive through open force. It comes through “stability,” “markets,” “emergency measures,” “financial reform,” “digital modernization,” and “restoring confidence.” It speaks the language of patriotism while keeping the machinery of global control firmly in place. The Bible shows us exactly where this financial centralization is headed, and we talk about it all the time on our Podcast.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)

The coming Beast system will be a system of worship, yes — but also a system of economic control. Buying and selling will be regulated by allegiance, identity, and compliance. We are watching the infrastructure of Revelation 13 continue to take shape in real time. Central banking, digital currency, biometric identity, programmable payments, surveillance finance, AI censorship, crisis-driven emergency powers — these are not disconnected developments, and they are all connected to Donald Trump. They are the rails upon which the final system will run. Kevin Warsh at the Fed is another flashing red light that America’s monetary system remains in the hands of the same elite class that has been steering the postwar global order for decades. Trump may speak the language of MAGA nationalism, but make no mistake, this appointment of Warsh shows you that America is run by bankers and the Bilderberg Group, and Trump is happy to be along for the ride.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Countries Around The World Beginning To Reel From The Economic Shock Being Generated By World War Trump In Iran

Countries Around The World Begin To Feel The Economic Shock Generated By World War Trump As Inflation Skyrockets And Oil Prices Remain High

Countries around the world are beginning to feel the economic shockwaves from Donald Trump’s war with Iran, as energy prices, shipping costs, and supply-chain fears rise around the Strait of Hormuz. The New York Times reports that nations were bracing Monday for prolonged economic pain after President Trump rejected Iran’s latest offer to end the war and reopen Hormuz, calling it “garbage” and declaring the cease-fire to be “on massive life support.” What began as a military confrontation in the Middle East is now rapidly becoming a global economic event.

“Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.” James 5:2 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, what began as a military and diplomatic confrontation is now becoming a global economic event. Shipping costs, fuel prices, insurance rates, supply chains, inflation, and political unrest are all being pulled into the vortex. Reports today point to fears of bunker fuel shortages in global shipping, with Singapore prices said to have jumped sharply as the war squeezes maritime fuel supply. Saudi Aramco’s CEO has also warned that oil markets may not fully recover until 2027 if Hormuz disruptions continue, according to the New York Post. This is exactly how modern warfare works in the last days. It is not merely tanks, missiles, and aircraft. It’s energy, currency, food, shipping lanes, digital controls, emergency powers, and the tightening of the global system. Every war, every crisis, every supply-chain panic, every oil shock, and every government “emergency response” moves the nations one step closer to the global order that will be handed to Antichrist after the Church is removed. It’s looking more and more like US President Donald Trump is God’s man for judgment in the end times, a modern-day Nebuchadnezzar set up in the most-powerful political office on Earth.
