N. Korea Rejects U.S. Condition on Talks
(AP) - North Korea rejected as "pie in the sky" U.S. offers of talks and possible aid in exchange for abandoning its nuclear ambitions, accusing Washington on Wednesday of staging a "deceptive drama" to mislead world opinion. Keeping up a stream of anti-American invective — even as it agreed to more high-level meetings with South Korea next week — Pyongyang declared it would accept no U.S. offer of dialogue with conditions attached.

Rumsfeld: U.S. Asks NATO Assistance in Iraq War
(Reuters) - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday the United States had formally requested military assistance from NATO allies in the event of a war with Iraq. Rumsfeld made his comments after NATO officials in Brussels said the United States sought six forms of indirect military support from NATO countries in case of a war with Iraq, including the deployment of missiles to protect Turkey, and access to airspace, bases, ports and refueling facilities.

Bubonic Plague Samples Missing in Texas
(AP) - Vials containing samples of lethal bubonic plague have disappeared from Texas Tech University, and the FBI was investigating, authorities said Wednesday. A statement from the university said vials of bubonic plague, being used to improve treatment of plague victims, were reported missing to campus police on Tuesday. Thirty-five vials were believed missing from the school's Health Sciences Center, said Frank Morrison, a Lubbock city councilman, who told CNN he was briefed by emergency officials.

Comments

North Korea doesn't understand that the nature of an offer are the conditions or strings attached.  Without conditions or parameters there's chaos.  Unfortunately, this doesn't look good for the future and unless someone steps in war may breakout.

The war with Iraq is all but started.  Troops have been sent, positions have been calculated and additional help is on its way.  I see very little hope that war will be averted.  As I said in the last update, look for an attack a few weeks after the upcoming January 27th weapon inspectors briefing.  Something you may want to pay attention to.  After the inspectors present their findings, watch to see if there is a delay in their return to Iraq.  That maybe a sign that an attack is near.  They will eventually have to leave before an attack takes place and that would probably be as good a time as any.

Why is this time in history more dangerous then any other?  It's simple!  With terrorists groups on the verge of acquiring nuclear, chemical and biological weapons it won't be long until someone walks into the middle of a major metropolitan area and reduces it to a pile of rubble.  I don't believe this will happen until after the rapture takes places, but I certainly could be mistaken.  After all, both Christians and non-Christians were among the 3000+ dead that fell on 9/11.  

But the real danger lies with the many irresponsible nations that are getting very close or have already acquired nuclear technology.  Yes, we are far and away ahead of other nations that possess this technology but we have only mastered its destructive possibilities.  We haven't at this time mastered the possibility of preventing a nuclear weapon from landing on our soil if that should occur, although, we are in extensive testing.  Personally, I'm not sure we will ever come to that place given the destruction that will take place from the second through the fourth seal judgments (Revelation 6:3-8).  One quarter of the worlds population will die from war.  That should give you a clue of how close we are to the beginning of the tribulation period.  Of course, we could come up with a smart weapon  that might knock down an incoming nuclear bomb and another country, in the meantime, could figure out away to fool the smart weapon putting us back at square one. 

I guess it all comes back to the point that no one can predict when the Lord will finally rapture the church and bring about the tribulation period.  But we can know the season and I do believe it is upon us.

By the way, in the process of writing this article the missing bubonic plague samples have been recovered.  It looks like we can rest a little easier now.  Although, it serves as a reminder of how dangerous this world has become in a very short amount of time.
