Japan Goes On Alert At Signs North Korea Plans Missile Test...
TOKYO, Sept. 23 - Japan sent two destroyers and a surveillance airplane
to the Sea of Japan on Thursday, American and Japanese government officials
said, after the United States and Japan detected signs that North Korea was
preparing to test a ballistic missile capable of reaching the main islands
of Japan.
At the same time, the North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun warned Japan that its military cooperation with the United States "would serve as a detonating fuse to turn Japan into a nuclear sea of fire," the official Korean Central News Agency reported.
Japan To List China As
Major Threat...
TOKYO
Reflecting growing wariness between the two giants of Asia, an advisory
panel to Japan's prime minister will recommend that China be viewed as a
potential military threat for the first time, a newspaper here reported
Wednesday. Since the end of World War II, Japan has regarded its main
military threat as coming from the north, Russia, and from the west, North
Korea. But now, according to the report in Japan's leading business
newspaper, Nihon Keizai, the 10-member advisory panel to Prime Minister
Junichiro Koizumi will recommend that China, to the southwest, be regarded
as a potential military threat.

Comments
The European Union is split over its constitution and that may last until
the antichrist comes on the scene. It may take a gifted leader to
figure out how to solve the problems of the E.U. and the Middle East.
Of course, his gifts will be granted of God and we must also realize that
without the protecting hand of God we'd be in a lot of trouble.
What a lot of people don't understand is that when the rapture takes place the Holy Spirit will depart as well as leave satan to do his will as God directs him. When the antichrist comes on the scene, at some point he will rise through both peaceful means and war (Daniel 7:24). The Bible says he will put down at least three nations that we know of. It's hard to determine who the three nations will be, but it could be the "Big Three" France, Germany and the UK. These three nations may oppose his claim as supreme ruler, or later, his claim to be God...probably the latter.
The rise of Neo-Nazism in Germany is flourishing. In fact it has been described as making "startling gains". Look for this to be a problem in the future for Israel if the world does not put a stop to it.
Both North Korea and Iran continue to defy the world in their quest to become a nuclear power. Korea even went as far to tell Japan if they continue to cooperate with the U.S. it "would serve as a detonating fuse to turn Japan into a nuclear sea of fire," the official Korean Central News Agency reported. Strong words from a country that claims it doesn't have a nuclear program. If that isn't enough, Japan has now placed China on its list of major threats.
