Wars and Rumors of Wars: Kings of the East Rising - India tests long range missile

Blogman's Notes:

Wars greater than any seen in recorded history are sure to come. The world in 2012 is in a far more war like mindset than at the end of the last century. This is evidenced by reports such as the ones below about India test firing a long range ballistic missile that can strike at the heart of China. And US Secretary of War, oops, Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta warned that war is only minutes away in many regions of the world. India and China have both been built up industrially and militarily to fulfill prophecy as the 'kings of the East'.

Major wars that kill by the millions in a short period of time are an unmistakable sign of the fulfilment of End of the World Biblical prophesies. So there can be no doubt that nuclear war and wars involving even more exotic weaponry await the world in the near future, the only question is when will these wars arise?

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.___________________________________________________________

• Pentagon chief: 'We're within an inch of war almost every day’

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta offered a blunt assessment of the threats facing the United States on Wednesday, saying the potential for another war breaking out remains high in places like North Korea.

“We’re within an inch of war almost every day in that part of the world,” Panetta said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, in response to a question about the threats in the Korean Peninsula. “And we just have to be very careful about what we say and what we do.” Read More

• India tests nuclear-capable missile that can reach China

(Re - India successfully test-fired on Thursday a nuclear-capable missile that can reach Beijing and Eastern Europe, thrusting the emerging Asian power into a small club of nations that can deploy nuclear weapons at such a great distance.

Footage showed the rocket with a range of more than 5,000 km (3,100 miles) blasting through clouds from an island off India's east coast. It was not immediately clear how far the rocket flew before reaching its target in the Indian Ocean.

The defense minister said the test was "immaculate".

"Today's successful Agni-V test launch is another milestone in our quest to add to the credibility of our security and preparedness," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a message to the scientists who developed the rocket.

Almost entirely Indian-made, the Agni-V is the crowning achievement of a program developed primarily with a threat from neighboring China in mind. It will not be operational for at least two years, the government says.

Only the U.N. Security Council permanent members - China, France, Russia the United States and Britain - along with Israel, are believed to have such long-range weapons. Read More
