Revelation 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • North Korea launched seven short-range ballistic missiles into the sea east of the Korean Peninsula in a test on Monday evening ahead of the U.S. presidential election, according to The Associated Press.
  • The seven missiles, detected by Japan and South Korea, flew as far as 400 kilometers (248 miles) according to Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani.
  • Some analysts believe that North Korea might leverage its expanding nuclear arsenal in order to gain concessions from the next U.S. administration, particularly in the form of sanctions relief.
  • South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol theorized as to why North Korea has conducted the missile launches and said, “North Korea seems to have recently disclosed its nuclear facility in order to draw attention from the United States and the international community in the run-up to the U.S. presidential election, and it is likely that North Korea will carry out additional provocations such as nuclear tests and ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missile] launches going forward.”
  • The ICBM that North Korea tested at the end of last month could theoretically reach anywhere in the U.S. mainland, as it reached an altitude of 4,350 miles and flew a distance of 620 miles, according to Nakatani. It has a potential range of 9,320 miles.
