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 on Thursday morning test-fired a new intercontinental ballistic missile with the range to hit the continental United States, just five days before the U.S. presidential election.
- Though Pyongyang has already tested an ICBM capable of striking the American homeland, analysts said Thursday’s missile displayed significantly improved performances over prior models.
- Experts say the timing of the launch may have been driven by political considerations in the United States rather than pressing technical reasons – and not simply the Nov. 5 election.
- Japanese and South Korean news outlets reported that the North Korean missile flew for some 86 minutes and reached an altitude of more than 4,300 miles – record flight times and heights for a North Korean missile. It flew approximately 621 miles before splashing in the Sea of Japan.
- The test was conducted at a lofted trajectory. If fired at a normal angle, analysts estimate, the missile would have the range to reach the entire continental U.S.
- The missile, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs, was likely a solid-fuel weapon. That means it can be rolled out of cover and launched more swiftly than a liquid-fueled weapon, avoiding preemptive strikes.
