N. Korea approves nuclear strike on US

So the following news article seems to indicate that the talk of war continues. I have been wondering about the possibility of an emp strike by NK against us? I had read one article that talked about the US preemptively striking NK before they can use any kind of nuclear warhead against us. I have been praying and asking GOD for calmer heads in this situation. I don't know if its the news or not but I have really been praying concerning this it has been on my heart. I pray for those in South Korea and those in the North.

Any thoughts on this. Could this be the LORD trying to get our attention in this country?

God bless

N. Korea approves nuclear strike on US

(AFP) – 6 minutes ago

SEOUL — The North Korean army said Thursday it had final approval to launch "merciless" military strikes on the United States, involving the possible use of "cutting-edge" nuclear weapons.

In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) said it was formally informing Washington that reckless US threats would be "smashed by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means".

"The merciless operation of (our) revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified," the statement said.

"The US had better ponder over the prevailing grave situation," it added.

North Korea had threatened a "pre-emptive" nuclear strike against the United States a month ago, and last week the supreme army command ordered its strategic rocket units to combat status for strikes on the US mainland and US bases in Guam and Hawaii.

"The moment of explosion is approaching fast," Thursday's statement said, adding that a war could break out on the Korean peninsula "today or tomorrow".

"In view of this situation, the KPA General Staff in charge of all operations will take powerful practical military counteractions in succession," it said.

Despite a successful long-range rocket launch in December, most experts believe North Korea is years from developing a genuine inter-continental ballistic missile that could strike the mainland United States.

Hawaii and Guam would also be outside the range of its medium-range missiles, which would be capable, however, of striking US bases in South Korea and Japan.

The army statement said responsibility for the current crisis "entirely rests" with the United States, citing the participation of nuclear-capable US B-52s and B-2 stealth bombers in ongoing joint military drills with South Korea.

"Never has the whole Korean peninsula been exposed to such danger of a nuclear war as today," it added.

MJ ive been closely following this news event forawhile out of concern.

There has been little resonse to these postings.

Perhaps yours (being more respected) in the forum here.

Will generate more interest & response.

Conversely though: Maybe people dont know ( what to think yet)

they are simply ( watching all the talk)

bouncing backwards and forwards between N.korea and the Us

Until actual war does occur( Breakout) i really dont think people will commeny on the daily developing looming crisis.

Until something actually jumps out and bites people on the proverbial. posterior so to speak - then they will - speak forth.

Anyway my thoughts.

God bless

I have been wondering if this could be God's judgment on us - such a little country, putting the great America in its place...but this is not popular thinking. So I watch...and pray....

I will admit I have not really known what to think on this topic myself. I have felt a little overwhelmed by all the "news" talk everyday.It does seem to be in the forefront right now.

I do have this very strong desire placed on my heart though to pray for those in these areas. To pray for the lost and to pray for the underground church in NK. I don't know what is going to happen and I do not want to sound fearful I know the LORD is in control but I do feel that perhaps this is happening to wake us up and cause us to seek HIM.

Of course I know this maybe something HE is placing on my heart and not everyone else too.

Thank you for your reply
God bless

N. Korea s attk on the US will be a major fail (it will distract from the real threat), however it will set the stage for another attck which will occur on US soil and succeed, that attk will cripple this Country but not destroy us out of hand, it ll mainly be a coastal attck and the midwest will not be touched at all.Interesting times indeed.

while we are distracted and busy with N.Korea there will be several events that happen to this Country, there will be no direct invasion however in some areas the invasion has already happened, but we will experience a nuclear attk, I'm not sure if it will be an EMP attck or a the nukes will hit a few cities DC being one of them. We'll be to busy with N Korea to notice. There may be one event prior to that one but I do not feel comfortable sharing it at this time anyway.

Care to share how you know there will be such attacks successfully launched against the US dohzman? I don't think many Americans are distracted by NK, because frankly, I don't think many Americans take the threats seriously.

NK shouldn't be brushed off, but most experts seem to agree they are not capable of hitting the US with any missiles at this time. We need to especially pray for SK and the surrounding countries where a more imminent threat exists.

be careful...I neither said that N Korea was not to be taken seriously or that they would be able to launch a missile at us, they will be like a hook set into the jaw of a fish and used to draw the US into war...that much is assured, and a launch from them toward us will in the end be unsuccessful.(I did say they would fail, but that's not to say we would not be pulled into war with them) But the threat that they pose' will be only that which serves to distract us from our real threat. The US has a presence in S Korea and we will have major troops there again, most likely it'll be China that steps in(to try to bring peace) but only after things are pretty dire for N Korea.

Personally, anymore I have a hard time believing ANYTHING the six o’clock news produces; it's all suspect in my book!

DO consider this verse: Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets. Amos 3.7

This is what I’m watching and listening for!! I believe in prophets and I believe they are here today, say what you will I still believe. (Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 2 Chron 20.20)

But as the Body of Christ.... We definitely NEED to be praying for the 26 yr old spoiled tyrant that is running NK, only God can change the minds of men.

God bless,

I have a Christian friend who is South Korean born and raised. He says that North Korean threats are basically saber-rattling. Someone from North Korea posted a You Tube video a few weeks back with a shuttle dropping a nuke on the US. I asked my buddy about it and he just shrugged it off. Both North Korea and South Korea have ran plenty of campaigns to display a show of force to the other. We, the US that is, have, of course, helped the South Koreans in this for many years.

I have been in South Korea for military training, and everyone I have ever heard on the subject said that North Korea would be very foolish to attack the US. Though it would be messy, they would definitely lose a war with the US. The only area I have heard they are strong is in surface to air technology. So in other words, if they started a war, they would shoot down a lot of enemy planes, but then lose every other aspect of the war, but inflict a good number of casualties in the process. It's highly doubtful they would attempt this, as it would cost the North Koreans much more than it would cost the US, and make them a lot of enemies that were once neutral.

Regardless, God is in control...Psalm 2.

Much of the things I receive take a good many years for me to understand, like I saw the statue of liberty face down...just that segment of a longer dream took me almost 12 years until I had understanding on what it meant.

That said, I woke after a dream sometime ago with the knowledge that Iran had purchased ICBM's from Russia and that they were fitting them for submarines and developing nuke warhead for those ICBM's..This happened before Iran started it Nuclear enrichment program by several years. I understood that the zones or places they would strike were DC in the US and several other places along the coast as well as Australia (but for the life of me I don't understand why Australia).
Anyway, what has been a puzzle to me is why would God allow a country like N. Korea to fail and Iran to succeed. All that said, I really hope that what I saw/what I understood/ does not come to pass and I am found to be false...chalk it up to pizza:) ...because if what I saw comes to pass, the very thought of it causes great emotional distress just in the knowing and when I think and pray on those things, I suffer both physically as well as emotionally.
