Summary:
On December 29, China’s Eastern Theater Command initiated a new series of military exercises surrounding Taiwan, involving live-fire drills and simulated strikes across the Taiwan Strait and surrounding waters and airspace. The operations included deployments of various naval and air assets such as destroyers, frigates, fighters, bombers, unmanned aerial vehicles, amphibious assault ships, and long-range rockets. The exercises featured anti-submarine activities, blockades of Taiwan’s main ports, airspace target neutralization, and long-distance raids. The drills occurred shortly after the United States announced an $11.1 billion arms sale to Taiwan, which Taipei condemned as provocative actions undermining regional stability.

Scripture: Matthew 24:6-7
"And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes."
Commentary:
Large scale military exercises like these create a visible sense of tension for people living near the Taiwan Strait. Watching warships and aircraft gather nearby is a daily reminder of potential volatility. The pattern of rising threats and counterthreats between nations fits the kind of unrest Scripture describes as a signpost of the times. Even far from biblical land, this type of military activity signals a world increasingly shaped by prophetic patterns of conflict and shifting power.
Prophetic Trend:
Escalating military activities signal increasing alignment with biblical patterns of nation rising against nation in strategic global regions.
