Summary:
On December 29, North Korea fired long-range strategic cruise missiles into the sea as a test of its nuclear deterrence capabilities. This missile launch occurred shortly after state media reported progress on the construction of North Korea’s first nuclear-powered submarine. The tests took place ahead of the ruling Workers’ Party congress scheduled for early next year, which will be the first such meeting in five years. The congress is expected to address whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un should respond to calls from Washington to resume diplomatic talks.

Scripture: Psalm 2:1-3
"Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!""
Commentary:
Nations demonstrate their power through military displays, often aiming to assert independence or provoke rivals. That’s exactly what’s happening with these missile tests. Strategic posturing like this creates real uncertainty for ordinary citizens in the region and increases global anxiety. Scripture shows that such moves by rulers fit a larger prophetic pattern of unrest and resistance toward God’s authority among the nations. These patterns, repeatedly evident in recent history, remind believers not to be surprised as new power blocs test the boundaries on the world stage.
Prophetic Trend:
Major powers in the East continue to escalate military demonstrations, reflecting rising resistance among nations that aligns with prophetic patterns set out in Scripture.
