FIRST ANGEL -We are five angels from the five continents. of the world.
The first angel said: I have a message for all of Asia. When he said that, in a split few seconds, I could see all of China, India, the Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos - I've never been to those countries. I saw the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. And then the angel showed me all of Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya and down to Australia and New Zealand.I am the angel of Asia, he said. And in his hand I saw a tremendous trumpet that he is going to blow all over Asia. Whatever the angel said, it's going to happen with the trumpet of the Lord all over Asia. Millions are going to hear the mighty voice of the Lord. Then the angel said, There shall be disaster, starvation - many will die from hunger. Strong winds will be looked like has never happened before. A great part shall be shaken and destroyed. Earthquakes will take place all over Asia and the sea will cover the earth. and the angel told me it is going to happen all over Asia. The earth will fall into the sea, I heard the angel say, part of Australia will be shaken. Australia will be divided, and a great part will go under the ocean. This was frightening - I wondered whether I was hearing right. But the angel said,Millions will die in China and in India. Nation will be against nation, brother against brother. Asians will fight each other. Nuclear weapons shall be used, killing millions. Twice I heard the words, Catastrophic! Catastrophic! then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.I was trembling while the angel was speaking. Then he looked at me and smiled and said, There shall be the greatest spiritual awakening - bondage will be broken. Barriers will be removed. And all over Asia - China - India - people will turn to Christ. In Australia there shall be tremendous revival. I heard the angel of Asia say, It is the last harvest.Then as if the Lord were speaking, he said, I shall prepare My church for the return of Christ. I was happy with such good news after the message of judgment. All the time the five angels were in my room I could feel their presence - it was tremendous.
(LEAD) N. Korea says it is ready to use nuke weapons against U.S.2015/09/15 16:11-YONHAP NEWS
SEOUL, Sept. 15 (Yonhap) -- North Korea threatened Tuesday to use nuclear weapons against the United States as it announced that it has restarted operation of its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon complex.North Korea has made constant "innovations" in its capacity for nuclear deterrence "by steadily improving the levels of nuclear weapons with various missions in quality and quantity," the director of the Atomic Energy Institute said in a comment carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency.It said all the nuclear facilities in Yongbyon including the uranium enrichment plant and 5 megawatt reactor were rearranged, changed or readjusted and they started normal operation.The unidentified director also warned that North Korea is fully ready to deal with the United States and other countries Pyongyang claims are hostile toward North Korea "with nuclear weapons any time."The North's threat is likely to dampen South and North Korea's hard-won conciliatory mood on the peninsula following their landmark deal on easing military tension in late August.On Monday, North Korea hinted at launching what it calls "a series of satellites around the North's 70th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), which falls on Oct. 10.North Korea's nuclear and missile tests have flared up tension on the Korean Peninsula amid concerns that it may soon develop the technology to mount a nuclear warhead on long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.The North has said it has already made nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a missile as it has claimed the success of test-firing a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) in May.North Korea conducted three nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, 2013 in defiance of the global community's condemnation. Pyongyang is under heavy sanctions by the United Nations Security Council for its nuclear tests and ballistic missile launches.The North has been pursuing a dual policy of developing nuclear weapons as well as boosting its ailing economy.The six-party talks aimed at ending the North's nuke programs have been stalled since late 2008 when the North abruptly walked away from the negotiation table. The denuclearization talks involve the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia.sooyeon@yna.co.kr-(END)
North Korea warns US it is ready to use nuclear weapons-By AT Editor on September 15, 2015
North Korea threatened Tuesday to use nuclear weapons against the United States as it announced that it has restarted operation of its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon complex, Yonhap reports.kim“All the nuclear facilities in Yongbyon including the uranium enrichment plant and 5 megawatt reactor were rearranged, changed or readjusted and they started normal operation,” the director of the Atomic Energy Institute said in a comment carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency.The unidentified director also warned that North Korea is fully ready to use nuclear weapons against the United States and other countries Pyongyang claims are hostile toward North Korea.Earlier Tuesday, South Korea warned North Korea against conducting a long-range rocket launch, a day after Pyongyang hinted it may launch a satellite during a key political anniversary next month, VoA reports.Such an act would be a “serious provocation” and a violation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions banning the North from conducting ballistic missile tests, according to South Korean presidential spokesman Kim Min-seok.North Korean officials Monday vowed to move ahead with plans to launch what they say is a weather satellite into orbit. They gave no timeframe for such a launch, but there has been speculation it could happen October 10, the 70th anniversary of the North’s ruling Worker’s Party.While North Korea insists the launch has peaceful purposes, the US and its ally, South Korea, along with many other nations view such moves as disguised tests of the same technology used in ballistic missiles.After repeated failed attempts, the North successfully placed a weather satellite into orbit in 2012 – a major technological achievement that brought another punishing round of international sanctions against the isolated, communist state.A fresh rocket launch risks disrupting a period of warming relations between the two Koreas. The two sides in August exchanged artillery fire near their border, but later signed a landmark agreement to improve ties.Under the deal, the two Koreas next month plan to resume a program of meetings meant to reconnect families separated for decades by their 1950s conflict. Leaders from both countries also plan to hold a series of meetings to discuss improving relations. Relations between Seoul and Pyongyang are notoriously rocky. The two sides remain in a technical state of war since the Korean War ended in a truce instead of a formal peace treaty.Japan Tuesday urged North Korea to refrain from taking provocative action and to continue cooperation with the United States and South Korea.Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, the Japanese government’s top spokesman, told a news conference that North Korea should also comply with U.N. Security Council resolutions.US State Department spokesman John Kirby said if North Korea uses ballistic missile technology to launch a satellite, Pyongyang would be in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.“There are multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions that require North Korea to suspend all activities related to their ballistic missile program and re-establish a moratorium on missile launches,” Kirby said. “So any satellite launch using ballistic missile technology would be a clear violation of those resolutions.”
