The possible US and North Korea War and Bible Prophecy?

Trump and King Jom Un and World War 3?

Over the weekend it was announced that the US had sent a number of navy warships to North Korea in connection with the recent missile launches that have been taking place clearly in violation of International Law. That tweet was put out with a link to the relevant story with some concern. At the time, this recently followed just days previously a missile strike on Syria by Trump following the recent chemical weapons attack that killed 100 people.

This article will quickly look at this rapidly evolving North Korea situation (see previous article for Syria and Bible Prophecy) to see what the general situation is, whether it is of concern and whether this is mentioned anywhere in Bible Prophecy?

The recent headlines from the media are stating the following These are some samples from all the mainstream UK papers

1. The Guardian: North Korea 'ready for war' after US redeploys navy strike team

2. The Telegraph: North Korea vows to respond to US Navy's 'reckless' show of force

3. The FT: US carrier’s Korea mission: a message to the world

Obviously this situation is of concern. The intention by the Trump and the US is to curb further missile testing in North Korea by King Jom Un which the surrounding nations have failed to achieve or are simply ignoring, hoping the problem will go away. This is exactly how the Second World War started, when action was finally taken..... it was too late. The US is taking these steps more in the name of peace. The problem again with the tactics being employed here by the US is yet again a "fighting fire with fire" mentality which has the potential to go beyond Sabre rattling and launching us unwittingly into a possible World War 3 scenario. At present this move doesn't seem to have any backing from neighbouring nations in the Asia Pacific, or even allies that backed the Syria attack, but these are early days.

Is this mentioned in Bible Prophecy?
Most if not all of Bible Prophecy revolves around the Middle East particularly Israel and more to the point Jerusalem, with the two most relevant being the Battle of Gog Magog and Armageddon (some say these are one and the same). Hence the interest in the Syria attack which is a neighbouring nation to Israel. BUT there is a mention of some sort of war before these major battles take place, which is mentioned in the Second Horseman of the Apocalypse which is the Second Seal of Revelation.

Revelation 6:3-4
3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Some say this Second Seal has been opened. some say this seal has yet to be opened. Some say that none of the seals have been opened at all. I personally think quite strongly otherwise, but I could be wrong. A recent video which features over at The Twelve Gates You Tube Channel called WWW iii & The Second Seal of Revelation Prophecy made some weeks ago, gives my views on whether this Second Seal actually has been opened, what it means in our current times and most importantly........ has this seal been opened.

Summary.
It is too early to say what will happen with the US and North Korea, the US simply outclasses North Korea in technological military terms if a war was to emerge, although in number terms North Korea have a surprisingly massive army. Despite their military might however, the US must not forget what happened in Vietnam and also David and Goliath in the Bible also springs to mind!

Looking at a map of the Pacific Ocean raises another problem that is close to hand in that area, that is the South China Seas. Any action with North Korea could cause a possible flare up situation there, with a much larger and far more formidable opponent, namely China which the US has not had favourable encounters with recently. This was also mentioned in another video called China and Bible Prophecy who again are mentioned indirectly as stated in the video in the Book of Revelation and the Prophecy it contains.
