China test-fired a long-range submarine-launched ballistic missile capable of reaching the continental United States, triggering alarm from NATO, Australia, Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The test, conducted alongside a joint Chinese-Russian naval exercise, signals a rapidly accelerating military alliance between powers historically positioned against the West — a convergence Bible prophecy identifies as central to the final world order. Scripture warns of a great coalition from the north and east that will converge in the last days, and the deepening axis of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea aligns with the prophetic trajectory described in Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 16:12.
