China Fires Nuclear-Capable Missile Into Pacific in Show of Force

China's People's Liberation Army Navy test-fired a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile into the South Pacific on July 6, 2026, during a joint drill with Russia, drawing condemnation from the United States, Japan, Australia, and regional allies. This escalating nuclear posturing between great powers aligns with biblical warnings of wars and rumours of wars — a hallmark sign Jesus identified as marking the approach of the end of the age. The alignment of Russia and China in military partnership echoes prophetic descriptions in Ezekiel 38–39 of a great northern coalition that rises to threaten the established world order in the last days.
