China Fires Pacific Ballistic Missile Hours After Australia-Fiji Defence Pact

China's PLA Navy test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into the South Pacific on July 6, 2026, hours after Australia and Fiji signed a mutual defence pact pledging to confront 'common danger' in the region. This escalating military posturing between global powers in the Pacific reflects the accelerating alignment of nations into rival blocs — a pattern Scripture identifies as characteristic of the last days before Christ's return. Jesus warned that 'wars and rumours of wars' would mark the end of the age, and the book of Revelation describes a final convergence of the 'kings of the east' marching toward the great conflict at Armageddon.
