Preparing for the worst on the South Kuril Islands

Prophecy Sign:  There will be wars and rumors of wars

Jesus told his disciples, (and of course the rest of us who read God's word), that there would be a proliferation of conflicts throughout the world, (both actual and rumored), at the time of his coming.

When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Luke 21:9-10 NIV

From the articles:

Russia is backing up its rhetoric over the South Kuril Islands with action. In a surprise move that will no doubt further aggravate the long-standing territorial dispute between Russia and Japan, Russia's military-political leadership announced plans to modernize its armed forces in the country's Far East.

It is abundantly clear that in order to successfully defend the South Kuril Islands, Russia must considerably upgrade the combat readiness of its forces and better staff and equip its bases on the islands.

US and South Korean troops opened 11 days of war games Monday in the face of North Korean threats to turn Seoul into “a sea of fire” and to start “all-out war.” Officials dismissed the rhetoric from North Korea as a sign of rising North Korean anger in a familiar cycle of threats. The US command here says the exercises, involving nearly 13,000 US troops and 200,000 Korean civilians mainly conducted on computers, had been in the planning stage for months and were entirely “defensive.”
