BREAKING NEWS: NORTH KOREA DETONATES NUCLEAR WEAPON
BREAKING NEWS: International news agencies are now reporting that the Communist rogue nation of North Korea has just announced they have successfully tested another nuclear bomb. This continues a long feared concern that the North Koreans are conducting the nuclear tests for the Islamic terrorist nation of Iran. Those who continue to sidestep the reality of Biblical prophecy that these are the Last Days, are going to soon find themselves in a dark world void of security and void of a relationship with the only thing that can save them: the Lord Jesus Christ.
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea announced Monday that it successfully carried out an underground nuclear test, weeks after threatening to restart its rogue atomic program.
The country's official Korean Central News Agency called Monday's test "part of measures to bolster its nuclear deterrent for self-defense."
President Lee Myung-bak convened an emergency security session. His spokesman, Lee Dong-kwan, confirmed that a nuclear test may have been carried out in the North.
Seismologists from the U.S., South Korea and Japan reported earthquakes in an northeastern area, where North Korea conducted a nuclear test in 2006.
A 4.7-magnitude earthquake was registered in northeastern North Korea at 9:54 a.m. (0054 GMT), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake, measured at a depth of 6 miles (10 kilometers) underground, occurred 40 miles (70 kilometers) northwest of the city of Kimchaek, the USGS said.
The Japan Meteorological Agency also said it detected seismic activity Monday morning. "We are checking whether they were due to a nuclear test," agency official Gen Aoki said in Tokyo.
In Seoul, the Korea Institue of Geoscience and Mineral Resources reported a 4.5-magnitude quake in Kilju in North Hamgyong Province.
North Korea also carried out a nuclear test in October 2006 in Kilju, a test that drew sanctions from the United Nations and prompted five other nations to push negotiations on a nuclear disablement-for-aid pact with North Korea.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Andy Laine said the U.S. government had no confirmation of a new nuclear test.
"At this point we've seen the reports and we're trying to get more information, but we're not able to confirm at this time," Laine said.

Comments
The Bible says that Jesus prophesied that his second coming would occur during the lifetime of his generation. As we all know, he did not return and we are still waiting. So much for biblical prophecy. There is not one shred of evidence that Jesus has ever "saved" anyone.
The burden of proof is on those who make these outrageous claims.
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
James, how gracious of you! By your grace are we saved.
