North calls alert, U.S. and Korea plan 5-way talks
July 19, 2006 ¤Ñ North Korea has ordered wartime mobilization preparation for its soldiers and citizens, a senior intelligence official said yesterday. The order was delivered to military and civilian leaders just after midnight Sunday, four hours before the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution condemning the North's arms and missile programs.
President Roh Moo-hyun convened a meeting of his security officials today to discuss that mobilization order and other issues stemming from the UN resolution. The order, which was not broadcast by radio or television, was the first in 13 years. In March 1993, readiness was increased as North Korea pulled out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
The intelligence official said he assessed the order, in Kim Jong-il's name, as an effort to rally the nation behind him. He said soldiers were recalled to barracks, camouflage was being rolled out and civilian travel had been restricted.
In Washington, the South Korean and U.S. representatives at the six-party talks on North Korean nuclear issues said yesterday they agreed on the value of a session of those talks even without North Korea present.
Greeted by reporters as they left a luncheon meeting, Chun Young-woo and Christopher Hill said such a meeting might keep some momentum alive in the moribund negotiating forum. Pyongyang has boycotted those talks since last autumn.
The two men said no date has been set; indeed, China, the host of the negotiating forum, appears to be ambivalent at best about a meeting sans North Korea. Mr. Hill told reporters that the other five nations in the talks ¡ª Russia, China, South Korea, Japan and the United States ¡ª wanted to give North Korea some time to consider the implications of the United Nations Security Council resolution adopted last weekend condemning its missile tests and calling on it to return to the six-way talks.
He repeated that Washington would sit down for discussions with Pyongyang only in the context of those six-way talks.
Mr. Chun said he was confident that Beijing would eventually agree to a five-way meeting.
"Russia will pose no problem and China seems to have become more flexible in recent days," he said, "but we have to keep consulting."

Mat 24:1-13
Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. (2) But he answered them, "You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." (3) As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" (4) And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. (5) For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. (6) And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. (7) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. (8) All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. (9) "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. (10) And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. (11) And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. (12) And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. (13) But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
"Gospel been published in all nations yet?"
Paul said the whole earth had heard while he was still alive!
It's a fallacy that there's something like this "keeping" Him from returning, other than His mercy for the lost.
Jesus said it could be any day, and a thousand years is as a day unto the Lord.
Kim Il Jong will be "removed" from power soon. The new leader will be much different.
I hope the "new leader" does not speak Chinese.:)
"Was Bush picked...?"
Scripture says all leaders are put there by God. He even permits the evil ones. It explains the purposes for government, and explains how we are to deal with bad and good governments.
Good and bad leaders can also be led by God to do His will.
They also can be rejected by Him and not have His blessing on their lives or countries until they repent and turn to Him. Or their lives can be seemingly prosperous, but actually devoid of His presence.
No one knows when but I know how the story ends:') ( Mark 13:10).
Bump.
Bttt
