CHINA is threatening to NUKE Japan on the eve of the Olympics if it intervenes in conflict with Taiwan, it has been revealed in a new video.
The communist republic said that it would declare "full-scale war" against Japan if the Taiwan disagreement escalates, stoking World War Three fears.
It comes after earlier this month, China vowed to invade Taiwan and explained how it would do it.
An article in a state-controlled publication offered a glimpse of a terrifying three-stage plan to pave the way for an invasion force to storm the breakaway island.
President Xi Jinping pledged a "complete reunification" with Taiwan as he delivered a speech to mark 100 years of the Chinese Communist party.
Any invasion would represent a serious escalation of hostilities and could drag in the US through its pact to defend Taiwan.
Washington’s regional allies such as South Korea, Japan and Australia could also be sucked into a conflict as would Nato forces such as the UK because the US is a member of the alliance.
But a video channel, allegedly approved by the Chinese Communist Party with close ties to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), took the anger to the next level.
In the new video now deleted, a narrator said: “We will use nuclear bombs first. We will use nuclear bombs continuously.
"We will do this until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time.”
“When we liberate Taiwan, if Japan dares to intervene by force – even if it only deploys one soldier, one plane or one ship – we will not only return fire but also wage full-scale war against Japan itself.”
Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso has said: “We must defend Taiwan, under our alliance with the US”.
And Defence Minister Yasuhide Nakayama added Japan and the US must “protect Taiwan as a democratic country”.
To which a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, retorted at a press briefing last week: “We will never allow anyone to intervene in the Taiwan question in any way."
At the weekend, it called on Beijing to abandon its “no first-use” nuclear weapons policy.
“In 1964, when our first atomic bomb was successfully detonated, we promised the world that we would not use atomic weapons against non-nuclear countries, and we would not be the first to use them,” the narrator recites.
“Nearly 60 years have passed. Now the international situation has changed dramatically.
"Our country is in the midst of a major change. And all political policies, tactics and strategies must be adjusted to protect the peaceful rise of our country.
“It is necessary to make limited adjustments to our nuclear policy.”
The first five-minute clip was published on Sunday and a second, longer version went online a day later.
Both were deleted Wednesday after being reposted by Communist Party officials after attracting millions of views, tens of thousands of patriotic comments as well as international attention.
Commentary by Brad Richardson: Jesus made the following statement in Matthew 24:6..And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
It seems that the world becomes a little crazier every day. We are witnessing pestilence, war, financial uncertainty and the ever increasing sightings of UFO's. If you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior then I encourage you to do so today. Please watch the video below and believe on Christ for eternal life!
California and other states across the south-west are suffering a historic drought which is bringing with it all of the obvious hardships as well as a few that are unexpected. For the Biblically minded, these natural phenomena are undoubtedly divinely inspired messages.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, the current dry spell is already outpacing the state’s devastating 2012-16 drought. Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom expanded a drought emergency to 41 California counties, covering 30% of the state’s population. To compound the problem, a heatwave swept across Southern California this month, breaking several records and heating Palm Springs to 123 degrees.
Associated Press reported last week that federal agriculture officials are launching what could become their largest grasshopper-killing campaign since the 1980s amid an outbreak of the hoppers. Grasshoppers thrive in warm, dry weather, and populations already were up last year. A 2020 survey found dense concentrations of adult grasshoppers across about 55,000 square miles in the Western US. This meant at least 15 insects per square yard in large areas of Montana, Wyoming and Oregon and portions of Idaho, Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska.
So another warm dry season this year bumped the population even more. Dry weather protects locust eggs from parasites that require moisture. The Department of Agriculture began aerial spraying of the pesticide diflubenzuron this week to kill young grasshopper nymphs. If the program is unsuccessful, authorities will resort to carbaryl and malathion, targeting the full-grown grasshoppers with the more toxic pesticides.
Unfortunately, widespread spraying of insecticides will harm other breeds of insects as well including species that eat grasshoppers. Other species, such as Monarch Butterflies, are already struggling. Spraying pesticides will also damage any organic farms in its path and affect bees which are necessary for pollination.
But if left unchecked, an outbreak of grasshoppers could consume crops and pasture intended for cattle, driving up grain and beef prices. Grasshoppers initially eat young and tender plants, move on to full-grown plants, and eventually eat the seed heads of grain plants. A typical infestation can remove 20% of forage from the range and have a $900 million impact, according to a 2012 University of Wyoming study cited by federal officials. Many farmers are insured against such damage but ranchers who graze their cattle on public lands are unprotected.
The last outbreak on this scale began in 1986 and lasted until 1988, affecting almost 20 million acres. The current outbreak is expected to peak in another two months, tapering off when the critters run out of food after having eaten everything in sight.
Locusts are a group of certain species of short-horned grasshoppers that have a swarming phase. Normally not a threat to agriculture, under suitable conditions of drought followed by rapid vegetation growth, a hormonal reaction changes the solitary grasshoppers into locusts after which they form swarms. Though the American species of grasshoppers do not undergo the hormonal change that transforms them into locusts, they do swarm and can cause great damage.
This happened in 1874 when an estimated 12.5 trillion grasshoppers flew over an area encompassing 198,000 square miles between Minnesota and the Rio Grande. The “plague” of grasshoppers took place during a severe drought, compounding the troubles of the farmers.
If the situation in the western US gets worse, it could grow to resemble the Biblical plague.
Locusts invaded all the land of Egypt and settled within all the territory of Egypt in a thick mass; never before had there been so many, nor will there ever be so many again. They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt. Exodus 10:14-15
In fact, 2020 was, by many accounts, the year of the plague of locusts .A wave of locusts swept through East Africa in 2019, returning again in 2020 in swarms estimated to be 20 times larger. The 2020 infestation was described as the worst in 70 years.
Rabbi Yosef Berger, the rabbi of King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion, noted that the threat of the plague of locusts in Egypt was directly preceded by an explanation.
“Though all of the plagues were intended to co0nvince Pharaoh to let the Jews go, this was especially true of the plague of locusts, “ Rabbi Berger said.
For if you refuse to let My people go, tomorrow I will bring locusts on your territory. Exodus 10:4
“But the plague of locusts, which finished up the last shreds of food remaining in Egypt, was also intended to convince any Jews who were reluctant to leave Egypt,” Rabbi Berger said. “We saw that even after the plagues, the Jews were nostalgic for the food of Egypt.”
“The Jews of America are complacent, too comfortable in the richness of the lifestyle,” Rabbi Berger said. “A plague of locusts would wake them up. If their normal comfort food is no longer available at the local supermarket, they may remember that God promised them a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Jewish sources predict that all of the plagues will reappear in the final Redemption but in even more powerful forms. This reload of the Egyptian plagues was prophesied by Micah.
I will show him wondrous deeds As in the days when You sallied forth from the land of Egypt. Micah 7:15
It is also written in Midrash Tanchuma, homiletic teachings collected around the fifth century, that “just as God struck the Egyptians with 10 plagues, so too He will strike the enemies of the Jewish people at the time of the Redemption.”
This concept was explained by Rabbi Bahya ben Asher, a 13th-century Spanish commentator, who wrote, “In Egypt, God used only part of His strength. When the final redemption comes, God will show much, much more of His power.”
