Greetings friends! As you may have already read, for the first time in five years, the government of North Korea has fired a medium-range ICBM over the islands of Japan. In fact, the missile landed in the northwestern Pacific Ocean approximately 1,864 miles to the east of Japan. This provocative move by the government of Kim Jong-un — the first such launch since two similar firings in 2017 — comes shortly after South Korea, Japan and the USA conducted military drills in the Sea of Japan, to the east of North Korea. Apparently, Kim Jong-un couldn’t resist showing a little bravado.

One important point which I have mentioned to my friends before, is the fact that the missile fired on October 4, 2022 had sufficient range to reach Guam. Of course, the fact that North Korean ICBMs can reach us is something we here on Guam have known for a long time. We are in range of North Korean missiles. In fact, Kim Jong-un has threatened us before during the Trump years, and even before that.

To put this in perspective for you, I am including two maps with this blog post which show the flight path of the 10-04-2022 missile launch, and the location of Guam and the other Mariana Islands in the northwest Pacific Ocean. If you cannot see both maps on the social network where this message has been posted, please visit my original blog post on the Bill’s Bible Basics Blog at the following URL:

While this North Korean threat is a reality for the people of the Mariana Islands, it is something which I personally do not worry about. I don’t live in fear of it. I trust God for my life, and leave it in His hands to determine when it is my time to leave this present life. Until then, I will continue to do what I have been doing for the past fifty years: preaching the Word of God. For anyone who may be fearful, I encourage you to study the following KJV Bible Verse Lists:

SPILLED MILK

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

03-26-2019

Haven’t we already had enough,
Of the Democrats and their ilk?
So they lost the 2016 election,
Yet they cry over spilled milk.

Oh they are all such sore losers,
Throwing their tantrums everyday,
They reject the election results,
If they’d won, nothing they’d say.

But because Hillary was pounded,
They just whine, moan and groan,
Digging up their imaginary dirt,
They all have such a hateful tone.

They insist they respect the law,
Yet mob rule is on their mind,
They think that we don’t see it,
But we’re not so stupid or blind.

You see, we know the true score,
Why they want to bring Trump down,
It’s about a conservative justice,
So let’s get Trump out of DC town.

Electoral college they don’t like,
One man one vote suits them fine,
They’re out to destroy the system,
They have really crossed the line.

I’m so sick of their dirty tactics,
What an embarrassment to our land,
The level of their treacheries,
Has just really gotten out of hand.

So let those mean fools carry on,
With their screams and their lies,
Their hypocrisy is now so evident,
To any honest person with open eyes.

Let them commit political suicide,
I honestly do not give a hoot,
If they are really that stupid.
Let them in their own heads shoot.

DOCTRINAL DEBATES II

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

02-02-2018

Let me tell you that Satan is so smart,
He knew just how to get in our midst,
You see, some six thousand years ago,
God’s Word he began to wrest and twist.

Eve was that serpent’s very first victim,
But that gal was definitely not his last,
The Bible says during the First Century,
Killing false doctrines was a hard task.

Today the situation is even more tragic,
As brethren fight to prove they’re right,
So many have forgotten all about love,
But sly Satan, oh he stays out of sight.

He’s just so happy to see the division,
Because a divided Church is so weak,
Please take heed to this my warning,
Ask God to keep you humble and meek.

Yes, be persuaded in your own mind,
As we’re advised to do by Apostle Paul,
But regarding those doctrinal debates,
Be wise and don’t engage in them at all.

PROMISES, PROMISES

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

08-14-2024

Have you ever stopped to notice,
How those politicians operate?
Pledging to keep their promises,
But not until some future date.

“Vote for me!” they like to shout,
And I will surely get the job done,
But after they have won election,
The promises kept are not a one.

And yet the strangest thing of all,
Is that when promises are made,
They already have a federal job,
And they’re being quite well paid.

So the real question we must ask.
Is why they promise so far ahead,
Shouldn’t they fix problems now,
Before so many are already dead?

Thus the key point I want to make,
Is the folly of trusting in such men,
If they don’t resolve issues today,
Why even trust them to do it then?

BLIND NATION

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

08-19-2024

Well some people still don’t get it,
Regardless of how much I’ve said,
I just strive to tell them the truth,
But they can’t get it in their head.

Putting so much faith in leaders,
Thinking politics will heal our land.
But the actual problem is spiritual,
And it has gotten very out of hand.

We see defiance against the Lord,
It is in every place where we look,
God’s truth is cast to the ground,
They just don’t like His holy Book.

Yet if we forsake our own Creator,
It is certain we will not do so well,
The Bible makes the truth so clear,
The wicked will be turned into hell.

Is that not now what we’re seeing,
As that old Devil has his vile way,
Gross sin all across this country,
If we refuse to repent we will pay.
