Beginning on page 322 of my latest book edition, I discuss new information regarding the identity of Magog and the Ezekiel 38 War- it is a must read!
I have to confess this is one time I agree with news coming from the Middle East. I found myself laughing at the report below about Obama but the fact is it’s true what they say in the video. In the book of Daniel God shows Daniel the world empires from Iran’s kingdom all the way to the revived Roman Empire. When you read Daniel you have to take note that there is no mention of the United States. Now we know why. Since Obama has taken office he has weakened the U.S. like no other President and, is still tearing America apart piece by piece. He has cut the military, fired most of the top brass in the military, and he has turned America’s back on Israel while cowing up to Iran who is still calling for the destruction of Israel and America. Now I ask you why Daniel didn’t write anything about the nation who is suppose to be the mightiest nation in the world the good old USA? The answer appears to be the because our leader has done so much damage that America is weakened to the point she won’t be much influence on the world stage in the last days. You think it bad now? Stay tuned with Obama at the helm you haven’t seen anything yet!
Headline: IAF Strikes Terrorist Infrastructures in Gaza
IAF aircraft on Wednesday morning struck four terrorist infrastructures in southern Gaza the IDF Spokesperson said. Direct hits at the targets were identified, said the statement. The airstrike came in response to the rocket attack on southern Israel on Tuesday evening. “The IDF views the incident gravely, the Hamas terrorist organization is responsible” for any attacks on southern Israel, the statement added. Air raid sirens sounded in towns across southern Israel Tuesday evening at 9:02 p.m, as the IDF confirmed that at least one Grad rocket fired from Gaza struck near the community of Gan Yavneh, near Ashdod. Some residents of the south reported seeing Iron Dome missile defense batteries deploying to intercept at least one incoming rocket. Sirens were heard in Ashdod, Ashkelon and in numerous towns and villages in the Lachish and Hof Ashkelon regions close to Gaza. No injuries were reported. Following the attack there were reports that Hamas was evacuating its headquarters in Gaza in fear of an IDF airstrike response.

Headline: IDF Drill Prepares for Terror Surge in Judea and Samaria
The same day that Gaza terrorists fired rockets at Israel, with a Grad rocket striking near Ashdod, a wide-reaching logistical drill was held on Tuesday by the IDF’s Central Command to prepare for multiple security incidents occurring simultaneously. Lt. Col. Oren Asado, head of the Central Command’s logistic branch, spoke about the importance of the drill which was held by the Judea and Samaria division. “If in the large drill held by the IDF around two months ago the focus of the training was on mobilizing the forces and on an operational response, in the drill held yesterday, the entire logistical branch of the command was tested,” said Asdo. He explained that the drill involved “the mobility of thousands of fighters on roads which likely will be the focus of riots and breaches of public order.” Describing the challenge, he noted it involved “controlling hostile village spaces while providing a logistical response to transferring equipment, food, and water both to the population and to the fighters, all while under riots, gunfire, firebombs and more.” Both reserve forces, which are meant to provide the best and most immediate response to mass breaches of public order, as well as soldiers in mandatory and professional service took part in the drill.

Headline: Amnesty report: Hamas committed war crimes against Gaza civilians
Amnesty International said in a report on Wednesday that Gaza’s dominant Islamist Hamas committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians in the territory alleged to have collaborated with the enemy during last year’s war with Israel. A ceasefire last August ended 50 days of fighting between Gaza militants and Israel in which health officials said more than 2,100 Palestinians, mostly civilians, were killed. Israel put the number of its dead at 67 soldiers and six civilians. “Hamas forces carried out a brutal campaign of abductions, torture and unlawful killings against Palestinians accused of ‘collaborating’ with Israel and others during Israel’s military offensive against Gaza,” London-based Amnesty’s report said.
A statement by Hamas denied involvement in the actions described by Amnesty, saying that rival Gaza families had taken part in “revenge attacks”. Earlier, a Hamas spokesman criticised the report as being unfair, unprofessional and not credible.

Headline: Netanyahu calls for West Bank talks
For the first time, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called for peace negotiations over Jewish settlements in the West Bank. His focus would be on identifying which of the settlements in the Palestinian-occupied West Bank could be kept and expanded, an Israeli official said Tuesday. The settlements for Jewish residents are regarded as violations of international law by many countries. Since his re-election earlier this year Netanyahu has faced criticism from the United States and the European Union for his reluctance to renew peace talks with the Palestinians, as well as criticism for continuing to build settlements on disputed land. Arranging an understanding on the issue of settlements could maintain the pace of construction without angering Western allies or hard-liners within Netanyahu’s government. The Israeli official said Netanyahu, speaking Wednesday with EU foreign policy chief Frederica Mogherini in Jerusalem, offered to keep some West Bank territory captured in a 1967 war, and leave other parts under Palestinian control. A Western diplomat commented, “Up until now, Netanyahu has refused to put any maps on the table, so in that respect it (the offer to Mogherini) was quite substantial. He was talking about borders in one way or another, even if it was based around the acceptance of existing settlement blocs.”

Headline: March for free Quds
Activists have organised a flotilla to Gaza in an ongoing bid to break the siege on the Strip, which will enter its ninth year next month. The Freedom Flotilla III, which will be made up of at least three ships, has planned its course to be in the Mediterranean waters in the second half of June. The Ship to Gaza organisation in Europe has teamed up with the international Freedom Flotilla and is calling for an immediate end to the naval blockade of Gaza, the opening of the Gaza Port, and for a secure passage for Palestinians between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. This is the third time a flotilla will embark on a journey to break the siege of Gaza. Around 50 people from 20 different countries will be on board the Freedom Flotilla. Meanwhile, “March For Free Quds” is going to happen in order to commemorate the 5th year of Israel’s attack on Mavi Marmara flagship of Gaza Freedom Flotilla. IHH is going to organize “March for Free Quds” on 31st May 2015 at 17.00 that will start from Fatih Mosque toward Edirnekapı Martyr’s Cemetery where those killed in Mavi Marmara are buried. Gaza Freedom Flotilla organizers and participants will voice out their message to the world in the march for free Quds where the families and loved ones, representatives from national and international NGOs as well as human rights groups, community leaders, artists, journalists, local and foreign activists, Palestinian orphans and their families as well as the friends of Palestine will be in attendance.

Lebanon
Headline: Hezbollah strike Qalamoun jihadis with help of drone
A Hezbollah missile annihilated a group of at least three Islamist militants in Syria’s Qalamoun region along the border with Lebanon Wednesday after being spotted by a drone, Al-Manar reported. “All members of a group of Nusra takfiri [militants] were killed in an ambush by the resistance” between the outskirts of the Lebanese towns of Arsal and Nahleh on the Syrian side of the border, the Hezbollah-run channel said. It said the jihadi group was planning to carry out a “terrorist attack” from quarries south of Arsal. But the station later aired drone footage showing missiles striking a militant vehicle and operations room with pinpoint accuracy. The HiDef video showed three militants exiting a white SUV and running toward a nearby operations room. The video then cuts to show a missile striking the operations room with one militant standing just outside, and the other two believed to be inside. The blast obliterated the structure, sending its roof launching into the air. It was unclear if other militants were already in the room when it was bombed. The video also showed the group targeting a black military vehicle. The report did not say if anyone was inside the vehicle when it was targeted. After the operation, Hezbollah fighter engaged in “fierce clashes” with the jihadis and killed “all of them,” Al-Manar said, showing footage of the battle. The channel said the group belonged to Nusra’s Ghuraba Brigade, adding that a field commander was among those killed. The report comes one day after a security source revealed that six Hezbollah fighters were killed in Qalamoun as they attempted to take the Tallaja hilltop from Nusra militants earlier this week. The source said they were killed in sniper fire Monday.

Headline: Bomb blast kills senior police officer in Egypt’s Sinai, home to an Islamic State affiliate
Egypt’s Interior Ministry says a roadside bomb has killed a senior police officer in the northwestern region of the Sinai Peninsula, home of the country’s Islamic State affiliate. In a statement Wednesday, the ministry says Brig. Gen. Ahmed Ibrahim, who was deputy head of criminal investigations in Egypt’s North Sinai province, was killed on his way back from a joint police and army raid in el-Arish, the provincial capital. The ministry added that a second officer was wounded, without elaborating. The long-restive northwestern region of Sinai has seen a spike in attacks targeting security forces since the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013. A local Islamic militant group has pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State group’s leader, turning it into an affiliate of the group.

Syria Headline: Islamic State shoots dead 20 in Palmyra amphitheatre: monitor
Syrian regime strikes against ISIS in and around the ancient city of Palmyra have failed to halt their advance towards Damascus, a monitor said on Sunday. The intense strikes came after the fall of Palmyra, named Tadmor in Arabic, to the militants last week. But so far, the strikes had failed to halt the militants, who advanced towards the capital Damascus and overran major phosphate mines about 70 kilometers south of Palmyra. “ISIS has made further progress on the Tadmor-Damascus highway and grabbed the Khnaifess phosphate mines and nearby houses,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of sources on the group for its reports.

Syria Headline: The Regime’s Military Capabilities
On May 24, the regime-appointed governor of Homs Province Talal Barazi claimed that regime forces are preparing for a counteroffensive targeting the strategic city of Palmyra after its fall to ISIS on May 20. However, clear indications of a military mobilization have yet to materialize and it remains unclear whether the Assad regime possesses sufficient combat reserves to significantly reverse ISIS’s recent gains. Regime forces are spread thin throughout the country, forcing Assad to rely upon a small number of trusted elite units and deployable paramilitary fighters – the same composition of forces allegedly participating in the operation to retake Palmyra – to react to emergent threats. The Assad regime suffers from several limitations which have had a severe impact upon its military strategy. Regime forces operated under shortages of quality manpower due to desertion, defection, and combat attrition. Consequently, the Assad regime relied upon a constellation of regular and irregular forces throughout 2014 in order to prosecute its offensive campaign and defend its core interests against the Syrian opposition and other threats, including ISIS.

Syria Headline: Assad pulls air force out of Deir ez-Zour, the third Syrian air base surrendered to ISIS
Just a week after losing the big Palmyra air base to the Islamic State – and with it large stocks of ammo and military equipment – Syrian military and air units Wednesday, May 27, began pulling out of the big air base at Deir ez-Zour. This was Bashar Assad’s last military stronghold in eastern Syria and the last air facility for enabling fighter-bombers to strike ISIS forces in northeastern Syria and the western Iraqi province of Anbar. His surrender of the Deir ez-Zour base is evidence that the Syrian president has run out of fighting strength for defending both his front lines and his air bases. He is also too tied down to be able to transfer reinforcements from front to front. He is therefore pulling in the remnants of his army from across the country for the defense of the capital, Damascus. debkafile’s military sources report that the Islamic State now has in its sights the Syrian army’s biggest air facility, T4 Airbase, which is located on the fast highway linking Homs with Damascus 140 km away. It is home base for the bulk of the air force’s fighters and bombers. In its hangars are an estimated 32 MiG-25 fighters, as well as smaller numbers of MiG-25PDS interceptors, designed for combat with the Israeli air force, MiG-25RBT bombers-cum-surveillance planes; MiG-25PU trainers, which are routinely used to strike rebel forces in crowded built-up areas, and advanced MiG-29SM fighter jets. Stationed there too are 20 advanced Su-24M2 bombers, the strategic backbone of the Syrian air force. T4 Airbase also holds the largest Syrian stocks of guided bombs, air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. In the last few hours, air crews have been frantically removing these warplanes from T4 and distributing them among smaller bases in central Syria, at the cost of their operational effectiveness.

Iraq Headline: Fighting, airstrikes reported near Ramadi as Iraq launches operation to retake city
A major military operation in Iraq to retake the Islamic State-held city of Ramadi was under way Tuesday, as fighting and airstrikes were reported west and south of the city. “Shaping” operations ahead of the counteroffensive began Tuesday, in the form of air strikes, artillery and rocket barrages to rush ISIS out of Ramadi, the Pentagon confirmed. Pentagon Spokesman Col. Steve Warren said they welcomed the news of the counteroffensive. A spokesman for Iraq’s Shiite militias said Tuesday the operation would “not last for a long time” and that Iraqi forces have surrounded Ramadi from three sides, according to The Associated Press. The Pentagon could not confirm reports that Iraqi security forces had surrounded Ramadi. Warren said Iraqi security forces and Shia militias have staged 20 miles east of Ramadi in the town of Habbaniyah.

Iraq Headline: Islamic State launches wave of suicide attacks on Iraqi troops
Islamic State jihadists have unleashed a wave of suicide attacks targeting pro-government troops in western Anbar, a day after Baghdad launched a new offensive to drive them from the province. Up to 17 soldiers were killed in the explosions that took place outside of Fallujah, a town controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant inside the Sunni heartland Anbar. Brigadier General Saad Maan Ibrahim, the spokesman for the Joint Military Command said on Wednesday that the militants had struck near a water control station and a lock system on a canal between Lake Tharthar and the Euphrates River. The troops had been deployed there as part of a new push to try to take Anbar, after the Iraqi army suffered its biggest military defeat there this year in the loss of Ramadi city earlier this month. Brig Gen Ibrahim added that the Islamic State extremists used a sandstorm that engulfed most of Iraq on Tuesday night to launch the deadly wave of bombings. He said it was not clear how many suicide attackers were involved in the bombings but they hit the military from multiple directions. The attacks took place just hours after the ministry of defence announced the new mission.

Headline: ISIS Shows Off A New Potential Source Of Funding
ISIS is touting its newfound control of giant phosphate mines in Syria as the latest multi-million dollar funding source for its activities around the world. The Khnaifess mines, which sit along the main highway between Damascus and Palymra, the ancient city overrun by ISIS last week, are the second largest phosphate mines in the country. Syria has some of the largest reserves in the world, in normal times they produced around $60 million in revenue a year. The Damascus propaganda branch of the Islamic State has published a series of photos of the phosphate mines as the latest example of its growing power. It is unclear if ISIS has the required logistics and expertise to operate the mines, let alone export the phosphate, given that a significant percentage of Syria’s phosphates is bought by the EU. Syria is among the world’s largest exporters of the rock, but the war has marred its ability to mine and market its supply. ISIS has sold oil and antiquities on the black market and relies on those sales, along with protection money and local taxes to fund its system. ISIS has in the past advertized for engineers to come work on the refineries it has captured, in some cases offering salaries starting at $200,000.

A recent survey conducted in Turkey revealed that Turks believe Israel and the U.S. pose the biggest threats to their country, Turkish publication Today’s Zaman reported on Wednesday. İstanbul’s Kadir Has University polled 1,000 people in April across Turkish cities. When asked which country they see as the biggest threat to Turkey, 42.6 percent of respondents said Israel while 35.3 percent said the U.S. The same countries received 37.1 and 41.7 disapproval rates, respectively, during the same survey in 2013. Following Israel and the U.S. was Syria with 22.1 percent and Armenia with 20.3 percent. Although Turkey is a candidate for membership to the European Union, 10.2 percent of respondents said EU countries are a threat to Turkey, Today’s Zaman reported. which was slightly less than 12.8 percent in 2013. When respondents were asked whether they want Turkey to become an EU member, 42.4 percent said yes and over 20 percent were undecided, a decline from the 47.5 percent who supported EU membership in the 2013.

Headline: France warns Iran over nuclear deal as deadline nears
France warned on Wednesday it was ready to block a final deal between Iran and the six major powers on Iran’s nuclear program unless Tehran provided inspectors access to all installations, including military sites. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, last week ruled out international inspection of Iran’s military sites or access to nuclear scientists under any agreement. Iran’s military leaders echoed his remarks. “France will not accept (a deal) if it is not clear that inspections can be done at all Iranian installations, including military sites,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told lawmakers in Paris. As talks resumed in Vienna on Wednesday to bridge gaps in negotiating positions before a June 30 deadline, the United States said it was not considering an extension, despite comments from France and Iran indicating wiggle room. “We’re not contemplating any extension beyond June 30,” State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke told reporters in Washington, saying the United States believed it was possible to meet the self-imposed deadline.

Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said the guesthouse was owned by a prominent Afghan political family that includes Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani. The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack after it ended and said numerous “invaders” had been killed, although it often makes exaggerated claims about casualties in attacks against Afghan government and foreign targets.

Prior to the attack, he said armed men who had been protesting outside a session of the Tobruk government’s House of Representatives tried to storm the building, firing shots into the air and demanding al-Thinni be removed from office. They were “threatening to kill the prime minister and force the House to sack him,” Said said. He identified the men as being funded by “corrupted political financiers” linked to powerful Tobruk tribal leaders, without elaborating.

Al Shabaab gunmen attacked Kenyan police vehicles near Somalia’s border, injuring at least five officers and burning five cars, police said on Tuesday. Two officers were critically injured and three others sustained minor injuries in the attack in Garissa County, national Police Chief J.K. Boinnet said in a statement. Garissa police commander Shadrack Maithya said at least 13 police officers who went missing during the attack have been accounted for. Two of the attackers were killed, he said. The interior ministry said no police officials were killed, dismissing earlier accounts by two officials that several missing colleagues were believed to have been killed. Kenya’s Daily Nation newspaper reported that at least 20 police officers were feared dead. Police later said that in the confusion of the attacks that the worst was feared. The injured officers were part of team of more than 20 officers traveling in three pick-up trucks to recover a firearm lost by one officer whose car had hit a land mine. Boinnet said there was a heavy exchange of gunfire with the Islamic militants. Al Shabaab, a Somali extremist group with links to Al Qaeda, said on its radio station that it carried out the attack.

Headline: Ukraine Crisis Update: Institute for the Study of War
Russia’s army is massing troops and hundreds of pieces of weaponry including mobile rocket launchers, tanks and artillery at a makeshift base near the border with Ukraine, a Reuters reporter saw this week. Many of the vehicles have number plates and identifying marks removed while many of the servicemen had taken insignia off their fatigues. As such, they match the appearance of some of the forces spotted in eastern Ukraine, which Kiev and its Western allies allege are covert Russian detachments. The scene at the base on the Kuzminsky firing range, around 50 km (30 miles) from the border, offers some of the clearest evidence to date of what appeared to be a concerted Russian military build-up in the area. Earlier this month, NATO military commander General Philip Breedlove said he believed the separatists were taking advantage of a ceasefire that came into force in February to re-arm and prepare for a new offensive. However, he gave no specifics. Russia denies that its military is involved in the conflict in Ukraine’s east, where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting forces loyal to the pro-Western government in Kiev.

Headline: Report: Iran Summons Saudi Envoy Over Yemen Strike
Headline: The ISIS Regional Strategy for Yemen and Saudi Arabia
Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency says the Foreign Ministry has summoned Saudi Arabia’s envoy over an airstrike near Tehran’s embassy in Yemen. It says Iran warned the Saudi charge d’affaires late Monday against any violations of the diplomatic immunity of embassy staff and facilities. Meanwhile, The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham conducted two major bombings on Shia mosques in the Arabian Peninsula today through its affiliates in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. ISIS Claimed responsibility for an IED explosion that injured at least 13 Shia worshippers during Friday prayers in the al Sayyah Mosque in Sana’a, Yemen. ISIS also claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on the Shia Imam Ali mosque in al-Qadeeh in the Shi’a Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. This latter attack killed at least 20 individuals and wounding dozens more. In statements circulated by ISIS’s supporters on Twitter after the attacks, ISIS reportedly asserted that it would “expel all the unbelievers from the Arabian Peninsula.” ISIS’s threat to Saudi Arabia is not new. ISIS declared its intent to attack both Saudi Arabia and Yemen in late 2014. Over the course of this year, I SIS has escalated its activities in both countries in order to increase regional disorder and undermine the Saudi-led Arab coalition. Today’s two attacks were possibly coordinated, reflecting an acceleration in an ongoing campaign by ISIS to destabilize Saudi Arabia and gain power in Yemen.

Headline: Yemen Fighters Loyal to Government Take Dhale
Fighters backing Yemen’s exiled government captured a city on the road to the port city of Aden, officials said Tuesday, their first significant victory since a Saudi-led coalition began targeting Shiite rebels in airstrikes. The fighters took Dhale, a significant gain as the city is home to the command center of the 33rd Armored Brigade, the country’s largest army unit that had been loyal to former Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh has backed the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, in their campaign across Yemen that began in September. Government-allied fighters seized tanks, rocket launchers and ammunition caches from the base at Dhale, some 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Aden, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists. Footage from Dhale aired on the Saudi-funded Al-Arabiya satellite news network showed fighters in one armored vehicle flying the flag of once-independent South Yemen.

Headline: Arab forces strike Houthi-held Yemen military port Arab warplanes and ships bombed Yemen’s largest military port in the Red Sea city of Hodaida on Wednesday, a local official said, in the most serious attack on the country’s navy in over two months of war. The city and its military bases are aligned with the Iran-allied Houthi militia, Yemen’s dominant force, which a Saudi-led coalition has bombed since March 26 to try to reverse an expansion of Houthi power across the country in recent months. “The naval base was bombed by aircraft and ships. Large parts of it were destroyed and two warships were hit, and one of them, named Bilqis, was destroyed and sank onto its side, and five gunboats shelled the administrative buildings of the base,” the official told Reuters by telephone from the city. Residents of the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa reported air strikes on military camps loyal to the group on Wednesday. Houthi forces shelled the southern city of Aden, a bastion of resistance against their advances into Yemen’s south, and local fighters built on gains against the Houthis in recent days by seizing their last military post in the nearby city of Dalea.

Headline: HSBC fears world recession with no lifeboats left
The world is sinking under too much debt and an ageing global population means countries’ debt piles are in danger of growing out of control, the European chief executive of Goldman Sachs Asset Management has warned. Andrew Wilson, head of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said growing debt piles around the world posed one of the biggest threats to the global economy. “There is too much debt and this represents a risk to economies. Consequently, there is a clear need to generate growth to work that debt off but, as demographics change, new ways of thinking at a policy level are required to do this,” he said. “The demographics in most major economies – including the US, in Europe and Japan – are a major issue – and present us with the question of how we are going to pay down the huge debt burden. With life expectancy increasing rapidly, we no longer have the young, working populations required to sustain a debt-driven economic model in the same way as we’ve managed to do in the past.”

May 27, 2015 – Mysterious Disease Threatens Australian Turtle with Immediate Extinction
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/mysterious-disease-threatens-turtle/
Wars & Rumors of Wars Matthew 24:6 , Revelation 6:3-4 & Revelation 6:8 “ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword. Prophecy Sign: Weapons of Mass Destruction Zechariah 14:12 “And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”
Headline: Japan to join U.S., Australia war games amid growing China tensions
Headline: Chinese navy to focus on ‘open seas’, paper says
Japan will join a major U.S.-Australian military exercise for the first time in a sign of growing security links between the three countries as tensions fester over China’s island building in the South China Sea. While only 40 Japanese officers and soldiers will take part in drills involving 30,000 U.S. and Australian troops in early July, experts said the move showed how Washington wanted to foster cooperation among its security allies in Asia. The Talisman Sabre biennial exercises, to be held in locations around Australia, will encompass maritime operations, amphibious landings, special forces tactics and urban warfare. “I think the U.S. is trying to get its allies to do more,” said Euan Graham, director of the International Security Program at the Lowy Institute in Sydney. “There is an obvious symmetry between Japan as the upper anchor of the Western Pacific alliance and … Australia as the southern anchor.” All three nations have said they were concerned about freedom of movement through the seas and air in the disputed South China Sea, where China is creating seven artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago, a vital shipping corridor. Meanwhile, China is to focus on projecting its military presence beyond its borders at sea, according to a strategy document. The navy will shift its focus to “open seas protection”, rather than “offshore waters defence” alone.

Headline: 2 pastors in Sudan face death over Christian faith
Two Christian pastors from South Sudan who traveled north to Sudan and were arrested on charges of spying could face the death penalty when their trial begins next week, according to their attorneys. Yat Michael Ruot and Peter Yein Reith, both Presbyterian pastors from the breakaway Christian nation of South Sudan, are being held by Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services on charges of undermining the constitution and espionage. Their supporters say their arrest and pending trial is just the latest effort by the militant Islamist government in Khartoum to stamp out Christianity. “I’m fearful that they will execute these pastors for practicing their faith,” said David Curry, CEO of Open Doors USA, a group dedicated to advocating for the victims of Christian persecution. The pair also was charged with “inciting organized groups” and “offending Islamic beliefs,” which call for imprisonment. The trial was set to begin Tuesday, but was postponed to May 31.

Headline: Marine Court-Martialed for Refusing to Remove Bible Verse
A United States Marine was convicted at a court-martial for refusing to remove a Bible verse on her computer – a verse of Scripture the military determined “could easily be seen as contrary to good order and discipline.” The plight of Lance Corporal Monifa Sterling seems unbelievable – a member of the Armed Forces criminally prosecuted for displaying a slightly altered passage of Scripture from the Old Testament: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” Sterling, who represented herself at trial, was convicted February 1, 2014 in a court-martial at Camp Lejune, North Carolina after she refused to obey orders from a staff sergeant to remove the Bible verses from her desk. She was found guilty of failing to go to her appointed place of duty, disrespect toward a superior commissioned officer, and four specifications of disobeying the lawful order of a noncommissioned officer. Both lower court and the appellate court ruled that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act did not apply to her case because displaying a Bible verse does not constitute religious exercise.

Headline: Wolf volcano erupts on Galapagos island
On Monday, the Wolf volcano on Isabela Island erupted for the first time in 33 years, spewing fire, smoke and lava. Experts say the eruption poses no risk to people living on the island. The island holds the world’s only population of pink iguanas but authorities say that they are not in immediate danger. The Galapagos National park said that the lava was flowing in a south-westerly direction. The volcano lies on the northern tip of Isabela Island, the archipelago’s largest. It is 115km (70 miles) from Puerto Villamil, the only population centre on the island. “The eruption generated a very large column of smoke that rose more than 10km (six miles) into the air, and later drifted toward the south-west part of the volcano,” Sandro Vaca of Ecuador’s Geophysics Institute told the AFP news agency.

Hi Frank: In my early twenties I messed around with the same board you mentioned, (this was before I became a believer). After touching this board things changed, a fear of death haunted me until I accepted the Lord into my life around 15 years later. One night just after touching the board I was awoken by what seemed the screaming of multitude of demons and while this was happening I felt what seemed something inside my head slowly covering my brain. All this because of a little fun.
