The United Nations Security Council agreed in an emergency session to condemn the nuclear test North Korea said it conducted and the communist nation’s launch of three short-range missiles.
“The members of the Security Council voiced their strong opposition to and condemnation” of the nuclear detonation and missile launch, Ambassador Vitaly Churkin of Russia, which holds the rotating presidency of the panel this month, told reporters after the meeting in New York.
The Security Council also demanded that North Korea fully comply with previous UN resolutions and agreed to work on a new one, Churkin said.
Ambassador Yukio Takasu of Japan, which is drafting the resolution, said it should contain “additional elements” beyond previously adopted sanctions on North Korea. He said the text should be adopted by the Security Council “as early as possible.”…more…

‘Turning Point 3′ exercise to be launched next Sunday with ‘battle in Gaza’, shifting to ‘war’ in northern Israel. Forces to also practice uprising by Israel’s Arabs. PM Netanyahu: It’s just a routine drill.
Israel’s most extensive nationwide drill will be launched next Sunday with a “battle in Gaza”, spreading into a “war” in northern Israel as well. In addition, the forces will practice a scenario of uprising and rioting by Israel’s Arabs.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempted to convey a calming message to Israel’s neighboring countries during Sunday’s cabinet meeting, saying that “this is a routine drill, which was planned several months ago and is held every year in order to coordinate between civil and military systems.”…more…
Israel’s Importance, Salvation’s Preeminence
bible-prophecy-today.blogspot.com
Stage setting for fulfillment of Bible prophecy is in fast forward. It is easy for the Christian who views daily headlines through the prism of God’s prophetic Word to become all but totally immersed in the shock and awe of the prolific signals bursting hourly around us. As a matter of fact, because of the overwhelming signs of the times, one can become desensitized to some aspects of the end-times stage setting. For example, we’ve for so long been watching peace overtures in the Middle East – overtures with Israel smack in the center of the process — that even the most attentive watchman can forget just how profound is the matter.
Many of us watched Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his “shuttle diplomacy,” then secretaries of state under Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, and Bush 2 work for peace between Israel and her blood-vowed enemies. We have, in some cases, become numb to the astonishing fact that here we are, just where God’s prophetic Word says the end-times generation will be. Israel is at the center of fears that thermonuclear war might be triggered at any moment. The world of diplomacy is crying “peace and safety,” the very thing that will bring Antichrist to the forefront and destruction that will surely follow…more…

The upcoming home front drill, Turning Point 3, is based a scenario in which “a combined missile and rocket attack on Israel from all sides combined with terror attacks from within,” and is “not a fictional scenario,”, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilan’i told members of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday.
Vilna’i briefed the committee on the state-wide drill, scheduled to begin on May 31. The threat of missiles hitting mainland Israel “is not unrealistic,” Vilna’i continued. “If a war breaks out, that is probably what would happen.”
According to Vilna’i, “In conducting this national home front drill we aren’t looking to scare anyone, but rather prepare ourselves for a threat which has its writing on the wall.”…more…

Iran has sent six warships to international waters, including the Gulf of Aden, to show its ability to confront any foreign threats, its naval commander said on Monday.
Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, quoted by the ISNA news agency, made the announcement five days after Iran said it test-fired a surface-to-surface missile with a range of 2,000 km (1,200 miles), putting Israel and U.S. bases in the area within reach.
Iran said on May 14 it had sent two warships to the Gulf of Aden to protect oil tankers from the world’s fifth-largest crude exporter against attacks by pirates but ISNA did not make clear whether they were among the six Sayyari talked about.
“Iran has dispatched six … warships to international waters and the Gulf of Aden region in an historically unprecedented move by the Iranian Navy,” Sayyari told a gathering of armed forces officials, IRNA reported…more…
