THE SATANIC HEZBOLLAH ALL SET TO UNLEASH 100,000 ROCKETS AT ISRAEL!!

Hezbollah Positioning Itself in Shiite Villages, Aiming 100,000 Rockets at Israel

Lebanese terror group Hezbollah is hiding 100,000 missiles in Shiite villages in southern Lebanon, a senior Israeli intelligence official announced Wednesday, making them potential targets should hostilities with Israel renew. The official spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, in keeping with military regulations.
The official showed reporters satellite photos of what Israel believes are Hezbollah positions in dozens of villages in southern Lebanon. The media were banned from printing the images, which were covered in red markers indicating missile launchers, arms depots, underground tunnels and command posts.
As much as one third of certain villages are thought to be Hezbollah assets. Some 200 villages, the official noted, had been turned into these “military strongholds.”

The massive arsenal of rockets and advanced weapons includes thousands which could hit Tel Aviv. Some even have a range which could reach anywhere in the country. The arms mostly arrived through Syria, supplied by the war-torn country’s beleaguered government and Iran.
Should war break out and Hezbollah fire rockets on Israel, Israel’s air force would target those weapons, placing the civilians in those villages at risk. The official added that residents would be given time to evacuate.
In 2006, 1,200 Lebanese, including hundreds of civilians, and 160 Israelis were killed in a month-long war which also severely damaged Lebanese infrastructure. Although tensions remain high and could potentially erupt any time, it is thought Hezbollah has no interest in fighting Israel while it is focused on backing ally Bashar Assad in Syria.

PLEASE NOTE A CHANGE IN OUR CONFERENCE SCHEDULE FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS!

Dear Friends,

We have had to make some changes to our original conference schedule which we have previously advertised on this blog. I think it is better explained by my good friend Anne Powell who organises most of my conferences for me.  


"I gave information regarding two hotels I booked next year for Brian’s conferences.
Unfortunately the Eastbourne hotel did not have a function room, but could only offer the dining room for our meetings, so that one has been cancelled. However, I have booked the Savoy Hotel in Bournemouth from 14th-18th March. 

To have sufficient numbers to make the conference viable I have also cancelled the Bath booking. So God Willing I am trusting we might be able to continue with two conferences – the Bournemouth and Harrogate: one early in the year and the other at the end of the year in November.

It is almost certain that the Christian Endeavour Centres will close at the end of the year.

I have informed all the folk who booked the Harrogate conference last year, so I pray that we shall once again be able to meet up at the St. George Hotel 23-27 November, 2015. 

Love in Him,
Anne.

So there it is friends. The retreats booked for Eastbourne and Bath have now been cancelled, but we still have two planned at:

St George Hotel in Harrogate from 23-27 November 2015.

Savoy Hotel in Bournemouth from 14th-18th March 2016.

Maranatha Blessings,

Brian. 

YESHUA SAYS THAT ISRAEL "IS THE APPLE OF MY EYE" AS THE YOUNG JEWISH STATE CELEBRATES ITS 67TH BIRTHDAY!

New post on Now The End Begins

At 67, The Regathered Israel Remains The Gold Standard Of End Times Bible Prophecy

by Geri Ungurean

It has been 67 years today, since Israel was declared the Jewish homeland in 1948.

This was an amazing fulfillment of prophecy. The cost of bringing His people home, was a great one - six million Jews murdered by Hitler in the concentration camps of Germany. But because of the Holocaust, Israel was reborn!
“Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” Ezekiel 11:16-17  (KJV)
Satan wasted no time in wreaking havoc on God’s people. War against Israel has become a way of life. So many wars since 1948 — but the one that sticks in my mind more than the others was the 6 day war in June of 1967.
regathered-israel-at-67-remains-gold-standard-of-end-times-bible-prophecy-am-yisrael-chai
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." Matthew 24:32,33 (KJV)
Fought between Israel and Arab neighbors Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, the nations of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Algeria, and others also contributed troops and arms to the Arab forces. Following the war, the territory held by Israel expanded significantly ("The Purple Line") : The West Bank (including East Jerusalem) from Jordan, Golan Heights from Syria, Sinai and Gaza from Egypt. Israel was outnumbered and in reality should not have been victorious. But God defended His people and expanded His land. It was truly a miraculous war!
“Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.”  Isaiah 43:5-7 (KJV)
Today, Hamas, Hezbollah, and now the horrific terrorist group which calls itself ISIS, are determined to wipe Israel off the map. These groups have no idea that Israel is there to stay, because God said so! Israel will always be a nation - God’s nation. This doesn’t mean that there will not be bloodshed. But it does mean that any attempt to eradicate Israel will be futile.

Jerusalem In Breathtaking High Definition

Antisemitism is at its highest point since WWII. It is sweeping Europe, and in America, the college campuses are filled with Muslim agitators, calling for students to support a boycott of any products coming from Israel. The Muslim Brotherhoodfunds most of these Muslim hate groups. ISIS is better received on most college campuses than Israel!
As Christians, this should not surprise us in the least. Satan hates the Jewish people. He knows that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, came out of the Jewish people. Satan loves to place hatred for the Jews in hearts of people everywhere. He hates Christians and Jews.
Last year, Operation Protective Edge took place in Israel. The world watched, as Hamas sent hundreds of rockets, streaming into Israel. Praise God that Israel had Iron Dome to intercept the rockets which would have taken many lives. When Israel decided that they must take out the command centers from where the rockets were launched, Hamas decided to place women and children in these locations. After repeated warnings by PM Netanyahu for the innocent civilians to vacate these areas, Israel had no option except to go ahead with the counter attack. Many times, the Hamas leaders would say that the areas were clear of civilians, and they were not. The Palestinian people are used as pawns by Hamas, just as the PLO used them.
Most of the world, and the U.N. declared Israel to be the aggressor, and they brought charges against Israel for “Crimes against humanity.” This is so far from reality— it is truly unbelievable.
Now, with the American government talking with Iran about their quest to be a nuclear power, Israel once again sees the possibility of an attack — but this time, a nuclear attack. Our president has disdain for Israel, and doesn’t choose to hide it. When PM Netanyahu came to address our Congress, President Obama would not see or talk with him. Instead, Obama sent a group of political agitators over to Israel to interfere with the elections. Obama’s goal was to insure that PM Netanyahu would be defeated.

God had other ideas, Netanyahu not only won the election, but by a landslide!

So, here we are, 67 years after the rebirth of God’s Nation. Isn’t it amazing that we (Christians) know things about the future because our God has told us in His Word?!
We love Israel. We support Israel. Those who teach Replacement Theology are completely duped. RT is the belief that the Church replaced Israel in God’s plan and in His heart. That is a lie from the pit of hell. The Church is the Church and Israel is Israel!!
AM YISRAEL CHAI. THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LIVE!!
Shalom b’Yeshua
MARANATHA!

THE JESUIT POPE FRANCIS SIGNS A TREATY FROM THE VATICAN OFFICIALLY RECOGNISING THE STATE OF PALESTINE!!

New post on Now The End Begins

Pope Francis Signs Treaty From The Vatican Officially Recognizing The State Of Palestine

by Geoffrey Grider

The Vatican said Wednesday that it had concluded a treaty to recognize Palestinian statehood, a significant step welcomed by Palestinians but upsetting to the Israeli government.

"And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns."Revelation 17:15-17 (KJV)
EDITOR'S NOTE: Pope Francis is almost certainly the False Prophet mentioned in the book of Revelation. From a prophetic stand point, he has accomplished more in the last two years than the last 20 popes combined. And like all popes before him, he is absolutely the enemy of the state of Israel. The signing of today's treaty advances the prophecy time clock forward by a huge leap.  Achtung, Juden.
ROME — Formal recognition of a Palestinian state by the Vatican, which has deep religious interests in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories that include Christian holy sites, lends a powerful signal of moral authority and legitimacy to the efforts by the Palestinian Authority’s president, Mahmoud Abbas, to achieve statehood despite the long paralyzed Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
pope-francis-signs-treaty-from-vatican-recognizing-state-of-palestine-israel-disappointed-may-13-2015-end-times-prophecy-catholic-church
The Bilateral Commission of the Holy See and the State of Palestine at the Vatican announced Wednesday that they have reached accord on the language of the Comprehensive Agreement toward which they have been working.
Israel has grown increasingly alarmed about the increased international acceptance of Palestine as a state since the United Nations upgraded the Palestinian delegation’s status in 2012 to that of a nonmember observer state. A number of European countries have also signaled their acceptance of Palestinian statehood.
A statement from a joint commission of Vatican and Palestinian diplomatic officials, posted on the Vatican news website, said “the work of the commission on the text of the agreement has been concluded,” and that it would be submitted for formal approval and for signing “in the near future.”
Hanna Amireh, head of a Palestinian committee on church affairs, said the treaty was a broad one regarding the Vatican’s interests in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, including the standing of churches and church courts and taxes on church charities, institutions and lands, as well as other cultural and diplomatic matters. He said it had been under negotiation for about a year.
“The Vatican is the spiritual capital of the Catholics, and they are recognizing Palestine, that’s the chief importance,” said Mr. Amireh, who is also a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s executive committee. The move counters an image of Palestinians as militants or terrorists, he added, as a “recognition of the Palestinian character that has a clear message for coexistence and peace.” source

AN ATHEIST GROUP WANTS TO RID THE WORLD OF CHRISTIANITY, AND THEY ALSO STATE THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DID NOT EXIST!! GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEM!

New post on Now The End Begins

Atheist Group Wants To Rid The World Of Jesus Christ, Whom They Claim Doesn’t Exist

by Geoffrey Grider

Their mission statement is to advocate against the widespread acceptance of the story of Jesus Christ as written in the Holy Bible

"Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ." Acts 17:3 (KJV)
When Jesus walked the earth, all He did was good for other people. The Bible said that Jesus stood in the Temple and proclaimed that "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"(Isaiah 61:1 KJV). The Devil hated each and every word of that, and guess what? In 2015, he still hates it.
atheist-group-undo-jesus-says-kill-him-again
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." John 8:44 (KJV)
Atheist group Undo Jesus is on a "mission" to rid the world of Christianity, and state that they "oppose the idea that Jesus is a son of God". You really have to feel for the futility of being an atheist, spending all that time and energy trying to rid the world of someone they claim doesn't even exist. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. But that sign he's holding in the photo isn't so funny. Not at all.

"If Jesus returns, kill him again"

There is a spirit rising in the world today, a demonic spirit that hates the Bible, hates the God of Abraham, and despises the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says that Jesus knew full well what He was doing when He went to the cross. He shed His Blood for those who hated Him, paid the penalty for those who called for His execution, and forgave the ones who killed Him. He died and rose again on the 3rd day for the ones that pulled off His beard, for the ones took pleasure in seeing His agony at Calvary.

And He is coming back.

Jesus Christ is absolutely coming back, and the fine folks at UndoJesus.org are going to get the chance to kill Him again. But they are going to have to wait. Wait until after the Rapture of the Church, the rise of Antichrist, and the start of the Great Tribulation. They are going to have to wait as 100lb hailstones, on fire and dripping with blood fall from the sky like mini atom bombs.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 (KJV)
They are going to watch in open-mouth horror as judgment after judgment proceeds out of Heaven on a sin-cursed world that hates Jesus Christ. Then, the sky will break open, Jesus Christ will return with the army of His Saints on white horses, and we will return with Him to fight the battle of Armageddon.
Then they will get their chance to "kill Him again". How do you think it will turn out? This is how my Bible says it will go:
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."Revelation 1:7 (KJV)
Come on, Lord, we're waiting for you. Come get us.

GOOD ARTICLE HERE. REMEMBER THAT "CERN" IS DEDICATED TO THE HINDU GOD SHIVA . IN HEBREW THIS IS ABADDON AND IN GREEK APOLLYON........REVELATION CHAPTER NINE!!!

This "CERN'"tainly Deserves another Look - A.V. Rauf -http://bibleprophecyfortoday.com/2015/05/11/this-cerntainly-deserves-another-look/


I am piecing together a few older posts with some updated information that may be very thought provoking but should definitely be examined with a dis-CERN-ing eye.......

Dark matter accounts for more than 80 percent of the universe's mass. Some say it accounts for 95 percent of the universe's mass. We know what makes up 5 percent of the universe, which is represented by structures we can see, like the galaxies and planets and stars.

In 2010, in a tunnel underneath the Swiss-French border, 20 billion proton particles were literally "smashed" into one other at nearly the speed of light. The machine that made those collisions happen is known as the "Large Hadron Collider" or LHC.

The LHC is held in a 17-mile tunnel 300 feet under the border between Switzerland and France near Geneva. At full power, trillions of subatomic particles also referred to as protons race around the LHC ring well over 11,000 times a second. As mentioned earlier the protons zip through the tunnel at nearly the speed of light.

When the proton beams collide they generate temperatures more than 100,000 times hotter than the sun. So to keep the ring from burning up, liquid helium chills it to a cool minus 456 degrees Fahrenheit.

The LHC is run by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN. More than 10,000 scientists, engineers and technicians from 80 countries, including the United States, are involved in the experiment(s).

By smashing these particles, scientists had hoped to go back in time to what the world was like a billionth of a second after the universe was created.

One major part of this experiment included the search for the Higgs Boson, a theoretical particle that scientists believe is critical to understanding how the universe functions. The Higgs has also been called the "God Particle."

Also if you read Colossians 1:16 it states:

Colossians 1:16-For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

The Bible says that: the invisible of GOD, turns to visible form His Word in the Creation"...so could it be that when God said, "Let there be light..," then immediately what scientists aptly refer to as the Higgs boson, or the "God Particle" was created and nuclear fusion took place?

In an atomic explosion matter is turned into radiation. Fission is the breakdown of one material to make another, different material. In the process a great deal of heat and light is also released as a byproduct of that breakdown. Our universe is made of space-time, but that universe exists inside of what one might called the "physical realm."

The physical realm is separate from the other realm known as the "spiritual realm". The spiritual realm is where God exists as well as the angels, and everything else that is spiritual/supernatural. And it is from this spiritual realm that He reached out and created a new realm, the physical realm.

While parts of the scientific community are wanting to find the "God particle," others are concerned about the possibility of either creating a tear in the very fabric of space-time or a black hole that could harm the planet. In the past, these experiments were conducted with only a small fraction of the power the collider can generate.

This year the LHC is set for running at almost double the energy of the LHC's first run. This machine has firing up to generate a magnetic field that is 100,000 times more powerful than Earth's! Is it possible that the Large Hadron Collider could open a doorway to an extra dimension and out of this door might something wicked this way comes? Will people come face-to-face with this dark matter??

Scientists want to find out why we are here? What happened in the very beginning? How is it possible that life exists in this universe? They now believe that they finally have the chance to study that in the laboratory by just recreating the conditions as they were at that time. Is this work being conducted at the LHC all about the search for the truth of the universe?

In just the past two months, there have been thirteen earthquakes over 6.0 on the Richter scale. Some of these quakes were incredibly intense, especially the one which occurred in Nepal. We now know the damage was enormous and the loss of life was in the thousands. Most recently, a magnitude 7.1-7.5 rattled the island shores of Papa New Guinea, and many quakes and aftershocks are being reported in this area.

In regards to all of this recent tectonic activity, it is interesting to note that CERN in Geneva, Switzerland has recently fired up its Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator again. This occurred just before these unusual stretches of high-magnitude earthquakes began.

The LHC is the most powerful and largest particle accelerator on the planet and even Stephen Hawking has clearly warned about the damage it may cause to the planet, humanity and even the time-space continuum.

Just months after the discovery of the Higgs boson or the so-called "God Particle" in July 2012, CERN completed its first continuous run of the LHC which recorded around 5 billion collisions at an energy amount of 8 TeV (Tevatron scale). Only 400 of these collisions produced results even remotely compatible with that of the Higgs boson.

As of this year they've nearly doubled the amount of collision energy to 13 TeV. The current plan is to have the Large hadron Collider do another run for 3 years continuously and this time CERN announced that their focus is to "capture dark matter" and on "the discovery of other dimensions". 

Now here is where things get very interesting. There just may be a link between the Large Hadron Collider and seismic activity.

Each time CERN forces a collision, the residue energy causes massive magnetic vibrations within the Earth. Could this somehow be related to all of the recent quakes. Keep in mind that in 2010, mass LHC activity at CERN coincided with the 8.8 Chilean earthquake­, which was a megaquake.

That being said, is there some sort of a connection between the timing of these earthquakes and the recent power up of the Large Hadron Collider.

It is being reported that CERN is massively interfering with earth's natural magnetic balance. The Collider was active when the quake in Nepal struck and in the previous two times that CERN was active, there was an uptick in earthquakes and at the same time a previously unknown particle was discovered at CERN. 

Remember I stated in a previous post that before the Age Enlightment, Science and the Occult were together. After the Age Enlightment there was a division between the two and I believe that prior to the return of the LORD the two will unite again. I am of the impression that the powers shaping the current world events extend well beyond the physical realm. CERN is attempting to identify dark matter at the moment. Dark matter is invisible to the naked eye and is understood to be that which holds matter together. We are looking at the point in history where man intends to connect with forces which transcend science. Could it quite possibly be that those that are searching for the "God Particle" could be opening the gates of hell?

I have always perceived that as we draw closer to the return of the LORD, the veil that separates the spiritual from the natural is rapidly eroding. Perhaps soon people will know if indeed.... is there anybody out there?? Will the results ultimately lead to convincing the masses to believe in Panspermia? 

Here is an interesting sermon that may be of our conCERN:

I have always perceived that as we draw closer to the return of the LORD, the veil that separates the spiritual from the natural is rapidly eroding. Perhaps soon people will know if indeed.... is there anybody out there?? Will the results ultimately lead to convincing the masses to believe in Panspermia?

THE GREAT LANCE LAMBERT PASSES AWAY! EARTH'S LOSS IS HEAVEN'S GAIN RIGHT NOW! "WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT"!

Lance Lambert, beloved brother in the Lord, friend to multitudes in Israel and abroad, and world renowned Bible teacher has passed away. Following severe health battles in Greece late last year, Lance was again hospitalized last month in Jerusalem, Israel, where he passed away peacefully Sunday afternoon May 10, 2015.


Lance, for decades, has been known as one of the most distinguished Bible scholars and speakers in Israel and for years had an itinerant teaching ministry worldwide. He was one of the great prophetic voices of our time. Born in 1931, He grew up in Richmond, Surrey and came to know the Lord at twelve years of age. He entered the school of African and Oriental studies at London University to prepare for work in China. He studied Classical Chinese, Mandarin, Oriental Philosophy and Far Eastern History, but the revolution closed the door to European missionaries and his entry into China.

In the early 1950's Lance served in the Royal Air Force in Egypt and later founded Halford House Christian Fellowship in Richmond, England. Having discovered his Jewish ancestry Lance became an Israeli citizen in 1980 and for many years until his passing resided in Jerusalem. His father and many members of his family died in the Holocaust. He produced a widely appreciated quarterly audio recording called the Middle East Update, which gives his unique perspective on current events in the Middle East, in the light of God's Word. He wrote numerous books including The Uniqueness of Israel and is presenter of the video production, Jerusalem, the Covenant City.


Those of us who have loved and known Lance throughout the years deeply mourn his departure from our midst. At the same time, we rejoice in his gain; the Lord Yeshua face to face, the gates opened wide to an eternity of heaven, the words of the Father, "Well done, My good and faithful servant."

US Navy to accompany US, British flagged ships in Persian Gulf after Iran seizes vessel!!

U.S. Navy ships will begin to accompany U.S.- and British-flagged commercial ships as they travel the Strait of Hormuz, defense officials confirmed to Fox News, on the heels of Iran seizing a cargo ship. 

The Obama administration is closely monitoring Iran's takeover of the ship, as it involved a Marshall Islands-flagged vessel. The Marshall Islands and the U.S. have a longstanding security agreement, and officials said Thursday the two nations are in contact. 
But, in a clear response to that incident, a defense official said the U.S. Navy will now accompany all U.S.-flagged ships going through the area, from the Persian Gulf toward the Arabian Sea. Officials said the Navy will also accompany British-flagged vessels. The move is the latest development in a high-stakes chess match in the region, with the Iran nuclear talks continuing to play out in the background. 
Cmdr. Kevin Stephens, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet based in Bahrain, told Fox News that 20-25 U.S. flagged vessels transit the Strait of Hormuz each month. 
He stressed that the U.S. Navy would not be escorting the merchant vessels, but would be "accompanying" them and added, "this is not an everyday thing." 
He said each transit of the Strait of Hormuz can last several hours. Land-based Navy P-3 Orion reconnaissance planes and other air assets will also assist in the mission, he said. 
When asked how long the U.S. Navy planned to accompany U.S. flagged ships through the strait, Stephens said "we don't have an end date in mind." 
He said Secretary of Defense Ash Carter signed off on the order, which came at the recommendation of U.S. Central Command, responsible for the Persian Gulf and surrounding area. The Navy had discussed the idea of with shipping companies and "they all wanted the support," said Stephens. 
The Navy already has dispatched a guided-missile destroyer, the USS Farragut, to the region. Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said Wednesday the destroyer is "keeping an eye on things," and in close enough proximity to the seized ship that they "will be able to respond if a response is required." 
When pressed on what kind of incident aboard the ship would elicit a U.S. Navy response, he was vague, saying: "These [U.S. military] assets give commanders options." He said he didn't know "what the possibilities are," and the U.S. government is "in discussions with the Marshall Islands on the way ahead." 
Earlier this week Iranian naval vessels reportedly fired warning shots near the Marshall Islands-flagged cargo ship and detained it and its crew. Iranian officials say the Maersk shipping line owes it money. 
Maersk Line, the Danish shipper that chartered the cargo vessel, acknowledged in a written statement that the reason for stopping the ship could be related to a 2005 cargo case. 
Maersk Line spokesman Michael Storgaard said the company learned Thursday that an Iranian appeals court had ruled Maersk must pay $3.6 million for a 10-container cargo delivered a decade ago on behalf of an Iranian company in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. However, the cargo never was collected, according to Storgaard, adding it eventually was disposed of by local authorities. 
"As we do not have the details of the ruling, we are not able to comment hereon, nor at this point speculate on our options," Maersk Line said of the latest ruling. 
"Our paramount concern remains the safety of the crew and the safe release of the vessel. We will continue to do everything we can to resolve this matter with the relevant Iranian authorities." 
Storgaard told The Associated Press that the ship and crew aren't theirs. MV Maersk Tigris, operated by Rickmers Ship Management in Singapore, was boarded on Tuesday. 
Cors Radings, a spokesman for Rickmers, told Fox News that as of Thursday, there has been no change in the status of the ship and her crew, and that the company has not spoken with the crew in the past 24 hours. 
The Marshall Islands -- officially known as the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and a former U.S. trust -- enjoy "associate state" status with the United States, meaning the U.S. agrees to defend the islands, and provide economic subsidies and access to federally funded social services. The U.S. initially gained military control of the Marshall Islands from Japan in 1944. 
According to the State Department, "The security compact between the United States and the Republic of the Marshall Islands gives the U.S. authority and responsibility for security and defense matters that relate to the Marshall Islands, including matters related to vessels flying the Marshallese flag." 

Iran swings behind escalated Syrian-Hizballah anti-Israel terror offensive on the Golan!!

Iran swings behind escalated Syrian-Hizballah anti-Israel terror offensive on the Golan
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 1, 2015, 2:02 PM (IDT)
Israeli tanks on the Golan
Israeli tanks on the Golan
The Syrian and Hizballah military delegations visiting Tehran this week achieved their purpose: DEBKAfile’s intelligence and military sources report that in three days of talks up until Friday April 30, Syrian Defense Minister Gen. Fahad Jassim al-Freij procured from his Iranian counterpart Hussein Dehghan, approval for a stepped up terror campaign against Israeli forces and civilians on the Golan, to be executed by terrorist surrogates. Iran pledged its support for this campaign and promised to make the Revolutionary Guards and Afghani Shiite forces present in Syria available, in the event of an Israeli counter-attack.
A stamping ground, designated “the open area,” was to be provided for all terrorist militias willing to attack Israel. It would stretch from Damascus to the Golan – a distance of 60 km by road – and take in the Syrian Hermon and Lebanese Chebaa Farms. Syrian and Hizballah military intelligence services will take responsibility for coordinating their operations and providing them with arms and intelligence.
According to the plan approved in Tehran, Syria and Hizballah will establish new militias for their campaign as well as deploying existing terrorist groups.
One such framework, made up of Syrian Druzes, was set up in recent weeks. Its first attack last Sunday April 26 – an attempt to plant a bomb near an Israeli Golan border position - was a flop. All four bombers were killed in an Israeli air strike and the device did not detonate.
The commander of the new Druze militia is Samir Kuntar, a name familiar to Israelis as the murderer of the Haran family of Nahariya and two police officers, who got out of prison in 2008 after serving 36 years of a life sentence. Kuntar is a rare Lebanese Druze who joined Hizballah in his youth.
Our sources note that President Bashar Assad many times suggested setting up a special Syrian-Palestinian “resistance movement” for taking back the Golan, which Israel captured during Syria’s 1967 invasion and later annexed.
However, the terrorist attacks on Israel were left until now mostly to Palestinian squads created ad hoc for single operations. They were often drawn from Ahmed Jibril’s PFLP-General Command group or recruited in the Yarmuk refugee camp in Damascus.
But now, Assad and his Hizballah ally are set on a serious escalation by different tactics, DEBKAfile’s sources report. For a major terror offensive, they are building new frameworks with local recruits mustered in South Lebanon and the Syrian Golan. Some of those militiamen have been seen moving about in the Druze villages scattered over Jabal Druze and the Hermon up to the Chebaa farms.
