This Day Is NOT Easy!!

Very hard day. 4 released today that are no longer alive. 2 babies and their mother and an 85 year old grandfather. Tom says we are living in the last days waiting for the rapture. Hard to see such wickedness and evil. Keep close to Jesus.

Amir says as the state of Israel receives the ones that have been killed they will exchange and give them those that murdered them. 

Bubba says Hamas is staging another terrible propaganda scene. Rows of chairs set up with thousands of Gazans watching. They will see them being transferred to Israel in coffins and to the Red Cross. Terrible evil is they locked the coffins with no key. They put a picture of each on the coffins. They will be sent to 10 forensic doctors that will look for the actual cause of death and confirm identities.

Bubba says there are very few if any, innocents in Gaza. An older video shows those who captured and killed the mother and children were civilians. Al jazera is a TV news channel that is run by Hamas. It showed today’s video and brags about it. Hamas tries to say these were killed by Israel air strikes a few months ago. And that they treated them well. 

Tom says how it must be, the suffering  for the father of the children and his wife that were killed. And also the grandparents were murdered that day.

Tom said it is inspiring that in the video there was a rainbow off in the distance. Reminds us who is really in control. The vengeance is God’s. 

69 hostages remain in captivity which 36 are thought to be dead. 33 more alive they say for part 2. 

Israel FM Gideon said he met with a released hostage that told him her captives said they will return and attack Israel again the same as October 7.

Tom is impressed and wonders about it, while the IDF received the bodies of the hostages they recited Psalm 83. 

In the comments they remind us the Bibas babies are with Jesus. Tom says in the darkness and deception we see how much even more clearly the light of the Gospel. He loves us.  

Today’s Scriptures:

Psalm 91 NKJV

*Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God*

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”

The Mighty One, will save;

He will rejoice over you with gladness,

He will quiet you with His love,

He will rejoice over you with singing.”
