September 2, 2024 – Watchman River Tom-  A wild weekend in Israel! Strikes, demonstrations and funerals…

Scriptures, words from Jesus. 

These things have I spoken to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. 

He gives us peace. We have a future that’s amazing, we will be with Jesus always. 

Tom says last Friday he did what he calls a Premiere video so it has a live chat that Tom can interact. Also the others can interact with each other. Tom thinks he may do this on Fridays. 

Israel News: 

A strike, demonstrations and funerals all over Israel today. 

6 hostages were found dead in Gaza. 4 men, 2 women. The ministry of health said they were murdered in the last 2 days, shot at close range.

They were found underground in a tunnel in Rafah. Some say IDF was trying to rescue them and they were murdered. Nothing was said from the UN over this. 

Hamas, so evil, showed a video this morning of the 6 talking together as if it had been their last words.

Netanyahu calls for a powerful swift response. He told the security cabinet the government should prepare for a strong reaction within 24-48 hours. Says if they don’t they will see more such murders.

This brought mass protests, over 100,000. The biggest since October 7. They are saying they want a ceasefire deal right now. They want to overthrow the government. They foolishly think if they give into Hamas they will have a ceasefire. 

Bubba says they demanded Netanyahu close the hostage deal. At the rally in Tel Aviv protestors block the main entrance to Jerusalem for over 2 hours. Start fires. 

Bubba says either a ceasefire by the end of this week or the government could fall. Tensions building between Netanyahu and defense minister Gallant. 

Yesterday at the cabinet meeting Gallant said the hostages have no time as seen here and press not to impose constrains on the border. Netanyahu says whoever says its possible to leave the borders for 42 days knows very well it will be 42 years. Says the world understands this as well as Sinwar most of all.

Ones close to Netanyahu tell him to take advantage of the protests and fire Gallant. Lapid, former Israel PM also accuses Netanyahu and his cabinet of allowing this to happen.

Tom says still the majority of Israel is for Netanyahu. 

Some Arabs celebrating and said it only took 6 hostages to create a major turning point in Israel for a civil war. 

They say still 101 hostages in Gaza. Hezbollah and Hamas feel Israel could be driven to civil war. 

Tom says they don’t realize God’s hand is on that nation.

Reports that Israel is back to tearing itself apart. Israel’s main labor union has declared a general strike to pressure the government to hostage ceasefire deal on Hamas terms. It is noted the government has already accepted on American’s terms.

With the strike some hospitals are closed, stores and schools closing early. 

Amir says the political general strike the left tries to impose today is a huge flop. The Israeli’s don’t buy that garbage anymore. Says these despicable people don’t care about hostages. They just want Netanyahu to resign. Says its always been that way. 

From Israel foreign ministers say that Iran is building an Islamic terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria by supplying alot of money and weapons to refugee camps. Smuggled through Jordan. Intent to establish eastern terrorists front against the state of Israel. 

Yesterday at Israel checkpoint terrorists in a car with explosives were arrested on their way to carry out a powerful attack in Jerusalem. 

Sources on Syria say the Russian army has established a new observation post in Golan Heights near the border with Israel.

More rockets from Hezbollah fired to N. Israel. Some wounded. 

Iran continues to threaten Israel and also pressure from Hezbollah and other proxies to Israel.

Tom says so ready for Jesus to come get us. Says keep our eyes on Jesus as we wade through the darkness fo this world. The Gospel message shines so much brighter.

US says this is the last and final hostage ceasefire deal. After the news of the murdered hostages they still pressure the deal saying this just shows the urgency and says can’t negotiate forever. 

Sinwar’s deputy says without Israel withdraw from the Philadelphia corridor and Rafah, there is no agreement. 

China: after Japan accused China of sending military aircraft to Japan airspace now Chinese naval ships entered Japan’s territorial waters. 

Russia: Russia advances into Ukraine. Moscow fired barrage of missiles and drones into Ukraine overnight wounding some and damaging a Mosque.

Weather: Floods in Niger with 217 killed and displaced 353,000. 6.0 earthquake in New Guinea. 

Brazil Supreme Court orders X to be fully suspended in the country. Says anyone could be fined up to 8,800 dollars a day. Elon Musk comes back and says he will expose the list of crimes the judge in Brazil committed.

Ai headlines just in the last 12 hours:

On the comments today Tom is thankful for all the encouragements pointing to the Lord for the trials his family had over the weekend. 

Gospel:

Many will turn to Jesus after the rapture. So many John says he couldn’t count them. Urges, please be saved today. 

Believe in Jesus, that He came to save us by His gift of salvation. He gave His life, came to die, shed His blood to forgive all sins. Past, present and future. Believe and receive, will be saved, born again, filled with Holy Spirit and rapture ready. Be with Him in heaven forever. He loves us. Be saved today with Him in the family of God forever.
