NOTES: Tom suggests have hot black tea and sweet and sour chicken and hang out with an old friend and a fellow servant of the Lord.

Tom is thankful for the prayers yesterday. Says he is doing better, ears are better and not the dizziness. 

Tom say more quiet on the news today. Wonders if that is what we may expect the day of the rapture. Or, maybe there will be a lull and then it happens quick.

Tells a story of how we have heroes in our lives growing up. As we get older the heroes get smaller and smaller and are now nothing. Jesus gets bigger and bigger and see it’s not all about this stuff, the world, but Jesus. The more we trust Him, He’s our everything, all we need.

The world is darker, the love of many grows cold. Waiting for the rapture. These things show us that is where it is leading. 

Tom reads  Scriptures of comfort and encouragement. 

Like Isaiah 51: 12, about His comfort and to not be afraid. Revelation 7: 16-17 how God wipes away every tear. Can’t wait for that day. Psalm 121: 1-2 our help comes from the One who made heaven and earth. Spoke and everything was created. 

Psalm 23: 4 even though I walk through the valley, He is with me, His rod and staff comforts me. John 14: 27 we need not be afraid, we have the peace of Jesus. Luke 12: 6-7 God cares for the sparrow, He cares for us.

Tom says He cares so much He died for us so we can spend eternity with the God of the universe. When we come to believe, we have such a future. We are waiting and more are coming to the Lord.

News:

Attacks from Lebanon intermittent. Tom wonders if Israel is going to strike Iran. Tom heard some people say that last night was the strongest in Gaza since it began. Pray.

Israel Today: a full war with Hezbollah is not expected. They are carrying out strikes, some deadly, that would be headlines ordinarily but in the present reality it is quickly becoming the new norm. People that live near the borders are fearful that what happened from Hamas in the south would happen to them. Says this fear helps Hezbollah’s agenda of one day pushing Israel out of Galilee and conquering the territory. 

Tom says the whole world seems to be screaming for Israel to stop and protesting, pro Palestinians. 

Israel Today: Palestinian sources say there are only 5 doctors and 120 patients remaining inside the hospital that was the control center for Hamas. Says Israel did not call for the hospital to evacuate but the hospital director did. Medical teams remained for the ones unwilling or unable to evacuate. IDF continues to provide food, water and aid there. Tom says they are going through the hospital and finding all the weapons Hamas had there.

RT: Iran says it will do whatever it takes to help Hamas. Says it won’t allow this brutal enemy and those standing behind them to conquer Gaza and its heroic people. Tom says Iran has not stepped in, hard to know what is going on. Seems Israel is winning pretty easily, leaning on its weapons. 

Last night NYC shut down 8th Ave for pro Palestinian march screaming, shut it down for Palestine. 

A Palestinian flag was hung on leaning tower of Pisa in Italy. Protests in cities all over the world. 

Rivers overflowing in Tanzania causing severe flooding, destruction and deaths. Non stop rain since October. 

2030 agenda style 15 minute city being constructed in Lebanon Indiana. Deep state already broken ground on 9,000 acre development called the Leap Project. Tom says they have alot of plans, like lock people in these little cities.

Clown world: “expert” says Ai won’t cause job losses like people think but cause better productivity. Tom laughs and says so the robot works harder than the person they will then want to work harder than the robot. This “expert” also says the concern for the next several decades is not too many workers, but too few. Failing fertility rates and rapid population of aging will reduce the work force growth. Tom says, like other things.

Slow earthquake day also.  Last 24 hours, 33, 4.0 and above and 3, 5.0 and above. 

Comments:

Says have been listening to the Book of Romans over and over. Thinks new believers should read Romans after they read John. Tom says he likes to read the Bible and also listen like when in the car. Says he often repeats parts and each time the Lord reveals more. 

Says prays for rest and renewal this weekend. Says can’t pour from an empty cup. Need to set aside time to be still and know He is God. Prays for God to refresh his spirit and recharge his energies and renew his focus. To grasp the depth of His love, the peace that surpasses all understanding and the joy that is found in His presence. 

Gospel :

Simple. The shedding of His blood for the forgiveness of sin. Sin is serious, Jesus is the only sacrifice for our sin. perfect. 

Admit you are a sinner, receive, be born again forever, rapture ready.

Warns the consequence if reject is hell for eternity, 

He did it all because He loves us and wants to spend eternity with us. If don’t receive, by default assigned to satan. 

Today is the day of salvation.
