May 2, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – The World is ready for the 7 year tribulation

Tom says I’m not a pastor, prophet, just a dude that loves the Lord  and talking about the Lord and hanging out together.  Suggests maybe have a deep dish, Chicago style pizza, its good,  or whatever you like when hanging out with an old friend and fellow servant of the Lord!

Looking at all the news, something is painting a picture.  The world is ready for the 7 year tribulation.  The rapture first, any day.  All the lawlessness and evil, seems they are ready for a one world leader.  Ready for one world government, one world religion like it says in the Bible that comes during the tribulation.   We are like in the days of Noah and Lot. Eating, drinking, marrying but soon it won’t still be like that.  In dangerous territory if don’t know Jesus.  Almost out of time.  Paul said we could know when the time is here.  Many are seeing it.  Many saying this may be the year.

News –

AP: Thursday Hamas was considering the latest ceasefire proposal that US and other mediators hope will avert an Israeli attack on the Gaza town of Rafah.  They wonder if Israel would accept an end to the war.

UN report said if war in Gaza stops today it will take until 2040 to rebuild the homes that have been destroyed by nearly 7 months of war.  And says the damage to the economy would set back the development for generations and only get worse with every month of fighting.

Hamas says it will only release hostages if Israel ends war in Gaza and pulls troops out.

The war cabinet is meeting tonight in Israel to discuss plans.

Israel Today – Many Israelis oppose a 2 state solution.  So Biden Administration is working for a fast Saudi, Israel deal that commits to a Palestinian State.  Reports this could be discussed early this month and Netanyahu is under much pressure to do this.

Insider Paper – Blinken tells Netanyahu the US still opposes Rafah operation.  He again told them US position, hopes to push forward on Israel Hamas deal of temporary cease of fighting and release of hostages.  Blinken’s 7th trip to the Middle East.  Netanyahu said Tuesday they would go into Rafah even if a deal is reached.

Also  Blinken tells Israel there are better ways  with the Rafah  than a major attack.  He doesn’t say what. 

Times of Israel – Jordan rejects Senior Hamas official idea of moving leadership to their territory from Qatar. They don’t want them there.

UN will meet in September for 79th session called “Summit of the Future”.  To sign for a pact to call for declaring planetary emergency.  End of September to radically alter UN itself.

Clown World – Ukraine unveils AI generated foreign ministry spokeswoman.  Named it Victoria that will make official statements on behalf of foreign ministry.  A digital person dressed in a dark suit.

Another – New Orleans restaurant puts cicada salad on the menu.  Tom show a picture, bugs on top of the salad.  As millions of bugs are now appearing  they say if they are prepared properly they can be tasty to eat!   Not the first bug “treat” they serve at it’s cafe!  Like cinnamon bug crunch, chili fried wax worms, crispy cajun spiced crickets. No, just have water – awful!

Testimony and comments –

After someone gave him a copy of The Late Great Planet Earth he looked further and it answered his questions about all the prophecies that were fulfilled in Jesus birth, life, death and resurrection.  He was raised Catholic and never heard it.  Changed him and today loves the Lord more than he can explain and absolutely believes this is the season of His return.  Listens almost every day to Watchman River Tom and tells all he can to get ready.

Living in these Biblical times is so exciting.  Thankful Jesus told us not to worry when we see these things converging. Birth pains, let’s go up today.

Gospel 

It can get discouraging to see it all.  We pray for each other to encourage and look up together.  He is coming so soon.

Because Jesus came to die for our sins we can be forgiven so we can be with Him.  When we believe in His sacrifice, shed His blood to take all sins, will be saved forever.

Without believing and receiving, sins not forgiven and will not go to heaven but hell.

Believe He died, was buried, rose again.  Will be filled with the Holy Spirit, changed.  Rapture ready, go to heaven with Him forever.  

1 Corinthians 15:3-4. Ephesians 1:7 – Grace through faith in Him saves us. 

Ephesians 2:8-9 Nothing we do or can do to be saved, only Jesus, He did it all.

Be saved today.

Today’s Scriptures:

John 1:1-51 KJV

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. [6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. [7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. [8] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. [9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. [15] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. [16] And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. [17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. [19] And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? [20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. [21] And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. [22] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? [23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. [24] And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. [25] And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? [26] John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; [27] he it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. [28] These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. [29] The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. [30] This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. [31] And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. [32] And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. [33] And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. [34] And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. [35] Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; [36] and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! [37] And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. [38] Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? [39] He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. [40] One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. [41] He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. [42] And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. [43] The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. [44] Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. [45] Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. [46] And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. [47] Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! [48] Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. [49] Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. [50] Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. [51] And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV

[3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 

Ephesians 1:7 KJV

[7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV

[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] not of works, lest any man should boast.
