Tom  says before we start the news lets put on the whole armor of God together.

Ephesians 6:10-18 “Finally my brothern be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the whiles of the devil.  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and done all to stand. Stand therefore having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”

Tom says these are dark days, the last days. We trust our Lord and Savior to come and take us up.  We hang out together as we wait.

Past 24 hours, 44 earthquakes 4.0 and above, 5 over 5.0, The expert on earthquake Dutch Sense says governments and powers removed him so he doesn’t report anymore. Tom says in the olden days we used to think when things got to the end, they would happen very quick but we are seeing so much.

Clown world:  Tom is laughing on this one.  Says schools are removing analog clocks from exam halls, as teenagers cannot tell the time! Tom says they don’t do cursive anymore, young kids can’t read it anymore. Stopped teaching it a little over 10 years ago.

Another Clown world:  Reuters says Al Chat bot can pass national lawyer ethics exam.

Comments: Tom comments even in the comments he gets Christians that are turning against Israel.  Says don’t confuse Israels’s secular  government with the nation of Israel, God’s land, God of Abraham.

Says her husband died 4 yrs ago. Both watching for the rapture. Just before he died, was incoherent but woke and said, don’t worry, you will be there soon. Tom says his Dad was saying things just  before he died. Tom says he feels something happens when someone is on the precipice of death, like getting glimpses of eternity.

Says Jesus doesn’t owe us anything at all, we owe Him everything. He made a promise to return for us and to wait on Him and praise Him while doing so. We love Him and waiting patiently for Him. Ton says Jesus did everything for us. We will praise Him for eternity.

Says  not all are called to be watchmen. If  we were all, nothing else would get done. Other generations have had watchmen, just happens Christ is going to return to this generation, Don’t loose hope,

Says sometimes it looks like we are drowning in a river of chaos and confusion, Remember our lifeguard can walk on water.

Gospel: Jesus fully God, fully, man. Sat on the throne with the Father for eternity, The One who spoke creation came to die as a man for us, because of love. Hard to understand.

Warns of rejecting what Jesus did, won’t be saved. Jesus wants all to be saved.

Ever since the foundation of the world, without the shedding of blood, no forgiveness of sins.  He did it all, all that  was required. Died rose again, seen from over 500 people.  Trust, believe in  Him and be saved, born again, rapture ready.

1 Corinthians 15: 1-4. “Brothers, I declare to you the Gospel, the Good News which I preached to you which also you received and in which you stand by which also you are saved.
