NOTES: Tom suggests have orange soda and a wedge salad with extra blue cheese and hang out with an old friend and a fellow servant of the Lord. 

Tom reads some Scriptures of God’s mercy. Hebrews 4: 16, Ephesians 2: 4-5, Psalm 1: 1-2, Micah 7: 18, God delights in mercy. Isaiah 30: 18, Psalm 25: 6-7. Psalm 40: 11, Psalm 23: 6, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. God is merciful and full of grace. He died for us, shed His blood to rescue us.

News:

Times of Israel: Israeli forces pushing deeper into central and S. Gaza with air strikes. Officials said the strikes killed 100 Palestinians and injured 150 in central Gaza Strip the past 24 hours. This includes soldiers and civilians. Pray for the people. 

Israel Today: Hamas underground headquarters in N. Gaza was blown up. The tunnels contained a power grid, ventilation, sewage infrastructure, and prayer and relaxation rooms. They destroyed one of the leaders, Sinwar’s, hideout. Tom says they are still looking for Sinwar. Tom says he can’t wait until face to face with Jesus and out of the war stricken world. So in the last days. Says can’t see how some can’t see it. Tom says he is shocked we are still here. 

Israel Today: Media says after the war Israel hopes to expel the UN’s dedicated agency for Palestinian refugees called UNRWA. That stand for United Nations Relief and Works Agency. They say it has a history of collaborating with Hamas. It is Hamas. Their schools in Gaza taught jihad values and raised and educated the terrorists who carried out October 7 atrocities. One Israeli officer said most if not all of UN relief workers are Hamas members.

Times of Israel: Israel IDF strikes S. Lebanon after rockets fired by Hezbollah. Tom still thinks this war leads to the rapture  and Psalm 83. Not long for this world. 

Israel Radar: Hezbollah increases forces in Syria Israel border after the killing of Sr. IRG officer in Damascus this week. Large quantities of Hezbollah weapons and military gear moved to Golan Heights. 

Israel defense minister said the country has been attacked from Gaza, W. Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran. These are the ones Israel has hit so far against Hamas: Gaza, Lebanon, Syria,  Iraq and Egypt. Tom says not fully opened up yet but increasing. The rapture is coming.

The Chinese balloon that went over the US that was collecting data, they now found out they were using US internet service provider. Tom says well, we should  have provided donuts too. Last days.

Insider paper: France said it will deploy more than 95.000 police and military for New Years Eve celebrations from terrorist threats. Also warning a lot of big cities around the world that attacks could happen on New Years Eve. Trust Jesus.

Past  24 hour earthquakes: 37, 4.0 and above and 7, 5.0 and above. 

Clown world: by Business Insider: Ai is coming for the jobs. Ai influencers taking away from human influences. They look like real people and are striking 6 figure deal with luxury brands. Ai cuts marketing costs they say. Ai coming for the 250 billion creator economy companies start to build computer generated influencers. Tom say clown world, ha, ha!

Another: Sky News: title: I attended my own sending off. How living funerals are changing the way we deal with death. Watched what their own funeral would look like. Tom says this world has become so narcissistic and self involved and self absorbed they have to attend their own funerals! Clown world, ha ha! Tom says they really really need Jesus.

Comments: 

Says has had 9 strokes, dealing with covid again and recovering from the second hip replacement surgery. Says though that she loves the Lord and enjoy the peace that passes all understanding. Says God is so good.

Tom says that is inspiring. Says when going through things remember what our future is. 

Says watching the signs and being ready. John 14: 3, 

Thankful to Tom for these, so encouraging. Praying for all that are lost. John 8: 36.

Be in the Word and prayer in these last days. So important. 

Says because Christ died we have lives that are forgiven, because Christ rose we have lives that are forever. 

Gospel: 

At conception an eternal being and spend somewhere, heaven or hell.  Serious. Don’t waste time here that is given by not receiving Jesus.

Tom says since April 4, 2022 has been doing these videos and will continue until he is with Jesus. 

Jesus, the creator came to die and save us. He came for that reason. Shed His blood to cover our sins. Because He loves us and wants to spend eternity with us. Gives us the free gift of salvation. 

Admit a sinner and believe and be saved. Saved by grace through faith in Him. Warns if reject, will go to hell. Don’t have to go there. Jesus made a way to be saved and with Him forever. Be saved today.

Testimonies:

@barbarabrogden9004

I was saved at 37 years old, at a Billy Graham rally in Liverpool UK. I had been a Catholic all my life, but 4 years later after bible study and much prayer, left that church for an evangelical fellowship. I’ve never looked back, except in awe of God’s goodness and mercy to me, and consequently, my husband and two children. I’m now 76, so thankful, grateful and blessed as He has carried me through many troughs and mountain tops in life. I’ve been widowed and remarried to a true believer and evangelist for nearly ten years now. Age is now affecting us in various ways, but the faithfulness of God never changes. I’m doubly blessed to be amongst this precious family of end time believers as we share our hopes and expectations of soon seeing our Saviour Jesus. Maranatha!

@naomicompton5691

I was saved at the young age of twelve I did stray when I became a bit order from lack of understanding I’m happy to say at 23 years of age the Lord spoke to me while I was getting ready for bed he called my name went back to church the following Easter Sunday i have been standing strong  since 

@bkberggren46

I am a prodigal daughter.  Two years ago I woke one morning to loud call to “Repent”.   When in doubt He made it clear it was Him.  Like one restless night I was told not to worry because,  ” There is no darkness, there is only Light”,  He watches and listens.  He is a Faithful Loving Shepard  who protects and follows you down long roads to bring you back. Praise Jesus!!!! Pray with your heart and He will answer.

@purplepanda295

I never knew anything of Jesus nor did I grow up in church.  He saved me in 2016.  Strangely he lead me into the dark things of this world, in order to find him. That’s the best way I can explain it.

@backyardonorchard9420

I was saved at 4 years old in Sunday school by an invitation of a guest missionary and his wife who taught our class.

It took me until my 20s to come to that full assurance of faith. Today I have my full confidence in Christ and try my best to pass that on to my son.

And now I’ve come full circle and teach 2-4 year olds about Jesus in my church. I have no greater joy then to see their faces and voices light up with the name of Jesus!
