Watchman River Tom – April 24, 2024 – The Threats to Israel Continue

Another good day the Lord has made for us as we await the pre-tribulation rapture and we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Tom is feeling that he should recommend a snack while watching this video, like hot coffee and apple fritter!

Scripture, what the Bible has to say about eternity.

1 John 5:11. This is the testimony that God has given us, eternal life and this life is in His Son.

John 5:24 – most assuredly I say to you he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into judgement but has passed from death into life.  John 3:16, John 6:47.

When we have Jesus we have everything.  Without Him, nothing.  So very close to the rapture.

News:

Times of Israel – Iran’s President threatens Israel’s annihilation if a major attack occurs.  He began a 3 day visit to Pakistan on Monday and vowed to boost trade between the 2 nations to 10 Billion a year.  The 2 Muslim nations are seeking to mend ties.

Amir says many are fleeing from North Gaza to the South.  IDF gave them a warning to leave immediately for their peace and security.  Terrorists and launches have returned to the area and possibly entrance  of ground forces.

Israel Today – Hamas officials told Saudi media today that the group is holding 30 Israeli officers in a safe place, that it is impossible for Israel to reach them.  This causes concern that some Israeli hostages may have been smuggled through tunnels in Egyptian Sinai.  So even going to Rafah wouldn’t bring their release.  Hamas officials also say they are not certain how many Israeli hostages are still alive, but higher number than Israel and US media say.   – we pray –

Yesterday Israel IDF struck several targets of Hezbollah across South Lebanon, focusing on Hezbollah tunnel and underground bunkers.   

Jerusalem Post – Qatar officials say  Jews are murderers of prophets and October 7 is only a prelude.  A member of the council spoke at Arab league session with antisemitic  remarks and warning of violence and terrorism.

Tom say we need the Bible to understand what is behind all this.  Comes from the spiritual realm, always has. 

Times of Israel – Hezbollah launched several drones at Northern Israel today, targets an army base.  Many were force to enter their bunkers over the first days of Passover.   Over the past 2 days about 60 rockets were fired into Israel.  Most intercepted over the Mediterranean Sea by IDF defense system.

Tom says it is endless, until God steps in and we are raptured, any day.

Daily Mail – Israel builds a huge tent city and prepares to evacuate a million Palestinians before a 6 week invasion of Rafah starting in May.  US warns Hamas is aiming for a full scale regional war.  Could start any day now many say.    

Iran has withdrawn its forces from Syria and the Damascus area, expecting attacks from Israel;.

Israel Today – 700 Jews visited the Temple Mount today.  On the way there one Orthodox Jew shouted to the camera, ” the Temple Mount is in our hands”.  That clip has gone all over Arab networks which they use to say Israel wants to destroy the Al Asqa mosque.

Vessels are avoiding the Red Sea to avoid the Houthis.  They claim it is affecting global warming with carbon emissions.  The  ships going from the Far East to the Mediterranean have increased by 63%.

Clown World

Another one, disturbing.  A company unveils a robot called the “therminator”.  If has a flame thrower attached.  It is said to be selling to the general public!  For about 9,500 dollars.  It shoots flames 30 feet.  They call it a companion dog!  Tom asks what would someone do with this thing?  Tom says I’ll just take water.

Testimonies and comments –

Thankful she knows not to put her faith in the  blood of goats or red cow or anything that cannot save but trusts the blood of Jesus Christ.  

Says not until I understand that I can’t, but Jesus can, that everything changed in my life.  Philippians 4:13.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Says see you all in the clouds!

We all need more faith than ever before.  It’s so hard to look up with everything going on all around us. Prays  please, please, come soon.  Tom says  many are praying that.

Our lives are only about to begin in Him.

That God had to turn from His Son because of how horrible sin is shows how amazing the gift  redemption is.  What a sacrifice, we’ll never get tired of praising Him for all of eternity.

Gospel –

Yes we will never tire of praising Him as He lavishes us with His goodness for all of eternity, which we don’t deserve.

We know without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.  Jesus was the requirement.  Fully God and fully man.  He came the first  time in humility, loving everyone, feeding them.   Then to die for every sin that removes them all and forgiveness of all.  

To receive all sins forgiven, have  faith and believe that He took them all in place of us.  He died, was buried and rose the third day.  Say you believe and thank Him.

  You are saved forever, born again with the Holy Spirit, will be rapture ready and go to heaven.  

Warns if reject or ignore, sins won’t be forgiven and go to hell forever.  

All have a choice.  Choose Jesus.  Be saved today.  With Him forever.
