Tom has been making videos for 26 months, 2 years, 2 months and  asks, is the world getting better?   No! Some say its just a bump in the road.  Tom asks if we could see the war in Israel just stopping?  And threats of nuclear war stop?  No turning back now.  Shared a video on his telegram this morning called, something strange is happening in China.  About the mainstream media wondering why we are being surrounded by China and Russia with nukes .  Tom says yet still people deny and ignore.  They wonder why fighting age males are coming into our border.  Saying its almost like we are being invaded.  

Tom  reminds us when we belong to Jesus, no reason to worry.  Time is very short.  China and Russia have plans to destroy the US.  Tom does not see it until after the rapture.

Today’s Scriptures:

Psalm 91:1-16 KJV

[1] He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust. [3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence. [4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. [5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. [8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold And see the reward of the wicked. [9] Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, Even the most High, thy habitation; [10] There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. [12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. [13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. [15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. [16] With long life will I satisfy him, And shew him my salvation.

Psalm 137:1-9 KJV

[1] By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion. [2] We hanged our harps Upon the willows in the midst thereof. [3] For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. [4] How shall we sing The LORD’s song in a strange land? [5] If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her cunning. [6] If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; If I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. [7] Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. [8] O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. [9] Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the stones.

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:
