August 1, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Israel prepares for attacks on all sides.

Scriptures about protection. Putting on the whole armor of God to withstand the whiles of the devil. Hide in Jesus. Psalm 46: 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. He will not leave or forsake us. Ne weapon formed against us shall prosper. Romans 8: 31 If God is for us who can be against us. 

News: 

From Iran:

Iran’s leader gave orders for Iran to strike Israel directly in retaliation for killing of Hamas leader. 

Terrorists in Lebanon have raised the red flag of vengeance. Some say its expected Hezbollah will attack Israel tonight and many in Israel are frustrated saying it seems like Israel is just waiting and thinks they should strike first if they think Iran will strike.

There is report Iran is preparing to use the largest attack using cruise and ballistic missiles.

Some messages sent from Iran through back channels say Israel is willing to go full scale war if Iran and proxies conduct a signifiant retaliatory response to yesterday’s assassination. 

Iran officials met today with proxies from Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen to discuss potential retaliation over the killing of Hamas leader in Tyran and Hezbollah commander in Lebanon on outskirts of Beirut. 

At least 3 Iranian proxy organizations were spotted in East and North Syria. The leaders of Houthis said they will be an essential part of Iran response.

At the funeral for Hamas leader, they called for revenge. Iran’s leader led prayers for his burial in Qatar. The speaker of the Parliament said at the funeral that the Zion regime will pay a heavy price that they will not be able to imagine. Interesting that none of the commanders of Iran’s army and Revolutionary Guard Corps were there. Likely they are planning something.

Israel:

Israel is preparing for a large war with Hezbollah. All regular and reserve combat divisions undergo specialized drills and the exercises are the largest in the army’s history. IDF canceled all leaves for combat units, air force and navy on standby. Hospital war time plans, emergency stock piles, cyber defense. Government orders factories close to the Lebanon border to limit their operations. Companies must urgently cut stockpile of hazardous materials on site to reduce danger in case of rocket or drone assault. 

Yesterday Netanyahu did a 5 minute televised speech. He said Israel gave crashing blows to their enemies. He referred to the killing of the Hezbollah leader in Beirut but so mention of Hamas leader. He commented that eliminating Hamas chief was Nasarallah’s right hand man and was responsible for the soccer massacre. He did say if Israel had given into pressure for ending the war in Gaza they would not have been able to eliminate Hamas leader and thousands of terrorists.

Bubba news said Israel had a 3 hour cabinet meeting yesterday. Israel said they are expecting massive projectile fire toward the entire country from Iran directly and combined proxies from all sides. From the West coming over the Mediterranean by Houthis, Hezbollah drones from the North and Syria from the East and Iran and Iraq fro the South. Mega war coming. The question os when? Bubba suggests maybe between Saturday to Monday, during the dark moon. 

US:

Reported the Pentagon and US military officials were amazed at the assassination of Hamas. Because Israel did it within the heart of Tyran, close to where the president of Iran is was staying. Says makes it difficult for Iran not to respond. 

Senior Pentagon official says the US has deployed at least 12 warships in the Middle East including the aircraft carrier Roosevelt. Also combat teams and more than 4,000 Marines. 

On Wednesday the White House said the strikes killing Hezbollah and Hamas leaders don’t help the regional tensions and no sign of imminent wider conflict. Tom said but a few hours later the Pentagon says Israel is about to be attacked from every side within 72 hours.

United Airlines and Delta cancelling flights to Israel starting today. 

Tom says waiting and watching to see what may come. More war, call for peace and safety then sudden destruction, the rapture? We were told to wait and watch. We know the rapture is any time. Watching, looking up. Pray for peace throughout the Middle East. Very serious times. 

Tom says the harpazo means snatching out of danger. Says it doesn’t have to mean every place on the globe has to be in danger at that moment. Some may be like it is right now where we may live. But its a snatching up. Jesus is not worried, He is powerful and loves us more than we can know and we belong to Him. 

Weather;

A fire in Northern California grew to the state’s 5th largest wildfire on record July 30. Affected 4 counties. So far destroying 227 structures  and displacing more than 4,000 residents with only 18% containment declaring state of emergency. Pray.

Landslides from heavy rains in S. India killed 166. More than 1,000 rescue workers searched through the mud and debris for the second day. 

Huge floods in NE Vermont destroy homes some rescued by boat. More rains came that caved roads, crushed vehicles and pushed homes off foundations. Nearly 3 weeks after flooding from hurricane Beryl. Some areas got 6-8 inches of rain. Pray. 

Gospel: Jesus sacrifice was complete for all sins. Isaiah 43: 25 I am He who blots out your transgression for My own sake and I will not remember your sins.

Once we put our faith in the blood Jesus shed for our sins He removes them and doesn’t remember them, He loves us so much. He took our sins and punishment and gave us His righteousness. 

Believe He died for our sins and be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit and rapture ready.

Be saved today, in heaven with Him forever.

[4] They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. [5] For they have consulted together with one consent: They are confederate against thee: [6] The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; Of Moab, and the Hagarenes; [7] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; [8] Assur also is joined with them: They have holpen the children of Lot.
