October 4, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Israel Continues, Iran threatens!

Tom says he started these videos 2 1/2 years ago today. Says so amazed at where it has gone. What God planned. Such a blessing. Is thankful for all the encouragement he receives and between one another. 

Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 5: 2-6 and 4: 16-18. We are told to watch for the rapture. It is comforting! 

Revelations 3: 10, we who believe in Jesus won’t be here for the time of the tribulation on the earth.

John 14: 1-3, we who believe in Jesus go to the mansions in heaven with Jesus! 

News:

Another strike by Israel on a bunker near Beirut wipes out another Hamas commander, he was to be Hezbollah’s new leader. 

Bubba reports the strike was  bunker busting bombs, 11 continuous strikes. Says the intense bombardment caused car alarms to go off, shook buildings. 

Reports the air strike targeted a meeting of senior Hezbollah leaders which included the possible successor of Nasrallah. Bubba says it looks like it was a meeting to elect Hezbollah’s replacement. 

Israel believes it was successful. Hezbollah not saying anything about it. Iran’s leader has a victory speech planned for Friday. 

Amir says it looks like whoever was there is gone. They may have been planning revenge for Nasrallah’s death, all dead. 

Also IDF says commander of Hezbollah’s communications division was killed yesterday. Said he was there since 2000 and close to terror groups leadership.

Reports Erdogan says the UN should use force to stop Israel in Gaza and Lebanon. Says it should recommend force in line with resolution passed in 1950.

The funeral of Nasrallah was held today in Tehran. Conducted by Khamenei with a rifle by his side. A rare appearance, the first for nearly 5 years. Thousands of worshipers carrying portraits of slain leaders. 

He  said, Israel will not last long. Said what they did was minimum pursuit to Israel and will respond harshly to any aggression. Says they must not rush, any situation must be carefully studied before reacting. Said Americans and Zionists will be uprooted from our regime. Said to Hamas and Hezbollah to continue to fight and not despair. Said the jihad of Palestinians and Lebanon has set the Zionist regime back 70 years. Said the countries and the regime strive for peace and tranquility. Says the only problem is foreign intervention.

Tom says but we remember October 7. Also Tom says, the way Israel works, the rifle won’t do much!

Reports of air strikes  last night all over S. Lebanon. Iran makes the statement that Netanyahu has gone completely crazy! Says wanting to destroy Lebanon tonight is being described as judgment day.

Yesterday it was reported tankers on Iran’s largest oil terminal vacated the terminal fearing imminent Israeli attack. 

This is a site where 90% of the countries export flows. 

Oil up 4% yesterday amid talks of Israel attacking oil and gas. Deputy commander of Iran’s IRG said this would be a mistake for Israel and that all of Israel’s refineries and gas fields would be hit. Says Iran is a large country with many economic centers while Israel has 3 power plants and several refineries. Says Iran can hit all of them at the same time. 

Reports that Khamenei is loosing his support for his inaction says some of the religious conservative youth. While some blame Iran’s new president for inaction and hold to the policies of the previous president. Some feel Khamenei, not the president, is Iran’s commander in chief. Pressing them to strike harder and quicker.

President to consulting and energy of CNN business said the October surprise could be the 100$ oil no one wants. Says the Middle East in chaos and oil market remarkably calm about it. Says oil prices have climbed but not dramatically. Says the world braces for all out war in the most critical region on the planet for energy. Says like the boy who cried wolf, did not end well. Too complacent. 

Gallant says Israel has more surprises in store for Hezbollah. Says it is receiving severe blows, more to come.

Amir call this the stuff the world has totally lost its mind. UNRWA and its head, the UN Secretary General and the International Court of Justice are among the candidates for Nobel peace prize for 2024. Says the official announcement will take place October 11. Tom laughs!

Massive X 9.0 solar flare erupts yesterday. The biggest solar flare since 2017. Watching to see if it disrupts things. 

Amir shares the comparisons of hurricane Katrina to Helene. 

Katrina: Cat 3, Helene, Cat 4. 

Katrina: 125 max sustain winds, Helene, 140. 

Katrina: diameter 400 miles, Helene, 822 miles.

Katrina: windfall 230 miles, Helene, 370. 

Tom says emails from people who do have power say the damage is catastrophic, such suffering and horrible stories, suffering and dying.

Main stream media not covering it much. Covering up alot. Election coming up and don’t want leadership to look bad. Pray, donations can be  to Samaritans purse and others. 

Gospel:

We have been seeing so many signs coming together to show how short time is before Jesus calls believers home. Be sure to be saved and ready. A decision to choose or reject Jesus. Who came to earth to give His life so we may have eternal life with Him forever in heaven. Cannot enter heaven in sinful bodies but Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God without sin came willingly. He died shed His blood to remove all  our sins. He loves us. 

Must admit of sin and need for a Savior. Believe, receive in faith and will be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed and rapture ready. Won’t be here for the 7 year time of tribulation on the earth but in heaven with Jesus and the family of God. Be saved today!

Today’s Scriptures:

1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 NKJV

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

Revelation 3:10 NKJV

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 NKJV

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

John 14:1-3 NKJV

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
