Reports coming about about the damage from hurricane Milton. It hit Florida coast at 8:30pm. It was a Cat 5 and then at a Cat 3 when it hit the coast. Many huge tornados hit just before the hurricane hit land. 130 tornado warnings. The winds were 120 mph sustained. Much destruction but not the loss of life that could have been. Tom says very thankful to God. There were many prayers and prayers still needed.

Over 3 million without power. High winds destroyed many homes. Tore roof off major sports venue, toppled a crane  into an office building downtown Tampa. Downed traffic lights, signs ripped out of the ground. Shredded plywood meant to keep storm out. 

Says the storm surge was not as expected as there was a reverse storm surge which occasionally happens.

Tom says the recent one with Helene was much worse, so much loss of life. Flooding, roads washed out, people stranded. 

Biden and Netanyahu talked yesterday. This call was their first in nearly 2 months. They agreed to stay in touch. 

Washington has been pressuring Israel not to strike Iran’s oil or nuclear facilities. Biden warned Netanyahu US will not defend Israel it it hits Iran’s nuclear sites. Biden said with any strikes it won’t receive American backing.

Another source says Israel’s response to Iran will be extremely deadly even it it risks provoking retaliation strike from Iran that could be damage of buildings in Israel.

Gallant says when Israel strikes back Iran won’t understand what happened to them or how.  Says Israel’s strike will be lethal, precise and especially surprising. Said Iran’s recent strike was aggressive but they failed because they were inaccurate.

Reports that says it takes Israel about 16 days of directive  to have the time to get ready to attack. Says it has been 10 days since Iran’s missile assault on Israel. IDF has been preparing, getting close to the 16 days. Suggests the long prep time indicates a large scale operation. 

Washington says it supports Israel to keep Lebanon from becoming a second Gaza. Says however US and Lebanon have not done anything to prevent it, and has let the terrorists take over.

Amir says Hezbollah group is in chaos and making mistakes. Gives not much resistance by operatives in the villages. Says it was the big reason Israel was able to eliminate battalion commanders. Says at 2 villages and open area in front of Galilee they found and destroyed 500 terrorist positions. Says there are strongholds in the Biblical heartland. Says it is a critical front but receives less coverage than Gaza or Lebanon.

Tom says some reports that Hamas and Hezbollah rockets and missiles are at 10% of what they were. Says Israel has been destroying much above ground and underground weapon storage facilities. Israel has been operating with increased intensity in Palestinian controlled cities and terrorists. 

Amir said head of Israel’s Mossad and head of CIA says any ceasefire with Hezbollah must include a deal for release of hostages in Gaza.

Saying Israel’s nation is at odds with Biden administration and other Western allies.

A strong majority wants to see Israel strike Iran’s oil and nuclear facilities regardless of the risk of another major retaliation or even regional war. They see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to cripple Iran’s threat and Hezbollah’s strangle hold in Lebanon. Says the West thinks its madness for Israel to take such risks. From Israel’s perspective it seems like madness to miss this opportunity.

Tonight Israel’s cabinet is meeting. Says they vote on response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack. 

Bubba says Netanyahu is expected to ask the cabinet to authorize Gallant and Netanyahu to make the final decision to move forward with the attack on Iran. Saying it would be known as the Yom Kippur attack, this weekend. Gallant and Netanyahu want to wait until Yom Kippur is over. The Day of Atonement begins at sundown October 11 and ends nightfall October 12. 

Severe solar storm starting today. May show auroras as far as Alabama.

Gospel: 

Jesus came from heaven to rescue us from all sins. He died, shed His blood, gave His life for us. Because He loves us and wants us to be with Him in heaven. 

Must admit of our sins and need for a Savior. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice required, without sin. 

1 Corinthians 15: 1-4. Jesus died, was buried and rose the 3rd day and is coming again. Believe in faith and receive forgiveness of all sins and be saved. Will be born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed and rapture ready. Won’t be here for the 7 year tribulation.

Be saved today in the family of God with Jesus forever.
