News:

Amir says American senior official says Israel is determined to attack Iran’s nuclear facility, possibly within a few days. Tom is hearing Israel’s retaliation may be any day.

Iran’s parliament is saying it is drafting a bill to create an official military alliance between all its proxies. Iran, Islamic in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas and others. Talk of a joint operations room and unified military infrastructure and joint military exercises. Each  would be obligated to send military and humanitarian aid in case of an act of aggression by the US or Israel against any of these in agreement. 

Amir says Netanyahu has been meeting for hours with the head of the military. 

Sky News channel reports in Arabic that the US has warned Israel against attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities. Says Iran would withdraw from its treaty if the facilities are attacked. US says Israel would not be able to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities without them. Says its too complex and requires strikes for days.

Bubba on what a former IDF head of intelligence said. He was one of the pilots who took out Iraq’s nuclear reactor back in June 1981. He said Israeli’s attack on Iran may be something the Middle East has never seen. Says they might not use a major air attack with missiles just yet. 

Bubba wonders if Israel may use a weaponized EMP. Maybe use  some of the new era of warfare.

Bennett urges Israel to strike Iran’s nuclear program. Says for the first time Israel has the ability to act against Iran without fearing a terrible and intolerable reaction. He refers to the weakness of Iran’s proxies Hezbollah and Hamas. Says Iran’s terrorism and murder is exposed for the first time.

Last night Hezbollah fired 5 missiles toward Tel Aviv. Attacked from Gaza, Yemen and Lebanon. 

IDF reports since last night approximately 190 projectiles were fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon to Israel.

Hezbollah deputy chief says its military capabilities are fine.  But we know they have been weakened. 

Amir says last night he had rockets fly over his head and shows  them from his camera. Reported that one person was lightly injured by shrapnel. And only 1 house hit but no one lived there. Says it is such a miracle.

Tom says we have heard of the miracles God did on Israel’s behalf during the war in 1963 and 1973. Now seeing it again.

iDF confirms Iran’s leader Sinwar is alive. He was heard from. It is said he carries a bag of dynamite and surrounds himself with 20 hostages at all times. Says they have had a few chances to kill him but didn’t want to harm the hostages. 

Turkey said tomorrow it will evacuate its citizens from Lebanon. 

Oil prices are surging as the Middle East tensions threaten global supply.

Russia and China are holding joint nave patrols north east of the Pacific Ocean. 

Yesterday reports that American water works had a computer hack in its system. They provide water and waste water service to more than 14 million in 14 states and 18 military installations. 

Hurricane Milton is headed toward W. Central Florida Wednesday night. It is getting stronger, they say so strong they talk about creating a Cat 6, 5 is the strongest named so far. Saying it may be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record. Damaging winds, life threatening storm surge, heavy rainfall. Sustained  winds reported at 180 mph. Massive evacuation, blocked up traffic jams, some run out of gas, gas stations running out of gas. Please pray for God to calm the winds and protect the people.

Gospel: 

Know Jesus, believe in what He did to save us to be able to be with Him in heaven forever. How He came to earth, perfect, to be the sacrifice required for sins. Admit of being a sinner and need for a Savior. He died, shed His blood to remove every sin ever committed. Saved by grace, unearned gift by Jesus and what He did for us out of His great love. Believe, receive, and be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed, and rapture ready.

Be saved today, forever with Jesus and the family of God. 

1 Corinthians 15: 1-4, the Gospel.

Today’s Scriptures:

Psalm 27 NKJV

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked came against me

To eat up my flesh,

My enemies and foes,

They stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army may encamp against me,

My heart shall not fear;

Though war may rise against me,

In this I will be confident.

4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,

That will I seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

All the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the Lord,

And to inquire in His temple.

5 For in the time of trouble

He shall hide me in His pavilion;

In the secret place of His tabernacle

He shall hide me;

He shall set me high upon a rock.

6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;

Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!

Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When You said, “Seek My face,”

My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

9 Do not hide Your face from me;

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not leave me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me,

Then the Lord will take care of me.

11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,

And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.

12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;

For false witnesses have risen against me,

And such as breathe out violence.

13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed

That I would see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord;

Be of good courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart;

Wait, I say, on the Lord!
