October 14, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Breaking: Major Escalation, Rumors of Wars!

Scriptures: Lamentations 3: 22-23. Through the Lord’s mercies we aren’t consumed because His compassion fails not. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. 

Hebrews 10: 23. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering for He who promised is faithful. 

1 Chronicles 16: 34. Oh gave thanks to the Lord for He is good. 

Tom says looks like on the verge of major wars. Many say WW3 has already began. We that believe in Jesus need not worry, we are children of God.

News: 

Sources: Bubba, Amir, US civil defense news, Insider Paper, Israel Radar, Bloomberg.

Bubba: Hezbollah drone attack hit the dining room of a cafeteria where IDF soldiers were eating. Horrible attack. Says one of the deadliest attacks on Israel since the war in Lebanon began. The Hezbollah drone attack on that base killed 4 and injured at least 67. About 50 ambulances were called in. 

Hezbollah said it also targeted a naval base near Haifa. They called it a “tribute to Nasrallah.” Also reported was a launch at a training camp near Haifa that was intercepted by Israel. 

Amir comments Biden asked Netanyahu to stop attacks on Beirut and there were no attacks for 2-3 days. Then that was when this attack happened. Amir says we should never listen to Biden.

Tom says the US is focused on the election, not Israel. 

Israel army reports it intercepted 2 drones approaching Israel from Syria. 

Houthis say they plan to target US and Israel warships with missiles and drones. Houthis say they view Iran’s strike plans as a major escalation that will trigger a regional battle.

US and Russia deploying their most advanced anti tank ballistic missile defense to Israel and Iran, moving their pieces in place before full scale war begins.

Tom says, perilous last days, not sustainable. 

US powerful anti missile defense system is being sent to Israel along with 100 supporting troops. Says it is to arrive in Israel on Tuesday. 

It is called the Thaad defense system, terminal high altitude area defense. This is one of the US most powerful anti missile weapons capable of intercepting ballistic missiles at ranges of 93- 124 miles with near perfect success rating. This is the only US missile defense system that can destroy short to medium range both inside and outside the atmosphere. Netanyahu is set to meet with security tonight.

Tom says Israel may have taken a pause striking at Beirut to wait for this.

Iran severs all indirect talks with the US via Oman. Looks like a dangerous sign.

Amir says Israel air force jets launched powerful strikes on Hezbollah locations at the border. 

Israel senior official said the response to Iran attack will come before US elections. Claims it will happen when preparations for coordination with US are completed. Says Jerusalem is very interested working with Washington. 

Israel security finance minister Smotrich, labeled far right, calls for borders to extend to Damascus.

He said this in an interview in a documentary. Said Israel would expand title by little until it encompasses all of Palestinian territories as well as 100% of Jordan, 100% of Lebanon, 70% of Syria, 50% of Iraq and 33% of Saudi Arabia. 

Jordan’s ministry of foreign affairs condemned it and said it was dangerous and racist ideology. 

Hamas privately admits 80% of the casualties are terrorists and family members.

Bubba says China begins military exercises to N,S, and W of Taiwan. Totally surrounding the island. Calls it joint sword 2024. Bubba says some want war along with Iran war to cause the next chaos of the time of the elections. 

China plans to use force to bring Taiwan under its control. China’s president orders Taiwan to be surrounded and cut off from all foreign influence. China’s army, navy and Air Force surround Taiwan cutting it off from the world. Thousands of troops, hundreds of fighter jets and dozens of warships deployed.

Also N. Korea threatens war with S. Korea. N. Korea ordered border army to be ready to shoot. It claimed S. Korea had sent unmanned drones carrying propaganda leaflets.

This week the “hunters moon” will be a super moon, the brightest in 2024. 

Gospel: 

Tom encourages and warns. For those who belong to Jesus we know we are going to heaven. For those who reject Jesus what is coming on the earth is more than horrible. 

Jesus came from heaven to save mankind from sins that would keep us from heaven with Jesus.

Jesus took all our sins upon Him so we could be forgiven. He died, was buried and rose the 3rd day and is coming again. 

Must admit of sins and need for a Savior and receive Jesus as Savior. 

He did it all, nothing we do or can do. Believe, receive in faith and will be born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed and rapture ready. A free gift because He loves us and wants us to be in heaven with Him forever. 

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