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

Saturday Israel was dropping evacuation notices over Beirut Lebanon saying it was about to bomb. Israel warned it would strike Hezbollah’s financial centers in Beirut. Targets struck by IDF in Beirut connected to Iran’s funding of Hezbollah, its financial structure and assets. These banks receive the bulk of Hezbollah’s funding to about 700 million a year. Also receives other illegal sources like cocaine and trade.  The bank, called good loan association, has 31 branches in Beirut and S. Lebanon.

Bubba says this brings a new phase of the war with Hezbollah. Israel plans on destroying the financial system of Hezbollah. Panic is spreading across Beirut, many are fleeing. Buildings are collapsing and being destroyed, fires burning. At least 10 of 14 centers have been destroyed. Says Lebanon is starting to look like Gaza.

Bubba says Netanyahu is defiant after the drone attack to his house. Netanyahu said the agents of Iran who wanted to assassinate him and his wife made a terrible mistake. Says it will not deter him or the state of Israel from continuing the war of revival against the enemies to ensure security for their generations. Tells Iran anyone in this axis of evil who harms Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price. Says Israel will continue to eliminate terrorists and return hostages from Gaza. To return residents to the North and achieve all war goals. Says together they will fight and with God’s help will win. 

Comments made that after this drone attack to Israel its response will intensify against Iran. 

Yesterday Iran’s UN delegation denied any connection to the assassination of Netanyahu. Iran insisted it was Hezbollah without Iran’s involvement. Israel Today notes Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran and Iran is worried considering

their efforts to distance from Hezbollah. Israel is expected to respond. 

US officials admit leaked classified documents of Israel’s plans of its attack of Iran. It appeared online. US says it won’t affect Israel’s plans. Tom says Israel probably is more careful of what it shares as they know this could happen. 

Bubba says Blinken expected to arrive in Israel tomorrow to meet with Netanyahu, Gallant and security establishment. Talking about the leaks. Bubba says only Biden, Harris and Blinken knew about the plans. Says he is surprised that Israel will allow them to come after this.

October 22-24 Brics meets in Moscow. Iran’s president will be there. Something may happen with Israel and Iran during the time Iran’s president is in Moscow. 

Bubba says Iran threatens to change its nuclear policy if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities. It suggests Iran would respond with nuclear rockets upon Israel. Jeremiah 41: 35, God will not allow Elam, (Iran) to do this. God has an everlasting promise with Israel and its survival. God has big plans for Israel. Israel’s survival has everything to do with Bible prophecy.

Fearing an Israeli strike on Hezbollah’s new chief, fill in for Nasrallah,  he relocates to Tehran. Fearing an assassination. 

Netanyahu had a long meeting with security cabinet talking about how to rescue the hostages. 

Tom says there are many Christians in Iran, need to pray for them and for the hostages.

Many commented about how 3 national security sources confirmed that intelligence agencies anticipate a nationwide 911 style cyber attack against the US around the Election Day.

China prepares for war. The leader orders the military to be ready as tensions rise between the West.

Tom says, normal lives? The Bible says there will be some kind of normal up until the rapture and 7 year tribulation. It says as in the days of Noah and Lot, eating drinking and marrying. But we see the signs of the tribulation, wars and rumors of wars. The Middle East on the verge of full scale war with talk of nukes. China close to invading Taiwan. Russia and Ukraine at war.  N. And S. Korea talk of war. Many say the election will change it all. Tom says he doesn’t see it, sees chaos. This country is divided. God is over it all and we need not fear.

Gospel:

This all shows how short time is. We are so concerned for those not ready, that don’t know Jesus. They don’t realize what is coming. 

Jesus came to earth to die for the sins of mankind. The perfect sacrifice required, fully God and fully man, without sin. He took all the sins of the world on Him so we could have all our sins forgiven and go to heaven. Nothing we do or can do, He did it all. Admit of sins and need for a Savior. Believe and receive and will be born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed and rapture ready. He loves us and wants us to spend eternity with Him in heaven.

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