October 24, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Is Israel About to Attack Iran?

Tom is in his fine humor today! He says he is getting some complaints about the snack suggestions! One says it is getting old, Tom saying no time for snack suggestions. Tom says just for the record, I’m old and I didn’t have time for that either! Says it snuck up on me! Some complains the snack suggestions are actually meals. Tom’s response is one man’s meal is another man’s snack. Another says all Tom suggests is unhealthy. So today Tom says, have a boring salad with water! But says, don’t have time for that! Then says, love you guys! 

Scripture: 

Zephaniah 3: 17 The Lord your God in your midst, the mighty one will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing. Tom says we serve an amazing God!

Titus 2: 14, Who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for himself His own special people zealous for good works.

Israel said it delayed Iran strike after intelligence leak of attack plans. Israel said even though no potential targets were named in the leak it could help Iran predict certain patterns of the attack. Israel said it developed an alternative plan but needs to war game before proceeding. They said the leak of of American documents delayed the attack due to the need to change certain strategies. Said there will be a retaliation but taking longer than it was supposed to be.

Recent reports came out saying the IDF completed the prep and Air Force carried out several exercises. 

Tom says this news is all over the world today. Still saying on the verge of attack.  Tom wonders if they will do it today. 

According to foreign reports there is unusual moments of American and British ships in the Persian Gulf. 

Bubba shares about the Jewish day on the Hebrew calendar called Shemini Atzeret. It is Thursday October 24 at sunset. That day last year was on October 7, the day of Hamas terror attack. Bubba says if Israel attacks on the 24th it would serve to close a circle from the attack a year ago. Bubba said it would also serve as political points for Israel and Israel is ready. Time is imminent, the strike may begin today or anytime going forward.

An Iranian opposition organization reports a fire at the nuclear plants west of Tehran in Iran. Unsure yet of the reports.

Israel strike in Damascus, explosions heard.

Amir says since early this morning over 100 rockets from Lebanon to N. Israel. Alot of strikes near Beirut. Targeted a strike near Iran’s embassy. 

Hezbollah launched 50 rockets at Israel in just 2 minutes. Despite interceptions some did hit injuring 2 people.

IDF is hitting hard in S. Lebanon eliminating dozens of terrorists and striking over 160 targets. Troops uncovered Hezbollah’s hideouts packed with weapons. IDF also wiped out several terrorist cells. 

Israel has just exposed 6 Al-jazeera journalists as active Hamas and Palestinian jihad terrorists. Some are snipers, one runs Hamas rocket operations and another leads the propaganda machine. This is who is feeding information from Gaza.

Saudi Arabia and Iran are having war games and military exercises in the Sea of Oman. Saudi Arabia and Iran had broke ties in 2016 however they resumed them last year with a surprise China broker deal. Tom says because US leadership is weak. 

With IDF instructions and defiance of Hamas, thousands of Palestinians continue to leave N. Gaza. The IDF working there have killed many terrorists and arrested about 150. Evacuation notices in Lebanon are in consultation with the government of Lebanon who also wants to get rid of Hezbollah.

Amir shows a picture of a banner Islamic terrorists made and displayed in the middle of Tehran for the whole world to see. It’s bad, it shows the faces of the Israeli hostages captured on October 7 and says on it, no hostages will be released. 

At the Brics session yesterday Putin said the Middle East is on the brink of full scale war. Says the escalation between Israel and Iran is a major factor. 

During the meeting Venezuela leader called the meeting with Putin incredible and declared it a powerful alliance with Russia. He said Venezuela and Russia are on the same side of a new global multi polar order. 

Brics is the epicenter of major global changes they said.

At the meeting Putin presented a provisional bank note of the Brics single currency plans to introduce to the countries. Says the Brics currency is necessary to reduce Brics countries dependance on the dollar and the Euro and to move toward in fairer exchange of service and goods. A nightmare for Washington, London and Brussels. 

Tom says a New World Order is forming.

N Korea has sent thousands of troops to Russia. The West and Kyiv said it could turn into a major troop deployment to support Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. 

Russia and N. Korea boosted its alliance. N Korea supplying arms to Russia army.

Gospel:

Jesus left heaven to be the perfect sacrifice to rescue mankind from sin that keeps us from a Holy God. The only sacrifice that could take away all sins. 100% God, 100% man,  perfect, without sin. Took all sins upon Him on the cross, shed His blood that takes away all sins. 

Must realize our sins and need for a Savior. He gave us His all because He loves us and wants us to be in heaven with Him forever.

If you have Jesus you have everything, if you don’t have Jesus you have nothing.

Believe in Jesus and receive His forgiveness of sins past, present and future. Will be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed and rapture ready. Will go to heaven with the family of God with Jesus forever. 

Be saved today.
