Bubba: Israel is continuing to report they are preparing for a large scale attack by Iran bigger than October 1. Says this time from multiple countries not just Iran. Israeli intelligence says Iran could attack within the next 72 hours, possibly by Sunday. 

Bubba said it may be that the global elites want a major attack before or going into the election for maximum chaos.

US defense secretary Austin said the US Air Force is sending B52 bombers and navy destroyers to the Middle East. It could be they are expecting a strike from Iran or that Israel is to do a first strike. Reports that an aircraft carrier strike group is protesting to leave the arena. Israel has taken out radar and air defense systems and now has freedom of skies over Iran. 

US announced new Middle East deployments of ballistic missile defense systems and long range B52 bombers in warning to Iran.

Major General at the Pentagon said if Iran and the proxies use this moment to target US personnel or interests in the region the US will take every measure needed to defend. Israel is also preparing for a combined attack from Iran and the proxies which could be much larger. 

Iran is saying it could increase missile program and change their nuclear doctrine. Khamenei said it would change it if Tehran sees threats.

3 strikes from Lebanon to central Israel wounded 19 Israeli Arabs.

Tom reminds us we that belong to Jesus and have nothing to worry about. Keep our eyes on Jesus. The rapture is coming.

Gospel:

We are all sinners and in need of a Savior. God’s plan since before the beginning of time was to send His only begotten Son to save mankind. Required a perfect sacrifice and Jesus was the Lamb of God perfect without sin. He took all sins upon Himself to pay the price so we could have all our sins forgiven, forever. Will be able to go to heaven with a Holy God. 

When we admit of sins and need of a Savior, believing in all He did, we will be saved. Receive His forgiveness and will be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed and rapture ready. 

Be saved today. Forever with the family of God in heaven with Jesus.
