August 5, 2024 – Watchman River Tom A world in chaos, we are there!

Scriptures: Psalm 91, about our protection. He is with us. 

Luke 21: 28 Jesus says, look up, lift up your heads, your redemption draws near. 

Tom is passionate today about the seriousness we see in this world. The rapture is any moment. Tom says it is so critical to keep in the Word, in constant communion with the Lord, eyes on Jesus. Tom says things look different today, says we are there. Major events. The world anticipates a major attack on Israel. Stock markets in trouble. 

Israel:

Some foreign airlines have cancelled its flight at the site of the Olympics in fear of conflict with Israel and Iran.

Biden is holding talks with national security team. Talking with Jordan’s king after Jordan’s FM traveled to Iran to urge end of escalation. 

Israel states it will consider preemptive strike  if it uncovered airtight evidence that Iran was preparing an attack. 

Reports say Western intelligence claim Iran plans to attack on August 12-13, the day of Israel set aside for mourning of the destruction of their first and second Temple.

Reports Iran brought 6 trucks loaded with advanced missiles from Iraq into Syria.

Pentagon deputy Kirby says Iran is serious  and they must be prepared to protect America and Israel. Says when the supreme leader of Iran threatens Israel they must take it seriously. 

This weekend Netanyahu said this: Iran and its mouthpieces seek to surround them with a stronghold of terror in 7 fronts. Says open aggression is insatiable but they are determined to stand up against them in any distant arena. Says anyone who harms our citizens will pay a heavy price. Longhand strikes in Gaza Strip, Yemen, Beirut whenever necessary. 

Saudi Arabia urged its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. They state they will intercept any missiles in their airspace. Jordan also protests any assumed use of its airspace. 

Say Biden is heading to the “situation room.” ( It is an area in the White House for dealing with crisis with advanced communication systems to maintain command and control of US forces around the world. It is not the Presidential Emergency Operations center which is a bunker under the East wing of the White House.)

Reports Israel struck a power station in S. Lebanon. 

Just happened, Hamas fired 15 rockets from Gaza at S. Israel likely wounding one Israeli man.

Bubba report: comments how many times we have heard Iran could attack Israel in 24-48 hours? The secretary of state told counterparts and the G7 the US is trying to limit attacks by Iran and Hezbollah as much as possible and restrain Israel’s response. Bubba says but once the firecracker is lit there will be little to no restraint on either side. Israel and the US have no idea how or when Iran will attack unlike last time when they telegrammed the US and gave it notice. Bubba says Iran is out to kill and in this coming attack, war seems inevitable. Bubba says once this kicks off he feels the crashing markets will take a back seat of the Middle East. Prophecy in action, the King is coming, come Lord Jesus! Psalm 121: 4, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber or sleep. 

The stock market:

Japan’s stock market said the worst single day of losses in its history. Taiwan’s stock market had the worst day in 57 years. Saudi Arabia had similar losses. 

24 hour reports: Google down 11%. Amazon  10%, Microsoft  9%, Apple, 10%, Meta 10% and Tesla 10%. Bitcoin over 16%, cryptocurrency severe downturn. 

Crashing markets across the globe and the US fears recession spark a selloff in International markets. Oil down, crypto down and stocks down.

Other news around the world:

Bangladesh:

Today after thousands of deadly protests stormed the PM palace demanding she quit, she resigned and had to flee the country by helicopter. 

Report civil unrests are spreading across cities in England. People feel threatened. Someone in the comments to Tom asked for prayer. Says in UK the violence is erupting everywhere.

Amir said  Malaysia and Nigeria  ordered  a travel warning to tell its citizens to avoid the areas in the UK of areas of protests. 

Senior Russian security council secretary went to Tehran due to concerns of a wider war in the region. 

Weather: 

Hurricane Debbie makes landfall in Florida with life threatening storm surge, damaging winds and severe flooding. Power out for hundreds of thousands of people. The Southeast is bracing for the potential of historic levels of rain and major flooding. Much need of prayer. 

Tom says he has been coming to this river for 28 months and has seen this family grow so much. So much love and prayer. Tom says the Lord has been using this ministry of all of us to change hundreds of lives, maybe thousands. 

Gospel: 

Now we are so much closer to His coming for us. If not saved need to be saved now. Admit of being a sinner and need of a Savior. Believe in what He did to save all mankind. He died, shed His blood so we could be forgiven and could go to heaven to be with Him. Without believing and receiving will not be saved. Believe, receive, and will be born again, filled with Holy Spirit and rapture ready. A free gift. He loves us. Be saved today forever with Him in heaven.

Today’s Scriptures:

Psalm 91:1-16 KJV

[1] He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust. [3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence. [4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. [5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [6]  Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. [8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold And see the reward of the wicked. [9] Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, Even the most High, thy habitation; [10] There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. [12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. [13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. [15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. [16] With long life will I satisfy him, And shew him my salvation.

Luke 21:28 KJV

[28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 

Psalm 121:4 KJV

[4] Behold, he that keepeth Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
