Watchman River Tom – April 12, 2024 – An Attack within 36 Hours

Another good day the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it!

They are saying all over the internet that Iran may attack between 24-48 hours.  Tom says 36 hours because that was 12 hours ago.  Will that happen?  We don’t know.

Scriptures about eternal life.

John 10:28-30 – I give them eternal life and they shall never perish, nor shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  My Father has given them to me…. I and My Father are one.  1 John 2:17 – we that belong to Jesus will abide forever. And John 3:16. 

2 Corinthians 4:17 – For our light affliction, but for a moment is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal  weight of glory.

Revelation 21:3-4 .. behold the tabernacle of God is with men, He will dwell with them and they shall be His people. God himself will be with him and wipe away every tear .. no more death, sorrow or crying, pain… former things passed away.

News

Wall Street Journal:  unnamed officials say Israel is preparing for a direct attack from Iran the next 24-48 hours. 

Tom  doesn’t think much will happen, doesn’t see it.  Thinks we are in Psalm 83 war, not Ezekiel 38.  Psalms 83 leads into the rapture and prepares for Ezekiel 38, after the rapture.

Time of Israel – Israel is on high alert for potential attack, have  prepared. 

Israel Today – much talk in Israel’s mainstream and social media of looming Iranian attack.  Believed Iran had already planned to attack but postponed due to high level of alert of Israeli’s and American defenses.  Also Iran fears major Israel and American retaliation if it launches an attack from Iranian soil.  More likely to use Hezbollah to strike Israel.   Israel told to prepare for war and US State Department warned employees to avoid travel outside Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.  US Embassy in Israel has prohibited government employees and families from traveling personally outside Tel Aviv and Jerusalem until further notice.  Those that have issued the travel warning is US,  Germany, France, UK, India and Russia.

Tom we don’t know how close is Iran to a nuclear bomb, they have been saying it for a long time.

Newsweek: a warning from Syria to Israel and US as the Middle East braces for Iran’s revenge on Israel.  Syrian mission to the UN told Newsweek of the countries condemnation.  Said what the Zionist entity did is not surprising as they are intent on killing and bloodshed and barbarian.    Tom says it’s hard to read this, after what happened October 7.

Insider Paper – China urges the US to play a constructive role in the Middle East after a top diplomat talked to Blinken on the phone.  Blinken used the call to ask Beijing to use its influence to dissuade Iran from striking Israel.

Amir said  according to reports this morning, US Defense Secretary Austin was furious with Galant that Israel did not inform the US beforehand of the  assassinations in Damascus.   On April 11 Israel planned something big in the north against Hezbollah.   The pre-operation update of the Americans led to their pressure on Netanyahu to be against it, which stopped it.  Now whoever carried out this Damascus operation knew it would be better for the Americans to know about it after the missiles were launched.

Y Net – aid from 600 trucks from Israel to Gaza stranded inside Gaza.  It is not coordinated or distributed.  The supplies are bottlenecked waiting for the UN staff to collect and distribute.

Anti-Israel rioters are planning a global economy disruption in 30 cities across 4 continents on April 15 in attempt to destroy the Jewish State.  Tom says the whole world is turned against Israel as prophesied in the very last days.

Tom says many Christians have turned on Israel, many viewers have left this channel.  Israel and the Jews are God’s nation and people, we don’t turn on them.  When we bless Israel we receive a blessing, cursed them, it becomes a cursing back. 

Insider Paper – After a historic meeting in Washington Japan, Philippines and the US slams China’s dangerous aggressive move in the South China Sea.

Thermal Power Plant near Kyiv in Ukraine was destroyed in a missile attack.  The largest power generating facility in the region.  Russia fired 42 missiles and 6 ballistic missiles, 40 combat drones.   Pray for the people.

EU’s only nuclear powered Navy is getting ready for war as concerns grow that combat is becoming increasingly likely. Global tensions have escalated in recent months as Russia – Ukraine war rages in Eastern Europe and conflicts in the Middle East, and Hamas – Israel war.  Attacks against Red Sea shipping have caused concern of the potential for a wider conflict involving the West.

Tom says we  don’t worry when we belong to Jesus.

Lightest earthquake day so far – 42 over 5.0, 1 over 4.0.

Blazing Press:  all over the internet saying the  Red Heifer sacrifice date is confirmed for April 22.

Says the Temple Mount Organization submits a formal request to conduct a Red Heifer sacrifice at AL Asqa mosque in Jerusalem on April 22.  

Tom is skeptical of the accuracy.  Not seeing it in main stream Israel news outlets, maybe they already sacrificed one, will see.

Clown World – 

Popular Science:  AI is in the schools.  Students world wide are using generative AI tools to write papers and complete assignments.  Teachers using similar tools to grade tests.  Around one in five high school aged teens who have heard about ChatGPT say they’ve already used AI tools.  ACT tests for college admissions say nearly half of high school students used AI to complete assignments.

Another – A new museum has a new display over telephone where it uses AI for a voice of an artist that has been dead for a long time.  Asks a questions and hears that voice answer it.

That’s unbelievable.  

Reads Psalms 40 as her testimony.  Says He sets her foot on a rock, He knows my name and I hear His voice.

Says the more we trust in Jesus the more fears and worries melt away.  

Says feels more emotional now when thinks of Jesus. Cries with worship music, hearing Tom share testimonies, sharing the Gospel, seeing God’s creation. Her  senses feel His presence, ready to go Home.

The false Gospel looks to self for salvation, the true Gospel looks to Jesus, choose wisely.

Gospel

So close to the rapture, time is running out to be saved.   To receive salvation for our sins through Jesus.  He came to die, shed His blood to remove all sins. 

Warns of hell when sins are not paid for. Need to receive  Jesus sacrifice for belief in Him for salvation.

Believe, be saved, receive the Holy Sprit, rapture ready, in heaven forever.

Admit of being a sinner, receive Him and thank Him.

Be saved forever, be saved today.

Today’s Scriptures:

John 10:28-30 KJV

[28] and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. [30] I and my Father are one.

1 John 2:17 KJV

[17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

John 3:16 KJV

[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

2 Corinthians 4:17 KJV

[17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 

Revelation 21:3-4 KJV

[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 

Psalm 83:1-18 KJV

[1] Keep not thou silence, O God: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. [2] For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: And they that hate thee have lifted up the head. [3] They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, And consulted against thy hidden ones. [4] They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. [5] For they have consulted together with one consent: They are confederate against thee: [6] The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; Of Moab, and the Hagarenes; [7] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; [8] Assur also is joined with them: They have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. [9] Do unto them as unto the Midianites; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: [10] Which perished at Endor: They became as dung for the earth. [11] Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: Yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: [12] Who said, Let us take to ourselves The houses of God in possession. [13] O my God, make them like a wheel; As the stubble before the wind. [14] As the fire burneth a wood, And as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; [15] So persecute them with thy tempest, And make them afraid with thy storm. [16] Fill their faces with shame; That they may seek thy name, O LORD. [17] Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: [18] That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, Art the Most High over all the earth.

Ezekiel 38:1-23 KJV

[1] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [2] Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, [3] and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [4] and I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: [5] Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: [6] Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. [7] Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. [8] After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. [9] Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. [10] Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: [11] and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, [12] to take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. [13] Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? [14] Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? [15] And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: [16] and thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. [17] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? [18] And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. [19] For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; [20] so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. [21] And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. [22] And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. [23] Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
