July 13, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Breaking news from Israel. “Briefing”

Scriptures about prayer. 

Philippians 4: 6-7 “be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God and the peace that passes all understanding will guard you hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” 

It says to pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks. Tom says we can go boldly to His throne, He wants to hear from us.

News: the number 2, head of Kahn Yunis  brigade, said was either seriously wounded or killed in a strike by IDF in a civilian area surrounded by dozens of Hamas operatives. 70 others are said to have been killed. He was just second to Siwar, the leader. Says it shows Sinwar can be reached too. Says he has been on Israel’s most wanted list since 1995 for his involvement on the planning of a large number of terrorist attacks including many bus bombings in the 1990’s and 2000’s. Says he played a central role in October 7. His deputy may have also been killed. Big news. 

Today thousands are marching toward Israel demanding Israel agree to a ceasefire deal with Hamas. Blames Netanyahu for obstructing a deal.

More than 30,000 acres of land have been burned in N. Israel as a direct result of Hezbollah missile attacks. 

IDF finds massive amounts of weapons in UN relief and works agency headquarters. Drones, machine guns, rockets, grenades. Israel sent a letter to the organization with the names and ID numbers of 108 Gazan Palestinians aid workers who are proven to be Hamas and Islamic Jihad active terrorists.

Appears the normalization process between Saudi Arabia and Israel is on hold until after the US elections. Saying Israel won’t be held to any agreement that could stop it from attacking Iran. 

China says its conducting joint military drills with Russia along its S. coast. A US defense Western alliance met in Washington and Japan warned of a growing threat of China’s strong ties with Moscow. The exercises are called “The joint Sea 2024.” Lasts until the end of July. Says, “For regional peace and stability and partnership for the new world era.”

Seems China has been getting more aggressive. Perhaps sees the weakness in the White House. In recent days Chinese troops have been sent to Belarus for military exercises. Dozens of Chinese military aircraft have been threatening Taiwan. Chinese military vessels even detected off the coast of Alaska. 

California wildfires burned five times the average amount of land.

Gospel: Jesus is the only way to heaven. He was perfect and came to give His life, to shed His blood to forgive all our sins. Came to rescue us from all our sins to be able to go to heaven. 

Confess the need for a Savior and be saved today!
