August 13, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Ceasefire peace talks, the world waits!

Scripture about peace. Psalm 28: 7. The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will praise Him.

Tom says when we belong to Jesus we have nothing to fear right now because we are about to be face to face with Him. 

Israel News: 

1,000 to 1,400 they say, religious Jews gather with Ben Gvir at the Temple Mount for prayers on the 9th of Av. Palestinians attempted to prevent them from going up. The Palestinian media is saying this is an invasion of thousands of Zionists. 

Ben Gvir responds. He says the Jews are praying in the most holy place. He says, this is my Israel. 

Netanyahu responds to Gvir. He tells Gvir he doesn’t get to set policy on this matter. Says this matter of the Temple Mount violates the status quo. Says Israel has fear that allowing the Jews to have full religious freedom will upset the Muslim world. 

Gantz replies and says to Netanyahu that he doesn’t trust his partners and they don’t trust him. Accuses him of lawlessness and desire for political survival. He told Netanyahu it was a weak condemnation of Gvir who he says provokes and and only does harm.

Givr supports his actions. He says we are here on the 9th of Av to remember the destruction of the Temple Mount with prayer. Says he has come to the Temple Mount to pray for the return of the hostages and peace of soldiers and victory in this war. Givr says he recalls when he planned to go up on another Jewish holy day, Sukot, and a senior security official asked him not to and he respected his request. He says even though it was clear to him an attack from their enemy is an attack against their existence. Says, then a week later October 7 happened. Now again today the security officials say that will cause the enemies to go against Israel. He says, but October 7 to him proves Hamas and Hezbollah do not need an excuse to massacre us. Givr feels his position as minister of national security is not to back down but demonstrates sovereignty with all our might. 

Jordan has authority over that site. They strongly condemned this gathering at the Temple Mount.

Amir says he feels Israel is showing courage. 

US warns of severe response if Iran transfers missiles to Russia. US says they have been in touch with European allies that report Iran is planning to deliver hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia. 

Tom says the perfect storm like never before. The very last days, we are waiting for the rapture.

Iran repeats it will retaliate for the killing of the two leaders and vows to avenge the deaths. 

Ceasefire peace talks are scheduled for Thursday July 15. Hamas says he will not go. But for the first time Iran is talking of sending a representative who will be involved behind the scenes with background communications with the US during the talks.

Iran and Hezbollah say they are setting up prep for striking Israel. Lebanese media says Hezbollah has entirely evacuated its headquarters in Beirut. Gallant spoke with Austin and told him Iran’s military preparations suggest Iran is ready for a large scale attack on Israel. 

UK, France and Germany warn Iran not to prevent ceasefire hostage talks. 

Reports that Iran has prepped missile drone attacks just like it did in April. 

Iran officials say the attacks may be put off and it would happen only if a truce falls apart. 

So now it appears Iran is saying it is holding off until after Thursday. Says Iran and allies such as Hezbollah will only direct an attack if Gaza talks fail or Israel drags negotiations.

Gospel:

There is an urgency for the Gospel. Time is short. Believe in Jesus for salvation, the only way to heaven. 

Believe He died, shed His blood and rose the 3rd day. Admit of being a sinner and in need of a Savior. Will be saved, born again and filled with Holy Spirit ready for when He comes in the clouds to take us to be with Him. 

Be saved today, forgiven forever and forever in heaven.
