A video is out that explains how the pager event came to pass.  It was a video by Leslie Stall and Israel Mossad. Said the operation started 10 years ago with weaponized walkie talkies in the batteries. These were made in Israel. This would go in a vest pocket near the heart. This was sold to Hezbollah without them knowing about this and they didn’t know it was from Israel. They gave fake adds on you tube promoting it. It became the best beeper product in the world. By September 2024 Hezbollah had 5,000 of these pagers in their pockets. On September 13, 3:30 the pagers started beeping all over Lebanon. A message prompted them to push 2 buttons that caused it to explode in their hands. Exploded without even pushing the buttons. The pagers exploded all at once. The next day the Mossad activated the walkie talkies that were dormant for 10 years. Some going off at the funerals of those that were killed by the pagers. About 30 died, 3,000 injured. Mossad said they have moved on to the next thing, said they will have to guess what is next. 

Zelensky said over 3,000 N. Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded fighting against Ukraine in Russia’s region. N. Korea has sent thousands of troops to reinforce the Russian military in that region. 

Musk start up X A.I. is said to have raised 6 billion from investors for his company with help from US firms and funds from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. 

Musk has repeatedly warned that A.I. poses a risk to human civilization but is pushing his forward, battling other competition. This start up company already has 50 billion dollar value, but Open A.I. has 157 billion value. 

Gospel:

Tom always reminds us that we need not fear any of these things. Jesus has it all in His eternal plan for the time when we will be with Him in heaven in the Father’s house He has prepared for us. And He will be coming to call us up in the clouds to take us to our home in heaven. Where we will be in new glorified bodies, without sin. Because He planned to make the way before the world ever was. Tom reads a comment today that says, Jesus took His place in a manger so we may have a home in heaven.

The plan of salvation was for the Son of God to come from heaven to earth as fully God, fully man, perfect, without sin. He gave His life so we may live forever. To receive that free gift must accept it. Realize our sin keeps us from heaven with a perfect God and a need for a Savior. Believe He died, shed His blood that had the power to remove every sin, past present and future forever. Have faith in what He did and tell Him you receive and will be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit and changed, a new creation.

The time of the 7 year tribulation is coming very soon and we will need to be taken to heaven with Jesus in the rapture. It could happen any day. 

Receive Jesus as your Savior, do not wait.  If reject Him and the payment for sins, will go to hell. 

Be saved today, will be in heaven with Jesus and the family of God forever. 

Thanking and worshipping Him in heaven for  coming on earth as a baby and coming back as King of Kings!
