June 12, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Israel is surrounded. Rapture and Tribulation

Scriptures:

Numbers 6: 24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you. Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. 

Only Jesus gives us peace.

Jeremiah 17: 7-8 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord. For He shall be like a tree planted by the waters which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes but its leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year of drought nor will cease from yielding fruit. 

Jeremiah 29: 11 For I know the thoughts I think toward you, thoughts of peace not of evil. To give you a future and a hope. 

Tom says the 7 year tribulation coming soon, don’t be left behind, go in the rapture. 

News:

Times of Israel: Top Hezbollah commander and 3 operatives killed in S, Lebanon strike. Large amount of rockets from Lebanon to Israel. The most senior member of the group killed of the 8 months. It has set off Hezbollah. 

Bubba News: high alert across N. Israel expected response from Hezbollah. Watching Tel Aviv and Beirut for possible strikes.

The threats all over in the news. Families are huddled in bomb shelters as hundreds of terrorists rockets rain down.

Amir: 4 top commanders were killed in attack in a house of a village. Says it is the most significant elimination of Hezbollah commanders in the last 15 years. Response expected. Reports that some spending the holiday at the Sea of Galilee are watching the rockets fall into open areas around the lake. Hezbollah said they launched the largest missile attack in Israel since 2006. While IDF is attacking in S. Lebanon Hezbollah is threatening to hit Haifa. 200 rockets yesterday in Israel from Lebanon. The border between Israel and Lebanon is internationally recognized.

Wall Street Journal: report messages that Sinwar has sent. Calls civilian deaths necessary sacrifices in the text on the context of national liberation battles.

Blinken said we came together in Jordan today to take action to help civilians in Gaza now. Says it’s time for everyone to step up, the US is doing its a part. We are giving an additional 404 million in new aid to Palestine. 

Someone from Israel commented back. Said, keep doing that to Palestinians and they thank you by burning US flags and taking US citizens as hostage. 

Israel Today: on the proposal it says Israel and Hamas agree but Hamas has flipped the proposed timetable. Rather than a hostage release followed by gradual withdrawals by Israel forces, Hamas wants IDF to fully withdraw and then talk of releasing hostages. Israel agrees only to withdraw and then talk of releasing hostages. Israel agrees only to withdraw from urban areas while maintaining a presence in Gaza and the ability to operate anywhere there when needed. Hamas demands a permanent ceasefire while Israel talks of temporary truce and remains determined to destroy Hamas as a military threat. UN outline by Blinken is vague on things which causes both sides to bring their own interpretation, why it won’t work.

Officials believe Hamas has now given orders to its men to immediately execute remaining Israel hostages if IDF is getting near the hostages to prevent any successful hostage rescues. They feel every hostage brought home is a major blow to the terror group. 

Fires continue in N. Israel.

Amir: Russian warships sailed into Atlantic and currently in a standoff with America and Canadian ships near Key largo Florida. 

Insider Paper: US ships carrying new hypersonic missiles shadowing Russian ships. Russian warships conducted drills in Atlantic as heading to visit Cuba. Part of Moscow’s efforts to project power in tensions with the West over Ukraine. 

Tom says Russia, China and Iran are together in these last days as we await our King who is coming to get us. 

A building in Kuwait caught fire and kiils 35 and many injured.

Many wildfires in Reno Nevada.

AI news:

Local journalist has been working in Ohio for 24 years. In 2023 her income dropped as some clients switched to Chat GPT for their writing needs. Then one email came and said they flagged her work as using Ai. She tried to respond that she doesn’t use Ai and no response. 

Another Ai: Ai is running for office in Britain. Ai Steve is running for a seat in the Parliament. A digital avatar of a real person, on the ballot this year running as an independent. Has a website that allows people to chat on Ai portal and submit policy suggestions. That’s too much!

Tom says Ai is spreading so fast in all areas, happening in the military, taking jobs. Says just about 1/1/2 years ago since the big release of Chat GPT. 

Testimony;

His father had a stroke and says when he was dying he saw people he knew but 2 middle age ones he didn’t know. These pushed through the crowd and hugged him crying out, grandpa. He was told it wasn’t his time to die yet and sent back. The son says he and his wife had 3 boys but 2 died as infants. It stuck them then that his sons are alive in heaven fully grown. Says looks forward to the rapture. Says imagine the joy when God’s Son returned to Him in heaven. The rapture is racing towards us and looking forward to family reunion.

Many feel stress and anxiety. Tom says run to Jesus and give it to Him and tell Him you love Him and ask Him to take it.

Gospel: 

Jesus came  to save us from all our sins. Left heaven to shed His blood, perfect sacrifice for all sins. The Creator of all things gave His life for us out of His great love to save us and spend eternity with us.

100% God, 100% man. Required payment for all our sins, saved by grace by faith, nothing we do or can do. 

Must admit of sins and need for a Savior. Believe, receive His forgiveness and be saved, born again, filled with His Holy Spirit, rapture ready. 

Warns if reject, don’t believe or  receive, sins not forgiven and will go to hell forever.

Be saved today, with Him forever in heaven, He loves us.
