December 30, 2024 – Israel’s SECRET RAID On Iran’s Missile Production…

Scriptures on gentleness. 

Galatians 5: 22-23 “ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self control, against such there is no law”.

Colossians 3: 12 

“Therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering.”

Israel carried out a secret raid on Iran’s missile factory in Syria. The target was an underground site to disrupt Iran’s missile program and stop weapons from reaching Hezbollah. US was informed of it before they went in which indicates cooperation between the 2 countries. 

Tom says we wonder how long until Israel goes after Iran’s nuclear areas. Breaks the bow of Elam. Many are saying now it the most opportune time. Hitting high value targets and setting the stage for the 2nd Trump administration.

IDF chief of staff said its military has won a clear victory over Hezbollah but the true victory would only be when Israel’s North is revived. Nearly 70,000 Northerners remain displaced. The government granted an aid package to fund evacuation. They estimate they will not be able to return until the end of February.

Tom says will they move back when they say peace and safety? Maybe the time of the rapture. 

Amir says Houthis took down another American reaper drone, the 13th. 

Temple Mount authorities report a doubling in the number of Jews ascending to the Temple Mount during the holidays. It was open to the Jews. Over 600 Jews ascended the first 2 days, this was double the number.

Tom says the Jews want the 3rd Temple. They are being more bold going after the proxies. Daniel 9: 27 will allow them to built it, after the rapture. 

Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on the verge of collapse. Hezbollah accuses Israel of exploiting fragile ceasefire as Israel targets S. Lebanon terror infrastructure. Lebanon warns of the collapse and Hezbollah hints it may intervene if Israel’s operations persist and threaten renewed conflict in the region. 

Businesses in Iran’s capital city shut down as protest against Iran’s collapsing economy. The region’s grip is slipping, people won’t stay silent. There are protests in the city, shopkeepers shut down.

Tom says many countries are in trouble, US, China, and Russia.

Netanyahu had prostrate surgery yesterday. After surgery sent to an underground secure section of the hospital until released.

Israel Today says IDF reported to media  they captured 240 Hamas Islamic jihad terrorists. Then Reuters changed it and said Israel detains 240 Palestinians, including medics after hospital raid. Cannot trust the media. 

Hezbollah is already violating ceasefire agreement by attempting to reestablish itself in the border region of S. Lebanon. Israel is monitoring Hezbollah and the smuggling of weapons as neither Lebanon’s army or UN peacekeepers attempt to do so. Israel is hesitant to pull out of S. Lebanon because the Lebanese army is deploying too slowly and Hezbollah is trying to reestablish itself in the border. 

Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100, the oldest living president in the history of the country. He was a democrat, peanut farmer. Served between 1977- 1981.

Arrest warrant for S.Korea president, anti corruption investigation. 

N. Korea had a 5 day meeting. Slammed the growing ties between S. Korea, US and Japan, saying it had expanded into a military block for aggression. 

A plane flying from Thailand to S. Korea crashed Sunday. Samshed into a barrier and exploded into flames killing everyone on board. Pray.

At least 2 died and over 600,000 without power due to severe thunderstorms and tornados the the Southeast US, Texas Mississippi and other areas in the Southeast. 

Storms and strong waves hit Peru, Ecuador. 

60 ft waves off California coast.

There are over 2 billion credit card holders. ATM’s diminish in importance as people turn to digital alternatives. In Sweden and S. Korea they move toward cashless society. 

Tom had a message from a brother in Christ sharing 2 Scriptures. Mark 13: 27 and 1 Corinthians 15: 52. About the rapture. His name is Marty. 

He says he is 60 years old, born again since he was 17. Says since July 17, 1981 he has eagerly awaited the coming of Jesus for 43 years. Can definitely say he has never been more convinced the Trump of God will sound at any moment and the greatest homecoming in history will suddenly be a reality. Instantly with our loved ones, peace, beauty, care free forever. The mansions, the river of God, 12 gates of the city, heroes of the faith, angelic hosts, streets of gold, the throne of God. See Jesus with nail scarred hands. He paid it all and soon and very soon we are going to see the King!

Gospel: that is what Marty is talking about. When we believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross, by faith we receive forgiveness of every sin, past present and future. He shed His blood, the perfect sacrifice as He was without sin.  Admit of being a sinner and need for a Savior and will be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed, a new creation. Will be in heaven like Marty described. 

Don’t reject, don’t delay. Like Marty said, he is convinced the rapture is at any moment. Without receiving forgiveness still remain in sin and cannot be in heaven with a Holy God but will go to hell.

Be saved today, will not be on earth during the 7 year tribulation.  Will be in heaven when that trumpet calls, forever with Jesus and the family of God.
