May 21, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Oh my, we are in the last days!  ICC and Israel.

The Lord has given us another good day to serve Him as we await the pre-tribulation rapture of the church which is coming very soon.

Too much going on for recommending a snack, but maybe a Turkey leg and a moxie!

Scriptures of being over-comers.

John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

1 John 5:4 – our faith, the victory that overcomes the world.

1 Corinthians 15:57. Victory is through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:37 “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

Tom says the battle has already been won.

1 John 4:4. “He who is in you is greater than He who is in the world.”  The Holy Spirit. 

Revelation 3:21. “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne”.

Revelation 3:5. “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments and I will not blot out his name from  the Book of Life.    But I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.” 

Tom says our future, if you belong to Him, is amazing and not far off.

News –

International Criminal Court is looking to give arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Galant. Also Hamas terrorist leader Sinwar and another.

The  crimes accused of Israel.   Using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.  And intentionally directing attacks against civilian population, etc.

Galant speaks in his and Israel’s defense, says paralleling with Hamas terrorist organization is despicable. Says the state of Israel is not part of the court and does not recognize its authority.  

France, Belgium and Spain send message of support of arrest warrants.

Amir says London hurried to publish objections.  British Foreign Minster said The Hague has no juristriction in this case as it is not in Rome convention and Palestinians are not a state.    Austria opposes as well.  Said how do they mention leaders of Israel and Sinwar in the same breath.

Biden  said there is no comparison to Israel with Hamas and  will stand with Israel when it defends itself.    Tom says talks both sides of the mouth.

Amir reports the  US says there is significant breakthrough on the road to normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, almost finalized.   But look closer, reads from Israel Today.

Says this is delusional and it won’t work.  Includes Israel will agree to end the war for release of all hostages. But Hamas says first is withdraw of Israel forces, then the release of hostage.  It means many more weeks of captivity of the hostages.  Also all military pressure removed from Hamas so have to just assume they will free the terrorists.

Also, the subject of a Palestinian State be required by Israel. 

Next Israel will develop a method for governing Gaza following the war that is not IDF military administration or Hamas regime. 

But says it’s delusional. Says if IDF withdraws who will force Hamas out of power?  Do Americans think Hamas will give up willingly?

Americas “promises” protect Israel from Iran.

But recalls remember what has happened in history when things were given over to the Palestinians. 

America promises to push harder with the conflicts in Hezbollah so North Israel can return to Israel.   

But they fail to understand this is a religious war.  Hezbollah exists only for the purpose of destroying Israel.

Says Americans hope Israel will be duped into agreeing with all the above by the prospect of normalization with Saudi Arabia.  Peace with Saudi Arabia is desirable to all Israelis, but after October 7 very few are not willing for mortal risks for peace.

Most Israeli leaders in the past 48 hours have rejected the notion of exchanging Palestinian State for peace with Saudi Arabia.  Including the “darling” of Biden Administration war cabinet minister Benny Gantz.  

Israel Radar – IDF estimates intensive combat in Gaza will continue until October 2024 with Hezbollah to erupt by September at the latest.

Times of Israel – IDF reports Hezbollah coastal rocket commander was killed in a drone strike yesterday.  

IDF reports 700 tunnel shafts have been discovered in Rafah.  Some cross into Egypt.

Egypt Israeli deputy attorney general explained the finding at International Criminal Court of Justice.   He  said in Rafah is an intricate underground tunnel infrastructure that runs underneath the city and provides ample space for operators command and control rooms and military equipment.

Israel Today – IDF troops in Gaza report huge amounts of weapons are found in every house, no innocent bystanders.

Heavy fighting between Israel and terrorists in North Samaria town.  Says IDF troops have hit at least 30 armed terrorist and 5 died.

Insider Paper – Putin called Iran’s leader  an outstanding politician and he is an irreplaceable loss.  Iran has become one of Russias key political allies since start of Russia Ukraine war in 2022.  Supplies drone technology.

Last 24 hour earthquakes – 50 over 4.0, 9 over 5.0.

Flight from London to Singapore with extreme turbulence, one actually died in the plane.

Clown World – 

Blazing press – European banks began switching to digital cash to fight climate change!  Ha!  To eliminate physical cash!  Ridiculous, have to laugh.  

Another Insider Paper – 16 top AI firms make new safety commitments at South Korea summit.  Safe, how? Tom says if they don’t the planet may start warming up, more climate change! Ha! 

Reports that Krause Schwab, founder of World Economic Forum is stepping down.

Another story that attempts were made to fund AI from becoming more powerful than humans but the project failed.

Comments – reading God’s word will bring release from anxiety, fear, impatience and anger.  It brings abundance of fruits of the spirit of joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.  Your relationship with God will set the tone of every other relationship in your life when we fix out eyes on Jesus and walk in His ways.  We will see how everything changes and our relationship in Jesus grow.  

Excited about going Home!

Gospel

We are excited,  can’t wait.  Pray for those that may watch these, to choose the most important choice.

To  believe Jesus came to die for all sins to bring salvation.  The King came in love to come to earth as a man and fully God.  Fulfilled the law, perfect sacrifice.  Shed His blood on the cross to remove every sin.  But need to believe to receive.  If reject, don’t believe, sins won’t be forgiven and go to hell forever.

Believe in what He did, died, buried and rose the 3rd day.  Will be saved, born again, with Holy Spirit, rapture ready, to be with Him forever, in heaven.

Believe today, be saved forever.
