June 4, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – Playing Ugly Games with Israel.

Tom says watching the ugly games with Israel is almost like the world is begging God for the curse, and it will come.

Scripture – God’s promise for your every need, the Bible is your stability.

1 Peter 1:23-25 .. the grass withers and the flower fades away but 

the Word of the Lord endures forever … Psalms 119:89 Forever His word is settled in heaven.

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away but my Word will by no means pass away.”

Ezekiel 12:25 – His word will come to pass.

Proverbs 4:20-22 “My son give attention to My words, incline your ear to My sayings, do not let them depart from your eyes.  Keep them in the midst of your heart.  For they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh.”   

Matthew 5:18. “Till heaven and earth pass away not one jot or tittle will by no means pass away from the law until all is fulfilled.”  

Tom says we got the law, tried it and failed.  He fulfilled it perfectly.  We trust in His atoning blood and work for our salvation.

God said to Abraham of the nation and people of Israel,  I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.  The world is playing games with Israel and sorry to say, a lot of it is the US.  It’s the last days. Tom says  If it went on too long we would be roasted by nukes, a smoking ash heap.  

US urges the UN Security Council to support ceasefire plan in Gaza without delay.  3 phase plan announced by Biden aimed at ending a nearly 8 month war in Gaza.  Freeing all hostages and sending massive aid to the devastated area.  Many governments including in the region endorse this plan.  

The brief draft resolution obtained by Associated Press would welcome the May 31 deal announced by Biden and call on Hamas to accept it fully and implement its terms without delay or condition.  Hamas says it views the proposal positively.  No mention of Israel acceptance of the deal.  When Biden made the announcement he called it an Israeli offer that includes an enduring ceasefire and Israel withdraw from Gaza if Hamas releases all hostages.  Tom says it wasn’t an Israeli deal.  

Amir says it is not Israel doing it, it has never agreed to end of the war before the elimination of Hamas.  Now brining it to the UN, a total betrayal.  Amir said Biden is lying.  Israel agreed to negotiate the conditions of a ceasefire but didn’t agree to it. Biden is doing everything he can publicly to tie Israel’s hands.

Israel Today – The proposal to the UN will probably become legal because without a US veto it is binding.    Would obligate Israel and Hamas to accept the terms of the plan unconditionally.  The problem.  Israel will feel compelled to comply but Hamas will not.   The history of the West for 50 years, Israel enemies never comply.  Israel has given up land.  

Tom says the land was turned into a terrorist place. 

Times of Israel – Huge fires all over Israel after rockets and drone attacks.  Over 30 firefighter crews working to extinguish the fires.  Led to the closure of several major roads in Galilee.

Amir said Hezbollah is well aware of the unusual heat wave and fires rockets to open areas so it will set fires.  Over 15 fires in the Galilee region and Golan.  A state of emergency in the north.  Citizens calling for help.

It is said these wars may signal a change and all out war with Hezbollah coming soon.  

Arab media reports UK and other Western nations have warned Lebanon of an impending Israeli military operation against Hezbollah. 

Israel war cabinet is to meet today to discuss situation on the northern border.

Israel News – the number of rockets fired into northern border of Israel for the month of May was 1,000. A record since beginning of the war.

Reports 8 Hamas police officers were killed in a targeted Israeli strike on their vehicle in central Gaza today.

Israel Today – IDF confirmed that 4 more Israeli hostages, all men, died in captivity.  The bodies still held by Palestinians in Gaza.  The number still living is dwindling fast. They think maybe 81, they don’t know.

Times of Israel – Jerusalem day marches will go through the Muslim quarter. It is a contentious flag march.  3,000 police will be called.  The parade to the Western wall that celebrates Israel’s reunification of East and West Jerusalem during 1967 6 day war.  Often sees flares ups of Jewish – Arab violence and hate speech.

Reports from satellites show over 1,000 aid trucks are stuck at Rafah crossing because Egypt won’t let them through. It is not reported in the news.

UN urges all states to recognize a state of Palestine.  Said to follow the example of 146 UN member states and to bring immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

7 Israel national  News – South Africa minister said in a mosque in Cape Town  America is next in line for prosecution.  Said countries that support Israel will be next in International Court.  Said those countries that continue to arm and fund Israel war machine will be liable for prosecution.  US Mike Johnson speaker of the house said America should punish ICC.  Said if it can threaten Israel leaders, America will be next.  

Politico – Russia warns US of fatal consequences if it ignores Moscow’s warning that Ukraine should not use weapons provided by Washington to attack Russia. Russia continues to threaten nuclear war on US homeland. 

Last 24 hour earthquakes. 32 over 4.0, 2 over 5.0.

Google lays off and terminates about 100 jobs. Sales, engineering, and  consulting. The  strategy, to focus on using AI.  

Another article, AI monitors and tracks food intake for diet managing.  Tom says,  how about water!

Business Insider – One University instructor, Ai expert predicts a 99.9% of chance of AI leading to human extinction.  Says no AI models so far has been safe.  He wrote a book called, Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable.   He compares humans to squirrels in the context of AI.  Says AI will come up with something we don’t even know exits yet. 

Testimony and comment –

Trying  to fill a hole with anything but Jesus, only Jesus can  fill that hole.  Has learned to trust and know He loves me and to hear His voice over any other.  It’s a battle as the enemy works against us. We need to walk in the strength of the Holy Spirit guided by His truth.  

Said the video with Pastor Carey gave her the push to surrender her life totally to Jesus.

Reads Revelation 21:4 – no more tears, death, sorrow, pain, it will pass away.

Gospel –

Think of a future like that.  It can be if we know Jesus as Savior.  The finish line is soon and we all need to finish strong. 

Warns of the 7 year tribulation. To be saved and escape that terrible time the worst like no other.  

Jesus came to earth fully God, fully man, the perfect sacrifice, Lamb of God.  Shed His blood to remove all sins forever.  Saved by grace through faith.

Must believe and receive and will be saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, born again and rapture ready.

Warns if reject, don’t accept, sins not forgiven, not go to heaven but hell.

Believe, be saved forever in heaven with Him and thank Him.
