NOTES: Tom wasn’t going to recommend a food, but if he would he says, hot coffee or cream soda and grilled cheese. Not just ordinary grilled cheese with 2 pieces of bread slapped together with cheese in-between but his own recipe. Says have an assortment of cheese, Havari, American or Cheddar and on the outside mayo, not butter. Slap the sandwich into freshly grated Parmesan cheese then put on a hot skillet, its good!

Scripture about Jesus being our companion. 

Proverbs 18: 24 Jesus, a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Tom says he loves that Jesus calls us His friends. 

Hebrew 13: 5 He never leaves us or forsakes us. John 15: 15-16 called us friends, says I chose you. Tom says He whispers our name.

1 John 1:7 the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 

Revelation 3: 20,  Psalm 27: 10 when others fail, He takes care of us.

News:

Yesterday Iran started firing off missiles in Iraq and Syria. Tom says the tensions in the Middle East are rising. Keeps escalating, to the rapture. 

Iran targeted 2 locations, one in Iraq claimed to be used by Israel intelligence. One at a Syrian city that was a base for ISIS militants.  Explosions reported nearby Iraq consulate. 

Insider Paper: Iraq summons Iran representative over missile strike. Iraq condemns the attack. Says not with International law which Tom says no one pays attention to. Iran defended the strike in Iraq and Syria. After the strikes Iraq recalled its ambassador from Iran. 

Tom says Iran is acting, not its proxies. See where this goes. Cargo ships still being hit. A Greek cargo ship was hit by a missile of Yemen in S. Red Sea.

Tom says the name Houthi sounds like a candy bar! Maybe with nuggets and peanuts, like a Snickers bar.

Houthis attacked a US navy destroyer in the Red Sea. Yet the Houthis are becoming popular. Tom says, Lord come get us soon please. 

Israel Today: Gallant said the fighting in Gaza had calmed down. But then more than 50 rockets fell into S. Israel. 

Times of Israel:  said Israel commander says Israel is more prepared than ever for escalation  with Hezbollah.

Amir said IDF now carrying out the strongest and most powerful wave of attacks since the beginning of the war in S. Lebanon. Heavy bombing in Khan Yunis. 

Tom says S. Africa is terrible to its people. An article says S. Africa is planning to take US and UK to international court of justice for assisting genocide. Tom says he has alot of viewers in S. Africa. Awesome people. 

Tom says N. Korean leader never wants to be left out of attention. He said Monday  it tested a new solid fuel intermediate range missile tipped with hypersonic warheads designed to strike US targets in the region. 

Tom reminds us Jesus is in control. His handle is on the door, coming to get us soon. We rest in Him. Must know Jesus.

Floods and landslides in Rio de Janerio,  a month’s worth of rain.  11 died. Extreme cold in parts of the US.

Past 24 hour earthquakes: 41, 4.0 and above, and 6, 5.0 and above. 

Tom says we have heard for months all the WEF craziness. Eat bugs, phone wired to knuckles. The leader of WEF Schwab said yesterday it is time to build trust and cooperation with each other. Ha! Says renew old bonds ( like a Christmas carol!) Says the world is more divided and fragmented and unprecedented risks in technology. Tom says, no thanks, I’ll just have water. Clown world.

Business Insider: researchers developed a tool that can closely imitate ones handwriting style. But say they are being cautious because it could be used for forgery. Ha! Tom says we knew there would be mockers and scoffers, famines and earthquakes. Says he didn’t realize there would be some humor in it!

Bloomberg headlines: headlines: what is disease X. How scientists are preparing for the next pandemic. Tom says more accurate would be, how scientists are preparing the next pandemic. We are hearing about it. Will use a lot of it when we are gone. 

Testimony: remembering when they were saved. Says when they heard the Gospel it was like the foggy glasses were removed and it was a whole new world she never knew.

Another said when she was young at a church service heard the song, softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, with the invitation. It was like looking up at the foot of the cross at Jesus dying for her. Knew even if she was the only one He would have died for her. Saved, baptized. Now 81 and thanks Him daily and praises Him. Now waits every moment of the day of His soon return in the clouds to take us Home. Says, Tom keep telling the wonderful news of the Gospel. 

Comment: many responded yesterday about the healing power of the Gospel. The amazing release of forgiving.  Tom says it can have a grip on us. Jesus wants us free. 

Says Jesus is coming soon. We will rule and reign with Him.

Forgiveness is letting go and not reconciliation. Some instances are really bad. God will seek justice better than us. 

Tom says this world is getting so dark. The Gospel is getting brighter. People all over the world are coming to Jesus. The final harvest. 

Gospel: 

Imagine the future of the believer in the place He has been preparing for us for 2,000 years. Jesus, the creator, for eternity. 

How can some refuse? Not even look into it? They will not be with Jesus. Go to hell with sins not forgiven.

Must have sins forgiven. Need to believe and receive His finished work. He died and rose on the 3rd day. Believe, be born again, rapture ready. Only Jesus saves by His gift. Tom pleads, choose Jesus today.

I have always believed and always had faith. My mom made sure we knew Him. I was lost to this world for about 20 years. He started speaking to my heart about 6 years ago. Though I am yet a sinner, I am His. Lord Jesus is my everything.

@GrammyGhee

Saved at 9 years old in 1972. Had a rapture dream soon after, the only one I’ve ever had. I’ve been watching ever since and I’ve never been more excited as I see all the signs converging. Looking forward to meeting all of you soon! Keep watching family, the trumpet is about to sound. Maranatha!
