NOTES: Tom suggests have eggnog and an English muffin with a lot of butter and hang out with an old friend and a fellow servant of the Lord. Let’s get busy.

Today is the 4th and final day of the agreement. They are hoping to extend the ceasefire.

Tom shares Scriptures about the nearness of the Lord. 

Psalm 16:11 In Your presence is the fullness of joy. At Your right hand are pleasures forever more.

Tom says that’s the only place to find joy. No joy looking at the news headlines.

Ephesians 7:13 We have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 

1 John 4:13 We abide in Him and Him in us because He has given His Spirit.

Isaiah 55: 6   Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. 

I Chronicles 16: 11 Seek His face forevermore.

Psalm 34: 17-18 The righteous call upon Him while He is near and delivers them from all their troubles.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 May the Lord give you peace always, in every way. 

Philippians 4: 5 Let your gentleness be known to all man. He is at hand.

The Lord is so close. All the signs are so close and then Israel gets into this war. Tom is noticing something watchmen are saying, hearing it from people in the comments over the weekend. They say, I think the sudden destruction is the rapture. Tom is studying on it.

News:

Insider Paper: Hamas was delaying hostage release but then just before the deadline at midnight

released them. Yesterday was smoother. The little 4 yr old girl Abigail whose parents were murdered in front of her, was released. She was from New York and is in Israel now.

7 Israel news-: Will ceasefire continue? The cabinet discusses extension of ceasefire for several more days to allow release of more hostages. Mondays release was to be the final.

Times of Israel: Hamas desires extension. For each extra 10 hostages and Palestinian prisoners back to Hamas. Saying Israel is up to 10 days total then offensive resume with full force.

Amir:  Egypt said 4 more days of ceasefire will be signed soon in return for 20 more released.

Times of Israel – IDF chief says after this lull the firing will begin again.

Tom says they are already getting so much pressure from the world to stop the war. Peace and security every day.

Times of Israel:  Hamas using tactics to split up family members for release to delay the ceasefire. Israel received the list of the final hostages to be released today. Article says 6 of the 9 children released yesterday had one or both parents murdered by Hamas on Oct. 7 and some of the kids only found out yesterday, Pray. And, Lord come get us. He is.

Israel today:  From Syria, Damascus airport hit again. Tom laughs, again. At least 10 times this year. Fix it and it gets hit again.

Over the weekend alot of pro Hamas, Pro Palestinian demonstrations.  One in NYC, bringing traffic to a halt at Manhattan bridge. Also in Sydney Australia.  Also reported that protestors were in front of Netanyahu’s house demanding resignation. Tom says many things coming out about Netanyahu. Some said he was informed about a year ago about this. Report says a million in Indonesia demonstrated In support of Haza. In London pro Israel march with tens of thousands. A New York city teacher was forced into hiding after students came after her when they heard she had attended pro Israel rally.

Powerful hurricane in Turkey. Flooding in Maylasia. Powerful storms in Crimea. Waves in Russia huge. Tom says some of the worst videos with all these storms. Last 48 hours 77 earthquakes over 4.0 and 16 over 5.0.

Ai News. Business Insider says school children are using Ai image generators to create indecent fake images of classmates. Very sad what kids have to put up with today. Tom says when he was little he was picked on a lot, kind of a geeky kid.  But at the end of the day he was home. Now they have it all day, then have social media and now Ai. Come back Lord.

From Brother Keegan. Tom uses his telegram a lot. Leaves link. He  says in this so called cease fire Iran knows it will be reloading its proxies by Damascus, all eyes on Damascus. This dispensation of the Age of Grace could very well end where it all began through Paul in Damascus in our rapture. The call of Asaph in Psalm 83 asking God not to be silent, to ask this Divine intervention. As the days of Noah the days of the church age will be shut ,the trumpet will sound and we will be caught up. Tom says he never fears about being face to face with Jesus. Knows He loves us.

Tom says can’t wait for that day. Don’t know what our reaction will be. Fall at his feet, or hug Him, what a day that will be!  

Says, I may fall down but I won’t quit. I may be weak but He is strong. The weapons may form but they won’t prosper, I am a warrior, I am a child of the living God.

Says in Hosea 6:2 after 2 days the will revive us, and the 3rd day He will raise us up and we shall live in His sight. We are in the 3rd day. Tom says a day is as 1,000 years and its been 2,000 years. Revive us on the 3rd day. We are right there.  

Gospel:

In the O.T. once a year was a sacrifice of an animal’s blood for forgiveness of sins. Jesus went to the cross to shed blood because He’s the Lamb of God. This was the one time payment of God for sin. To take care of every sin ever committed. The best I love your story.

Just believe in what He did, the finished work. Saved, filled with Holy Spirit, spend eternity with Him.

Some don’t accept, reject. Their sins not forgiven will go to hell,

Repent, going from unbelief to belief. Don’t put it off. Today is the day of salvation, We could be raptured today.

[1] Keep not thou silence, O God: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. [2] For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: And they that hate thee have lifted up the head. [3] They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, And consulted against thy hidden ones. [4] They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. [5] For they have consulted together with one consent: They are confederate against thee: [6] The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; Of Moab, and the Hagarenes; [7] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; [8] Assur also is joined with them: They have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. [9] Do unto them as unto the Midianites; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: [10] Which perished at Endor: They became as dung for the earth. [11] Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: Yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: [12] Who said, Let us take to ourselves The houses of God in possession. [13] O my God, make them like a wheel; As the stubble before the wind. [14] As the fire burneth a wood, And as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; [15] So persecute them with thy tempest, And make them afraid with thy storm. [16] Fill their faces with shame; That they may seek thy name, O LORD. [17] Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: [18] That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, Art the Most High over all the earth.
