September 30, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – The Eve Of October, Are We Going Home?

Scripture about our Redeemer.

He blots out our transgressions. He says return to Me for I have redeemed you.

Tom says so many things happened  in September. So much prophetic events. Never seen a time period like this.

Tom reviews the latest events with Israel. The advancements they have made, God’s hand on the nation. But hard times are coming for Israel. The covenant with many and the antichrist. The tribulation could start at anytime. 

Tom talks about the speech Netanyahu made Friday at the UN meeting. At one point Netanyahu showed 2 maps of the region. With them he put over one, blessing and the other side, curses. Says 2 choices that would shape our future. One, blessing of peace and prosperity for Israel and our Arab partners and the rest of the world. 

The other side, the curse. Iran and its proxies that spread carnage and chaos everywhere.

Netanyahu said Israel has already made its choice. To advance its blessing and build a partnership for peace with Arab neighbors while fighting the forces of terror that threatened that peace for nearly a year. Says to truly realize the blessing of a new Middle East we must continue the path paved with the Abraham Accords 4 years ago. Says above all this means achieving a historic peace agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Tom says with the things like the talk of “peace accord” and other things and the Feast of Trumpets this week it looks like the perfect storm. It is like we hear rumbling and see dark clouds. All the signs are there and Israel is in trouble. 

Tom says back in the 80’s most teachers who taught the pre tribulation rapture thought it would happen at Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets. Says it wasn’t until the 90’s heard people say other times of the year. Tom says the world is ready for the antichrist, cries for Mr. Fix it, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes and Israel in chaos. 

Look up, we know Jesus comes in His perfect time. 

News:

Yesterday Israel Air Force struck Houthis military targets in Yemen. The targets, a power plant and a sea port used to import oil. It was used by Houthis to transfer Iranian weapons to the region and military support in oil. 

Amir says Israel is now attacking forcefully in Yemen. Israeli fighter jets struck Yemen port and missile assets. Says it shows Israel is capable of reaching into Iran at a similar distance. 

This follows the 3 attacks of Houthis to Israel’s firing ballistic missiles to Israel’s territory the last 2 weeks. Because of that hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens have gone to the protected areas of Israel in central Israel.

Amir said the IDF is practicing in real time in front of the entire world at the expense of Houthis for upcoming attack on Israel. There is logic in the chaos. Israel is neutralizing proxies leaving Iran defenseless in their absence. Caught Iran off guard. No chance Netanyahu will stop until Hamas and Hezbollah are eliminated and Iran’s nuclear threat is neutralized. Biblical times indeed.

Times of Israel: Russia, Turkey, Hamas and others blast Israel’s killing of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah. Yemen Houthis say killing strengthens their determination. Erdogan from Turkey calls on the UN to stop Israel. Syria calls Beirut strike despicable aggression. 

Hezbollah vows to keep fighting Israel even after Nasrallah killed, says in support of Gaza. Plans to select new leader. Even though the past week large number of Hezbollah top leaders were killed. 

Israel Today: Israel’s defense minister Gallant said killing Nasrallah was an important step but not the end. Will restore residents of the North securely to their homes. Strong hint of ground war in Lebanon.

Israel 7 national news gives the story of how Israel tracked Nasrallah. A substance on Nasrallah’s hand facilitated tracking him. Saudi news channel said a man who came from Iran shook Nasrallah’s hand smeared it with a substance that Israel could track. Tom says that is incredible. 

Amir: Arab media reports the brother of the president of Syria has been killed. Says he was in a building that was attacked earlier today near Damascus. He was a commander in the Syrian army and Iran’s proxy, enabler of Hezbollah in Syria. 

Also report the person responsible in Hezbollah for the crossing  operations at the border between Lebanon and Syria was killed. 

Tom says he remembers reading about the supernatural things during the wars of Israel in 1967 and 1973. They saw how God’s hand was on Israel. Says seeing it strongly with Israel now again, God guiding. 

Parliament speaker in Lebanon said they will call for the election of a new president in Lebanon immediately after ceasefire with Israel. Lebanon Prime Minister called to renew commitment to implement of resolution 1701. Seems seeing what Israel is doing may be giving the Lebanese government a hope for a future free of Iran control. 

Seems following the series of Israel’s successful strikes on Hezbollah ordered by PM Netanyahu, Israel’s opposition lawmakers have suddenly changed and voiced support for ground war in Lebanon. Tom says Netanyahu’s government has now picked up about 4 more seats.

Israel tanks on the border of Lebanon while the West scrambles to prevent all out war following IDF air strikes in Yemen. 

Israel air strikes in Damascus today. 

Amir says the Arab media is telling people Israel rejects the settlement with Hezbollah and does not accept the ceasefire. Says the only way to reach an agreement is to withdraw Hezbollah to the northern lines and disarm Hezbollah. 

Biden approved 567 million for defense support for Taiwan. Says in defense of rising tension with Chinese. 

Putin says Russia will accomplish all goals set in Ukraine. 

Tom says we need to remember to pray for all those over there, still a mess over there, ongoing.

Hurricane Helene, unimaginable destruction over 5 states. The last report of death toll is 118 with more than 1,100 missing, Florida, Georgia, S. Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Some say there are thousands and thousands of people missing. 

Large fire in bio lab in Georgia. Massive smoke. Residents told to stay in their houses, very dangerous chemicals.

Massive fire in Seven Oaks California, towering wall of fire surging up the drainage. 

Tom says pray for all the people dealing with all this in the last days.

A major strike at the  East Coast ports set to begin October 1. In anticipation railways halted freight shipments fearing cargo may be stranded on trains during the disruption. Shortages expected.

A. I.news: reports A.I. model is outperforming humans in pricing currencies in adjusting spreads and managing the risks. A.I. is gaining speed so fast. Tom said even though just released in early 2023. 

Gospel: 

Asks, if the rapture was to happen in the next few weeks, would you go or be stuck here, left behind? In a world so dramatically apocalyptic. Life will never be like it is right now. People eating and drinking marrying and planting. Normal life quickly running out. 

So critical to believe in Jesus who gave His life to save us. To be with Him in heaven. Must realize and admit of our sins and need for a Savior. Know He came, perfect without sin,  to take our sins upon Him. He died, shed His blood, and took all our sins so we could be forgiven. Believe, receive, and will be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit and forgiven of sins, past present and future. Rapture ready to go to heaven with the family of God forever.
