NOTES: Have some cold water and very hot chili and hang out with an old friend and a fellow servant of the Lord.

Jesus is coming soon in the rapture. 

John 14: 1-3 “Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s House are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and I will come again to receive you unto Myself that where I am you may be also.” 

Tom says this isn’t the second coming, this is where the Master Carpenter has been preparing a place for those who belong to Him. He is coming back to receive us to Himself that where He is we will also be, exciting! 

1 Corinthians 15: 52 “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed.”

Tom says the last trumpet. The trumpets in Revelation chapter 8-11 are the angles blowing the trumpets. This is the trumpet of God, the last trumpet. The first trumpet sounded when He gathered the Jews at Mt. Sinai. This last one, we go up!

1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18 “ For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout and the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first. We who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”

Revelation 4: 1 “ After these things I looked and behold a door standing open in heaven and the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with Me and saying, come up here and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
 
News: 
Insider Paper: Israel army announces significant strikes and says Gaza Strip has been cut in 2. Israeli forces have encircled Gaza City. Now exists a South and North Gaza.

Israel Radar: 70 Hezbollah members and 7 Israeli soldiers killed on Lebanon border. IDF is overwhelming Hezbollah in limited clashes but prepares for larger assault from Lebanon. 

Daily Mail: Israel war planes attack Hezbollah in the worst border clashes for 17 years after terrorists released rocket in N. Israel.
 
Tom: think we are about to get raptured.

Israel Radar: IDF intercepts drones from Lebanon. 

Daily Wire: 2 Senators, Blumenthal from Connecticut and Lindsey Graham warns military will strike Iran if proxies in the Middle East kill any US soldier or if Hezbollah opens a second front against Israel. Or if the Iron Dome is overwhelmed they will hit the Islamic republic of Iran. Says the great satan in the region is not Israel or US but Iran.

Tom says he doesn’t know how much the US gets involved in this, doesn’t see it in Scripture.  Does the rapture render the US useless? Don’t know. The rapture is what we are waiting for.

Iran has called on the Brics community to intervene in Israel Hamas conflict and is using its clout and economic influence. Brics is  Brazil, Russia, India, China and S. Africa.
 
US deploys a nuclear powered sub in the Middle East in show of deterrence against further escalation as the war nears 1 month mark. Appeared to show an Ohio class sub in Egypt, Suez Canal. 

Daily Mail: Iran’s threat to America over Israel says the US will be hit hard if no Gaza ceasefire is implemented. 

Tom says, threatening, every day.

Insider Paper: S. Africa to recall all diplomats from Israel. Tom says so many are turning against Israel. 

Massive protest, against Israel in Washington DC this weekend. Also protests against Israel in Montreal Canada, Berlin Germany, Rome, Italy, Norway, large protests all over Europe. In London Jews are afraid to leave their home.Amir says Jews must leave Europe as soon as possible.Tom says being gathered back to Israel from all over the world.

China deployment of the navy with aircraft carrier and 10 other airships north, south and east of Taiwan large scale exercises. Nearby is 2 US carrier strike groups.

Xi of China says China and Australia can become trusting partners. Xi says China and Australia have no historical disputes or fundamental conflict of interest. Tom says, strange, has never seen this because of China’s human rights record. Now see China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea together. Because no leadership in the world. People will cry out for one and we won’t be here. 

N. Korea claims it has developed the world’s strongest nuclear force. Speculated N. Korea is preparing for a third attempt to launch military spy satellite after failed attempts in May and. August. Tom says they don’t have food or electricity but have nukes. 

Earthquakes in the last 48 hours, 50, 4.0 and above, and 8, 5.0 and above. 

Clown World from Wired: Ai bot fills out job applications while you sleep. Ai services with names like Lazy Apply, and Zip through the grunt work of job applications. Said it helped one programer apply for 5,000 job applications while he slept. Says it can make mistakes and some recruiters don’t like it. Tom jokes and says if I were a company I wouldn’t want to hire someone who used Lazy to apply for jobs!
 
Conversation dot com says do you trust Ai to write the news, it already is, but with problems. Changing the nature of the news. Tom says, it can’t get any worse although Ai may be more honest than some journalists! 

Comments: 
Shares that she poured her heart out to her unbelieving sister today. Told her the time here is short and things she needs to hear now. Her sister usually rejects and calls her brainwashed and crazy but this time actually thanked her. She knows God is in control and was obedient to God and seeds were planted. Tom says that takes courage. 

Says this is the day of grace. After the rapture the day of grace is over. Run to Jesus now. 

The shaking is happening, He is coming for His bride. 

Says the world won’t get so chaotic before the rapture that people expect it but will continue as the days of Noah and Lot. How much time until that still goes on, It will be a shock when that happens. 

Gospel:
 God’s plan of salvation. Jesus paid once with His life, His blood. Finished, forgave all sins. Because He loves us. Believe and receive it for you. Warns if reject will stand on judgment day and led to hell for rejecting. 

Admit a sinner and believe in Jesus for salvation. Repentance, from unbelief to belief, change of heart. 

1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 “ For I delivered to you first of all which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, buried and rose again on the third day.”
 
Ephesians 1: 7 “ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace.” 
Saved, unearned gift. Water baptism does not save, only belief. 

Ephesians 2: 8-9 “ For by grace you have been saved through faith and not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.”
 
Be saved today!

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭8:1‭-‬13‬ ‭NKJV‬
[1] When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. [2] And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. [3] Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. [4] And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. [5] Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake. [6] So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. [7] The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. [8] Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. [9] And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. [10] Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. [11] The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter. [12] Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. [13] And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

‭Revelation‬ ‭9:1‭-‬21‬ ‭NKJV‬
[1] Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. [2] And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. [3] Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. [4] They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. [5] And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. [6] In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them. [7] The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. [8] They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.  [9] And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was  like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. [10] They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. [11] And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. [12] One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things. [13] Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, [14] saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” [15] So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. [16] Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. [17] And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. [18] By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. [19] For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm. [20] But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. [21] And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

‭Revelation‬ ‭10:1‭-‬11‬ ‭NKJV‬
[1] I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. [2] He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, [3] and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. [4] Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.” [5] The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven [6] and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, [7] but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. [8] Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.” [9] So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” [10] Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. [11] And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”

‭Revelation‬ ‭11:1‭-‬19‬ ‭NKJV‬
[1] Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. [2] But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for  forty-two months. [3] And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” [4] These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. [5] And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. [6] These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. [7] When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. [8] And their dead bodies will  lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. [9] Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. [10] And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. [11] Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. [12] And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. [13] In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven. [14] The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly. [15] Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the  kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” [16] And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, [17] saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. [18] The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” [19] Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

‭Exodus‬ ‭19:1‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬
[1] In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. [2] For they had departed from Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before the mountain. [3] And Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: [4] ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. [5] Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. [6] And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.” [7] So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him. [8] Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord. [9] And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” So Moses told the words of the people to the Lord. [10] Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. [11] And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. [12] You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. [13] Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.” [14] So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. [15] And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives.” [16] Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. [17] And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. [18] Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. [19] And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. [20] Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. [21] And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish. [22] Also let the priests who come near the Lord consecrate themselves, lest the Lord break out against them.” [23] But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it.’ ” [24] Then the Lord said to him, “Away! Get down and then come up, you and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest He break out against them.” [25] So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.

[16] For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. [17] Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. [18] Therefore comfort one another with these words.
