August 3, 2024 – Watchman River Tom – The Middle East time bomb is ticking!

Scripture of what to do when in need of courage.

Psalm 27: 14 Wait on the Lord and be of good courage and He shall  strengthen your heart.

Tom says it seems strange how it is as if they are scheduling war these days. We are in a waiting mode as we pray for peace for all people, and for salvations. 

The Fig Tree Generation prophecy, that the ones that saw Israel become a nation in 1948 shall not pass away until all these things come to pass. Tom says that is talking about the second coming of Christ, the rapture and tribulation have happened in this generation. This shows us we are in the final hours. Our Lord has told us in His Word all the things that will take place. Tom says it gives comfort in these days. So important now more than ever to put our faith and trust in Jesus, the Rock, our Great Shepherd. Jesus is looking forward to getting His church! To meet Him in the clouds and going off to heaven to be in that place where He is that He has prepared for us.

Tom says we don’t know what things we will still be here for that we see. Like the destruction of Damascus, a ruinous heap in one day. It would be horrifying, millions of people live there. Jesus  said we are not to worry.

Israel News:

Iran TV announcer said yesterday in the coming hours the world will witness extraordinary scenes and important developments. Tom says so much propaganda and threats. 

Another source says Iran plans to attack Israel on the 9th of Av which is August 12-13. That is the Jewish day they call day of disasters, when the Jews mourn the loss of the first and second Temple. Says Iran’s attack will also be joined by Hezbollah.

Amir says Israel’s fighter jets are fully loaded and ready to deploy in a matter of minutes. Waiting to see who strikes first. 

Iran said on Saturday it expects Hezbollah to hit deeper inside Israel and no longer just to military targets. 

Pentagon deploys additional cruisers, destroyers, fighters and navy ships to the Middle East. They are increasing their readiness for deployment of ground based missile defense systems. 

Lebanon media says Iran and proxies have established joint command and control to direct the attack that will hit Israel and also American military bases in the region. 

Yesterday Hamas fired a rocket from Rafah to S. Israel. Also, Israel struck Syrian air base near the border of Lebanon that is often used by Hezbollah. 

A poll was taken to see what Israel’s preferred course of action was and all out war was chosen.

Poland asked its citizens in Iran and Lebanon to leave as soon as possible.

Satellite phones were given to Israel cabinet members in event of massive attack that could knock out all phone network. 

Amir said Iran’s UN mission said Lebanon will attack civilian targets inside Israel such as babies, hospitals and schools. Despite that threat the UN and protestors remain quiet. 

Despite Israel coming to the aid of Turkey on 2022 with the earthquake, Turkey lowered the flag to half mass yesterday to mourn the death of the head of Hamas. 

Amir said last night targets were attacked in Lebanon and Syria and the border. The airport in Syria used by Iran has been destroyed.

Iran has secretly arrested more than 20 officers that they say were involved in the assassination of the Hamas leader. Also arrested some people that worked in the guest house they say may have been involved to plant the bombs. They suspect Israel Mossad may have been involved. The Mossad is like an FBI.

Bubba comments: says seems Iran’s tactics is to get on Israel’s nerves and if Iran delays its attack it causes psychological warfare to Israel’s civilians and IDF commanders. Says the propaganda machine wants to make Israel sweat and increase the fears of its citizens. But it is an opportunity for Israel to strike in advance. 

Says yesterday reports and videos of P2 bombers landing in Qatar for possible attack on Iran. If Israel sees Iran is going to wait much longer it may strike on Iran’s nuclear missile program and ballistic missiles. May begin major attack on all of Iran’s proxies wave after wave non stop. 

Also said today a Russian military transport used for carrying weapons such as nuclear landed in Iran from Russia. Perhaps Iran was sent a nuclear warhead from Russia to install in Iran’s hypersonic missile that can reach Tel Aviv in 400 seconds or 6.66 minutes. It goes Mach 15 and anything over 5 is hypersonic. Anything over Mach 10 is almost impossible to intercept. Iran plans to use these for the first time when it attacks Israel. 

Bubba says but we know God has His plan. Jeremiah 49: 35-37 says God will break the bow of Elam rocket launchers, at  the foremost of her might when the nuke is ready.

In Bangladesh students call for nationwide civil disobedience campaign after the government had police crack down on protests on civil service jobs where more than 200 were killed. 

Stock market had the worst session since 2022 after a week of economic reports, fear a recession is brewing. 

Tom says, watch oil. 

Colleges across America offer courses in witchcraft, divination and occult. Especially Yale, Duke and Georgetown. 

Taco Bell is offering Ai ti take orders at hundreds of drive through across the US by the end of 2024.

From the comments:

Says what a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see. When I look upon His face the One who saved me by His grace, when He takes me by the hand and leads me to the promised land. What a day, glorious day that will be! 

We are awaiting our Home going. 

Says use the battlefield as a mission field. So many need Christ before the rapture. 

Tom thinks people in the war torn areas may be more open. But here most don’t realize how perilous times are. 

Gospel: 

Jesus came to die so we would live. He shed His blood to pay for our sins. To remove all our sins.  

Simply need to believe in Him and what He did to be saved. Receive His forgiveness and be saved, filled with Holy Spirit and rapture ready. To be in heaven with Him for all eternity. Be saved today.

Today’s Scriptures: What To Do When You’re In Need Of Courage

[14] Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Psalm 30:5 KJV

[5] For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Isaiah 43:2 KJV

[2] When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 

Timestamp: 1:38

1 Peter 4:12-13 KJV

[12] Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: [13] but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 

Romans 8:38-39 KJV

[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Matthew 24:1-51 KJV

[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. [2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. [3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows. [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. [10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. [11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. [12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. [13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. [15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) [16] then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains: [17] let him which is on the house top not come down to take any thing out of his house: [18] neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. [19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! [20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: [21] for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. [24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [25] Behold, I have told you before. [26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. [27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. [29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. [31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. [32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: [33] so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. [34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. [35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. [36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, [39] and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [42] Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. [44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. [45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? [46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. [47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. [48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; [49] and shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; [50] the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, [51] and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
