NOTES: Tom suggests very hot black tea and chicken ramen and hang out with an old friend and a fellow servant of the 

Lord.

Tom reads rapture verses, he says this is what we do! 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18,  we who are alive will meet the Lord in the clouds! 1 Corinthians 15:50-52 we will be changed, have new bodies! John 14:1-3 Jesus is going to receive us unto Himself. King of kings, Lord of lords, preparing a place for us for 2,000 years. The Master carpenter! More magnificent than we can ever grasp this side of heaven. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 There are many trials but we are not appointed to wrath. 

News: Insider Paper: UN General Assembly demanded a ceasefire and it was passed, a non- binding resolution. UN putting pressure on Israel and Washington for this. 153 in favor, 10 countries including US and Israel voted no and 23 abstained. Tom says 153 is an interesting number. 1 Thessalonians 5:3, when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction.

Biden said Israel is loosing world support. Said Netanyahu needed to change and embrace a 2 state solution. 

Bubba news said the only reason America has been protected from so much harm and not been defeated is because it supported Israel. America’s days of protection coming to an end as it turns on Israel and the Jews. So sad to see it unfold. Says America deserves judgement for its sins otherwise God would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. Biden said there are real fears around the world that America would lose its moral standing because of our support for Israel. But he should read the verse of Genesis 12:3 God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel. 

COP28 forced to go into overtime as fossil fuels divide the country.  They said Dubai Summit adopts the world’s first transition from fossil fuels.   Nearly 200 nations approved, first ever call for nations away from fossil fuels, the culprit of climate change they say.   Says after 13 days of talks and several sleepless nights in a country built on oil wealth the president of UN COP28 Summit declared the world reached a consensus. EU climate change chief said it was long overdue, taken nearly 30 years to come to the beginning of the end of fossil fuels. Tom says Clown World, new climate religion. We will see how long we are here.  Now Biden is turning on Israel, its closest ally.   

At the Turkish Parliament the leader shouted out “Israel will suffer the wrath of Allah”. And seconds later he had a heart attack. Reports are he is in ICU now.

Israel begins pumping seawater into Gaza tunnels. They show videos of Hamas members surrendering. 

Floods continue in Saudi Arabia, floods in Australia with cyclone, floods in Bolivia. Floods in Somalia with 118 died and 2.4 million affected. Past 24 hours earthquakes, 41 over 4.0 and 7 over 5.0.

Clown World: Ai increases Metas Ai for Rayband smart glasses. Say they can identify objects and translate languages. The glasses have a camera and microphone on them. Zuckerberg demonstrated by asking the glasses to suggest pants to match the shirt he was wearing. It described the pants and offered suggestions. Tom laughs! Tom says we can do this ourselves!   

Comments: Says is it  possible that all- knowing Lord wants His children to search through His word and join the prophetic dots in order to arrive at a possible match for a rapture date?  Is it possible He might just be thrilled to see His sons and daughters zoning in on the right moment for this once in all of human history event?   Possible the answer is in there somewhere? The Holy Bible is amazing. Or should we adopt the mantra, no one knows the day or the hour, nothing to see here. If watchmen want to hunt for clues, super! If they come up with incredible and never pondered rapture connections from OT and NT, awesome! Even if focus in on a real hot rapture candidate I say well done. If that passes, they keep going with the hunt, looking for another one. So many rich watchmen, lets give them credit for their service for the Lord.

Tom says he doesn’t like when they say “thus saith the Lord”. But likes ones that look for clues. We keep our eyes on Jesus. His perfect timing and don’t get discouraged. We all have something different to offer.

Says every believer has the same testimony. Saved by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ Alone. Ephesians 2:8-9. 

Tom said yesterday when he requested testimonies on the comments he got over 1,000!   So many amazing testimonies, cried through some. Recommends us to go read some, so powerful. Tom plans to record a video of them to play at Christmas and New Years. He has to choose, it could be a 10 hour video if included them all!

Tom thinks the tribulation is coming so fast, Begs every day if haven’t come to the Lord, come.   Don’t be here for the tribulation, Realize what Jesus did for all sin. We are completely powerless. It’s by faith in His sacrifice, sins paid for by His blood. Warns of hell unless believe in Him for salvation.  Believe, be saved, rapture ready forever with Him.

Today’s Scriptures:

1 Thessalonians 4:16–18 KJV

[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Corinthians 15:50–52 KJV

[50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Testimonies:

My testimony. I had to lose my husband and my dog for God to be number 1 in my life. I did not get to say goodbye to my husband as I was far from the hospital and was told I didn’t have time to get there. I had to wait for a phone call telling me he had died. One day eleven months later I was sitting on the couch. I wasn’t crying but I was wailing from deep within my soul as I spoke to Jesus. I was alone with no family or friends. The pain was unbearable. I asked Jesus to help me. I no sooner spoke the last word when I instantly felt something odd happening in my chest. I stopped crying and smiled. The pain was gone. It has now been 7 months and I have not cried once since Jesus blessed me with the instant miracle of healing my heart and soul. Jesus is real and Jesus does heal.

The LORD straightened out my attitude concerning the music in my church in Orlando. I was standing listening to the choir music thinking it “stunk”.  I dropped to the floor DEAD !  No pulse or heart beat for over 5 minutes. Sitting two chairs over was an ER doctor who never went to my church before ! He was running late for his own church  and stopped by! Paramedics got me to the hospital  with the doctors help. I left the hospital three days later with no ill effects . No sodium/salt in my body .I now eat salt by the shaker full and don’t comment about the music!  Everyone asks did I have any “Rapture vision” while dead !  I Answer NO.   One year later I had a dream the Rapture would occur on May 15th …… NO YEAR given! …..Ed from Windermere
