Scriptures: Lamentations 3: 22-23. ..His compassions fail not, they are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness, they are new every morning.

Ephesians 6:1 “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the whiles of the devil.” 

Psalm 32:7. “You are my hiding place, You shall preserve me from trouble, You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.”

News sources: Times of Israel, Israel Today, Channel 14, J. Post, Insider Paper. 

Ceasefire hostage release deal may be signed later this week. Says they are in the final stages.

Says there has been a handshake. Trump says hostage deal could be inked by the end of this week. Trump had an interview with Newsmax and said we are closer to getting it done. Says if it’s not done there will be a lot of trouble. The Trump administration implied there will be consequences for Israel if they stand in the way.

They say Qatar persuaded Trump to exert pressure on Israel. 

Tom says as we are seeing, it is not a good deal for Israel. 

Trump’s desire to end the war in Gaza led to the hostage deal requiring significant concessions. 

Netanyahu is trying to convince his right wing ministers Smotrich and Gvir of this reality so they won’t leave the government over a bad Gaza ceasefire deal that Israel has no choice but to accept. Israel’s leaders believe that in return for compromising on Gaza Trump will back Israel for the strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. 

Tom says when a president or president elect does things to Israel, watch the weather. God’s hand is on the nation of Israel and its people. 

Israel Today said Israel is under intense pressure from Trump to make this ceasefire happen by January 20. Israel is never allowed to achieve full victory. Israel’s enemies left standing by those too short sided to realize they will attack again.

The first phase of the deal calls for the release of 33 hostages. The goal is to announce the hostage deal today and begin to implement after January 20. 

Hamas said to BBC on the first day of the ceasefire they will only release 3 hostages. 

Reports of a 3 phase plan to release the hostages waiting for Hamas response. The negotiations attended by both Biden and Trump’s team. 

Another source said Hamas has accepted the draft agreement for ceasefire in Gaza and release of dozens of hostages. 

Associated Press obtained a copy of the proposed agreement and Egyptian official and Hamas confirmed its authenticity. The plan to be submitted to Israel’s cabinet for approval.

The plan called for Israel to release 50 Palestinian prisoners including 30 serving life sentences for each female soldier hostage. A gradual release of 33 hostages over the 6 week period. Women, children, other adults and wounded civilians in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian women and children in Israel’s prison. 

Tom reminds us we trust God, He is complete control. 

Amir posted on telegram yesterday. Said many of you may not like what I have to say, many may even unfollow this channel. Says the pressure that Trump, through his envoy applied on Israel, was much heavier than what he exerted on Hamas. Trump wanted a deal signed before January 20 and Hamas knew this was their chance to agree that would ensure an end to the war while they remain in power. All they’ve done to to us in N. Gaza should have become an area settled by Israel. Now Gazans are allowed to return. Much of the area is completely destroyed but as long as they can return and rebuild they consider it a victory. 

Muslim Imam is scheduled to deliver the prayer at Trump’s inauguration. A known supporter of Hezbollah and Houthis with ties to Iran. His history includes a prayer at DNC where he attacked the US. He defended attacks on American ships in Yemen. Called for the death of Saudis who he called agents of the Jews. He signed a letter encouraging holy jihad. Praises Hezbollah’s activities in S. Lebanon. He participated in many jihad rallies in Dearborn Michigan and calls for Israel’s destruction.

Last night a lot of people were protesting in Jerusalem. Some of the families are upset at the deal that looks like Israel is about to sign. They were saying we don’t make a deal with the devil. Hundreds blocked the  entrance to Jerusalem and clashed with the police. 

According to Arab media Hamas is demanding the return of Sinwar’s body in the first phase of the hostage deal. Israel said no. 

Israel Today said as part of the hostage deal a million residents of N. Gaza will be allowed to return home. This will make any military operations against Hamas impossible. 

Bubba made some comments today. He said the hostage deal will have 3 phases 6 weeks each. Also moving into the 2 state solution and 7 year peace plan to be signed by September. It is reported that Norway is having a meeting tomorrow called alliance for implementation for 2 state solution. In attendance, Palestinian prime minister, UNRWA director, and representatives from over 80 organizations and nations. Cairo Egypt, Aman Jordan and Turkey meetings also coming up. Bubba says deal of the century, millennium. All this taking place as these hostage deals. The 2 state solution for 7 year plan. Daniel 9: 27. The rapture is before, looking up.

Wildfires rage on. The highest level alert. Santa Anna winds increasing Wednesday through parts of LA and Ventura. Tens of thousands of evacuees trying to find shelter. Pray. 

Russia warns Ukraine it may not exist as a country in 2025. 

Chinese ships moving closer to the Philippines.

Gospel: Tom says so many things going on in the world. US pressuring Israel. Catastrophic fires. A.I. to the beast system. Talk of 2 state solution. We have gone from just talking about Jesus coming in the rapture to now just waiting. 

Tom asks, do you know Jesus, believe in His finished work on the cross and atoning blood? Have you repented, turned from unbelief to belief to the King of kings? Without that there is no hope. Headed for dark times very quickly. 

All we have to do is believe in what Jesus came to do to save us from sins that keep us from heaven and a Holy God. If reject and don’t believe, don’t receive, will go to hell forever. 

Jesus paid for all our sins, past, present and future forever. Believe in faith and receive. Nothing we do or can do, He did it all because He loves us.

Will be saved, born again, receive Holy Spirit, changed and ready to to go to heaven. 

Be saved today, with Jesus and the family of God forever.
