NOTES: Tom reads:  John 14:1-6. “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Tom is craving falafel.  It’s mashed chick peas spiced and fried.  Tells a story of being with his brother 30 years ago in NYC and his brother takes him to a place where they have the best ones ever.  2 brothers came to the US and opened this stand.  They have an article on the wall from NY Times.  It talks of how when their father was very old he said I don’t have anything to give you but I have a recipe and told them to go to America and make them. Never had one anywhere like it since!  It’s a good memory!

Scriptures about mercy.  Hebrew 4:16, Matthew 9:13, Ephesians 2:4-5,  by grace you have been saved.  Psalm 51:1-2,  we are washed thoroughly from our inquiry, totally cleansed from our sins once we have faith in that blood and believe in the finished work of Jesus.  2 Chronicles 30:9,  Jesus will never turn His face from you when you belong to Him.  He loves us, He is for us.  Micah 7:18, He delights in mercy, gives grace.

Tom says  we see this world so dark and we trust in Him.

News:

JNS:  Israeli strike kills 2 in a Damascus apartment.  The attack targeted Sr. Iranian officials.  Israel launched from  the Golan Heights.

Israel Channel 12 wrote about this. Said  the danger with Syria, especially Damascus, is greater than the danger in South Lebanon.  In Damascus arms transfer is being planned and there are many Iranian  and Palestinian leaders in Damascus.  In recent months Hamas has returned to Damascus.

Jerusalem Post  reports that Sinwar’s health is deteriorating due to severe pneumonia. Hamas reports it lacks ammunition  and its military structures were deteriorating when asked about a ceasefire.

Tom says Hamas is about done.  Pulled some forces out and sent some home.  US playing 2 sides with Israel.  Talking of bringing agreements to the UN to tell Israel to stop the war and don’t start the war with Rafah.  At the same time vetos other things when countries want Israel to stop.

Insider Paper: China says UN veto and UN truce vote makes Gaza even more dangerous.  Washington vetoed a UN Security Council resolution drafted by Algeria which demanded an immediate ceasefire in war torn Gaza and unconditional release of all hostages.

Houthis launch the most damaging attack yet.  Saying Middle East looks to escalate on all fronts.  British owned cargo carrier was forced to abandon ship in the Gulf of Aden.

Israel Radar:  Israel and Hezbollah move closer to a wider conflict.  Tom thinks  at some point that front will open.

Arab News  says a message was sent to Netanyahu from US behind closed doors for a cut off date at Ramadan, in less than 1 month, for Israel to conclude the 5 months old war. 

Tom says Ramadan ends April 8 the same day as Great American Eclipse.  It’s a big sign, doesn’t look good for the US.  August 21, 2017, was the 1st great eclipse of the first line, known as the 7 Salem eclipse. The path of the eclipse passed over 7 locations in the US named Salem.  Salem, in Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, S. Carolina.  Salem is short for Jerusalem.  The second one coming is the Ninevah eclipse.  Ninevah in Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, 8th is in Nova Scotia in Canada.  US turned its back on God and now Israel.

Last 24 hour earthquakes, 42 over 4.0, 7 over 5.0.

Clown World :

Ai is writing scientific papers that sound great but they aren’t accurate.  Chat GPT is helping students with their papers and now luring scientists who are under pressure to publish papers in reputable scientific journals.   A doctor is referenced that knows how to scan ones that could have been written by Ai.  Said these are easy to read and written better than the students but up to 70% of the cited references were not accurate.

Another – 

Daily Camera : Fake meat not getting the results they want.  The ads backfired by scolding the many meat eaters.   Florida governor and other red meat loving conservatives have joined with big cattle producers to ban fake meat.  Tom says now meat is politics too!  Tom says he has left and right leaning friends and we all love a good burger!  Clown world – Ha!

Testimonies: says someone gave him a tract at the McDonald’s drive through when he was working there.  He said he saved it for 2 years then got saved reading it!

Told how she went to a youth group at a church and loved it.  Her mom thought it was a cult and told her she couldn’t go anymore.  She was so devastated and cried so hard and told God she couldn’t be with Him anymore. Her  heart was breaking.  Then felt this tremendous presence of pure peace and lover all over.  When she went to see her mom right after that she was literally glowing in this presence, told her mom that Jesus came to her. Not sure what she looked like but her mom was in shock when she looked at her.  Never forgot that.

Comments: 

Because of what Jesus did for me I have nothing to fear.  Living in these last minutes appreciates more and more what He did for me, has peace in her soul.

Tom says we can’t understand that peace that passes all understanding.  The Holy Spirit in us.

Prays protection over the children in these troubled days.

Heaven is not just a place for those that want to escape death and destruction but Home for those who love Jesus.

Little do these nations know they are all fulfilling prophecy with their actions.  Don’t fret.  God’s plan is perfect, trust Him only.

Gives thanks to God for having 40 years with his grandma who went to be with Jesus yesterday.   Says she helped him with a learning disability and now is on a dissertation phase of PhD.  Blessed, he was her only grandchild.

Gospel:

Calling it Good News hardly describes it.  All He did for us coming to the earth to die to save us.  Tom says imagine being alive when He walked this earth.  They say the 2 greatest times to be alive was when Jesus walked the earth and right now, when Jesus is coming back to rapture the church. 

Warns of the 7 terrible years,

We get to send eternity with Him if we know who He is.

He came as the perfect sacrifice, shed blood for our sins, died, rose and coming back.

He did it all.  All we do is believe and trust and receive.  Tell Him.  You will be saved, receive Holy Spirit, saved for eternity.

All our sufferings and trials will be over soon. Warns  if reject this will face Jesus still with sins and will go to hell.

King of kings, Lord of lords, He loves us.

Be saved today.

[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. [4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. [5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

Testimonies:

@cadillackness

I was baptized at age 10, said a prayer for salvation and then lived like the devil until I was 30, strung out on meth and hit rock bottom. I turned to God and told Him I needed him to save me or I would likely die. My life changed that day in the spring of 2005 and been growing ever since. Praise Jesus

I visited a church to see my hairdresser sing solo.  At one point I was raised to my feet (in a crowded church) alone and turned myself to the oncoming HUGE wind – it blew through me. I ran in awe and fear. The pastor ‘caught’ me -he told me he’d been reading the woman at the tomb all week.  He’s was excited – I was weeping, my face in the carpet – HALLELUJAH
