May 8, 2024 – Watchman River Tom

Thankful for the prayer for his family.  Health issue with one of his children, it shall be well.

Scriptures:

Numbers 6:24-26. “The Lord bless and keep you, make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.  The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His peace.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord.  For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes but its leaf will be green and not be anxious in the year of drought nor will cease from yielding fruit.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts I think toward you says the Lord.  Thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope.”

Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus.”

Psalms 34:8 “O taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who trusts in Him.”

Tom says we have a future with our King we can hardly even imagine and be face to face with Him very, very, soon. Looking up every day.  Tom says he is hearing more that are also  saying it is soon.

Tom says it is hard not to see we are in the last days.  Says he doesn’t think this war will end, what began October 7 leads to the 7 year covenant and the tribulation begins. There could be a gap between the two.  The rapture before that.   Antisemitism all over, even some Christians.  Yet the whole Bible is about redemption and the Jewish people.

After the lockdown many churches changed, not staying in the Bible. Nuclear threats, riots especially in election year. Riots all around the world.  Economies failing, weather affecting crops.  Strange things in the skies, changes in what is in the skies,  Lawlessness, unpunished, no consequences, One world religion, one world government, one world currency, technology for Mark of the Beast. Preparations for Jewish sacrifices.  Artificial intelligence for use for antichrist.  Just need 15 seconds of voice and face and can make a copy video to say anything.  Evil, satan ramping up.  So close to the tribulation.  

News:

Tom says we are  hearing  Israel starting in Rafah.

Israel Today – IDF reserves and bereaved families gather outside US Embassy branch in Tel Aviv to demand Washington to support Israel as an ally and stop obstructing the war to eradicate Hamas threat.

Biden White House said Israel promised us this is a limited operation in Rafah. They  cut off the flow of weapons and money to Hamas.  While Netanyahu is saying the operation is continuing but will not bring about the rescue of hostages is suggesting it is limited in scope.

Hamas was launching rockets from Rafah to South Israel.  Tom  says it looks like every day matters when watching things leading to the tribulation.  Our King rescues us.

JNS – IDF takes operational control of Rafah crossing and put up a flag.  Also US failed to inform Israel before the truce announcement.  Biden did not inform Jerusalem in advance of Hamas acceptance on Monday of latest hostage deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar.  Head of CIA arrives in Israel today after another round of talks regarding the hostage deal.  To meet with Netanyahu and others senior officials.

Beginning of Sorrows News – Hamas sources says the round of negotiations in Cairo is over.  

Times of Israel – US confirms holding up the sale of heavy bombs as it feared Israel would use them in Rafah.  To ensure safety? Tom says US can’t insure safety here and they don’t care about Palestinians.   A spiritual battle.    Israel is God’s nation, His hand is upon them, explains why these things are happening.  One day it will all cease.

Ukraine warns of outages after massive attacks on power plants from Russia.

Tornado damage causes massive damage to FedEx building in Michigan.  Tom reads an email one sent him.  Said he’s a lineman in Michigan and this year at least 5 tornadoes and tornados are very rare in this state.  Fed Ex building brought down with about 40 people trapped.  Many homes and businesses destroyed. We need  to pray.

Death  toll due to floods in South Brazil 95, 131 missing.  150,000 had to leave their homes, affecting over 1.4 million people.  

Last 24 hour earthquakes, 42 over 4.0, 8 over 5.0, 1 over 6.0.

Testimonies and comments –

When we realize our sinfulness  and need for a Savior we look to a Savior. It  humbles us to know it is Jesus who finds us and saves us. He keeps us.

Gospel –

We all need forgiveness for sin brings death.  The plan from the beginning was to send God’s only begotten Son to die for all sins of all time.  He fulfilled what He came to do.  Died, shed His blood, was buried and rose again the 3rd day.  

Will you believe this and receive it?  The only way to be saved from all sins.  Warns, if reject, don’t receive and believe, won’t go to heaven, but hell.

Be eternally thankful.  Receive, believe, be saved.  Rapture ready to go be with Him.  The moment you receive you will receive the Holy Spirit and saved forever to be with Him in heaven forever.

Be saved today.
