NOTES: Tom says we are watching world troubles Increasing, lookup!

Tom reminds he’s not a prophet, a pastor, just a dude that loves the Lord and loves talking about the Lord and hanging out together.  

Tom says grab a snack!  Recommends olives and Cheetos!  Or better yet, whatever you like to eat when hanging out with an old friend and a fellow servant of the Lord.

Scriptures for encouragement, how God is in control.  We don’t have to worry about anything as we are waiting in these hard days for the rapture.

Isaiah 55:8-9. God’s ways are higher than ours, that is a comfort!  Deuteronomy 31:8. He will not leave us.  Psalms 23:3, Psalms 125:2, Philippians 4:6-7.  His peace that surpasses all understanding.  That lets us get through these times, He is in control.  John 14:27.  Let not your heart be troubled or be afraid.  We need to hear that in these days. Ecclesiastes 3:11.  He is in control of everything, no need to worry.  He is for us.  He loves us, won’t let us out of His hand. 

Tom remembers in all the years he has been studying Bible prophecy there were a few pastors that would say, when America starts crumbling, look up.

Tom says when immigrants come in and the see America is crumbling  they say, yet there is no where else to go. Some say, as America falls, so goes the world.  We know all this will happen, its in His Word.

News: 

Jerusalem Post – Head of Hamas and Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad arrived in Iran to meet with the leaders a day after UN Security Council approved a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.  They were celebrating it at the same time neglect on the part they are to release hostages.

Tom  says the whole world is trying to pressure Israel to stop.  Tom believes the rapture is right around the corner. When they say “peace and safety” then sudden destruction comes.  They are saying it, look up.

Jerusalem Post – Ramadan powder keg, the Temple Mount is the eye of the storm.  Still keeping an eye out for trouble yet during Ramadan.  Hamas’s plan is still to set the Middle East on fire with the pretext of saving Al Asqa Mosque.

Israel Today: Israel warplanes struck the deepest part into Lebanon thus far.  50 rockets fired by Hezbollah into Northern Israel.  Most intercepted, some buildings hit.  Most of the towns residents have been evacuated further south. Sirens in Northern Israel.  Forces struck a military facility.

Tom reads an unusual message from the leader of Serbia.  He put on social media warning the people of news they received of some very difficult challenges coming there.  Said “we will fight”, Serbia will win.

Tom says this world is troubling, escalating, like birth pains, just like Jesus said.  He told us tomorrows news today.

Insider Paper:  the port of the Baltimore bridge is a key hub for shipping.  The Francis Scott Key bridge, named after the national anthem. It is  used to carry around 34,000 paying vehicles a day across one of the busiest harbors in the US.  Its nighttime collapse within seconds of being struck by a container ship is likely to cause substantial economic damage for as long as it continues to block shipping in the port of Baltimore.  The bridge dramatic destruction shut the port for all maritime traffic which last year accounted for more than 52 million tons of foreign cargo worth 80 billion dollars.  The deepest harbor in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay and handles the highest volume of autos and light trucks in the US.  Also the largest quantity of imported sugar.  The port of Baltimore is the 9th busiest major US port in terms of foreign cargo handled.  Directly responsible for more than 15,000 jobs while supporting almost 140,000 more jobs. Reports were officials stopped cars moments before the ship collided saving a lot of lives.  That the ship issued a “May Day” call just before colliding and were able to stop some traffic.

Tom  remarks how already much infrastructure and food processing plants sabotage in the US in the last 2 years. Something to wonder about.  

5.7 earthquake off Northwest California, Past 24 hrs earthquakes, 42 over 4.0, 6 over 5.0, 1 over 6.0.

Going all over the internet.  Bird flu has been found in dairy cows in Texas and Kansas.  Says its the worst animal disease outbreak ever and far larger than the 2014 and 2015 outbreak that killed 50 million birds in commercial flocks. USDA announced Monday unpasteurized milk samples from sick cattle at 2 dairy farms in Kansas and 1 in Texas. A swab in Texas tested positive for it.  USDA stressed commercial milk supply is not at risk.  National Vet laboratory services has not found changes in the virus that would make it more transmissible to humans.

Tom warns, a cocoa crisis. Cocoa prices are at an all time high.  Says this price was more than double what cocoa was trading for in January and almost 5 times more than 2023, a year ago. Hershey and Cadbury said their prices will be increasing.  The rising prices the result of poor weather and related yields in West Africa.

Clown World – 

Ha comes first!  There is going to be a “rain tax” in Canada in April.  The residents are not happy!  A tax aimed at addressing storm water management issues.

Testimonies and Comments –

Said I didn’t find Jesus, He found me, drew me.  Because of His grace and love and guidance.  When we look at ourself,  we need to remember instead to look at Jesus.  To shine bright for Jesus, give Him glory.

Gospel:

The time to know Jesus still  is very, very short.  Warns of the coming tribulation.  Without trusting in Jesus for salvation will go to hell. 

The Gospel is in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.  Jesus died for our sins, buried, rose on the 3rd day.  We are all sinners, Jesus paid for all our sins with His blood.

Only need to believe, tell Him, be saved, born again, receive the Holy Spirit, rapture ready and spend eternity with Him. Saved by grace through faith.  Don’t put it off.
