A DRAMATIC START TO THE WEEK..
News:
Pope Francis dies at the age of 88. He reigned 12 years as Pope. He was in the hospital for double pneumonia for 30 days, discharged March 23. He made an appearance yesterday, Sunday at the Vatican waving from the balcony. That night he died.
Tom says there has been prophecies that have said he would be the last pope. So they expected him to still be here for the events at the end. Tom says that he did not see that needed to be. Rather that another would come and that one would be the False Prophet the Bible talks about. We would expect him to be charismatic and charming. More of the middle of the road politically, and deceiving.
Tom says he remembers when he was about 15 or 16 years old some would teach the False Prophet would likely be the Pope of the time. A pastor said, if he walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. If it looks like the way the False Prophet acts, it will probably be the False Prophet. Add that to what all we see in prophecy and on the prophetic timeline that shows us how close we are to the rapture and the tribulation.
Klaus Schwab, founder of WEF stepped down at 87 years old.
WEF gathers the world’s political and business elite in the Swiss mountain village of Davos every year. Tom says we will keep eyes on who is next.
Hearing some reports on what went on with Saturday’s meeting in Rome. 4 hour talks with Iran representative and US envoy Steve Witkoff.
It is obvious Iran is attempting to drag it on. US is now saying Iran can keep the nuclear site for energy only, same as Obama’s term deal. Tom says many think Israel will go alone or the talks will fail quickly.
They report there will be further talks this week. Oman foreign ministry says Iran and US agreed for technical teams to meet in the next few days for for a next phase and say the negotiations will attempt to seal a deal to ensure Iran be completely free of nuclear weapons.
Tom says we know from Scripture in Jeremiah 49 the bow of Elam will be broken. That is Iran’s nuclear site. Looks like we can expect it to happen in the coming weeks or months at most.
Senior Iran security official told Reuters they have intelligence from reliable sources that Israel is planning a major attack on Iran’s nuclear site and they are prepared and says their response will be harsh and decisive.
Israel Today says Israel’s security cabinet plans to meet on Tuesday over the apparent stalemate in US, Iran talks.
Tom says Iran just signed a 20 year strategic military deal with Russia and we hear talks of Russia being involved in talks. They also say Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile may go to Russia.
US is still bombing into Yemen targeting Houthi weapons site and missile hide outs.
Netanyahu said over the weekend if they do not continue the war and complete the destruction of Hamas then another October 7 is just a matter of time.
Amir said on Saturday 4 US Air Force C17 cargo planes landed at Israel’s air base. 3 of the aircraft concealed their flight paths indicating a possible classified delivery.
Amir said we know when the enemy is loosing when they make things up. They said USS Harry Truman is out of commission. We know that is false.
Hamas recruited 30,000 new operatives in recent weeks replacing fighters that were killed in the war. According to Saudi media Hamas is preparing the new recruits for battle in secret training camps.
Bubba says as Hamas fails to release Israel hostages and to agreements Israel is considering re- arresting the terrorists that had been released from Israel prisons with the hostage exchange. Israel is keeping track of every terrorist that has been released to the West Bank and becomes a new target as part of war.
Scientists from China have tested a hydrogen bomb that creates a fireball with a temperature over 1,000 celsius and its flash lasts 15 times longer than that of ordinary TNT.
Severe storms over the weekend. 11 tornados in Texas and 4 in Oklahoma. Much destruction.
A.I. news: A.I companies competing with artists and creators.
Tom talks of how him and Mark are writing songs for Watchman River music like the theme song of these videos. They write and record them.
A.I. studies what they do and could eventually do one that copies and puts it out as theirs.
It has been noticed that A.I companies seem to be gaining and taking over. It is said in the near future all movies will be A.I. created. Stolen from creators.
Tom shared yesterday that his oldest brother who is in a wheelchair for the last 24 years from a head on collision praises the Lord and says it is the best thing that ever happened to him. Tom said another one in the comments yesterday said he is paralyzed from the neck down for years and years and yet he praises God. So amazing, a testimony.
Gospel of Salvation:
Humble ourself of pride and say I’m a sinner and need payment for these sins and know Jesus did that for us. He paid for our sins with His blood. Tom says we need to throw away pride. Says watch a grown man say I’m a sinner, a wretch. It’s not easy to do, many can’t. But we are and need Jesus.
Cling to Him, thanking Him forever and ever. We will always sing His praises. A future so amazing. Can’t wait to be with Him!
Today's Scriptures:
Isaiah 41:10 - ‘Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
1 Corinthians 14:33a - For God is not the author of confusion but of peace
James 3:16-18 - For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Psalm 55:22 - Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
