O Jesus, save your master, create a God the Alpha, O Baker, you're the King of kings. Hey there my friends, it's Tom with Watchman River. I am so glad you're here. I hope you're doing well. Today is Friday, September 4th, 2026, a beautiful day here by the river in the middle of Connecticut. And as far as a live studio audience goes, I have a squirrel down the street and I've got a few birds across the street. So that qualifies as a live studio audience. We have a lot of stuff to cover today. So I want to go right to scripture. I like to start off there. I think it's very important. Let's go to Isaiah 43 verses 1 and 2. But now, thus as the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and he who formed you, O Israel, fear not for I have redeemed you.

I have called you by your name. You are a mind. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. 3. The 23rd Psalm. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He make it me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreeth my soul. He leadeth me in the past of righteousness for his name's sake. Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thou rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou prepares the table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runeth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Give me an amen. Thank you. Are you going to dwell in the house of the Lord forever? Do you know Jesus? I really, really hope you do. If you don't, please keep watching this. You could have new life today. This very day, everything could change for you. Okay. We are living in amazing times right now in this world. Just amazing times. And it seems like just about every day we are here waiting for Jesus gathering together as we see the day approaching. Things are being unleashed on us. These tech overlords, these tech giants are releasing things on us that are just incredible to see and how fast this is coming. You know, and the people unleashing all these new AI things and the human world lots and stuff, they always seem to present these things to sighted. They'll say, well, it's great. It does this, it does that. It does this great opportunity, but also we're a little bit worried about it. It might be a little out of control. It's like, well, great.

That's like mom serving the brownies and going, don't they look delicious? Take one, boys. There is one with poison in it, but you know, just take a brownie. I don't feel like it, but we're seeing right now. They never seem to be all that confident about what they're unleashing on us. And it happened again yesterday as they released Astra, not Astro, not the Jetsons dog. No, Astro. It's open AIs, new, new, new gig, new thing they are going here in Sam Altman. Is the one who is the CEO of this company and it said, open AIs Altman warns of the superhuman AI era. I love how they release a new product with a warning immediately. Open AIC, CEO Sam Altman sounded the alarm over a new generation of artificial intelligence models. He said are becoming superhuman in some areas. Warning, the technology is advancing into unknown territory as his company prepares to release its powerful astromodel.

Astra opened his next generation model was released yesterday on Thursday. And Altman suggested its capabilities will provide a glimpse of where AI is headed. I can tell you where it's headed straight to the seven year tribulation. The B system, that's where it's headed. But, quote, the next generation of models are going to be sobering for everybody. I think no one intellectually honest can look at what's happening and not feel the weight of responsibility in front of us. Altman said, these models are getting superhuman in many of their capabilities and we are just sailing in unknown waters. How weird to be alive in a day when they release these things and say things like that. You know, don't know where this is going. Enjoy it though. It's going to cross you 25 bucks a month or whatever it is. You know, don't know where it's going though. Could be really bad. It might be great. You know, Altman's warning comes as open AI faces scrutiny after a swarm of its agents went rogue during testing and hacked AI company hugging face, raising concerns about whether safeguards can keep pace with increasing increasingly capable systems.

We are a pragmatic centrist, he said. We want to be accurate in how we talk about what we see in the future. We don't want to fall into the trap of blind optimism. We don't want to fall into doom or is so it's somewhere there in the middle of it. That's why they say it's going to be great, but we might all die. You know, seven year tribulation. It's coming soon sooner than most people think. So then we got this other thing beginning of Saros news shared this on telegram. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik held a fireside chat with an anthropic co founder and chief compute officer Tom Brown at the G 20 innovation ministerial. Brown predicts that in five to 10 years, the economic and scientific impacts of AI will be immense, noting that humanitarian humanity might even underestimate the speed and magnitude of this transformation. They keep telling us that some of them are telling us that 2027 is the year they're going to make AI be gods, you know, that and nothing's going to look the same in 2027 that it does now.

That's the year everything changes. Incredible. Doesn't I don't I'm not afraid of any of this. I belong to the king of kings and the Lord of lords, the one who spoke and nothing became everything. So when you have faith in Jesus, you get this piece that surpasses understanding, but I just say, what are they unleashing now? You know, astro. I'm going to call it astro. I don't think I'm going to call it astro. I like I'm an old guy in the Jetsons were childhood heroes of mine. You know, I always waited for all the things they had and I think we've surpassed the Jetsons now. But do you see where their world is headed right now? We're headed toward the seven year tribulation. Listen to this one from n times headlines. America is moving rapidly toward a digital financial future. The transformation of our financial system continues to accelerate. The SEC has unveiled a sweeping proposal designed to bring cryptocurrency companies, digital assets and investment capital back onto American soil.

With SEC chairman Paul Atkins describing it as a major step toward fulfilling the goal of making the United States the crypto capital of the world. At the same time, America is moving deeper into tokenization, blockchain technology, stable coins and increasingly digital financial infrastructure. Well, yeah, because they have to have the mark of the piece during the seven year tribulation and everything's got to be digital and we're there. We're waiting for Jesus right now as I say every day because we are. They're setting the stage for the seven year tribulation in every possible way right now. We're not long for this world. We're going home soon. All right, let's see what's going on in the Middle East. I'm here. Sarfati shared this yesterday around seven p.m. Israeli time breaking news. Israel has raised its level of readiness for a possible Iranian strike. Most details remain under military censorship. It's getting ready. You know, Iran is threatening and there are a lot of threats, a lot of wars and rumors of wars. Jesus told us that's the way it would be.

In the in the last days, but the the Middle East is just it's getting ready. This was shared from a journalist from the Iranian times. Iran could potentially target Israel on Russia, Shana, the Jewish New Year, which falls on September 11th this year. It's a week from today. The timing would be highly provocative, coinciding with the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. Maybe Iran is thinking, you know, they always call us the United States, the great Satan and Israel, the little Satan. And maybe they're thinking if they do a strike on that day, they're getting us both, you know, because it's the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks a week from today. And it's Russia, Shana, you know, but they are threatening, left and right. C-14 news in Israel said Israeli officials are preparing for possible Iran offensive in the coming weeks. A senior political source told Channel 14 today, the Iranian regime feels it's reached a dead end and the only way out is through renewed war.

We're definitely detecting the signs and they're serious. I think it's coming to the Middle East soon, prophetic wars. I don't see any kind of prolonged peace, you know, I hate war, but I don't see any kind of prolonged peace. I think biblical wars are coming and I just think we're there now. This is what Bubba had to say from Bubba News on Telegram. He said today, meaning last night, on the eve of the Jewish New Year, Netanyahu stood before Israel's top military brass, defense minister Katz, chief of staff Zameer, and the entire general staff forum and he raised a toast. Not a quiet policy briefing, a toast with his commanders at IDF headquarters, the chief captains said Bubba, Sakurai at 12, 5 and 6. And in that room, surrounded by the men who will carry out whatever comes next, he said it plainly, this Iranian regime is staggering right now.

It is weaker than ever. It is fighting for its life. Yeah, I think Israel is realizing too. You know, like if we're going to end this regime once and for all, which I don't believe they will because Iran will be there for the ZEQ 38 war, but I think they're thinking now's the time. There are economies and shambles. They seem, you know, we've taken them back a few years in their programs, even though they still have a lot of stuff. Let's get them now. Then Netanyahu named the mission out loud. I am confident in our ability to remove this threat once and for all. This means toppling this Iranian regime. That is the central mission still before us. It is within our reach. Let's put it this way. This is what Bubba is saying now. Let's put it this way. Israeli leadership does not gather its top generals for a toast on the holiest days of the year, unless something real is getting ready to be put into motion. And it's not happening in isolation. Iran struck US bases in the UAE today, and he's talking about yesterday.

Kuwait intercepted an Iranian missile and drone attack and Israeli intelligence believes Iran's kudes force and Hamas are actively working to strike Israeli globally via terrorist attacks, specifically targeting this Jewish holiday window. I believe this is the moment said Bubba. Israel isn't just preparing for a possible Iranian strike anymore. Regime change in Tehran is now an official Israeli war aim, spoken out loud at a holiday toast in front of the men who will make it happen. This year, I believe Israel is ready to go all the way. The alarms of limited attacks have been the test runs. And I really don't think we will have to wait very much longer to see what happens next. I totally agree. That's just the way it all looks like it's framed up right now. Again, you know, don't let these things in the last days trouble you a few belong to Jesus. You know, he's totally in control. He's not rattled. He's not nervous about anything. And he's coming soon.

So pause the video. Maybe right now and go get us a snack. I'm hungry today. I don't know why I'm really hungry. So I want to I want a good size snack like a, I don't know, a huge roast beef sandwich or something with a provolone cheese and mayonnaise and lettuce and tomato. But you know, if you bring me back or cracker, I will say thank you. I'm not, you know, or don't bring me back anything. Just get yourself. Just think of yourself. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm goofy. I'm in a goofy mood. Let's go here. IDF soldiers guided by the ISA completed a 48 hour brigade level counterterrorism operation in the area of nobleness and the surrounding areas. As part of the operation, the soldiers dismantled more than 30 weapon production machines used for the production of weapons and they confiscated concealed weapons, including firearms, handguns and ammunition. In addition, the soldiers searched hundreds of sites. They questioned dozens of suspects and apprehended more than 10 wanted individuals. There you go. There you go.

Then we got this, Oman's Sultan to visit the UK as tensions grow between the US and Iran. Everyone knows even even some of the secular world is really understanding that we're on the eve of something major in this world. Then we got this. If you remember, US President Trump said back in August in a social media post that he had scaled back the US South Korea joint military exercises in part because South Korea had declined to help the US in the war against Iran. Well, I think South Korea got the message because this morning I saw this South Korea is preparing to deploy military assets to support freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and aims to dispatch them before the end of the year media reported late last night, citing government and military sources. So they are going to do that. There you go.

This is from Israel today on telegram the IDF marks a major advance against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The IDF says it has cleared Hezbollah operatives from a major underground complex in southern Lebanon and Iranian plan network built over two decades to support attacks on Israel. Two tunnel routes, commander centers, weapons rooms and living quarters uncovered beneath the Ali L to hear Ridge Netanyahu called the news huge. Remember, didn't Iran threaten earlier this week that if they got rid of those guys in there because there was a running IRGC guys in there too that they were going to retaliate and it happened yesterday. I heard that they eliminated some and some fled. So some of them fled alive and others they eliminated. We'll see where that goes. We got this from Israel today. Gaza's Hamas run economy ministry reported destroying listen to this you'll never ever ever hear this on mainstream media.

Gaza's Hamas run economy ministry has reported destroying more than 30 tons of food over the previous two weeks. Israel's defense ministry said citing the report as evidence that food entering the Gaza strip exceeds the population's needs. The reported disposals included 13 and a half tons of frozen chicken in central Gaza, 2.1 tons of frozen poultry in Han Unis and other spoiled food products. When food accumulates until its spoils and must be destroyed on this scale, the conclusion is clear. This is not a shortage Israeli officials said calling Gaza an oversupplied market suffering from poor storage and mismanagement. There you go. We haven't talked about Kim Jong Un this week, but it's time because he needs the attention. So I saw this this morning. North Korea rejects the U.S. demands to denuclearize and it said it will expand its nuclear arsenal.

So like no, we're not going to denuclearize. We are going to expand our nukes. Yay. Join the club. Everybody in the world wants to do that, right? The death toll from the floods in Nepal has risen to 1287 and there are still over 5,000 people missing. So please keep praying for them. But there was good news. Check this out. Two people have been pulled out alive from a hydro power tunnel in Nepal nine days after this deadly flash floods. And they were buried there and they were trapped there and nine days later they rescued two. I saw one in that video. But that's that's pretty amazing. Praise God. Praise God. Okay, there you go. Earthquakes the last 24 hours went up a little bit as compared to yesterday 66 over 4.0 25 over 5.0 and 1 over 6.0.

So there you go. You are caught up and we shall be caught up soon in the twinkling of a night. All right. Let's go to the question of the day. Question of the day. What's your favorite Jesus said verse? Now this is a hard one. It's a hard one. I know because I'm going to tell you what are my favorites and I'm going to call up my favorite for today. But it could change by 3 p.m. today. But John 14, 6 Jesus said to him, I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. So what's your what's your Jesus said your favorite Jesus said verse at least for today because we all know you could almost put everything he ever said as your favorite Jesus said. But I thought that would be fun. Let me know. Okay. Let's do it. Let's go to Clown World. You ready? Come with me. You're already in Clown World. So you might as well come. This is incredible. Right here. Listen to this.

SUNY BROOM accused of borrowing Christian's groups own leaders. So listen to this. A Christian student ministry has taken SUNY BROOM community college to federal federal court alleging the Binghamton area school refused to officially recognize the group unless it let non Christians lead its prayer worship and Bible teaching. Beckett, a religious liberty law firm filed the lawsuit on behalf of interversity Christian fellowship earlier this month arguing that SUNY BROOM's demand allegedly violates the group's first amendment rights. Hearing on interversities requests for a preliminary injunction is expected this fall the lawsuit alleges the college told interversity it could not keep a statement of faith in its constitution but could not it that it could keep a statement of faith in its constitution but could not require its own leaders to actually believe it.

So they so these college kids want to have this group and talk about Jesus and teach have a Bible study but they're like if you're not going to allow non believers to lead the worship. I mean that is like. It's just Clown World. It's Clown World. I mean, I can't even wrap my head around it but you know what? I can't wrap my head around most of the things I'm seeing these days in the last days. I can't we're seeing such crazy stuff right now. You know, so pray for these kids, you know, pray for this lawsuit to just so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous. Would they do that to Muslim students running somewhere like kind of club? I guarantee you they would not 100% they would not but Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Alright, comments of the day. Let's see if I can find them here. Alright, B. Love Shine said the apocalyptic language being used across the board and in all schools of thought is mind-boggling unless you have received the love of the truth and you are clearly aware we are in this season and the day is fast approaching.

We must be fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ every moment, amen sister every moment. You're right. You're right. Brothers and sisters, we are almost home said. I've been with you since year one. I too feel as you do today. Darker and darker and increasingly dangerous natural disasters all coming with greater intensity and frequency. Lord, please open our eyes and mouths to see the opportunities and speak of you in love. Fill us with your spirit. Lord, thank you that we have a heavenly forever home to look forward to in your presence and care in Jesus' name, amen. That's a good prayer. Thank you. I like this sister Louisa said, I just heard somebody say, if God is making you wait, then do what waiters do and serve. I love that and I love that too sister. Thank you. Love that.

Yesterday's question of the day was what is your go-to verse for fear? And Ron said, Proverbs 3, 5 through 6, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. That's a good one. Thank you, brother. Kathy, short and simple. I love this comment. I'm not looking back at this crazy world. I'm looking up my eyes are on Jesus, amen sister, amen. Mine are two. I think so many that watch this. Understand that we are in the very last days and we are waiting for Jesus right now. But do you know him? Do you belong to the King of kings and the Lord of lords? If you were to take your last breath today, would you be with Jesus? I hope so. I'll tell you what he did and you can know for certain that you will be with him if you were to take your last breath today. Because Jesus left a throne in heaven 2000 years ago to come here and he came here on a rescue mission. We know he did phenomenal things when he was here. His love, his healings, his teaching through parables, his miracles.

But he came here, the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. It was the mission to come here to pay for our sins with his blood. So he went to that cross for you and for me. And it just the love in that just blows my mind. Honestly, you know that Jesus would leave heaven to come here. Because once we sinned and we all sinned, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Now we need a payment for our sin. And according to God forever since before the foundations of the world, that payment is blood. That's how offensive sin is to the most high God. And we're all sinners. So we need this payment and we can't provide it for ourselves. And we can't be good enough to earn a blood payment. No way, no how. Jesus came here to make that payment. So all we have to do is understand that he left heaven to come here to go to that cross to pay for your sins with his blood. And when we say to Jesus, Jesus, I admit I'm a sinner, I understand I need payment for these sins.

I sin in my mind, I sin in my deeds, I need a payment. And I now realize the blood you shed is that payment. So I have faith in your blood that it'll wash me white as snow and completely remove my sin problem away from me as far as the east is from the west, meaning infinity. And once you have faith in that atoning blood that Jesus shed for you, you are saved. You are born again because God will place the Holy Spirit in you. So when you say Jesus, I believe in your atoning blood. And I also believe so importantly in your resurrection, your death, your burial, your resurrection, the finished work of the cross. When you believe those things, your new creation and Christ Jesus, you're born again. God will place the Holy Spirit in you. You will be sealed until the day of redemption. And he won't let you out of the palm of his hand. A serious, serious payment was made to rescue you 2000 years ago. What are you going to do with that? Don't reject this payment that was made to rescue you. You will regret that the moment you enter into eternity today is the day of salvation.

If this sounds like true to you, you run to Jesus today and have a talk with him. There's a lot of cars passing in front of me, of course, because I'm proclaiming the gospel. And this happens almost daily. A lot of bright lights, but you know what? Jesus wants to spend forever and ever with you in paradise and lavish you with good things. And the flip side to this coin is you hearing this and saying, well, I don't want that. Rejecting the payment that was made for you because you have to believe in this with your free will. Jesus could have just created robots who just loved him no matter what you know, we have to choose it with our free will. That's who we want to spend eternity with. The ones who will say, oh, Jesus, I'm a wretch. And you pay for my sins with your blood. Thank you. I believe in you. You are the savior of the world, the one and only. So that's why heaven's going to be amazing. And the flip side is, if you're like, well, I want that, you won't get it. You know, I hope you have a change of heart in mind before you take your last breath. But you will end up facing Jesus on judgment day. There will be no question.

You will know here in the presence of God. You will know it. And he'll say away from me. I never knew you and you will be eternally separated from God. And that is a nightmare. I wouldn't wish that in my worst enemy. And I promise you won't say to him, you're unfair. You're unjust because you will know, you know, I heard that gospel message. And if you just heard this gospel message message now, you are without excuse. You know, so today is the day of salvation. Okay. Today. All right. In my prayer time this morning, I said a prayer. Oh, that's a beautiful, beautiful, big bird. I'm sorry. I said a prayer for every single person who would watch this video. So like it or not, you have been prayed for today. And if we're not raptured today, and I think today is a perfectly good day for the rapture. But if not, God willing, I will see you guys tomorrow. I love you guys.

Oh, they are your the king of kings.
