This Could Reshape The Entire Region—AGAIN!

0:00A lot of stuff going on on this September 11th, Russia Shana, Feast of Trump, it's weekend, and we're going to try to cover everything that's going on. My name is Tom. You are watching the Watch and River channel. I'm really glad you're here. I hope you're well. Again, today is September 11th, 2026, and a beautiful day here by the river in the middle of Connecticut. As far as a live studio audience goes, crickets. And I don't mean crickets have shown up. Not even the crickets showed up. But there's nothing here today. I don't see any birds. I don't see any squirrels. But if that changes, I'll let you know. Okay? Before we get into the seriousness of our chat today, I think it's important always to start off with the word of God. I'm going to read the 23rd Psalm today. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makeeth me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. He leadeth me in the past of righteousness for his name's sake.

1:00Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou prepares to 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. I heard that. So I guess we should probably start off here. It is the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. And actually last night in New York City, they had a drone display that used 2977 drones and it recreated the twin towers and each one of those drones was representing a life lost on 9-11. I think most of us who are old enough to remember exactly where we were and what we were

2:03doing 25 years ago this morning. I remember just looking at a computer screen to get ready for my day in my home office. And I saw a thumbnail picture on a news site that showed one of the World Trade Center towers on fire. And I thought that's not funny. I thought it was almost like a meme or something. And I clicked on it and it said that a plane had flown into the first tower. And I just ran immediately downstairs because I was living in a two-family house. And I went to talk to the people downstairs and said to them, turn on the TV, turn on the TV right now. And I mean the moment they turned on the TV, the newscaster said the second tower, which was just struck. And we didn't know what was going on. Anyone, everyone has the memory of where they were that day. But we had no clue if we were truly under attack or what was going on. And 25 years later we still don't know really exactly what happened.

3:05I don't think maybe we do. Some are sure they do. Some are not sure. But I know one thing. Everything turned a corner that day. And I remember saying to those people that day who were believers, we're in the last days. 25 years ago, I'm like, we just turned a major corner. And you know what? Anyone who is old enough to remember what life was like before 9-11 and life was like in this country after 9-11, there were major changes. Major changes. Remember walking into an airport and you could go all the way, there was no security. You know, I think there might have been a metal detector. I didn't even know if there was that. But we just walked right up to where the flights were. We'd hug our loved ones. We'd see them off. And everything changed in every way after 9-11. But we do remember the families and the victims of that day. 25 years, can you believe it's been 25 years? And who knew when that happened that 25 years later to the day the feast of trumpets would

4:05be on that day? You wonder. You just wonder. Could it have been some kind of 25 year warning to the United States? I don't know. God knows. I don't know. We're living in a fascinating weekend this weekend between Feesa Trumpits and remembering 9-11 and they've got a BRICS conference and other things are going on. Just an incredible weekend. Listen to this Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, called President Trump twice yesterday, urging a strike on the Houthis. Trump refused. That was according to a sent comm commander Admiral Cooper flew to Riyadh Thursday for emergency coordination because the Houthis are really acting up. And this to me is pretty major. I mean, it could reshape the Middle East this region all over again. Once again, it could reshape this region because it looks like they are now the Houthis are in control of that straight.

5:06And it's just, you know, by the red sea. And it is a credible times we're living in. I keep telling you guys that I don't see peace coming to the Middle East. I see more war coming and I just saw a live studio audience member fly by and back of the car here. So there is somebody here. This was from the Iran observer on X. The Houthis have now taken full control of the red sea and the Babel men deb straight. This development has already had a significant impact on the energy market. The price of diesel in the US has officially surpassed $6 and the price of oil has reached $108 a barrel. In addition, Iran has struck two oil tankers and the Saudi oil pipeline intended to bypass the straight of her moves is likely damaged. They're not sure about this, but they think that the Saudi Arabian pipeline that's being built so they wouldn't have to, wouldn't even have to like deal with the straight of her moves.

6:06They think that might have gotten blown up yesterday part of it. Don't know. I can't verify that yet. This is what Amir Sarfati had to say about this. Interesting. He said on Wednesday, Saudi backed Yemeni forces announced they had made significant achievements on the ground in the north and central desert areas and appeared to have broken through Houthi lines. So this is the Yemeni army. But in reality, the Houthis simply reposition their forces, giving up the open areas so that they could take over the more important western coastline. By Thursday early morning, the Iranian-backed militia seized the strategic coastline and port city of Mocha, I don't know how you pronounce that, Mocha, Mocha, MOCH, C-H-A. After government forces retreated on mass. And so rather than an overwhelming blitz by the Saudi-backed forces, the sides essentially swapped territories with the Houthis gaining the strategic coastline along with the Red Sea.

7:06That's what they wanted anyway. Looks like they got what they wanted. This will allow them to pose a more direct threat to shipping in the Babel-Mandeb straight, thus increasing the threat to Saudi Arabia. These things aren't just going to be ignored. These things are just watching the whole Middle East. It's on the verge of something. Do you feel that? I mean, I know we've watched war there since October 7, 2023. But just it looks like something's being framed up for something major. I'm hoping we're going home soon. Because I really do think we're living in the last days. I'm waiting for Jesus. I'm not predicting a day or an hour, but I'm saying I hope we go home soon. Then again, Amir said, the Yemen's Houthis seized the param, the Mayun island, and completed the control of the Babel-Mandeb straight. According to reports, the Houthis backed by Iran has completed its takeover of the island of Mayun, param, located at the heart of the Babel-Mandeb straight.

8:09If these reports are accurate, Amir said, this move gives the organization direct physical control over one of the world's most sensitive and important shipping and energy routes. So you got Iran playing with the Shred of Ramuz, and now you got the Houthis controlling this route. So far, the Houthis are saying, no, we'll let everything go. It was normal. Everything's fine. See how long that lasts. Again, Yemen's Houthis took over key islands in the Red Sea, completing their push to seize the control of that straight. What else? The Houthis gained control of Yemen's Red Sea, threatening the key shipping route, and I really believe that as we go further down this path, at some point they are going to say, and it's going to be to do with Israel. We're not going to let anything come through that has anything to do with Israel. That's coming, probably in the next few days. Who knows?

9:10Iran's Supreme Leader's advisor says the Houthi advance in Yemen is a resounding victory. Of course, you'd say that. Then we got this. Iran fires electro-optical missile for the first time, aiming at U.S. warships, according to reports. Iran used its new electro-optical missiles for the first time, and it attempted to attack on U.S. warships on Wednesday, officials claimed. There you go. They got a new missile that didn't work because it didn't hit anything. It got fired out of the sky from what I heard. And then this is so true. One more from a Mirsafati because this is so true. He said, the Iranians don't stop. Iran continues at Pickaxe Mountain, deep inside their newest and most heavily fortified nuclear facility. Their proxies in Yemen are gaining control of a strategic coastal region and moving closer to the Babel-Mandab strait, and they have it now.

10:12For the millionth time, this regime was not made for PACs, deals, or any form of compromise. This Jehidah's regime will not stop until it fulfills what it believes is its Allah-given goal, either to dominate the world or plunge it into the chaos necessary for the body to appear. Someone asked me whether the war with Iran had ended. My answer was clear. It hasn't even started. Anything short of breaking the neck of this regime will not bring peace to the region. It will only invite the next war, and we all know what the future holds. There will be another war. And I think he's speaking of the Ezekiel 38 war. Yes, that's why they will not be completely destroyed right now. Iran, no way, no how. And again, Iran continues their ballistic missile production in underground facilities, despite US and Israeli claims of major destruction. They're talking about Pickaxe Mountain, and I'm not going to sing the song.

11:13I told you I'm done with that song. I know you guys want to hear the song, but I'm done with that song. We got to move on. Turn the page. Just like I guess I should address this. Many people are asking about this. At the beginning of my videos, I always played this theme song and did it for, I don't know, about a year and a half. And it was a song that Mark and I wrote watching River Music. And the reason I stopped playing it is when I was looking at my analytics of YouTube, I realized that new viewers 80 to 90% of them would leave within 10 seconds. That is when that song was still playing. And I'm trying to fish for men here. I share the gospel every day. And I thought it's way more important for new viewers who are brought in by the title of the video or the thumbnail for me to get right to things than for them to hear the opening theme song. Because then they're leaving and we want more people on the arc.

12:13And many people have been led to the Lord and believe in the gospel because of these videos. So we're fishing for men. So the theme song is still at the end of the video. And you can always find it the whole song on the Watch and River Music channel. So that's the reason I keep forgetting to address that. Like the fourth or fifth day I think that I haven't used it. So there you go. It's still there at the end. And then we got this. Bubba News shared this on Telegram. Today ahead of Rosh Hashanah, because he wrote this last night, Netanyahu made this pledge directly at the Western Wall. Quote, President Trump announced this evening that Iran is trying to arm itself again with nuclear weapons. That is correct. I pledge to you here at the Western Wall ahead of Rosh Hashanah, as long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. And he ended with a promise saying, quote, more to come. Bubba said, notice how Israel has continued to taunt Iran this entire week.

13:14It's as if they are playing chicken in the street. You don't taunt unapologetically without knowing that you have the knockout punch. True right there. True. So why we're seeing everything right now. It's just something, run the verge of something huge in the Middle East. I think most of you see that. According to the comments most of you do. This is from Israel today on Telegram. The Israeli Army on Thursday night destroyed the underground facilities in the Ali Al-Tahir Ridge area of southern Lebanon after recently establishing operational control over the strategic Hezbollah installation. The terrorist infrastructure that was dismantled extended for more than two kilometers. Dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles and UAVs, as well as machine guns, dozens of anti-tank missiles and hundreds of mines and explosive devices were located inside. Well, if you noticed in the video they are no longer there.

14:15They went Kabumi. That was a massive explosion. They said it even caused a 4.1 earthquake in the region. So there you go. This was Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz reaction. This is what they said. This was a strategic terror infrastructure built over two decades with Iranian funding and planning. The terror infrastructure and the command center on the ridge were designed to serve as the staging base for the conquest of the Galilee and had observation and fire dominance over Matula and Kariyaat Shimonah. Their destruction completes the achievement of operational control over this ridge above and below ground. So there you go. It is no more as of right now. It is gone. What else? You guys okay? It might be the right time. You know what I am going to say? You pause the video. You go get yourself a snack.

15:17Amir Sarfati and speaking about how this Hezbollah command center was blown up. He said, Will Iran respond as it promised? Because Iran kept saying, if you blow that up, we are going to respond. They blew it up last night. Is Iran going to respond? What are we looking at this weekend? Who knows? Israel today. Here this on telegram, American opinion turns against Israel. Well, when you watch what's the mainstream media? Just watch it. You know, they brainwashed everyone. A new Quinnipiac poll finds that more registered U.S. voters now sympathize with the Palestinians than with the Israelis. A dramatic shift from the overwhelming support Israel received after Hamas's October 7th massacre. The results underscore the political and cultural challenge facing Israel as the war against Hamas and Iran's terror network continues. The whole world is going to turn against Israel. It's foretold. You know, we get tomorrow's news today because we have the word of God.

16:19The entire world is going to turn against them, including the United States completely. At some point, what else? This is from insider paper. Iran and China among countries that have used AI to aid spying anthropic says. In one case, Iranian actors developed a way to identify people through their social media accounts. Lovely. Anthropic also disrupted efforts by users to design weapons, conduct questionable biological research and create dating scams. Well, there you go. There we got some news about Russia. NATO confronted Russian submarines testing secret weapon aimed at undersea cables. The leaders reported this that British, Norwegian and US forces tracked and confronted Russian submarines near Svalbard, disrupting and exercise involving technology designed to disable vital undersea cables without leaving clear traces.

17:20Now this report came out yesterday, but they're talking about this operation took place. I think back in April. If I'm correct, I think it was back in April. Then we got the big bricks powwow going on this weekend. Russian President Putin arrived in New Delhi, India for the Bricks talks, the Bricks Summit. China says it is ready to work with BRICS members in long term cooperation and development. That is the new world order forming right there. Iranian President Pzezegin, he arrived in India for the BRICS Summit. So they're all meeting. You know, you got the mayor of Iran. You got the mayor of Russia and you got the mayor of China. Actually, the president's. But they're all meeting. Big powwow, BRICS. Everyone's going to be there. Cookies, foods from many lands. All stuff that we won't be able to take part in quite frankly. I don't think I'd want to be there. Anyway, Russia warns this is from insider paper. Russia warns it would aim its nuclear warheads at Lithuania if NATO allies store nuclear weapons

18:25on Lithuanian territory. And this is after Lithuania plans to lift its constitutional ban on storing nuclear weapons to strengthen security amid Russia's war in Ukraine. And the Kremlin spokesperson Demetri Peskov called the plan a very serious turn and warned it would escalate tensions and place Lithuania in Russia's crosshairs. Rumors of wars. Murt We Told? Didn't Jesus tell us? I mean, this world is just. There's one word I won't use to describe this world right now. Stable. It's just, you know, it's just crazy what we're seeing right now. Really crazy. Again, the U.S. national average diesel price has crossed $6 a gallon for the very first time ever. $6 a gallon for diesel. Credible. What else? Insider paper shared this. The U.S. weather agency said Thursday that the El Nino pattern in the Pacific was strengthening

19:25and there was a 75% chance it would reach historic intensity this year. There was only four months left to this year. Forecasters have been tracking an exceptional El Nino this year as the climate phenomenon has gained pace, driving tropical Pacific sea temperatures to record highs. Scientists are increasingly confident that this super El Nino, and no, it's not a computerized vacuum cleaner, it just sounds like one, it could exceed any in the modern era with potentially damaging knock on impacts around the globe. So there you go. They're looking at this super El Nino and no, it's not a vacuum cleaner, only to me it is. Super El Nino cleans your carpets and seconds flat. Earthquakes the last 24 hours, 47 over 4.0 and 16 over 5.0. So there you go. There was actually one that came in about an hour before I hit record at 6.2. It was in Indonesia, but they lowered it to a 5.9. So there you go.

20:25You are caught up and one day soon we will be caught up to meet the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, which leads me to the question of the day. What is your favorite verse about grace? That's my question of the day. And I'm no longer going to answer these questions because I like to see your answers and maybe the next day I will answer the question when I read some of the answers. But that's your question. What's your favorite verse regarding grace? All right. It is time to go to C-L-O-Triple W-O-N World, Cala-N World. Anthropic says it blocked possible attempts to use AI to develop bio weapons. Let's get out of clown world, please quickly. It says it blocked multiple accounts that used the company's artificial intelligence models in ways that could support the development of biological weapons.

21:29In a report published yesterday on Thursday, the AI company known for its quad model said it considers biological misuse one of the most serious risks to artificial intelligence models. You think so? The new report outlines five real life case studies in which users circumvented controls that block users from specific regions and engaged in other efforts to obfuscate the purpose of the research to evade our safeguards. In other words, they were crack at the code there. They were using Claude. They want to make some fun toys. One day we will never have to talk about bio weapons and war. I can't wait. The examples include possible gain of function research and involve both infectious diseases, such as bird flu, venoms and toxins. Looking over 30 days of activity, a traffic said it identified about 35 distinct research efforts with potentially concerning activity.

22:29However, it acknowledged that it could not be certain whether the actor's intended harm or were conducting research for legitimate scientific purposes. Yeah, right. Nobody means harm in this world. Everyone's got it. Moon beams and lollipops. These are happy bio weapons, you know? Not funny. Bio weapons are not funny, really. We're living in the last days. How's about? We read a few comments of the day. Shall we? Let's see what we got here. Sherry. AI warnings remind me of the past 50 years of cigarettes having warnings that it maybe has to do with your health right on the package. But no one pays attention until they get cancer or emphysema. Yeah, yeah. They keep warning us. And that's a good analogy. They're warning us about AI and warning us and warning us and warning us. But they keep building it. They keep pushing it on us.

23:29Thank you, sister. Yesterday's question of the day was what is your favorite chapter in the Bible that you could read over and over again? The whole truth said, for right now, my top chapter is Psalm 34. But it's because I'm memorizing it. So I'm really concentrating on that right now. Once I get it memorized, I'll move on to another chapter. It's awesome, sis. Thanks for sharing that. That is a great song, by the way. Great song. Good song too. You know, Psalm 34, Shane and Shane did a great song. I don't know what it's called. I think it might be called Psalm 34 or something. Can't remember. Laurie, question of the day, her answer is Romans 8. That's the chapter I'd be left clinging to if you ripped my Bible out of my hands. There's so much goodness in that chapter. But lately, I've been focused on the promise of a resurrected creation. While presently, the, the old earth is groaning for it just like we are. Amen.

24:30Thank you, sister. Romans 8 is amazing. A lot of Bible scholars say it's the most important chapter in the entire Bible. You know, it's just incredible. Debi, the most hilarious thing is that when they are watching us talking about all those surveillance we talked about yesterday, when they are watching us, the God of the universe is watching them and knows every thought, motive, action and plan they have. The watchers are being watched. Accountability will be certain. That's a great comment, Debi. Thank you. Let's do one more. I like this comment from Mike. Just this year alone, we have the disclosure of all the UFOs. We've had some major earthquakes. We've had major volcanoes, tornadoes, mudslides, flooding, wildfires. And now AI says that we're all going to be dead in less than 10 years. I would hate to think of living in this world without Jesus. He definitely gives us the peace.

25:31That surpasses all understanding. Even so, come Lord Jesus. That's a great comment, Mike. Yeah, I mean, it's hard. Your hard pressed when you look at everything that's going on in this world right now, simultaneously. Your hard pressed to think there's years left. I just can't imagine. You know, I'm waiting for Jesus now. And I know many of you are now. Today, as I always say at the end of the video, today is a perfectly good day for the rapture. I'm waiting now. Am I going to say that rapture is happening today? No, I am not. People are saying it is happening today. I am saying every day today is a perfectly good day for the rapture. Do you know why I say that? I never put my faith in a date because I never want to wake up the next day discouraged. And you know what? I've had people. I remember last September when everyone was excited about, I believe September 23rd. And everyone was excited. And I kept saying like, you know, don't put your faith in that day. I don't want to squash anyone's excitement who's excited for the return of Jesus because

26:33I'm excited for it. So I don't want to squash that. So I'll never criticize anyone for putting their faith in a date. I will just say, don't put your faith in a date because you know what? When all said and done, for those who think we're definitely being raptured today or tomorrow, you know what? If Monday comes, are we not in the last days anymore? Is it like game over? You know, that's I don't I don't want to wake up Monday morning discouraged. So I'm always excited for the return of Jesus day by day. But we may have to face Monday and I don't want to be discouraged that day. So I will say again today that today is a perfectly good day for the rapture. But keep your eyes on Jesus. It's in his perfect timing. The most high God is going to send Jesus in the perfect time. But the question is, do you know Jesus? Do you belong to him? Do you understand what happened two thousand years ago, which was the greatest event in human history? He had made an appearance on earth. Jesus was born of a virgin conceived by the Holy Spirit.

27:33He left a throne in heaven to make his appearance here. And why did he come here? It's a love story. He came here because he loves you so much. He knows you can't get to heaven without him. He knows it. And he came here to pay for our sins with his blood. Because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. According to Hebrews 9.22, blood has to be shed in order for sin to be removed, erased, forgiven, forgotten. And Jesus came here to do that. Do you know why? Because he wants to spend forever and ever with you. And he paged your way with a serious payment, a blood payment. He went to a bloody cross. He died a criminal's death. And he was fully God, fully man. He was perfect. He never sinned, not even once. Did he deserve to go to that cross? Absolutely not. He did it because he loves you. He wants to spend forever with you. But here's the catch. You have to believe it. He wants people who will believe in him with their free will. He could have created robots that would just say, Hallelujah, forever and ever.

28:35And he wouldn't have had to go to a cross. He could have just, but you know what? He created us and we are fallen creatures. And we, with our free will, we have to choose to believe in the atoning blood of Jesus and in his finished work on the cross. He wants us to. God doesn't want anyone to perish, but that all should come to repentance. He doesn't want anyone to go to hell. Hell wasn't created for mankind. It was created for Satan and his angels. But if you hear the good news, the gospel, and you're like, not a want that. It's the only other, that's the flip side to the coin. You know, it's either eternity with Jesus or eternity separated. That's what it is. So in order to be saved, you just have to understand you're a sinner that needs payment for your sins. When you say to Jesus, Jesus, I admit I'm a sinner. I know I'm a sinner. I think things that are wrong. I've said things that are done things, said things. I'm a sinner. I need your atoning blood to wash me white as snow. And Jesus, now I have faith in your blood that it'll remove my sins away from me.

29:37All of them past, present and future. And it'll wash me white as snow. And Jesus, I believe in your finished work on the cross. You were nailed to that cross. That's why you came here and you shed that precious blood. You died, you were buried and you rose again the third day. I mean, that is amazing. And you said, Jesus, you are the one and only savior of the world. And now I belong to you at that moment of belief in the atoning blood of Jesus and in that beautiful gospel, the death, the burial, the resurrection of Jesus at that moment. You are saved. God will place the Holy Spirit in you. You will be ready for the rapture if it happens soon. You will be sealed into the day of redemption. You will be born again and he won't let you out of the palm of his hand. He wants to spend forever and ever with you and he paid your way. What are you going to do with that? Do you hear that and still say, well, I just don't, I just don't believe. Well, take my challenge. Okay. Pick up a Bible. You can get them anywhere. They're a bunch of dollar store has them.

30:37Pick up a Bible, go to the book of John and just say this prayer before you begin. Even if you don't believe in Jesus, say Jesus, I don't even believe in you. But if you are real, reveal yourself to me because anyone with an ounce of common sense would, if Jesus is real and if Jesus is the king of kings and the Lord of lords, you would think they would say, well, if you are real, let me know. But say that prayer and you know what? Start reading the book of John. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe you'll say, Tom, I wasted an hour of my life. But you know what? Maybe everything. Maybe today is that day where everything changes for you. Maybe today is the day that you look back on for eternity and say, I remember the day when I finally got to the end of myself and realized, I'm a sinner and I need payment for these sins and Jesus paid for my sins. You know, you could have new life today. Don't put it off. Don't put it off. You know, you do not want to face Jesus on judgment day when your sins are still with you and you know it and you know you're in trouble.

31:37You know you're kneeling before the king of kings and the Lord of lords. You know you're in the presence of God and then you're sent off to eternity separated from God. You know, I wouldn't wish my worst enemy there. Honestly, it's why I share the gospel every day. I know that why does the path to destruction? I know that more people will hear this who don't know the Lord and say, nah, I'm okay. I'll take my chances. Then people who will say, oh, Jesus, my king and my God. But I hope that some of you have new life today. Okay. I pray for you because I prayed for every person who had watched this video before I recorded it. So like it or not, you have been prayed for today. And if we're not raptured today and I think again, today, I think it's perfectly good day for the rapture. But if not, God willing, I will see you guys tomorrow. I love you guys. Oh Jesus, save you. Master, creator, you're the author.

32:38Oh, they are your the king of kings.
