Sunday Sermon (2)
Today we finish our look at current events through the lens of the Bible. Our God is a Covenant-Keeper who promises restoration to His people Israel! Zechariah 14: 3 Then the Lord will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east.

Hamas is an Islamic, Jihadist, terrorist group that exists to eliminate the state of Israel and all Jewish people.
Their constitution: Aug 18th, 1988
The preamble: the destruction of Israel
1. “Israel will exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” Article 11 and 13
a. “The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf (Holy Possession) consecrated for future Muslim generations until the Judgment Day. No one can renounce it or abandon any part of it.” (Article 11).
b. “Palestine is an Islamic land. The liberation of Palestine is an individual duty of every Muslim wherever he may be.” (Article 13)
c. Peace initiatives and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of Islam.”
They do not want peace they do not want peace agreements.
d. “There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by jihad. Initiatives proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time an exercise in futility.” Article 13
To kill Jews to usher in their messiah.
1. “The day of judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them then the Jews will hide behind the rocks and trees and the rocks and trees will cry out “O Muslim there is a Jew hiding behind me come and kill him.” Article 7, Hamas Covenant

Iran's Agreement:
The general for the Islamic Revolution Guard of Iran, Hossein Salami, “Teheran’s strategy is to erase Israel from the global political map and it seems that considering the evil that Israel is doing it is bringing itself closer to that”

Israel has a Right to Exist--Ordained by God
Whenever God makes a covenant, Satan opposes it!
(Adamic, Marriage, Salvation by Grace)
Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity (open hostility) Between you and the woman, And between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head,And you shall [only] bruise His heel.” AMP
A prophecy of Jesus' ultimate defeat of Satan
a. "He shall bruise your head": Game over. Before it begins. God knew what He was doing all along.
b. He wanted more than 'innocent man', He wanted 'redeemed' man
This sets the pattern that Satan's opposition to the Covenants of God always backfire. Always.

It seems like Israel is always at War?
Who are they? “Palestinians are a collection of Arabs from different countries all around that predominantly moved into Israel, which was called Palestine regardless of them; the name Palestine started in 135 AD by Cesar Hadrian, who wanted to mock the Jews for rebelling against him and named the land after the philistines their Old Testament foes. The funny thing is that most of the Arabs came as a result of the return of the Jews to the land”…Amir Tsarfati

Zechariah 14 speaks of a future day when Jerusalem will be plundered by its enemies. Verse 2 prophesies that all nations will gather against Jerusalem and capture and ransack the city. 1/2 of the citizens of Jerusalem will flee the devastation, but the other 1/2 will remain. This will be ½ of the 1/3 of the Jewish population still alive in Jerusalem after the Tribulation (13:8).
It's all about trying to prevent Jesus from returning and rescuing His People.
