Israel – size/pop NJ. – NOW: Jewish Prophecy pointing to Jewish Jesus 

The hamas spirit in the days of Noah (over 4000 years ago)

Genesis 6:11 “Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence [ḥā·mās].”

Hamas spirit  

-Hamas Arabic “zeal” = Palestinian acronym “Islamic Resistance Mov’t”.  

-Hamas Heb/Eng –violence, iniquity, wickedness, cruelty, lawlessness, rotten to the core 

-Filled/possessed w/Hamas spirit vs Filled w/Holy Spirit

            =God flooded the earth, only saved Noah’s family (ministry starts @ home) 

            =People groups have Hamas spirit after flood

-ḥā·mās = Chaldeans & Babyl (Jer 31:5), Shechemites (Ju 9:34); Egyptians (Joel 3:19)

???People died drowning, demons did not, later appear in other people groups 

The Abrahamic Covenant: Land, Lineage, Lord (4000 years ago Genesis 12,15,16)

Gen 12 – God called pagan man Abraham to leave family/home 

Gen 15 – Abrahamic Covenant unconditional 1. Land 2. Lineage 3. Lord  

=PROMISED LAND Israel w/boundaries (2000X OT; 700X NT) 

Gen 16 – Sarah asked & Abraham agreed – marry Hagar [Egyptian] & have Ishmael 

Gen 21 Sarah births Isaac & sends Hagar/Ishmael away 

=1 Covenant – 2 sons (Isaac v Ishmael) = Favoritism. Bitterness. 

The hamas spirit in the days of Abraham

Genesis 16:5 Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong [ḥā·mās] done to me be on you! I gave my servant [Hagar] to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived [Ishmael] , she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!”

(Gen 21) Hagar brought Hamas home = torment  2 yr old Isaac by 16 Hr old Ishmael 

Gen 16:12 – “[Ishmael]  shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him” (Oct 7, 2023 drug fueled filmed terrorist attack) 

·        Ishmaels 12 sons (like 12 tribes Israel) SURROUNDING NATIONS 

·        Hagar/Ishmael/Arabs incl Palestinians conflict w/Sarah/Isaac/Hebrews Israel 

·        God blessed both Isaac & Ishmael (own land & lineage)  

=War Promised Land = spiritual, between God & Satan, & continues until Jesus returns 

!Watch out for people who want to bring hamas into your home (adultery, forn, division)

The hamas spirit in the days of Moses (3400 years ago), and in the days of Jesus (1400 years later)

Genesis 15:13-16 the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions….And they shall come back here in the fourth generation…”

• Abraham’s family 400+ yrs dozens to millions in Egypt under Joseph/famine

Joel 3:19 “Egypt shall become a desolation and Edom a desolate wilderness, for the violence [ḥā·mās] done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

#1. Egypt
-Egypt (Hagar was Egyptian) = hamas – enslave God’s ppl, kill boys stop Hebrew savior 

#2. Edom 

-Arabs come from Ishmael (Abraham’s 2 sons Isaac & Ishmael = feud) 

-Edomites descendants of (Isaac’s 2 sons Jacob & Esau = feud)  

Egyptians & Edomites guilty of “hamas” 

1. Exodus/Moses = A). destroy Hebrew people & B). kill young savior (Moses)
2. 1400 yrs later Herod killed Jewish boys 2 under = STOP Hebrew Savior (Matt 2)

-Jesus descends from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. 

-King Herod descends from Jacob’s bro Esau [Edomite thru father Antipater]

??Herod & Hamas??

Ancient Wars between the Holy Spirit and the hamas spirit

-Isaac (father of the Jews) vs Ishmael (father of the Arabs) 3800 BC (Genesis 16-21)

-Judges (Jews) vs Surrounding nations (300 years of wars 3000 BC)

Arab nations descend from Ishmael, Abraham’s son through Hagar 

      Other nations descend from Midian, Abraham’s son through Keturah 

• “Midianites” 9x; from “Midian” 22X

-Gideon (Jews) vs Ishmaelites (Arabs) 3000 BC (Judges 6-8)

            Judges 8:24 “they were Ishmaelites [from Abraham and Hagar]”

-Abimelech vs brothers Judges 9:22-24 “Abimelech [Gideon’s son] ruled over Israel three years. And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem, and the leaders of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech, that the violence [hamas] done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal [Gideon] might come, and their blood be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.” 

• Israel was not supposed to have a King until David
• Gideon had 70 sons w/multiple women 
• Abimelech “my father is king” killed 69 bros, 1 hid, established self as ruler 3 yrs “ 

“evil spirit???? Hamas???

The failure of a 2-state solution

Deuteronomy 7:1–5, 16, 25-26 [3000 years ago between Egypt and Promised Land] “When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you…and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them. You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars and dash in pieces their pillars and chop down their Asherim and burn their carved images with fire…And you shall consume all the peoples that the Lord your God will give over to you. Your eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you….The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.

1 State – 100% ABRAHAMIC COVENANT:Promised Land Israel ruled by Jewish people 

2 State – % ruled Jewish % ruled Arab = goal of peace 

=Sarah & Isaac cast out Hagar & Ishmael – Abraham’s house 2 state solution

If God’s command Deut. 7 obeyed = 1. No 300 yrs Judges wars 2. no war Israel rnow  

1.    If you tolerate evil, evil will dominate you. 

2.    Evil must be stopped because evil never stops itself. 

3.    Because demons do not die, they plan generationally. 

4.    People who say they aren’t hurting anyone are hurting everyone (Hagar hamas home) 

5.    Sex, Gender, Marriage compromise in the church leads to collapse in the culture 

Judges 21:25: The world dark/rotting. The church is supposed to be light/salt

Jesus rebukes a 2-state solution

Judges 2:1-4 [over 3000 years ago] the angel of the Lord [Jesus Christ]…said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you, and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? So now I say, I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” As soon as the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.

·         Jesus =1 state solution. His Jewish people in Israel w/o other nations. (Abr. Cov.)

·         People =2 state solution. Jews & surrounding nations (incl. Arab Palestinians today)

·         12 Judges 300 yrs wars (Deborah, Gideon, Samson) 

·         3000 years later the same thing happening

Today – Israel wants 1 state. US & nations pressuring 2 state solution

White House Needs a Spirit-filled Bible scholar 

Modern Wars between the Holy Spirit and the hamas spirit

-138 AD onward Israel did not exist as a nation and Jews were scattered

-1933-1945 Hitler’s holocaust sought to eliminate the Jews and they scattered

-May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation for the first time in over 1800 years under Truman

-1993 the Israel-Palestinian 2 state solution begins 

-2005 President Bush pressures Israel into to a “land for peace” deal in Gaza with Palestinians (2 state solution failed & resulted in war 18 yrs later) 

-May 14, 2018 (70 years to the day) President Trump recognizes Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel (800+ X Bible) 

-14 of 15 UN Sec Council Nations voted no. 

-1^st major world leader 2500 yrs Cyrus Persian King to publicly recognize Jerusalem 

-Today’ war Israel (Jews from Abraham and Sarah) vs Hamas Palestinians (Arabs from Hagar and Sarah) 

-Future Armageddon Israel Jews vs Arab nations in the final war

=Triggers 2^nd Coming of Jesus Christ as Lion 

Israel – size/pop NJ

Gideon & Today 

1. Open border B. Invaded by nations C. Terrorists rose up D. Cultural collapse  

=This is a 4000+ yr war – won’t end until 2^nd Coming 

Gideon War – “prophetic event” =WAR from Abraham (Gen) to Armageddom (Rev)

The Hamas Charter “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it…The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine…The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews)… Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes…The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is…consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day…Nationalism, from the point of view of the Islamic Resistance Movement, is part of the religious creed. Nothing in nationalism is more significant or deeper than in the case when an enemy should tread Moslem land. Resisting and quelling the enemy become the individual duty of every Moslem, male or female… There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad….”

• Hamas most important ideological document (Const) – Religious & Political 
• All of Palestine/Israel is Muslim land, storen by Jews & US = holy war

= Abrahamic Covenant 1. Land 2. Lineage 3. Lord (4000 BC Isaac or Ishmael) 

Eschatology of Islam – GEN. 6 NOAH HAMAS SPIRIT FILLS WORLD VIOLENCE 

1.    Islam overtake & rule world jihad/holy war

2.    Islamic leader rise & rule world (False Christ, Anti-Christ, Man of Lawlsns, son perdition)

3.    Triggers 2^nd Coming Jesus as GREATER GIDEON – Judge/Warrior 

Close – we have just gone from Genesis to Revelation w/a pit stop in Judges 

1. God has always controlled history & rules over sinful people & demons
2. Jesus is coming & bringing Heaven with Him starting in Jerusalem in Israel 
3. We don’t worry about the future, we worship the Lord over the future 
4. Team Jesus wins! 
5. Jesus has not yet returned because there are more people to be saved
6. We believe in revival before Jesus returns (IN God’s people. THRU God’s ppl) 

YOU? Any area of your life a 2 state solution (HS & Hamas? 

Eventually border/boundary overtaken, evil invades your life bringing terror & chaos

“cry out to the Lord”
