The superficial history of Hamas is noted as a militant group of Palestine, birthed in 1987. However, there is far more history revealed in the Holy Scriptures. Hamas is the spearhead.
This trouble also goes back to the time of Joshua. See Joshua 13:1 - 6. God promised to "...drive them out from before the people of Israel."
In Joshua 23:11 - 13 God proclaims that if they don't drive out these nations, calamity would happen:
Joshua 23:12–13
[12] For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you and make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you, [13] know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the LORD your God has given you.
The disobedience of Israel and consequences are declared in Judges chapter 1, and in 2:1 - 5.
Thank you so much for this write up. In sharing just this substack with others whom I feel are seeking answers to what is happening in Israel at the moment, it’s overwhelmingly apparent how many hearts are hardened against the truth.
As you say, “If you are an unbeliever, it is impossible for you to discern these events without being possessed by the Holy Spirit. You might find them interesting, but nonetheless, you will end up in this is just more of the same. This is the exact ideology the upcoming Antichrist needs to establish his fake world peace”;
This has never been more clear to me than in the last several days. Around every corner, it seems that all I see is people screaming for this fake world peace without the understanding or discernment of what is truly unfolding before our eyes.
I thank God for placing you in my life. Because of Him, you helped lead me to seek and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. Only as of late, am I realizing just how blessed I am to be shielded by the Holy Spirit, against all the chaos and evil that is surrounding us.
Bill, you just made my day. Comments like yours is my "paycheck." Seriously, It makes all the research and writing worthy of its cause. Send me a private email drphinney@iomamerica.org and I will send you a free copy of my book "This Preeminent Darkness, 30 Cultural Movements Rising Against Christianity." You will love it. Make sure you mention "Bill from Substack."
Toney, it appears that comments are disable on your linked post.
After reading, I found it to be a very true and well articulated piece on the choices we face of: good vs. evil, and the importance of making the right choice. However, I feel that the most critical choice that we must first make, is missing from your assessment.
We must first choose to accept Jesus Christ as our one and only Lord and Savior. Only then will we be indwelt with the Holy Spirit. Without his indwelling, we are incapable of making a legitimate choice to be on the side of good, and are incapable of truly serving Him.
Many will and do believe they are serving the Lord and are on the side of “good” by simply choosing or doing what they think they know or feel is right or what they believe is right or good. But all of those choices are secondary until the absolute, most important choice is made. We cannot truly choose to be on the good side until we first choose to accept Jesus Christ.
I wonder if we get broken up according to denominations in Heaven? What a ridiculous thought! Why do it here? We underestimate our enemy all the time. We are forever looking for the head-spinning girl, but what about the enemy in your own family? Hard eh!
I'm not sure about the connection you are making to denominations and Hamas. The Hamas group is led by the same warmonger that attacks Christ, culture, and families. The article explained the history behind the descendants of Ishmael and Isaac - and how this led to the present war against Israel. God's people, our people, are our family. When they are attacked, we are attacked. Supporting our motherland is supporting our family.
Remember, hearts are great, but comments open the door to a dialogue. This is a topic worthy of discussion - join in now.
Thank you for piercing through the "fog of war" with light and clarity!
You are welcome. Holy Spirit inspiration is a force I cannot resist. If I neglect it, a spiritual sickness plagues my soul.

Awesome feedback, Keith. Thanks, bro.

Just a random moment of lament.
Amen, Geoff.
