God’s Promise to Eliminate Hamas

Many people, both Jews and non-Jews, may not be aware that the word “hamas” is a Hebrew word that seems to appear thousands of times in classical Jewish sources such as the Bible, Talmud, Midrash etc.!

The Hebrew word חָמַס ( hamas ) is one of the most negative words in Torah literature, it means to do violence or wrong.  (Klein dictionary).

In Torah literature, “hamas” always seems to be connected with barbaric evil, violence, and robbery.

However, God also promised that Hamas would be removed from the Land of Israel in the future. So we must never despair despite the brutal terrorism of Hamas and its supporters.

“God said to Noah, I have decided to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with HAMAS and because of them I am about to destroy them with the earth.” (Genesis 6:13)

” Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; save me from HAMAS, whose minds are full of evil schemes, who plot war every day.” (Psalm 140:2-3)

“God seeks out the righteous person, but the wicked one and the lover of HAMAS He loathes.” (Psalm 11:5)

However the prophet Isaiah promises us that HAMAS will be removed from the Land of Israel, may it come to pass soon.

” HAMAS shall no more be heard in your land,
Nor robbery and destruction, within your borders.
And you shall name your walls Victory.
And your gates Renown.”

(Isaiah 60:18)

Saving Western Civilization

Democracy alone cannot solve man’s spiritual or ethical problems. Democracy can be useful but only when it is implemented and restrained in a society with Biblical religious values. Democracy fails when not restrained by any Biblical values.

The Talmud mentions how the ancient Jewish sage known as Rabbi taught Biblical principles to a decent Roman emperor known as Antoninus. This represented a valid complementary service to the world, IE the physical power of the Romans was united with the spiritual power of the Jews.

We must maintain the First Amendment and allow citizens to worship or not worship a Creator as they please. However, bloodthirsty barbarians who do not accept the basic ethical rules of Western civilization (derived from the Bible), IE Thou shalt not murder, and who promote an ideology advocating mass murder of alleged infidels, must be imprisoned or ejected from America, Israel, and all civilized countries.

Secular “democracy” cannot replace religious beliefs that satisfy man’s spiritual and philosophical aspirations.
Western progressivism and secularism have abandoned any value systems and they cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
Totalitarian “progressivism” has often become a substitute religion for ethical monotheism.

The only hope for the West to overcome all anarchy, turmoil, totalitarianism and jihadist Islam is to return to an ethical monotheism based on Biblical values.

The true conflict in the world now concerns which philosophical/spiritual system will govern mankind — the Bible’s vision of the world, or various totalitarian ideologies such as radical Islam, “progressivism”, or Marxism/Socialism.

For Western Civilization to survive, there is a need to embrace the common Biblical, ethical, social, and family principles among Jews, Catholics, Protestants, even if their theologies differ.

What is True Freedom

The cruel, depraved behaviors of the ancient false gods encouraged and legitimized such behavior among humans who worshiped such false gods. The Bible’s denial of the ancient false gods who engaged in the most depraved aspects of human behavior, and the replacement of those false gods with one incorporeal, ethical God for all of mankind, was a great step forward for mankind.

The Jewish Bible’s “radical” and “innovative” concepts of ethical monotheism caused a great advancement in human civilization. An advancement from the cruel and primitive pagan barbarism that prevailed in the ancient world to societies that recognized the uniqueness and dignity of Man as a being created in the Image of his Creator. The ideas taught in the Jewish Bible promoted a universal morality, a morality that recognized objective standards of good and evil within the world. Man became aware of the possibility of an ultimate purpose and meaning to human existence, as opposed to humans simply seeking gratification of their physical senses in this world. Man also became aware of the possibility of non-physical human existence after death, and the possibility of the judgment of Man for his actions in this world, when he reaches the next world.

The concept of Man being created in the image of God can also be understood as man’s ability to contemplate God’s actions in the Universe and then imitate and serve Him.

The concept of “freedom” must not be perverted into a Westernized libertarian concept of “libertarianism”, where man has no ethical restrictions imposed on his behavior. True freedom must be embraced as freedom from oppression and freedom to find one’s meaning in life through one’s philosophic or religious convictions.

True freedom in the Biblical sense must be understood as man’s freedom to serve God without oppression or interference from government or political forces, from criminal or terrorist forces, or from totalitarian religious or philosophical forces.

Noachide Laws-Foundation of Morality for Man

According to normative Jewish tradition, the Biblical prophet Noah, a non-Jew, was commanded by God to observe seven basic commandments.

These commandments are considered by Jewish tradition as being obligatory on all mankind until this day.

The following list comprises the Seven Noachide Laws that constitute universal laws that all mankind are obligated to observe:

1. the prohibition against worship of false gods;
2. the prohibition against cursing God;
3. the prohibition against murder;
4. the prohibition against incest and adultery;
5. the prohibition against theft;
6. the prohibition against eating flesh torn from a living animal.
7. the command to establish laws and courts of justice.

The Seven Noachide Laws are a set of universal ethical guidelines given to the Biblical prophet Noah and his descendants.
The Noachide Laws can resolve the present massive turmoil and societal anarchy within the world if they would be adhered to by all mankind.

Man Created in the Image of God

וַיִּבְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֶת־הָֽאָדָם֙ בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ בְּצֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑וֹ זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽם׃

“And God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
(Genesis 1:27)

A primary understanding of the Biblical concept that Man is created in the “image of God”, as explained by the great rabbinic philosopher Maimonides, is that man possesses an ability of intellectual apprehension that no other physical creature possesses. Intellectual apprehension does not exist in animals, only in Man.

According to the Jewish Bible, the prophet Noah had three sons who with their wives reconstituted humanity after the Biblical Flood. The nature of civilization is hinted to in the Biblical descriptions of the three sons of Noach. The ability of intellectual apprehension has been especially manifested in the descendants of Shem and Yefet, two of the sons of Noah.

The Biblical Shem became the ancestor of the Semites and the Jews. The Jews gave the world the Bible and thus disseminated the concepts of ethical monotheism to the world that replaced the pagan barbarism that reigned in earlier ages. The Biblical phrase “Yaft Elokim Yefet” in Genesis hints at the concept that God will expand Yefet’s mind. The Biblical Yefet became the ancestor of the Europeans, including the Greeks, who greatly advanced science and philosophy.

The Red-Green Axis today is a worldwide alliance of powerful totalitarian ideologies, including Marxists, radical Islamists, and “progressive” Leftists including much of the current Democrat Party today. This unholy alliance is not only attempting to dismantle Western Civilization, but they are also attempting to suppress and destroy Biblical concepts such as Man being created in the image of God. Their goals are to devolve man to just another sophisticated animal and replace Western Civilization with barbarism.

Civilized people and nations must not allow the Red-Green Axis to succeed in their goal of dismantling Western Civilization and replacing it with barbarism.

Biblical Unity of All Mankind

Chapter 10 of the Biblical book of Genesis contains genealogical lists of the descendants of the Biblical prophet Noah. The book of Genesis lists seventy nations that descended from Noah’s sons after the Biblical flood, ie Shem, Yefet, and Ham. These seventy nations represent many geographic, ethnic, linguistic, and racial groups. According to Jewish tradition, all of present mankind is descended from Noah and his family, even if not all of the original seventy nations listed in the Bible are still identifiable today.

There is profound significance to the enumeration of all the nations of mankind in the Bible. The listing of seventy nations includes Eber, who was ancestor of the ancient Hebrews, but the Biblical list does not even mention the Jews who descended from Eber. The Bible is emphasizing that the God of the Bible is the God of all the nations and He has a relationship with all the nations of the world. The God of the Jewish Bible is not just the God of the Jews, and He is concerned with the well-being and destiny of all of mankind.

In Chapter 11 of the Book of Genesis, it explains how God scattered mankind all over the face of the Earth in response to men committing a sin by building the Tower of Babel. There is a clear lesson from this. The Jewish Bible does not teach that all nations should dissolve their identities, or become Jews, or convert to Judaism. Each nation should maintain its distinctive language, national identities, and culture.

The Jewish Bible does seek a united world and is not obligating non-Jews to convert to Judaism. However, that world unity must be based on recognition of one God as the Creator of the world, and a universal acceptance of His Biblical commandments that define a moral code for all mankind.
