Hamas takes the long view http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/hamas-takes-the-long-view/ With the Hamas-Israel ceasefire set to expire on Friday, two items in the Middle East press focus on Hamas’ long view of its conflict with Israel. en-us uheilman@jta.org Copyright 2008 2008-12-17T;21:24:00-05:00 Comment by Marie Devine marie-devine@divine-way.com Hamas takes the long view.  The article is right, it is a religious movement.  The Islamic radicalists around the world have the same motives. (1) Islam will take over the world; (2) Western and evil culture will be overcome.  Their strength is given them through the word of God in the Qur’an. There is a way to combat this so all sides win.  (!) Islam means submission to the will and word of God.  Jews want that too.  (Islam religion is not submitted to what is written to their prophet, it is a simple matter to show the truth.) (2) People of God of all faiths want to overcome evil influences through the west or elsewhere.  The word of God shows what God considers evil.  The goals of all are ultimately the same. (3) Read the Hamas Charter; it is to destroy the evil in Israel.  They just need to be reminded of that.  This is how God fights for you.  The primary message of the Qur’an is to follow the whole Bible.  Jesus (Isa) said to live by every word of God.  That is agreement.  Christians must see Jesus came to restore the law of God, that became lost through the rabbis and teachers, not do away with it.  It is the same now.  Cultures have put away the word of God as a strange thing; yet only the word of God will give them true security, freedom and prosperity. Jews expect the Law of Moses to take over the world. Muslims expect that the message of Muhammad will spread over the world. Christians expect that the world will acknowledge the Supreme God who is One, who sent Jesus Christ to be the acceptable blood sacrifice to cleanse them from sins when they repent and follow God’s ways. The message is the same.  The goal is the same and the outcome is as it is expected in each religion.  Muhammad and Jesus both said the Law of Moses is to be followed.  All faiths agree we must submit to the will and word of God.  Muhammad confirmed Jesus as the Messiah, Moses prophesied to follow the one God would send with His message.  To be a Christian, people must follow Torah and prophets as Jesus taught.  There is no difference.  The fight is not ours, it is God’s.  The word of God will win this if we lift it up.  Military might, United Nations or USA fighting on our behalf or with promises of protection only get in the way.  God is our protector and our peace.  Jehovah is our salvation.  Jehovah is our righteousness.  He is His word and His faithfulness to it.  He is a God to be feared. (Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 are our witness to the past present and the future.)
