Hamas leaders say the victories by Islamist political parties in the Middle East foreshadow a promising future for the Palestinian people

Listen to Today's Program Play

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, on a recent trip to Turkey, told journalists that the recent victories by the Islamist political parties in democratic elections in countries such as Egypt and Tunisia, foreshadow a promising future for the Palestinian people and their struggle with the Jewish state of Israel.

Haniyeh is the leader of Hamas, the Islamic terror organization in the Gaza Strip and he leads the armed struggle to overthrow the Jewish state of Israel and to take its land for the state of Palestine. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The declaration by the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip of a promising future for the Palestinians, a result of the Arab Spring, is actually setting the stage for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Ismail Haniyeh, the Prime Minister of Hamas, in the Gaza Strip, told journalists on a recent trip to Turkey, that the Arab Spring revolution has set in place a promising future for the Palestinians in their armed struggle to take the land from the Jewish occupiers, a land that Haniyeh says will one day be the state of Palestine.  Hamas has not been involved in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and will not recognize Israel's right to be a state in the Middle East.  Haniyeh has called for the Arab and Moslem world to rise up and join the fight with the Palestinians to take the land from the Jews.  Haniyeh believes that the removal of moderate Arab leaders, a result of the Arab Spring, will work to the advantage of the Palestinians in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This report reflects a scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy which foretells of the struggle between the Palestinians and the Israelis.  Biblical history reveals that these two peoples, the Palestinians and the Jews, came from the descendants of twin brothers Esau and Jacob (Genesis 25:18-23).  Jacob's descendants became the Jewish people and Esau's descendants the Palestinian people of today.  The prophet Ezekiel reveals that the people of Mt. Seir, that would be the Edomites (Genesis 36:8) the Palestinians of today, these people will kill the Jews and take their land (Ezekiel 35:5,10.)

Prime Minister Haniyeh's declaration of a promising future for the Palestinian people is incorrect.  Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
