A spokesman for Hamas, the Palestinian terror group, said that the Jihadist movement is loyal to Palestinian principles in its policy of terrorism against the Jews until Israel ceases to exist and said that any offer by the PA President Mahmoud Abbas to establish a Palestinian state, even with temporary borders, is rejected by Hamas.
Osama Hamdan, the Hamas spokesman, said the Hamas plan is based on obtaining a Palestinian state by force of arms, not by way of a grievance, a path which has failed and that Hamas will fight to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel altogether.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by Hamas, the Palestinian terror group, that they plan to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel, is a page out of Bible prophecy.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the focus of world leaders over the last several decades as they have worked to bring about a resolution to this conflict. However, the truth be known, as revealed in the recent Hamas declaration, the elimination of the Jewish state of Israel is a Palestinian principle. Both Bible history and prophecy confirm this Palestinian principle. In the book of Genesis, we have the record of the birth of Jacob and Esau, Genesis 25:23-26.
In Genesis 27, the account of Jacob stealing the birthright and blessing from Esau reveals that Esau then made a pledge to kill Jacob. History down through 4000 years has revealed to us the conflict continues even until today with Jacob, the Jewish people of today, and Esau, the Palestinian people of today, still in that conflict of 4000 years. Bible prophecy foretold of this conflict during the end times. Ezekiel, the ancient Jewish prophet, wrote that the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, the Palestinian people today, would want to kill the Jews, the descendants of Jacob, and then take the land that God had given to them, Ezekiel 35.
The Hamas plan to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Speaking at the Organization of Islamic Conference in Istanbul, Turkey, the Syrian President Bashar Assad told the attendees that Syria will take the Golan Heights from Israel by force and he said that this is a national duty for his country - its a legitimate and moral obligation to do so. Assad also slammed Israel for the situation at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem saying that for forty years since the Israelis tried to set fire to the Al Aqsa Mosque, there have been reoccurring attempts to destroy the mosque and to Judaize Jerusalem by expelling Palestinians from their homes.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The threat by Syrian President Bashar Assad that his country will take the Golan Heights from Israel by military force is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.
During the Six Day War in 1967 when Israel was under attack on three sides; Egypt in the south, Jordan in the east, and Syria from the north, the Israeli military forced Syria out of the Golan Heights and set up a buffer zone between Israel and Syria in this high plateau. This was part of a strategy that helped bring somewhat of a peace in the region if not on paper at least in the conflict on the ground.
In 1973, Syria once again tried to occupy the Golan Heights but Israel stopped that military action and it remained status quo. Since that time, Syria has made numerous threats of war on the Golan but now the latest threat is the most serious especially in light of the fact that Syria now has military personnel on Mount Hermon at the head of the Golan Heights ready for action.
It is interesting to note that God gave the Golan Heights to the half tribe of Manassah 3500 years ago when the Children of Israel entered the Promised Land (Joshua 20:8, 21:27). Bible prophecy says that Syria, King of the North in Daniel 11:40-42, will make the first move by the alignment of nations to try to destroy the Jewish state of Israel during the Tribulation period.
This threat by Syrian President Bashar Assad is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.
