Per lexicons and dictionaries in the Hebrew, “hamas” means violence. The word is translated as violence, wrong, or malicious in the Bible.

The context of Ezekiel 7 is judgment on the land of Israel. Judgment is being rendered against violence or “hamas“.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Dear Hamas…

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

The Bible talks of a time of false peace, the calm before the storm, before all hell breaks loose with the onset of the seven year tribulation. Is this what we are watching in today’s news and current events?

Today in Kuala Lumpur, President Donald J. Trump brokered the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords between Thailand and Cambodia, secured reciprocal trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia, issued Joint Trade Statements with Thailand and Vietnam, elevated relations with Malaysia, and deepened U.S.-Cambodia cooperation on defense and transnational crime. President Trump also participated in the 13th annual U.S.-ASEAN Summit meeting.

Details of the agreement are at the link below.

2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Matthew 24:9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

Conservative Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a debate event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. The founder of Turning Point USA, known for his conservative Judeo-Christian views on politics and culture, died from injuries after being struck in the neck by a shooter from an estimated 200 yards away. The incident has ignited widespread outrage, with President Donald Trump and lawmakers from both parties condemning the violence and calling for investigations into campus security and political tensions. -Grok edited

Please consider prayer for Charlie and his family.

Everyone wants the Hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end! The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Israel grows increasingly more isolated in the world. And we wonder how we get to a place where no one will stand up for Israel when Ezekiel 38-39 come calling.

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’

The Bible has answers. ALL things were created by and for Him (Jesus). And because of His work on the cross and His resurrection, ALL things in the universe are under His subjection.

Colossians 1:16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Colossians 1:20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

Matthew 22:37-40 And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5785/2025

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , on July 31, 2025 by paulthepoke

2 Peter 3:12 as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.

Tisha b’Av:  to the Jew, this is a date, the 9th of the Hebrew month Av. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. The month is not named in the Bible. Av usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar.

This year, the 9th of Av begins at sunset on Saturday, August 2, 2025 on our western Gregorian calendar.

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning in Israel. Tragedy came about because of the account of Numbers 13-14. This event occurred immediately after God had delivered Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The short story is the Lord told Moses to send a group of spies to go scout the Promised Land. The spies came back and proclaimed the Jews could not take the land because of the inhabitants of the land were too big and too strong. The people rebelled against Moses. The people stated they would rather go back to Egypt. The nation (except Caleb and Joshua) did not believe God to give them the Promised Land. We know it occurred during the grape harvest per the text (Numbers 13:20). This event is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av. God pronounced judgment on the nation at that time. And this date is said to be a reminder of nation Israel’s lack of faith in God.

Numbers 13:20 …and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

~

We are approaching the 20th anniversary of Israel handing over the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians. Remember the promise of appeasement, “Land for peace.” This occurred on the 9th of Av in 5765/2005 (Gregorian year).

Ezekiel 38… The Bible says there will come a time when Israel will stand alone an no nation will come to their defense.

As of July 2025, 148 of the 193 United Nations member states recognize the State of Palestine, representing about 75% of UN members. The Holy See (Vatican City), a UN observer state, also recognizes Palestine. -Grok AI

What do the kings of the south know?

Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.
  3. 135 AD, Betar fell. It was the last fortress to hold out against the Romans during the Bar Kochba revolt.
  4. 136 AD, one year after the fall of Betar, the Temple area was plowed.
  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.
  6. 1492 AD, King Ferdinand of Spain issued the expulsion decree, setting Tisha B’Av as the final date by which not a single Jew would be allowed to walk on Spanish soil.
  7. 1914 AD, World War I began the downward slide to the Holocaust.
  8. 2005 AD, Israel turns over the Gaza Strip.

This Week in Prophecy: Trump Warns Hamas; Syria Civil War… Again

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Burden of Damascus, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , on March 7, 2025 by paulthepoke

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence (Hebrew word is Hamas) has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Isaiah 17:1 This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.

Violence has broken out across Syria again. Israel, with a request from the local Druze, is inching closer to Damascus.

A new country is emerging in the Middle East. The Druze, with the support of Israel, now fully control the southern Syrian region of Sweida. Sweida has almost half a million people. Over 85% are Druze and nearly 10% are Christian. It’s BY FAR the safest area for Christians in Syria. Sweida would become the first overwhelmingly non-Muslim state in the Middle East since Israel!

Sukkot/Tabernacles 5785/5949/2024: Hamas; Hezbollah; Turkey’s Alliance; China; Pro Life & Catholics

Leviticus 23:33-36 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD. On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work of any kind. For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the LORD; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work.’”

Sukkot is coming to an end this week at sunset on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. This holiday is known by many names. It is called the Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot, the Feast of Booths, the Festival of Tents, or the Feast of the Harvest because it is after the harvest in the fall. Simply put, it is also called “the feast” or “the festival”.

It has been a busy week around the globe during the Feast of Tabernacles. Here’s what is happening.

“Hamas” is the Hebrew word for “violence”.

The context of Ezekiel 7 is judgment on the land of Israel. Judgment is being rendered against violence or “hamas“.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar has been martyred. Elements of Hamas are beginning to surrender in Gaza.

God is pro life. He created life. God is opposed to abortion and He states there is a consequence of punishment.

Satanic Temple has opened an abortion clinic in Virginia.

The stated purpose of this death ritual is to “cast off notions of guilt, shame and mental discomfort” associated with the extermination of innocent life and to altogether affirm the choice.

“TST’s abortion ritual can be performed to address definable concerns or to overcome unproductive feelings. The ritual, which includes the abortion itself, spans the entirety of the pregnancy termination procedure. There are steps to be performed before, during, and after the medical or surgical abortion.”

Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets; Middle East on Fire; 5785/5949/2024

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Fall Feasts, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 1, 2024 by paulthepoke

Leviticus 23:23-25 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord.’”

Numbers 29:1 ‘Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets.

This holiday has many names. It is called the Feast of Trumpets by Christians. It is recognized as the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. In Judaism, it is called Yom Teruah which means the “Day of Blowing”.

The directions for the holiday are straight forward.

  1. It is to be a day of rest or a Sabbath.
  2. The day is a holy or separate day. It is a convocation. The Hebrew word for convocation is miqra’. Per Strong’s Concordance it means: rehearsal, convocation, a reading, a calling together, or sacred assembly.
  3. It is a memorial and reminder to blow or shout. The Hebrew word is teruah. It means: alarm, signal, a sound of tempest, shout of joy, blast of war, alarm, joy, war-cry, or battle-cry.

In the Hebrew civil New Year of 5785 or the Essene year of 5949, Israel is at war on three fronts. Is war about to break out on a fourth front?

All of the military activity Israel is engaged with are supported by Iran. Below are Iranian proxies.

Daniel 10:13-14 However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”

September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough. I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible. This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent. President Trump would often say, “Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation.” The Islamic Republic’s regime is much tougher when risking Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian and Houthi lives than when risking their own. Their foolish efforts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign reek of desperation and are hardening a large coalition against them. Iranian leadership is stuck in the old Middle East, while their neighbors in the GCC are sprinting toward the future by investing in their populations and infrastructure. They are becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment while Iran falls further behind. As the Iranian proxies and threats dissipate, regional security and prosperity will rise for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike. Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end. Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the North is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned. Most of Hezbollah fighters are hiding in their tunnels. Anyone still around was not important enough to carry a pager or be invited to a leadership meeting. Iran is reeling, as well, insecure and unsure how deeply its own intelligence has been penetrated. Failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible. I have been hearing some amazing stories about how Israel has been collecting intelligence over the past 10 months with some brilliant technology and crowdsourcing initiatives. But today, with the confirmed killing of Nasrallah and at least 16 top commanders eliminated in just nine days, was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive outcomes are possible. This is a moment to stand behind the peace-seeking nation of Israel and the large portion of the Lebanese who have been plagued by Hezbollah and who want to return to the times when their country was thriving, and Beirut a cosmopolitan city. The main issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran; otherwise there is a lot of benefit for the people of both countries from working together. The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight. More than 40 years ago, Hezbollah killed 241 US military personnel, including 220 Marines. That remains the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima. Later that same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers. And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years. Including Ibrahim Aqil, the leader of Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization who masterminded the 1983 killing of those Marines. -Jared Kushner

This Week in Prophecy: Olympic Spirit; Israel Engages Yemen; Russia/China/Iran Draw Closer; 3 Gorges Dam; Volcanos & Quakes

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

The Olympic spirit is alive and well from the city of lights and love, gay Paris.

Hope you had your fun with rebellion, taunting, and scoffing. I guarantee Somebody is watching and will respond accordingly and at a time of His choosing.

Exodus 32 The golden calf

Let’s mix in some more apostasy.

Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

Let’s be clear. With the population of planet earth currently at 8 billion people, we are talking about the death of 2,000,000,000 (billion) people.

Context… And this is only the beginning of what is to come in the seven year tribulation. Currently, we are not in the tribulation.

As perverted as the Olympic intention may be, God’s prophetic Word is being communicated on a global scale.

Israel is now actively fighting on three different fronts: the Gaza Strip against Hamas, southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, and now in Yemen against the Houthis. All three of these entities are Iranian funded proxies.

Based on Russian response, are they looking for a reason to attack Israel? Ezekiel 38 says it is going to happen. The question is when?

The Houthis took responsibility for a drone attack in Tel Aviv near the US Embassy. And then Israel responded.

This Week in Prophecy: Fighting in Rafah Continues, China, Food Security, Pride Month

Posted in #PaulthePoke, China, Culture, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 3, 2024 by paulthepoke

Exodus 2:11-12 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

President Biden has a proposal for the conflict in Gaza.

Kings of the East…

Isaiah 49:12 Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim!

Genesis 10:16-18 the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. Eventually the families of the Canaanites were scattered.

The following is from the Genesis Record, Henry Morris.

The Biblical mention of a people in the Far East named “Sinim” (Isaiah 49:12), together with references in ancient secular histories to people in the Far East called “Sinae,” at least suggests the possibility that some of Sin’s descendants migrated eastward, while others went south into the land of Canaan. It is significant that the Chinese people have always been identified by the prefix “Sino-” (e.g., Sino-Japanese War; Sinology, the study of Chinese history). The name “Sin” is frequently encountered in Chinese names in the form “Siang” or its equivalent.

The evidence is tenuous but, of all the names in the Table of Nations, it does seem that two sons of Canaan, Heth (Hittites = Khittae = Cathay) and Sin (Sinites = Sinim = China), are the most likely to have become ancestors of the Oriental peoples. Since it seems reasonable that divine inspiration would include in such a table information concerning the ancestry of all the major streams of human development, it is reasonable to conclude that the Mongoloid peoples (and therefore also the American Indians) have come mostly from the Hamitic line.

Pride Month, 2024

Humanity is dedicating a month to the celebration of Pride. And the point of this section is not to shake a finger at anybody. We all sin and we are all guilty. One sin is not more sinful than another. Set aside sexual behavior. We are all still guilty before God. You break one of God’s laws, you break them all.

As I have stated in the past on this blog, these are God’s words. It is acknowledged, His words are offensive to segments of society. Eventually, His words are offensive to all of us if we are honest with ourselves. Please take your complaints and comments directly to Him. He will listen. He is a big boy. He can handle it.

Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

Above is what God says. Below are the positions of the current powers that be…

The monthlong global celebration began with Gay Pride Week in late June 1970, a public celebration that marked the first anniversary of the violent police raid at New York’s Stonewall Inn, a gay bar.

https://apnews.com/article/pride-month-lgbtq-2024-1abf80d0cf1026b60b47f565e9953fec

Now according to Wikipedia…

The concept of Pride Month began with the Stonewall riots, a series of riots for gay liberation that took place over several days beginning on June 28, 1969. The riots began after a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located within Lower Manhattan in New York City.[2] Activists Marsha P. JohnsonSylvia Rivera, and Stormé DeLarverie are credited for inciting the riots, though Johnson disputes her involvement.[3][1]

Biblical Persia or modern day Iran…

Ebrahim Raisi, the Butcher of Tehran, has been martyred. Raisi earned the moniker as being a judge for a “death commission” in Tehran.

Iran army finds no sign of foul play so far in Raisi helicopter crash

Preliminary report says no evidence of criminal activity but investigators signal the probe is not yet over.

Joel 3:2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.

It would appear we are watching a serious trend towards prophetic fulfillment. The world is turning against Israel. Norway has officially recognized Palestine as a state. Spain will make their official proclamation on Tuesday, May 28th, 2024.

This Week in Prophecy: Red Heifers Named; Israeli Army; Turkish Elections; Persia/Iran in Damascus; Taiwan Quake

Numbers 19:1-2 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

March 27, 2024: A red heifer conference was held in ancient Shiloh. The red heifers have been named. The red heifers have also been aged at two years old per the article. The names are as follows: Tikva (hope), Geula (redemption), Techiya (life-giving), Nechama (comfort), and Segula (virtue).

In response, Hezbollah joined Hamas by threatening the red heifers.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence (Hebrew word is Hamas) has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

I’ve never known an army to take such measures to attend to the enemy’s civilian population, especially while simultaneously combating the enemy in the very same buildings. In fact, by my analysis, Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history.

Precautions include the following:

  1. 7 million flyers dropped.
  2. 70,000+ direct phone calls.
  3. 13 million + texts.
  4. 15 million + pre recorded messages.
  5. Notification of areas to leave and where to go.
  6. Drones with speakers.
  7. Notified daily pauses of operations.

Tubal, Meshech, Gomer, Beth-Togarmah or modern day Turkey…

Turkish President Recep Erdogan’s party was smoked in recent elections. The AK Party was beaten consistently across the country by the secular CHP. It would appear the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey is in trouble.

Ancient Persia or modern day Iran…

Israel strikes Damascus, Syria in broad day light.

Two days later, President Biden denies the declaration and says he did not do this.
