Daniel 10:13-14 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”

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.”

Matthew 5:21-22 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire…” -Jesus
1 John 3:15-16 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
And it is His love for us, His work on the cross for sin (in this case murder), that keeps us from an eternal hell.
1 John 3:20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
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.
Hamas says they have agreed to a cease fire brokered by Egypt and Qatar. Israel says the terms of the plan were not reached. Israel is moving ahead with their military plans in Rafah.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has changed his mind on a two state solution with Israel and a potential Palestinian state.
“There was a time when I thought two states could work. Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough. I think it’s going to be much tougher to get. I also think you have fewer people that liked the idea. You had a lot of people that liked the idea four years ago. Today, you have far fewer people that like that idea. Children grow up and they’re taught to hate Jewish people at a level that nobody thought was possible. And I had a friend, a very good friend, Sheldon Adelson, who felt that it was impossible to make a deal because the level of hatred was so great. And I think it was much more so on one side than the other, but the level of hatred of Jewish people was so great and taught from the time they were in kindergarten and before.” -Donald Trump

1 Samuel 17:4 And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
For those who are not familiar, Goliath is an ancient Philistine. He was roughly 9 feet tall and a few inches.
The modern day Gaza Strip is located in the ancient land of the Philistines. Ancient Gath appears to be close to what is modern day Kiryat Gat, Israel.
And to this day, this geography remains an area of conflict.

A couple of nights ago, the world was lead to believe that Israel had bombed a hospital in the Gaza Strip killing over 500 and destroying the hospital. The incident occurred in the dark of the night.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took to X and posted some comments.

China’s Real Estate Concerns and Economy
What is the meaning of the word “hamas”? Well… that depends on who you ask.
I want to give a shout out to my cousin Lance who sent me a text regarding this topic.
Hamas or the Islamic Resistance Movement is a Sunni Muslim organization. The title is an acronym from an Arabic phrase.
The Arabic word “hamas” means: zeal, strength, bravery.
~
However, there is the Hebrew word “hamas“. Per lexicons and dictionaries in the Hebrew, “hamas” means violence. The word is translated as violence, wrong, or malicious in the Bible.
The first time “hamas” is used in the Bible is in Genesis before the flood.
Genesis 6:11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence.
Genesis 6:13 And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
And with this initial recognition and observation, God’s response to humanity’s violence is to eliminate “hamas“. Humanity had defiled the earth or the land with violence. Note also, God’s original intent was to destroy the earth along with humanity. And He did with water.
~
Let’s take a look at what a prophet had to say about violence or “hamas“.
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.
