In the book of Ezekiel, especially in chapter 36, verses 16-36, the Scriptures declare the following,
16 The word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds. Their ways before me were like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity. 18 So I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood that they had shed in the land, for the idols with which they had defiled it. 19 I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. In accordance with their ways and their deeds I judged them. 20 But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, they profaned my holy name, in that people said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go out of his land.’ 21 But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.
22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. 23 And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. 24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.[a] 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you. 30 I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.31 Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 “Thus says the Lord God: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt. 34 And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by. 35 And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’36 Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the Lord; I have rebuilt the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.
Everything that I’m writing about today is directly related to the word of the Lord above, given to the prophet Ezekiel. The verse that really shook me is verse 22,
“Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came
In verse 22, God gives us the reason why He defends His chosen nation, the nation of Israel, and it is for the sake of His holy name. He is a God of covenant, who is faithful to His promises, and consequently He acts on behalf of Israel to uphold His holy character because God cannot deny His name.
Given the preface I’ve provided, let’s now explore why I find it challenging to take anyone seriously if they show any inclination towards supporting Hamas in their devious ways. Recently, I posted the following statement on LinkedIn, and it certainly struck a nerve, I said,
Am I a zionist, you better believe that. Am I afraid of the Hamas and their fear tactics? I will never be, screw the Hamas and their supporters. The scripture says do not fear the one that can kill the body and after that, they can do nothing else, but here’s whom you shall fear, the one that has the power to throw your should in Hell. With that said, I reiterate my earlier assertion: F**** the Hamas and their supporters.
The very next day, I received a private message from an individual, let’s just call him a Hamas’ advocate who said the following,
I thought you were a God fairing man,
I believe he meant to say a GOD fearing man. And here is a screenshot of our exchange.
Why Do I Call Myself A Zionist?
First , when I say I’m a Zionist, I’m essentially declaring that I am for the return of the people of Israel to their own land, the land that was promised to them by God in the scriptures. And you saw what I shared with you about Ezekiel 22. If Ezekiel 22 is true, which it is, then that makes the apostle Paul, the 12 disciples, the Virgin Mary, the Messiah, and God Himself a Zionist because they all believed in the existence of the state of Israel.
I’m not surprised by what has been happening in the news as of late since I’ve been reading the book of Revelation. The current hate of the people of Israel and the protest against them on several prominent universities is not an accident. If you focus on Revelation 11 and 12, you’ll understand that one of the tactics of the dragon mentioned in the passage is the use of anti-Jewish propaganda to further his agenda. Therefore, none of the current events should surprise any true Bible-believing born-again Christian. The issue with most Christians is that we do not take the Bible or prophecy seriously. Consequently, we tend to view world events through the lens of mainstream media and popular opinion rather than through our biblical perspective.
The Bible says: “Woe to you who call evil good and good evil.” The truth is not only that universities have allowed this, but they only retract their support only when exposed online or by Senate committees. In reality, they are behind it because they set it in motion; this is the gospel of wokeness. This gospel has no problem supporting Hamas and accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians when IDF soldiers clearly warn civilians (to avoid collateral damage) to leave before attacking suspected Hamas hiding places. Additionally, Hamas has been using civilians as human shields, another tactic of the enemy to defame Israel. I do want to tell you how this evil organization started and hopefully at the end of my discourse, you’ll be able to make an informed decision about whether to support these nonsensical protests or not.
How Did The Hamas Start?
All behind the issue of the Palestinian agenda, behind Gaza, behind Hamas, is one name, Muhammad Amin al-Husseini. He was born at the end of the 19th century in Ottoman-controlled Jerusalem. In the First World War, he fought in the Ottoman army. After the war, he returned to Jerusalem and focused on derailing all movements towards the birth of a Jewish nation in the land.
His inflammatory speeches incited violent Arab riots, resulting in several Jewish people dead in 1921. He assumed the title of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. In the years that followed, he played a central role in instigating violent Arab uprisings against the Jews of the Middle East, specifically the land of Israel, resulting in bloodshed. Due to this, a warrant was issued for his arrest, but he managed to escape prosecution.
By the way, the title “Grand Mufti” historically refers to the highest official of religious law in Sunni Islam. The Grand Mufti is typically recognized as an authority on Islamic law and issues legal opinions (fatwas) on matters within the Islamic faith.
Back to Muhammad Amin, after fleeing prosecution, he fled to Lebanon, then Iraq, and then went to Nazi Germany. He was a fan of Adolf Hitler. Soon after Hitler rose to power in Germany, the Mufti expressed his support for the new government. He said that the Palestinian Muslims were enthusiastic supporters of the Nazi regime.
He looked forward to the spread of fascism throughout the Middle East and was especially a fan of the Nazis’ anti-Jewish campaigns. He appealed to Hitler to rid Palestine of Jewish settlements. In 1940, he drafted a document he hoped the Nazi government would approve. A document in which the Arab countries would be given the right to “solve the Jewish issue” in their lands, as the Nazis had done. In Germany, in November of 1941, the Mufti obtained a meeting with Adolf Hitler at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin. He told Hitler that the Arabs were his natural allies as they had the same enemies, specifically the Jews.
He asked Hitler to commit to the elimination of a national Jewish homeland. Hitler affirmed his commitment and agreed to destroying the Jewish presence in the Arab sphere at the right time.
In July 1942, the Mufti visited a Nazi concentration camp and was impressed by what he saw during the Holocaust. He actually worked to block the escape routes of Jewish people attempting to flee the Holocaust and was personally responsible for preventing the escape of 500 Jewish children, condemning them to their deaths in Nazi concentration camps.
He would be accused of condemning 400,000 Jewish people to extermination during the war. The Mufti worked for the Third Reich broadcasting Nazi propaganda throughout the Arab world. In turn, the Nazis distributed his writings, including a pamphlet he wrote for the SS, calling for the total destruction of the Jewish people. He urged his Nazi employers to bomb Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to kill the Jews there. He worked with Heinrich Himmler, the overseer of the Holocaust, to organize Muslim SS killing squads. He publicly exhorted the Muslim world to emulate the Nazis in a final solution to the “Jewish problem.” Near the end of the war, the Mufti broadcasted from Radio Berlin and said, “Arabs, kill the Jews wherever you find them.”
After the war, he was identified as a war criminal. He escaped again.He fled to Egypt, where he was welcomed as a hero. During his time with the Nazis, his popularity among the Arabs only increased. He resumed his leadership in the Arab world and worked with the Muslim Brotherhood. When Israel was about to be reborn in 1948, he fought to destroy it through his influence. He has been referred to as the father of Palestinian nationalism. He played a central role in initiating the Palestinian movement against Israel. Even though Hitler did not survive the war, the Mufti continued his work in the Middle East. One prominent Muslim leader at the time remarked, “Germany and Hitler are gone, but Al-Husseini, the Mufti, will continue.”
His Connection To Yasser Arafat
After the end of the Nazis, the Mufti fled to Egypt and there met an Arab teenager attending a secondary school in Cairo. He took that teenager under his wing and recruited him to his cause. The youth became his disciple, his name was Yaser Arafat, the most famous leader of the Palestinian agenda. The Mufti indoctrinated him and his associates into his hatred of the Jewish people and his ideology of exterminating them.
Arafat would become the leader of Palestinian nationalism. It is no accident that he was also the leader of Palestinian terrorism. It was all the same goal: to train Arafat to wage war against the Jews of Israel.
The Mufti secretly brought in a former Nazi commando to Egypt who taught Arafat and his comrades how to launch attacks against Jewish people in Israel, how to wage guerrilla warfare, and how to shed Jewish blood. Arafat himself would then recruit Nazi instructors into the Palestinian agenda, including those who had worked in the Nazi death machine.
The Muslim Brotherhood
Now we come to another key individual, Hassan al-Bana. He was born in 1906 in a rural Nile Delta town near Cairo.
When he reached adulthood, he became an elementary school teacher and was disturbed by the abandonment of Islamic beliefs in Egyptian culture. In March 1928, he preached a return to the Quran and founded an organization dedicated to Islam and jihad.
The organization would be called the Muslim Brotherhood. Ten years later, the Brotherhood had branches in every province of Egypt. After that, it had half a million active members and many more sympathizers. The Brotherhood was born just as the Nazis were coming to power in Germany. Like the Mufti, Al-Bana was an enthusiastic fan of Adolf Hitler.
He especially admired the Hitler’s hatred of the Jewish people. He wrote him repeatedly to express his admiration and his hope that Islam and the Nazis would become collaborators. Every year from 1935 onward, the Brotherhood would send delegations to attend the Nazi party’s annual rallies in Nuremberg.
The Muslim Brotherhood played a significant role in translating Hitler’s autobiography and anti-Jewish sentiments into Arabic, titling it “My Jihad” or “Jihadi.” This translated work became a bestseller in the Arab world. In 1938, the Brotherhood brought Hitler’s ideology of fighting against the Jewish people to the Middle East. The organization led demonstrations against Jews in Egypt, bombed a synagogue, and ransacked Jewish homes in Cairo, mirroring the actions of the Nazis in Germany.
Collaboration between the Nazis and the Muslim Brotherhood deepened in the 1930s, with Hitler financing them. Members of the Brotherhood served as Middle Eastern agents, Nazi spies, and even fought for Hitler in Nazi troops, including specialized SS divisions.
Now Al-Bana, not only admired Hitler but also partnered with the Mufti ( Muhammad Amin al-Husseini) in their shared mission against Jews through the Muslim Brotherhood. This collaboration spread antisemitism throughout the Arab world, becoming a core tenet of radical Islamic thought. Jews were vilified as inherently evil, seen as a threat to world domination, and viewed as targets for extermination. As a result of this collaboration, Mufti was positioned as the Brotherhood’s ideal representative in the land of Israel.
A Child Is Born: The Hamas
Muhammad Amin al-Husseini aka the Mufti’s main headquarters in Israel was in the city of Gaza, where the Muslim Brotherhood had a significant influence. From this influence, a child was born in Gaza, known as the Islamic Resistance Movement or Hamas, formed on December 10th, 1987. The founding charter of Hamas reveals its core mission: obliterate Israel and its Jewish population.
The charter echoes antisemitic sentiments, blaming Jews for controlling the media, inciting revolutions, and undermining societies. It portrays Israel, Judaism, and Jews as inherently evil, rejecting any possibility of peace with them. It emphasizes violence against Jews, expressing a relentless assault and killing mandate. This extreme hatred towards Jewish people is ingrained in Hamas’s ideology, making negotiation impossible due to its foundational goal of Israel’s destruction.
The Hamas charter certainly reflects a deeply entrenched antisemitism linked to historical figures like Hitler. The chants and vows of Hamas members further underscore their commitment to violence and the annihilation of Israel and Jews, portraying a worldview centered on hatred and extremism.
Here is another very interesting fact about the word Hamas. Do you actually know what Hamas means in Hebrew? It means evil, violence, and destruction. So when ignorant folks chant on American campuses, “Long live Hamas” they are essentially saying, “Long live violence, long live destruction.” Or when they chant “We are Hamas” they are in like manner declaring: “We are evil, long live evil.” I bet you the majority of them have no clue what they are saying or why they are even there, they are just being used as tools by the Dragon, the Serpent of old as he is referred to in the book of Revelation. The Palestinians also have largely also become vessels of evil, used by the Hamas whether directly or indirectly to do harm the Jews.
So you see the connection between the Mufti, Yaser Arafat, Hassan El- Bana, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hitler. They have one thing in common, annihilating the jews and they are doing the deeds of their father, the devil who since genesis has been trying to thwart the plan of God. Now let’s go to the book of revelation so you’ll understand what is really going on.
Let’s go to Revelation 12,
The Woman and the Dragon
And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule[a] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers[b] has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. 15 The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood[c] on the sand of the sea.
I don’t think I can give a full exposition of Revelation 12 in this post but I’ll give you a general idea so that you can understand the signs of the time. The woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars is Israel. She is about to give birth to a male child that is to rule the nations with a rod of iron, and this child is the Messiah, Jesus. And because of the title of this child, the Red dragon ( who is satan) is trying to devour the child. If you look at the Scriptures, satan has been trying everything to prevent the birth of the messiah, and one of the most atrocious thing that happened was Herod’s murder of children two and under. We are told that the child is caught up to God and His throne, referring to the ascension of Jesus to right side of the Father. The passage doesn’t mention his death , which ultimately led to his defeat of satan after his resurrection.
I want you to zero in on verse 9, Satan ( the red dragon) is referred to as the deceiver of the whole world, does that ring a bell to you. Why do you think all these protests are happening on several universities in the USA, do you think it is by accident? Of course, the great deceiver is the one behind the curtain, creating havoc and this is why as born again Christians, we cannot neglect biblical prophecy lest we fall into great error. I also want you to pay attention to verse 13, since satan has realized that his time is short, he is bent on persecuting the woman ( Israel) and in verse 15 we are told that he has poured out water like a river out of his mouth to sweep her away, ( to sweep Israel away). And many expositors have likened this water out the dragon’s mouth to propaganda, and I agree with it because we have been witnessing it since Hitler and way before Hitler. This is a very very short overview of Revelation 12 but my goal was to show you that none of what is taking place today is an accident, it is a work of satan and those who support the Hamas are puppets used by satan to do his bidding.
Anyone who calls himself/herself a christian and supports any of this false propaganda that the media is feeding us is a darn fool, and a child of satan.
I will finish with the following : F*** the Hamas, their supporters and if that means you refer to me as a zionist then guess what, I gladly accept the title.
