I received this from Bibles for Israel and wanted to share it with the Brothers and Sisters here at TJ.
Hamas Terrorist accepts Yeshua, the Israeli Jewish Messiah
Shalom Paul,
I just read an article from the Haaretz newspaper and I sent it to an Orthodox Jewish friend who told me that Jesus (Yeshua) could not be the Messiah because one of the qualifications of the Jewish Messiah is that He brings peace to the world.
I explained how Yeshua has brought peace to the hearts of hundreds of millions of “born-again Christians” who personally know Yeshua and therefore God (our Father in Heaven). Through Yeshua these people now have Peace with God.
Of course that explanation wasn’t accepted by this Orthodox Jewish friend. He meant “world peace/political peace,” not peace in an individual’s heart.
However I just sent him this article that I read because it proves that Jesus also brings “political peace” towards Israel when her enemies believe in Yeshua (Jesus).
Hamas' Christian convert states that he left a society that sanctifies terror
(Remember that Hamas is deemed as a terrorist organization.)
The story starts out describing Masab, who is the son of West Bank Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef. Masab meets a Christian friend at a restaurant where they say grace, thanking God and Jesus for “putting food on their plates.”
Masab was a vehement enemy of Israel. He is the son of a Hamas Member of Parliament who was also the most popular figure in that extremist Islamic organization. He assisted his father for years in his political activities! But now he has become a Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) and he goes by the name Joseph instead of Masab. "I'm now called Joseph," he says.
The articles states that Masab (who now lives in California) knows that he won’t be able to ever return to visit the Holy Land in this lifetime. If he does, the Palestinians would kill him. To them he is an Arab traitor by believing in Jesus.
"I know that I'm endangering my life and I am even liable to lose my father, but I hope that he'll understand this and that God will give him and my family patience and willingness to open their eyes to Jesus and to Christianity. Maybe one day I'll be able to return to Palestine and to Ramallah with Jesus, in the Kingdom of God," the Haaretz articles quotes him saying.
Masab now has a love for the state of Israel which was once his enemy.
“Send regards to Israel, I miss it. I respect Israel and admire it as a country," he says in the article.
Masab says that the Jewish people need to understand that they will never have peace with Hamas because it is based on Islam. He says that Muslim ideology forbids achieving a peace agreement with the Jewish people and that Islamic tradition states that: “the Prophet Mohammed fought against the Jews and that therefore they must continue to fight them to the death." He continues saying that Palestinian society sanctifies death and suicide bombings.
It is only through Yeshua the Prince of Peace, that an enemy of Israel can love the Jewish people, and receive eternal salvation.
One of the many languages that the Messianic Prophecy Bible will be published in will be Arabic and we know that Masab will really appreciate it when the Messianic Prophecy Bible can reach his family members and friends with the life-saving message of Yeshua!
