August 29, 2017 SnyderTalk: Hamas leader: Iran helping Hamas prepare for war with Israel
Washington Examiner—Hamas leader: Iran helping Hamas prepare for war with Israel:
Iran is helping terrorists in Gaza prepare for war with Israel, according to a leading Hamas official.
“Every day we build missiles and continue military training,” Yahya Sinwar, a military leader recently voted prime minister of Hamas in Gaza, told reporters.
That effort derives significant support from Iran.
“The Iranian military support to Hamas and al-Qassam [the military wing of Hamas] is strategic,” Sinwar said, per the Times of Israel.
Their renewed cooperation shows that Hamas and the Iranians have patched up a relationship that deteriorated when they disagreed over support for Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. It also points to how Assad and Iran’s wins in Syria strengthens Israel’s terrorist enemies.
Iran has long supported Palestinian terrorist groups as well as Hezbollah, a Lebanese terrorist group that controls territory north of Israel. Sinwar’s comments bolster concerns that U.S. officials and Congressional observers have had about the conflict in Syria. Although most public discussions about the Syria crisis have focused on the threat of the Islamic State, or Assad’s willingness to use chemical weapons against his own people, major world powers have seen a subtler long-term significance to the outcome of the conflict.
Russia and Iran have partnered to support Assad, who had been weakened by the combined threats of U.S.-backed rebels and the radical terrorists who formed the ISIS caliphate. With their help, Assad has recaptured rebel-held territory, while the United States has focused on the defeat of ISIS.
“Assad has won and he will stay [in power],” former U.S. ambassador to Syria Robert Ford told The National, an Australian paper, in a new interview. “He may never be held accountable, and Iran will be in Syria to stay. This is the new reality that we have to accept, and there isn’t much we can do about it.”

SnyderTalk Comment:
Keep watching Iran.
The day will come when people who have the faith of Abraham will understand why Donald Trump was elected president.
I have read and heard the arguments against President Trump, but there is one argument for him that I can’t and won’t ignore.
Yahweh chose Donald Trump for that job. It was His decision to make, not mine or yours.
To unbelievers and people who think they are a lot smarter than they are, that sounds ludicrous. They keep saying that Trump is not qualified to be president. They tend to forget that Barack Obama was a community organizer. His record of accomplishment before being elected president was zilch. His record of accomplishment as president was worse than that, but they have the audacity to criticize President Trump.
The Bible is loaded with examples of people who never would have been elected to serve. King David is one. He was an adulterer and a murderer, but Yahweh said that David was a man after His own heart.
David wasn’t perfect. Thankfully, perfection isn’t required. The faith of Abraham is required, and that’s what David had in abundance.
What about Samson? He wasn’t perfect either, but Yahweh chose him. If Samson had run for office, people would have thought it was a joke.
Yahweh doesn’t see things the way we see things. Our job is to sync with Yahweh and follow Him.
Some people think that syncing with Yahweh is impossible, but it’s not. In fact, it’s required. That’s what the faith of Abraham is all about.
Switching Gears but Only Slightly: It’s About Syncing
This summer, I started a writing project: Must Jewish People Convert to Christianity to be Saved? Shortly after it was completed, I started another project: Press on to Maturity. I didn’t realize that I was writing a trilogy until I started the third project: The Faith of Abraham.
All three books are available in paperback and eBook at Amazon. You can see them by clicking on the “Books” icon in the horizontal menu bar at the top of each SnyderTalk post.
Each book is available for free in PDF format. You can access the PDF file by clicking on the “Books” icon.
Starting today, the three books are combined under a separate title: The Trilogy. It is available in PDF format for free right now, and it will be available in paperback and eBook at Amazon in a few days.
The Trilogy has two significant advantages over the three books separately:
- It costs less than the three books purchased separately.
- Over the summer, Yahweh clarified my thinking on Must Jewish People Convert to Christianity to be Saved? I left the content of book the same, but in The Trilogy, I revised Must Jewish People Convert to Christianity to be Saved? to reflect the things Yahweh showed me. Reading both versions will be insightful for people who are interested in learning about progressive revelation. That’s how Yahweh works. He doesn’t show us everything all at once.
Below is the book cover for The Trilogy. Again, go to the “Books” icon in the horizontal menu bar at the top of SnyderTalk to access all the books.
You can see The Trilogy in PDF format by clicking on the title: The Trilogy.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
