The current manifestations of evil we see happening in our world are the revelation of ancient spirits. They are not something new. We need to look past the current colloquial application of these spirits to see their first mention and application in history as revealed in Scripture. To engage in this kind of prayer is to study the book of Genesis.
These first mentions are simply manifestations of something old now revealed and applied in the present day. The manifestations of these spirits use new language, technologies, and systems of government but they are ruled by the same spirit.
While we do pray need to pray for what we see happening up front and personally, there is another kind of prayer that goes to the very root of authority that applies itself in our present day. That is a prayer that comes against the strongholds of evil and will produce the most powerful results.
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds” (II Corinthians 10:4).
hamaas is actually in scripture.
Gen 6:11 KJV
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
the word violence is Hamas (H2555 in the vines)
Yes… my digital search actually found forty-three places in the OT where the word “hamas” was translated “violence” (NIV84). Pretty eye-opening.
This is something I found relevant (quoted from Campbell Morgan): With regard to idolatry, the Old Testament reveals three great ideas of God embodied within the false systems of religion, all of them based upon a distortion of truth. These are indicated by the three words, Baal, Moloch, and Mammon. The worship of Moloch expressed itself in all cruelty, its chief expression being the sacrifice of little children. Man magnifying his own emotional nature finds a god who will be appeased by acts of cruelty; the degraded affectional nature will express itself in lack of love, and therefore in deeds of brutality towards the offspring of man. The worship of Moloch has by no means ceased. As man to-day has deified, and worships in fearful form at the shrine of the central mystery of life, he does so with callous heart and absolute indifference to the ruin wrought. Let it only be said that as love is the fairest word in all the vocabulary of human speech, the foulest is (blood) lust.
