Israeli Election and God’s Sovereignty

Prophecy Update: Israeli Elections and the Sovereignty of God 3/11/20

Isaiah: 34:8, For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

I want to focus this update on the Israeli elections. These elections are telling us a lot about the drive towards the one world government, the fight over Jerusalem, and the eventual victory coming to Israel over her enemies.

The key verse is Isaiah 34:8, have you noticed that God has a lot to say regarding the ‘cause of Zion.’ This cause is talked about in many places and God is very clear about what He wants in Israel. The cause of Zion includes the regathering of Jews to Israel, the possession of all of the land of Israel, the establishment of Jerusalem as the capitol of the world, the attitude of God towards Jerusalem, and the battle that will commence over these issues. As we talk about the election, keep in mind that God has sovereignly upset the whole political class of Israel for His own purposes. One of which is to direct the circumstances so that Israel will gain more of her land. One big dispute in the election is the annexing of the land. Many of the political class want to follow the world and push a two state solution. God says there is only one state with defined Israeli borders. God will get His way in this, I promise you, and we are watching a biblical drama playing out in front of our eyes.

4 takeaways from Netanyahu’s decisive 3rd election victory: by Alex Traiman , JNS Published on 03-04-2020. “Once again, Israel’s overly vibrant hyper-democracy has proven, by a definitive 20-mandate victory, that after 11 years at the helm it is only the voters that still want Netanyahu to be their leader.” As I read this article I could not help think of two biblical stories. First, Jesus said that a country divided against itself could not stand. Israel is divided by leaders who hate each other and will do anything, and I mean anything to prevent Netanyahu from staying in power. The second story is the 12 spies. Israel resembles the 10 spies who said we will not take the land, we will not fight, there are giants in the land and we cannot win. The two leaders who lived by faith in the living God said the opposite. The whole political class in Israel are like the ten spies who God punished for their lack of faith. The two faithful ones are those who live in the settlements, who take the land God commanded them to occupy, who endure the insults of the nations for living in Judea and Samaria. The article points out some interesting facts.

“Benjamin Netanyahu won a decisive victory over his challengers. Garnering 36 mandates is the best-ever showing for the embattled prime minister over a span of nine different elections in which he ran at the head of the Likud Party. The 20-mandate gap (59-39) represents a landslide victory for Netanyahu and his supporters over the direct and secondary supporters for Gantz.”
As you can see, this was the most decisive win Netanyahu has ever had, but the press talked about one thing and only this—that Netanyahu would not be able to form a government. In the parliamentary style government that Israel follows, you need 61 mandates to form a government. The article goes on to tell us why Netanyahu will not form a government.

“The 20-mandate gap (59-39) represents a landslide victory for Netanyahu and his supporters over the direct and secondary supporters for Gantz. Despite the outsized gap, the total currently leaves Netanyahu precariously two seats shy of a 61-seat parliamentary majority prior to the start of upcoming coalition negotiations. Avigdor Lieberman’s resignation as Defense Minister in November 2018, and the removal of his six-seat hawkish Yisrael Beytenu Party from Netanyahu’s previously stable 67-seat right-wing majority government served as a major catalyst in setting early elections into motion. While Lieberman is almost singlehandedly preventing Netanyahu from forming a new government, like the Arab parties, he, too, is holding Israel’s political system hostage and ignoring the results of the elections.”
It is clear that among Netanyahu’s supporters, some are jealous of all that he has been able to accomplish. Netanyahu has reigned over the greatest economic and political boom in their history (starting in 1948). This has caused some who have always supported him to become enemies. This does not happen in a vacuum. In God’s sovereign purpose, this friction is causing Israel to reevaluate their priorities. Will they annex their land or not?

When Israel annexed Jerusalem and the Golan Heights they received scorn and ridicule from the world but God blessed those decisions. Every time that Israel divided the land, God cursed the decision. My heart has been broken so many times watching Israel divide her land and following the world, not the Holy One of Israel! I was dumbfounded when Israel gave Bethlehem to Yassir Arafat—I was so heartbroken over it—a tragedy of epic proportions. Our own nation has been impacted by dividing the land. When we forced Jews out of Gaza, God sent Katrina to our shores. When we put pressure on Israel to sign a land for peace deal, God sent planes to destroy the twin towers. When will we ever learn that God is serious about His land, He does not want anyone to divide the land! Netanyahu promised to annex the Jordan Valley and all of the settlements but has not done it yet. Do it!!! Tell the world to take a hike and get the job done, God will bless the faith and obedience.

Did you notice that the Democratic party lashed out at Netanyahu when he made the promise. Here is a headline: Senators Sanders, Warren push resolution decrying PM’s West Bank annexation idea, Move by group of Democrats an apparent warning to Netanyahu, who has recently spoken in favor of extending Israeli law to all settlements.
Satan hates Israel getting her land. So the enemies of Israel lashed out. Those enemies include Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden. God says in Zechariah 1:17, Again, proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.” Zech.2:12, “The LORD will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.” Zech.8:2, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.’ (God says He is jealous for Jerusalem three times in Zechariah) God has been giving Israel prosperity and success in their cities, out of His grace, even though they still have not obeyed Him regarding the rest of the land. What is God’s attitude, He is exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and His land. Let me describe for you the fight going on in Israel between those who want to give all of Judea and Samaria to the Palestinians and Netanyahu’s party:

“Blue and White pasted major billboards likening Netanyahu to Turkey’s Islamic dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, claiming that Netanyahu is subverting democratic principles by attempting to use his continued premiership as a get out of jail free card for three separate corruption cases that are tentatively scheduled to begin on March 17.” The enemies of God’s will regarding the land have called Netanyahu a dictator. The false charges against him are all an attempt by the George Soros crowd, the one-world nuts, and the left to keep Israel from annexing the land. That is the bottom line: the world does not want to see Israel take all of her land! Erdogan wants a million man Muslim army to come to Israel and kill every Jew in the land—that is who they compare Netanyahu with? This is sick behavior from people who want to run the government. The enemies of Israel will try to exploit this weakness that they perceive in Israel at this time. Israel is not ready for the attack that is coming in this time of division. Israel has Arab members of the Knesset that believe and preach: Israel should not exist! Israel should not be Jewish! Israel needs to be destroyed! How can a country accept parliament members who are traitors? The Blue and White Party wants to join hands with these Arabs in the Joint Arab List. That would be a disaster for Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

The battle between Netanyahu and the Democrats is exacerbated by the hatred of the land of Israel. Bernie sanders said this: “Sanders did not just politely decline his invitation to address AIPAC; he issued a statement attacking the organization for giving a platform to far-right figures, including evangelical pastors and nationalist European politicians, who “express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights.” He branded Netanyahu a “reactionary racist.” According to Sanders if you are for the land of Israel going to Jews, you are a racist. Israel’s U.N. ambassador, Danny Danon, fired back Sunday at the conference, calling Sanders “a liar, an ignorant fool or both.” Netanyahu himself addressed conference attendees via video, saying Sanders’s charges were “libelous.” AIPAC prides itself for being neutral politically, but that is not possible with Democrats who favor the destruction of the Jewish state and who think Zionism is racist. Sanders went on to say that Ilhan Omar is ‘one of the greatest people I know.’ Omar is an anti-Semite bent on the destruction of Israel and she represents the Democratic Party and their view of Israel today. Is it any wonder that Newsweek reported that “Muslim voters love Bernie Sanders.”

The last few weeks I have seen articles claiming that war is going to break out between Israel and Jordan, Hamas, Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Iran. Rather than quoting from these articles, let me say that the war birds are in the air. The Jordan and Israel relationship is at an all-time low over the annexation of land Jordan deems their own. The Jordan Valley is disputed by Jordanian leaders, some of those leaders have advocated open warfare with Israel over the land. Soon, Israel will annex all of Judea and Samaria, including parts of Edom and Moab, and Jordan will submit to Israel: It is biblical prophecy. Isaiah 11:14 says, They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; Together they will plunder the sons of the east; They will possess Edom and Moab, And the sons of Ammon will be subject to them.” This prophecy predicts that Gaza and most of Jordan will be taken over by Israel. I cannot wait for this to happen. Until then, the deep state will start killing, attacking, any who wish to stop the deep state from their goal of crushing dissent—including pro-Israel pro-Jesus people. Here is an article about that.

Republican lawmakers sound alarm over death of DHS whistleblower Philip Haney: 3/10/20. ‘He was murdered’ Counter-terrorism expert Philip Haney was murdered for what he was warning America over militant Islam. During the Obama Administration, Haney was attacked because of his warnings. They ordered him to delete 850 pages of documentation regarding the threat to America from militant Islam. He said in 2009, “DHS ordered me to scrub records of Muslims with terror ties.” Haney called this the first purge. A second purge happened in 2011, targeting those warning America. Haney came under scrutiny and threatened, driven out of government. Obama attacked anyone standing against militant Islam. Obama called the policy ‘Engagement and Dialogue’ this has proved to be disastrous. You remember that the Obama administration gave lip service to Islamic attacks on Americans, blaming others but not Islam. Haney wrote a book called ‘See Something, Say Nothing.’ The deep state works with these Islamic groups and hates those who stand in their way. Here are some quotes:
Two Republican lawmakers — Reps. Louie Gohmert (Texas) and Steve King (Iowa) — are sounding the alarm over the death of Philip Haney, the former Homeland Security official turned whistleblower during the Obama administration. March 9, 2020– “Phil often said, ‘I would never commit suicide,'” King explained, adding that he was a good friend of Haney’s. “I’d been concerned about his safety, with all the information he knew and people who could’ve gotten in trouble.” Gohmert said. “We had a mutual pact. It said: Either one of us ended up committing suicide, then the other is going to make sure that the truth wins out.” This man had firsthand knowledge of many of the Democrats involved with Islamic terror. He was killed for what he knew and for helping the Trump Administration to go after those traitors. His work was obliterated by Obama, although he identified 300 terror suspects. Remember the Boston marathon attack, Orlando and San Bernadino attacks by Islamic terrorists who Obama tried to protect and said were not terrorism. Haney exposed the ties with Muslim Brotherhood members in the USA who were protected by Obama. Haney went to congress with his info. This infuriated Obama, and now the deep state is killing some of those who are a great threat. Obama claimed Haney violated the rights of the terrorists. Haney said he was “investigated nine times, for the violation of civil rights and liberties and privacy rights of foreign nationals.” Under Obama the US government submitted to the goals of Jihad.
Much of the information that I am giving you is from the movie, sabotagethemovie.com, that you can watch free. It is about the work of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. I think this battle in America is about stopping America’s support for Israel. If Trump were not elected, the Brotherhoods goals would have been met in Hilary Clinton. Both Netanyahu and Trump are being attacked because of the support of Israel getting her land, and being against the two state fiction. God is moving the circumstances to accomplish His goals in the world. The goal of possessing the land of Israel and the important cities which God promises will be inhabited by Jews is inevitable! The conditions on the ground are ripe for war, anarchy, and conflict.

I hope Isaiah 26:8-9 will be a comfort to your heart, it says: “Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O LORD, We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.”

I hope that you are waiting for the LORD with great expectancy-He is at work and doing a great job accomplishing all that He said He will do! Does your soul long for the living God? The promise that God gives is that the world will learn the reason for judgments—His righteousness. The world has a habit of rejecting the Lords righteousness—let us trust that God will get it done!

About Joe

We live in the last days and the Bible commands us to watch for the Lord’s coming. I have a keen interest in history, prophecy and current events. I read widely about political and military developments and write a weekly blog from the things I follow. My special interest is in Middle Eastern affairs.

Since I was in college, I have also studied how God judges nations. It all started in Buck Hatches’ class at Columbia Bible College in 1979.

I fell in love with God’s word and especially the prophets. The results of this interest led me to writing The ‘I’ Judgements: Four Sins that Bring about the Fall of Nations. It serves as a warning to the United States, showing biblically of what we need to repent.
