Prophetic implications of Netanyahu victory
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won a decisive victory in the Israeli elections despite the US "president's" efforts to unseat him, and having to fight a hostile media. Netanyahu's Likud party won 30 seats to the leftist Zionist Union's 24 seats, affording Netanyahu the opportunity to form a conservative coalition government. In the immediate short term, these results have significant prophetic implications. First and foremost, the pace rushing toward apocalyptic confrontation with Islamic/Arab traditional enemies of Israel appears to have been slowed by the human factor that impacts prophecy--at least from electing those opposing appeasement to Islamic objectives. The impact, however, may be the opposite.
The victory means, if Netanyahu keeps his pre-election promise, that the world's folly of having a Palestinian state living side by side with Israel, actually cutting Israel in half, will not be realized any time soon. The so-called "peacemakers" will have a much more difficult time coopting Israel's support for allowing Iran nuclear capabilities. The pace of "all things Islam" kept by the US "president" may be slowed in the short term, hindered by a newly realized public perception in Israel that enemies should be kept at bay. All this could bring tensions to a head faster. The Islamic side would seemingly be more energized, more blatantly (if that is possible) aggressive, culminating in hostilities.
Already the spin-masters at the White House and Democratic Party circles are putting on the face that US-Israel relations are too strong and deep to be affected by any animosity between the "president" and his foreign policy nemesis Netanyahu. As of the time of this writing, there is no message of congratulations from the White House. What this all means is that the Islamic human factor will be inflamed, energized and spoiling for a fight with Israel. As events play out, hardliners against appeasement will likely take strong and emboldened stands against Islamic aggression, accelerating hostilities. This, in contrast to having appeasers give in to Islamists, fomenting a faster establishment/stronghold of Islam.
Irrespective of the election, God will have His way. The players on the world stage are such that prophecy will continue to march ahead, the layers revealing themselves with each passing day. On one hand, the dark side appears to be dealt a human setback with the Israeli elections. On the other hand, the circle of darkness and the evil intent of many leaders hearts' will be eager to press Israel and force their way. Nahum 1:3 says, "The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet." We must remain focused on the mission. Make disciples. Explain the times. Bring people to the full knowledge of the Lord.
Have a
Blessed and Powerful Day!
