On the Brink in Britain and Israel

There have now been over eight months of political stalemate in the country of Israel since the April 9th elections.  An unprecedented second election was held in September, and over the past three months the various parties have been wrangling with each other to cobble together a coalition government—unsuccessfully.  Tonight is the deadline to form a government and it would appear that the Knesset is about to vote to dissolve itself for a second time, making way for a third election on March 2, 2020.

Israel’s present inability to form a government (which has never happened before), coming shortly after the Revelation 12 Sign (9/23/17), the country’s 70th anniversary (5/14/2018), and the Jewish Nation-State Law (7/19/2018), leads me to believe that a major spiritual shift is underway in the covenant land.  Soon the Church will be removed and God will begin to fulfill the ancient promises made to the Jewish nation, as it says in the book of Acts:

...and after they were silent, James answered, saying, “Men, brothers, listen to me: Simeon expounded how at first God looked on [us] to take a people out of [the] nations for His Name, and to this the words of the prophets agree, as it has been written: After these things I will return, || And I will rebuild the dwelling place of David that has fallen down, || And I will rebuild its ruins, || And will set it upright—That the remnant of men may seek after the LORD, || And all the nations on whom My Name has been called, || Says the LORD, who is doing all these things.

—Acts 15:13–17 (from the LSV*)

Furthermore, the Knesset’s failure to form a government reminds me of the words of the Prophet Micah:

Now, why do you shout aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, || That pain as of a travailing woman has taken hold of you? Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, || As a travailing woman, || For now you go forth from the city, || And you have dwelt in the field, || And you have gone to Babylon, || There you are delivered, || There YHWH redeems you from the hand of your enemies. And now, many nations have gathered against you, who are saying: “Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.”

—Micah 4:9–11 (LSV)

This prophecy was partially fulfilled many thousands of years ago when the Jews were exiled to Babylon, but as with many prophecies, the ultimate focus is on Christ and the Kingdom He is bringing.  As the Jewish people still largely reject their Messiah, there will be one last exile of Israel in the midst of the Tribulation, and many nations—not just Babylon—will be gathered against her.  September 23, 2017 was the warning cry of a woman in travail, and very, very soon, labor pains will befall the heavenly woman’s earthly counterpart (Israel).  A power vacuum is forming in Israel as the baby is ready to be born.

Not only is tonight the deadline for Israel to form a government, but tomorrow historic British elections will be held, the outcome of which will determine if Brexit will come to pass.  Polls show an edge for the pro-Brexit party of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, but they’ve also shown tightening in the last few days.  The outcome is uncertain.  If Johnson secures a majority of Parliament, Brexit will likely occur on January 31st, and all the world’s big globalist names are lined up against it (at least publicly).  If Brexit does occur next month, the global clout of the European Union will be dealt a serious blow (a head wound of sorts?), and the global economy could be faced with a major challenge during the emotional kerfuffle between UK leaders and their EU counterparts.

Now considering the significance of tonight’s vote in Israel to hold a third set of elections, and tomorrow’s nationwide vote in the UK, here is a little tidbit pointing to the sovereignty of God, as if He’s leaving fingerprints: tomorrow will be exactly 6,666 days from September 11, 2001.  Even more intriguing: the last full moon of the decade occurs tomorrow at 12:12 Eastern time.  That’s 12/12 @ 12:12 AM.
