Third Israeli Election While Coronavirus Panic Takes Hold

UPDATE (3/4/20): With virtually all votes now counted (> 99%), Likud's coalition has now lost another seat, down to 58 [source].  Though an improvement over the September election, this is actually a smaller coalition than the original April 2019 election that started this whole ordeal.  Netanyahu is now three seats short of a majority.  Were Kaduri and Shoshani right after all?  Three elections in a row without a majority!  The only way Bibi ekes this out is to get three other MK-elects to defect or to get Avigdor Lieberman to join the coalition.  Neither proposition looks promising.

UPDATE (3/2/20): Polls have now closed across the country.  Israeli media is reporting "unexpected results": three different exit polls are showing Likud with around 37 seats vs. Blue and White with 33.  This would mean an improvement for Netanyahu's chances, but his conservative coalition would need 61 seats to secure a majority.

Polling stations have just opened across Israel as voting gets underway to decide the yearlong battle between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rival Benny Gantz.  Recent polls have shown a slight lead for Netanyahu, but will it be enough to secure a majority?  Today's vote will be a test of some of the speculation around purported prophecies from several Jewish rabbis, including Yitzhak Kaduri and Sasson Hai Shoshani.

Demonstrating just how global the Coronavirus contagion has become, Israeli authorities have set up special polling stations to handle the 5,000 or so Israelis currently under quarantine for observation.  As if a scene from the book of Numbers or one of the gospel accounts, an Israeli under quarantine orders could be seen complaining to the police about being treated like a leper:

But as the stations opened Monday, some of the Israelis under quarantine were not happy with the way they were treated at their special voting stations.

A Jerusalemite who is under quarantine for fear of being infected caused a scene at the Jerusalem coronavirus polling station, according to a report by the Hebrew website Mako.  He screamed through a megaphone 10 meters away from a police officer, “Don’t treat us like lepers.” [source]

Significantly, the U.S. government had withheld support for the annexation of the additional land proposed in the Deal of the Century until after today's elections.  With the elections happening today and the six-member mapping committee moving steadily along, we are growing close to the division of the land.

Despite global panic over the virus, it's shocking just how aloof most remain as a monumental prophecy is set to unfold before our very eyes—the division of the land God allotted to the descendants of Jacob.  The Great Sign two-and-a-half years ago wasn't enough to awaken the world and it seems a more concrete fulfillment won't be enough either.  It's going to take something much greater to finally remove the blinders from their eyes.

Brother Barry summed it up well this morning:

2nd US COVID-19 Death in Washington; Italian Soccer Teams play to empty stadiums and many companies cancel all travel, even domestic.  French death toll doubles overnight and the Senior Advisor to the Ayatollah in Iran is dead from the virus.  Jesus is coming soon, folks!  BELIEVE on the Son of God!  John 3:16

This upcoming Saturday, March 7th, the morning star Venus will conjunct with Uranus (a transliteration of the Greek word for "Heaven").  Then 28 days later, Venus, nearing its brightest point of the year, will have its closest conjunction with the seven stars of Pleiades for the first time in hundreds of years.  If September 23, 2017 was the astronomical aspect of Revelation 12:1–2 and October 8, 2018 was the alignment of Revelation 12:3–4, perhaps April 3–4, 2020 is the astronomical fulfillment of Revelation 12:5.

How much will the world change in 28 days following the Israeli elections and the continued spread of this viral contagion?
