An Emergency Government for the Time of Jacob's Trouble?

UPDATE (5/6): At close to Midnight Israeli time on Wednesday, the High Court of Justice in Israel has approved the coalition agreement between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz.  The new government will be sworn in next Wednesday, May 13th.  The last obstacle to Israel's implementation of the Deal of the Century has now [seemingly] been removed and the vote may take place as early as July 1st.  The U.S. ambassador to Israel has reaffirmed that the vote on annexation will only be supported if it is done on the basis of the Trump peace deal, which imposes a four-year land freeze and sets aside approximately 70% of Judea and Samaria for a future Palestinian state (source).  If the Knesset and Israeli cabinet votes in accord with the peace plan, then the U.S. is promising to quickly recognize Israel's new acquisitions of the Jordan Valley and over 100 settlements.  With everything now moving full speed ahead, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is reportedly headed to Israel next week to meet with both Benjamins, surely to discuss the imminent imposition of the historic peace agreement (source).

At the moment it looks like all systems are go, but we may get a more definitive answer on Thursday when the High Court of Justice in Israel rules on the emergency coalition agreement.  For the course of the past year, spanning three separate elections, the Knesset has been unable to form a government.  This had never happened before in the country's history and it's happening now because the world is on the very cusp of the period of time referred to in the 30th chapter of Jeremiah as "the time of Jacob's trouble."

At the last minute, rivals Benjamin ("Benny") Gantz and Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to form Israel's first emergency government—the first extra-ordinary government in the country since the Provisional State Council that formed shortly before the country's inception.  In this we see yet another bookend, signifying that the fig tree generation is nearing its end and the end of this pre-tribulation transitional period that began with the establishment of the state of Israel is almost complete.

The race to the finish line kicked off with all speed in August and September of 2017 when Jared Kushner began laying the groundwork for the Deal of the Century and the Revelation 12 Sign occurred, respectively.  The deal was finally unveiled on January 28th of this year with immediate support from both Netanyahu and Gantz, and the very hour it was revealed the biggest earthquake so far this year—a 7.7—shook Mar-a-Lago, which is the personal residence of President Trump, the man pushing the deal.  Just three days after the reveal the U.S. government would declare a public health emergency due to COVID-19.

Fast forward just three months and we've now witnessed the whole world on the verge of economic collapse, the groundwork being laid for the Antichrist's government, and this emergency government in Israel taking shape.  I think this is it, friends.

Central to the emergency coalition agreement between Gantz and Netanyahu is agreement to allow a straight up-or-down vote on annexation and the Deal of the Century as early as July 1st.  To make crystal clear that annexation is only greenlighted as part of the complete deal, including support for a Palestinian state, Trump has informed Netanyahu the U.S. will only support a vote on sovereignty if it includes the whole deal (source).

In order for this formal vote on dividing the land to take place, three things needed to happen: 1. Likud and Blue and White had to finally come to a coalition agreement, 2. the U.S. government had to confirm that the vote could proceed even without Palestinian agreement, and 3. the High Court of Justice must rule on the legality of this emergency government since the coalition agreement involves numerous changes to the basic constitutional structure of Israel (called Basic Laws).

Sure enough, the first requirement was met on April 20th, the second on April 22nd, and the third may be met this week.  On Sunday the High Court sent signals it may allow the coalition agreement to proceed, but yesterday it called into question clauses of the agreement.  Netanyahu and Gantz have just amended those clauses to [hopefully] bring it in line with the High Court's concerns.  If all goes as planned, the agreement could be confirmed this week and the new government sworn in next week.  It's an emergency government that will vote to divide the land—and truly a great emergency is at hand: the time of Jacob's trouble.

If September of 2017 was the sign of the woman in labor, perhaps 2020 is the crystallization of that sign on the earth.  Did the woman become pregnant, so to speak, in January when the Deal of the Century was revealed?  One of the first signs of pregnancy is morning sickness.  Early this year the worldwide pandemic of Coronavirus began making the news.  Soon it was in virtually every country on earth.  The woman, Israel, has been so sick she was put on proverbial bed rest when most of the country was locked down over Passover.  What happens next?  Soon the baby starts to kick and then the woman's water breaks prefacing her soon-coming labor pains.  Well Israel's water is the Sea of Galilee, which has just filled up to the brim for the first time in decades, just as a woman's amniotic sack fills up with fluid.  Her water broke just days ago as Paul Dawson reported.  Israel's Degania Dam has opened sending a torrent of water flowing into the Jordan River.

But the most important thing to note is that the baby to be born is born before her labor pains strike (cf. Isa. 66:7–9).

Adding to all of these themes of the end of this present age and the end of the fig tree generation, Coronavirus itself is a major hint.  Corona comes from the Greek word κορώνη, which is the garland or wreath gifted to the winners in athletic games.  In the Greek it also has the meaning of the end, tip, or point of something.  In ancient Greek the coronis was a textual symbol denoting the end of a written work.

Furthermore, we can see a sign of the end in the appearance of Comet Atlas (C/2019 Y4), which was purported to become the first comet visible to the naked eye in years and it was set to be glowing its brightest this month.  Yet it disintegrated as it approached the Sun.  An atlas is a map of the world.  The world will soon burn up in fervent heat at the culmination of the Day of the LORD (2 Pt. 3:7).  But after Atlas disintegrated, Comet Swan took its place and it's now visible to the naked eye.  A "naked eye" comet is rare enough.  One right after another is rarer still.  It looks like the world's swan song is being performed right before our eyes.

In light of the swift convergence of these events, Pastor J.D. Farag has some sobering and encouraging words (depending on what side of the fence you're on).  This might be the most fired up he's ever been.  I think we're all sensing it, brothers and sisters.
