Bibi Is Back As The Blood Moon Rises

The dust is settling on Israel's historic fifth election in a span of just four years and it appears Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu has handily clinched the election. 5, of course, is the number of grace. 4 is the open door. Revelation 4–5 is the prophetic inflection point where we witness the rapture through an open door and the glorified Church seated in Heaven immediately prior to the beginning of the Tribulation. The day after the election the U.S. stock market was sent into a tailspin following a 75-basis-point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve and talk inflation will be much more difficult to tamp down than anticipated. The Bank of England followed suit. The global economy is now in the worst dire straits since the Great Depression. The main U.S. index fell 505.44 points, closing down 1.55 percent.

God seems to be highlighting grace and the open door in a big way right now. The open door and pre-trib promise were delivered to the church in Philadelphia (Rev. 3:8–10). The true Church, saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, has little strength but a Mighty Savior; when the wicked dragon stands ready to devour (Rev. 12:3–4), the Church goes up, but the rebel dragon and his rebellious stars come crashing down (Rev. 12:7–9). No wonder then that we're in the middle of the World Series featuring none other than the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros ("astro" comes from Latin and Greek aster—"star"). It's all tied up with three games to go.

The world seems to be undergoing some final decorations—a few final pieces being arranged in anticipation of the big day. The right players need to be in place and ready to move when the time comes. For starters, the Twitter deal finally closed and the world's richest man—creepily dawning the "Satan's Champion" costume for Halloween, featuring Baphomet and an upside-down cross—now owns the world's most politically influential social media platform.

Then on Sunday the Brazilian election saw Bolsonaro lose by a thin margin to Lula da Silva. Despite the loss, media talking heads in Brazil are witnessing the resurgence and staying power of the political right for the first time in decades. The 50-49 results have brought the country to an utter standstill as hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets, blocking roads, burning tires, and surrounding the military headquarters as cries of election fraud continue to mount.

Then Israel's election came on Tuesday, and barring anything unforeseen as the last couple percent of ballots are counted, Netanyahu's coalition looks set to control a sizeable 64 or 65-seat majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Most significantly, his coalition will be perhaps the most religious in Israel's history. In fact, his coalition partners are exclusively religious—Shas, United Torah Judaism, and the Religious Zionist Party, the latter of which has called for complete Israeli control of the Temple Mount and suggested the Temple could come about "at any time."

To put this in perspective: if you were looking for the exact coalition that you would need to have in place in order to rebuild the Temple and reinstitute the Mosaic system at the onset of the Tribulation, this is it. Of equal importance is that Netanyahu will be back at the helm and he, along with Trump and crew, were the architects of both the Deal of the Century and the Abraham Accords—the very agreements that may form the basis of the future confirmed covenant for seven years.

Still to come is next week's midterm election here in the United States where polls are showing what some political scientists have termed "a bloodbath." Republicans look set to retake the House and possibly even the Senate, which will likely set the stage for Trump's rapid return to the political scene (last Trump, anyone?).

Tuesday's election will also ominously feature the last total lunar eclipse (a.k.a., "blood moon") anywhere in the world until March of 2025. Most of North America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific will witness the total phase of the historic eclipse. And lest I forget to mention: the total duration of the eclipse will be 5 hours and 54 minutes—grace, grace, and the open door.
