Luke 19:43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.
Many news outlets proclaimed that it was a race that was too close to call. The evening was filled with commentators speculating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be struggling to put together a coalition government.
Weeks of uncertainty. A possible path for Netanyahu’s main rival Isaac Herzog to become PM.
In the end, it wasn’t even that close.
With 99 percent of the vote counted, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party scored a decisive victory over his leftist counterpart’s party giving Netanyahu his fourth term as PM. Likud is in line for 29 or 30 seats in the Knesset with Herzog’s ZIonist Union at 24 seats. This means that Netanyahu will be able to quickly put together a ruling coalition and get a new government in place.
The result was stunning for many observers who had been showing polls of Netanyahu behind by as many as 4 to 5 seats at the lowest point. Pundits said that even if Netanyahu somehow pulled out a victory he would be weakened politically both internationally and within Israel.
No one saw this strong a win coming for Likud. By comparison, the last election had Likud teaming up with another party to gain 36 seats. Likud gets 30 alone in this election.
“I am proud of the Israeli people that, in the moment of truth, knew how to separate between what’s important or what’s not and to stand up for what’s important,” Netanyahu told enthusiastic supporters at Likud’s election party at the Tel Aviv Fairgrounds. “For the most important thing for all of us, which is real security, social economy and strong leadership.”
Likud minister Silvan Shalom said that it would be likely a coalition of “63 to 64 seats” would be formed in the coming days behind Prime Minister Netanyahu.
“Israel said today a very clear ‘yes’ to Prime Minister Netanyahu and to the Likud to continue leading the State of Israel,” Shalom told reporters. “We’ll do it with our allies. We’ll have a strong coalition that is able to deal with all the important issues.”
Analysts say that Netanyahu’s push to the right in the last days of the campaign, including his change in position refusing to back a two-state solution, helped fuel the unexpected victory as it drew voters from other conservative parties.
If God be for you who can be against you. Even if the other party seem to be leading in the polls. we must remember who our God is. There was much much prayer going through for Israel. so there is no way another party was going to win unless it was not in God plan. His perfect will be done. And for all the enemies of Israel that wanted the prime minister out, let them know that when God, JEHOVA is on your side there is no evil that can come near you. I praise the Lord for what He has done again for Israel.
He will continue to do. The ones who would have liked to see the PM out, my advise to them is to get down on their knees and serve the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob.
good for him i want him win!! he undertand about israel etc !!! i know will be alot trouble but we need pray for him wisdom and knowlede and dicerning of spirits everything by GRACE OF GOD IN HEAVEN !!!!!!!!
This will be the catalyst for the next big war, but it has already happened; and foretold. The bible is clear and revelation will play out. God’s land WILL NOT be divided, dispite who wants it to be. There will only ever be a false peace, with evil intent to break the peace. Pastor Jim is absolutely right to intently watch Isreal….this at heart is a squabble between brothers all the way back to Cain..and then issiac, and Ishmael (the wild man). From the creation of man…brothers can’t get along!
