Israel General Election signalling start of the End?

The Prophecy

In April of 2008, Wendy Alec a co-founder of God Television gave a prophetic word about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel which has so far been fulfilled with stunning accuracy. I made a detailed analysis of this in a previous post which I highly recommend you read so that you can fully appreciate what I am about to share. Since the prophecy has been so accurately fulfilled so far, I have been watching for the fulfillment of a particular phrase in it as it seemed to specifically point to the end times. 
Below is the prophecy as it was originally posted on the God TV website;

For My son – I have heard your voice in past years lifted up to me in the midnight hour and even in the months and the years past – when you were passed over in office, My son – KNOW THIS – THAT YOU WERE NOT PASSED OVER BY ME. For I, the Lord God of Israel – I, the sovereign God of the earth have raised you up – BY MY OWN HAND. I have raised you up and I saw the struggle in your soul – and I heard you say – it should be me – this is my role – this is my place. But I have guarded YOU JEALOUSLY, says the Lord, even as I have guarded ISRAEL JEALOUSLY. And I have kept you, son – For a SET time and a season – for the latter days For like King David I have taken you even from the sheepfold and I have raised you up for such a time and for such a PLACE and for such a SEASON I have raised you up says the Lord. For I have not raised you up not for your own sake My son – But FOR JERUSALEM’S SAKE I have raised YOU UP and as you have watched the political powers shift and sway – know this My child – I have chosen you by my own hand – NOT for the seasons of the PAST or the seasons of the immediate present but with deliberate intent I have kept you for THIS NEXT and this SOON COMING SEASON and I tell you, My son – THIS SEASON COMES SWIFTLY TOWARDS YOU I tell you, My son – this season descends SWIFTLY upon you and even as ISRAEL was born even in a day. The nation was born even in a day so, like ISRAEL the nation you are hewn from, EVEN IN A DAY – I SHALL SET YOU IN OFFICE – IN THE HIGH PLACE AS RULER OF ISRAEL YOU SHALL BE. For NOT ONE TERM says the Lord. Not TWO terms says the Lord. But THREE terms – says the Lord

For NOT ONE TERM says the Lord. Not TWO terms says the Lord. But THREE terms. And then the time of the END. And you shall see and marvel. And you shall see that I, the Lord GOD of Israel and NO MAN has done this thing. Not by your own strength or the strength of others, says the Lord. BUT BY MY HAND. I shall set you on high. And I shall set you as a WATCHMAN over my Land as a WATCHMAN over the WALLS of Jerusalem and even like King David YOUR REIGN shall be. And it shall be JUST IN TIME says the Lord. JUST IN TIME

For your voice shall cry out against the plans of MEN. And your voice shall cry out against the strategies of the enemy. And it shall be different than before. For your voice shall roar in the White House and your voice shall roar in the United Nations and your voice shall resound even to the European Union. And you shall say NO – It is ENOUGH NO – Jerusalem is OURS. Jerusalem is the Lord our God’s.

For I tell you, child – you shall yet see things in your day that will make grown men tremble. Remember My son – that I HAVE SET YOU – to water and nurture and GUARD my people ISRAEL and GUIDE My people ISRAEL. I HAVE JEALOUSLY GUARDED YOU TO RELEASE YOU TO REIGN OVER Israel in the time of the END. Be FAITHFUL My son. Cry out to Me for WISDOM in these coming days, My son. Honour My name among your people Israel, My son. And WHEN YOU SEE these things come to pass – REMEMBER ME says the Lord.

And I will set a flame of fire around you in your days of office And many, many, many will be the sinister schemes laid in secret against you But I shall PROTECT YOU says the Lord And you shall know my covering. You shall know my protection and you shall know My grace. And even in your personal life says the Lord, I am about to pour a great oil and balm upon you – And you shall know PEACE and REST on all sides of your personal life, My son. And it shall be My blessing upon you.

While the nations rage against you and I shall hook out the nations even those of the West that the world shall see their true intents and their evil schemes against My Land. And no longer shall their intentions remain hidden from view, says the Lord For I am roused with a holy anger against them and as you speak I SHALL SPEAK. And as you roar I SHALL SURELY ROAR FROM ZION. For you are My chosen vessel for Israel in these last and coming days.

The Fulfillment

This prophecy was made in 2008 before Prime Minister  Netanyahu was re-elected in 2009. Netanyahu had previously been Prime Minister from 1996 to 1999. He became Prime Minister again in 2009, was re-elected in 2013 and is now serving his third consecutive term which began in 2015 fulfilling what God said about him in this prophecy about coming back to power and staying for a third term! However of greater significance to me in this prophecy was when God said,

For NOT ONE TERM says the Lord. Not TWO terms says the Lord. But THREE terms. And then the time of the END

On Christmas Eve, news broke from Israel that early elections would be held on April 9th, 2019. This would signal the end of the Prime Ministers third consecutive term in office. A vote is scheduled for Boxing day to dissolve the Israeli parliament. If dissolution is supported by more than half the members, a national election will take place on April 9th next year. A full term would have taken the government through to November 2019. According to the prophecy, the time of the end would start after this point. It is not clear though what this means exactly.

The Patterns

The widely held belief based on the books of Daniel and Revelations in the bible is that after the rapture of the church, the antichrist will appear on the world scene and make a treaty with Israel intended to be for seven years.
The years in this case are based on a 360 day Jewish prophetic year. Halfway through the seven years (1260 days), he will break the treaty and setup a sacrilegious object in the then reconstructed temple in Jerusalem.

And he will enter into a binding and irrevocable covenant with the many for one week (seven years), but in the middle of the week he will stop the sacrifice and grain offering [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until the complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who causes the horror.”

Daniel 9:27, Amplified Bible

 The remaining 1260 days are then thought to be the time of Great Suffering on earth, during which Israel (represented by the woman in the verse below) will flee to the wilderness and be supernaturally protected by God.

and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1260 days.

Revelations12:6, English Standard Version

This 1260 final day period ends when the antichrist is defeated at the battle of Armageddon upon Jesus’ return to earth. At that time, the tribulation will be at an end. The book of Daniel also mentions a period of 1290 days which many have attempted to explain in different ways.

And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1290 days.

Daniel 12:11, English Standard Version

This period of 1290 days has also manifested in relation with the upcoming Israel election and a previous sign. During the years of 2014 and 2015, there was a series of four blood moons (also called a tetrad) that occurred on Jewish  Feast days which whenever have occurred historically, acted as a bad omen for Israel. These were then confirmed by the occurrence of events that were not in favor of its people around the same time of the tetrads. During the time of the 2014/2015 tetrad, the Iran Nuclear deal was negotiated and signed. The deal was designed to reduce Iran’s ability to produce Uranium and Plutonium which are necessary to make nuclear weapons. In return for verifiably abiding by its commitments, Iran would receive relief from sanctions from the United Nations, European Union and United States. However Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly opposed the deal because according to him, Iran’s nuclear infrastructure would be largely left intact, and would still be able to make a nuclear bomb by cheating on the required inspections. This would put Israel at significant risk  as Iran has always wanted to “wipe the Jewish nation off the map”.

In the US, Canada, and Central and South America where it was visible, the last blood moon in the 2014/2015 tetrad started on the evening of September 27th, 2015 as the Feast of Tabernacles was commencing. The Israel general elections are scheduled for the 9th of April next year. The number of days between the two dates is 1290 days EXACTLY!

It doesn’t end there. The bible often compares the intense suffering of the great tribulation to the pain of a woman in labour or childbirth.

Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3, New International Version

Also God instituted seven feasts in the old testament four of which have been fulfilled by Jesus at his first coming.

• Jesus was crucified  on Passover.
  
• He was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
• He resurrected on the Feast of First Fruits.
• He poured out the Holy Spirit on the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost).
  

Since Jesus fulfilled the first four feasts at his first coming, it seems fitting that he will fulfill the remaining at his second coming. The possible fulfillments are at the following events due to the nature of the associated feasts.

• Jesus may rapture the church at the Feast of Trumpets.
• He would then return to earth with the church after the the tribulation on the Day of Atonement to judge the nations.
• He would launch his 1000 year reign on the Feast of Tabernacles.
  

The Feast of Trumpets was eventually celebrated over a period of two days by the Jews since its start was never certain. The reason for this was that the start of the feast depended on the first sighting of the new moon which is unpredictable (no one knows the day or hour?). Since it took time for news of the Sanhedrin’s (Jewish religious court) announcement of the sighting to travel and observant Jews needed to avoid even accidental work on the festival day, the two-day observance began as a safeguard.

In 2019, the Feast of Trumpets will be on the 30th of September and 1st of October. The average number of days for a full term pregnancy is 280 days or 40 weeks from the last day of the mothers last menstrual period. The announcement about the decision to hold the Israeli general elections on the 9th of April 2019 came on the 24th of December 2018. The number of days between the 24th of December 2018 and the 30th of September 2019 is 280 days or 40 weeks, EXACTLY!

Conclusion

Inspired by the word of the Lord given in 2008 through Wendy Alec, we have established that there is a biblical connection between the 2014/2015 blood moon tetrad and the 2019 Israel election of 1290 days. This Period of 3 and 1/2 years has had an unprecedented amount of signs that have occurred including the Revelation 12 sign which features a woman in labor. Many of these signs have been documented in previous posts on this blog.

We have also established that there are 280 days or 40 weeks between the announcement of the Israeli elections which was made on December 24th and the Feast of Trumpets 2019. This is the same amount of time that a pregnancy takes to reach full term. The signs in the heavens are pointing to the end which is also pictured by a woman in labor, apparently confirming the 2008 prophecy. What exactly is to follow after April 9th is yet to be seen. As always, take these things to the Lord in prayer as we continue to watch and prepare for his return.

Do not despise prophecies,  but test everything; hold fast what is good.
