For Such a Time as This
On Monday, March 2nd, Israel is voted for the 3rd time in the past year. This time
however, the turnout seemed somewhat smaller. Even the people sitting
outside representing their respective candidate were very few in number. Yet
there was still an excitement in the air about wanting to vote Benjamin
Netanyahu in again.
In Israel he is known as Bebe for short. One lady and her husband, an older couple
mind you, were pulling up to park and had their music blaring, horn honking,
and the woman in the passenger seat was dancing and shouting “Bebe! Bebe! Bebe!”
The people obviously are tired of it, but at the
same time the majority of the people still want Netanyahu. According to the media it was the largest turnout since 1999. Out of the top
2 contenders he was the only pick, and for now I believe God still wants him in
office. Besides, it is for such a time as this. But why is that?
Purim follows a week later on March 9. If you are not familiar with this minor holiday then you need to be because there are some prophetic things that are a paradigm shift to the book of Esther. I will also add the books of Nehemiah and Ezra as well.
For example, in 2015 the day before Purim Netanyahu spoke before congress. I liken him to Mordechai exhorting Esther. It was like he was quoting chapter 4:14, For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” In the very next election America received her queen that loves Israel.
In a Lobe Log article, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared that he believes it is “possible” that President Trump was sent by God to protect the Jewish people from Iranians. Pompeo’s remarks came during an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, after he was asked if “President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from an Iranian menace.” In likening Trump to Esther, Pompeo added that he was “confident that the Lord is at work here.”
I noticed something interesting that I never caught before, there is a correlation between the book of Esther and the book of Ezra. Esther takes place in the walled city of Shushan, located in Persia. Cyrus was the king of Persia during the time of Daniel (Daniel 1:21; 6:28; 10:1). Not only were both of them in Persia but they also were the vessels God used to help the Jewish people. Esther saved them from being annihilated and Cyrus brought them back to Jerusalem.
Two years into his term, President Trump moved the embassy to its rightful place in the capital of Jerusalem on Israel's 70th birthday.
On May, 14, 2018 the U.S. embassy moved to Jerusalem, 70 years after the founding of Israel, resurrected as the Jewish state, in May, 1948. Seventy years is a completed lifetime, as the Psalmist states: "The years of our life are seventy years". Seventy years in Jewish outlook is an historical time unit, representing a significant chapter in human history. Seventy years after the first Temple was burned by the Babylonian Nebuchadnezzar and the Jews were driven into Exile, the exile ended and many returned to Israel and rebuilt Jerusalem. Seventy years signifies completion and full circle.*
According to the book of Ezra the next thing to happen is for the 3rd temple to be constructed. They have almost everything in place but the location. The red heifer exist, the clothing and musical instruments exist, they have started doing sacrifices, and the money still pores in helping to fund its very existence.
Please pray for both President Trump and Netanyahu as they appear to be used as the vessels for these end time days. Pray for Israel she is wayward and yet things must happen and come into play before the return of Yeshua (Jesus).
Until next time...
