JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - Lying comatose in the hospital in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was absent from the political arena, but his presence was felt on Israel’s election day. The entire political landscape changed in Israel with Ariel Sharon, one of the founders of the Likud political party, resigning from the leadership of his party and forming an altogether new political party.

Ehud Olmert, the winner in Israel’s national election, said in his victory speech that the election marked a new chapter in Israel’s history and that he planned to draw the country’s final borders unilaterally if need be in the coming years.

Olmert said Israel will move to set the final borders of the state of Israel, a Jewish state with a Jewish majority, and in setting these borders there will be many Jewish settlements that will be destroyed, a move that the Jewish settlers oppose and a unilateral move that the Palestinians and the Arab world reject.

Political pundents say that the recent Israeli national election was actually a referendum on the Jewish settlements since the political party with the most elected members of the Knesset, the Kadima Party, ran on a platform of disengagement from the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

To give away land that God has given the Jewish people and say it marks a new chapter in Israel's history is in contradiction of Bible prophecy for the Last Days on this issue.

Many students of Bible prophecy have questioned why the leadership of Israel, the Jewish state, would even consider giving away land that the Lord gave to the Jewish people. It's a tough question to answer, but there is no question about the ultimate end of the land, the land that one day will be in the hands of the Jewish people, that is according to Bible prophecy.

Human government is an institution set in place by the Lord Himself some 4,500 years ago and recorded in Genesis 9:6. God uses human government to lead this world towards his plan for mankind; that's Revelation 17:17. The ancient Jewish prophet, Ezekiel wrote that God would bring the Jewish people into a land, a land of their forefathers. Ezekiel also said that the land would prosper under Jewish leadership; both of these promises in Ezekiel's prophecy found in chapter 36. Ezekiel 35 reveals that the Edomites, the people of Mount Seir, or the Palestinian people of today, would try and take the land that God had given the Jewish people.

An Israeli election that brings to power a leader who wants to give away the land of Israel is stage setting for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
