Today,against all odds, Bibi Netanyahu
and his Likud party pulled off a stunning electoral victory in Israel. I
say "against all odds" because it had been widely and confidently
predicted by the pollsters that his era was over: the left wing Zionists
were going to trounce him. But, lo today, he will be Israel's longest
serving prime minister.
Not only is his triumph in defiance of
the polls, it is also in defiance of the European Union and the Obama
administration in the United States. Bibi has thumbed his nose at the
concept of a two state solution with the Palestinians, has promised to
accelerate new housing projects in East Jerusalem and has put Iran on
notice that there will be no nuclear bomb produced by them on his watch.
This has further isolated Israel from
the rest of the 'international community' and left this tiny country
with virtually no friends: no friends, that is, except God and the
evangelical church community around the world.
In the end that coalition will be
sufficient for, when the battle of Armageddon begins, (read about it in 2
Thessalonians 2) that little nation will once again come out on top.
It pays to be called "the chosen people"
