The Netanyahu Prophecy

Robert Mawire and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Arabs are coming to Christ because of dreams they are having.  God is bringing them to the knowledge of Christ, so is it that hard to believe that God might speak to the Jewish Prime Minister?  I believe it is not only possible but very likely that God would speak to the man who leads His Chosen People.

Benjamin Netanyahu became the youngest person to achieve the post of Prime Minister in June of 1996.  During his first term, he visited the United States.  While in Dallas a Christian African minister named Robert Mawire met a man who introduced him to Netanyahu.  The Prime Minister agreed to give Robert a minute for the prophetic word that Robert said he had for him.  Netanyahu joked to Robert, "Have you not read in the Bible that we stone our prophets?"

Robert was undeterred and told the Prime Minister, "I have placed you in this position, says the LORD.  Do not give up my land.  If you do give up my land, I will remove you from this position."

Netanyahu laughed and didn't take it seriously.  Later President Bill Clinton pressured Netanyahu to give up some land to PLO leader, Yasser Arafat.  It was soon after that when Benjamin Netanyahu's government collapsed and he lost his seat as Prime Minister.

Years later ex-Prime Minister Netanyahu was at a Florida gathering of supporters for Israel.  The same African minister tried to meet him saying, "I have another word.  I have to speak to him again."  Netanyahu meets with Robert and remembers him.  This time Netanyahu takes Robert seriously.

"You will once again become Prime Minister of Israel.  If you honor His covenant that He made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding Israel, he will honor you and exalt you.  But if you disregard His covenant and give away His land, he will dishonor you.  Be strong and of good courage, for unto this people you shall divide an inheritance, the land that I swore to their fathers that I would give them.  Do not ever negotiate land for peace...God is not done with you.  You will be Prime Minister again in a critical time of history."

It was at about this time that Barak Obama became president of the United States and Benjamin Netanyahu became Prime Minister.  Obama pressured Netanyahu to give up land, but he refused.  Netanyahu would not give up any land because God had told him not to.   Obama despised Netanyahu and even tried to get him removed from power.  It looked like Benjamin Netanyahu was going to lose the re-election but miraculously he won and retained office.

When Robert had given the prophecy at the second meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he said, "This is what it is all about." and pulled out a picture of the temple of Jerusalem and held it up.

"You will be the Prime Minister for the restoration of the tabernacle of David."

Is this story true?  From my research (I am a skeptic at heart) I have found it to be very true.  Is this a word from God?  I believe so.  He also gave a similar prophecy to Ariel Sharon telling him he would become Prime Minister in 6 months.   Ariel Sharon was also told that if he gave land away God would strike him. At the time it looked like Sharon would be on trial for war crimes and his political career was over.  Six months later he was Prime Minister but he gave away land for peace. A few short months after removing Jews from settlements in the Gaza, Ariel Sharon had a minor stroke.  He was scheduled for an operation but the day before it he had a major stroke and went into a coma.  Eight years later he died, never having come out of his coma.

So what does this all mean?  If Benjamin Netanyahu is to be Prime Minister of Israel for the restoration of the tabernacle of David, it must not be far in the future.  The Tabernacle of David was where the Ark of the Covenant was kept in Jerusalem while the Temple was built.  Could it be long before the sacrifices start up?  Can the Temple be built soon?  What about the Temple Mount and the mosque on it?  Let's talk about that tomorrow.
