Israel’s 36th Government

Sunday night, June 13, 2021, Israel began the 36th government in 73 years. As this was happening, I was in a service in Webster, TX at Praise Chapel with special guest speaker Apostle Tim Sheets. What was happening in Israel was not on my mind because I was captivated with the message of the hour that Apostle Sheets brought forth.

One thing he shared was that he was awakened from sound sleep with someone saying “Naftali”. He awoke and his wife was asleep so he thought he was just hearing things. This was repeated 2 more times and then he realized his angel was bringing him a message. He got up and began to search the scriptures for Naftali and found some amazing things. I will not repeat word for word what he shared since you are able to back and watch that message on FaceBook or Praise Chapel website replays on http://www.PraiseChapelHouston.com.

What I want to share is that this message got me on alert. In 2009 I taught the Tribes of Israel study series in several cities and with my Bible Study group. We all started out with empty 3 ring binders, which ended up being very full after the series.

I will get to what this new government and what if find the Tribes teaching reveal, but first I want to share what the numbers are speaking. In the Hebraic, every letter is a number, a sound and a symbol. Also, in Hebrew there is no word for coincidence – everything means something.

The number 36 in the Hebraic is a combination of 2 letters: LAMED – number 30, symbol of a staff and meaning to go forward, to prod. VAV – number 6, symbol of a peg and meaning make secure, joining together, becoming bound. Together they complete what I see is the intention for Israel to form a government after 4 failed elections in the past 2 years. They have not been able to go forward (lamed) with a completed government and make secure (vav) the nation of Israel until last Sunday night when “NAFTALI Bennet” was sworn is as the 13th Prime Minister of Israel. This replaced the 12th PM that served the last 12 years, “BENJAMIN Netanyahu” (15 yrs total, 12 consecutive).

12 is a prime number of government. In E.W. Bullinger’s classic book, Number is Scripture he wrote about number 12. “It is a perfect number, signifying perfection in government, or of governmental perfection.” He shares how many things that “rule” are found with 12, such as the Sun rules the day, the Moon and stars govern the night. There are 12 constellations that complete the great circle in the heavens and share the story of Jesus first Coming to his Second Coming. In the Bible we find 12 Patriarchs, 12 Tribes, 12 Disciples. The 36th government is like a 3-fold government, or 3rd-Day completion. There is so much about numbers in Scripture that there was an entire book of the Torah named Numbers! I will let you meditate on that as I get to the Tribes.

Looking at the Tribes of Benjamin and Naphtali. What I want to bring out is when I noticed yesterday that the 12th and 13th Prime Ministers names began with names of a Tribe I began to get very excited.

Benjamin was the 12th son of Jacob and 2nd son of Rachel. This Tribe was almost entirely wiped out because of homosexuality. Benjamin Netanyahu never heralded the LBGTQ agenda, but he never spoke out publicly from his leadership of God’s covenant nation’s government leader regarding the homosexual agenda in Israel. During his time Tel Aviv became the #1 gay friendly city in the world, with Berlin Germany coming in 2nd.

Today, the Tribe of Benjamin could represent the Church. This was the only son born out of the bondage to Laban and the only son born in the Promised Land. Jacob called him, “Son of my right hand’, and the Church is seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph 1:20). His strengths were he was loved by God, protected, abundant grace, mighty warriors came from his lineage (King Saul, Paul the Apostle, Esther and Mordecai). But the Tribe was almost wiped out in Judges 19 and 20, chapters I have labeled in my Bible being ‘the worst story every’. But God! This tribe became might warriors.

The symbol of the Tribe of Benjamin is ‘wolf’. In the Forgotten Books of Eden, each of the sons of Israel on their deathbed brought forth last words to their sons. One of the things that caught my eye was in Chapter 3, verse 25, Benjamin states, “And I shall no longer be called a ravening wolf on account of your ravages, but a worker of the Lord distributing food to then that work what is good.” Benjamin was very prophetic looking forward to the ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The 12 years that Benjamin Netanyahu was Prime Minister, the nation thrived and grew. There were many struggles, but he was a great friend of the Church at large, but did not stand strong with the Messianic Jews in Israel. His main government support came from ultra Orthodox parties in Israel.

Naftali (Naphtali Gen 30:8) was the 6th son of Jacob and 2nd son of Rachel’s handmaiden Bilhah. His name means “wrestlings”, for Rachel said, ““With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed.” The tribal symbol of Naphtali was “a hind”, which is fitting for him. In the Forgotten Books of Eden he is called ‘the Runner’. One of the characteristics of a hind, which is a female red deer, is they have no gall bladder. There is no ‘gall of bitterness’ in the hind and that was made known in the history of this Tribe. Great intercessors came from this tribe because they carried no bitterness.

Great leaders that come from the tribe of Naphtali are Barak (Judges 4-5) and Hiram (I Kings 7:13-14). Barak was known for working with Deborah and did not have a problem with women in authority, which is a good thing because the Israel Knesset has the highest number of women in the 36th Israeli government. (Hopefully these women are not going to be like the US Squad ladies.) Hiram is very interesting because Solomon highlighted him for the work of the Temple, “he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.” Naftali Bennett too has been skilled with wisdom and understanding. He sold his startup company in 1999 for $245 million dollars and went to become the Chief of Staff for Benjamin Netanyahu for 7 years before starting his own party in 2008.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is the only Prime Minister ever to wear a kippah, the Jewish round hat that stays on his bald head. It is said that he is the most religious leader since the Temple. He is an Orthodox Jew and believes in the God of Israel. His party is the smallest ever with only 7 members of the Lapid party in the government, which is a miracle that they were able to win. This new Knesset also has the first ever Israeli Arab party in the government, which causes great concern to many that the nation could become divided.

I don’t know what this 36th government will do, but I will be watching and praying for God’s covenant Land and His covenant people. Genesis 12 promises that those who bless the generations of Abraham will be blessed. And I am definitely going to go back into the study of the Tribe of Naphtali.

In these Last of the Last Days, things hidden in the books of the Old Testament are repeating itself now. (Ecc 1:9) From the time of Ahab and Jezebel, there is only one of their dynasty to remain. Queen Athaliah. Jehu was the one who was able to take her down, we will see what Israel does in the days to come.

Tu B’Shevat – New Year of the Trees

Tu B’Shevat is a Hebrew word that means the 15th day of the month of Shevat. This year that falls on January 28, 2021. What a beautiful full Moon!! This on the Hebrew calendar is the New Year of the Trees.  This day marks the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle. Leviticus 19:23-25 lay out instructions of how to keep the tree uncircumcised (too young to bear fruit) for the first 3 years, fruit given to priests in the 4th year and on the 5th year and then they can harvest the fruit.

2018 and 2019 saw SUPER BLOOD MOONS on Tu B’Shevat, both years! The astronomers call the ‘triple’ super moons a “Grand Coincidence”, but they were not ever looking at the spiritual significance. This was like a ‘giant stop sign in the heavens’, a sign to the Church to understand the times we are living in right now.

2021 will see FOUR Super-moons in a row!!! March 28 (Nisan 15 – PASSOVER), April 27 (Iyar 15 -2ND PASSOVER), May 26 (Sivan 15) and June 24 (Tammuz 14). None of them fit into the spotlight of New Year of the Trees. But since there are 4 super-moons in a row, this is a “GRAND Grand Coincidence”. What is the Hebrew word for ‘coincidence’? There is none. In Jewish thinking, everything means something.

Since the Super Blue Blood Moon of 2018, I have seen more signs in the heavens. Keep looking up – God has signs in the heavens for the Last Days that we are living in right now!

This is the last Tu B’Shevat before the Shemittah Year begins September 7, 2021 and ends September 26, 2022. This is the Sabbatical Rest for the Land and there will be no working of the ground that entire year. The word Shemittah means “release”.

Leviticus 25:1-7 give instruction for this Sabbath Rest for the land. Verse 2 reads, ” “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to the LORD.”

The Shemittah of 2008 stands out in history. Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has taught much on the Mystery of the Shemittah**. One statement stands out to me, “Sign of the Shemittah means the nation is under judgment”. That year there was a financial implosion on Elul 29, the date marking the beginning of the Shemittah year. That day in 2008 marks the worst stock market loss in history, a plunge of 777.67.

I will be writing more about the Shemittah later as God gives me revelation. But I am convinced that 2021 will mirror 2008 in many ways!! Both were marked with National Judgment.

**(2017) New chapters added! The best-selling author of The Harbinger presents a fascinating look at the Sabbath year mandated by the Torah—and its prophetic significance for us today. Learn what the “pattern of sevens” reveals about world events including the Great Depression; the attacks on September 11, 2001; the stock market crash of 2015; and more.

“LEBANON”

This morning in the shower Holy Spirit spoke one word, “Lebanon”. Tonight, at sundown, on the Hebraic Calendar begins the Fast Day of the 4th Month, Tammuz 17. This is the anniversary of the Golden Calf incident when Moses came off the mountain after 40 Days. This began a series of horrific incidents that would happen on this day throughout history.

On Tammuz 17 in the year 2006, Lebanon and Israel went to war after Hezbollah kidnapped 2 Israeli soldiers. My husband and I were in an annual World Ministry Fellowship Convocation in Dallas listening to Dr. Hilton Sutton teach on End Times. Someone came in and shouted, “We need to stop and pray for Israel. They just went to war with Lebanon.” That began was is now called the “2006 Lebanon War”.

Who won the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War? - Quora

Chuck Pierce prophesied January 29, 2006, “watch Lebanon. I will bring conflict into Lebanon, because it is the boundary that I will deal with this year concerning My promised land of Israel. The warlike tribes of Lebanon will once again arise. But in the end, I will win this war, and the riches that have been withheld from My Kingdom plan will be released.” The prophet’s word came to pass within 6 months.

Because of the word this morning in the shower, I have dropped previous plans and now this afternoon I am getting updates on Lebanon. AlJazeera had many articles on Lebanon today, none were pretty. “Plotting our escape-Lebanon braces for a new emigration wave.” “Lebanon’s Economy – The political elite, the Central Bank and the banking sector are arguing over who has bankrupted the state.” CNN shared “Lebanon Crisis – dumpster diving, blackouts and suicide.” BBC News shared “Maids dumped outside Beirut Embassy”, they are now homeless because the embassy cannot afford to feed or pay them for their service. “Lebanon Protests as Currency Dives.”

News Lebanon shared today, “A Lebanese businessman who has been accused of financing Hezbollah has returned home – after three years in a United States jail. Kassim Tajideen had been sentenced to five years in prison but was released due to poor health, and the risk of contracting COVID-19 in prison.” He was financing Hezbollah in the US!!

Hezbollah, or so-called ‘The Party of God‘, is a Shia Islamic group of terrorists based in Lebanon is primarily funded by Iran. In an October 2018 report from Israel National News, “Security Minister reveals Lebanese terror group’s arsenal has grown to 150,000 missiles and rockets, says Iraq could join assault on Israel.” That was almost 2 years ago!!!

As I continue to watch and pray over what is happening, I am asking you to pray for the Lebanon Border during this 3-week Season of Dire Straits. Lebanon is right now a hot bed of hate and desperation.

Hebrew Pregnant Year – 5779

Tuesday February 5 at sundown begins the 12th month on the Hebrew calendar, which is the month of Adar. But this month is different because it is a Leap Year and they will have 2 months of Adar, the first being Adar A (Adar 1) and the second being called Adar B (Adar 2).

It is called a Pregnant year because it has 13 months instead of 12. What is interesting about the Hebrew year 5779 is that the number 9 in Hebrew is a pictograph of a WOMB or a serpent. I find it amazing that this pregnant year is called a year of birthing by several prophets.

The months are counted in the Spring of the year because God told Moses and Aaron in Exodus 12:2, ““This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” Six months later the number of the year changes so they actually have 2 New Years – one that counts the months and one that counts the years. (Actually have 4 New Years on the Hebrew calendar)

The Hebrew calendar is Lunar and Solar so it has an extra month put in 7 times in 19 years. The Gregorian calendar is Solar so it adds 1 day extra every 4 years.

What is interesting is the Presidential elections align with the leap year on the Gregorian calendar.

Since President Clinton won the election there has been a leap year on BOTH Hebrew and Gregorian calendars the election that a New President is voted into office.

  • 1992- Bill Clinton
  • 2000 – George W Bush
  • 2008 – Barak Obama
  • 2016 – Donald Trump
  • 2020 – Presidential election leap year on only the Gregorian calendar
  • 2024 – Presidential election leap year on both Hebrew and Gregorian calendars

President Trump has been prophesied to win re-election. Is this a sign? Watch and Pray.

 

Super Wolf Blood Moon of 2019 – Pt 2

First of all, God does not change. Genesis 1:14, And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years”. Signs in Hebrew is ‘owth’ and means sign, signal, distinguishing mark, omen, warning, token. Psalms 8:3 tells us, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and stars, which You have ordained..”. There are several scriptures of God’s original intent for the Sun, Moon and Stars and none of them have to do with your horoscope. Luke 21:25 is a good example of when Jesus began to talk about signs of His Second Coming, “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars..” Signs in the heavens were some of the first signs of His Coming.

Second, they are sign posts of something coming. When you leave on a journey with a specific destination, you may not see one sign of your destination, but the closer you get, the bigger they are an the closer together they are stationed. That is what is happening now, the signs in the heavens are getting bigger and closer together. Ten years ago people did not notice an eclipse, and now they are talking about it on every news source.

Third, God gives warnings about dividing His land. Joel 3:2b, ‘and I will enter into judgment with them there, whom they have scattered among the nations: they have also divided up My land.” Also see Genesis 15:18-21; 17:7-8; Amos 9:15; Lev 25:23, Deut 1:8 and remember that God watches over His word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12)

Blood Moons Over United States connected with Dividing God’s Land

  • July 16, 2000: President Clinton, Ehud Barak and Yassar Arafat were meeting at Camp David to give away 9% of the land on the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip to the PLO & deciding about who rules the Temple Mount.
  • August 28, 2007: Headlines that day- Israel PM Olmert offers Temple Mount Sovereignty to the Palestinians at Camp David. Olmert and Abbas meet to discuss dividing Israel’s land and Jerusalem at Camp David.
    • The Temple Mount’s sovereignty was a central theme during both lunar eclipses, “Blood Moons” over the United States in 2000 and 2007.
  • What is the ancient Hebrew word for coincidence? THERE IS NONE! Rabbis say everything means something.

This past week in Israel, news broke out of President Trump’s “DEAL OF THE CENTURY”, or the proposed Peace Agreement drawn up by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

  • US President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century,” expected to be rolled out after the elections on April 9, 2019, will include a Palestinian state on 85-90% of the West Bank and the division of Jerusalem, according to a Channel 13 News report. (Jerusalem Post)
    • NOTE: April 9 is Nisan 4, just as the New Year of the Sacred Calendar begins (Exodus 12:1-2). This election promises to be ugly and they have entered into the height of the election during the days that they are to be cleaning out all the leaven. Lord have mercy and open their eyes to the timing of Yahweh!
    • NOTE: April 19 is the ‘Day of Infamy in America”, also Good Friday, also begins Passover. Talk about an alignment! I will have a complete blog on this next week.
  • Regarding Jerusalem, the report stated that the city would be divided, with west Jerusalem and some areas of east Jerusalem the capital of Israel, and east Jerusalem – including most of the Arab neighborhoods – the capital of a Palestinian state.
  • Bill Koenig of Watch.org: Trump’s “deal of the century” parameters were leaked this week. It will call for a divided Jerusalem, a Palestinian state on 85-90% of West Bank. Israel would be able to annex existing communities in Judea and Samaria and keep sovereignty over the Holy sites in the Old City of Jerusalem.

My conclusion from this is God is giving the United States a HUUUUGE heavenly warning, “DO NOT DIVIDE MY LAND!!!” Giant STOP LIGHT in the sky!

This Super Blood Wolf Moon takes place on the 2nd anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration, January 20, 2017 at 11:00am EST. What is the Hebrew word for coincidence, “THERE IS NONE!”

God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:3 still stands and will never change. God promised, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you;
and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Bless means to ’empower to prosper’ and curse basically means ‘make smaller’. President Trump can handle dealing with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but no one can come against God and win.

It will not be the current shutdown or border crisis that destroys this nation. It will be the fact that our nation was raised by God to bring the gospel to the nations and to be a blessing to Israel. Bill Koenig’s book of Eye to Eye give report after report of what has happened in America 24-48 hours after pressuring Israel to give up the land. If this incredibly Deal of the Century goes through, I pray that God has mercy upon us.

Justify Wins Kentucky Derby

I seriously am not interested in sports and horse racing, but it seems that God gives signs in to many ways when we are in prophetic times. I watch and pray and God shows me things as I ponder them. NOTE: Jesus never told us to speculate, so I watch, look for something that really stands out and pray. Yesterday was one of those days that caught me by surprise. I was tired and went to lay down in the bedroom, but I thought I would see what was on television. It was the Kentucky Derby and I was quickened in my spirit. I knew God had something to show me in that race.

I posted in 2015 when American Pharaoh won the Triple Crown what God was showing me so you can click on this link and it will show you some historical things about the Triple Crown and prophetic happenings in Israel.  https://mbostrom2.com/2015/06/16/triple-crown-winner-american-pharaoh/

Here are some of the things I observed yesterday:

  • It was the 144th Kentucky Derby – 12 is the number of governmental perfection and 12×12=144. 144 stands out to me because of the 144,000 Jews that will be sealed. 12,000 from each tribe
  • The colors of the horse were Red, like the Blood of Jesus
  • The number was 7 – the number of spiritual perfection
  • Justify broke a 136 year “Curse of Apollo”.  It was said that no horse could win the Kentucky Derby that did not race as a 2-year old horse. In 1882 Apollo won, a feat that has remained unmatched throughout these many years.
  • The jockey, Mike Smith age 52, was the 2nd oldest jockey to win. When he won he gave all honor to Jesus. “I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing us on this afternoon, and blessing us with this amazing horse.” That is huge and bold!
  • Justify’s trainer is Bob Baffert who was also American Pharaoh’s trainer 3 years ago when American Pharaoh won the Triple Crown in 2015.
    • American Pharaoh was the only horse ever to win the Triple Crown and the Breeders Cup. Just interesting!

I will be watching the next 2 races! This one caught me off guard, but now I am on alert, Watching and Praying.

  • Kentucky Derby – 5/5/18
  • Preakness Stakes – 5/19/18
  • Belmont Stakes – 6/9/18  (my father’s birthday- he loved to watch the horse championship races)
    • This will be the 150th Belmont Stakes
    • Belmont Stakes is called the “test of champions” since it is such a long track.
    • This track is 1.5 miles long and open to 3-yr-old horses.
    • In 1973, the 105th Belmont Stakes, Secretariat won by 31 lengths, which remains a record

 

Israel at 70

Israel celebrated their 70th Year of Independence April 18-20 with 70 hours of celebration. The opening ceremony from Mt Hertzl was outstanding! Again, I feel I need to explain that this anniversary falls on May 14, 2018. In 1948 the Hebraic calendar had a leap year with 13 months, so Iyar 5 and May 14 were the same day. However, this year there is no leap year on either calendar so the celebrations are almost a full month apart. There will be celebrations on May 14 and there will be a parade of nations who will be coming to celebrate. This is also the date that the United States is expected  to officially move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

As I pondered this great event, I remembered being in the USSR in May 1991 after they had 70 years of communism. That was the year of “release” from the oppression started with Lenin and the Bolsheviks in 1917.

The number 70 is a great turning point in history. If you remember, it was at this point that Cyrus proclaimed it was time for the Jews to return to their land and rebuild the Temple. (2 Chronicles 36:22-23; Ezra 1:1; Jeremiah 25:12; 29:10) Is it time for the Third Temple? I am not jumping to a conclusion of what this 70th milestone means, but it is something to watch!

I hope you will gain understanding of what a significant period we are living in right now. We are “brought into the Kingdom for such a time as this” and it is a time to be on high alert, on the wall, watching and praying.
