At a state ceremony held at Israel's President's residence in Jerusalem, Dalia Rabin, daughter of the slain Israeli leader, said after ten years the lessons of the assassination of her father had not been learned yet. Israel's President Moshe Katsav renewed his message to the nation that political assassination is a phenomenon that can neither be forgotten nor tolerated.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The possibility of another political murder in Israel, ten years after the assassination of the late Yitzhak Rabin, is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled. The assassination of Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabinin in November 1995 marked a sad day in the short history of modern day Israel. The asalent, it has been believed for this last decade, was a part of the right wing element of the body politic of Israel and he remains in prison with no hope for parole.
In recent days because of his controversial decision to disengage the Israeli Defense Force from the Gaza Strip and to dismantle the 21 Jewish settlements there, Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has been under threat of political assassination and has been under tight security. A recent poll indicates another political murder is indeed a possibility.
What this report does is remind us of what the Bible says about human government and God's use of human government, especially in the last days. God established human government according to Genesis 9:6 4,500 years ago and He places those He wants in leadership in their positions of authority, Romans 13:1-2. Bible prophecy reveals that God will use human government, in other words world leaders, to accomplish His will in the End Times scenario that seems to be unfolding even today, Revelation 17:17.
The tenth anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination is a reminder, God is still in charge and Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
