The political landscape in Israel has been turned upside-down with the political earthquake in the Jewish state caused by Prime Minister Sharon. His request to dissolve the Knesset and form a new political party after leaving the Likud party, which he co-founded over 30 years ago, has taken the nation to early elections.
Sharon has named his breakaway political party "Forward" that will include new members from the two main parties, Labor and Likud, plus others from smaller political organizations.

An earthquake on the political landscape of Israel has great significance in a scenario for the last days according to Bible prophecy.
Journalists and students of history have often said that there is never a dull moment in the politics of the Jewish state of Israel. The recent earthquake caused by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon when he announced his resignation from the Likud party and formed a new political party sent shockwaves throughout Israel as well as the Middle East.
The older Sharon has moved towards the center in body politics of Israel from what was a hawkish approach to governing as he moves into the twilight years of his public service.
This shakeup in Israeli politics is a reminder of how human government plays a key role in current events especially those events that move this world into the scenario for the last days that can be found in Bible prophecy. Romans 13 tells us that God puts in power who he wants to be there. Revelation 17:17 reveals that God will use world leaders to accomplish his will in the last days.
