Iraqis vote for their first full-term government since the US led invasion in 2003 amid tight security and with a high turnout, especially among the Sunni Arabs who boycotted the last election.
Some 15 million Iraqis were eligible to vote and Iraqi President Talabani called the election day a celebration for Iraqi voters who were living a historic moment. There were some 6,655 candidates in 307 political parties and 19 coalitions buying for the new full-term parliament made up of 275 seats: a parliament who will lead this war-torn nation into the future.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The historic landmark vote in Iraq to elect its 275 member national assembly who will lead this war-torn nation into the future is a stage setting event for the End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. The removal of a vicious dictator, Saddam Hussein, from leading Iraq into the future coupled with the iraqi people freely voting for their new leadership is a history making event by anyone's standards.
The world must wait; however, and see how this new Iraqi government will actually come together, especially in light of a constitution that calls for Islam to be the major religion of the land. This historic vote and the desire to rebuild its nation, a part of the body politic of Iraq, is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Iraq, which is the modern-day name for biblical Babylon, must be a major player on the world stage, because the ancient Jewish prophets foretold of a time when the Antichrist, a one-world leader, will be headquartered in Babylon, which is on the shores of the Euphrates River in Iraq. And that leadership taking place in the last 3 1/2 years of the coming Tribulation Period, Jeremiah 50, 51; Isaiah 13,14; Revelation 18, 16:17 and following.
The Iraqi national elections have a historic significance as well as a prophetic significance. These Bible prophecies will be fulfilled.
