In a larger than expected turnout, 1.5 million Palestinians, eligible voters, went to the polls for the first time in ten years to vote on the new Palestinian parliament in what many world leaders are calling an historic vote for the Palestinian people.
The two big winners in the election of 132 Palestinian parliament members were the Fatah party and the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas, who participated in national elections for leadership of the Palestinian Authority (PA) for the very first time. Unofficial results show that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party survived the challenge by Hamas to take control of the Palestinian legislative body, a result that was being watched very closely by the United Nations, the US, and the European Union.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The historic election of a Palestinian parliament to lead the Palestinian Authority (PA) into the future is evidence that the prophetic scenario for the Palestinian people that is found in Bible prophecy is closer to fulfillment than ever before. The last election held by the PA in Israel was in 1996, some ten years ago, and at a time when the present Palestinian parliament was elected along with Yasser Arafat and his election to be chairman of the PA.
Arafat is gone, Mahmoud Abbas, his right-hand man for over 40 years, is the head of the PA and has watched his own political party, Fatah, lose ground to the rival Hamas political party in the newly elected Palestinian parliament. This report is tangible evidence that the ancient Jewish prophets could predict the End Times.
Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Malachi, and Obadiah all spoke of the descendants of Esau, the Palestinian people of today, that these descendants would come back to power after almost 2,000 years and become a major world player; that's found in Jeremiah 49, Ezekiel 35, Malachi 1, and the book of Obadiah.
These historic Palestinian elections do indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
