SPEAK NO EVIL!

Some of the Knesset
politicians have become as Isaiah classified Israelâ
€™s relationship with the Lord before the Assyrian invasion, warning them not to trust in Egypt to deliver them, and as Jeremiah described them prior to the Babylonian invasion. Once again Israel is facing enemies from the descendents of the Assyrians and Babylonians, and her leaders are in the same confusion as before the two great captivities of Israel. In the days of Isaiah and Jeremiah, the people
depended on the messages delivered by the priests and prophets to lead them as they were led by the God of Israel. But the prophets lied to them, and the priests were bearing rule because the people had made them rich, and they ruled by their riches (means). I hope that Israel heeds these verses in Isaiah and Jeremiah.
I strongly suspect her so-called friends of today, in a manner similar to what Isaiah said Egypt’s strength would do for Israel when Assyria attacked from the north, will do virtually the same thing.
Isaiah 30:7-13 – For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. [8] Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: [9] That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: [10] Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: [11] Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. [12] Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: [13] Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
Jeremiah 5:27-31 – As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. [28] They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
[29] Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? [30] A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; [31] The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end
thereof?
Those who read my blogs and prophecy updates know that I have from the beginning been quite clear that Benjamin Netanyahu is the best man to lead Israel. There seems to be no middle ground – One either loves him or hates him. There is no such thing as a perfect leader, with the exception of the Lord, and I am persuaded his Messiah will arrive on the scene before too much longer. In the meanwhile I can think of no better man than Bibi to lead Israel. He is far from perfect, just like the rest of us, but he loves Israel, makes decisive decisions, will not back down to diplomatic pressure unless he believes it is in the interest of the people of Israel to do so, will stand up to United States pressure, and trusts in the power of the people of Israel to defeat the enemy, rather than a modern day Egypt or America. I love his understanding of the best way to deal with the Palestinians.
I have never believed the West possesses that understanding. To fanatical Islam the characteristics of compassion, compromise, mercy, and forgiveness are signs that their enemies are weak, and they are only exercising these traits because they cannot defeat their enemies. I have lived among them.
Based on my prophetic understanding of what Israel is about to pass through over the next several years, if the Lord wills, my hope is that when the real test comes for them, Bibi will be the Prime Minister of Israel and the Likud Party will the party he leads. Israel needs a strong leader and party in place.
The following article from Bibi’s blog speaks for itself.
SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL

The Knesset has thick walls. They protect it from the scorching sun and the heavy winter rains but they are unable to protect it from the storm whaling outside amongst the public.
This storm has risen from all parts of our nation: right and left, secular and religious, immigrants and veteran Israelis, north, south and center. What the people are saying is simple: You failed, take responsibility and quit.
Members of the government are trying to shield themselves from this storm. They have forgotten that they are not only public representatives but also public servants. They would rather not listen to the people’s cry. See no evil, hear no evil… The people are saying go home and they ignore their call.
They try and raise strange arguments in their defense despite the fact that the Winograd report exposed something we all knew: the government has failed to perform its task. The people are calling out as never before in the history of Israel.
Never before has there been such a colossal collapse in the government’s public legitimacy.
And what does the government do facing this harsh critique? It sits tight, turns its head sideways and says: we will fix the flaws.
You will fix the flaws?! Where were you in the nine months since the war ended? We need to wait for Winograd to know that you have done nothing?! You failed to activate an emergency wartime plan, and why? After all, you had plenty of money – but even after the war you did nothing.
You will fix the flaws?! You didn’t fix them so far and you will not fix them in the future because you are not the solution, you are the problem. The fundamental defect is in a failed government that didn’t know how to make the right decisions in real-time, whose take on reality was completely wrong, and whose ability to manage a war was pitiful.
Because the entire population understands that this government is unable to fix anything, it needs another line of reasoning.
“We have a majority in the Knesset,” they say. That is, We don’t have real answers to criticism, we don’t have a real solution for what needs fixing. What they are saying is this: We have a majority in this house. You’re out there, citizens of Israel, beyond the Knesset walls, shout as much as you want, be afraid of another round that our failed leadership could lead to. It won’t help, because we have a majority in the Knesset.
The real meaning of the government’s position is: We have a majority, so we don’t care about the people.
A failure, an earthquake like this has only one solution: leaving it up to the voter.
Why? Because the only real solution for irresponsibility is to take responsibility, and leave the mandate to the voters. All the members of the government elected from now on – from the prime minister and until the last
minister – will know that they, too, have to appeal to the voters if they want to take responsibility for this failure.
Right now, politics are overtaking the people’s will, but not for long.
The Knesset today doesn’t consider the public storm taking place outside: the growing disillusionment with their elected representatives, the lack of faith, the crisis of values, the leadership crisis – but at the end of the day, the public will decide.
Word games and political tactics won’t help. All these are swept aside by the simple truth arising from the strength of the citizens’ voices. Our people aren’t stupid. They also don’t like it when their intelligence is belittled, and they will take action.
Because the moral and democratic command is one and the same: There is no authority without responsibility.
Period. You failed, take responsibility, appeal to the people.
