"and this will be his current term which also according to Wikipedia can only last until 2018, based on a 5 year maximum term limit." - Bygrace96
If our (wished for) timeline is a 2013 rapture, this would certainly fit into that. That would get Israel through most of the tribulation then toward the end - they would probably throw any re-elections out the window.
I agree with Donna, if Netanyahu isn't saved yet, it's very possible he will be before the Lord arrives. If his term is successful up to 2018 and IF the tribulation begins in 2014 as some of these dates and signs suggest..that means Bibi will SEE and hear the two witnesses before his term is up during the first 3 years of the Trib.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
Just something more to think about. The rapture must be close. Even today. How exciting is all of this...Praise our AWESOME God.
