Bibi and the Shaking of Israel
October 7, 2023, will not leave Benjamin Netanyahu untouched. Even within Israel, Jews are asking: “How did this happen under his watch?” Security collapsed, 1,200 lives were lost, women and children slaughtered, Christians blocked from worship.
Charlie Kirk put into writing what so many were already asking: Why was security breached? Why were Christians blocked from worship on Easter? Why does accountability vanish when Israel stumbles? He became the voice of the questions that hung heavy in the hearts of many.
Now, many nations are against Israel. Real antisemites side openly with Hamas. But Israel’s own government cannot escape exposure. And when corruption is uncovered, leaders fall.
Bibi may not be the one to see the Third Temple rise. His grip loosens. His era may end in scandal, collapse, or rejection from within.
Will Bibi Be Brought Down?
I am not saying, “He will be removed for sure.” I am not prophesying. I am simply watching the patterns and weighing what is already in motion.
From Scripture: God never allows corrupt shepherds in Israel to stand forever. Jeremiah and Ezekiel thundered against leaders who misled the people, and God removed them in judgment. Exposure always comes.
From prophecy: Daniel 9:27 shows that Antichrist will confirm a covenant with Israel. That means someone — whether Bibi or a successor — will stand in leadership when that moment comes. If Bibi resists the Temple or collapses under scandal, he may not be the one.
From politics: even within Israel, Bibi’s popularity has cracked since October 7. Protests swell. His corruption trials linger. Allies grow weary. Israeli politics is a revolving door; leaders rise and fall in a heartbeat.
Put all this together, and the possibility is very real: Bibi may be brought down. Maybe by scandal. Maybe by rejection from his own people. Maybe by the hand of God.
But whether he stands or falls, the shaking will not stop. Israel’s reckoning is bigger than one man. The covenant with Antichrist will come. The Temple will rise. The refining will burn. And only when Christ Himself returns will the shaking end.
Trump and the Vacuum in America
Donald Trump turned 79 in June 2025. He will be 81 in June 2027 — the same age Richard Nixon died.
Whether by death, health, or divine removal, if Trump suddenly leaves the scene, America will be thrown into chaos. His absence would unchain lawlessness already pressing at the gates:
- Illegal immigration flowing without restraint.
- Riots and unrest surging again.
- Deep political fractures tearing wider.
- Europe following the same path into weakness and upheaval.
Paul’s words resound:
“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.” (2 Thessalonians 2:7)
When restraint is lifted, the stage is set for the man of lawlessness.
Watchman’s Note: Nixon and Trump
On April 22, 1994, I was in Israel when a siren blared and a megaphone announced: “Former U.S. President Richard Nixon has died.” He was 81. I didn’t know why it mattered in Israel, but I never forgot it.
Now, Trump approaches the same age — 81 in June 2027 — in the midst of global shaking with Israel and Iran. I don’t claim dates, but I cannot unsee the pattern. When leaders fall, lawlessness surges. And that is when Antichrist rises.
The Window of Chaos
I believe we are entering a window of grace — an eight-year span beginning in 2025. Beyond that grace, Scripture points toward a seven-year Tribulation. The pattern is written already:
- Matthew 24’s fig tree generation — “this generation will not pass.” Israel was reborn in 1948, and we are living inside that countdown.
- Revelation’s seven-year Tribulation — a final global testing before Christ returns.
- The 15-year prophetic arc many have discerned: eight years of grace (2025–2033), then seven years of wrath (2033–2040).
- The “restrainer” of 2 Thessalonians 2:7 — even world leaders can be used by God to delay lawlessness until the appointed time.
This is not prophecy. I do not claim dates. I am not speaking “Thus saith the Lord.”
It is a watchman’s warning.
And here is what makes this moment alarming: none of us could have guessed the form these events would take.
- Who would have thought that Israel’s own leader, Netanyahu, would be questioned not only by Christians abroad but by Jews in Israel itself, after the horror of October 7?
- Who would have guessed that a young voice like Charlie Kirk would dare to confront Bibi in writing about security failures and Easter worship — and that his sudden death would explode the questions across the Christian world?
- Who would have imagined we would be hearing concrete talk of a Third Temple — red heifers prepared, priesthood trained, Sanhedrin stirring — while the Dome still sits in place?
- Who would have predicted that Donald Trump would return to office in 2025, bookending this very grace window, his term ending in 2029 — a hinge moment in restraint and release?
No one could have drawn this picture beforehand. And yet here it is, exactly in line with the pattern: 8 years of mercy, then 7 years of wrath.
If Bibi falls, if Trump is removed, if lawlessness erupts — then we are in the threshold. We may be watching the ground prepared for Antichrist to emerge.
The Third Temple and the Antichrist
Scripture tells us plainly: a Third Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem.
- Daniel 9:27 — Antichrist confirms a seven-year covenant, then desecrates the Temple.
- Matthew 24:15 — Jesus warns of the “abomination of desolation” standing in the holy place.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:4 — the man of lawlessness sets himself in God’s Temple, proclaiming to be God.
- Revelation 11:1–2 — John is told:
“Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.”
This is not just a curious detail. It’s a picture of a divided Temple Mount in the last days.
Some prophecy teachers assume the Dome of the Rock must be destroyed before the Temple is built. But Revelation 11:2 hints something else — that the inner sanctuary could be built for Jewish worship while the outer court remains under Gentile control.
In other words, the Jewish Temple and the Muslim Dome could stand side by side on the Mount during the first half of the Tribulation.
That arrangement would fit perfectly with a “peace agreement” brokered by Antichrist — a deal that allows sacrifices to resume but leaves part of the Mount under Gentile administration.
Then, midway through the seven years, Antichrist breaks the covenant, enters the Temple himself, stops sacrifices, and sets up the “abomination of desolation.”
This rebuilt Temple will not be God’s dwelling. It will be man’s idol, Israel’s deception, and Antichrist’s throne. When you hear that the Third Temple is being built, know the Antichrist is already in the picture.
The True Temple: Christ Alone
Against every false temple stands Jesus Christ.
- “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” (John 2:19)
- “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” (1 Corinthians 3:16)
- “I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” (Revelation 21:22)
The Third Temple will be desecrated, but the True Temple cannot be destroyed. Christ is the indestructible Temple, the eternal dwelling of God with His people.
Christians Are Waking Up — But Don’t Be Deceived
Charlie Kirk’s death didn’t create the questions; it exposed them. It became a mirror for a much larger awakening. Real Christians will never support Hamas or the ideology of Islam. But many will now shy away from Israel because they do not understand the end-time picture.
This is why we must speak plainly.
Don’t focus on one man’s death.
Don’t be seduced by the false narrative of “Israel bad, Hamas good.”
Don’t be lulled into thinking neutrality is safety.
Look at what Scripture says: two-thirds of Israel refined by fire, nations gathering against her, Antichrist desecrating the Temple, Christ returning to rescue the remnant.
If you see Bibi’s fall, the Third Temple rising, and alliances forming against Israel, know what you’re watching. You are not just reading headlines. You are seeing the near end time.
