I have desired to write this article for so many years. But as long as Netanyahu was PM of Israel, I held back writing about this. I did not want to harm Bibi in any way. As a Jewish believer in Yeshua, I have prayed for Bibi for many years.
I knew that he was holding a Bible study in his home. Many people would say that he was only studying the Old Testament. And that may be so. But as Evangelical Christians – the Remnant – we know that the OT points directly to the coming of Yeshua.
Look at Isaiah 53:
“Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
And they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53).
It’s hard NOT to see the description of Yeshua and His crucifixion!
Netanyahu Appoints a Jewish Believer as assistant to head of Social Media:
Did you Know that Netanyahu appointed a Messianic believer, Hananya Naftali, as an assistant minister of social media in Israel? It’s true, and I will show you proof.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new deputy social media adviser Hananya Naftali is a popular Israel advocate online, served in the Armored Corps, fought Hamas in Operation Protective Edge, and calls himself a Jew who loves Jesus.
Naftali was hired by Netanyahu’s social media adviser Topaz Luk, who says he “hired a superstar.” Naftali will assist Luk in running Netanyahu’s social media networks.

Naftali has recently posted videos of himself defending Israel’s policies on the Gaza Strip and criticizing the United Nations and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority. But Naftali’s posts about his religious faith have raised eyebrows.
In one video, he calls himself “a Christian.” In another, he says that both his parents are Jewish, and he denied charges that he converted soldiers in the army, which were raised after he posted in January 2014 that on a weekend in the IDF he “read the Bible and shared Jesus.”
“I am not part of any cult,” he said in the video. “I’m not part of the messianic Judaism denomination.”
Controversy surrounds Netanyahu’s new social media staffer.
“In fact, I am not part of any denomination. I am just a normal guy who made his own decision to follow Jesus.”
Blogs online have posted tweets in which the bloggers said Naftali identified as a messianic Jew, but were since deleted.
Luk described Naftali as “a full Jew on both sides, who respects Christians who love Israel and do so much to strengthen Israel.”
“This is the main thing,” he said.

Luk denied reports that all the social media staff of Netanyahu got their jobs because they were friends with Netanyahu’s son Yair. Luk said he served in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit with Yair Netanyahu, but that neither Naftali nor Jonathan Urich, who handles the prime minister’s personal social media, had ties with Yair.
“Everyone is in his position because of his talents,” he added. source

Israeli PM’s Office Hires Jewish Believer for Social Media
JERUSALEM, Israel – An Israeli believer in Jesus is making headlines here after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office hired him as the new deputy social media advisor for the prime minister, a media report said.
Hananya Naftali is a popular social media figure, advocating on behalf of Israel on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. He has been sharing on social media for several years and has a following of more than 310,000 on Facebook and more than 26,000 on Twitter.
But at least the Jerusalem Post is taking issue with his beliefs. source
PM Netanyahu led Israel for over 13 years. He was well-loved in Israel and also by Evangelical believers worldwide.
My question is this: Did the hiring of Hananya Naftali, a follower of Jesus Christ as his Savior – have a direct effect on Bibi’s loss?
In my articles through the years, I have maintained that Netanyahu would NOT be the leader of Israel who would confirm the treaty with Antichrist. I wrote that I believed this would be a leader from the liberal side of the government of Israel.
Two Exciting things:
All of this news makes me wonder if we are much closer to the end than we have imagined.
Also, I can’t help but wonder if Bibi is a brother in Yeshua!
This possibility gives me much joy. I have loved this man deeply for so many years. And I have prayed for his salvation for those years as well.
Shalom b’Yeshua
MARANATHA!!
