The following video lays out Israel's present government reality and relates it to a prophecy in Ezekiel 21:27 where God expresses, "I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is: and I will give it to him." (KJV)

The video shares how some rabbi's understand the significance of the three "overturns" as it relates to what has happened within the Israeli government in the past few years and their expectation of the soon coming Messiah accordingly.
The third "overturn" is expected (very likely) March 31st, the day before Passover when God originally took the children of Israel out of Egypt and unto Himself.
I find it interesting that the verse expresses, "and it shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is".
With the anniversary of Haman's attack against Israel, and his subsequent defeat, upon us this coming weekend, it seems some in Israel and amongst Christians have the idea that as a Persia will likely go after Israel again during the same time this year (during Purim), that God will give a victory again.
I don't think so, not this time.
I have been reading through Jeremiah and it is clear that if Israel is not repentant before God and walking before Him according to His ways, that He will let severe, devastating judgment come upon them.
I believe there is a chosen remnant within Israel/Judah who God will always preserve unto Himself as He fulfills His covenant to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But that remnant is not to be equated with the entire nation of Israel as we understand it today.
The scriptures do promise that there will be a gathering of the people of Israel back into the land, and from that point they will not be rooted out of the land again. See Amos 9:14-15. However, I believe Jesus Himself will accomplish this regathering as He sets up His earth-based kingdom after the judgment years. That final regathering did not take place in 1948 as many presume.
During the days of Jeremiah, God removed Israel from His land. One reason was that they did not let the land rest as they were commanded, so God made sure it happened for 70 years.
Israel of today has not let the land rest since they came back. I believe the window of time God will hold them accountable for letting the land rest was for a "Jubilee period of years" (this is not the same count of Jubilees from Adam's creation nor the Jubilee count of years from Adam's rebellion) from the spring of 1974 (when they are to start a year) to the last day of the harvest season in 2023, right before war broke out in Gaza the next day. In 1973 Israel was attacked on Yom Kippur, the day a Jubilee was to be announced for a Jubilee cycle. They were established enough to withstand the onslaught. They were a nation at that time with Jerusalem as their capital. Keep in mind that God's focus on Israel during Jeremiah's time was on Jerusalem itself, and I believe God did not start to hold Israel of today accountable for letting the land rest until after Jerusalem became their capital.
During that Jubilee time window, Israel did not let the land rest. So, they owe God 7 years according to the following:
1974-75 (Start point is the beginning of the year in the spring after the Yom Kippur "announcement" the prior fall time.)1982-831990-911998-992006-072014-152022-23 (After the last day of Israel's harvest season, the 8th day of Tabernacles, the Gaza war began.)
Jacob/Israel was 77 years old when he met Rachel. He worked for 7 years yet got a bride not according to his heart's desire. He received Rachel 7 day later yet had to work 7 more years. After that he raised and gathered select sheep/goats unto Himself in ownership.
Jesus will do the same thing.
Before Jacob met Rachel at 77 years of age, the heavens opened to him and he saw a ladder from heaven to the earth with angels ascending and descending. Jesus told Nathaniel that that ladder ultimately pointed to Him. Who are we in union with as new creations in Christ Jesus? That point in Jacob's life when the heavens were opened before him points to the timing of when we are taken by Jesus' angels.
Israel is 77 now. When we are removed prior to either May 14th per the Gregorian calendar or April 20/21 per the Jewish calendar, Jesus will then "work" for 7 years but the end result is that He will not be obtaining the one according to His heart's foremost desire. Israel will have been removed from the land and so Jesus will be focusing on the nations that were divided at Babel. This group is pictured as Leah, the one who did not see too well yet made a lot of babies. At the end of the first set of 7 years of seal judgments, there will be a rapture of the "fullness of the Gentiles" at that time and you see these folks celebrating in Rev 7:9-10.
Then, after the seal judgments, Jesus will receive His version of Rachel initially in the 144,000. Yet Jesus will still "work" another 7 years during the trumpet and bowl judgements, in part through the return of Moses and Elijah. The chosen remnant of Israel/Judah who respond to the 144,000 and Moses with Elijah will, at the midpoint of those last 7 years of judgment, be hidden away in the wilderness and will have to depend on God for daily manna, as Moses and Elijah are removed from them at that time. Once the 7 years are completed of the second set of judgements, Jesus will then, like what Jacob did, take the first 6 years of His Kingdom to gather His select sheep/goats from around the world and bring them into the land, thus fulfilling Amos 9:14-15.
I believe for the first 7 years of judgment, Islam will dominate the middle east and their Mahdi will be a type/shadow of the true antichrist who will dominate the world during the second set of judgment years. The pattern is fractal.
When did Rachel give birth to her first born child? At the end of Jacob's second set of 7 years. This long awaited birth of Joseph is a picture of Jesus finally coming on the earth to establish His Kingdom.
I believe there is a lot of confusion as folks handle the prophetic scriptures when they do not take into account the above.
I believe Daniel 8 describes a near-future civil war within Islam between the Shia and the Sunni. When Daniel presents that the goat is Greece, it is actually the "sons of Javan". Yes, this ancient group did occupy modern Greece of today but they also extended up into western Turkey. I believe the Islamic nations that go at it in Daniel 8 will be Iran and Turkey (even now the leader of Turkey, Erdegon, is working behind the scenes to unite Sunni nations into a Caliphate). In that chaos their Mahdi will show up and unite them. Jesus, when he raptures those of the nations that belong to Him at the end of seals, will bring about the complete destruction of Islam, and this is when Ezekiel 39 takes place (they will burn weapons for the next 7 years, during the second set of 7 years of trumpet/bowl judgements). Ezekiel 38 describes what will take place in Rev 20:7-10 (they will be riding on horses at that future time after the 1000 year reign of Jesus).
Recall the NDE testimony of the jewish boy from 15 years ago. How long did the IDF hold off the onslaught of invaders?
Recall the "and it shall be no more until He comes whose right it is" in Ezekiel 21:27 at the top of this post.
For what it is worth.
God bless you in your watching for Jesus.
