The 5787 Election and the Sign of the Coming of Messiah

“. . . Decades ago, Rabbi Kaduri named a sign that would precede the Messiah and a specific year it would arrive. The sign was elections without a government. The year was 5787, the Hebrew year that began this past September.”

This was just reported by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz of Israel 365 News the day before Israel’s October 27, 2026, parliamentary elections.

I have written previously about Rabbi Kaduri’s predictions and the significance of Israel not being able to form a government, but NO DATE had been revealed until now. Mr. Berkowitz gives the details in his article, Rabbi Kaduri’s signs: Elections without a government, and a redemption this year and poses the question of whether this 2026 election will result in fulfilling this prediction.

What is of utmost interest to Those in Christ is whether this election will result in the fulfillment of this Old Testament prophecy:

Now why dost thou cry out aloud? [is there] no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. – Micah 4:9 KJV

If Micah 4:9 is in play this Hebrew Year of 5787, the pre-Tribulation Rapture of the True Church must occur because this verse is a picture of Israel going into travail or Jacob’s Trouble, also known as The Tribulation, when Israel has no “king”! It is the time of Jacob’s—NOT the Church’s—Trouble.

Alas! for that day [is] great, so that none [is] like it: it [is] even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. – Jeremiah 30:7 KJV

On March 4, 2020, Israel 365 News posted Netanyahu Wins Election After Rabbi Predicts He will be Israel’s Last Prime Minister before Messiah:

. . . Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri, one of the most influential Sephardic spiritual leaders of the century who passed away in 2006 at the age of 106, met with Netanyahu in 1997 during his first term as prime minister. Rabbi Kaduri whispered a long message into the politician’s ear. Rabbi Shmuel Shmueli, a follower of Rabbi Kaduri, revealed that Kaduri had always maintained that Netanyahu would serve a very long time and after his term in office, the Messiah would arrive. Before his death, Kaduri had said that he expected the Jewish Messiah, to arrive soon and that he had met him a year earlier.

When Kaduri prophesied to Netanyahu in 1997 that he would serve a very long time and after his term in office the Messiah would arrive, I am wondering if the Rabbi (who many report came to believe on Jesus Christ the year before Kaduri’s death in 2006) could have been referring to the True Messiah Jesus Christ’s Second Coming (which is in Two Parts). IF this Hebrew Year of 5787 fulfills Micah 4:9, the Rabbi’s words may potentially come true.

Netanyahu was born October 21, 1949, very soon after the rebirth of his nation Israel in 1948. At age 77 the current Prime Minister may be the perfect prophetic illustration of the Fig Tree Generation soon to enter Jacob’s Trouble.

Rapture Rendezvous Revealed in the Scriptures? is where I summarized the predictions related to Micah 4:9 and where I shared this thought:

Netanyahu made a recent cancer announcement. Thankfully it was caught early and surgically resolved, but it brings to mind the mortality of man. No one knows when a leader might die—whether Netanyahu is re-elected or Bennett. This is another possibility for why Israel might not have a “king” in 2026 and therefore fulfill Micah 4:9.

What Happens if No Government is Formed?

The official results of Israel’s elections will be confirmed on 4 November. Under Israel’s electoral law, the deadline for forming a government after a parliamentary election is set by the Prime Minister’s Office and the Central Elections Committee, but it is tied to the official election date and a fixed number of days for coalition negotiations.

For the 27 October 2026 election, if no government is formed after the coalition talks conclude, the standard legal deadline would be 3 November 2026 (seven days after the election date). However, in practice, the Prime Minister’s Office can extend this for up to 21 days in extraordinary circumstances, as seen in past crises. So the maximum extension could be 17 November 2026.^Source

5787--The Year of the Great Catch?

This is NOT to say the Rapture will occur in 2026. On the contrary, it is my opinion that the birth of the Revelation 12 Man Child (a.k.a. The Bride of Christ) will spring forth after the 2026-2027 winter season (to understand my thinking go to the Long, Dark Winter Prophecies section of RAPTURE after a LONG, DARK WINTER?).

“Winter is Coming”—Snow and the Rapture

Game of Throne fans are familiar with the ominous “Winter is coming” statement. This coming winter may seem menacing in the natural because of the chaos erupting globally, but it will be Satan who will be fearfully apprehensive if this is the season of the Great Shaking to Awaken because torrents of life-giving glory and power will come forth from Heaven (as I’ve shared in Year of The Shining One Anointing).

On November 11, 2020, I posted this:

Not long ago some of the saints reported having prophetic dreams of the Rapture occurring when there is snow on the ground. Many had also dreamt that the Rapture would occur at Halloween. As I have sought the Lord about these dreams, it comes to me that perhaps He is showing His Bride that in a time of great evil being poured out (as at Halloween), He will pour out His pure and powerful Spirit (snow) upon the earth--Heaven thus meeting Earth--in an attempt to save as many individuals as possible, then He will quickly rescue us.

For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts,

neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. - Isaiah 55:8-11 KJV

So I believe the snow storm dreams are similar to if not synonymous with the tsunami dreams as far as indicating a great move of God which will quickly be followed by the Rapture. [excerpts from The End Game, Snow, and the Rapture]

Fred Watkins, Unknown Prophet YTC, posted WINTER IS COMING! Be Prepared For The "Weeks And Months Ahead!" sharing a vision he was given of snow and wind:

“. . . The falling snow was simply another symbol of the reign of My spirit. . . This is an indication of that which has just begun to fall and will continue to fall in the weeks and months ahead.”

In 2020 I was hopeful for our Lord coming for us that winter. IF this Hebrew Year of 5787 is the start of the Great Shaking to Awaken when Israel has “no king”, we could be looking at a very possible 2027 Catching Away after a “long, dark winter”!

In sailing, a snow, snaw or snauw is a square-rigged vessel with two masts, complemented by a snow- or trysail-mast stepped immediately abaft (behind) the main mast. Wikipedia

We will crush Satan under our feet and we will see the Final Battle of the Church Age leading up to the Rapture! Whatever season of whatever year He comes, prophetically snow (the pure Word of God and the Spirit of the Lord) will be how we will maneuver the days ahead and then be suddenly swept up to Heaven.
