Jerusalem Post ^ | OCTOBER 21, 2019 | GIL HOFFMAN, HAGAY HACOHEN

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned the mandate to form a government to President Reuven Rivlin minutes after the end of the Simhat Torah holiday Monday night.

President Reuven Rivlin received the message from Netanyahu. He will hold consultations with faction representatives and by law has three days to give the mandate to another candidate.

I have always been told that Solomon was a young teenager when he ascended the throne.

Wikipedia says he was “about 15” at that time, but we don’t really know the exact ages of any of the people.

So he could have been 20 or even older or younger.

All we know for sure is that he was almost usurped by his older half brother and that he was eventually eliminated for treasonous behavior...............

Almost all of the heroes of the Bible were flawed (Jesus, and Mary excepted).

Only Christ was sinless.

Mary was as flawed as you or I.

And David repented of his sins and was forgiven by God. David was a man after God’s heart. God loved David. David got on his knees and told God he was sorry for his crimes. God forgave. God will do that for any person who does the same, regardless of the sin. And as Christ told those who brought the woman who was caught in adultery, yee who is without sin, cast the first stone!!

Well except for the murder of Uriah the Hittite.

Done by other means, of course.

Yet David is called a man after God’s own heart. Interesting stuff.

No offense intended, BTW. Just showing that God uses all types of men. Amazing.

How will this change of power affect the Palestinian question?

Will the instability of a minority government delay the outcome?

She bore witness with that when she said, “I rejoice in God my Savior”.

But the most popular song in Syria is now Benny and the IDF Fighter Jets.

I see what you did there.

Maybe his best present is to get rid of the burden placed on his shoulders.

I believe that's all that's standing between him and a criminal indictment.

Methinks Bibi’s betting no one else can form a government either .... so it’s found three for elections.

What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

He was replaced by David, the exact opposite of all those traits.......... for the record, David did commit adultery and murder.

Is that because Bathsheba was not married due to the fact that all women divorced all soldiers going off to war so if the men were never to return or returned years later, the women could marry again? David had foolishly called on God to test him but then failed the test seeing Bathsheba from a window next door.

And if God thought David was too warlike then why did He send him to be champion and military leader to save the Jews time and again? And let Saul send him on apparent suicide missions in which David was still victorious? Warlike for a good reason. But his son Solomon was apparently just right for the new era of the Temple.

“”Sooner or later the enemies surrounding her are going to interpret the government deadlock as weakness and attack.””

With history on the side of Israel? Doesn’t seem likely. They are always prepared and I wouldn’t bet against them.

Then that makes you an unbeliever. My LORD, says in my Bible, that He DOES forgive all those who simply ask, based on Faith, through the Gospel of Grace, and YES, He forgives. The way you spoke, it is clear that you are not a believer in Jesus Christ. If you were, you would KNOW that He DOES FORGIVE!!! I am sorry for you. I can only hope you pick up a Bible, open it to 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, verses 1-4, and read those. They say in the simplest terms the Gospel of Grace.

Then read Ephesians Chapter 2, verses 8 and 9. They both tell you clearly: 8 "For by Grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 Not of works, least anyone should boast."

The Apostle Paul tells us clearly that we shall be judged by his gospel, Paul's gospel, given to him by the LORD Jesus Christ during his three years in the desert, where Christ taught him the Gospel and all the other things He taught him.

Yes, friend, I believe. I believe everything He says to us in His Word. Much I do not fully understand. Much I cannot figure out. BUT, He said it, thus I believe it, because I trust HIM!!! I believe Him. Thus I will be with Him in Heaven one day. It is your turn to now read those verses I revealed to you. It is your time to choose life or death. Your turn. Good luck.
