France probes alleged local election interference by Israeli company
An Israeli company is accused of interfering in French local elections, stoking tensions between nations and echoing biblical warnings of covert schemes and rising conflicts among peoples.
Psalm 2:1-2
Prophetic Fulfillment“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,”
Why this passage
Psalm 2 is a royal psalm describing the rebellion of earthly rulers against God's anointed king. Its original context was likely the coronation of a Davidic king, but the New Testament applies it to Christ (Acts 4:25-28).
The psalm depicts a pattern of nations conspiring and raging—a pattern that intensifies in the last days.
This article reports an alleged covert operation by an Israeli company to interfere in French elections, which is a concrete instance of nations and private actors 'taking counsel together' against others. While not a direct fulfillment of a specific end-times prophecy, it exemplifies the ongoing rebellion of the nations against God's order, a pattern that will culminate in the final rebellion before Christ's return.
Behold, the nations rage and devise hidden schemes against one another, as the Psalmist wrote: "Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?" (Psalm 2:1). This probe into alleged election meddling by an Israeli company in France reminds us that the spirit of Babel—confusion and division—still stirs among the peoples.
Yet take heart, for the Lord who sits in the heavens laughs at such plots (Psalm 2:4). Our hope is not in the shifting alliances of earthly powers but in the King who will one day break the nations with a rod of iron.
Until that day, we watch and pray, knowing that every scheme is under His sovereign hand.
Today's Prayer
Pray that the Lord would expose all hidden works of darkness and bring peace where nations plot against one another, and that His people would remain steadfast in the hope of Christ's coming kingdom.
Further Scripture
Additional passages that illuminate this event, each grounded in a distinct interpretive lens.
“For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head.”
Why this passage
Obadiah's prophecy against Edom pronounces judgment on nations that exploit and scheme against others, especially God's people. The principle is clear: God holds all nations accountable for their actions, and the measure they use will be measured back to them.
This article involves an Israeli company allegedly interfering in French elections—a covert act that, if proven, would be a form of 'doing' harm to another nation. The principle from Obadiah applies directly: such deeds will not go unpunished, for the Day of the Lord is near upon all nations, not just Israel's enemies.
How it applies
Whether or not the allegations are true, the pattern of nations scheming against one another is a reminder that God sees every hidden deed. The Day of the Lord is near for all nations, and every act of manipulation or interference will be weighed in His scales.
Believers should pray for justice to be done and for the nations to turn from their schemes to the Lord.
