I don't put stock in Jewish mysticism, but thought this was kind of interesting (and timely - along with 70 nation animal sacrifice on Mt of Olives this Friday)

Multiple Jewish Sources Point to Israel’s Election Impasse as the Gateway to Messiah

In June, Breaking Israel News published an article citing a 40-year-old prediction byRabbi Yitzchak Kaduri, the most famous Kabbalist (mystic) in Israel until his death in 2006. According to an eyewitness, Rabbi Kaduri predicted that the Messiah will be revealed following an election stalemate in Israel. At a small gathering, Rabbi Kadur was asked when the Moshiach (Messiah) will come. He answered, ‘When there will be elections but there will not be a government’.”

...

“On the eve of the fifth cycle of a thousand years, the year 5780 is a year of fixing. There will be no government in Israel for an extended period and the different camps will fight and argue a great deal without any conclusion in this way or the other. Then, on Rosh Hashanna (the Jewish New Year which will be this Sunday evening) the side of holiness will battle the side of darkness in heaven until God himself and his Hosts will decide the issue.”

“And this is all I can say about this issue,” Rabbi Kaduri wrote.” I have been sworn to not reveal any more secrets.”
