Will Enoch's prophecy of the 70 "shepherds" of Israel culminate with Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu?
Enoch's prophecy of 70 "shepherds" of Israel - The 35 bad kings "of the sheepfold" before 586 B.C.
In a vision, Enoch (who lived 669 years before Noah's Flood) saw that there would be 70 shepherds of Israel: "And He called seventy shepherds, and cast those sheep to them that they might pasture them,..." (1 Enoch 89:59-61) He saw the first group of 35 shepherds as unique from the other ones to come which represented the first 35 bad kings of Israel and Judah ("of the sheepfold") before 586 B.C. when Jerusalem was destroyed on the 9th of Av and then carried away in captivity by the Babylonians: "And I saw till that in this manner thirty-five shepherds undertook the pasturing (of the sheep),..." (1 Enoch 90:1-2) The vision shows him that all 70 "shepherds" including these 35 will go to hell: "...And those seventy shepherds were judged and found guilty, and they were cast into that fiery abyss..." (1 Enoch 90:20-27)

Enoch was obviously referring to the bad kings in this early group, otherwise why would he say that David and Solomon were condemned to hell? Notice that out of 42 kings Enoch saw only 7 good ones or, perhaps, did not see them at all. The vision may have only shown him the 35 bad ones, leaving out the other seven.

Enoch's prophecy of 70 "shepherds" of Israel - The 23 puppet rulers of Israel NOT of the "sheepfold" propped up by foreign powers (539 B.C. - 70 A.D.)
After the vision of the 35 "shepherds" Enoch then saw 23 foreign ones ruling over Israel until the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., effectively all but ending the Herodian dynasty and bringing the total to 58: "And I saw until that twenty-three had undertaken the pasturing and completed in their several periods fifty-eight times." (1 Enoch 90:5)
Persian (Post-Exilic) Period: 539 B.C. to 332 B.C. - (Cyrus the Great - Persia)
Hellenistic Period: 332 B.C. to 167 B.C. - (Alexander the Great - Macedonia and Greece)
Ptolemaic Period: 305 B.C. to 198 B.C. - (Ptolemy - Egypt)
Seleucid Period: 198 B.C. to 167 B.C. - (Antiochus Epiphanes - Persia and Syria)
Roman Era: 63 B.C. to 135 A.D. - (Herod Dynasty to 70 A.D. - Proxy of Rome)
There were many more than 23 rulers who, collectively, ruled over Israel during this time period. However, some were probably good, like Cyrus and Alexander, while some were just much worse than others and considered outright evil in many cases such as Antiochus IV Epiphanes (who sacrificed a pig on the Temple alter and set up the "abomination of desolation"), Nero and Hadrian. The vision he received may have simply shown Enoch the worst of the worst.

Enoch's prophecy of 70 "shepherds" of Israel - The final 12 "kings" after Israel's 1948 inception as a nation once more
Finally, after the vision of the rulers which totalled 58, Enoch foresaw that 12 more "shepherds" would arise to govern over Israel. Sadly, however, Enoch says that this final group of 12 will do more damage spiritually than all the other 58 knotheads before them: "And I saw that man, who wrote the book according to the command of the Lord, till he opened that book concerning the destruction which those twelve last shepherds had wrought, and showed that they had destroyed much more than their predecessors,..." (1 Enoch 90:19)
The 12 Prime Ministers of Israel since 1948
1. David Ben Gurion - Lawyer
2. Moshe Sharett - Lawyer
3. Levi Eshkol - Finance Minister
4. Golda Meir - Embraced Socialist Zionism
5. Yitzhak Rabin - Politician, officially recognised the PLO, signed the Oslo Accords
6. Menachem Begin - Graduated from law school but never practised
7. Yitzhak Shamir - Studied Law
8. Shimon Peres - Finance Minister
9. Ehud Barak - Implemented the first Oslo Accords
10. Ariel Sharon - Orchestrated Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip
11. Ehud Olmert - Lawyer
12. Benjamin Netanyahu - Supports the two-state solution with the condition of recognition of Israel's "right to exist"
All these leaders have made unforgivable concessions to Israel's sworn enemies since its inception in 1948 and worst of all, have lain with the biggest harlot of all time, Babylon...the U.S. of America. This prophecy appears to be dead on with respect to end time events and closely parallels the prediction of St. Malachy about the final 112 Popes...the present 111th one being nearly 86 years old at the time of this writing and in bad health. If Netanyahu gets re-elected on January 22, 2013 and Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) abdicates the papacy soon or dies, the coming of the Messiah could be right around the corner. The predecessors spoken of in this prophecy are the shepherds who come before the emergence of someone Enoch refers to as "the Lord of the Sheep"...I wonder who THAT could be?!
BREAKING NEWS! The Pope has announced his resignation to be effective as of February 28, 2013!
