I had to look it up myself, and IT IS TRUE 🫣 A guy named Jesus, Son of David (Yeshua Israel Ben-David) is running to be the next Prime Minister in the modern nation state of Israel He has NOT made any claims to be the messiah or the return of Jesus or anything of the sort. However... His party website states that he is "a political leader, social entrepreneur and thinker, founder and chairman of the Gan Eden party and head of its list for the 26th Knesset. He operates from Jerusalem and leads the party's ideological and public path and its programs in the fields of economics, law, governance and peace." He was born in Lithuania in 1988 On September 7, 2026, Ben David appeared at Israel's Central Elections Committee to submit his party's candidates. According to Israeli outlet Ynet, he wore a breastplate-shaped emblem resembling the hoshen, the ceremonial breastplate associated with the biblical high priest. He told reporters he would like to serve as a priest in the Temple. When discussing the possibility of beginning his public service in the Knesset, he said "If I can't, we'll start in the Knesset. That's a Sanhedrin." His party's central economic initiative is called Tochnit HaYovel HaLeumi, the National Jubilee Plan, drawing inspiration from the biblical Jubilee and debt-release traditions. But it's a detailed plan that involves a "sovereign public digital shekel" with mechanisms for a "basic income plan." Reminds me of the alleged prophecies of NESARA/GESARA of an economic Jubilee worldwide to end the debt Jesus, Son of David has studied multiple religious traditions. His party says he has independently studied the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Quran, and other spiritual traditions. He advocates inter religious cooperation and describes Jerusalem as a place where nations, religions, and political leaders could gather for wisdom, justice and peace 🤨 He links political leadership with spiritual responsibility. His writings associate governance with protecting life, pursuing justice, and promoting reconciliation. Jesus, Son of David is attentive to artificial intelligence and automation. His biography specifically describes the economic challenges presented by automation and AI, and argues that technological productivity should benefit society more broadly. Gan Eden originally requested the Hebrew letters י־ה (YH) for their ballot symbol, letters associated with a shortened form of the divine name. The Central Elections Committee declined that selection over concerns that it could offend religious sensibilities. The party was instead approved to use the single Hebrew letter ה (He). As an additional side note, Talia de Rothschild is listed as an approved Candidate for the party. I couldn't find any proof of lineage to the infamous family, but it should be noted. As an established minor party, it's unlikely that Jesus, Son of David is going to get elected, but given the many unanswered questions regarding this man, could such a developmentn be a glimpse into the next level of political gaslighting? Stay watchful ✝️
