Australia has returned its hard left government to power. The prime minister lied well over 100 times during the election campaign, lies about the opposition, about their own policies, and so forth and, yet, Australians overwhelmingly chose him over any other. This is very telling, and absolutely damning! From my own perspective, although I did expect this result, I was not prepared for the magnitude of the result.
Albanese has tacitly supported Hamas because he never actually clearly supported Israeli people by open and clear condemnation of the actions of Hamas without some form of consolation for the terrorists or their supporters. Every time he made mention of the subject, always due to public pressure, he would bring in the subject of so-called "Islamophobia". This he appears to have done to maintain some level of political support from Muslims who are a growing large minority and a concomitantly growing threat in this nation, with numerous Islamic leaders in the nation openly declaring their hatred for Jews and their desire to see them all killed, openly declaring a curse on Israel. With them, many, if not the majority, of left leaning and all hard leftist Australians have also condemned, thus cursed, Israel. Albanese has sacrificed the safety of Australians for political expediency because of his personal lust for power and wealth and his belief in delusional leftist ideology. In effect, then, Albanese (and by proxy, Australia) has cursed Israel.
We know what the Lord God told Abraham, that those who bless him will be blessed and those who curse him will be cursed by God, and we know that it applies to Abraham's true descendants, those intended by God and who also have Abraham's faith. Then, combined with the now long-standing extreme laws allowing child sacrifice (i.e. abortion) in Australia and the fact that government has now instituted laws prohibiting prayer to God, thus government has now attempted to literally take the place of God, and there are many other evils that government has done and it was all only possible because the people want it that way, then there is no recourse left but to give this nation the government it deserves as judgment against it. That is just... unfortunate, but just.
Topher Field has published a very good video on the issue of government as God in Australia, and it is well worth watching because it is strongly relevant to the circumstances faced by all Christians throughout the world in this time of the great falling away:

The next few years are going to bring out into the open all that is evil in this nation, all that stands opposed to God, to Christ, in other words, all that is and all who are antichrist. Simultaneously, it will bring into the open all who are with Christ. The darkness grows darker but the light grows brighter and the division between the two will become unmistakable but, as the Lord said, when He comes, will He find faith on earth?
For me, it is a glaring sign of the soon appearing of the son of perdition and of the two witnesses. It is also a clear sign that the great war is almost at the door... not because a tiny population such as Australia has turned against God but because this is a global trend, the separation of the darnel and the wheat, making it clear to the harvesting angels, when they come, which are the trash to be taken out of the world, a world which will, at that time, become the kingdom of God and of His Christ, in accord with Revelation chapter 11.
Rev 11:14-15 ASV The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly. (15) And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.
As in the parable of the wheat and the weeds. the harvesters first remove the weeds and bundle them together to be burned, and only after that will they gather the wheat into His barn (where the wedding feast takes place).
The signs of the end are everywhere. Those who have been pretending it is not so really cannot ignore them any longer. My current expectation is that the remaining years of this decade are going to be the most tumultuous years in all of human history. I could be wrong, of course, and the time could be further away, or it could be even closer, but no matter what the case may be, we must prepare ourselves to face a hostile enemy expressing himself through the corrupt "authorities" of this evil generation, this fallen world, just as the early apostles did. We must trust God as never before, and place little or no faith in man.
