Push-Pull-Click-Click, Pluck Horns that Quick

Two more Horns await Plucking

Lebanon is now an Iranian-Syrian satellite horn of the coming 10 horns of the Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 Ungodly Islamic Beast Kingdom of the final age of the Gentiles.
Which are the next two horns to be plucked? Take your pick – Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Libya, or Sudan. Daniel 11:40 to 11:45 indicates Egypt will be conquered by the King of the North, after he bypasses Jordan, and I do believe he will eventually be in control of the entire Middle East, with the excerption of Israel in the Negev. I pick Egypt as one of the remaining two to be plucked up by the roots, but the third could be any of the others.
Zechariah 11:1,2 – Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. [2] Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
Daniel 7:8,20,21,24,25 – I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
[20] And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
[21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [24] And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his h
and until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Begin DEBKAfile Analysis Excert
Analysis: Gen. Michel Suleiman’s election as president: One up for Tehran and Damascus
May 25, 2008, 6:32 PM (GMT+02:00)
Michel Suleiman, Lebanese president
The Lebanese army’s chief of staff, Gen. Michel Suleiman, was voted president Sunday, May 25, by 118 deputies to 6 abstentions.
DEBKAfile’s Middle East analysts report: The enormous relief felt by the Lebanese people at finally having a president after 18 months of political turmoil must be dampened for many by the way he attained office.
Gen. Michel Suleiman won the opposition’s support by flatly refusing to obey the orders of his prime minister,
the pro-Western Fouad Siniora, to put down the Hizballah rebellion in the first half of May. But instead of being sacked for insubordination and banished, Suleiman was sworn in as president.
Siniora, who backed the wrong horse, lost his job and appears to be heading for exile and a possible position in the World Bank, according to Washington rumors.
The real winners of this topsy-turvy arrangement, the Syrian and Iranian foreign ministers, Walid Mualem and Manouchehr Mottaki, watched the ceremony in parliament from ringside seats.
Also present was a low-ranking US delegations led by Congressman Nick Rahall, a Democrat from Virginia of Lebanese origin. Two other prominent Western officials there were French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner and the European Union’s Javier Solana.
The occasion marks five disturbing developments for the United States, the West and Israel:
1. The new government about to be formed in Beirut will be headed by majority leader Saad Hariri, who until now led the ruling anti-Syrian coalition.
DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources report that Saad Hariri did not inherit the strong character of his assassinated father, the former prime minister Rafiq Hariri, who was willing to pay the price for ridding Lebanon of Syrian and Iranian influence.
In any case the prime minister’s authority has been pared down by the Doha Accord of May 21, which assigned the Syrian-backed opposition led by Hizballah 11 cabinet seats (compared with the majority factions’ 16) and therefore veto power. The weight of authority has now passed to the president.
2. Hizballah, which the Doha Accord decl ined to disarm, becomes the dom
inant military force in the country. The bases and weapons systems of Lebanon’s army, air force and navy will eventually pass into Hizballah’s hands, in keeping with the Iranian model, whereby
the Revolutionary Guards is the superior military power in the land rather than the army.
This p attern of
a dominant armed force subservient to the clerical establishment rather than the government is one of the dictates of a Shiite regime. To all intents and purposes, the Hizballah five-day coup sets Lebanon on the road to this outcome in Beirut.
3. Lebanon’s non-Shiite communities – Sunni, Druze and Christian – because their factional militias did not stand up to Hizballah, will have to watch the shrinkage of their power and national leverage. An exodus is expected to quickly gain ground.
4. The Tehran-Damascus-Hizballah axis took another leap forward Sunday in Beirut. Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s claim that his peace talks with Syria will eventually contribute to weakening this alliance is clearly without substance.
5. Lebanon under the Suleiman presidency threatens to become the most anti-Israel administration in the Arab world. The new Beirut will find much in common with the Palestinian Hamas and openly reinforce the solid support quietly provided by Hizballah.
