Daniel 2:44,45 – And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. [45] Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the
beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Luke 21:26-28 – Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers
of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Daniel 7:13,14 – I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. [14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

When I was in high school I had six good buddies that played football, basketball, and baseball together through high school. Charlie Martin’s Mom used to let us get together in her basement and play five card stud. Professional poker players would grit their teeth today if they knew we played the game with two jokers and one-eyed jacks wild. This changes the game to a crazy affair and maize of confusion where the player with the least skill has a good chance of winning. We played what they called nickel poker. I only mention this because this is the closest thing I could think of to compare with what is going on in Lebanon.
Hariri has changed his mind and is now back in Lebanon once again trying to form a new Lebanese government. I do think he may finally be able to form a government under the 15-10-5 formula.
But the result of it with two jokers and two one-eyed jacks wild will be a crazy affair and a wild maize of confusion.
The 15-10-5 structure grants the majority 15 ministers, the opposition 10 and President Michel Sleiman gets five seats in Cabinet, guaranteeing him the deciding votes.
Both the majority and the opposition are respectively denied absolute majority or veto power.
Opposition parties – as well Democratic Gathering bloc leader MP Walid Jumblatt – expressed their commitment to the 15-10-5 formula following Hariri’s resignation.
Following a meeting with a delegation of Amal Movement MPs, Jumblatt said on Tuesday that forming a cabinet as soon as possible serves the interests of all political parties, particularly “the resistance,” a reference to Hizbullah.
Begin Excerpt from The Australian via World News
Saad Hariri walks away from governing
John Lyons, Middle East correspondent
September 21, 2009
Article from: The Australian
THEY were eight ominous words for the majority of Lebanese voters. But while the international media focused on every ambiguous word uttered by Israeli and Palestinian officials about possible peace talks, a huge story drifted by – Lebanon ceased to have a government.
One of the most important and volatile countries in the Middle East lost its best chance for stability – newly elected Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
“I have abandoned trying to form a government,” were his ominous words.
Political violence is unavoidable in Lebanon. During the campaign for the June election, two leading politicians, Saad Hariri and Hezbollah chief Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, made few public appearances. Both are prime targets for assassinations.
After walking away from trying to form a government a week ago, Hariri fled to the safety of Saudi Arabia, where he had spent much of the campaign.
His father, Rafik, died from a massive car bomb as he drove along the waterfront of Beirut in 2005.
It has never been proved who did it, but Saad Hariri has no intention of letting them inflict a second tragedy on his family.
His rival Nasrallah refused to show his face in public, preferring to release video messages from one of his many bunkers under the streets of Beirut.
Hariri returned to Beirut on Thursday to announce he would try one more time to form a government.
It seems for the moment he has stared down Hezbollah by walking away and believes he may still have a chance.
The election in June went as peacefully as a Lebanese voter could hope. A significant majority chose Hariri’s coalition, aligned to pro-Western forces including the US and Saudi Arabia, over Hezbollah’s coalition aligned to Iran and Syria.
It was a courageous effort by the Lebanese. Hezbollah does not always observe niceties when dealing with its enemies.
But the election was merely round one. The real battle was always going to be Hariri confronting the powerful Nasrallah.
Unless he took on Nasrallah with the fresh mandate of an election victory – and won – Hariri would be unable to govern.
He not only had to challenge Nasrallah but wind back Hezbollah’s power.
Since May last year Hezbollah has in effect been running Lebanon as a result of a deal brokered in Doha, which gave Hezbollah a “blocking veto” over major parliamentary decisions.
In return for Hezbollah pulling its fighters off the streets of Beirut after several days of mayhem in May, and avoiding another civil war, Hezbollah was guaranteed that if it could muster one third of the votes in the parliament it could stop any legislation. Given that Hezbollah and its allies have well over one third, it entrenched Hezbollah as the real power.
Hariri was determined that if he were to hold the position of prime minister he would actually run the country. He decided that the last thing he should do is sit in the office as Nasrallah’s puppet.
So from the day he won the June election, Hariri set about taking on Hezbollah. Despite choreographed pictures of him with Nasrallah, he wanted to reduce Hezbollah’s presence in cabinet and bring Hezbollah’s substantial weapons supply from the mountains of southern Lebanon into the government’s control. Analysts in Lebanon agree that Hezbollah’s firepower far outweighs that of the Lebanese army – a situation Hariri knows is untenable long term.
Given the government of Lebanon and its people face the consequences from Israel of Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel, Hariri wanted to make sure he was in control.
The first issue he tackled was to wind back Hezbollah’s influence in cabinet.
But there were two more difficult problems over which Nasrallah’s self-named “camp of resistance” would not give ground easily – control over Beirut airport and control over its weapons.
Control of the airport means it can bring weapons into Lebanon, usually from Iran, while as a “resistance movement” weapons are its mainstay.
Hariri could not get past Hezbollah’s demands about what cabinet posts it had to begin on the other two issues.
As Hariri said when he walked away: “After a final round of negotiations, it became clear to me that some, with their impossible demands, are in no way going to allow the proposed cabinet lineup to pass.”
Hariri had no need to spell out who the “some” were.
The Middle East has many problems – among them the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the conflict between Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas, the growing rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran and hostilities between Egypt and Hezbollah. And that’s before the most dangerous of all – a possible war between Israel and Iran over Iran’s ambition to become a nuclear power.
The last thing the region needs right now is to have nobody governing Lebanon. After walking away, Saad Hariri has returned from Saudi Arabia to the jungle of Lebanese politics. If he cannot form a government this time, the people of Lebanon, who have suffered so much bloodshed, will need to brace themselves for more of the unknown.
