The subduing of the first of three Horns is almost Completed!
Syria and Lebanon Stand United as Daniel’s King of the North!
When the king of the South IDF are induced to attack Lebanon,
Arabs will unite in a vicious Islamic Counterattack against Israel!
Jews will be “left therein” Israel’s borders in a Negev Wilderness,
Until Their Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, Comes to Deliver Them!

I have for more than 35 years believed that the ten horns of Revelation and Daniel were Islamic horns.
For many years I have believed they were Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran.
I see no reason to believe otherwise at this time.
In fact, I am more certain of it now that at any other time.
Daniel 7:24 – 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.
Daniel 11:40,41 – And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be LEFT THEREIN.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Daniel 7:25 – 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 hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Hariri: Lebanon and Syria share united stance against Israel
December 19, 2009
AP and JPost.com staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
The close relationship between Syria and Lebanon strengthens both countries and reinforces the united Arab stance against Israel, which continues to violate Arab rights, Lebanese Prime Minister Sa’ad Hariri said Saturday during a meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
In the meeting, which lasted three hours, the two leaders reportedly discussed advancing strategic ties between the nations in a way that would benefit both their peoples.
Lebanon’s prime minister, who has blamed neighboring Syria for the assassination of his father, visited Damascus Saturday for the first time since the 2005 killing – a trip that a close associate said was extremely difficult for him to make.
The 39-year-old Hariri appealed for relations with Syria based on “clarity and honesty.” He was greeted warmly by Assad upon his arrival at the presidential palace at the start of his two-day visit, and Lebanese media said he would attend a dinner banquet hosted by Assad.
Assad adviser Buthaina Shaaban told reporters their talks were “frank” and “succeeded in overcoming difficulties that marred relations in the past five years.”
“The guarantee to that is the will of both President Assad and Hariri to build a positive and constructive relationship,” she said.
Syria directly dominated Lebanon for nearly 30 years and kept tens of thousands of troops on its soil.
After the killing of Hariri’s father, Rafik, Syria came under intense pressure from its opponents in Lebanon, who staged massive protests, and from the West, forcing it to withdraw its troops from Lebanon.
Syria repeatedly denied involvement in the assassination and a series of other political slayings and bombings that followed, but Hariri and his supporters continued to implicate Syria in the killing. Anti-Syrian parties were swept to power in 2005 elections in Lebanon.
The visit by Hariri was “very difficult on the personal level” and involves “great sacrifice,” said Hariri loyalist and former lawmaker Mustafa Alloush.
“But as prime minister of Lebanon, it is quite normal to have such a visit… It is necessary and there is a need to settle all aspects of the relationship,” Alloush told The Associated Press.
He said the visit did not mean Lebanon had dropped its belief that Syria was responsible for the killing of Rafik Hariri, who also served as prime minister.
“But this matter is up to the international tribunal now; it is no longer a personal issue,” Alloush said.
A UN-backed tribunal has been set up to prosecute the assassins, but no suspects have been charged.
Syria has sought recently to improve its relations with the West, largely through its actions in Lebanon. Assad backed a peace deal between rival political factions in Lebanon that ended sectarian violence in May 2008.
Last year, Syria established formal diplomatic relations with Lebanon and set up an embassy in Lebanon for the first time since the countries’ independence from France in the 1940s.
Syria still maintains influence in Lebanon through its backing of the terrorist group Hizbullah.
Hariri and his pro-Western political allies are in an uneasy power-sharing government with a Hizbullah-led grouping.

Hariri urges ‘real’ ties with Syria
December 20, 2009
Saad al-Hariri, the Lebanese prime minister, has called for a renewal of ties with Syria following a landmark visit to the country.
Speaking at a news conference in Damascus at the end of his two day visit on Sunday, al-Hariri said “we want privileged, sincere and honest relations … it is in the interest of both countries and both peoples”.
Regional commentators, including Hassan Nasrallah, Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief, have welcomed the visit as a significant ice-breaking development.
Relations had been tense between Syria and Lebanon following the 2005 assassination of al-Hariri’s father and former prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri, and the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon that followed.
In the past, al-Hariri has implicated Damascus in his father’s killing in a Beirut bombing in February 2005. He has never had any official contact with al-Assad’s government.
Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to al-Assad, said talks between the two leaders on Saturday were “frank” and “succeeded in overcoming difficulties that marred relations in the past five years”.
“The guarantee to that is the will of both President Assad and Hariri to build a positive and constructive relationship,” she said.
‘Personal beliefs aside’
Al Jazeera’s Rula Amin, reporting from Damascus, said the visit indicates that the political landscape in the region has changed.
“Syria has reasserted itself as a regional indispensible player. And as [al-Hariri] assumed power of Lebanon he said he feels that there is a need to improve relations with Syria and that is why he is here,” she said.
“His personal beliefs on who killed his father are put aside and he is here as a politician.
“For many Lebanese who are shocked by this, they feel that, on
this visit, Saad al-Hariri has been baptised as a politician.
“For many, it’s a disappointment. Other people feel that the stability and security of Lebanon requires and warrants such a visit and by doing so, he is proving to be a good politician.”
The international community has largely pinned the blame for the assassination of al-Hariri’s father on Syria.
Syria pulled its troops and security officials out of Lebanon in April 2005, after thousands of Lebanese held street protests to charge that Damascus had a hand in the killing.
But Damascus has consistently denied involvement in the assassination.
While a UN inquiry has said it has evidence that Syrian and Lebanese intelligence services were linked to the killing, no charges have ever been brought.
Investigation
Earlier this month, a Syrian court asked 25 prominent Lebanese figures, including individuals close to al-Hariri himself, to appear for questioning over the murder.
The Syrian court acted after Jamil Sayyed, the former Lebanese security services director, filed a lawsuit in October regarding his four-year detention without charge over Rafiq al-Hariri’s murder.
The list also included Ashraf Rifi, a former Lebanese police chief and the prosecutor general, Saeed Mirza, as well as several MPs and journalists.
The initiative to improve relations between Lebanon and Syria began in 2008 with an exchange of ambassadors.
Syria opened its first embassy in Lebanon just under a year ago, and Lebanon sent an ambassador to Damascus in March.
It was the two countries’ first diplomatic exchange since gaining independence from France more than 60 years ago.
The Syrian president also welcomed the Lebanese president, Michel Sleiman, to Syria on Friday.
