A HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR!

It is now apparent to both the Lebanese government and military forces that Hizbullah will use economic, political, and military action to take over Lebanon. Its primary goal is to turn Lebanon into what would be a literal Irani an
satellite, which would complete a military link through Syria and Iraq to Iran. Even the Lebanese army is waking up to what Nasrallah is planning to carry out.
The wake-up began in February when a convoy of trucks from Syria with multiple weapons for the army of Hizbullah was intercepted by the Lebanese army, as reported in the Jerusalem Post Article, which follows our introduction.
Lebanese Army now knows Syrian Weapons may be used on them!
Nasrallah confident of eventually overthrowing Lebanese Government!
For ages the Lebanese Army has let Iranian and Syrian weapons slip through to Hizbullah without the slightest bit of interference.
However, since Hizbullah is now trying to overthrow the Lebanese government, the issue has become a horse of a different color. Last week Lebanese soldiers discovered a convoy of trucks coming from Syria with multiple weapons for Hizbollah.
In the past they would have let them pass on to Hizbullah in southern Lebanon, but Hizbullah is now creating riots to overthrow the Lebanese government, so they confiscated the weaponry, and Hizbullah has been howling like an Irish banshee all week.

‘Hizbullah has the right to secretly transfer Arms’

Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said Friday that the terror organization “had the right to secretly transfer arms in order to hide them from the Israeli enemy.”
Nasrallah said in yet another televised speech that he would not forgive Lebanon for confiscating one of the group’
s trucks last week which was carrying weapons to the group.
Speaking at an event commemorating the death of Abbas Musawi, Nasrallah’s predecessor, he admitted that “Hizbullah has many types of weapons,” and that he is “ready to give the Lebanese army weapons if needed.”
He would not forgive anyone who confiscated even one bullet, he added, referring to the government.
Hizbullah, he said, had been willing to join forces with the Lebanese army during the latest clashes between the army and the IDF on the northern border.
“In Maroun al-Ras we were ready to join and assist the officers and soldiers of the Lebanese army. If another conflict breaks out, our weapons, our blood and our youth will stand with Lebanon’s army,” he insisted.
He vowed to continue the opposition campaign to force Prime Minister Fuad Saniora to share power or step down.
Nasrallah said he was confident of eventual triumph, claiming the group had the resources for it.
“No one should imagine that the opposition’s coffers have emptied,” he said. “If the (demands) are not met, the opposition will continue its actions by means which it finds appropriate.”
The Western support which has sustained the government will not last long, the black-turbaned Shiite cleric also said. “The opposition will achieve its goal and will triumph sooner or later.”

As I have pointed out in several previous Blogs and Prophecy Updates in our Archives, Lebanon is likely to be one of the three horns in Daniel 7 subdued by the Syrian Little Horn.
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.

Robert Fisk: Lebanon will be first victim of Iran crisis

How easily the sparks from the American-Israeli fire fall across the Middle East.
Every threat, every intransigence uttered in Washington and Tehran now burns a little bit more of Lebanon. It is not by chance that the UN forces in the south of the country now face growing suspicion among the Shia Muslims who live there. It is no coincidence that Israel thunders that the Hizbollah are now more powerful than they were before last year’s July war. It is not an accident that Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbollah’s leader, says he has brought more missiles into Lebanon.
Why, the Lebanese ask, did President Bashar al-Assad of Syria visit President Ahmadinejad of Iran last weekend
? To further seal their “brotherly” relations? Or to plan a new war with Israel in Lebanon
?
The images of Iran’s new missile launches during three days of military manoeuvres – apparently long-range rockets which could be fired at US warships in the Gulf – were splashed across the Beirut papers yesterday morning, along with Washington’s latest threats of air strikes against Iran’s military. Be certain that the Lebanese will be
the first to suffer.
For the West, the crisis in Lebanon – where Hizbollah and its allies are still demanding the resignation of Fouad Siniora’s government – is getting more serious by the hour. Up to 20,000 UN troops – including Nato battalions of Spanish, French and Italian forces – are now billeted across the hillsides of southern Lebanon, in the very battleground upon which the Israelis and the Hizbollah are threatening to fight each other again.
If Israel is America’s proxy (which the Lebanese don’t doubt), then Hizbollah is Iran’s proxy. The more the United States and Israel warn Iran of its supposed nuclear ambitions, the more Hizbollah increases the pressure on Lebanon.

Hizbullah now has sufficient military hardware to fight another conflict with Israel and the trucks are still rolling out of Syria with all sorts of new goodies for their arsenal of death.

We have the arms to defend Lebanon’
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST

Hizbullah “has enough weapons to defend Lebanon against Israeli aggression,” Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah’s political advisor Hussein Halil said Monday to the London based Asharq Alawsat newspaper.
Halil said that his organization also “firmly opposes the supervision at the Syrian-Lebanese border” (In place as part of UNSC 1701 to prevent arms smuggling).
He added that the weapons would never be used in a civil war in Lebanon since Hizbullah firmly opposes it.
During the interview, Halil also emphasized that the Hizbullah were willing to put down their arms if a majority of Lebanon’s citizens were to demand they do so via a direct referendum.
He said that Nasrallah was “willing to conduct a referendum about anything… even about [our] political intentions.”
The interview follows the UK’s The Guardian interview last Wednesday, in which Sheikh Naim Kassem, Hizbullah’s deputy secretary general, said that “we are prepared for the possibility of another adventure or the demand of American policy that might push the IDF in that direction.”
