Lebanon Headed for Civil War?

Sporadic clashes continued between the rival neighborhoods in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Wednesday. At least six people were killed and more than 70 injured in clashes between the two sides on Monday, according to the Lebanese state-run news agency.

The Bab al-Tabbaneh district is populated by Sunnis, while the neighboring district of Jabal Mohsen is populated mostly by followers of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

The situation in neighboring Syria is said to be at the heart of the clashes. President Bashar Assad is a member of Syria’s Alawite minority, while rebels fighting his regime are predominantly Sunnis.

Monday saw some of the most serious fighting in Lebanon in several months, with at least 10 Lebanese soldiers among those wounded in the clashes.

With the fighting intensifying in Syria it is becoming more difficult for the Lebanese government to prevent it from spilling over the border. Over the past 30 years, Syria and more recently Iran have been the dominant powers in Lebanon.

That is about to change dramatically!

Bible prophecy indicates that Lebanon will not long be in the Iranian orbit and will instead enter an opposing coalition of Muslim nations. You can read about it in Gerald Flurry’s most recent article “How the Syrian Crisis Will End.”
