“Fiery torch in the sheaves” – Nuclear war in Lebanon?
The situation for Israel is critical – will she now become that “fiery torch in the sheaves”? In 1973 Israel prepared to use nuclear weapons but did not need to follow through.

United States President, Donald Trump, is contributing to the fulfillment of the “burdensome stone” prophecy in Zechariah 12:3, having made good his promise to recognize Jerusalem as the historic capital of Israel. In announcing this, President Trump has countered the Islamic revisionist claims (falsifying history) and made a clear stand against Islamic political attempts to gain global dominance.
In a move designed to counter Iranian aggression, Israel embraces NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) by opening a permanent office with the treaty organization. NATO is a European alliance from Cold War days. This alliance is based on mutual defense of member states against any attack.
However, it is another European unity treaty, and hence brings Israel into a closer relationship with Europe. Attempting to protect herself, Israel associates herself with the power that will soon be her deadliest enemy.
Could this speech really be God’s final warning?
The address delivered by President Trump at the United Nations certainly had the content of a divine warning.
As I have discussed previously, the Lord does not need to use only the saved to bring about His will.
Whether the President is a genuine believer or just respectful of American Christian values, he has been moved to speak.
I believe this because of two of the main points that President Trump made in his speech and the venue where he chose to argue them.
For a number of years now, Israel has been warning Hezbollah in Lebanon that it will respond to any attack ferociously. Hezbollah targets Israel and has continued to re-arm since the 2006 war and has tried to get high-tech anti-aircraft missiles via Syria.
Israel had some serious casualties in that war and is determined that the next will be a decisive victory. She has told the southern Lebanese population to leave when hostilities break out and has destroyed arms convoys coming from Syria, with weapons that could threaten her air force.
