Prophecy Becoming History

"Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD."
Malachi 4:5

Nations are breaking, Israel's awaking, The signs that the prophets foretold;
The Gentile days numbered with horrors encumbered; Eternity soon will unfold.

‘Role of Christians in Lebanon has ended,’ Hezbollah-affiliated commentator threatens.

Muslims are majority, will demand changes to political system, he warns.

 

A pro-Hezbollah commentator in Lebanon sparked online outrage after a video surfaced on social media in which he warned Lebanese Christians to "be very careful."

In an interview on Lebanese TV, the pro-Hezbollah commentator Reda Saad said that “the role of Christians in Lebanon has ended.”  

“I want to address our Christian brethren in Lebanon,” Saad stated. “They should be very careful, as this rhetoric lays the foundation for future hostility.” 

He warned that if Christians in Lebanon aligned themselves with U.S. interests, they could find themselves in a similar situation to Afghanis who worked with the Americans during the war in Afghanistan. 

“I fear for the Christians in Lebanon, that they might end up like what happened in Afghanistan, where people clung to the wheels of American planes and were thrown from the sky.” 

Despite repeated claims by Lebanese officials denying any Hezbollah presence at the nation’s only international airport in Beirut, Saad seemed to imply that the terror group was planning to take control of the airport and the nation's major ports. 

"I fear that you may end up with neither an airport nor a port left. Perhaps Western warships will come to evacuate the last of you.” 

Saad also referred to the highly problematic political situation in Lebanon, where the country has been unable to choose a new president since 2022. The Lebanese constitution was designed to share power between different religious factions and ensure that each major group has representation in government.

By law, the Lebanese president must come from a Christian political party. 

However, due to differences between the political parties, and the need for agreement from non-Christian parties, such as Hezbollah, the nation has not had a president for two years. 

“Unfortunately, you’ve seen where you’ve ended up, you can’t even secure a president,” Saad stated. “So, let it be clear to everyone, the role of Christians in Lebanon has ended within this project that aligns with the American or Israeli agenda.” 

He also threatened that the political situation would soon change to reflect the demographics of Lebanon.

Lebanon was once a majority Christian country, however, following the Lebanese Civil War, which started partially due to the influx of Palestinian refugees in 1948 and 1967, and the arrival of Palestinian terror groups, many Lebanese Christians fled the country. 

Hezbollah has also brought in Shia fighters from Iran and Syria, increasing the Shia Muslim presence in Lebanon. 

“You have become a minority in this country; and [yet] you still hold many sensitive positions in the country. No one will continue to accept this situation. The future generations will not accept a Christian president. The president must be a Sunni or a Shia Muslim.”

Saad finished by stating that Muslims would soon reject the current political situation and impose a new system based on their majority status. 

“We represent the majority in this country, and we want our share in this sectarian regime. We represent the majority as Muslims in Lebanon. We are the majority in this country, and we want our share according to our size.” 

During the First Lebanon War, Israel's term for its incursion into southern Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War, the IDF supported the Christian South Lebanon Army in its attacks on Palestinian terror groups in the region. Consequently, many Shia and Sunni Muslims in Lebanon frequently accuse Lebanese Christians of being Israeli allies.
