Introduction: Have you been keeping up with the deal in Israel? That is the deal with Lebanon over the gas fields called karish and qana (Maritime boundaries). This discovered territory stretches over 330 miles in the Mediterranean Sea. Is it wise? Will there be repercussions? How has America chimed into the negotiations? Is this good? Was this a political ploy by the current serving Prime Minister of Israel named Lapid? Let’s take a look at this present situation with a prophetical spin.
1. Israel (Psa 122:6)
“6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”
While there is justification for the deal according to Lapid, namely that Israel will supposedly receive 17 % of the revenue, we will see. However, the opposition group led by Benjamin Netanyahu has vehemently rejected the deal. In his opinion, it would be selling Israel’s sovereignty over to the terroristic group called Hezbollah. Make no mistake about it. Hezbollah is an enemy of Israel. In fact, they were attacking this controlled area with bombs. However, Israel can defend herself, and may have to in the future.
2. Lebanon (Ezek 38,39; Psa 83)
Lebanon is strategically located north of Israel. Iran has a certain amount of control through its proxies called Hezbollah. Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah has been involved in the deal. According to Bible prophecy, Lebanon, along with Saudi Arabia, Edom, and Gaza, will attack Israel sometime in the future.
3. America (Psa 33:12)
“12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.”
Prime minister Lapid and President Biden have been interacting on the deal. In fact, Lapid thanked the President for rescuing the deal from being thrown out. Is this good that America is wanting for Israel to be in jeopardy with its security?
