LEBANON'S FUTURE Foretold in the Bible! - Keith W Stump - September-October 1982

Keith W Stump

Once again fighting in Lebanon has grabbed the headlines. But what of the future of this battle-scarred region? What is happening inside Lebanon? What is the significance of the continuing turmoil besetting this bitterly divided nation? And what does Bible prophecy say about the fate of this narrow strip of territory lying by the blue waters of the eastern Mediterranean? Lebanon today is a vitally important element in the turbulent Middle East picture. Yet few really understand the crucial events taking place there - or comprehend where they are leading. The year 1982 has seen a sharp increase in violence and turmoil inside embattled Lebanon. This war-torn country - once the trading and banking center of the Arab world - has been rent asunder by years of divisive infighting and intervention by outside powers (see accompanying story). Chronic warfare has wrecked its cities. Its previously prosperous economy is devastated. The beautiful country of Lebanon has been carved into a myriad of separate enclaves and spheres of influence. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
