Sid: We want everyone everywhere to be on God’s side of the fence. You say “Well if someone is a real Christian they’ll be on God’s side of the fence.” Not necessarily if you study history. The only way to be on God’s side of the fence is not doing what you feel, not doing what you sense, if it’s in contradiction to the pure written word of God. If I know anything I know Genesis 12:3 is still true today, and God says, and He’s not a man that He should lie. “I will bless those who bless the Jewish people, I will curse those who curse them.” I have someone on the telephone that knows from firsthand experience, his name is Lance Lambert. He has lived in Israel since 1973, but he’s from Great Britain. He recognizes Genesis 12:3 is still in effect today, but Lance where I would like to go today is there’s a group called Hezbollah. Tell who they, where they are, and what they’re up to.
Lance: They are a Shiite, which is one of the denominations of Islam, one of the major denominations of Islam. A Shiite militia in Lebanon they have been funded and armed by Iran though Syria. Syria has used them as a surrogate force both in Lebanon and against Israel.
Sid: What do you believe they’re going to be up to? What is Syria pushing them to do from Lebanon?
Lance: Well I think Syria has got some serious problems at present because of the assassination of Rafic Hariri the Prime Minister of Lebanon. Now that the United Nations investigative team has discovered that basically it goes right to the very top in Syria, right up to the President Assad’s brother and brother in law. I think that means they’re in a very difficult position. Nevertheless they have been using his Hezbollah to destabilize Lebanon in their favor, and also to try and destabilize Israel. Hezbollah has been arming and training Hamas and Al Jihad the two militias in Israel that are responsible for so many of the suicide bombings and much else. So you have a very serious problem and for many years I have felt, and there are others here in Israel who feel the same, that the trouble is going to come not from the east or from the south, but from the north from Lebanon. One of the reasons was that we… years ago in the 80’s, in the middle of the 80’s, someone got in touch with me from Australia and they had a farmer’s wife with them who had had a vision in the night. They said we know this lady she is a real prayer warrior and she’s very level headed. She took a bus it took her 3 hours she’s come into Sidney and now she’s sitting with us. We said “We’ll phone you and ask you,” that’s me they’re going to phone. What happened was she was going to bed and suddenly she saw everything on fire, mountains all on fire. Three times it happened and it quite terrified her, then she finally asked the Lord “What does this mean?” The Lord gave her a word that “The mountains of the north of Israel would be on fire, but not to fear because the Lord would save Israel.” Then went on to say “Kuwait will be on fire and the smoke will go up to heaven and cover the earth.” A whole number of other things about the nations all joining in and helping by either sending troops or money. Well it was extraordinary because in 1990 that’s exactly what happened when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and set on fire the oil wells which literally circled the earth with a thing which caused a difference in the winter we had. I mean it’s incredible but it’s true. Now the interesting thing is that the beginning of the prophecy and the end of the prophecy she got were not fulfilled.
Sid: Tell me what was not fulfilled.
Lance: What was not fulfilled was the mountains on the north of Israel would be on fire and there would be great carnage.
Sid: The mountains in the north of Israel is what territory?
Lance: Well that could be Lebanon, it could be Syria, and it could be northern Israel.
Sid: What do you think it will be?
Lance: Well I, my feeling, and we’ve felt it for some time, that one of these they’re going to open up and rain down, they have the largest number of rockets…
Sid: You’re talking about Hezbollah?
Lance: Hezbollah yes.
Sid: Okay.
Lance: The largest number and they have been trained by the Iranian revolutionary guard. Now the revolutionary guard of Iran are not to be laughed at they are clever, and very very intelligent. So it’s not going to be a hit and miss thing like we’ve known before with some of our Arab neighbors. So my feeling is one of these days they will open up; now whether Syria will do it now with all this interest focused on her over the assassination of Hariri I don’t know. They could do it to try and take away tension.
Sid: Lance let me ask you a question, have you ever studied from the Bible how much land God has promised, I mean we’re looking at dividing the land which is the opposite of what God wants. How much more than Israel currently has does God say we will have?
Lance: Well we have a problem only in the sense that two or three times the promise land lies between the sea, which is the Mediterranean and the Euphrates, and the River Nile. Now why we say River Nile is because in at least one of those instances the word Nahar is used for river, which is a flowing river, it can only mean the Nile. Whereas other times it is Nakhar which is the wadi of Egypt, which is actually in El-Arish in northern Sinai. What we know is at least the borders of the promised land go up at the very least to the river Zahrani in Lebanon. The rabbis have always felt that one of the wadi’s that goes from the Tigris down… is the border between Saudi Arabia and Jordan is the border of the promised land, and wadi El-Arish is the other border.
Sid: So before the Messiah comes do you think there’s any choice, not that there’ll be a two-state solution, but that Israel will have a lot more land?
Lance: It’s possible, entirely possible. Certainly when the Lord does come it will happen.
Sid: Okay Lance Lambert I do respect you prophetic sense. I want you to give us a last word as to what you see is going to be going on now in the near future in the Middle East.
Lance: I think we are in for an incredibly bumpy ride for the next year at least. Anything could happen, I’ve said it again and again, if we wake up one day it will never surprise me if we wake up one day to discover Iran has exploded a nuclear device. If that happens the whole situation in the Middle East will change literally overnight
Sid: Wait a second, what do you mean if? Of course this is going to happen they’re not going to stop.
Lance: No, no absolutely, and they’re playing amazing games with France, Germany and Britain over this, and of course the United States. It’s very interesting they seem… they must be near to a breakthrough because they’re literally fighting for months as it were of time.
Sid: It looks to me like that whole Middle East could be a powder cake very shortly, but again the repercussion on America… I’m concerned about the Middle East, I’m concerned about Israel, but the repercussion on America… you know if America becomes third world how in the world are we going to get the gospel out like we have?
Lance: Absolutely right that’s what I’ve said all along. The United States is the last Bastian of Biblical principal and truth.
Sid: Listen Mishpochah we’re out of time.
