Israel Strikes Beirut as US-Iran Deal Hangs by a Thread

Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs killed at least three people on Sunday, prompting Trump to publicly rebuke Netanyahu while warning all sides to stand down as a US-Iran memorandum of understanding teetered on collapse. The escalating conflict between Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran — with world powers scrambling to broker fragile peace — mirrors the biblical pattern of unstable, temporary covenants surrounding Israel in the last days. Daniel 9:27 warns of a covenant with many that will ultimately fail, and Zechariah 12:3 declares Jerusalem and its surrounds will become a burdensome stone for all nations in the end times.
