Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Signed, But Hezbollah Not Party to Deal

Israel and Lebanon, with US mediation, have signed a framework ceasefire agreement requiring Hezbollah's disarmament and withdrawal from southern Lebanon — yet Hezbollah itself was not a signatory and may not comply. This fragile peace mirrors the biblical pattern of false peace in the last days, where declarations of security precede sudden instability across the Middle East. Scripture warns that in the end times there will be 'wars and rumours of wars' and a pursuit of peace that ultimately cannot hold without the Prince of Peace (Matthew 24:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:3).
