Prophecy Sign: War between Israel and her bordering neighbors, (including Lebanon).
O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still. See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.” With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you. Psalm 83:1-5 NIV

Energy War?Lebanon Warns Israel
Psalm 83 describes a prophetic war that will see an alliance of Arab nations and people groups that border Israel, coming against the Jewish state. Each nation that joins this alliance against Israel will have the major objective and goal of once and for all riding themselves of the Jewish presence in the middle-east, (won't happen).
However there will likely be other ancillary reasons for joining this war as well. For instance the Palestinians will want their own land and nation to take the place of Israel. They Syrians will want to recapture the Golan Heights. And the Lebanese may join the fray in order to ensure they secure a large chunk of the newly discovered oil and natural gas off the Israel/Lebanon coastlines.
Already the snipping has begun over this very sensitive issue. The Lebanese government have said they will take whatever measures necessary to protect what they feel are their maritime borders. Might this mean engaging in war?

Lebanon has warned Israel it is “playing with fire” by staking out energy claims in the Mediterranean Sea, where Beirut says Israel’s discoveries are in its territory. The Israeli Cabinet, heading off another dispute similar to the Sheba Farms land dispute at the northern border, approved a “marine economic zone proposal” Sunday after Lebanon presented maps to the United Nations, marking maritime borders that would include part of the giant Leviathan and Tamar fields. The United Nations previously has refused to take responsibility for marking the maritime borders.
_________________________________________President Michel Sleiman warned Israel Monday against taking any unilateral measures to exploit Lebanon’s resources in the demarcation of disputed maritime borders, vowing that the country would defend its sea and land boundaries and rights through all legitimate means. Sleiman’s warning came as a dispute over offshore gas and oil reserves between the two countries, technically at war, worsened following the Israeli government’s approval of a map of its proposed maritime borders which Lebanon deemed an aggression and an infringement on its right to an exclusive economic zone.
