            [Mic. 5:5-8] The 4  leader and 3  Shepherd will arise.
            [Zech. 12:6] Israeli will be a firepan against nations;
               1st Israeli-Lebanon war, 1982

            [Zech. 12:2-3]  As Zechariah had prophesied,  Jerusalem
            has become a burden to all nations!  Also, as prophesied

            by Ezekiel, the Shekel once again become in basic unit of
            currency (Ezek. 45:12).  This original currency unit was
            re-established in February 1980.


            [Mic. 5:5-8] During the late 70’s to early 80’s, Israel’s 4th
            Leader,  Menachem  Begin  (1977-1983)  guided  Israel
            through  major  conflicts.  In  1981  after  long  hostilities
            with  Syria,  Prime  Minister  Menachem  Begin  enacted  a
            law to annex the Golan Heights. In January 1982, Ariel
            Sharon  became  Israel’s  IDF  commander  and  its  3rd
            Shepherd.  He  protected  Jewish  settlements  against
            Syrian  threats  in  the  Golan  Heights  territory.  Within  6
            months,  the  next  major  prophetic  event  occurred,  the

            Israel-Lebanon  War.    In  June  1982  Menachem  Begin
            ordered the bombing of PLO positions in Lebanon.  An
            intense war ensued against PLO along with Syrian forces.
            Ariel Sharon, Israel’s 3rd Shepherd, led that campaign.


            [Zech.  12:6]  Given  these  ongoing  conflicts  between
            Israel  and  its  surrounding  neighbors,  Zechariah’s
            prophecy  that  Israel  will  be  a  firepan  against  its
            surrounding enemies was and continues to be fulfilled.
