Hezbollah's Inflated Ego And Entity

Hezbollah's Inflated Ego And Entity

By: Elias Bejjani*

The frightening Hezbollah's devastating cancerous ailment is hitting Lebanon hard and mercilessly and the Lebanese people on all levels and in all domains are the victims. Meanwhile, the most dangerous sign of this killing ailment is the inflated ego-entity of Hezbollah's members and supporters. The destructive effects of their inflated ego-entity are not only threatening the Lebanese who oppose Hezbollah's Iranian schemes and occupation, but most severely damaging Hezbollah's own community, supporters and members.

It has become very clear that Hezbollah's milieu, and inner circles on all levels are living a very serious sickening grandiose delusion through which its armed as well its unarmed members and supporters do not respect the rights of all other Lebanese and accordingly deal with them in a sense of superiority. In this situation, the group mostly hit by this false inflation is Hezbollah's own community where not even one day passes without a bloody incident among its supporters or members.

Those hit by this symptom of inflation commit all kinds of horrible mayhem and chaos, they manufacture, grow, distribute and export illicit drugs, launder money, sell weapons, steal, kill, infringe on all the land laws, challenge human rights, invade regions and homes inside Lebanon, and assassinate, intimidate, and humiliate anyone who opposes them, and kidnap and exercise every Mafioso atrocity.

Sadly, the Lebanese state is helpless, the officials are puppets, the army and all other security forces are either terrorized, fully controlled or totally castrated; the politicians and clergy are corrupt and the judiciary is crippled.
By force, terrorism and intimidation, Hezbollah practically occupies Lebanon according to all internationally recognized criteria. Its Iranian affiliated leadership controls the country's decision making process and dominates its governing bodies, including the parliament, cabinet and security institutions.

The Lebanese people alone are unable to free their country from the savage Hezbollah occupation and unless the Free World countries step in and give them a hand, the Hezbollah cancer is going to spread all over the region.

It is worth mentioning that Hezbollah is a mere Iranian army proxy and tool used openly by the Iranian mullahs to carry out their scheme of expansionism in a bid to erect their sectarian empire.

History teaches us that thugs, thieves, and terrorists no matter how mighty they become or how big their weapons caches are, or how many armed men they have, no matter what, they will ultimately be defeated, humiliated and made to pay for all the crimes they committed against others.

The Lebanese proverb: “If it had remained for others it would not have come to you”, envisages the definite end of all those that are evil. Hezbollah's leadership, as well those in control of the Axis of Evil in both Iran and Syria, must be very cautious and re-evaluate their bloody and expansionist scheme because in Lebanon there is no one that is bigger or mightier than the Lebanese holy cause that encompasses freedom, equality, independence, sovereignty peace and coexistence.

The ultimate fate of all those who at the present time occupy and terrorize the Lebanese people is not going in any way to be different from the fate of all those evil powers all though history that invaded and occupied other countries or committed crimes against others. They will face the same fate that they inflicted on others as the prophet Isaiah states (Isaiah 33/01 and 02): “Our enemies are doomed! They have robbed and betrayed, although no one has robbed them or betrayed them. But their time to rob and betray will end, and they themselves will become victims of robbery and treachery”.

Reality and history prove with no doubt and on daily basis that no one, no one human being has left this earthly world and was able to carry with him to the grave or to the other world be it heaven or hell any of his riches, power or status because all that is earthly remains on the earth while people vanish and return to ashes, from which God made them. When Almighty God decides to take back his gift, the soul, the human body dies instantly, loses all its vitality, becomes cold, motionless, breathless and within less than two weeks its own dormant worms turn it back to ashes.

The righteous return happily and joyfully to their Father’s heavenly domain, while the evil ones are pushed away and thrown in Hell, "where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched." (Mark 9:48).
Those righteous and faithful who obey God's commandments in both faith and acts will never ever be left alone. God and His angels always safeguard them. Prophet Isaiah stresses on the fact that God always affirms His endless love: "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand". (41:10-13)
We call on all those who are inflicting pain on our peace-loving people in Lebanon to put an immediate end to all their atrocities, ask God for forgiveness and repent before it is too late. God is a merciful and always willing to forgive those who ask for forgiveness.

Modesty is a Priceless and Everlasting Fortune

By: Elias Bejjani

"He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty". (Luke 01/51-54)

Those who falsely delude themselves into thinking they are superior to others, super wise and can do everything and any thing, fall into the evil trap of arrogance. By doing so they badly detach themselves from the reality of God's love. They build delusional castles in their minds, imprison themselves inside its imaginary gates and ultimately become completely blind in both heart and soul .

Arrogant individuals inevitably become hostile, angry, childish, selfish, antisocial and narcissists who are not welcomed anywhere. People avoid those who brag and exalt themselves. Arrogance is a very serious social problem caused by lack of faith that needs to be fixed before it gets worse. God does not bless those who are arrogant.

Almighty God has made it very clear in His Holy Book that He does not like those who are pompous, proud, and conceited because He Himself is a caring, humble, and meek Father. "Come to me, all you who labour and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

Meanwhile, we cannot solve any problem unless we admit that it actually exists, and at the same time become fully aware of its causing factors. We cannot defeat the evil of arrogance and the destructive self-exaltation that results unless we know our own capabilities, means and resources. And most importantly, recognize that all people are brothers and sisters to one Father, the Almighty God.

One might wonder why some people tend to behave in such a way that they end being socially hated and isolated. Mainly because of their ignorance, distorted self-image, and most importantly because they have very little or no faith at all. They fail to gain genuine friends and have no room for intimate and long lasting relationships. Even their close family members avoid them and do not feel comfortable in their presence. They cannot love others because of their narcissism.

These disturbed individuals need to be humble, loving, and honest to overcome their arrogant behaviour. They need to call on Almighty God for the grace of humility. God always responds to our calls and prayers when we put our full trust in Him, recognize His love, and lay our lives in His generous hands. "Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21/21-22)

Humility is the magic curing medicine for arrogance. This heavenly grace is always there for us if and when we pursue it with faith and unquestionable trust in God. Knowing what humility means to our lives and for our salvation is critically important.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. (Psalm 111:10)

There is humility that comes from the fear of God, and there is humility that comes from God Himself. Some are modest because they fear God, and some are modest because they know how to live with all the heavenly endowments that banishes all doubts, fears, selfishness, hatred, covetousness and grudges from our earthly nature.

Those who fear God are humble because they enjoy peace within themselves. Those who fear God watch what they say and do, find sweetness in their bodies which are God's temples, and experience the priceless grace of balance in their senses, granting them full control over their instincts and a forgiving heart at all times.

Those who are humble because they know and experience genuine happiness with purity, enjoy great simplicity all the time with a cheerful and transparent heart. God loves the humble and always comes to their rescue so that no hardships or evil things can weaken their faith, entrap them into the temptations of the wicked and unrighteous, or makes them slaves to sin.  Jesus Christ Himself has set the rules in regards to humility: "But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23/11-12)

The Bible (Malachi 4/1-6), Tells us exactly what the proud and wicked will be facing on the Day of Judgment. Let us never forget this or keep a blind eye on it:

“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall. You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.  Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."

In conclusion, humbleness is a blessed grace that we need to pursue via faith, love and fear of God. To be really God's children we must dearly hold on to this grace and integrate it into our every day life, heart, mind and practise. We are all equal and have one Father who created us on his image. We are all one family, brothers and sisters no matter who we are. That we are all children of God the Father is true no matter where we live, what our racial identity is, the language we speak, the social status that we enjoy,  the wealth that we have, the strength that we possess, and even whether we are good or sinful. Almighty God is our loving Father and accordingly we must learn to be humble before Him and love each other more intimately as members of His one family.
