Israel and Gas Fields

September 9th, 2014

Many people do not realize that the economic climate in Israel is about to undergo a huge shift due to the discovery of two huge gas fields offshore Israel that are named Tamar and Leviathan. This will make Israel energy self sufficient for at least the next 25 years, along with giving them a huge boost in export profits. If America is losing the moral courage to stand behind Israel (as evidenced by this administration), God may be replacing her with other means.

  • Robert Lowry One sense of the chronology of future prophetic events is that the next major one to occur is Ezekiel’s War, in which a coalition led by Iran and Russia and their surrogate states invades Israel for “spoil”. The Bible doesn’t say what the “spoil” is, but it could very well be natural resources, e.g. the mineral deposits of the Dead Sea, or oil and gas reserves like you describe. In the face of overwhelming odds Israel wins that war miraculously with God’s leading and without the help of the US, either because this country is too weakened by events unspecified by the Bible, or it loses the political will to continue to be Israel’s friend. It’s my opinion that the discovery of major petroleum reserves in Israel is a geological event that heralds fulfilling of prophecy. Steve, what do you know about a little Israeli oil company named Zion Oil and Gas?

  • Steve Ray Webb Robert Lowry, I share your analysis that the stakes have gone up for Israel now that they are an economic prize in addition to a political one. As for Zion Oil, I have never met or worked with any of them. I know that their CEO made it onto the 700 Club, induced a lot of investors to invest who have mostly lost their money, and are now quite unhappy. That is the extent of my knowledge. I will add that I am not impressed with the oil and gas prospects for onshore Israel – where Zion has been doing their work. A number of wells have been drilled onshore and they did not have the criteria that I look for, to find profitable oil and gas..

  • Marilyn Mcclintock God will show Himself strong to support Israel even if the whole world turns against her. “In order to show you My power, and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth” (EX.9:16). History is just repeating itself.
