U.S. Government Report:
Israel has 122 Trillion Cubic Feet of
Natural Gas Offshore
* 2010 Epicenter Conference to examine
whether we are seeing events consistent with
Ezekiel 38-39
By
Joel C. Rosenberg
(Washington,
D.C., May 17, 2010) -- A recently-released
report by the U.S. Department of Interior
indicates that Israel has massive reserves
of natural gas and oil supplies just
offshore, lying under the Mediterranean.
"The U.S. Geological Survey estimated a mean
1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and a
mean of 122 trillion cubic feet of natural
gas in the Levant Basin Province using a
geology based assessment methodology,"
stated the report's executive summary.
Israelis for years have lamented that if God
wanted to bless them with a "promised land"
He could have given them the oil-rich
Arabian peninsula. Thus the report has
become big news in the Israeli media and the
energy industry. Several oil and gas
companies are already at work there and have
made more modest discoveries in recent
years. But this is by far the biggest
development to date and some reports
indicate Israel could begin using the
natural gas -- and possibly exporting it --
within two years.
What intrigues me is that such developments
are consistent with several Bible prophecies
that indicate petroleum will be discovered
in Israel in the last days, adding to the
nation's prosperity. For more details,
please see Chapter Five of my 2006
non-fiction book, Epicenter: "FUTURE
HEADLINE: ISRAEL DISCOVERS MASSIVE RESERVES
OF OIL, GAS."
