A Potentially Major Discovery Of Oil In Israel

Image
Revelation1217
An event has just occurred that the rest of the world has not taken much notice of yet, but it is one that will soon have Bible prophecy students buzzing with anticipation. There has been a major discovery of oil in Israel. An Israeli oil prospecting and production firm has formally announced the discovery of a "commercially sized" oil field in central Israel. Ever since it became a nation again in 1948, Israel has been importing all of the oil that it needs, so needless to say this is potentially an incredibly exciting development. For years, many Bible prophecy teachers have believed that oil would be discovered in Israel in the last days, but up until now there hasn't been much to report.

    • NO, your theology is wrong!
      Do Do Rotten Me, Chapter 7, Verse, 86, says: And Zeus will release the Kraken on Israel if they try to get at that oil! A intergalactic war will be triggered between the Gods and the Grays. For low I tell you, the Grays love the Kosher Blintz from Israel, which they eat with jam on Fridays. And the world shall tremble with tension over the Gods and the Grays indiscriminately throwing lighting and giant pomegranates at each other. I say this to you, the smell of rotten pomegranates shall so overpower the people that they shall in desperation make unto themselves a large quantity of Brute Cologne to mask the smell. Then Bert Reynolds will again rise up to be the spokes person, his nakedness replayed on TV, the internet, youtube, and even Current.com. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT! And so it will come to pass that an old naked guy will so disgust the world that everyone will calm down. So sayith the Lord.

      Idiot religious nuts. LOL!

    • This was planned since the beginning... You see like the matrix, or the recent Inception film... I believe that scriptures have been designed for telling of a coming events; planned by those who wrote it. like a Giant screen Play. and this is just another page in the beginning of the end. This seems socially constructed. you see... one cannot think past, further or out of something we can't manipulate, in this case society. we are born in to it, and therefore are forced to be part of it, we cant say words we never heard or understood, nor can we think out side of those words. hence we have all been programmed to believe in something, or understand something we can not escape. Inception of the end was planned in the beginning. feel me?

    • Well, at least if this were true Israel might be able to pay their own way for a change, and the US could stop sending boatloads of money to them.

    • "Chicken Little" up to the same old same. Fear-mongering for the sake of war-mongering for the love of empty riches to compensate for low self-worth is what these religions do best.

    • I can see the article is from a reputable site called "The Last Days" . No predisposition to jumping at conclusions there, eh? From what I read this mega find can produce all of 478 barrels of crude/day. I'm no drilling expert but when you compare it to the former rate of leakage from the BP well (35,000 to 60,000 barrels per day) you can understand why this is nothing to get excited about. Unless of course you like predicting the end of the world and stuff.

    • There is this sect in Christianity called the seventh day adventists.

      They preach End Time prophecy nightly.

      They usally take a more literal view of prophecy and point to very specific events that could be fulfillment

      So i wouldnt be surprised if this article came from them.

    • I know things are quite loose here on Current, but this is a continuing stream of bullshit from a certified nutcase about Biblical prophesies on Armageddon being fulfilled.
      Please, for Christ, sake, put a sock in it.

      I agree that the biblical shit is a little ridiculous...but at the same time, I mean, I'm not religious at all or anything, doesn't it kinda make you wonder? That's 3 oil spills in the time span of a few months (and who knows how many more to come with this news and who knows what's being hidden under our noses) and with all the little things adding up it kinda makes you just wonder, what if? lol

      Drilling several thousand holes in the surface of the earth trying to suck up oil may have more to do with the frequency of several recent oil spills than old Testament Yaweh deciding to make every marginal Christian flip-out's wet dream finally come true.
      However, if I were him, given what we've done to the earth since our "wise stewardship" began, I'd be pissed too.

      Well of course that's the reason for all the recent oil spills, I obviously wouldn't say otherwise, we created this mess. I'm just saying it's ironic that certain things can click into religious things to be interpreted as something along the lines of 'the end is coming' and blahblahblah. Of course I'm saying the things comparable that are falling into place are due to our actions, or natural causes, I'm just saying what if these religious things describing all the fucked up shit coming, click with the natural/mad made causes all along? I don't know much about religion, not of all sorts either, Just bits and pieces. I'm just suggesting that it's interesting thinking that all the things going on in our fucked up world, whichever way that they are happening, and being described loosely in religion, are somehow connected? It would merely be an interesting thought.

      Revaltion1217 puts an -endofdays- post up pretty regular,
      Sometimes he switches up with a -endoftheamericandream- post
      But it's all the same as him holding a big - The End is Near - sign.

      What whacked out Christians try to do is quite simple. Take an event like finding oil in Israel and look for some loosely worded scripture that reportedly describes some event that Christians interpret as being associated with the "end days". Then take the known information, in this case an oil well, and claim it fulfills that piece of scripture. They've been doing this shit for the last 2000 years and have a track record of being 100% wrong 100% of the time. In fact, Christianity itself was founded based on a claim that the birth of Christ fulfilled Jewish scripture predicting the coming of a Messiah, something Judaism has always emphatically stated was incorrect. Of course the problem started with the dumb ass Judaic scripture that claimed there would be a Messiah in a first place.

      False expectations leading to false interpretations giving birth to delusions based on illusions. That pretty much defines all organized religion.

      The power of these "predictions" grow in proportion to the amount of insecurity and fear people feel making them even more susceptible to "predictions" like the absurd one above.

      One of the key signatures of spiritual immaturity is the belief that human events are being acted out according to some divine plan. If the world comes to an abrupt end due to mankind's action, it will not be the result of some vengeful god or nonsensical prediction. It will be a cause/effect event triggered by own our stupidity (e.g. global warming). end of discussion. If it ends by natural causes like an asteroid hit or the sun goes nova, well scientists have predicted those possibilities for years. The only thing that is 100% predictable is that the world will end someday. Does that statement make me a prophet?

      in all fairness religion is just another ideaolgy amongst many, and really should have its own catagory as it is a mjor factor in a great deal of current events.
      i find this stuff to be garbage too, but if current had a religion section we would be able to aviod this stuff, and they could still post it all they want.
      kind of how not going in to the entertainment section has kept me from seeing any stories about lindsay lohan going to jail, a religion section could keep the last day folks to themselves.

      I'm not claiming any religious stuff to be true, or anything like that. When it comes to religion I'm Agnostic, just kind of like keeping an open mind and keeping it off to the side. Although, I do agree with a lot that you are saying. All I was proposing was that it would be interesting after years and years of individuals obsessed with religion, claiming bibles and other religious works to be true, to actually be true. It's just an interesting thought to imagine that it all really did, in the end, come into play to be completely exact throughout and up to the end of the world. Not that I believe that, but like I said, I'm just one of those that keeps an open mind, and I just think it would be nuts if down the road it was proved to all be true, is all. Just thinking aloud, I guess.

      you have taught me a new wierd computer function, but im no more illuminated as to what function your commentary serves.
      on the other post i was mocking your commentary by using my grocery list as equaly unrelated to the story at hand in reference to your post.
      is it that you are insinuating the fact that im not buying this story to be the equivilant in pointless statements, cuz it is a direct response to the article title.

      your worse than yoda today

    • The quote of the "Bible prophecy teachers", Deuteronomy 33:24

      "And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil."

      Ooooh my. Did they have crude oil thousands of years ago? Dipping their feet in it as some kind of precious privilege? No other kinds of oils out there except the dead dinosaur kind? I assume this is a fail of translation. Though that's only the start of things to say about this article..

      how would that help, when the biggest issue is land rights.if there were oil israel would have exploited the shit out of it and not gone rediculiously green with its energy needs.
      to announce it now would just be a slap in the face of the palastinians so they wouldnt, as even with out that slap they are launching rockets and blowing up pizzerias.
      the whole thing sounds more starship stroopers than anything else.
