“Despite a population of only slightly more than 7million people...Israel is now home to more than7,200 millionaires...Of the 500 wealthiest people inthe world, six are now Israeli, and all told, Israel's richhad assets in 2007 of more than $35 billion dollars...Israel's GDP is almost double that of any other MiddleEastern country.”

“The value of the minerals of the Dead Sea is estimated atfive trillion dollars. This estimate appears to be optimistic butit is supported in part by the report of the Crown Agents ofthe British Colonies entitled ‘Production of Minerals From theWaters of the Dead Sea’.... This official report estimates theminerals, except oil, in 1925 as follows: Magnesium Chloride,22,000 tons, value 600 billion dollars; Potassium Chloride,20,000 tons, value 75 billion dollars; other minerals valued at1,200 billion dollars; or a total of about three trillion dollars,exclusive of oil.”

The Rothschild’s Palestine, All Roads Lead to Jerusalemhttp://www.matterofprinciple.net/ 011/11/rothschilds‐palestine.html (accessed December 15, 2011). Although there is a wide variation of

estimates, many different sources estimate the mineral wealth of the Dead Sea in the trillions of dollars.

In the summer of 2010, "...huge deposits of natural gas were foundalong Israel's northern coastline…Israel is actually sitting on top of a vastamount of oil. According to Harold Vinegar, the former chief scientist ofRoyal Dutch Shell, the Shefla Basin holds the world’s second‐largestshale deposits outside the United States, from which around 250 billionbarrels of oil–about the same as Saudi Arabia’s provenreserves...Estimates of global deposits range from 2.8 trillion to 3.3trillion barrels of recoverable oil...The technology curb has now reachedthe point where shale is becoming an exploitable resource...the Sheflashale is in a hospitable location. It also contains oil of the light, sweetvariety that is easy to refine into gasoline or other common endproducts. Most of all, the Jews have proven themselves to be verytalented at exploiting resources. If they can't make shale oil work, Idoubt any nation can.”

“After more than a year of round‐the‐clock drilling, large amountsof oil have been found on the Golan Heights. Estimates are thatthe amount of oil discovered will make Israel self sufficient for verymany years to come. Afek Oil and Gas chief geologist Dr. YuvalBartov told Channel 2 News, "We are talking about a strata whichis 350 meters thick and what is important is the thickness and theporosity. On average in the world strata are 20‐30 meters thick, sothis is ten times as large as that, so we are talking about significantquantities. The important thing is to know the oil is in the rock andthat's what we now know." Three drillings have so far taken placein the southern Golan Heights which have found large reserves ofoil. Potential production is dramatic ‐ billions of barrels, which willeasily provide all Israel's oil needs...”

“Israel consumes 270,000 barrels of oil per day. Although theexistence of the oil in the ground is a fact, the critical phase now isto check how easily it can be extracted and whether it involveshigh production costs. In a period of very low oil prices, extractionwill have to be relatively cheap to make exploitation of the fieldprofitable. Just as Israel's offshore Mediterranean gas discoverieshave created an entire energy industry, so the Golan oil find couldalso generate a new industry around it. But while the gas has beenfound dozens of kilometers from Israel, the Golan find is muchcloser...Bartov said, "There is enormous excitement. It's a fantasticfeeling. We came here thinking maybe yes or maybe no and nowthings are really happening.”

1 Peter 5:5-You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

Dan. 10:4-On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, while I was by the bank of the great river, that is, the [f]Tigris.

6

Dan. 10:5-6-5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold of Uphaz. 6 His body also was like [g]beryl, his face [h]had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a [i]tumult.

Rev. 1:13-15-13 and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like [j]a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash. 14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.

Matt. 24:36-36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

1 Peter 1:12-12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to [j]look.

Col. 2:18-18 Let no one keep [r]defrauding you of your prize by delighting in [s]self-abasement and the worship of the angels, [t]taking his stand on visions he has seen, [u]inflated without cause by his fleshly mind.

7

Deut. 32:40-‘Indeed, I lift up My hand to heaven, And say, as I live forever.

Rev. 10:5-5 Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven.

Dan. 9:27-And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of [a]abominations will come one who [b]makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who [c]makes desolate.

Matt. 24:15-22- 15 “Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION

OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 [h]Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. 18 [i]Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. 22 Unless those days had been cut short, no [j]life would

have been saved; but for the sake of the [k]elect those days will be cut short.

Rev. 13:2, 4- 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority… 4 they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?”

John 13:27-27 After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus *said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

Dan. 7:25- He will speak [y]out against the Most High and wear down the [z]saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and [aa]they will be given into his hand for a [ab]time, [ac]times, and half a [ad]time.

Rom. 11:26-and so all Israel will be saved

Zech. 12:10-10 “I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.

Matt. 13:14-15-[e]In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,‘[f]YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, [g]BUT WILL

NOT UNDERSTAND;[h]YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT

PERCEIVE; 15 FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE

CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR

EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR

HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.’

Acts 28:25-28-25 And when they did not agree with one another, they began leaving after Paul had spoken one parting word, “The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers,26 saying, ‘GO TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY,“[s]YOU

WILL KEEP ON HEARING, [t]BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND [u]YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; 27 FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, AND WITH

THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED

THEIR EYES; OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR

HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.”’28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will also listen.”

2 Cor. 3:14-16-14 But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil [e]remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. 15 But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; 16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Rom. 11:7-10-7 What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but [e]those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened; 8 just as it is written, “GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT

OF STUPOR, EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT, DOWN TO

THIS VERY DAY.” 9 And David says, “LET THEIR TABLE BECOME

A SNARE AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A

RETRIBUTION TO THEM. 10 “LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO

SEE NOT, AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER.”

Ezek. 38:8- After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many [f]nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but [g]its people were brought out from the [h]nations, and they are living securely, all of them.

Ezek. 38:11- and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of [j]unwalled villages. I will go against those who are at rest, that live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates.

Ezek. 38:12- to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the [k]center of the world.’

Matthew 23:39- 39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF

THE LORD!’”

Zech. 12:10- I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [h]the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.

2 Cor. 12:7- Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself,

there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to [b]torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!

1 Thess. 1:10- and to wait for His Son from [h]heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

1 Thess. 5:9- For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
