(IsraelNN.com) A massive natural gas find off the coast of Haifa which was lauded as capable of fueling all of Israel for 15 years is actually more than 60 percent larger than originally estimated, according to the American partner in the drill, Noble Energy Inc.
Israeli companies Isramco Negev 2, Delek Drilling, Avner Oil Exploration, and Dor Gas Exploration had the majority of the stake on the dig – named Tamar-1 – which is estimated at a potential of 5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. That estimate is up from January, at which time the partners believed the well contained 3 million cubic feet of gas.
The team will keep their drilling rig in the area for two more wells they believe may be present as well.
The implications of this discovery to Israel cannot be overstated," said Noble Energy Chief Executive Officer Charles Davidson, in a statement issued after following the revision of the estimate.
Isramco shares, which have skyrocketed 736 percent since the start of the year, were 7.2 percent higher on Wednesday morning compared with declines of over 2 percent in the broader market.
Delek Drilling is up 6.4 percent as of Wednesday morning, with Avner up 4.8 percent. Conglomerate Delek Group (DELKG.TA), the parent of Delek Drilling and Avner, is up 5.9 percent.
Read the book. I should check out his website.

In northern Galilee of the state of Israel lies a legendary site, the world’s most contested piece of territory. Bible prophecy tells us it will once again be a focal point for a battle almost beyond comprehension.
Revelation 16:16 we read where the armies of the kings of the east are “gathered...together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.” This is the only place in Scripture where the term Armageddon is mentioned. The word Armageddon comes from the Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Har Megiddo (the Hebrew prefix Har means “hill” or “mountain”).
Megiddo is a site that has seen more battles than any other location on earth. It will be the staging ground for the final battle prior to Christ’s return.
INDEED.
And still there are Conservative clueless FREEPERS insisting these are not the END TIMES!
What does it take, God replacing Mt Rushmore with the 12 Patriarchs or the TWO WITNESSES?
Sheesh.
Love it.
However, tweaking some folks with Biblical Prophecy facts . . . is
an exercise in FTTM
futility-to-the-max!
Theologically ignorant, self-righteous haughty perspectives seem to be impervious even to carbide bits for boring holes and pouring it in!
Been there and seen that valley.
Incredible place.
One almost feels the grinding of historic forces there.
Jesus said this for the people of our day: “Don’t be ignorent of the signs of the times”
Jesus said, “ He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowing. O’ ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? “
Exactly Quix!
This will only add fuel to the fire.

Sometimes, I think what we are seeing . . .
when so called pseudo-Christians; luke-warm “Christians”
are presented with stacks of evidence and willfully choose to deny, disbelieve etc. . . . believing instead in their own arrogant constructions on reality . . .
that what we are seeing is the beginning of the sorting out of the sheep vs the goats . . . .
those with The Oil of His Spirit . . . and those without . . .
And he will say . . . DEPART FROM ME, I NEVER KNEW YOU.
How much more sobering-to-the-max can it get?
Oh, for a moment I thought John Hagee was making another trip to the Middle East.
You have to admit Biblical Prophecy is happening...
If your spiritual eyes are opened then you will see Topcat.
Do you think the new world emperor, "Tell E. Prompter The Beneficent" bestower of benefits, cars, kitchen sinks and bathrooms, will really allow them to drill?
I have no clue what that is supposed to mean. They are but empty words. You have no way of saying with any bit of certainty that any specific biblical prophecy is happening today. There’s nothing to admit to.
All I’ve seen here is that someone found a gas pocket in the Middle East and someone else managed to wrestle a Bible verse out of its context to make “Bible Prophecy come alive”. Folks sit around soaking this all up like the audience at a David Copperfield performance.
If your spiritual eyes are opened then you will see Topcat.
Translation: if I would only drink the same interpretative kool aid that all the futurists are drinking I would see the light. No thanks.
I love this picture. Thanks for posting it.
Three million to five trillion, now that’s a jump.
Great map, thanks for posting it!
