"Some have speculated that this oil find is part of what will drag Russia by a 'hook in its jaw' to attack Israel (some say, China as well will be coming after the oil as the Biblical "King of the East" with a massive army."
Actually, GOD said, "I'm going to put a hook in your jaw and draw you down". The "down" they're being drawn to is Israel, but it's not specifically for the oil.
In Isaiah 17:1, it says, "The burden of Damascus. It has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap." Now .. I don't know about you, but I can think of only one thing which would cause Damascus to become a ruinous heap .. Israel's nukes!
What would prompt Israel to use these nukes you ask ..?? Some years ago, the Jerusalem Post wrote a story about a moat which had been built around the city of Damascus - and inside the moat were scud missles - all pointed at Israel. Hmmmm? Now that the news is leaking out that a major portion of the WMD from Iraq went to Syria, could the Syrians be planning on using some of it in the tips of their scud missles - and letting them fly at Israel ..??
I don't know what will trigger Isaiah 17:1 to come to pass, but Israel will be justified in doing it. However, the world (the lefties) will be livid and mass together and march (from the north) to get rid of Israel forever. Just look at a map and you will see France, China, Russia, and all their muslim subcountries, are all in the north from Israel.
There's just one little item these countries have overlooked .. GOD is going to meet them in the Valley of Miggido and defeat them ALL (Eke 38,39). This is not the battle of Armageddon.
After this event, it will be approx a year or so for the church to bring in the final harvest.
By the way .. for those of you who choose not to believe this .. that's okay with me. I heard this prophesy in 1985 and it's still as vivid to me today. I'm just telling you all this so you'll be calm when these events happen and you can calm others.
Quix - George Otis's name was mentioned by the person who gave this prophesy. So, George does know some things about the oil.
Great post.
Where do you get that after that battle, there will be a year or so to bring in the harvest.
Not disagreeing, I just don't recall hearing of that before.
Blessings,
