HAIFA, Israel – After Israel complained for years that it was surrounded by oil-rich states but didn’t have a drop within its own borders, it appears there’s a big-time turnaround with the announcement Wednesday that massive oil reserves have been located in the Golan Heights,close to the country’s border with Syria.

I remember Gold Meir saying that Moses wandered around the desert for 40 years and finally took them to the only place in the ME with no oil!...............

Big trouble, the Golan Heights were Syrian until 1973, Israel has not formally annexed the Golan Heights, IIRC. In International law, it’s still Syria. So can they exploit these reserves? Could Israel free up the oil to Syria in exchange for Syrian peace, recognition and normalization of relationship?

A legal state of war still exists between Syria and Israel.

massive oil reserves have been located in the Golan Heights,close to the country’s border with Syria.

Perhaps the location will extend to the Mediterranean area. The prophecy states that "Asher will dip his foot in oil" (Deut. 33:24).

More likely they’ve drilled horizontally several hundred miles into the Saudi oil fields...

If they free up the oil to Syria they need to charge one heck of a finder’s fee and processing fee. No way they should give the Heights back as they are too strategic as a launching point for an attack on Israel.

“After Israel complained...”

What kind of jackass jew-baiting lead is that? It’s a joke - no oil in Israel. Complained?

Neither...

Here is a small excerpt from an article on this with references that go back thousands of years

All armies will begin to march to the valley of Jezreel, on the plain of Esdraleon, near the ancient city of Megiddo. They will come to do battle no doubt, in part at least, over the dwindling petroleum resources in the Middle East.

From Prophecy the reserves in the ME are more finite than we think now and the ones discovered in Israel are foretold as well. Many have tried the path of “Olive Oil” being that mentioned in Scripture, but the use of it and its impact far beyond a good salad is impossible to miss. Israel has a massive seam of oil, most likely highly saturated sand based that was used in the time of the Tower of Babel to glue the bricks together (Asphalt component)

It seeps to the surface in Shinnar area indicating subterranean presence (as in other ME countries) of Oil.

Armageddon (Buh Bye many Muzzies) is to secure the fruit (spoils) of Israel. I know Vlad is a healthy dude but war for Olives? Sounds like a film Hollyweird would do...

Nope, it is Israels Oil reserves that will rise above all others in the regions “dwindling resources” and they will have the only juice (Oil)in the region of any real value or scale. This is the “Honey” that finally draws the bad goys in and then Zap!

Now Hamas will have even more incentive to remove them from Israel.

Wow. My Biblical scholar wife has been predicting this for sometime and that Iran and Russia would move to forcibly take these resources from Israel. And that it would be a horrible war for all involved but that it wouldn't end well for the aggressors.

The discovery of oil in the Golan Heights is a precursor to, and proximate cause of, the Battle of Armageddon.

Verrrrrry interesting!

Golan Heights is part of Syria, and has been occupied by Israel since 1967. The Golan Heights is internationally recognized as part of Syria.


Russia is doing what it needs to do, in order to keep Assad in power, that will form a strong relationship between the two.

Russia (and Israel) know that the US will no longer come to the aid of Israel. After Assad is secure, Russia will demand Israel return the Golan Heights to Syria. Soon after, the Golan Heights will be full of Russian oil companies.

This is just the latest in a number of oil and gas discoveries in Israel (mostly off-shore).
