Zion Oil and Project Joseph

Christian Fundamentalism

God - you'd think he'd have better things to do - has told John Brown where to drill for oil in Israel. The clue to petroleum wealth is to be found in Deuteronomy XXXIII, 24.

When oilmen go prospecting they usually put their faith in geologists to help their risky ventures. Mr John Brown prefers to trust God and the Bible to make him and the State of Israel rich. ...

No matter that little oil had been discovered there. Mr Brown has persuaded hundreds of other American evangelical Christians to help him to raise the £3.6 million required for “Project Joseph”. He believes it is his life’s mission to unearth Israel’s oil wealth, secure the future of “God’s covenanted people”, and lay the ground for the Messiah’s return. ...

When Mr Brown superimposed a map of the 12 tribes of Israel on the modern-day Holy Land, he decided the most likely spot was the site near Maanit kibbutz, near Nazareth.

Lo, Here Come Oilmen From The West

they may be drilling on the wrong side of the valley. Mt. Gilboa will be the pay dirt according to the Bible code.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Zion Oil and Project Joseph. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
