David's Comment: Calling All Boycotters
Genesis 12:3   I will bless those who bless thee, I will curse those who make light of you

As I wrote in last week's comment, to appease the Muslims, most of the rest of the world is increasingly turning against Israel.  In a futile attempt to punish and harm Israel financially,  universities, trade unions, business corporations, media corporations and even professing Bible believing Christian denominations are already, or threatening to,  BOYCOTT Israel made products and Israeli organisations.

When I first heard these calls for BOYCOTTS just after the Gaza war of 2009, I was very concerned for the future of Israel's economy. But I need not have been concerned.  In the same week as the God haters were making their anti-Semitic voices heard, we received news of a very large natural gas and oil find 50 miles off the coast of Haifa.  Upon hearing that news, my heart leapt for joy and I said  "thank you LORD" as I realised the God of Israel had everything under control and Israel didn't need to worry about the BOYCOTTS. However a few weeks later we were told the report of the size of the gas and oil field was wrong  -  it was BIGGER than first thought !  A few weeks later we were told they were wrong again  -  it is even BIGGER !   Now they are saying it is indeed one of the largest fields of natural gas ever discovered.

It is now being reported that there is 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and about 4  billion barrels of oil under the sea-bed off the coast of Haifa and Hadera.   They also recently announced the discovery of an oil field in the centre of the country and another oil field under the sand of the desert in southern Israel.  There could be several billion barrels of oil in each of these locations.  Now we are hearing reports of the discovery of a massive deposit of oil shale.  That is a kind of rock that contains oil inside of it.   To extract the oil from the rock usually involves a process that is very damaging to the environment and requires enormous quantities of water, which Israel doesn't have.  However it seems Israel has invented a new process which separates the oil from the shale while it is still deep underground, eliminating pollution and environmental damage, and rather than using water, actually produces water.  It was first reported that there are 4 billion barrels of oil in the shale, but now they say it could be 250 billion barrels.  Israel may have as much if not more oil than Saudi Arabia -  a fact that will have a major political impact in the Middle East and further afield.

In the next few years, Israel will not only become energy self-sufficient, Israel will become a major energy exporter.   Our God Reigns !!!  -  and it seems He is preparing to make His nation of Israel a force to be reckoned with in every way as He prepares to re-establish His terrestial Kingdom headquarters in Jerusalem, the undivided capital city of Israel.  Not the capital of Palestine and not the shared capital of a  "Two State Solution" !
 
So come on ALL you BOYCOTTERS  -  be my guest  - BOYCOTT Israel !!!   But if you are going to do so, please do it properly!   GIVE UP your cell phones,  GIVE UP your computers, GIVE UP your memory sticks,  GIVE UP  most of your medicines and medical imaging equipment,  GIVE UP your remote controls,  GIVE UP much of your  music, movies & literature, and go back to live in the Dark Ages.   Come on now Mr & Mrs BOYCOTTER - dont be a two faced hypocrite - if it comes from Israel or the Jewish people GIVE IT UP !.   Better still REPENT and ask the God of Israel for forgiveness and start to bless Israel instead.

Now to all the faithful friends of Israel   ...........  the best is yet to come.  You have been grafted in to the Olive Tree of Israel  (Rom 11:17) and will forever be a fellow citizen (Eph 2:19) of the only country that has any hope for the future.  (Jer 30:11, Joel 3:1, Isaiah 60:12)

To see just how awesome Israel's financial future is  watch this  .......  http://www.out-of-zion.com/audio/Hal%20Lindsay.wmv

So lets say  "Hodu l'Adonai ki tov " (Give thanks to the Lord for he is good)   Lets continue to pray for the fullfilment of Israel's restoration which is preparation for the re-establishment of the Kingdom of God on the Earth.  It is going to be GLORIOUS  -  the Royal wedding of all Royal weddings !!!

The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to exist on the land given to the Jewish people by the God of Israel.  Lets pray that Israel will turn back to their God.  Do not be silent, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Lets also pray for that breakthrough to the Muslims,  and please remember to pray for all of the soldiers in the IDF -they are defending and fighting for the Kingdom of God.

Shabbat Shalom and Hag Sameach   .... David & Josie
