News: Will Bible lead to oil reserve under Israel?
Posted on Saturday, February 18 @ 08:07:13 PST by Virgil

Strange Stuff WorldNetDaily published a very strange story about a group of Americans who formed "Zion Oil" and are using out-of-context Old Testament scriptures to find huge reserves of oil in Israel, north of Tel Aviv. Such passages are: "Let Asher be blessed ... and let him dip his foot in oil" (Deuteronomy 33:24) and "Joseph is a fruitful bough by a well ... blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head. (Genesis 49: 22-26)

I suppose that its possible there is oil in the area. It would be interesting to see what would happen on the world scene if they did find oil.

As to the passages, it seems like a lot to rest your whole theory on just two passages. Sounds a bit like the rapture doctine if you aks me.

If it were to happen one wonders about Israel's day to day dependance on US aid. Would a wacking big oil discovery be enough? While I can't see it happening it may rebalance trade in the region.

The sad thing is that this verse is referring to olive oil not crude oil. Another example of newspaper theology.
