SAUDIS
FIND MORE OIL AND GAS |
NEW
FIELD CONTAINING LIGHT OIL |
Since launching a major exploration program in 1989 to search for new hydrocarbon deposits in previously unexplored areas, Saudi Aramco has found 13 major oil and gas fields in the central part of the country and others in northwestern Saudi Arabia. Some of these new fields, including Raghib, Hilwah and Hizmah, contain light, sweet crudes ranging in gravity from 44 degrees API to 52.9 degrees API. Others contain high-grade gas and condensates. The discoveries in the central part of Saudi Arabia have supported studies indicating the existence of vast hydrocarbon deposits in other parts of Saudi Arabia besides the Eastern Province. These new discoveries have allowed Saudi Arabia to add to its proven hydrocarbon reserves even as production continues.
It may come as a hard pill to swallow for some of you jackboot Neo-Fundamentalists, but Israel is NOT the only Semitic nation God is watching over.
Genesis
17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall
a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is
ninety years old, bear?
18
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call
his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant,
and with his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard
thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply
him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear
unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Genesis
21:16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were
a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over
against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard
the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and
said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice
of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him
in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
God is still in the business of taking care of Ishmael's sons. Neither Abraham not Jehovah hated Ishmael. It is the late great prophecy nut cases who hate Ishmael. God keeps pouring the oil into the hands of the Arabs so that they will not be taken slave by the neo-colonialists of George Bush , the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.
If you want a riddle, here is one. There are some descendants of Ishmael's son Nebaioth. Here is Jehovah's promise to them.
Jeremiah
35:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2
Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into
the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Then
I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren,
and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
4
And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of
Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes,
which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the
door:
5
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and
cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
6
But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father
commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:
7 Neither
shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all
your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where
ye be strangers.
8
Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that
he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor
our daughters;
9
Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor
seed:
10
But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab
our father commanded us.
11
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land,
that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans,
and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
13
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to
my words? saith the LORD.
14
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink
wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's
commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking;
but ye hearkened not unto me.
15
I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending
them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings,
and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which
I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor
hearkened unto me.
16
Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of
their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto
me:
17
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will
bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I
have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not
heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
18
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father,
and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded
you:
19
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of
Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
Now, you prophecy groupies, who is the modern day descendant of Jonadab?
They are Semitic and they are in the line from Ishmael.
Go for it.
Now, here is the return of the Semitic family to Jehovah during the Kingdom rule of Messiah:
Isaiah
60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon
thee.
2
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people:
but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness
of thy rising.
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all
they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far,
and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
5 Then thou shalt
see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the
abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles
shall come unto thee.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee,
the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall
bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the
rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance
on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
All of these people are descendants of Abraham.
That God would bless them to this hour with oil and influence is just what we can expect of Jehovah-- He keeps His word.
