Greater Food Production for Negev War Contingency Evacuation Area!
May 16, 2006

In Archive Prophecy Update Number 9, which we issued more than five years ago, we outlined the current and future characteristics of Israel’s war contingency evacuation area, the Negev, as it related to sufficient food to feed an evacuated population. I have extracted Number 9 for your perusal since the Jerusalem Post Article, which follows it, outlines a scientific discovery that will make fish production even greater and will require much less water.

ARCHIVE PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 9
February, 2001
In our last update we revealed the fantastic amount of water God has stored deep under the Negev. It is in the Negev wilderness that between 1.6 and 1.9 million Jews will live during the last 3 and ½ years of the Tribulation Period. But what about food, could the Negev use this great surplus of water to produce enough food for this new population
? The truth is this: Israel is well on the way to doing this today!
Once Israel was able to tap into the billions of cubic feet of fossil waters under
the Negev, she immediately began to put it to use in production of a variety of botanical products.
It has caused the spread of hothouses, orchards, and fishponds from one end of the Negev to the other.
The Negev now grows tomatoes, olives, and melons along with other types of vegetation.
Pipelines from the fossil water sources, laid to fish farms, have generated some 15 fish farms in the Negev. Some farms have ponds up to 75 feet in length, which can contain up to 20,000 fish. The fish industry continues to grow and expand, as do all the Negev’s agricultural endeavors. Successful production of a crop of seedless, purple red grapes, will eventually lead to grape vines covering the barren Negev from Ramat Hanegev to Mitzpe Ramon.
This botanical development can only accelerate, and within three years there will be enough foodstuffs produced to sustain an initial influx of up to 1.9 million Jews for a few months.
The utilization of a part of this population explosion will dramatically increase food production by the end of their first year, and it will be sufficient to feed all the Negev residents for the rest of their stay.
However, there will be a period of insufficient food, but this same God, who provided the water and technology for developing the Negev, will also cover this need by the “they” in verse 6 of Revelation, chapter 12: “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that THEY should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” I was taught as a young man that the “they” were angels. I certainly do not preclude this possibility, because God has used angels in the past for such situations.
However, I believe I can prove from scripture what seems more reasonable, and will cover this in our next prophecy update.

‘Take the Fish out of Sea Water’
By Judy Siegel-Izkovich, THE JERUSALEM POST
May 15, 2006
A unique indoor filtration system that uses bacteria to raise marine fish has been developed by the Hebrew University’s Department of Animal Sciences – an environment friendly alternative to the aqua-culture cages commonly used for fish farming in Eilat and around the world, which damage coral reefs and coastal waters.
The experimental process, developed by Dutch-born Prof.
Jaap van Rijn and colleagues at the HU Faculty of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Quality in Rehovot, has been patented by the HU’s research and development arm, Yissum Ltd., and is being commercialized by a company near Karmiel.
Van Rijn told reporters visit ing the Rehovot campus on Monday that the patented technology allows the growth of certa
in kinds of bacteria in the vats, which do not have to be added to the water.
The new technique makes it possible to raise marine (as well as fresh water) fish in vats containing tap water, which does not have to be changed – it merely has to be topped off from time to time to replace some water lost by evaporation. The bacteria are allowed to develop naturally in the vats depending on the rate at which the water circulates.
As a result, it will be possible to grow one kilo of fish using only 40 liters of fresh water, instead of the 5,000 liters used in conventional outdoor fish ponds, van Rijn said, adding that a single one-meter tall vat with a two-meter diameter can be used to raise 400 kilos of fish. Ornamental sea fish made popular by the animated movie Finding Nemo and sought by aquarium owners, he said, can also be raised in the vats.
During the campus tour, HU faculty members also spoke of other developments, such as the use of cloning to accelerate the growth of trees, and inserting electrodes into sewage water to improve the cleaning of wastewater for irrigation.
A full report of the visit will appear on The Jerusalem Post’s Science & Health Page on Sunday, May 21.
