Tribulation Period Oil for Israel in the Negev Wilderness!

The remnant of the nation of Israel, the “woman” of Revelation 12:6, will flee into the Negrv Wilderness when Israel is driven out of the land from Dan to Beersheba by the Jihad attack of 10 Islamic nations.
Revelation 12:6 – And the wom an fled into the wilderness, where she h
ath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
A full exposition of what awaits the woman in the Negev Wilderness is found in our Archive Prophecy Update Numbers 5 to 12.
Oil shale rock, which is abundant in the Negev Wilderness, can now be transformed into oil and natural gas by a patented technique developed by an Israeli company.
Details of the endeavor are given in the Arutz Sheva article which follows. If approved, the plant is supposed to be in full production by 2011. This would be of tremendous importance to the remnant of Israel in the Negev Wilderness during the last 1260 days before Armageddon.

Haifa Company Transforms Rocks to Fuel

An Israeli company has patented a way to turn oil shale rock into high quality oil and natural gas – a project that may bring jobs to the Negev
and low-cost energy to the Jewish state.
The “Hom-Tov” process, brainchild of A.F.S.K. – Hom Tov CEO Yisrael Feldman, involves mixing the bitumen residue left over after refineries produce crude oil together with oil shale rock.
Refinery production leaves a minimum residue of ten percent bitumen – also known as asphalt – per barrel of crude oil. The substance is used today only for road work or waterproofing materials because it requires too much additional processing to be used for conventional fuel, but is a key component in the “Hom Tov” process.
According to Hebrew University Professor Ze’ev Aizenshtat, an energy resource expert, the method also results in a dry fuel byproduct that can be used to power the “Hom Tov” production plant, as well as provide additional electricity for the national grid.
Feldman told ISRAEL21c that his method was first introduced in 1992 as a way to extract combustible organic material which could then be used to produce oil at a fraction of the current refinery cost. In 1994, then-Energy Minister Moshe Shahal ordered further investigation in the hope that researchers could come up with a way to produce quality oil at rock-bottom prices. Shahal’s hopes were soon realized.
A Boon for the Negev
Backers of the project are now considering placing a production plant in the Negev, where oil shale is plentiful and has already been unearthed by phosphate plants that must dig past the rock in order to reach the lower minerals they seek.
The rock itself contains approximately 20 percent organic material and has been used as a direct fuel for more than a century in countries such as Brazil, China, Estonia and Russia.
The proposed Negev plant, depending on its size, will be able to produce up to 30 percent of Israel’s energy needs for the next 70 years, at an initial construction cost of $700 million.
Ultimately, the plant could produce oil that would cost only $25 per barrel, half the cost of today’s crude – a financial bonanza for the Haifa-based company. “We won’t see that price for oil again,” says Feldman.
There are other benefits that may ultimately be derived from the process as well.
Aizenshtat says the “Hom Tov” method may be used in the future to recycle industrial refuse such as tires, plastics and manufacturers’ waste from pesticide and fertilizer plants.
The price of the oil produced from refuse may be different, but the end result is the same – alternative fuel at a fraction of today’s prices.
“The world is looking for a replacement for oil supplies,” observes Shahal, an attorney who now serves as the project’s legal representative.
The company is already in the process of applying for construction and mining permits. If approved, the plant is expected to begin full production by 2011. The fracking statistics have been in an all-time high, and the company has vowed to proceed with caution.

The importance of such a source of oil and natural gas would be a God-send to the one-third of Israel that survives in the Negev Wilderness.
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
If the number of Jews in Israel was six million when the last 1260 days of the tribulation period began, then some two million would survive IN THE FLESH and flee into the Negev.
Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should NO FLESH be saved: but for THE ELECT’S SAKE those days shall be shortened.
The one-third that survives is represented by the woman Israel in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 12:6 – 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.
The woman Israel represents one-third (two million) of the Israelis that will flee into the Negev wilderness when the antichrist attacks Israel from the north. They are the “elect” of Matthew 24:21,22. There will be a much smaller remnant among them that represents the Seed of the woman Israel, the man child of Revelation 12:5, who is Jesus Christ.
The smaller remnant will number 144,000, and they are the spiritual remnant of the Seed of the woman, the man child Christ Jesus.
Revelation 12:5 – And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
The remnant of the Seed (Jesus Christ), will be in the Negev witnessing to the woman (Israel) prior to the blowing of
the seventh trump.
They are found in Revelation 12:17.
Revelation 12:17 – And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with THE REMNANT OF HER SEED, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The remnant of Jesus Christ will be caught up to heaven on the blowing of the seventh trump. After their departure the woman’s remnant, left behind on the earth, will believe what had been testified to it, and will call upon the name of the Lord after the rapture. The remnant of the Seed (Jesus Christ) has his testimony, and they keep the commandments of God. They (144,000 Jews) were all saved and sealed before the last 1260 days began.
Revelation 7:4 – And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
And the 144,000 strong Jewish remnant of Christ is found in heaven after the seventh trumpet rapture in Revelation 14:1-6.
Revelation 14:1 – And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
