Facts & Truth about Israel. Israel's Purpose, Borders, & Future in Prophecy – God's People, God's Land. It is sometimes said that “Israel is famously low on natural and that the economic stability is largely due to its advanced high-tech sector, link. The off-shore Levant gas field could eventually provide Israel with 50 to 200 years of gas at current levels of use, encouraging the construction of a gas pipeline to Europe. When it comes to oil, Israel has one of the world’s largest deposits of shale oil, with a potential of some 250 billion barrels in the Shfela basin. Israel’s mining sector extracts minerals from the Dead Sea (for export via Israel’s southern port of Eilat) and extracts millions of tons of aggregate from Judea & Samaria for the building industry. 2: Israel’s proved gas reserves. In 2010 Israel discovered at least 16 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas in the Eastern Mediterranean, link, link. 1), hold the vast majority of Israel’s gas reserves, with more than enough to feed domestic demand, bring down Israel’s electricity costs and have enough gas for export. The most significant find is the Leviathan field, and in 2014 the Israeli government approved plans to supply the Palestinian Authority with natural gas from the Leviathan field once production commences, link. As of 2014, Israel’s proved reserves of natural gas were 10. Looking to the future: Recent discoveries show that Israel is potentially rich in natural resources. The Leviathan could provide $230 billion in gross domestic product to Israel over the life of its exports and more than 20 years of domestic supply, link. It is estimated that Israel may discover 50-200 Tcf of natural gas (and possibly 500-3000 million barrels of oil i. Some claim the Levant Basin gas field could eventually provide Israel with 50 to 200 years of gas at current levels of use, link. New Gas Pipeline: Israel to Europe. December 2018: Cyprus, Greece, Israel and Italy signed a memorandum of understanding to build the world’s longest underwater natural gas pipeline to supply Europe. It will run from Israel’s off-shore gas fields via Cyprus and Greece to Italy, link. Clearly, this is not good news for Russia, and may be a factor in the coming invasion of Israel. But ever since the Leviathan discovery, Israel has faced serious regulatory and political challenges, link. Turkey and Lebanon have challenged Israel’s right to the reserves, and the Israel/Lebanon maritime border in the Levant Basin is disputed (see map) with Lebanon claiming Israel is violating international law, link. Even so, it is claimed about 45% of the Levant Basin falls within Israel’s land and economic waters, link. Shfela lowlands, Israel. 3: Israel’s shale oil deposits. As of 2014, Israel’s estimated proved reserves of oil were 11. Shale Oil: In 2009 an Israeli geologist discovered oil embedded in rock in the ground southwest of Jerusalem. In fact, it turned out that Israel has one of the world’s largest deposits of shale oil, with a potential of some 250 billion barrels in the Shfela basin, link, link. The basin spans Israel and Jordan and shale deposits have been found to the south of Jerusalem, and outside of the West Bank region, see map. Although expensive to extract, Israel is now pioneering shale oil technology. oilfield technologies will be the key to delivering a new era of onshore oil in Israel” [Harold Vinegar, former Shell Oil Company Chief Scientist]. Israel finds oil in the Southern Golan Heights. Afek, an Israeli subsidiary of Genie Energy (a US oil company) say the oil strata thickness is ten times the normal world strata thickness, implying a potential production of billions of barrels. This could easily provide all Israel’s oil needs, link, link. But this area is disputed: Israel claims the oil and ignores claims that it legally belongs to Syria, link. Israel only gained the Golan Heights in response to unprovoked Arab attack in June 1967. The combined forces of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon (and later Iraq) aimed to ‘wipe Israel off the map’, but failed. Will this dispute over huge oil deposits provoke the prophesied Gog-Magog invasion of Israel from the north? The Golan Heights or mountains could well be the battle field (Ezek 39. Following thousands of years of evaporation, the Dead Sea now contains some 45,000 million tons of salts rich in minerals, link. This makes the Dead Sea the largest concentration of minerals in Israel. From a health point of view, minerals extracted from the water (such as calcium, magnesium and potassium) are said to improve the metabolism, stimulate circulation and aid in the natural repair of body cells. Some minerals are known to have unique qualities, giving a feeling of relaxation, nourishing the skin, activating the blood systems, healing rheumatic diseases and metabolic disorders. The mining sector of Israel extracts magnesium, bromides, phosphates, potassium, calcium and chlorides of sodium, all of which are important for the manufacture of fertilizers and explosives, link. Much of this is extracted from the Dead Sea and exported via Israel’s southern port of Eilat. In 2010 Israel’s share of the world’s output of monopotassium phosphate was over 40%, link, and in 2013 her share of the world’s bromine production amounted to 32%, link. Israel’s mining and quarrying sector supplies about 50 million tons of raw material per year for building and road construction, link. The highlands of Israel and the West Bank are primarily underlain by forms of limestone, and this is quarried for building purposes. Many of the buildings in Jerusalem use forms of white, pink, yellow and tawny limestone (known collectively as Jerusalem stone). Gold and Diamonds: Gold has been found in Israel since biblical times, and a survey around 1950 claimed that King Solomon’s mines had been discovered in Southern Israel, link. Today, Israel’s natural resources of gold and silver are being estimated by the Dynasty Goldfield Project and the Jerusalem Gold Project, link. Although Israel does not produce rough diamonds, the country is one of the world’s leading diamond cutting, polishing and trading centers. Israel’s National Water Carrier. Rainfall Statistics: Israel is a dry land with no large replenishing rivers (like the Nile for Egypt). So, until recently, Israel has been totally dependent upon natural rainfall. In the Golan Heights region (which supplies the Jordan and Lake Galilee) typical annual rainfall is 600-900 mm dropping to around 500 mm in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. So, overall, Israel’s total annual renewable natural sources of fresh water are well below the UN definition of water poverty (which is obviously population dependent). In Israel the renewable fresh water/capita was 327 cubic meters in 1962, falling to just 91 in 2014, link. Clearly, Israel’s renewable fresh water is at a premium and existing resources are well over used. National Water Carrier: As the statistics show, Israel’s surface water is concentrated mainly in the north and east of the country – notably Lake Galilee – which is fed primarily from the Jordan River system. In fact, 80% of Israel’s natural water is in the north and so the  National Water Carrier system conveys water from Lake Galilee southwards. Desalination: Today, to boost natural rainfall, Israel makes extensive use of desalination plants, reuse of treated sewage for agriculture, computerized early-warning systems for leaks, and computerized drip irrigation and As of 2016, Israel had five desalination plants, the largest (Sorek) producing over 600 million cubic meters of water/year, link. Watergen, an Israel-based company uses humidity in the air to create clean and fresh drinking water. The desalination method Israel uses in its largest plants is called reverse osmosis (RO), link. At Israel’s largest desalination plant two enormous pipes carry in water from the Mediterranean Sea. After the water has passed through the RO membranes it is fit to drink and used in Israeli homes. When Israel’s natural resources of gas and oil are developed, they will bring Israel to energy will even enable Israel to be a net energy exporter, link, link. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the gas “a gift from nature” that could earn Israel $60 billion in tax and royalties. A gift from Some see these natural resources as part of God’s future blessing of Israel. Before Moses died, he blessed the tribes of Israel and some of these blessings involved blessing of the sea and the land. Rain: Egypt has the Nile and Iraq has the Euphrates but Israel has no large replenishing rivers like this. Apart from modern desalination plants, Israel (and the River Jordan) is largely dependent upon natural provision from the sky – rain. Israel is dependent on “the heavens” in a very real and practical way. It seems that God chose this dry land so that the people of Israel (His chosen people) had to look to Him for such provision. The apostle Paul acknowledged that God provided Old Testament Israel with “rain from heaven” for their crops (Acts 14. Similarly, when it comes to the future (Millennial Israel), the God of Israel promises literal showers of blessings from heaven so that abundant crops will grow:. Can someone deny this fact that there is no God like the God of israel? Who keep his promise to thousand of his generation and to them that fear him( gift from nature). We would like to know if it would be possible to use your sketch of Millennial map of Israel in our forthcoming book Sovereign Lion? We would certainly cite your organization. Certainly, please use it. Plundering Israel's Islamic War on Israel. The Bible speaks of the coming Gog-Magog war against Israel, where Gog and Magog are often interpreted to be the modern Russian states and Islamic nations, including Iran. They come to "take spoil" from the riches of Israel (Ezek 38. Israel - A Blessed Nation. In practical terms, despite an arid environment, Israel now produces abundant food that goes beyond her borders:. Agriculture in Northern Israel Image: Creative Commons Public Domain. The Arava Desert, SE Israel. The Arava is Israel’s long, eastern valley between the Dead Sea and Eilat, It is inhabited by a string of small farming villages (many of them kibbutzim) and although it is mainly desert, 90% of Arava's residents are successful farmers! About 800 families live in seven Arava communities and 600 local farmers are involved in a variety of farming pursuits, including biological agriculture and fish farming. Israel's Natural Water. Lake Kinneret Sea of Galilee, IsraelImage: אילנה שקולניק ilana shkolnik [CC BY 2. The Kinneret basin is the largest groundwater basin in Israel. These springs together with waters from the River Jordan make Lake Kinneret Israel’s largest fresh water reservoir, link. Israel's National Water Carrier System near the Sea of Galilee Image: Ariel Palmon [GFDL or CC BY 3. Israel's national water carrier consists of a system of giant pipes, open canals, tunnels, reservoirs and large scale pumping stations. Go Deeper into the Mysteries of Israel. But when Israel became divided into northern and southern kingdoms (the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah) the term ‘Jew’ came to apply to all those in the Kingdom of Yehudah (Judah). The city here is the New Jerusalem described symbolically in Revelation 21. We see this in his attempts to redefine marriage for example, and in his attempts to replace national Israel with the church (Replacement Theology). 18,19 I testify and warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book [its predictions, consolations, and admonitions]: if anyone adds [anything] to them, God will add to him the plagues (afflictions, calamities) which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from or distorts the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away [from that one] his share from the tree of life and from the holy city (new Jerusalem), which are written in this book. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. In the time of Moses God made such a contract with the people (nation) of Israel, although the Bible refers to it as as God made a contract with Israel at Mount Sinai via His servant Moses. Moses was instructed to spell out God’s contract to the Israelites:. In biblical terminology this contract between God and Israel is often referred to as the Mosaic Covenant. Israel had to be obedient to God’s requirements in order to receive His blessings. As history shows, the people of Israel strayed from their promise on Mount Sinai. As discussed, Israel failed and broke the contract, and so in the New Testament era the contract was offered to Gentiles – namely the church. That said, in these end times, a remnant of Israel is once more fulfilling her mission, together with the contracted Gentiles. We see the establishment of the State of Israel. As a result, the nation of Israel is once more being blessed in the country (abundant agriculture), blessed in the city (technological innovation) and blessed in the sea (discovery of large natural resources). That is why his descendants, the Israelites, are blessed. Today, Israel has been restored as a nation and is blessed with progress, protection, resources and intelligence. In fact, the number of Jews in Israel today has increased by over 7,000 percent in just 100 years! . The people of Israel are once more becoming God’s witness to the nations. Israel’s King David asked a similar question. The Gentile nations at last acknowledge Jerusalem (Zion) as “the Holy City” (Isa 52. “The Gentiles will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn … the sons of foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you … the sons of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel” (Isa 60. Millennial Jerusalem will also be called “the LORD is there” (Ezek 48. When Christ returns the geology of the area will be totally changed and the Mount of Olives just east of Jerusalem splits into two (enlarge image). It is well known that there is a geological fault line running east-west through the Mount of Olives and just south of Jerusalem, link. Could it be that present-day Jerusalem is moved north to sit high above this valley? Ezekiel 40. 10 suggest that the millennial Jerusalem is elevated above a plain. Despite the intervention of the God of Israel to protect her, two end-time wars against Israel must surely take their toll? And (perhaps between these wars) Israel also goes through a time of distress or referred to in Dan 12. This is the severe persecution of Israel under the final world government and world ruler, link – the time of trouble’ (Jer 30. But throughout Israel’s history, despite 3,000 years of persecution, God always leaves a remnant of Israel as His witness. So how many survive these onslaughts on Israel?. So it is this one-third remnant of Israel that survives these times and comes through, refined as silver and tested as gold, to be God’s worthy servant in the millennial reign of Christ, link. Boycotts are social protests with the aim of changing Israeli government policy through economic damage. For instance, the global BDS campaign (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) aims to create economic and political pressure on Israel concerning (so-called) land occupation and Palestinian rights. Divestment is where investors refrain from investing in Israeli companies or in companies that trade with Israel, and consumers boycott Israeli products, especially products from Israeli settlements in so-called Palestinian But International law firmly states that Israel is not in link. Israel is still prospering, with the highest average living standards in the Middle East, the highest density of high-tech start-up companies in the world (high-tech exports c$19bn a year) and a lower Government debt to GDP than the USA or the UK. But those who boycott Israel should heed the biblical warning: . Before Moses died he blessed the tribes of Israel and some of these blessings involved blessing of the sea and the land. Israel may be seeing these blessings today (enlarge map). In 2014, Israel’s proved reserves of natural gas were 10. 1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), and it is estimated that Israel may discover up to 200 Tcf. Also, Israel has one of the world’s largest deposits of shale oil, with a potential of some 250 billion barrels in the Shfela basin. The Dead Sea contains some 45,000 million tons of salts rich in minerals which are exploited by Israel’s mining sector. Israel’s past and future borders. Israel’s current borders are hotly contested as governments insist on ignoring the true legal position. Israel’s eastern border is of particular concern since it involves the West Bank. In the succeeding Millennial Age on earth, Israel’s borders will be firmly established by the God of Israel. In fact, these future borders are almost identical to the borders of ancient Israel given to Moses in Num 34. Ancient Israel’s eastern border ‘went down along the Jordan, ending at the Salt Sea’ (Num 34. Israel’s future borders are clearly defined in Ezek 47. Some 80% of today’s Jews in Israel follow the Jewish scriptures in the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) in some way, ranging from fundamentalism to loose Jewish practice. This is the fundamental reason why religious Jews claim that the Land of Canaan (modern Israel) is their land, covenanted to them by God. It is quite remarkable how Israel has survived attacks from overwhelming invading armies. Certainly, the evidence to date is that each time Arab nations attack Israel, they are defeated and their end-state seems worse than their first. By the end of the 1949 War of Independence the fledgling Israeli forces had defeated five invading Arab armies. In 1967 the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon (and later Iraq) attacked Israel, but were defeated in just six days despite the huge Arab superiority in armour, aircraft and troops. In October 1973 Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel (the Yom Kippur War) but were eventually defeated. As to the future, at the end of the age all nations will gather against Israel in an attempt to destroy her – but again God intervenes. Israel’s enemies should take note of God’s promises to Israel:. Image: Israeli tank, 1973. The Hebrew term describes the relatively recent massive influx of Jews to their ancestral land, Israel. In 1915 there were just 83,000 Jews in Palestine (modern Israel) but this increased to over 6 million Jews by 2015, corresponding to an amazing 7400% increase! The picture shows the arrival of Jewish immigrants to Israel in 2007. This mass migration is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy – that towards the end of this age and just before Christ returns, God will call the children of Israel out of the nations and once more put them in their own land:. Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone … and bring them into their own land (Ezek 37. Prophecy paints a picture of a world at peace (no war) with Jerusalem (Zion) as the focal point since Christ dwells there. Of His sanctuary near Jerusalem the LORD says:. “This is the place of My feet, where I shall dwell in the midst of the children of Israel” (Ezek 43. Millennial life around Jerusalem is described in some detail. Nations will willingly go up to Jerusalem to worship the LORD and listen to His teaching (Mic 4. The Millennial Age on earth provides a forum for the completion of God’s unconditional covenants with Israel – the Abrahamic, Davidic, Palestinian and New Covenants. Specifically, during the millennium, Israel will come a great nation, Christ will establish His kingdom and sit on David’s throne, the tribes of Israel will have been fully restored to the land promised to Abraham, and God will write His Law on the hearts of both Jew and Gentile. After some 2,500 years of dispersion amongst the nations, Israel will again take on her intended role in the world:. So the restoration of Israel will be a sign or witness to the nations that the God of Israel, the God of the Bible, the only true God, loves mankind. In fact, during the Millennial Age God actually comes to dwell with Israel and the nations through Jesus the Messiah at Jerusalem:. The seven-branched lampstand Menorah) the purpose of Israel both now and in the Millennium. Future wars against Israel will be different from previous wars. Whilst some claim that the 6-Day war in June 1967 was miraculous in that Israel overcame huge superiority in armour, aircraft and troops, future wars will certainly be unique. These wars will directly glorify the God of Israel as He openly defeats the attacking forces. And during the final war against Israel prophecy says that God will again clearly intervene to protect His people:. A primary reason for the existence of Israel is that she is God’s “witness and servant” in the world (Isa 43. At the very end of this age 144,000 are drawn from twelve tribes of Israel and sealed for their protection (Rev 7. The remnant of Israel who enter the millennial age with Christ continue this witness and servant hood, and some are sent to the nations to declare God’s glory (Isa 66. Still others become priests and keep charge of the (new) Jewish temple in Jerusalem (Isa 66. Prophecy indicates that there will be several major wars against Israel in the near future, just before Christ returns to rule the earth as King (Zech 14. The so-called Gog-Magog war in Ezek 38-39 results in the attackers being defeated by the intervention of the God of Israel, rather than by the armies of Israel (Ezek 39. They fall on the open fields and mountains (Heb – hill country) of Israel and fail to reach Jerusalem (Ezek 38. There will be an invasion of Israel at the very end of the age, with Jerusalem the objective (Zech 14. Bible prophecy describes how the increasing political bias of western nations, and the increasing aggression of Arab-Muslim nations finally leads to another major war against Israel. A future invasion of northern Israel is strongly indicated in Ezek 38 and Ezek 39. The countries involved appear to be mainly the Islamic nations surrounding Israel, possibly led by Iran and Russia. The invasion could be imminent given the present alliance and Iran’s declared hatred of Israel. At the very end of this age prophecy indicates that all nations (Gentile and Islamic) will attempt a final invasion of Israel:. “I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle” (Zech 14. 2) “I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone … though all nations of the earth are gathered against it” (Zech 12. Both invasions are defeated by the God of Israel. Israel is the central player in that spiritual world. She is God’s chosen witness in the world and it is through Israel that Christ came (He was of the tribe of Judah) to provide redemption for the world. In fact, the spiritual aggression shown to Israel (and to the true followers of Christ) will intensify towards the end of this age (Rev 12. The problem is that Israel is now occupying land previously conquered by Islam. Muslims conquered The Levant (which embraces all of Israel and much more, link) in the 7th century and the land of Israel remained in Muslim hands (apart from the brief Crusader period) until liberated from the Muslim Turks by the British in 1917. As the 1988 Hamas Charter states, “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it”. The term means ‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’, so the destruction of Israel and the of an Islamic caliphate in the land of Israel is the declared objective of militant Islam, link. Fundamentalist Christians believe that modern Israel, and not the church, will be central in world affairs at the close of this age. They believe that prophecy shows that Israel will become (if not already) God’s main witness in the world. the church and not Israel is God’s main witness today, link. They believe that since God rejected Israel then the Christian church is now God’s chosen people, not the Jewish people. This view is of course incompatible with Christ’s teaching, namely, that the gospel (as spread by the church) should be first conveyed to God’s people, the house of Israel (Mat 10. The result of such unbiblical teaching is that the church takes the world’s view and essentially rejects modern-day Israel, and so pays little attention to end-time prophecy about Israel. This is spearheaded by the World Council of Churches (WCC) which has called on member churches (Anglican, Methodist …) to support an international boycott of Israeli settlement produce and services, link. Without doubt there is an overall bias in the UN against Israel. Between 1955 and 2013 there were 77 UN resolutions against Israel, and just one against the Palestinians, link. In 2015 the UN General Assembly adopted 20 resolutions against Israel, but only 3 against the rest of the world [UN Watch]. How can Israel be so wrong?. Israel is often accused of being the aggressor in conflicts, whereas Israel claims she wages defensive war after provocation, link. Resolutions accuse Israel of settling in Palestinian and ignore Article 80 of the UN Charter which upholds the right of Jews to settle anywhere west of the Jordan! Other resolutions refer to the on-going Palestinian refugee problem, but many see this now as a political tool by Arab nations, link, link. From the rise of Zionism to the present day, Israel has not been welcomed on the world scene. There is a majority bias against Israel from the UN, the media, NGOs, and the man in the street. Why? After all, Israel is just some 8 million people living on land the size of Wales! Here’s the real reason (although you probably won’t agree):. Israel is a special nation chosen by God to be His witness in the world and to bring redemption to the world through Christ, link. Israel is ‘a light to the nations’ (Isa 49. Satan knows all this and end-time prophecy underscores the attempts by Satan to eliminate Israel:. “the dragon (Satan) … persecuted the woman (Israel) who gave birth to the male child (Rev 12. This hatred was evident in the holocaust and subsequent wars against Israel, and culminates in all nations turning against Israel at Armageddon (Zech 14. Jerusalem Old City at Dawn. Image: Free Israel Photos. King David conquered Jerusalem in 1052 BC and today, in the Old City of Jerusalem (enlarge image), lies the rock (Mount Moriah) where Abraham offered up Isaac for sacrifice to God around 1800 BC (Gen 22. The deep significance of this to Jewish, Christian and Muslim beliefs makes Jerusalem one of the most contested pieces of real estate in the world. This is particularly true for orthodox Jews who believe that Jerusalem is center-stage of the land of Canaan promised to descendants, and for Christians who believe that Jesus was crucified and resurrected in the city, and will soon return to the Mount of Olives just east of the Old City. Given these historic and certain future events, we can see that the various claims on Jerusalem are actually the outworking of a spiritual battle over Jerusalem, a battle between truth and error, between the God of Israel and spiritual forces of darkness. So, on the one hand we see the Vatican demanding control over Jerusalem’s religious sites, link, the UN stating that Jerusalem should be the capital of both Israel and Palestine, and Palestinians claiming Jerusalem as their capital. No wonder Jerusalem will be the location of the most epic battle of history! More …. All the rights to this country, to the land of Israel – especially Judea and Samaria – are Jewish … but everyone who lives in the country should have all the rights of the country” [Ariel Sharon, April 1989]. “The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. “We must constantly repeat that the root of the conflict is the very existence of the State of Israel” [Benjamin Netanyahu, 2012] . The Bible instructs the people of Israel how they should treat foreigners (non-Jews). Old Testament Israel was commanded to love foreigners (Deut 10. Unfortunately, as long as Arab countries refuse to recognize Israel and continue to attack her, such cohabitation would seem to be impossible. But Israel will be at peace with her neighbours in the Millennium!. Most of the western world aims for a two-state solution to the problem. “We will never accept a Palestinian state without Jerusalem as its capital” [Mahmoud Abbas, May, 2011]. The problem here is that Israel has already declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel, and this is compounded by the Palestinian leadership which does not even recognize the Jewish State:. will not recognize Israel as Jewish state” [Abbas, 2014]. So, through Arab aggression, Israel temporarily lost land mandated to her through the 1922 Mandate for Palestine, and this was only regained in the 1967 6-day war. The Green Line is not therefore Israel’s legal border, link, and all of western Palestine, from the Jordan to the Mediterranean remains legally open to Jewish settlement under the original 1922 Mandate. Under the 1995 Oslo Accords II, the West Bank was divided into three areas (A, B, and C) and within these areas the Palestinian and Israeli authorities have different levels of control. Area A is under full control of the Palestinian Authority, Area B is under Palestinian civil control and shared Palestinian and Israeli security control, and Area C (62% of the West Bank) is under full Israeli control. Israel’s strongest ally, the US, provides a diplomatic shield for her at the United Nations. This protects Israel’s desire to maintain the status quo and refrain from reaching an accommodation with the Palestinians. Traditionally, the UK government has had good relations with Israel, including good intelligence cooperation, and has been viewed as one of the world’s friendliest countries to Israel, link. In recent years, India has expressed the desire to “deepen and develop” ties with Israel, and some see India as best friend in South Asia”. Currently, Israel has strong support from some western NGO’s like Freedom House. There are 21 governmental and entities (including the EU) that financially support Israeli NGOs, link, although some of these are politically biased and represent the interests of foreign governments, link. In contrast to other Middle Eastern countries, Israel has a western-style democracy. Whilst not perfect, this means that Israelis of all ethnic groups and religious beliefs, including Arab-Israelis, can actively participate in the election process, and all votes cast are equal in weight. Also, Israel is one of the few places in the Middle East where Arab women may vote. The principle of the generality of the elections ensures the active right of every Israeli citizen, who is at least 18 years old, to vote and the right of every Israeli citizen, who is at least 21 years old, to be elected. Israel is considered by third parties to be the only country in the region in that there is a climate of respect for civil liberties, freedom of expression, significant independent civic life, an independent media, and a military under civilian rule, link. The Knesset, Jerusalem. The Israeli government resides in Jerusalem. This is where Israel’s Parliament (the Knesset) stands and legislates and where the Prime Minister, the President and the Cabinet have their offices (enlarge image). The location is politically sensitive in that the international community regard Jerusalem as part of both Israel and Palestine, and even that Jerusalem is ‘not part of Israel’ [US Supreme Court, 2015]. Israel is governed by a western-style multiparty parliamentary system. Photo: Dror Feitelson Pikiwiki Israel [CC BY 2. Bible prophecy over end-time Israel speaks of great blessings on the land. Over the past 100 years Israel has engineered a national water carrier system and desalination plants, and she drains water from large aquifers under the desert. For this reason, in 2014 the Chief Rabbinate of Israel urged the public to begin saying a special prayer daily to ask God to bless Israel with abundant rain (enlarge image). All over Israel, people now recite this prayer. Israel’s climate change is certain since her God is faithful to His promises. In the last days God promises Israel: . Israel’s National Water Carrier. Some 80% of Israel’s natural water is in the north and the National Water Carrier (NWC) system conveys water from Lake Galilee southwards. But with a rapidly growing population, Israel’s total annual renewable natural sources of fresh water are well below the UN definition of water poverty. So today Israel is meeting much of its water needs by purifying seawater from the Mediterranean and some 80% of domestic water in Israeli cities comes from desalinated water (the desalination facilities are connected to the NWC). Israel also reuses treated sewage, and computerized drip irrigation and for agriculture. Under the 1995 Oslo II Accord, Israel continues to supply agreed water amounts to Palestinian areas. In 2012, per capita water use was 150 MCM (million cubic meters) for Israelis and 140 MCM for Palestinians. New immigrants embarked upon an extensive program of afforestation, and since 1900 almost 250 million sub-tropical trees have been planted in all regions of Israel. Over half of Israel’s saline soil is arid or semi-arid and only 20% is arable. Even so, Israeli farmers have come a long way since the Zionist pioneers began clearing rock-strewn fields and draining the swampland. Since Israel’s establishment in 1948, the country has almost tripled the territory used for farming and production has multiplied 16 times. Israel is officially in ‘water and so agriculture makes extensive use of treated sewage, computerized early-warning systems for leaks, and computerized drip irrigation and The descendants of Jacob (Israel) were the twelve tribes of Israel and they settled in the Promised Land of Canaan (enlarge map). In today’s terms, they settled mainly in the area currently claimed by Israel, including the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights, although the tribes of Benjamin, Gad, Reuben and part of Manasseh settled east of the Jordan. This settlement aligned with the boundaries God gave Israel at the time:. Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population in the world, and she has the highest density of start-up companies in the world. Recall that when Israel obeys her God then she is specially blessed:. Prophecy states that regathered Israel will go through a time of ‘great and distress as the world system persecutes Israel. Many suffer, but a remnant (one-third) survives (Zech 13. In the early 20th century the land of Israel was a mix of many peoples representing some 50 languages and there was no common Arab identity. 3 million people in Israel (2015) the demographic mix is: Jewish (75%), Arab (21%), Others, including Christian (4%). 2 million Jews in Israel (2015), the demographic is: Orthodox (20%), traditional (38%), secular (42%). So who are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? They are of course the twelve tribes descended from Jacob (whose name was changed by God to Israel). They were Hebrew Israelites. Since these tribes will once more take up their role as a witness to the nations during the Millennium (Ezek 37, Ezek 40-48), it follows that they must be amongst those who are returning to the State of Israel today. In Luke 21 He said ‘look at the fig tree (Israel) and ‘all the trees’ (the Gentile nations) and so observe the signs of the times. He implied that Israel will be the vortex of the nations at the end of this age and the sign of His soon return. Over the past 100 years the nation and people of Israel have come to prominence on the world scene. Around 922 BC the twelve tribes of Israel split into a southern kingdom (called ‘The House of Judah’, embracing Judea and Jerusalem) and a northern kingdom comprising ten tribes and called ‘The House of Israel’, or simply The house of Israel and the house of Judah had broken God’s covenant (Jer 11. And (the Lord) will lift up a standard for the nations, and assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth (Isa 11. 12) I will take the children of Israel from among the nations … and bring them into their own land (Ezek 37. When was this to happen? Israel was to return and seek God after the gospel had been spread to the Gentile nations (Rom 11. The twentieth century saw both the evangelization of the nations and God’s chosen people returning to Israel. According to the Bible, Israel is indeed a special nation, chosen by God to bless mankind and to make a name for Himself. “And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went … to make a name for Himself” (2 Sam 7. Israel led to the Messiah, Jesus, and prophecy indicates that the land and people of Israel will be used to glorify God in the sight of the nations at the end of the age and in the age to come. Under God’s call, Abram (later called Abraham) migrated from the city of Ur sometime between 1900 and 1750 BC to God’s appointed land, Canaan (today’s Israel). History shows that God had a special task for Jacob and his descendants and He later changed Jacob’s name to (Gen 32. The etymology of the name Israel is not clear, although Gen 32. The history of Israel confirms this thought; Jacob’s descendants, the twelve tribes of Israel (the Hebrew Israelites) have suffered but prevailed for 3,000 years. The descendants of Abraham formed a nation (Israel) around 1300 BC after their Exodus from Egypt to Canaan under the leadership of Moses, and in 1004 BC King David established Jerusalem as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel. NO! In the light of Israeli law and Israel’s right to as a Jewish State, the accusation of against Israel is unjustified. All Israeli citizens are granted full civil and voting rights. And just as a Palestinian state would maintain a demographic balance in favour of Palestinians, so the Jewish state of Israel maintains a demographic balance in favour of Jews by controlling immigration. The facts show that Israel’s role in Arab-Israeli conflicts has always been defensive in response to Arab aggression. In response to major Arab attacks (1948-49, 1967, 1973), or incessant rocket attacks from Gaza, Israel has exercised her right of self-defense under UN Charter Article 51. NO: The terms and do not even appear in the Qur’an, and Mohammad never visited Jerusalem in person. Muslims see Mecca as the holiest place in the Islamic world, and so turn their back on the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem when praying. NO! All of Jerusalem was mandated to be part of the Jewish homeland under the 1922 League of Nations ‘Mandate for and so Israel’s sovereignty over all of Jerusalem is well-founded. Jerusalem was first divided through the 1948-49 Arab invasion of Israel, but at no time was East Jerusalem under legal ownership by an Arab entity. Evidence from the Tanach (the Hebrew Bible), the New Testament, historians like Josephus, and archaeology all testify to the existence of a huge, impressive Temple in Jerusalem. YES: THE CLAIM IS LEGAL ON TWO ACCOUNTS According to international law, Israel has a well-founded claim to sovereignty over Jerusalem, including its Old City. Also in international law, it is a sovereign state’s right to determine its own capital, and Israel proclaimed Jerusalem to be her capital shortly after the declaration of the State of Israel in 1948. NO: The Palestinian refugee problem was created by a sudden invasion of five Arab armies in response to the declaration of the State of Israel in May 1948. Arab governments rejected Israel’s offer to repatriate 100,000 Arab refugees, and the offer of UN money for the refugees. Israel is abiding by the 1995 Oslo II Accord and supplying agreed water quantities. THEY ASSUME THERE IS A LAND’ According to international law, Israel is NOT occupying Palestinian land since the West Bank and Gaza Strip were not under any sovereignty prior to the Six Day War. YES! Archaeology and historical documents show that Jews have lived in Israel for over 3000 years! For example, they verify God’s plan for the Jewish Temple, the existence of King David, and the existence of Jewish synagogues in the Holy Land up to the Muslim conquest in 638 AD.

Bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Israel is located between Lebanon and Egypt. 547 million as of 2016, Israel has a mostly temperate climate throughout the year. While the tensions between Israeli and Palestine have marred this nation’s progress to a certain extent, Israel has a very advanced market economy that is supported by a significant inflow of foreign investments. In fact, as of 2016, Israel’s GDP reached $318. The natural resources of Israel include potash, copper ore, natural gas, phosphate rock, magnesium bromide, clays and sand. The discovery of natural gas fields located near the coast of Israel have successfully transformed the nation’s energy prospect in a big way. Each year, Israel exports approximately 45 million tons of potash, a useful fertilizer, thereby making this country the fourth largest exporter of the product following Canada, Russia and Germany3. Additionally, the high salinity of the waters allow for Israel to be a leading exporter of magnesium bromide, which is a useful mineral found in numerous sedatives and medications. The natural gas exports of Israel have organised with a deal worth about $15 billion USD4 with the Egyptian company Dolphinus Holdings. The national map of Israel. , a subsidiary of Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL), has remained a principal producer of different forms of magnesium and magnesium alloys in Israel. Although Israel is not directly involved in the production of rough diamonds, the country has a globally recognized market that is well known for its diamond cutting, trading and polishing companies; specializing in large, high-value gemstones. In fact, Israel is considered to have one of the most advanced diamond polishing and processing technologies in the world, as these factories utilize various advanced techniques including lasers for diamond cutting processes, brutting machines, automatic polishing machines and computer aided design systems5. By 2016, Israel’s production of bromine reached 170,000 tons as a result of the increased global demands for this important metal. Israel’s development has been largely due to the building and road construction sector, which uses a great deal of the raw materials, such as gravel, sand and limestone, which are mined and quarried in the country. While these numbers have supported to growth of the Israeli economy, Israel has claimed that by 2030 they will cease to use all diesel fuel, coal and gasoline use in an effort to move towards a more renewable future. This announcement was made during a recent energy conference in Tel Aviv in February 2018, during which Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz claimed that by 20309, Israel will also cease to import cars that run on gasoline and diesel fuel. This effort will require a substantial amount of support, as natural gas currently dominates the Israeli market by 70% and coal remains the second largest power source currently used in the country. The government of Israel is keen on promoting its mining sector, as well as ensuring a secure environment for investment in this industry. The Mining Unit of Israel managed by the Controller of Mines, which is responsible for the following:. Since January of 2018, Potash Corporation of Saksatechwan, Canada has agreed to sell its entire holding in Israeli Chemicals of 13. Since this decision, the share price for Israel Chemicals has risen by approximately 10%, which is a total share worth of approximately $19 billion USD in the Tel Aviv and New York stock exchanges10. Following the implementation of a gas export policy in 2013 that allowed Israel to export approximately 40% of its newly discovered natural gas reservoirs, Israel has discovered that their country is home to more gas than it can actually use. Currently, Noble Energy and its Israeli partneres are investing approximately $3. The mineral sector of Israel has positive prospects given that the strength of the economy and global market trends remain stable. Israel: Mining, Minerals and Fuel Resources.

A mineral - previously only known to exist in outer space - has been found on Earth by an Israeli mining company, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports. added to the official list of known minerals this week by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). Taub Avi, CEO of the precious stone exploration company Shefa Yamim, said it was discovered by the company in volcanic rock in northern Israel's It was named carmeltazite due to its discovery near Mount Carmel and the minerals it contains - titanium, aluminium and zirconium. For a new mineral to be declared as such, its composition and crystal structure and properties must different from those of any existing mineral species, according to the IMA's Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names. Although the commission approves many new minerals a year, approval has made the news in mainstream Israeli media and international publications due to its rarity. The company has already received a trademark from the Israeli government to market the stones as the Carmel Sapphire.

Dead Sea is a unique source of minerals which is naturally created under extraordinary climatic conditions. The exceptionally high concentration of natural minerals such as potassium, magnesium, silicon, sodium, calcium, strontium and iron in Dead Sea mud makes it effective in treating and preventing illnesses such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. Moreover, the high concentration of Dead Sea minerals is effective in improving skin diseases and its natural processes. The medicinal properties of Dead Sea mud and its effective action of treatment for various skin diseases on the back of presence of natural minerals is making it the most significant ingredient in cosmetics nowadays. However, Israeli government licensed only one company named Ahava to mine the raw materials at the Dead Sea. The large scale availability of Dead Sea mud on the shore of salty lake in Israel is making it more convenient for the cosmetic product manufacturers to collect the raw material in large quantity. On the other hand, the treating and preventing quality of minerals present in Dead Sea mud is also increasing the demand from end and increasing the sales for Dead Sea mud cosmetics.
