After years of planning, preparation and fighting for the relevant permits, Texas-based, Christian-owned Zion Oil & Gas officially began drilling in northern Israel last week.
For years, Israel Today has been covering the progress of Zion Oil, a company that exists solely to bless Israel by discovering the natural resources the Bible suggests lie below the surface of the Promised Land.
Zion Oil “exists because of God’s faithfulness to Israel,” company founder John Brown said in 2011.
At the time, Brown was convinced that the Land was just waiting to spill forth its bounty for the Children of Israel. And he remains convinced of that today.
The new drilling site is located in the Jezreel Valley region of northern Israel.
Zion Oil’s Megiddo-Jezreel License is firmly situated in the Levant Basin, an area that experts estimate holds up to 6.6 billion barrels of oil.
The coming months are going to be very exciting for Zion Oil, and the entire nation of Israel.
