Potential Golan Heights Oil Discovery?
From Zion’s CEO:
Recent Israeli news articles are touting a significant Afek Oil & Gas / Genie Energy oil find in Israel’s Golan Heights. We at Zion Oil & Gas are “cautiously optimistic” that the oil discovery would ultimately prove successful.
It is indeed good news that there appears to be oil saturation in an equivalent rock layer to the source rock we are searching for in our Megiddo-Jezreel License that is relatively nearby geographically. The true test for Afek is to see if the oil underground is producible above ground in commercial quantities.

Huge Oil Discovery On Golan Heights
After more than a year of round-the-clock drilling, large amounts of oil have been found on the Golan Heights. Estimates are that the amount of oil discovered will make Israel self sufficient for very many years to come.
Afek Oil and Gas chief geologist Dr. Yuval Bartov told Channel 2 News, “We are talking about a strata which is 350 meters thick and what is important is the thickness and the porosity. On average in the world strata are 20-30 meters thick, so this is ten times as large as that, so we are talking about significant quantities. The important thing is to know the oil is in the rock and that’s what we now know.”
NOTE: Zion Founder, John Brown, wrote about his conversations with Dr. Harold Vinegar of Genie Oil in Jerusalem. (See his email from August 7 HERE.)
Prophecies Being Fulfilled?
Zion believes this is the beginning of these prophecies:
“So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock…” Deuteronomy 32:12,13
“When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil…” Job 29:6
So a humongous deposit of oil has been discovered under the soil of the Golan as of October 2015. Well now, that’s a pleasant surprise. Also a pleasant surprise is the large reservoir of natural gas found under the Mediterranean Sea in Israeli waters in just this past decade. These are both pleasant surprises for the nation of Israel. Here’s my question- did the Almighty Himself already hint at the notion that a treasure of these most valuable, 20th century commodities would be in the nation of Israel in these last days? Absolutely!
When Moses blessed the sons of Israel in Deuteronony Chapter 33: 13-17, he said the following words on behalf of Joseph. Here is the text from the King James Version:
“And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
Notice that Moses says that God will bless Joseph’s land as well as the “deep that coucheth beneath.” Hmmm….
Also, when Jacob called his sons forth to bless them in the 49th Chapter of Genesis, it is verses 22-26 that are the blessings Jacob gives to Joseph. Here is the text from the King James Version:
“ … Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel): Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren…”
Interesting that Jacob states that The Almighty will bless Joseph with the blessings of the “deep that lieth under” and specifically uses this exact choice of words to bless Joseph. And Moses used the term “the deep that coucheth beneath” in his blessing upon Joseph. Why are these particular phrases used by both of these Hebrew patriarchs in their blessing to Joseph? To backtrack a bit, it should be noted that there is no true tribe of Joseph as the Bible indicates- there are only the tribes of Joseph’s two sons Ephraim and Manasseh that form the House of Joseph. And so, moving along- where were the boundary lines of the ancient Hebrew tribe of Manasseh? Those boundary lines extended west from the Mediterranean Sea at the present day modern city of Haifa- all the way east across the Jordan River and all the way across and through the present-day area called the Golan Heights.
Today, the city of Haifa is the location where all the natural gas drilled offshore in Israeli waters is brought to the mainland to be used and sold across Europe, and the Golan Heights is where the vast oil deposits have been discovered. There is no question that, when Moses leaned on his staff and blessed the sons of Abraham and when Jacob called his sons together to give them his blessing, the Almighty whispered into both their ears and told them both PRECISELY what words to speak on behalf of Joseph regarding the land of Manasseh and it’s “deep treasures.” The words are specific and to the letter.
So, the oil and natural gas found in Israel of late are a nice surprise. The Almighty knew it all along, of course. He had to be smiling to Himself when he whispered into Moses’ and Jacobs’ ear and told them the exact words He had for Joseph’s blessing! And so who owns that land now? Who owns the nation of Israel? The so-called Palestinians? The UN and the World Court of Public Opinion? Never!
Tell you what- I’ll give you a hint as to Who it is owns that land. Let me whisper it in your ear…

I have been investing in ZN Oil since 2007. I don’t have a lot of money and could only purchase 25.00 or 50.00 each month. Then I was able to buy directly from the company and this allowed me to purchase more stock. I remember when Mr. Brown was telling investors not to give up, stay the course and I am sure many gave up and sold their stocks. On message boards they laughed at ZN Oil, said it was a hoax, a joke. I told many people about Mr. Brown and what he was trying to do for Israel. I told everyone to invest…no one took my advice, many laughed at me, even those who had a lot of money did not invest. In the end, it’s not about the money, it’s all about Israel being independent. I look forward to one day going to Israel and maybe one day I’ll get to meet Mr. Brown. Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you…” Well… Psalms 23:5 “…My cup runneth over.”
