Two energy companies out of Israel seem to be persistent and convinced of the idea that there is oil in Israel the Jerusalem Post is reporting, and they may be right. For many years, there have been several who have speculated that there is oil around the Dead Sea area. If this is the case, this could have huge ramifications in placing "hooks in Gog's" jaws, drawing him and his armies down to Israel to take the spoil spoken of in Ezekiel 38:12,13 during Gog-Magog War. I believe this is another event that needs to be watched closely as we head further into the last days and closer to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Two Israeli energy companies are convinced the best chance for finding oil in Israel lies at a site in the Judean Desert nature reserve and have stirred up a storm of controversy with their persistent requests to drill an exploratory hole.
The Israeli Parks Authority has in the past, granted permission for exploratory drilling, but environmental groups say any such drilling in this area would destroy the fragile ecosystem in this nature reserve which is the site of the potential oil source. More at link above.
This sounds very promising...
Update August 28, 2008 - Oil Drills Approved
"The drilling and extraction of oil could harm whole populations of rare species," the specialists wrote in their objecting statement. "We believe that the foreseen production does not justify the permit to severely and permanently harm plants and wildlife, as well as the landscape and tourists in an official nature reserve."
The drilling companies, on the other hand, believe there is plenty of oil to be found at the premises, and with rising global prices, declared the enterprise extremely profitable. They also claimed the oil was strategically important to the State of Israel, which is currently dependant on other countries for its oil supply.
