G-D's enactment

Nurit Greenger

The Jewish State of Israel has recently discovered crude oil and natural gas deposits of significant magnitude.

If acted correctly, this discovery has the full potential to make the Jewish state an oil and natural gas independent, significantly wealthier and possibly an important [power] player on world's stage.

It has been said that Moses brought the Nation of Israel to troubled land, not the land of "Milk and Honey." That claim may have been appropriate when agriculture spun world's economy. Since Henry Ford got tired of walking, thus he invented the four legged automobile, it is crude oil the spins world's economy and Israel now has it! Just as the world has found the formula to dehumanize and demonize the Jewish State and accelerate its anti-Semitic sentiments, in the guise, or without the guise of being anti-Zionist, just as the world began to think it has its noose on Israel's neck, just as the U.N anti-Israel members were salivating at the opportunity to finally hammer the last nail in the State of Israel’s coffin and attempt to renege on the UN 1948 resolution to give the Jewish Nation sovereignty, in its ancient Land of Israel, and make it a member of the family of nations, like an A-bomb falling from the skies, the news came out, the Jewish State of Israel has discovered Petroleum, the Black Gold, the Texas Tea, galore.

There are people who say, G-d knows what He is doing.

There is an old saying, how lucky the world is that Israel has no black oil, or gasoline would be ten dollars a gallon…it is true?

Is the world lucky? Could Israel outsmart the world and throw the first punch? Line-up all potential buyers and agree to sell its petroleum at a discount price, Wal-Mart price? Will Wall Street have a heart attack then?

Twisted irony! Israel is hardly recognized for its goodness. Its discoveries, in the cure of cancer, or the healing of shattered hearts, are hardly mentioned, rather taken from granted. When Israeli scientists find cure that can finally fight the endless suffering from diseases, or when incredible inventions in technologies come out of that tiny Jewish state, the world replies with, let us boycott the wicked Jewish State. But when Israel made its black oil discovery world news, the financial world's hearts stopped their engines for a monumental second.

While Israel is constantly making the world a significantly better place to live in, it is almost dismissed by most. But having black sludge, now the Israeli-Jews are worth something! We must pay attention!

Being light unto the nation, the command G-d gave His 'Chosen Children', causes jealously and makes no friends for Israel on world stage. Money makes you have fair-weather friends. These are the kind of "friends" Israel can count on having. Really, hardly any friends.

Almost when many thought that Israel is on its last round, G-d thought differently. Just as the Jewish State was almost down on the ground, one kick away from evil’s final goal, G-d's little maneuver had an enormous potential to change reality on the ground in the Holy Land.

At least when it comes to the oil fields, timing could have not been more impeccable. Since crude oil, indeed, makes the world go around.

In the 1950s, the term "Seven Sisters" was coined by Italian businessman Enrico Mattei, describing the seven oil companies which formed the "Consortium for Iran" and dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the 1970s. The group comprised of Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil Company of New York (now Exxon Mobil), Standard Oil of California, Gulf Oil, Texaco (now Chevron), Royal Dutch Shell and Anglo Persian Oil Company (now BP). In 1973 the members of the "Seven Sisters" controlled 85% of the world's petroleum reserves. However, in recent decades, in an emerging-market economies,

their and their successor companies dominance has been greatly challenged by the OPEC Cartel and of state-owned oil companies' increasing influence.

Will Israel emerge as he "Eighth Sister" - the Joseph, Jacob's sons did not know and did not except to ever see, after they sold him to the Midianites? Will the "Seven Sisters", more so, OPEC, now be challenged by Israel Petroleum Company (IPC) and Leviathan?

When production finally begins and sales are made, will the world have an excuse to blame Israel for controlling the world's oil market as well? Or, will Israel be smart enough and significantly help relief the world of Arab-Moslem oil dependency?

Only time will tell?

He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
