Lo, there came oilmen from the West


WHEN oilmen go prospecting they usually put their faith in geologists to help their risky ventures. John Brown prefers to trust God and the Bible to make him and the State of Israel rich.

No matter that little oil had been discovered there. Mr Brown has persuaded hundreds of other American evangelical Christians to help him to raise the £3.6 million required for “Project Joseph”. He believes it is his life’s mission to unearth Israel’s oil wealth, secure the future of “God’s covenanted people”, and lay the ground for the Messiah’s return.

“I know in my heart that what God told me was true,” he said. “I’ve no doubt we will find oil. It’s not a matter of ‘if’, but ‘when’. I believe it’s my purpose in life. We’re going to help the people of the nation of Israel.”

For that reason Mr Brown will not rest until he succeeds. “This is God’s promise to the people of Israel. In my journey I have a desire, a purpose, a destiny to help the people of Israel with their oil requirements,” he said. “When we discover oil it will be huge politically for the Israeli people.”
