I was watching the Piers Morgan interview with Benjamin Netanyahu the other night, and something hit me when Bibi mentioned his nervousness about building nuclear power plants. He mentioned the recent natural gas find in Israel, and it made me wonder if that might be the plunder that is mentioned in Ezekiel 38. With so much fear about the safety of nuclear power and the Middle East turmoil threatening the flow of oil, it occurred to me that Israel's resources could be what pushes its neighbors into a surprise attack. Thoughts, anyone?
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land. 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages[e] will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?”’
