PASTOR HAGEE: We welcome those of you who are watching across the nation and
around the world to the Washington D.C. Night to Honor Israel Banquet. I have with me on the set tonight, John Brown. John Brown is the Chairman of Zion Oil and he's the sponsor of this great banquet. John Brown, we're delighted to have you tonight and God
Bless you.
JOHN BROWN: Thank you, Pastor.
PASTOR HAGEE: You are drilling for oil in Israel and it's an exciting project, and when do you project that this oil well will be in production?
JOHN BROWN: Well, we'll begin drilling this year, in September. That's our target date and hopefully by the fourth quarter of 2008, that we should see production. But as a
faith man, I do believe that God's going to give us that. And I base that on scripture, and that scripture would be Hebrews 11:1, "By faith, it's the substance that's hoped for, the
evidence not seen," and I do, as a faith man, believe that God will give that to us soon.
PASTOR HAGEE: What led you to drill in Israel and the particular area you are drilling?
JOHN BROWN: Pastor, it was the Bible, specifically, the Torah. Because basically, when you look at the scriptures, you'll see in Genesis, chapter 48: 15-22, where Jacob
himself then blesses the sons of Joseph, which is Manasseh and Ephraim. And then in Genesis, chapter 49:1, he specifically says "Jacob called to his sons and said 'Gather
yourselves together that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.'" And then specific to Joseph's blessing, verses 23-26, there's some key verses, or key words in there that caused me to begin to think that this could be oil. And it starts out in 25 by saying "even by the God of thy fathers, who shall help thee and by the Almighty who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above and the blessings of the deep that lies beneath." The next verse specifically talks about the blessings of his, would be above his progenitors, which means more in the end than in the beginning, and then he talks about the blessing would be on the head of Joseph. So if you look at the scriptures and at the
biblical map, you will see Manasseh and Ephraim is where we have 162,000 acre license, exactly like God said, on the head of Joseph, in Manasseh and Ephraim. So it was the Bible that did that, so when I began reading this Bible, and I saw it in Genesis, with
Jacob's blessings, and I also saw Moses in Deuteronomy 33, again spoke about this blessing, and then his verses, with Moses in Deuteronomy 33:1, he talked about that "he
blessed them with the same blessings that Jacob did." So we had Jacob that did the blessing and we had Moses. Then in verses 13-16, it really became a little more specific, because what the scriptures teach is he talked about "Blessed will be the land, and the blessings will come on the head of Joseph." And he spoke specifically, and said in scriptures, "and for the goodwill of him that dwells in the bush, let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph." So if you look at the biblical map, you will see an outline, almost of a head, of a person, because also, in another verse, it talks about, verse 24, "Let
Asher be blessed with children, let him dip his foot in oil." So when you look at the biblical scripture, the foot has to dip down on the head of Joseph, on Manasseh, and that's exactly where we drilled our last well, and where we're going to drill two wells this year.
PASTOR HAGEE: Right now, the world economy is being driven by oil. America's scrambling to get all they can; so is China; so is India. And the price of gas is going up
by the day. A discovery of oil in Israel will simply be an economic earthquake. Do you have any idea what volume of oil you're looking at?
JOHN BROWN: We do, but by SEC regulations, we cannot share that, the volumes of it. But what's published, is on our website, is our next two wells will be on prospects totaling over 24,000 acres of potential multi-payzones or prospects. IN our last well we drilled, we saw numerous indications of oil and gas over a 2,000 foot interval, and we'll be appraising those shows while drilling deeper to the highly prospective Permian formation, which is going to be at around 18,000 feet, and that's basically, when we go to scriptures, that's the blessings of the deep that lies beneath.
