From Tent to High Rent
Quote: Jeremiah 17:3-4: "My mountain in the land and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of sin throughout your country. Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know…"
Much of the tremendous oil riches lie beneath land promised to Abraham’s seed in Genesis 17. Israel, however, refused to fully claim that Promised Land. Worse, God’s chosen people disobeyed God’s loving instructions on a number of occasions. When they did, they were put out of the portions of the original land grant territory they did occupy. Other peoples moved in and occupied the land. Intruders still hold on to the majority of Israel’s land today. But, their land grab was, is, and will always be illegal in God’s perfect sight.
Just as Jeremiah prophesied, the land has yielded its treasures and substance to those other than God’s disobedient people. Oil is the treasure and substance in our day. The mostly Islamic Arabs now have the riches, as foretold in that Jeremiah 17 passage.
With the second industrial revolution came an explosion of wealth for many of the tent-dwelling Arabs and others in that land of oil. The most powerful of those people suddenly found themselves among the richest on earth. This is because their petroleum was needed to run the motorized machinery of industry’s production lines. The sheiks and kings of the Middle East did literally go from rags to riches. From tent to high rent! |
